According to letters from Warsaw they are every
day in expectation that a battle will be heard of
between the Turks and Ruffians, the two armies
drawing very near each other in the neighbourhood
of Bender: Ihe Ruffian Generals, wherever they
arrive, have published manifeflos, that every article
furnished for the troops will be paid with the greatest
punctuality; that the Empress takes on herfelf the
protection of all places avhere the armies are, and
that the inhabitants will by no means be plundered,
but be permitted to enjoy all their rights, pri'vi
leg's, &c. nor will they be constrained to serve in
the armies of the Empress, provided they deliver
up all arms and weapo s of offence.

Sept. 27. Lord Northington, has repeatedly gi
ven it as his opinion, that disturbances of a very ft ri.
ous nature will break out in Ireland; that the spirit
of independence riles every day; and the most
alarming determination of the people, that no arts
of government shall be praCtifed in the hoafe of
commons to make that body ad in contradiction to
the sentiments of the associated corps.
Extras of a letter from Cadiz, Sept. 3.
cc On theist inffant entered this port, the San
Florentine of 60, and the Fiorenza of 40 guns,
part of commodore Barcelo's squadron, which went
to bombard Algiers ; the rest of the squadron are.
as we learn, fife at Malaga, whe ? e tliey will be
laid up. The Florentine is damaged in all her masts,
by the fire from the forts, so that they mnft be
changed; on board this ship 46 men were killed,
and 13 wounded, some of them dangerously. The
Fiorenza loft her bowsprit and has several shot in
her hull. her loss is 24 men killed and 40 wounded.
The commanders lay great part of the blame of the
11, success of this expedition (though the batteries
of the Barbarians were very strong and well served)
to the ignorance of the pilots, who had so little
knowledge of the coast, that the ffiips lay fully ex
posed to the land cannoneers, though it is believed
they might have gone in so as to have laid in fafety
out of the reach of their fliot, at least the bombs
and gun boats. Such has been the ill success of
this project, that this way of fettling matters is
wholly at an end, at least for the present, though
there are four men of war left cruizing, who are to
take up all flips of war going in or coming out."
In the Irilh papers there are several extracts
from a pamphlet said to be written by order of the
Court of Portugal, and published in Holland with
a french translation. This pamphlet consists sub
stantially of a detail of what is termed the insincere
proceedings of the Court of London with that of
Portugal in mattersof commercial interest. The piece
has been circulated with great fuccels in Holland;
and an English translation of it has been read in Ire
land with extreme avidity.
