est, not in competition with the public
good, but in a way calculated most di
rectly' and extensively' to promote it.—
Of all those engaged in this kind of ty
pographical enterprise, we consider it a
matter of justice to Mr. M. Carey, of
this city, to remark, thatjhis exertions,
have by tar surpassed those of any other
individual. At a very heavy expense he
has procured more than fifteen tons of
type, which are kept constantly' stand
ing, ready for a complete edition of the
quarto and school Bible. Under these
circumstances he possesses numerous
advantages over any other publisher of
the Bible in the United States; and we
believe his to be the only'standing edition
of the quarto Bible, in this or anv other
country. This plan, while it is highly
expensive to the publisher, gives to the
public the greatest security that can pos
sibly be given for the fidelity and accu
ral'of his editions. [Her. Min."]

Vienna, April 2.
The Court Gazette of yesterday con
tains the following article relative to
Turkey:
“ Admiral Duckworth having passed
nine days before Constantinople, and the
negociations between his Britanrdck
majesty:s ambassador Arhuthnot and
the Porte having been broken off, the
English fleet put to sea suddenly on the
morning of the 1st of March, and di
rected its course by a northerly breeze
towards the upper Dardanelles, as if
wishing to gain the Black sea,but sudden
ly shifting, made sail for the Marmora.
The Turkish fleet, which is returned
from the Bosphorus, joined the newlv
cquipt vessels which were in the arsenal
of Tophonia, and is gone in pursuit of
•he English squadron, to the number of
from 15 to 20, under the orders of the
captain Pacha. The crew are almost
entirely composed of Janissaries.
This is all the Aulick Gazette has pub
lished to tliis day ; hut private letters
give later intelligence. One of these,
which has been received at abanking
liOiise, is expressed in the following
terms.
“ The English fleet, intimidated by
the formidable preparations of the Porte,
which had been directed by general Se
bastiani, ambassador of France, warm
ly seconded by the French officers, and
. ■*
by several Spanish officers, quitted on
the 1st of March its station before Con
stantinople, for the purpose of returning
to the Archipelago. It repassed the
lower Dardanelles on the 2d of March,
and appears to be on a new cruise on
the coast of Tencdos,
‘ Adm. Duckworth doubtless thought
that his position would become very
critical on the sea of Mamora, should he
give time to the Turks to cut off all di
rect communication with England, and
the rest of the fleet in the Mediterrane
an, and, in truth, the forts of the Darda
nelles could have been put at any mo
ment in the best state of defence, and the
total want of troops to make a debarka
tion would not have permitted him to
make even the smallest attack on any
one of these forts to facilitate his pas
sage. i
“ Two French officers of rank have
departed for the Dardanelles, to fortify
the coast of Asia, whilst others are em
ployed in fortifying that of Europe.—
The Grand Seignior has requested Ge
neral Sebastiani to fortify equally the
Bosphorus on the side of Pont Euxine,
the dispositions for which are already
completed.
April 12.
The impediments which the English
throw in the way of our trade and the
navigation of our ships in the Adriatic,
having excited the attention of our go
vernment, it is asserted that very seri
ous representations have been made up
on this subject to the British cabinet,
and that several conferences have been
held upon it between courit Stadion and
Mr. Adair, the English ambassador.
Constantinople, March 11.
Firmans have been sent to all the Bar
bary Regencies, charging them to send
i out their cruisers against the English
merchantmen. Another measure which
must press severely on trade, is the ge
I neral decree adopted both in the Otto
man and Persian states, not only against
English merchandise butagainstthe En
glish factories. Every thing that is En
glish is ordered to be confiscated in both
empires. .
Aleppo, March 1.
The Persians make a common cause
with the Turks, and attack at once the
Russians and the English. All the En
glish factories have been seized, and the
correspondence from England with the
E \st Indies by the way of Persia, must
$t this moment be stopped..•
Melmo, April Y.
Dispatches were yesterday received,
from the governor of Pomerania, an
nouncing the retreat of the French from
thence. The Swedish troops followed
them closely, and annoyed them much..
The French abandoned their batteries
and intrenchments before Stralsund_
A combat took place at Lussow, at Su
derhagen, and at Voiglehagen. The.
Swedes took possession of Loitz and
Griswald, on the 2d of April, on the 3dr
of Dominieh, and of Anclam. At the
latter place 1995 Fredericks d’ors, and
3000 crowns, belonging to the French
military chest, were taken. In the other
places a quantity of arms & stores were,
captured. 1000 French soldiers and
20 officers were taken; among the latter -
a French colonel.
Banks of the Elbe, April 17.
The news of a British army coming in- -
to this river has excited the most san
guine expectations among all classes of ‘
inhabitants, 8c an equal degree ofdismay
among the Dutch troops,among whom a
spirit of discontent and mutiny has late
ly prevailed, particularly the day before
yesterday, when several detachments
were marched from Hamburgh, on the
way to Lubeck for the defence of that ci
ty, whose Governor and garrison hourly •
feared to be attacked by a corps of victo
rious Swedes, of whom scouring parties
of horse were seen near Bergedorff a few
nights ago. On this account most of the
Dutch at Hamburgh were ordered to •
march to that little town, situated half
way between the former town and Lu
beck. On this occasion many of the sol
diers openly mutinied, swore they would
throw away their arms, 8c go over to the
Swedes or the Prussians. The mutiny
grew so serious that some actually threw
down their arms, and waving their hats
high in the air, called aloud,u Long live
the Kings of Sweden and Prussia/ Wc
wont fight without pay I We wont fight
against our friends /” It was found ne
cessary to employ martial law against
some of the rioters, who were sent off ti
ed on waggons, and several of them have
since that been tried by a council of war
ancl shot.
In different parts of Pomerania, and the
Dutchy of Mecklenburgh, the Dutch
threw down their arms at the approach
of the Swedes,tk surrendered themselves
prisoners. Besides Rostock,the Swedes
had also taken Prentzlaw, at a small dis- -
i banco from Stettin, to which phisc 2V0Q -
