It appear!, by the Vienna Gazette,
that the Empress of Russia, having
had fufficient proofs, that the Turks,
ioftigated by the French, -had made
every possible preparation for attack
ing her dominions, had resolved to
anticipate them, and for this purpose,
after pubtifhiog a Manifeflo, declara
tory of her motive, gave orders to
three different armies, of 50,000 men
each, to march against some of the
fortreffes on the frontiers of Yurkey.
It is (aid, that the forffefs of Choc

Some difficulties had arisen between

1 Capture of Sir Syds, Smi/b.
Sir Sydney Smith, of the Dia
mond frig-xe his been captured iu Ha
vre harbor by the French— -The fol
lowing particulars, arc from an officer
of the frigate, dated
OFF BRIGHTON.
On the 18'h infl. in the afternoon,
Sir Sydney Smith ordered five boats
belonging to the mips of his kpad
ron to be manned, and he Burdett
embarked on board one of there, to recon
noitre the harbor ofHavre de Grace, and to
obtain certain information which he wanted
to procure. In this service, after a smart
engagement, he captured a French lugger
of 18 guns, on board of which Sir Sydney
Smith went. It falling a calm soon after,
. and a flood tide, Sir Si dney could not get
out to sea ; and accordingly dropped anchor
in Havre Roads. After dark, one of the
French prisoners took an opportunity to cut
the cable of the lugger, ' on which the drifted
up the harbor into the mouth of the river
Seine. ~ On the morning of the 19th, the
hugger was attacked by a French brig of 14
guns, and five gun boats, which the Govern
or had fentent. An engagement of 40 min
utes ensued, when Sir Sydney Smith was o
bliged to strike to this fupcrior force. Him
felf, his officers and men, to the number of
32, were sent on shore at Havre.
" The officers on board the Diamond frig
ate, on hearing of the capture of Sit Syd
ney Smith, lent a flag oftruce into Havre,
to enquire whether he was wounded ; hop
ing he would be treated kindly. To this
the Governor of Havre, returned for an
swer, that Sir Sidney was well, and would be
treated with humanity.
" We are happy to add, that only 4 Brit
ifli seamen were killed, and one officer and
fix seamen (lightly wounded.
''The seamen were immediately thrown
into prison on their landing ; and Sir Syd
ney underwent a long examination before
the French Commandant, after which he
was ordered to be conveyed under a strong
escort, to Paris."
Capture of French Convoy.
APRIL 23.
By the arrival of the Argo, of 44. guns,
one of Sir Edward Pellew's fqnadroo, at
Plymouth, intelligence is brought of the
capture of La Unite French frigate, of 40
guns, by the Concorde of 36 guns; Capt.
Hunt, likewise on, of Sir Edward's squad
ron, after a severe adion, in which the ene
my had 36, men killed and wounded—but
happily from superior (kill and management,
not a single man was cither killed or wound
ed on board the British (hip.
- [Here follows an extract of a letter, from
on board the La Pomaae, at sea, April 7th,
giving an account of the capture of 4 other
French vessels, laden with wheat and flour,
which were sent into Falmouth—Alfo, an
other vessel—making in alh6, that were
captured by the above fleet within a month.]
The causes of the present diftreft,
as assigned by the gentlemen of the
committee appointed to hold a con
ference with the Miniver on the fub
je& of the alarming scarcity of mon
ey are fitted to be four in number:
1. The advance! made by the
bank to government, amounting,in
all to mote than fourteen million!.
2. The drain of Specie out of the
kingdom, io confluence of the ex
change being against us to every cor
ner of the world.
3. The monopolies of almost ev-.
er, ancle of the firft necessity, and
particularly of grain.
^4,<(The (peculation in the fund!,
to an unexampled amount, which
drew within iti vortex all the floating
money.
Almost every banking house in
Paria has become bankrupt, in coofe
queoce of the Executive Dnedory
forcing them to take their paper
money.•

Gffion of all tlie dependencies of St. Lucia,

The Weftern Posts.
From the frwttten, via Albany—A gentleman
who left Niagara the 15th ult informs, that
every preparation was making by the British
for evacuating the^arrifons, Nopermits for
\ goods & other things had beet for fomlu
rime given by the governor, they being go
soon to become unnecessary ; In consequence
of which no boats, excepting tbofe with fam
ily g o °ds, pass in ; and those already there
are remaining for the free iritercourfe before
they return. The gentleman who orings
this intelligence, came in a dispatch boat to
Oiwego, which bro't orders for the troops
there to be in readiness to embark on board
the gun boats from Kingston, ordered td re
ceiv^them.
At York, a town on the head of Lake On

A Dr. Hildreth, of Deerfield, N. H. has

Though well executed they may easily be de

whereas in the true ones, it does not reach
more than half way.
