LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.
On the 3d inst. his majesty issued the following
decree from the palace of Trianon ; P
“ i. There shall be one journal in each of the
departments, with the exception of that of the
Seine.
“ 2. This journal shall be under the authority of
the Prefect, and cannot be published but with his
approbation.
“ 3. Nevertheless, the Prefects may provision
ally authorize in.our great cities, the publication of
papers containing advertisements in the nature ,<f
posting-bills, or hand bills, relative to sales of ar
ticles of merchandize and immoveable properly ;
and journals, treating exclusively of literatuie, the
sciences,'" arts, and agriculture. The said publica
tions must contain no articles foreign to their ob
ject.
" 4. Our minister of the Interior shall, oil the
1st of September next, make a report to us upou
the said advertising journals ; the publication of
which may he definitively determined."
Gen. Wouilleinont, commander ot the department
of the Upper Pyrenees, has addressed a letter, of the
4th inst. ot whirh the billowing is an extract, to
the Prefect:—**My position in the valley of Aran
having In en threatened by some troops who bad col
lected in the neighbouring valley of Ksterry, I de
termined to attack them ; and on the night of the
Slstult. I began my match. Nearly the whole of
the advanced guard of the enemy was put to the
sword : merest, after sustaining considerable loss?*
was driven back more than three leagues in the val
ley of listerry.
The Dutch guards are expected on the 2J)th at

Reggio, August 3.
The English appear to be, more than ever, fright
ened at our preparations. They have collected be
I tween Messina and the light-house all the naval
h.rce tilt) have got in theTyreman S a. We. have
lately counted as many as live sail of the line, two
of them 80 gthi ships, anchored in the very straits,
with springs on their cables. Four brigs of war,
and a number of frigates and corvettes, are con
stantly cruizing on the look-out, between Reggio
and Pezzo. But ull these considerable measures of
defence do not quiet the fears of the English mer-.
chants settled at Messina. Their merchandize there
scarcely fetches any price, and loaded vessels are
almost daily leaving it, to go iu<quest of a market
less exposed.
Their excellencies the miaisters of the Interior
and Financt are still at Ileggio.
| ' “ Royal Camp of Pealo, August 5.
“ Our flotilla has, this day, obtained a fresh suc
cess. It ts impossible to conceive the timidity of
the enemy’s flotilla, which though so considerable,
as to force, is daily beaten off by our gun-boats.—
i Since the affair of the 21st July, the English no
longer dare to approach our batteries. They con
tent themselves with sending over, from time to
time, a few bomb vessels, which uniformly sheer
off upon seeing any of our gun-beats standing to
wards them.
“ This morning, bis msjesty having ordered a
junction of the divisiona of Partonneaux and La
marque, the enemy, who observed this movement,
sent forward three bomb vessels to the Strait, sup
ported by 30 gun-boats. His majesty then sent taj
attack them, the division of Bansan and two other
divisions, from the right of our line. At the first
shot, {he bomb vessels put^out, and taok their
shelter in the line of aochurfp> in the rear of their
heavy ships. #ur three divisions, however, conti
nued to advance towards the enemy’s coast, and in
the best order. On their reayhrtig about mid-chan-,
nel, the enemy opened a tremendous fire upon them.
The flotilla was so near, that the balls fell more
than lOO teises a-stemof our gun boats. All the
batteries off the Coast ai Sicjly, played at the same
time op«n them. They in return kept op a steady
and well-directed fire, with this advantage, that not
« shot *»as lost, as every one struck either the bat
teries on shoreor threoemy’s vessels. They aflen
i*ed the fife of all the enemy’s gun boats, though two
|friga|e* \ttok partly thu aciUui. %’be enemy must
certainly have suffered much, for we saw several of
their gu* boats coasiiersbly damaged, tad takas

Berlin, August S.
The ci dcvanl King of Sweden has not made his
appearance at Berlin. It is nut ^ven certain thatjjie
came this way. It is said that he took a circuitous
route to th- banks of the Oder, whence he directed
his course towards Dantzir, from which place he
proceeds to Koniogsberg, and thence into Russia
through Courland. N»ue of the princes or great
officers of state in the Prussian territories saw him
on his passage.
The repott is revived that his majesty has come
to a resolution of effecting * reduction in his army,
foe king, it is said, will disband about 20,000 men;
thus leaving on fool a force of only 20,000, which,
joined to the national guards, whose services will
lie fully sufficient for the duty of the interior of the
country.
TURKS AND RUSSIANS.
St. Peteiinscbgii, July 25.
The supplement of the Coart Gazette of this day,
contains the following intelligence respecting the
engagement with the Grand Vizier :
“ On the 11th of June, old style, the command
er in chief of the force* on the other side of the Da
nube, attacked, with the army under his command,
the troops ol the Grand Vizier, who were encamp
ed on the heights ot Schumla. After an obstinate
resistance, the enemy were driven from the woods
and heights, and compelled to retire undei the walls
ot the fortress, with the loss of three stand of co
lours. The right wing of our army possessed itself
of a height covered with a thick brake of briars,
which being close to the Turkish entrenchments,
seriously menaced them. The Turks did not desist
until the approach of night, from their efforts to re
gain possession of this height.
“ Oo the 12th of June, the Turks made anew
Httack upon the height with the greater part of their
lorce. Lieul. gen. Lewis formed a grand hollow
square on the right, and posted the troops under
adjutant general Prince Teubezkoi, in two hollow
squares un the left. The enemy Consumed the whole
of the day in repeated and desperate efforts to break
our square oti the left, incessantly supporting his
troops with Ircsh reinforcements, and the fire on
both sides was tremendous; but the victorious
troops of bis imperial majesty frustrated all these
efforts with distinguished gallantry, defeating the
enemy, and compelling him to retire within his en
trenrhntents with considerable loss.
“ The centre and left wing of our army, which
could undertake nothing of importance against the
Turkish entrenchments, which were strongly forti
fied, made vorious movements in advanre, occasi
aimlly fiiiug with their artillery upon the town, as
they proceeded; but nothing could divert the ene
my from his attacks on our right wing. About 3
o’clock in the alternoon a body of Turkish cavalry,
nejily 5W00 strong, rushed out of the fortress, and
a part ot them charged our left wing in front, while
the rest endeavoured to turn it; but by the well di
'recud fire of our artillery, and a successful charge
of our cavalry, they weie twice defeated, and driv
en bark upon Schumla.
“ Our loss amounts to 1000 men, and (• the re
gret of the whole army we have among them lost
the highly esteemed ancLexperienred major genera!
Popondopolo, who fell on the first day by a cannon
ball. The loss of the enemy must have been uncom
monly great.
“ On the ifith of June, major general Zysrew,
pursuant to orders from the commander in chief, had
to change the position of the troops belonging to
bis detachment, to watch, not only Warna, but al
so the coasts of the Black Sta, upon which three of
the enemy’s vessels of war had arrived. This
movement could not he ronrealed from the enemy.
Six thousand of them made a sally from the for
tress and furiously attacked our troops, who, howe
ver, instantly took up advantageous positions on
the heights, and received the enemy with the great
est bravery. This hard fought action lasted from
three in the morning until i 1 o’clock; but after
the failure of all their attacks, with great loss, the
remains of the Turkish hoides betook themselves to
flight, in which they again suffered a very consider
able loss from our cavalry, who pursued them, and
a brisk (ire from the fortress; by which they endea
voured to prevent the approach of our troops, with
out any consideration for the safety of their own.—
Our loss is not yet ascertained ; but thaiiks to the
Almighty it is not great. The loss of the enemy in
killed was immense, almost the whole of the field
i ol battle being covered with their dead bodies.
' “ On the Ifithof June, lieut. gen. Lewis, after h
few skirmishes, took possession of the town of
Oshum, on the road from Schumla toTrenowa.
** On the 21st, lieut. gen. Womzow, and major
gen. count Stroguow, were ordered to fall upon a
body of 2000 cavalry, who had come out of the
fortress to forage. They executed their orders with
the most distinguished ability add intrepidity. The
enemy abandoned the forage they had collected, and
(led with the loss of 200 killed, and 3 officers, and
100 rank and tile made prisoners.
“ On the 22d June, the genera! of infantry, count
Kainenskboi, tooV post with the corps under his
command, on the road leading from Schumla io Con
stantinople, by the. way of Tschelekawy.
“ Aiaj. gen. count Suhoto, who passed the Da
nube en the 5th June, and effected a junction with
the Servians, commenced his operations in the
most successful manner, and on the 15th gained pos
session of the fortress of Persa Palaoka.**
[“ (t is not difficult to perceive, (says the Loo
don Conricc) through the disguise of this official
! narrative, that the Russians suffered most severely

The choice of the Prince of Ponto Corvo, as hciP
to the crown, is no lunger matter of doubt; it is al
ready publicly spoken of, and on the 21st inst. the
forim.l decision of the Diet will be announced,
Great advantages are expected to result to oof
country from this choice, and the financial embar
rassments of the governm-nt will be surmounted by
a voluntary loan from the Prince of eight millions
of Banco Hollars, at a low interest; the present
state of our government will be guaranteed to us,
and further benefits afforded as soon as the maritime
situation of Europe will admit of them; and what
i3 of still greater consequence, we perceive in the
present nomination an earnest of the future restora
tion of Finland. i, »

Our Gazette of this day contains tbefollowingv
“ 1 he Pript e of Ponte Corvo, ci-devant Bern#*
dotte, whs born in 1703. As a hern, he has prov
ed himself invincible ; as a statesman, he has pro
moted the wellare and prosperity of France, with
out any stilish view ; as a conqueror, he 'became'
the guardian angel of Hanover ; and as a philan
thropist, he has deserved and obtained the blessings
of Swedish Pomerania ; as a private roan, he avoids
all excess and pageantry, and with the same senti
ments he inspiles his hopeful son, who is sieve*
years old, .-gfe. 'i ,
“ Should it be objected that he is not oPffgh de
scent, 1 answer,‘that the successive steps that he ■
has barn obliged to tread, in order to attain tha
height where he is now placed, have made hiiftj|jfae-'
quainted with the concerns and relations of atf<lff»$
termediate situations in life, and his persona) merit, -
which raised him from one exalted station'to ano
ther, cannot but be the more eminent as it was not
supported by any of those birth-rights, to which
prejudice or custom frequently, yet undeservedly,
assign the highest offices of States. ' '
“ As to his religion, being no Roman Catholirk,
but a Protestant, his tenets, therefore, differ hot lit
tle from our own, merely in matters altogether tri
fling, and the transition from his religion to oort.
will be so little perceptible as to leave no room ei*
ther for blame or reproach. To learn the Swedish
tongue will prove an easy task to a man like him.
Our Frederick and Adolphus Frederick were Ger
