" Count Arkadi Iwanowitsch—When I consented
to your demand of being recalled from the post,
which you occupied so much to my satisfaction,
and in which you shoved such an honottrable zeal,

tice to all your proceedings in that post, and to
thank you for these as well as for your former en-
deavours to serve me. As I desire to give you a
new proof of my satisfaction, so have I ordered,
until opportunity offers to employ better your
distinguished talents, that you are to receive
twelve thousand roubles yearly, from the rove-
rile of the Post-Office, reckoning from the day
of our arrival in Russia ; and besides the same

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 18.
The quarrel between the Arnauts and the Mame-
lukes was caused by the latter refusing to pay the
former what was due to them of their pay. To ob-
tain it, therefore, they laid Cairo under a heavy
contribution, which caused an insurreftion, which
forced them to desist. They then attacked the Ma.
melukes. Hursehit Pacha, the late Governor of
f Cairo, though he resides as a private person at
Alexandria, is supposed to have instigated the Ar-
n.auts in this affair, who, after their viaory, invited
him to revime his former government at Cairo.
It is, however, yet uncertain whether the Porte will
. confirm him in a place already given to the famous

LAN DON,
FRIDAY, MAY Q.

The llamburgh Mail due on Weancs.lay arrived
Yesterday. The most important article of its con-
tents is 1 rescript of:the Emperor of Rersi A, expres-
sing in the strongest terms his apprnbatiuo ot*
eandua of Count Ms aitotr, in his embassy at
Paris, and conferring upon him an annuity of
12 000 roubles. Athongh this re,c-tpi is dated so far
back as the 15th day of February, it was not
m tele publicly known, until the Ist of May. From
this circumstance, it would seem, that the Emrssoa

had some time made up hit mind, as to the line of
condud which he should follow, respeding Box .A-
PAR rr, although it might not have been prudent to
avow it sooner. Indeed we have reason to believe,
that a steady, vigorous, and determined Government
in this country, that should enjoy the confidence of
the Continental Powers ; might, if so inclined, have
long since united them in a coalition against BUN*.
PARTL ; and that they have only been waiting
tiar such a Government to declare themselves. Upon
the subjed of coalition., we may observe, that
it was the murder of one Bou noN, of Lot' is
XVI. in 1793, that mended the chain of a loyal
confederacy against rebellion, from the borders of the
Rhine, and from the foot of the Nips, to the tops of
the Pyrenees; that lighted the torches of civil war
in the bosom of France, and shook the very foun-
dation of her regicide Republic. Unfortunately
for the quiet of the world, FREDERIC WILLIAM 11.
the head of this league, posses..ed not those virtues
and talents necessary to succeed in crushing an
anarchy that stooped to every thing, and respoded
nothing ; that employed alike intrigues and bribes,
plots and plunder, to embroil state, ; upon whose
union depended enth ely whether innocence should
cease to suffer, or guilt to prosper; whether the
regicides should receive the chastisement due to
their enormities, or continue to insult the virtuous
and loyal by their farther impunity. A man, who
was at that period a subaltern assassin only, has
now, in the height of power, wantonly stained his
hands in the blood of another BOURBON Another
MONARCH; whose virtues are as eminent as his ta-
lents are undeniable, calls therefore !.ow all civilised
and independent nations to revenge i ra!:k,
to defend outraged humanity, and to arm in a cause
equally interesting tnthe liberties of subj.-as, and the
prerogatives of Navereigns. Experience tics tanght
people yet free, that the destruilion of the • a-
polising power of die French Republic is alp,
necessary for the preservation of their freedne. , and
the examples of Spain, Portugal, and Naples, have
convinced all other laNfilt Princes, that the can
never reign with safety, should they I.mger endue,
Bori•eaara's tyranny. Should a s-coalitain be
formed, past errors and present sufferings will, we
hope, teach all parties to make a common elf srt in a
common cause, against a common enemy; to banish
national jealousies and hatred, if they de-ire to con-
quer a monster that threatens to. devout them all.
By isolating their respective interests. and by re-
garding a war with revolutionary Feare., in the
SAM light as a war with the F..meh maw re:iy ; by
sometimes despising the rep iblicans ma much, and
at other times by dreading tiiem bescral mimeure
disunion formerly crept il, conteinnt ctien laid
aside vigilance, and terror neutralised vigour itself;
whilst the dangerous foes continued a systematic
warfare, equally successful tinder diffireat repub-
lican tyrants—under ROBRSPIERRi as un le, RUN A.
r Aare. During the first coalition of 1,791, Russia
remained neuter with the other leaps d ;sowers,
though a declared enemy to France ; but zipaim
Portugal, and Pi sssia, united their armies with
those of aMgland, Austria, anJ Germany. Daring
the second coalition of 1799, Spain and Prussia
were neutrals or allies with France, whilst die
armies of Russia conquered laurels in Germ any as
weU as in Italy and in Switzerland. During both
these coalitions, Sweden and Denmark continued
to maintain their impolitic neutrality. The with-
drawing of the Russian troops in IROO procured Bo-
naparte those viaories which commanded the peace
of I.uneville. We mention this only to shew, that
it Russia and Austria alone •might, in 1800, have
II kept the Republicans on this side of the Alps; when
united with the Courts of Sweden and Denmark,
Europe may yet hope fur its deliverance, and joy.
shy may yet triumph over rebellion, even without
the assistance of Prussia, whose selfish policy is
always doubtful, and always to be mistrusted. The
late note of the RUSSIAN MONARCM to the Diet of
Ratisbon is regarded by most politicians as a fore-
runner of a new or third league against France, in
which, nn doubt, Spain, Portugal, and Naples
will he invited to join. Should these States be weak
enough not to take this opportunity to shake off the
degrading yoke of Republican France, the policy
of England certainly requites not to endure their
neutrality, in greatly advantageous to France, but
1,1:ow, in this case, her example of 1800, and treat
every state as an enemy that does not combat as a
friend the common enemy of mankind. As to
Turkey, its interest is the same a'. that of Eng-
land, Austria, and Russia, and the Divan will, and
must follow the impute given Gl:cc i re-
ponderating Powers Lt Europe.

It was reported yesterday, that BON•P ART I', im-
mediately after the receipt of t!ie note from the
Russian Charge d'Affaires, at Paris, sent an order
to St. Petersburgh, to his Min:ster there, to have
Russia, without taking lease, and that TALLLV-
RAtsD had sent his passes to the Russian Charg•
d'Affaires, informing him that his stay in Frare
would be dispensed with. This news is said to 1.a...e

been received by an American Gentleman, who
left Patis on the 18th, at which period the Procla-
mation Of BONAPAR E. as Emperor, had been
decreed to take place on the COtl:, all over France ;
orders having been sent by extra couriers, and by
the telegraphs, to that drat. There was a rumour
at Paris, that the American Minister, I..iviNosrme,
had brought over such a /dm! plan for a Peace,
that the good Parisians expected Jvh,t Bak
would be abk to go over to France to see BONA.

Count Dit K•LISCH re is the Russian Nobleman
appointed the successor at our Court, of the present
worthy Russian Ambassador, Count De WORON•

by the Emperor Pala as his Amlsitssador to Ito-
srsfatTel from which place he was recalled by the
present EMPEROR, in 1801, and succeeded by
Count fitseitorr. He is a Nobleman well versed
in the politics of Europe, but was formerly sus-
pected of some paitiality for the French faction at
St. Petersburgh.

We ate, sorry to confirm part of the unpleasant in-
telligence, reported yesterday from Fort Marlbro'.
Admiral ',mots, in an eighty gun ship, with
severed frigateg, appeared off that place, the latter
end of I )ecenther, when the Commissioner, who has
charge of the Government there, caused all the
public and private stores to be destroyed, and re-
treated will the British inhabitants, up the country.
Admiral Livros, not thinking the settlement of suffi-
cient consequence to detain him, left the island, and
is generally supposed to be gone after the China
fleet.

We are positively assured, no account has been
received of the loss of the Cardin( frigate, as stated
in severalof yest rday's papers. The Caroline left the
homeAard.:round fleet some time after the appear-
ance of Admital Luxor% before Fort Marlbro'.
'lhe squadron under Admiral H A ars' N had not
effeeted a junetion with LiNois.

Ey letters from the Cape, it appears considerable
apprimisions wete entertained for the safety of His
Majesty's sloop of war, Ratficanatir, as she was sup-
posed to have fallen in with the enemy.
The following Dutch line of battle ships were at
the Cape in Match last, under the command of Ad-
miral DO.CILLR :

very gond order.

The above ships, it was generally understood,
were shortly to sail from the Cape to cruise off the
island of St. Helena, where, it is apprehended, they
wsll do considerahle mischief. Six thousand troops
were expelled at the rape from France.

'PRIVATE CORILSPONpENCE.

Dout.lN, Km' 19.
A duel was fought yesterday by two Attorneys of
this City, on the banks ,of the Royal Canal, be.
tween the bridges of Drumcondra an,i Summer
Hill, about the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon.
The pistol of (me of the pal-ties missed tire, btu his
antagonist wounded him silyhtl4 in the &at, teliert
the matter was amicably settled. A great Con_
course of people assembled to witness the scene, 41kt
two of the must eminent Surgeons in Dublin „t_
tended the parties. From the time of the day, 4ki
publicity of the place appiiinted, it is thought tlia
no great mischief was intended.

Instances have been known of duellists liav;:l .
their pistols loaded with rJri bullets. Rut 11, .ne

committee have accordingly lodged examinatiocs
against them, and the result of the prosecution is
anxiously awaited by the public, as it is considered,
that much will depend upon the manner in whith
the offenders are punished, for an insult nit die ge-
