The report of the alliance between France &
the Ottoman Porte seems fully confirmed. For
feme time part it is well known that the intrigues
of France, and the influence of Russia, have es
tranged or intimidated the Turkish government
from an alliance with this country. The death
of Paul I. was expected to clear up all these dif
ficulties ; but the profpea is not now so flatter
ing as it at firft appeared. Query — Wat there
time to bear the ffea of Paul s death ora the Ottoman
Cabinet ?

Lord St. Helens is appointed Ambassador to
the Court nf St. Petersburg ; where it is expos

rably calculated for court intrigue—and Bona
parte will omit no means to gain an afcendency
into the cabinet of Russia; but that Frenchman
must possess wonderful abilities, indeed, who, in
a political contest of the nature now described,
can surpass the patient, active and persevering
qualities of Lord St. Helens.

Particulars of the unnatural death ofthe
Emperor Paul.
ALTONA, APRIL 21.
Ihconfequence of the last arrival of letters
from Russia, which are no longer opened, it is
averted that the late Emperor Paul I, died an
unnaturakdeath!
The circumrtancesare variously related, but the
-following is the account mort generally credited.
A few days before hit death, Paul 1. sent to
his Senate two Ukases, desiring them to pass
and infect them in the Code of Laws. The ob
ject of those Decrees, was to banish the now
Empress Dowager and her children to Siberia,
with the exception of the Grand Duke Constan
tine Paulowitch, the Emperor's favorite. De
crees so barbarous and unnatural, revolted the
feelings of the Senate to such a degree, that it
was resolved unanimously to declare the Empe
ror non compos mentis, to compel him to abdicate
the Throne, and to keep him in fafe custody in
some fortrefs for the remainder of his life.—
At the fame time it was agreed upon to pro
claim bis eldest son Alexander I. as his Succef
-for, making him £gn previously the Ukases
which have since appeared, and exacting a pro
,mifc that he Ihouldgovern the Umpire accord
ing to the spirit of the laws enabled by .his
Grand-mother Catharine the Great
Paul appeared as usual in the Senate in expec
tation of,finding the ratification of his mandates;
but instead of that, the aCt of Abdication was
proposed to him for his signature. Inflamed
^ ith rage;he loaded the Senate with execrations,
was going to attack fome-of the Members with
lavage ferocity, -when he was forcibly -reftrain
cd, and fuffocated in the feuffle. Some reports
fay, that one of the Senators, during the flrug
gle, came behind, and Strangled him with a
cord.
Alexander, the new Emperor, was immediate
ly called, and acquainted with the cause of his
father's death, and his cruel decree&againft him
felf, mother and family. After some hesitation,
Alexander ' figned' the infirumenfs and writings
laidbeforc him, and was proclaimed— Emperor
of all the Rufias,
" A commifTion, composed of honeft,intelligent
men, is established to receive these gifts and ren
der them as ufeful as possible. Our nation is
distinguished for humanity as well as courage—
It appears to be elevated far above the narrow
views of feif-intereft, so difgraceful to any na
tion,yet which may often be reproached with it
even in the midst of diftrcls. But in this union
of generous sentiments among our countrymen,
we find motives to alleviate the loss of our brave
brothers in arms, whose courage has saved their
country !"
" The English admirals, officially informed
•of the death of their enemy whom they mor
tally hated,will be embarrassed, and many sup
pose they will receive new inftrudtions before
they enter the Baltic. If they are guided by
just views, they will take no other part ; but it
is difficult to fay what men, more aecuftomed to
fight than to judge of the true interests of na
tions, will do. We have no reason to believe
they will change their plans, and we wait with
impatience to fee what effect the important
news of the death of Paul will have on the
Chiefs of the English fleet.
" Our hospitals are tilled with wounded—no
pains are spared to relieve and sooth them; par
ticularly the widows and children of those who
so gloriously fell in the battle of the 2d. Sub
scriptions for this purpose are made to a large
amount. One individual has Lubferibed 10,000
crowns.

Cabinet, and has formed a treaty with the Ot
toman Porte
^^bari/'h particulars of their late
April.
" FROM the memorable ad to the Bth of
this month, we were in a Rate of uncertainty,
the more painful, as the temporary suspension of
arms (under the security of which the English
Admirals and Danes, held conference) was but
little known to the public,'afid a renewal of hos
tilities every moment expected. Lord Nelson
frequently repaired to the head quarters of
the Prince Royal; and we began to augur fa
vorably from these conferences, which the com
manders of the English fleets too eagerly en
couraged ; not to believe that they iincercly
wished to end a struggle, the fury of which had
been as ruinous to their (hips as dedrudlive to
our men., If we had consulted only public opin
ion and the martial ardor which animated the
inhabitants of our capital, the contest might
have continued; every one was inflamed with a
desire to combat, and to avenge their brothers
who fell in the bloody battle of the 2d. But
our government too wife and humane to be car
ried away by the impulse of the moment,liftcn
ed to the propositions made to it ; thofc for a
conclusion of a peace, however advantageous
to Denmark, which the English admirals offer
ed us, could not be accepted without a violation
of our engagements with our allies,and our gov
ernment constantly rejected evety proposition
of this kind. There was no other part to take,
but to agree upon an armistice, which might af
ford an opportunity of explaining with England,
and making peace on just and honorable terms.
“ Lord Nelson ahvays'penetrated with the
bravery of our countrymen, applied himfelf to
the negotiation with all the good will and facili
ty which his inflrudlidns would permit; per
haps, in reducing himfelf to an armistice, ex
ceeded them. But his critical Gtuation, the ru
inous state of many of his vessels, the immova
ble determination of the Danes, to devote them
selves to death, rather than to submit to dishon
orable terms, induced Lord Nelson, to adopt the
armistice which was concluded the Bth of this
month, and ratified by admiral Parker on the
9th " .;.:
" This armistice was concluded with mutual
franknefs and good faith. The Prince Royal,
who so well distinguishes between a ferocious
enemy and a brave warrior, has (hewn the hero
of the British navy,all the reaped due to his va
lor and brilliant reputation. Hehas more than
once dined with him, and in conversation both
have given proofs of mutual esteem. An ar
mistice, concluded under such aufpicies, affurcs
us of a happy issue ; and what increases the pro
bability of our conjectures is that at the moment
Os the conclusion of the truce, we were inform
ed by an fafette of the death of the Emperor
Paull. This event caused a sensation here which
it is more easy to conceive than to paint. Every
one is busy in his own corijeClufes ; but intelli
gent men think there will be a (triking contrail
between the mild and amiable virtues of the
new Emperor, and thefevere character and hu
mor of his father. They allot a pacific system
to Alexander I.—and we are more encouraged
to hope from one of his firft steps, the fending a
courier to the Court of London to notify it of his
advancement to the throne ; that he will make
the evils of war cease, and restore the tranquili
ty of the North as the firft beneficent aft of his
reign.
Affairs <with the English.
We believe it is now fettled that Lord
Whitworth ihall go as Ambassador to
St Peterfburgh, and that Lord St He
ens ihall be Plenipotentiary at Paris, in
the event of a right understanding Be
tween our Ministers and the Chief Con
sul of France refpeding the grounds of
a negotiation.
Private accounts from Paris state,
that the utmost discontent prevailed
there at the condud of Rear Admiral
Gantheaume, in consequence of his not
having persisted in his attempt to get to
Egypt Upon the intelligence being
received of his having put into Toulon,
Bonaparte sent off a Courier immedi
ately, ordering him to put to sea the
moment be received these orders. Gan
theav.me did not obey till some days af
terwards (the 19th ult.) alledging the
bad condition of his Ships, and the dam
age; they had sustained in the voyage
from Brest ; and requeued an examin
ation into hisconduti.—lt was reported
at Paris, when The accountwas brought,
that Gantheaume had returned to Tou
lon, which he did two or 3 days after his
failing, that the Chief Consul had imme
diately superseded him by the appoint
mentof Adniiral Bruix to the command.
Sir John Warren failed from Naples
on the 19th, the day Ganthcaume left
Toulon, and was cruising for .him off
Sardinia.
We flat'ter our Lives that the mea
sures of the Emperor of Russia, will
prevent the effution of blood'in the Bal
tic, and speedily re-establish us in cur
former situation there, with refped to
commerce and Navigation. We regret,
however, that it is not yet in dur pow
er to announce the removal of the em
bargo. As we have already Hated, this
measure being in its nature reciprocal,
it was naturally to he expected that
they would wait in Russia for news from
England on this point.
Sir William Scott, yesterday brought
forward a motion, in the House of
Commons, for the better regulation of
his Majesty's Prize Courts in the Weft-
Indies, &c. which after some conside
rable conversation in favor of it, and
being seconded by the -Chancellor of the
Exchequer, was accepted, and leave gi
ven to bring in a bill, Mr. Scott ob
served, that it was of the highest im
portance, to the interest and chara^er
of Great Britain, that some alteration
should take place in the nature of the
jurifdi&ions, and that instead of the
numerous Courts now existing, there
should be but three, one in Jamaica,
one in Martinique, and one at Halifax ;
& that the Judges instead of depending
on the quantity of business for their
profits, should be placed, by liberal sal
aries, together with the Registers and
other officers, beyond the reach of cor
ruption. In proof of the iniquitous
conduct pra&ifed in these islands, it was
remarked, that out of 318 cases, not a
bove 35 had been confirmed by the
court of appeals in England. Mr.
Nichols suggested the necessity of pro
viding, that no one who had not taken
a degree in eur courts of civil law, or
been admitted to the Bar in the English
Courts, should preside in those Courts.

IMPORTANT TO AMERICA.
g, Yesterday we were politely favored with
London papers to the 25th April, from a gen
tleman who came passenger in the Brothers, ar
rived at New-York ; but they do not contain
any intelligence of high importance.
£, The negociations between .Great-Britain
& Francehad not ceafcd; but they excited very
little speculation. Both tides were waiting the
birth of events to juftify the pretensions, and
dictate terms. —Egypt, and the .North of Eu
npe, were the quarters in which those events
were expected to be brought forth. Ihe new
Emperor of Russia being rather of a cold consti
tution than otherwise, the influence of Madam
Chevalier has been lessened ; and time was ne
cessary for Buonaparte to substitute male in
trigue and diplomatic skill, for female fafeina
tion; this and the expectation of the En
glish of fuccefc in Bgypt, may account -for the
delay noticed.
0 No event of importance posterior to the
armistice between Denmark and Great-Britain
had taken place in the North. It was said that
Barker's fleet had entered the Baltic, and that
a Swedilh and a Ruffia.fleet were in that sea.—
A considerable degree of warmth exists in Den
mark against Sweden, for its fupinencfs in not
opposing the entrance of the English fleet into
the Sound. The business furnifhes employment
for all the coalition peace-makers. Our ac
counts from thence,by the Sally, from Rotter

they do not mention either of these events as
certain.

The Northern Confederacy, which,
like the gourd of Jonah, grew up in a
night, has apparently withered in as
short a period. Various articles indicate
the dissolution of the compad ; and a
letter from a highly refpedable house
at Amsterdam, dated April 22d, fays,
“ Ey the last mail from Russia it ap
pears, that the differences with the
northern powers are considered as fet
tled."—Notwith Handing this, Admiral
Parker had proceeded into the Baltic
with 16 fail of the line, to put into
execution the remaining part of his in
ftrudions ; and on the 21st April a
messenger was dispatched from Lon
don to Yarmouth, for the Heetvnder
Admiral Totty to fail immediately to
join the Baltic fleet. Previous to Ad
tniial Parker's failing, he received dis
patches from the British Admiralty,
issued in consequence of the intelli
gence of the new order of things in
Russia. Sweden, it is probable is the
next object of the Britiffi ; wherein
great preparations for refinance have
been made. Admiral Nelson was left
to watch the Sound. He was cruising
between Elfineur and Copenhagen.
^From an article, under the Stock

but besides having his word to the
contrary, we have good cause to be
lieve, that the firft important aft of his
reign will be the pacification of the
North of Europe.
VARMOU'TH,APRIL 2u.
" r Hyde Parker, we can now confidently
state has been recalled from the command of the
Baltic Fleet, and I.ord Nelson has been appoint
ed to the chief command. His Lordship had,
we believe, entertained a with to return to'
England ; and accounts from Copenhagen, re
ceived yesterday, state, that he had requeued
Faffpofts from the Court of Denmark for Ham
burg, but we presume the new arrangement
which has been made will change his Lordship's
destination. The St. George, of 98 guns, his
Lordship's Flag ship, was the only line of battle
ship remaining off Copenhagen, after the depart
ure of Sir Hyde Parker for the Baltic, which
took place on the evening of the 16th. Many

From London, April 27—To the Editor.—
" We have not any news, from Russia, since the
account of the action at Copenhagen.—We
know not, of course, what measure the new
Emperor has adopted in consequence of it. Su
gar and coffee are not brifle here—Brandy low
er than it was Flour below the indemnity
price—Rice will probably soon be below it."

property as human exertions could preserve, was
saved. The injury, however, is estimated aty or
6000 dollars. The Harriot and cargo belonged
to Mr. Andrew Leach, who was owner of the
ship Packet, lately wrecked on the Isle of Sa
