Gen. Molitor has given to the Cus-
Itom-House Officers on the rivers (Elbe,
( Weser, and Jade, copies of Imperial
Instructions reflecting vessels having
French Licences. These instructions
contain 11 articles. They prescribe,
that every vessel must have them ;
and must sail from Hamburg; Bremen,
or Lubeck, for Dunkirk, Nantes or
' Bourdeaux— Sixty francs per ton must
ry, and having no legal means of pur
suing their occupations, will avail
themselves of those which are illegal!
Officers employed tp enforce the laws,
so that what little gainful traffic re
mains, is in the most corrupt hands, &
the most grevious severity of distress
falls, with all its weight, upon persons
of the strictest integrity.
" Princes !—Parents of your peo
ple ! —You who hear their groans—
it is you whom our prayers invoke—in
you our hopes seek a refuge—you
will be our intercessors—you will bear
our lamentations to the throne of the
great Napoleon; you will Convey to
his conscientious feelings, that infor
mation concerning our distressed and
critical condi'tion,which, doubtless, has
never yet been fairly laid before him.
With his powerful arm, with his ge
nius, it rests to save us, utterly to put
an end to the restraint under which we
are perishing, and to construct a new
system, in union with the accomplish
ments of his great designs. May you
cojoy the inestimable felicity of reign
ing over subjects, happy, contented,
grateful, loyal and virtuous ! This is the
greatest blessing which we can implore
Heaven to confer upon you."
It is said, the Diet have made choice
of the French Prince of Ponte-Corvo
[Bernadotte] as Crown Prince, or

the choice will be announced the 21st.

Official intelligence has been received,
that on the 10th June, O. S. the Rus
sian Commander in Chief attacked the
Grand Vizier on the heightsof Schum.
}a. After an obstinate resistance, the
Turks were driven under the walls of
the fortress, with the loss of three col
ors. Our right wing having occupied
a height, the Turks made many un
successful efforts to retakeit. On the
lltb they renewed their attack on the
height, but consumed the whole day in
desperate but unavailing efforts.—
General Lewis, and Prince Teubezkoi
formed their troops into hollow squares,
and compelled the enemy to retire to
their entrenchments with loss. Dur
ing the attacks, 5000 horse rushed
upon our left wing, but were repulsed
and driven back upon Schumla. We
have lost 1000 men, and Major-Gen.
Popondopolo, who was killed by a
cannon ball. The enemy's loss was
uncommonly great.
On the 16th June, a change of po
sition by Gen. Zysyrew, near Warria,
occasioned a furious attack on our
troops, who received the eriemy with
the greatest bravery ; and after a hard
fought battle of eight hours, compelled
the Turkish hordes to fly to the fort
ress, with great loss. On the 18th
June, Gen. Lewis took Osburn. On
the 21st Gen. Woinow fell upon a
body of 2000 foraging cavalry, and
obliged them to Uy with the loss of
200 killed, and 3 officers, and 100 pri
vates made prisoners.
On the 23d June, Gen. Kamenskoi
took post on the road leading from
Schumla to Constantinople.
Notwithstanding the accounts from
the army, the Sultan is not dejected,
but every effort is making to reinforce
the Grand Vizier. A fleet of 16 sail of
the line will proceed with all possible
despatch to receive the troops coming
from Asia. CTA Vienna article
mentions, that the Grand Sultan had
Declared the Empire to be in danger,
had hoisted the Standard of Mahom
et, and called upon all the true Mus
sulmen tojly to arms.

says,
" The vessels provided with licences
may proceed direct to their pdrt of des

to be questioned for having been visited
by English men of war or privateers. —
They may land in ariy part of England

think proper, of their cargo, without
being questioned for having touched

Licenced vessels may enter the above
French ports loaded, or in ballast; but
their loading must be of materials of
the North useful to the Marine, or
with such productions of the soil of
Germany and Poland, as are usually
permitted to be imported into France.
They may load out with wines, bran

" Brown's arrival has,'occasioned

taken place in Turke,, in which the

ORLANDO FURIOSO :
TRANSLATED FROM THE ITALIAN OF
Ludovico Ariosto ;
}VITH NOTES.
BY JOHN HOOLE;
BY the praise bestowed, from ever,
quarter, on the execution of the late
first American edition of Tasso's Je
rusalem Delivered, the publishers
of that celebrated work are induced,
once more to solicit the patronage of a
judicious and enlightened publick. In
offering this second, arid superior speci
men of Italian Literature, which pro
cured Ariosto the appellation of
" Divine," perhaps it would not be
amiss, to transcribe the opinions of a
few, whose particular intimacy with
the writings of the author, and whose
celebrity as authors themselves, justl,
entitle them to much respect.
Le Sage gives the following charac
ter of the Poet.

I/TR. WHEELER informs the La
dies and Gentlemen of Exeter,
that he has taken a Room in Centre-
Street, Opposite the Widow Emery's,
for the purpose of Drawing PRO
FILES. Oct. 2%.
" He possesses all the elegance of
language ; his verses are strong and so
norous ; his descriptions admirable and
often sublime. Ariosto, whether se
rious or pleasant, is every where enter
taining, and preserves a degree of ma
jesty even in his pleasantry ; he is the
only author that has found out the art
of blinding the serious with the comic,
and the heroic with the familiar; by
which means he is truly original, and
such an original, as nd one has yet
successfully imitated."
Gravina an Italian critick of great
taste and judgment; after a detail of
some of the author's peculiar and strik
ing beauties; concludes thus.
" But such is the power of Ariosto;
that while his work is perusing, almost
all his blemishes are lost in the multi
tude of his excellencies."
The fallowing is the summary of the
valuable opinion of that celebrated wit
and illustrious cr.tick, Vol air •.
More were unnecessary. The ver
sion by HooLE is in no wise inferior
or to his harmonious and energetick
translation of Tasso's Jerusalem De
livered. There are but a few sets
of the above work to be found in A

will be spared to render the first Amer
icao'edition worthy of such distinguish

not but anticipate the patronage of
the learned and liberal of every class.

“ The Romance of Ariosto is so ex
tensive, so full of variety, so fruitful
in every kind of beauty, that after
having perused it, I have more than
once found my appetite excited to read
it again."
“ The ORLANDO FURIOSO
has a merit altogether unknown to the
writers of antiquity. The poet is,
by turns, moral, pleasant and gallant,
but never departing from truth and na
ture."
