W 1 received this morning two Ham:burgh Maill, froth whi c h we h ave extr s ded the following most MaArial articles of intelligence. CONSTANTINOPLU, OCT. Is. —The Russian Ara -1 bigasador s M. ITALINsKY, has declared to the Porte, by order of his Court, that the EMPEROR of Rut 41A has never entertained the idea of participating with other Powers in the partition of Europcin Turkey.' ITALY, Nov. r.—On the 611 inst. the Italian Troops deitint4 fur ihe Expedition against Eng. land will begin ti.eic march br France, under 4e. Acr4 l'iho. 4 tie greater "part-`of the 'ateers 'fitted out by. I;}elnliabitants of 'ale Italian Republic have been alrea . dy taken by the ngli~h. Rot;tr OCT. 2.i.—A *part of. the French Trrinps' in the Kingdom of Naples are now on their march back to Upper Italy, by way of Ancona. Priv, V I ENNA, ' Nov. 9.—The Austrian Ambassador: at London, Count STAHREMBERG, has sent a Cou rier to our Court, who arrived at Vienna on the 6th inst. It is believed here, that the subject of his dispatches relates to Mediatory Negotiations, at least so far , as the War between England and France may interest the German Empire. Yesterday Count METTERNICH Set Out with his family for Berlin, as Austrian Envoy to lliC Prus. sian Court. CADIZ, OCT. 22.—The day before yesterday an order was received here from Madrid. to fit out several Ships of the Line. Similar orders have been sent to Ferrol and ocher Sea-ports. It is believed that these preparations are in consequence of the late arrangements with France. FIVE Millions, to be raised by Exchequer Bills, were yesterday voted in the House of Commons in a Committee of Waysiind Means. This sum, cope. then with the annual Duties, which were voted at the same time, Mr. ADDINGTON stated would be all he should want until an advanced period of the Session. Some discuision afterwards took place on the Motion of Mr. Secrelary YORKE, to continue the A4ls for suspending the Habeas Corpus, and for the Suppression of Rebellion In Ireland. Mr. YORKE expressed his convittion that the Leaders of the late Insurrettion, if not themselves immediately conneft.. ed with the French Government, were conne4led with Irish Traitors in France, who held an imme. diate intercourse with the Government of that Country. The Bills were brought ib, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. • IT is generally . understood that a converse. Lion of some 'importance will take place on Mon day in the House of Commons. It is even said that Mr. Fox means to attend and take 'an aelive part in the Debate—lf the Conversation is supported with that spirit of inquiry and investi gation which has charafterized the Proceedings of that House for several' years past, and has raised the Representative Body in the resped and esteem of the Nation, we may look for sontethinvf a satin.. , fadory result. If Ministers were conscious pf having done their duty to the utmostif their Mea sures were direaed by sound wisdom and enlight. coed policy, they would court discussion, not shun it by little petty arts of conciliation—by shaking hands and bowing and nodding to Men of all Par_ ties indiscriminately, devices to curry favour, More becoming the Master of the Ceremonies at a Sub. scription Ball, than the Minister of a Great Em. Aire at a Crisis pregnant with its Fate. It has been the fortune of the present Ministers never to have had serious or weighty Opposition to enco unter, and hence the Public Business has been transa4fed in Parliament as matters' of conrse. The state of Parties likewise has been highly favourable to them—Mr. Pt re and many of his personal Friends threw their weight into the Scale of Administra. tion, while the present Ministers pursued the prin. ciples upon which they set out, and which they had uniformly professed, and while their incapacity and imbecility in,the condua of the Affairs of the Na.. tion were still unknown and unexposed. ,The Old Opposition gave their support, as a Body, upon the ground Gf their preferring Mr. ADDINGTON to Mr. PITT, and that their support of the.former would lessen the chance of the latter's return to Power; while certain Members of that Body, more just ly estimating the Minister's real charader than others, saw a door opened for their creeping into place, which had been the principal stimulus to their political exertions for a long period of years.— .Those who recommended themselves by threats or by fawning, have completely succeeded—while those who took a middle course, have only brought themselves into a very awkward prcdicamenr. They have gone too far to recur to Opposition, and not fat. enough to get into place. While this game has been playing, however, the situation of the Country has become most truly alarming to every man who bestows a thought upon the subjed. Such discUssions we hope will 'soon be brought on as will place things in a more satisfaaory light before the Public. If the measures of Mini. sters have been the wisest, and the most advanta geous to the Coentry in every instance which it was possible to pursue, it is fit the Country should as certain this consolatory filet, through other channels than tht prostituted pens of venal Journalists, who are in the established habit of praising those that pay them best. If the prosecution of the war since its commencement has been vigorous, judicious and proper-..if the condua of Ministers with respeCt to 'dcfence 1 eltir means `0; pas beitii4lroMpt and if the 'representations that have been Made of the state of the Finances are accurate and just, and the hopes which they. have to hold Out on this..sobjea are well founded—if the public expenaiture has been direded by Virtue., tvisdom and economy-a 7 if their condui9 towards Spain has been politic and consistent with the honour and interest of the Country—these surely are all points that it *ls material to have examined and established on the basis of truth and convilion, and not , left to the broad assertion of venal and cortupted pens, which must always be received by 'the people, from the channel through which it comes, with doubt and distiust. If these fa& can be affirmatively established in favour of His Majesty's Ministers, we . shall rejoice that the situation of the Country is so much better_than peo ple in general at present suppose it to be. But if, on the other hand, it shall be found that Ministers are faulty in every one of the particulars enumerated, is it not time that the Representatives of the Na tion should throw themselves between the inca pacity of those Ministers and the Country, and rescue the latter from the critical and perilous state in which we fear, upon a close examination, it will be found to be ? A Mail from Dub/in, of the z9th ult. arrived this morning, without bringing any thing of into. rest. On Thut.sday morning a Messenger arrived at Windsor, with Dispatches for His NAjesTsr. Yesterday morning HIS MAJESTY and the DUKE of KENT took the diversion of hunting with the harriers in the Great Park, to the lett of Cumber. land Lodge. PRINCESSES AMELIA and AUGUSTA took an airing through the Plantationi and by Virginia Water. Yesterday a Court of Dirednrs was held at tie East India House, when Tito. Reit), Esq. took the oaths and his seat as a Diredor. The Court adjourned at six o'clock till Wednesday next. Private Letters from the Continent tnniirm the intelligence already Stated, of a demand having been nride by BONAYARTIt on the DUIcE of BRIIN3VICK, of a considerable sum by wny of arrears of Contri butions levied by the French in the Seven Years War, and which - remained unpaid ; and add, that a similar application by way of Loaf: hds been made to the Lt.ECTOR of Hesse CAbUer.. His Serene Highness answered, that it would be impossible for him to accede to this proposition without levying additional burthens on his Sul)jcas, a measure to which he could not resort. If this account be true, the Dominions of His Elcdoral Highness will pro bably soon experience a• visitation Itorn the French Army. A respeftable Russian Merchant has irttiveti from his Coriespondent at Petersburgh, Copy of the Ukase issued .by - the litar 01012 of RUSSIA, on the zd ult. It .states that, under the peculiar circumstances of Europe at the present crisis, His IMP IMAI. MAJESTY has thought i t r i g h t to h e prepared for any pos s ible result. He has therefore given dittetions to recruit his Army, by taking two out of every five bundled of hi© Subjects, which will add about 60,000 men to • his military force and that both his Fleets in the Baltic anti the Black Sea should be immediately got ready for service ; the former to drop down to Revel. At a large public Meeting at Petersburgh, the fallowing toast was given and drank with enthu. siasmn :--" Success to the -Brithb Arms over those of France." The 13th Regiment of Light Dragoons, now on King's duty, were reviewed by his Royal High ness the Doti of YottK this morning, on AO fora Common. ELF' Bay, with a numerous - suite of attendants, were to be present. Yesterday morning 'at ten o'clock, the Windsor Volunteers assembled at the Ohl Guard Room in the Castle, under the command of Cu!. ROOK,. to re ceive their Colours. Soon after two companies of the Staffordshire Milia. marched to the Great Court yard and formed a line for the reception of Lady CARDIGAN. At twelve o'clock her Ladysliipattenti. ed by Sir WM. PITT and Mr. Nut 'who tarried the Colour's, arrived and walked in front t:if . tlie line. After an elegant and impressive speech her Ladyship presented the Colours to Col. ROOICi when the ; whole Corps presented arms, and the band played " God save the Icing," they then shoulder. ed arms and gave three cheers.—This Corps is reckoned the finest in the county of Berksi, con. sidcring the short time it has been formed.; In addition to the account wit gave yesterday ofr the dreadful fir: in Frith street, we have only tts . - 1 give the following, which we believe to , he an ac. curate statement of the devastation which it .ocea- sinned. The house No. 39, witted. The house of ---Y. Hoer, Esq, a complete.ruin. The following houses are levelled with the ground : The house of Mr. Hoomto, Attorney.

All the furniture, which' was colleCted in the streets having been removed, the Volunteers were this morning telieved from further duty. Preparations arc making fur pulling dlwn some of the wt Ils which are still standing, but in a must dangerou3 state.
