It is statedin, a Public Prnt Oat Prince YPSILAN TI, the late Hospodar of Walachia, just removed by, the Turkish Goverment, his retired with 200 of his followers to Hermanstadt. SEMLIN, SEPT. 2 .—The following is what is re lated upon the last success gained by the Servians After the unfortunate etrgagement of the 16th July. the Ottoman troops assembled anew ; and hav ing been reinforced by a corps come from Adria nople, under the orders of Saczy Pacha, their num ber amounted to twenty- two thousand. Being suf ficiently provided with arms and stores, the Turks resolved to march again with all their forces against the insurgents. The latter being apprised by their spies of this proje&, sent for reinfOrcements, and took every measure to repel the enemy. The Ser vian Army, 31,000 strong, occupied an intrenched camp, a mile from Alexinza, and was divided into four ,Columns. The first, about thirteen thousand men, under the orders of the Chief MLADEN, formed the main body; the second, of six thousand nien, commanded by the Chief JAcosLowrtin, was posted behind on the right ; and the third, of the like num ber, under the orders of the Chief STANVILA,formed the left wing on the same line as the second. The 4th column, or - reserve, was posted at a certain dis tance from the main body. The day before the battle, and upon information being received that the Turks were to attack the next day, the 2d and ad columns quitted their camp in the evening: the one marched towards Morawa, and formed an ambuscade in a wood; the other marched farther, and posted itself behind Bagno. AbOui five o'clock in the morn ing the Turks went out of their camp, pitched in _ front of the latter place, and advanced in two co lumns towards Alexinza. At six o'clock they ar= rived before the camp of the Servians, and itnme cliately attacked it ; the fire of artillery and mus ketry was very brisk on each side, and lasted several hours. The Turks, after in vain attempting to force the centre of the line of the Servians, made an attack upon the two wings; but it proved equally . fruitless. " At the moment owhen the engagement wqs warmest the two columns of die insurgents which . 1 were placed in ambush advanced and took the Turks in the rear; the latter immediately formed into two lines, one of which marched to meet these two columns, and the other' still faced the main . body. ...-They fought .on both sides with the greatest ob stinacy—the 'Turkish Cavalry particularly_ distin guished itself by the rapidity of 'its movements. Viatory was for a long time undecided—at length the main body of the Servians contrived to break the line of the Turks; this occasioned great disorder, which was soon followed by a total rout, The Turks, harassed on all Bidet, fled towards their camp : - arrived th , ere, they endeavoured to form anew—but the Seri fans, who were at their heels, did not allow them time, and again forced them to fly. The catty, with all the stores and provisions, together with Mu r pieces of ordnance, fell into their hinds. The Ser vian Cavalry pursued the enemy as far as Nissa, and the Infantry beyond Baps:, and Pauakin (four leagues *ona Nissa). The loss on both sides was consider able, it is estimated at 5000 killed, exclusive of the wounded.• It was on the 30th of August that this aaion took place. The Commander of the Turks, Bl!,ißasonx, and the two other Chiefs, DEL= and PAcIIA, had been made prisoners at the close of the engagement ; but were afterwards delivered' by the Turkish Cavalry." MADRID, SEPT. t6.—Our Government, eager to adopt all measures favourable to public prosperity, has just authorised the formation of a Lottery, the produce of which is to defray, in some measure, the nishing of the famous Arragon Canal, which is in tended to render the Ebro navigable from the Fron tiers of Navarre to the Mediterranean, and, at the Same time, to fertilize, by irrigations, the land which this river flows through. To consummate this great work, one of the most useful which can be undertaken, there are only nine leagues to be dug ; and the Lottery in question will' provide for_ the expellees still required. It consists of 16,000 shares of 1000 reals (250 francs) each, forming a capital of sixteen millions of . reals, of which 12, millions will be collected for the prizes of different values, and the. four others appropriated to the ex pence% of the undertaking. This LOttery is so combined that none of the ventures can be wholly lost, and there will be two great prizes, one of 600,000 reals, and the other- of 300,000 ; there will be also two of 150,000, and so on to , the smallest prizes, which will be of 300 reels. As a true public spirit _is well-known to exist in our Country, and as every one is convinced of the benefit the Canal of Arragon will procure to a great part of the Monarchy, we arc persuaded that in order to be quickly filled, the proposed Lottery does not even stand in need of the advantages it presents. • PARIS, SEPT. 27.—Tbe young Duke of AnEm - BERG , has been for some days at Paris. It is asserted that he is authorised to raise a regiment of Light. Horse, of which he is to have the command. The' horse-races instituted by the Imperial , De cree of the 3d Fru&idor, year 13, will take place on the Champ de Mats on the sth inst. The Class of the Fine Arts of the Institute will distribute the grand prizes for Printing, Sculpture, Architeaure„Engraving, and Musical Composition, =Saturday; the 4th inst. in the New Hall of the Institute, at the Palace of the Fine Arts, formerly college Memaria, precisely at three o'clock. The doors Will be opened at two. The works now going on in the Castle of Econen, sander the direaion of M. PEYR,F,„ Archite&, and, Mernner of the Legion of Hono6r, are so far ad,' vanced, that on the Ist of Jan. next the paternal in tentions of his Imperial and Royal Majesty will begin to be fulfilled, concerning the daughters of the Mem bers of the above Legion. SEPT. 2r).—The operations relative to the Con.; seription were terminated in the Department of the Lys with great dispatch. All the detachments des tined for the aaive Army have already marched to join their respective corps, The Conscripts testify the utmost willingness to serve. 30.—The first detachment of the Conscripts of 18U6, of the Department of Jemappe, marched. • off on the 6th of September; the other detathments followed day by day, so that on the wth the contin gent was entirely furnished. In the Department otthe Eire, the first detach.- .hunt set off on the 6th of September ; on the gist the last marched off : thus the totality of the con . %Id • tingents for the aaive Army is on its route for its destination, or is already arrived. In the Depart ment of the Seine Inferieure, the levy . of the con scription is finished; it was performed with that fa cility which. at once denotes a well constituted Go vernment, and a people entirely devoted to their Government. A numerous and brilliatit'yoUth con curreed in this levy. The Conscripts of the Department of Vilaine, which is to form part of the active Army, are on their march to join the Corps for which they are destined. The 22d of September, the last de tachment set off fromlten nes. These operations, per-,. formed with as much dispatch as success, have fur nished a new occasion of remarking the zeal and devotion of the functionaries and inhabitants of that Country. The Colonel-General of the Dragoons, M. BABA QUAY VHILLIERS, has set out for Italy, where he is to , take the command of the Army in Friuli. OCTOBER 2.--General VAUX, who served with distinction in Egypt, and has since had the command in the Department de la Cote d'Or, has set out from Dijon to join the Grand Army.—The Prince of IsemeußOu left Montpelier, where his Regiment still lies, to proceed to Mentz, to join his Niajesty the Emperor. OCTOBER 3 was on the night between the Ist and 2d of this month that his Excellency M. VON KNOBLESDORF, Minister tram his Majesty the King of Prussia, left Paris. It is certain that he went to Mayence.. He had, previously to his departure, re ceived a Courier from his Court. Their Majesties arrived at Metz on .Sunday the 28th. On passing through Metz his Majesty was six boUrs on horseback inspeaing the Fortifications, the Arsenal, the Imperial School for the Artillery and Corps of Engineers, and;he other Military Establish ments of that City, which is one of the strongest places in the Empire. The young Duke of ARREMBERG has- been some , days at Paris. It is said that his Highness has received the Emperor's approbation to raise a Re giment of Light Horse, of which lie is to be the Colonel. From the 23d to the 28th of September, .Prince WHAT, Prince BORGHESiE, Marshals KELLER:VANN. DUROC, AVGEREAU, MONCEY, BESSIERES,andother Generals, have successively passed through the De partment of the Meuse, on their way to Mentz. During the same space of time 10,000 troops, among which are the Ist and 2d Regiments of Guards, too the same route. OCTOBER 4.—Died at Paris on the Ist of this month, the Right Rev. Father in God STEPHEN "ALEXANDER 'JOHN BAPTIST MARIA BERNIER, late Bishop of Orleans, and tiginerly one of the most formidable Chiefs of the Chouan Army. He was, born on the 31st of Oelober, 1764, at Daon, and consecrated on the 11 th of April, 1802,, Bishop of Orleans, after having, according to convention, dis-e banded the Rebel Royalists who served under his command at the time when the un fortunate Geueees, Conjointly with himself, was in the zenith of his ce lebrity. The funeral obsequies for this Prelate were celebrated this morning, in the church of the Abbaye • St. Germain, in the presence of several Bisheps and a numerous body of the Clergy. All the carpenters are in requisition at Cologne, Bonn, and other places in the environs, to throw bridges across the Rhine at the first order.. A private letter from Olufswig, in Iceland, men tions that there are at present, in one of the eulplis on the Coast of that Island, two French Frigates l coming torn Greenland, who have destroyed a great number of Ships belonging to the English en gaged in the-Whale Fishery. They have brought with them a number of English prisoners, all ill of the scurvy. Two other Frigates, crowded in like manner with prisoners, were on the way to join them. The Grand Bailiff, Commandant of the Island, M. the Count VON TRAMPE, had proceeded to Dyrefiord to offer every assistance both to the French and to their prisoners. The Conscription is going on with the greatest adivity in the Departments. In the .Department de sixteen young men offered them Selves above the number required, and a&ually marched oil with the complement drawn by ballot. The Berlin Gazette of the eed ult. states, that the King was not then preparing to quit that Capi tal. On the preceding day his Majesty ,made several promotions in the Army, received the resignation of several Officers, granted them pensions : and the right of wearing the uniform. The Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary of Prussia, General KNOBELSDORFF, set off on Tuesday morning last in sorder to join the .Em peror at Mentz. This is thought to he in conse quence of dispatches he received from Berlin the day after the departure of H. I. and R. M.—Journal de l'Enipire. The Colonel-General of the Dragoons, M: BA RAGUAY D'HILLIERS, has set off for Italy ; he is going to take the command of the Army in Frioul. The public continue to flock in crowds to the ex hibition of the produce of national industry, where the manufadurers are authorised to sell those ar ticles which are net necessary for the decisions of the Jury. The specimens sent by the Departments were at first classed by sorts, in order that the-qualities might be better compared with each other. They are now distributed by departments ; each department will• have its portico, or at leaseits panne' of the portico. The alphabetical order observed in the Notice will be followed ; so that with the letter in hand, the principal sorts of meaufadure will be successively made known, as also the most distinguished Mann efadurers of every part of the Empire. A represene tation of our manufacturing geography will thus he laid before us. This dstribution will present a new subje& of instruction and curiosity for spectators. The most perfe& order reigns throughout this im mense competition ; the Agents of the Ministry . of the Interior keep. guard over it during the night. The Manufa&urers display, great complaisance in chew= lug their, produCtions. ' It is not yet fixed when the Exhibition is to close. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VIMPUN, S€PT. 27. " Their Majesties arrived in this town yesterday at..five o'clock in the morning.. without being ex peaed. They stopped here only the short time rht , ... cessary to change horses ; but these few morrrcnts sufficed to assemble in the streets the whole popu lation of this town., emulou3 to offer ti their Sove reigns,the homage of their respect, their . and tlieir,love. Their Majeuies . doi - sed,-the town amidst the cries " Long live'the Emperor !" a thou , sand times repeated by a numerous people, whom their presence filled with joy and satisfa&ion. " This unanimous and unprepared homage ap , peared to Make a lively, impression upon the Eng lish in this town: . They were enabled to judge from it with what sentiments the Nation is animated to, wards its august Chief. The public enthusia'sm at the sight of the Hero and general Betiefa6tor is the most noble and complete refutation of the absurd tales with which the London Newspapers amuse the Eng lish populace upon this subje% &c. &c. " His Majesty the Emperor arrived at Mentz on Sunday morning last."—(Gazette de France) FROM THE ARGUS, SATURDAY, OCT. 4. " The capture of Buenos Ayres is an even t w hi c h was not to be expe&ed upon comparing the mili tary strength and the population of that Colony with the feebleness of the English Squadron : the conquest of French 'Colonies is a dearer achieve ment. But as to the others, the successes of this kind have so amazingly multiplied in this War and the last, that it will soon be sufficient for the Admiralty to send notice to a. Colony that it is in a slate of capture, as they notify that a port is in a state of blockade. It is not less singular to ob serve, that this conquest, to which they attach so much importance at London, is hardly perceived on the Continent. The invasion of a German village makes more sensation here than the conquest of a Kingdom in Asia. England has reduced the Euro• - pean Princes to behold her greatness with indiffe rence ; she has eternally occupied' them with ac cessory interests ; she has constantly kept up their quarrels ; she has carefully ruined their induStry, their navy and their trade. In the state of indif ference in which she keeps them in this respeti - , she completes at full liberty her system ; 'she extends . on all sides her EMpire ; without the other, Powers even thinking of disputing it with her. - She makes immense acquisitions almost' without drawing * her sword ; and when she judges proper to give the world a few moments of peace, she keeps the useful con quests, and returns only. ruined establishments. , " England relaxed the rigours of her Maritime Laws when she was apprehensive, that the Conti nental Powers might see .too clearly into her pre tensions, and might unite to 'escape her,monopoly; —she made serve, concessions to Netitrals, when her wlrehohscs were'glutted with goods which she wished to get speedily rid of, or when her Colonies were in want of the Neutrals to supply them with subsistence. At present she seems to announce that the Ad , of Navigation, is to be again resorted to in all itsvigour—she regrets the sacrifices made to necessity—she thinks she has sufficiently 'embroiled "the Powers of the Continent with their own divi sions to be any longer in need of sparing them, and to consummate the ruin of their people: , The heed lessness with which they see these enormous usur pations seems wonderfully strange upon being com pared with the restless uneasiness which they display in all the atrairs of the Continent." • The vulgar perceive nothing beyond the terri tory they inhabit; they are apt to look upon univer sal trade and immense calbnies as objeEts foreigrrto the power of nations ; but the enlightened,man sees that in the state of civilization which Europe has ar rived to, trade and the navy have a powerful influence over the strength and prosperity of Empires. ,He who disposes at his pleasure of the riches of India and America, and who forces nations to receive the prods Lions of his industry, really levies enormous taxes upon them; he arbitrarily exercises what con stitutes sovereignty; and this empire is not so chi merical as some people May suppose. ". No doubt the political -existence of France pre sents a more solid and a more real power. Her means are within herself,' and their , concentration gives her an immenseadvantage; but we see in their developement, neither the same . extension, nor the sated inconveniencies, for the prosperity •of other States. BefiAe the Revolution, l'i'ranee was the rival of England, as to her Navy and her Trade.; she pos sessed the Colonies the richest in cultivation. She lost both, and would have descended to the lowest ratik of Powers, if, by the genius of her Prince, and the courage of her. Armies, she had not acquired 'on the Continent • a compensation for the losses she tiad sustained. The power 'of England, aug mented by an, immense Empire in India, by several Colonies in America, by the Cape, the improvement Of those she had before,.and the destruaion of her rival Settlements,bring intothe political balance of Europe such - a weight, that all the influence acquired by France can hardly keep up the equilibrium. It is, with :the riches of . both Indies that she purchases European dikorders. The superiority of her Navy would , he an irresistible advantage, if her population were, at the rate Of her ambitious designs,.or if only she had ,completed the ColOnial COnquests which she still'meditates, and even over her ancient Allies. She endeavours to turn aside the looks of other Powers, by sowing among them apprehensions upon the views of France. But upon comparing the use they have both made of their strength, it will be found that she is the most to be dreaded and the most ambitious. On the other hand, we see that France has conquered the half of Europe, and has remained' within her limits; the States attached. to her federate system might be united to .her; they have remained separate, and will be independent Powers. But all that England has conquered is de finitively annexed to her Empire. His BRITANNIC MAJESTY commands in Indostan as he does in Ire land. He has not contented himself with organizing "new States, nor with making Allies of them. France has often seemed to fight for foreign- interest, but England has always made war for her own account; and has dire&ly appropriated to herself all the pro fits of it. In fine, in the state to which she has re duced the Navy . and Trade of other Nations, it is happy that the energy of a single one 'should have preserved the counterpoise which the blindness of several Sovereigns tended to destroy." FROM THE PUBLICISTS OF SEPTEMBER 27. "The KING of PRUSSIA is one of the honestest men of his Court. Be is well aware of the true'in , . terests of his Country : he. !oyes and desireS Peace with prance; but unfortunately among those who dirta its,-affairs, it is not him who possesses the most weight. M. Dc HAMGWITZ wishes for Peace with ,France, buthe wants energy of mind to resist his adversaries. M. 1,01111A.R11 also wishes tar• he 4 too enlightened not to see the dangers of a aange system ; "butliis - tftdit is limited, of cause his funaitms are only - exercised direelly with the King. The Duke of BatriCSWICK, General MOLLENtkORFF, and many other Generals. are anxi ous for Peace, but they do not ge their wishes in a .proportionate degree to their inclinations.=, These men, such as we have describe_!them, havd DO weight whatsoever: " We have been tempted in this view of things to ask . of our Travellers, who then in Prussia wants . to go to War ? We mast, replies he ; in the first place, put at the head of the War Faclion the Queen, an amiable, and even a beautiful woman, but light arid inconsiderate, who thinks herself much more cle ver than her husband, and who is urged on .in her obje&s, by, her relations, and perhaps by her attach- meat to Russia. Almost all the Ladies of the Court are in a delirium at the recolleCtion of the Emperor ALEXANDER ; and, animated by the - example of their Queen, are ardent upon the -subje& of War. " Vvre must flso take into - the account the young__ military men, who, wearied of their insignificance, and discontented with their wretched pay, hope every thing from the ,fortune of War. Let the Party of England also not be forgotten, which the misunderstanding between the two Countries lies not ,prevented from making its way into the mid- - dling,circles, and almost -universally throughout the Country. " This information, if corre6t, gives room for some observations. What personage in France was the first cause of the Revolution ? What-other at. Naples . has just been, the cause of the ruin of her House? What other, in fine, at Lond on , i s th e principal cause 'of the continuation .of the War ?—This i nconstant - and' light sex, as 'capable -of prepossessions' and passions as they are little susceptible of calculation, do not see the abyss before they be on the brink of • it : then they weep, they sigh : but, in political con tests, tears are feeble arms. If,, as our traveller atfirms, the Queen of Pflussta, be at the head Of the War Party, we fear we may foretell that her fine eyes will shortly melt into tears. • " Such then is the spe&aele which Prussia eXhi-, bits—a Queen, young, and handsome, who onglit to be an angel of conciliation an of peace, is an agent of discord and of war:--a King,-replete with w:s , :lOtri and probity, does not display theTt:soluthin of a ittthil. narch—an enlightened Prime Ailinster . is a -SerV,llit destitute of courtge. -In fine, a pw.vertnl Monarch . y is itself digging the abyss which is going to swallow it up . .

A few days since a large oblong British or Danish Barrow was opened in the Parish of Duntesbournts Abbots, in Gloucestershire.; in which was founds Kistraen or Cromlech, containing abouee;ght ornine bodies of different ages, many of the bones of which, and the teeth, were entire. The whole length of the Barrow, diagonally, was' about fifty .yards ; straight over the stones about forty ; the width about thirty yards; and the distance between the two great stones, twenty-four feet. The Barrow was composed of loose quarry-stones, laid in strata near the great stones, and brought from a distance. The largest stone, which has been long known in the country by the name of the Hare-stone, is of the kind of Grey Withers, or Stone-Henge : it is flat on the East side, and round on the side which is in the Barrow ; is twelve feet high from the base, and fifteen in. circumference. The other stone lies almost flat on the ground, and is about three yards square, and one foot thick. This covers the Kilraen which contains the bones, and which is divided ihto two cells, about four feet square each, and six deep. There is little doubt of its being British ; and it may be called the early Altar, or Family monument. There are several other Barrows in the neighbourhood ; and it is singular that the farm adjoining is called Tack Barrows, probably a cor ruption or abbreviation of some other name. The bones are re-buried ; but the Barrow and the Tomb will be left open some time longer, for the inspec tion of the Curious. Farm or Forrif.—=-A work, in the highest degree curious and important, is now under contemplation. It is a tunnel, or subterr4neous communication, under the Flith of F►rth ! to be formed at a little distance from Queen's-ferry.

The above, as a proje&, compared to the intended tunnel under the Thames, is as " Ossa to a wart."
