A Journal has announced a project
more vafl than any we have hitherto
,heard mentioned—a project which, if
realized, mull change the the whole po
litical face of the universe. It is said it
is in contemplation to establish the feat
of the Ruffian Empire at Constantinople,
under the name of the Greek Empire,
and that this is to be done with the cone
currence of the French ; who will afters
wards, in concert with the Ruffians, trav
erse Asia, and destroy the English em
pire in India.
It. is more than a month since this
plan was imparted to us, but it appear
ed so romantic that we did not think
proper to repeat it ; since, howayer, it
it has been brought forward in refpe&-
able Journals, we think it proper to men
tion it, though it were only ^ro memoria.

A plan is laid to be in agitation be
tween Russia, Austria, and France, for
dismembering the Turkish Empire in
Europe.
Flour in England is 120 s. the sack.
Partial disturbances have arisen in some
parts of the country from the high price
of provisions and the wretched situation
of the poor.
It is reported that the Emperor of
Russia had given orders to his cruisers,
to bring in all neutral vessels, bound to
British ports.
Orders have been issued to capture
and fend in'all Prussian vessels ; and the
Hoffong, from Bilboa to embden, with
wool, was carried into Portsmouth by
the Sheerness armed cutter on the 2d
March, by virtue of those orders.
London, March 2. Letters from As
cre state that the most a&ive preparations
were making for the debarkation and
march of the troops under the orders of
Sir R. Abercrombie.
In consequence of the strength of the
enemy's works at Alexandria, Rosetta,
and Damietta, we understand the army
was to land at Acre, and in company
with the Turks to march across the Des
fart for Cairo. Thirty thousand cans
teens for the carriage of water, and a
proportionate supply of provisions had
been colle&ed. &;
None of the horses intended to mount
dragoons had arrived from Conftantinos
ple ; neither was the note of Gen.
Tamara, for restraining the expedition,
known at the camp. The British corns
miffary at Sigoraa had collected an exs
traordinary number of bullocks.
Mfollaneous Paragraphs.
; In consequence of the progress made
by the French towards their eftablifh#
ment in Egypt, the armed association
at Bombay has been considerably in^
creased.
Glasgow, March 3. The second report
from the committe of the house of corns
mons proposes, that 12,000!. be given as
premiums among proprietors and occu
piers of land, for the greatest number of
acres cultivated with potatoes, on ground
which had not been used as potatoe of
hop ground, or yielded any arable crop
during the last seven years ; that 13,000!.
be given in England and Wales, and
three thousand in Scotland, to the cot
tagers, for the greatest quantity of potas
toes raised on ground in their own pos
session ; and that 3 0001. be granted to
the board of agriculture, for the purpose
of granting honorary premiums to such
owners or occupiers of land, as- shall,
this year, allot the greatest quantities of
land among cottagers, to be planted with
potatoes, in portions of not more than
three fourths, nor less than one fourth
of a rood.
Bayonne, Feb., 16. We this moment
have received from Madrid the import#
ant intelligence, that Spain had just de
clared war against Portugal : It is prob#
able the Portuguese Government waited
for this formal declaration before it no
tified to its guests (the English) the ne
cessity of evacuating the Portuguese ter
ritory ; the latter have already begun
to. move off, and the greater part of their
troops are already arrived at Minorca.
VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
The citizen Faujas adminiflrator of
the Museum, has found in the depart!
ment of L'Ardethe a foffil flour, like
that which Frabboni assayed in Tuscany.
The minister of marine has charged this
learned man to make new researches ;
he has difeovered four leagues from the
Rhone, a confideiable bed of this earth
in a place which is very acceffable ; the
bricks which we formed of it swim on
the furface of the water, like those of
Tuscany, This difeovery is precious
for the conftrudion of the magazines of
vessels of war, for magazines of spiritu
ous liquors, kitchen chimnies, &c. An
experiment was made on an old veffel,'
in which a vaulted chamber was com
ftruded, which w^ filled with powder,
it was then covered over with combufti#
ble matter, which was set on fire ; the
vessel burnt to she water's edge, and then
funk, without the powder's taking fire.
Paris, -Feb. 25. We are informed from
Vienna, that the demand made to grant
a passage to a French army through the
hereditary dates to attack Turkey, ex
perienced at firft some difficulties ; but
that all obstacles are now removed, and
that the advanced guard, amounting to
18,000, will file off in about a month.
The Polish legion will form part of it.
Vienna, Feb.,. Heavy artillery con
tinues to be sent to Prefburgh, thence to
the frontiers of Turkey, from which cir
cumstance some politicians conclude,
that a new war may soon be expelled
to commence, though others merely con
fider these measures as adopted from
precaution against the rebels in Turkey.
PHILADELPHIA, April io.
Extraß of a letter from Mr. Samuel D. Earle, Ju,er
cargo of the brig Sophia, Ca,t. Talbot, to bis owoer
in this city, dated Port Royal, Feb. 20, 1801.
" It is with infinite regret I now inform
you of our being captured on the 16th
inst. on our passage to the Mififfippi, by
the Britilh sloop of war Bonetta, Capt.
Maughn, and ordered for this port, un^
der pretence of having no register, as
Capt. Maughn fays he has orders to take
all vessels failing under fea-lettters. Cap
tain Talbot and myfelf were detained on
board the sloop of war 18 hours, during
which Capt. Maughn expressed himfelf
in the most unbecoming language, tell
ing me that I had forged the signature of
Mr. Henry Hammond, American Con
sul at Cape Francois, who had certified
my bills of lading. He also said he would
venture to swear that both vessel and car
go were French property, for that the'
proof of property before Clement Bee

Within these few days, nearly 14,000
barrels of floury besides a considerable
quantity of wheat, from Poland, have
arrived at Liverpool.

Cork, Feb. 23.
The enormous price of provisions, and partic
ularly potatoes, added to the general ftagaation
of trade, have reduced the poor to a state of dis
tress and want hitherto unprecedented. It is an
unfortunate and literal truth, that several
are daily perishing in the streets, trho°
misery and want of sustenance. With
in these few days, two large woolen fac
tories in this neighborhood have been
obliged to discharge above 150 work
men, nor can those handicrafts and me
chanics who remain in employ, with the
utmost exertion of diligent labour, earn
a fufficiency to purchase the necessaries
of life for their families.
This morning the people collected a^
gain to the amount of about a thousand;
and after parading various streets to dis
play their misery to the (lore holders, re
paired to the Mayor's house, where Gen.
Myers, with many of the principle men
in office, were assembled. A deputation
of twelve men entered, and in a submis
sive way, dated their grievance, declar
ing at the fame time, that their intentions
were in no refpe& riotous or disorderly.
The General assured them, that every
possible measure should be taken to have
the public market supplied ; and they
withdrew in perfed order, relying on
these expectations. The shops were
not shut, nor was the fmallefl violence
pra&ifed upon any individual.
The general situation of affairs in this
kingdom, particularly in the South, of
which the above is only a flight speci
men. seems to call most loudly for the
interferance of the imperial Legislature,
to which the unhappy people of the filler
isle are now naturally led to look for ad#
equate protection and relief.
Dublin, Feb, 28. The report of the
death of the celebrated Dr. Herschel is
