Genetal Dupont having written to Don Tomas
De Motla, Governor of Cadiz, pressiog an imme-
diate embarkation of the troops that had surren-
dered, under his command, received an answer from
him. which is inserted in thatpsper, and in which the
rsoverimr observes, "that neither the capitulation,
not the approbation of the Junta, nor even an ex-
press order from the King, could make that pos-
sible; which is itot possible.
" There are not," adds he, " transports, nor any
means of obtaining them.for the conveyance of your
Omens. Whist can be greater proof of this, than
tka• ,ye retain your troop here at a great expense,
looms! of removing them to another country ?
" General Ca.tanos, when he promised to obtain
a passport fru* the English for the passage of your
army, could only engorge to solicit one with ear"
neatness, as he has done. But how can your Ex-
cellency suppose that the British ships would suf-
fer your troops to pass, certain that tl.ey were going
to make war on their nation in some *doer place. I
cannot persuade myself' that either General Cas-
taws or your Excellency would believe that such a
capitulation could be carried into effect.
" The object of your Excellency must have been
to obtain conditions which, thoisgh impossible.
'might do honour to your surrender ; we must.
however, submit to the imperious law of necessity."
On the 14th instant. General Dupont, with the
Staff of his army, arrived at the port of Santa
Maria. to embark on board the ships, in which
they were to remain till an opportunity offered to
transport them to France. The populace looked
Au in silent indignation, which, however, they re-
strained, from respect to the Governor. But when,
in the act of embarkation, they saw fall out of
101112 of their baggage a cover of a chalice,
and other parts of sacred utensils, which had been
Stolen from the churches, they fell upon all the

to be at their different places of tlestUsatiou ; after
the inimmuvres, which they have to perform, shall

The day before yesterday the E.nperor hunted
in the wood of St. Germain, sad breakfasted in
the Par'llion de la Muerte ; Prince William pf
Prussia, Count Tolstoy, and the Marshals gm.
sena, Lefebvre, and Lannes,-were of the party. „„,,
Our newspapers state, that the state messengers,
who arrived on board the Ainerienn ship the lads
inst. at Havre de Grace, openly declare, that the
Government of the United States has transmitted
an whiners)* to the Coed of London, the prin.
cipel condition of which is the liberty of the seas;
and that in case of this wftimatent pot being ac-
ceded to by the British Government, war is to be
declared against England by the United States.

The Moniener, of the 29th instant. Contains in-
telligence from London. with strictures on the
same.—The Argus. of yesterday, makes, on this
subject, the following remarks
" The observations made in yesterday's Mani.
tent, en some extracts from English Newspapers,
of the nth lust. entirely remove the apprehensions
entertained with regard to the political state of
affairs between Austria and France. It now ap-
pears that the two Courts have never been on bet-
ter terms of amity and friendship than they are at
present. The Court of Vienna being well ac-
quainted with the real bearings of British politics,
is perfectly aware of the burdensome tax which
thV Continent pays to English ingenuity, and knows
full well that she can receive but little assistance
from that quarter.

" Spain has also opened to the English para•
graph writers a vast field for speculation—they
congratulate too soon their country on the cheek
which some detached corps of the French have sus-
tained. Every man of sense must he aware, that
as soon as France shall attack tke insurgents with
bet whole military force, no further opposition can
he made on their part. England holds out pro-
mises of mighty succour and assistant, but the
last wars have shown hew England is uccwitonaeil
to fulfil her promises ; and how can Great Britain
possibly do more for Spain at present than she did
in the war of the succession, at the beginning of
the last century.? Are the English soldiers in our
days more valiant thou the Conquerors of Blen-
heim ? Iles she greater generals at present than the
gallant Peterborough ? Certainly not; and yet she
was compelled to yield to the aged Lehi' XI V.
and to a power far infe►ior to the present: Govern-
ment of France."—(Mid.)

15,000, after they had previously detached a ~mall
rorps across the Danube and Vi allachia, which the
IttisSlum suffered to be dune, although it was con-
tras) to the terms of the arisiistiee.

" On the arrival of the two Turkish General.; iu
the Constantit.oplt, Zdustapha llairac-
tar iii.relied unexpectedly with his force stt•tit to
the Seraglio, where he was joined by the Captain
Pacha, and a number if Janissaries. Mustapha
surrounded the Seraglio, demanded that Seliw
should be delivered to hits, and threatened to carry
the Seraglio by assault, in ease of ralisalr. Tn an-
swer to this detuaod, Selien's dead body was shewn
him from the walls, with the exclaniatiou, Here
is Selint !'

.. Sultan Alustapha had murdered Selina in the
most cruel manner. When his corpse was thus ex-
hibited to the troops, the Captain Pacha stood
dismayed at the dreadful sight, but Mustapha Rai-
ractar exclaimed--4 All is not yet lost !' Declared
Mastapha unworthy of the throne--proclaimed his
younger brother, Mahomed. ltiriperot and ordered
the public to be made acquainted with the revolu-
tion which had taken place, by the firing of guns.
i—This being done, Mustapha Buiractar gave orders
to carry the Seraglio by assault—penetrated lute
the iincrior of the Palace, and found Sultan Muir
tapha,*with a sword in his baud, in the very act of
wounding his younger brother, Mahomed, whom he
also intended to destroy. Being overpowered, and
prevented from carrying this deed of blood into
effect, he was conducted into a private room of the
Palace, and coufined. Mustapha &nectar then
nominated himself Grand Vizier, and appointed
his anteceasor Governor of the Fortress of Ismael.
De thereupon issued a Proclamation, stating, that
the Porte had enemies against whom the war must
be continued ; and that, consequently, warlike
preparations must be carried on with increased
vigour.
During those transactions, the main body of
the Russian troops took up another position near
'unen.

in 1789. He is of a mild and generous dispo-

of firm resolve, and uudaunted courage. A few
days will develop! his plans."—(flogre Gazette,
Sept. 5.)

The Maxima?, of the 49th August, contains ob-
servations, in the form of long notes, on au article
in an English Newspaper of the *di August, rela-
tive to the probability of a war taking place be-
tween France askt Austria, and the atti►irs of Spain :
Numerous corps of French troops," says the
English print, .4 are already assembled at Sims-
burgh and the environs, and orders have been given
for the formation of au Ar:uy of Reserve." On
this the 111estiterr has the following note It
is true that 40,000 men, of the last Conscriptioi,
are going to Germany to reinforce the skeleton regi-
ments of the Grand Army, and replace double
the number of veteran troops which have been
drawn off for Spain. Thus the Great' Army
will rather be diminished than augmented by this
measure, which certainly shews no hostile inten-
tion."

When the English paper speaks -if 9, the state
of agitation in which the kingdom of Naples now
is—" the 21/oxitear says—" Never was the king-
dom of Naples more tranquil. For a hundred
years past never were there fewer assassinations and
robberies. The galley-slaves, which the English
landed there, were taken by the Guards of the
country, and delivered up to justice. The pre-
sence of the English Army in Sicily is not felt
there ; it is entrenched in Syracuse and Messina.
Experience will shew whether it will be able to de-
fend Sicily."
London Paper—" A person who left 11011a..d,
last Tuesday, and arrived in London on Setitr4e,'.
the 6th, announces, that the Austrian Ausbassadur.
in Holland, had demanded his passports, and had
set oat for Vienna ; that the Austrian Aitibassador
nt Paris had been recalled ; that Goitui Andre,
ossi had left Vienna ; and that French troops were
pouring in from all quarters to the frontiers of
Austria and Bohemia." Alttikar—li Mere stuck-
jobbing rummers—Count Metternich is at Paris.
and what is still better, extremely welt received
there. General Audreossi is ut Vienna. The
French troops are in cantonments, and at more
than too leagues from Austria, properly .As called."
Lawton Paper—" It appears nevertheless that
he (Napoleon) thinks himself strong enough to
make head against Spain and Austria at the same
time." Mumirear—" It is amusing to fiiel it made
a doubt whether France and her allies can at once
make war against Austria and Spain, when, with-
out allies, she has conquered four coalitions, ten
times more formidable. It does not signify ; the
English would see with pleasure Austria make war.
In the saute spirit as they excited the coalition of
ProsiA, though they clearly foresaw what would
happen. But they lire from day to day. A war,
which should only last six months, will be always
0 much gained for them; they never thick of the
