The Duke of Otdenburgk has returned to Lis

summers.

possible means of defence, for the safety of the

A letter from Bayonne, of the sates,

stress of weather, the port of St. SeSastian, unaer
American colours. • Sl:e had 100 French prisoners
an board. among whom was a native of Biscay.
who, in his pmvincial dialea, informed the Spanish
boats, which came alongside of the ship, that she
was an English frigate, and not an American bot-
tom. The English. finding them elves discovered,
cut their cablz and stood out to seat but the un-
common swell in the offing, and contrary winds,
rendered her escape impossible. She took ground,
and is now in possession of the Spanish. The
same of the frigate is not known, but she is sup.
posed to be commanded by a nephew of Admiral
Cochrane.

The arrival of Her Majesty the Empress, was an-
nounced, yesterday, about noon, by three dis-
charges of artillery.
Her Majesty was yesterday received, at the en-
trance of the Department of the Seine, by the
PrefeEt of the Department, and the Municipal Body
of Paris.

CONST•IITINOPLE, DEC. IS.

A Council of the Ministers wsz held yesterday,
and war was declared against Russia. The Ule•
mu have pronounced it to be just ; the :modest, of
the Prophet has been hoisted; all the country is in
motion ; the Pachas of Romelia have received or-
ders to advance with their troops towards the Da-
nube ; another army advances from Asia, and will
follow the same chreelion ; the Grand Visir will
take the command, and march with the holy stand-
ard. hi. Italinsky was to be sent to the Seven Tow-
ers ; the French Ambassador, far from imitating
the condufl of that Minister, was the first to ad-
vise the Porte to send him back honourably. Ten
sail of the line ate egoipping ; the press has taken
place, and has produced several sailors. The two
English ships are still before Constantinople ; the
British Minister does not appear to have had any
instruSions on so u:.expened a circumstance. It is
Cie insulting proclamation of General Michelson,
which has excited throughout the lernpre this ge-
tout movement ; tilt Turks say, that they would
rather die fighting, scimitar in hand, under the ban-
ner of the Prophet, than submit to such outrages.
The Patriarch, a venerable man, who possesses the
greatest influence, and the Princes Callimachi and
Stun t, have made known to the Greeks, by a pi o.
clamatinn, the incalculable misfortunes which will
befall them, if they do not shut their ears to the per-
fidious insinuations of Russian Agents. Alternate
viftims of the Russian arms, of the arms of the
Turks, and, perhaps. of any other power, the
country would be laid waste for a century ; but the
hi ave have not ceased to exit in Europe, and they
v.:11 nu sutler the vast Empire which extends its
confines to China, to reign also upon the Bospho-
rus; the Turks may perhaps be beaten, hut they will
eventually be conquerors ; they will have for them
one powerful ally ; it is this on which reposes our
confidence. He will nftt permit that their enemies
should provoke them any longer ; that the people,
whom he has already several times vanquished,
should destroy the most ancient and most necessary
of his frielis ; already his camp is upon the Vis-
tula; already the Russians, which are in sight of
our troops, sufficiently us inifest the terror which
pervades them ; our ecermes will be confounded,
and our Empire will sumo out of this struggle, and
re-establish itself upon its natural alliances.

The intelligence of the incntsion of the Russians
into Moldavia has been received, in all the frontier
places of Turkey, with equal surprise and indigna-
tion. All the Commanders along the banks of the
Danube have consulted together, to consider by
what means they may stop the progress of the Rm.-
sans, and defend the Ottoman Empire.
The Russians have 35,000 men in Moldavia,
most of them new raised troops. blustapha Ba-
rayaar and Paswan Oglu have already assembled
to oppose them 30,000 good troops, among which is
a considerable bOJy of cavalry. This army will
soon be augmented to 50,000 men. Prince Mo.
ruzzi proposes to raise a corps of 20,000 men at his
own evince ; and when this force shall be united
with that of the Puha of Silistria. and that of the
Commandant of Ibrailaw, the Ottoman army on
the Danube will be 100,000 strong.

is said, but contribute, in a most powerful manner,
to the re-estahlishment of a Continental peace. It
is alto asserted, that several other Princes &site to
come to an accommodation vitas Fiance, and that
it is not improbable that the Rhenish Confederacy
may become more extensive ant general than was

Prince Charles Von Anersperg has pnblidsed a
Memorial, in justification of his sandal. It appwrs
that this Prince, after luting been confined apt iscr.cr.
for upwards of a twelvemonth, at the fortress O. Koe-
ninr.grats in Bohemia. was wlarrrei after the re-
gular trial by the Council of War, assmbled in
that fortress ; but a superior order having laid the
proceeding on his trial before the Aulic Council of
War, at Nf 'cane, the latter, instead of confirming the
first decision, condemned him, as is notorious, to
very severe penalties. It is to show the injustice of
this latter sentence, that he has published the Me-
morial which has just made its appearance.

LONDON,
THURSDAY, Fzentukair 12.

We this day resume our extralls from the French
and Dutch Papers, received on Tuesday night.
Turkey, they assure as, has alheally declared War
egiSse RUSII4 ; and, as a misunderstanding is grow-
ing up between the Prussians and Russians, con-
fident hopes are entertained, that the King of Paes-
si A will avail himself of the present moment of re-
-I.t.t.;tion in the military operations, to open a ne-
goaiation for Peace with France. The Turkish
army is to form the right wing of the French.
Austria is likely to be involved in a quarrel with
Russiz ; and tote former is on the eve of forming a
more intimate conreftion with France than ever
subsisted between these two P..wers, a connthion
which may greatly contribute to the re-establish-
ment of a Continental Peace. Several other German
Princes, we are told, are also desirous of coming to
an accommodation with France, and the Confederacy

of the Rhine is likely to exceed, in extent, the
most sanguine cape/Winn of the projeCtor of that
plan. Disease is al.o making a great progress
among the Russian troops, while the French army
is in excellent health. The Conscripts, as they ar-
rive, are well clothed and fed; and a large army is
organizing in Poland. Such is the flattering de-
scription given in the Mematnir, of the present state
of the war, and the political relations of France,
upon the Continent. Bo solemnly pledg-
ed himself to the Polish Senate, at Posen,
to reestablish the kingdom of Poland, in
form, upon his arrival at Warsaw ; and we
were given to understand, that he should not halt
in his viitorious career, until he bad planted
his eagles upon the walls of Saint Petersburgh.
How comes it then, that, instead of announcing in
►is Bulletins, the accomplishment of this great ob-
jet, he is obliged to send his fancy to roam thro:tgh
all Europe, in search of a fresh supply of hopes and
Promises? that he lets the cm tain fall upon the bril-
liant prospeCts lately opened is the North, and would
divert the eye of the speCtatur to the mote capti-
vating scenery of the South, to Austria and Tur-
key ? The fad is this, the result of the battle of
Pultusk, has made Bomar* arc afraid to follow the
Russians farther. As General BENINOSIM'S Re-
port is more worthy of credit, we believe the result
of that battle was in his favour. The Freach Bul-
letins represent it a victory in their favour, and yet
the accounts which they give, correspond more with
the supposition of a drawn battle. The 47th Bulle-
tin states the loss of the French at 3000, killed and
taken, and that of the Russians, at 12,000. The
31st Bulletin does not state the loss of the Russians
higher than 9000, and it admits, that the French
did not pursue the enemy after the battle. But
whatever the result of the affair of the 2Gth may
have been, whether a vi Cory, a defeat, or a drawn
battle, it has evidently stopped the career of BON A.
PARTS. With a loss of 9000, or 12000 men,
the Russian army must be still considered unbroken:
Wby then did Bon ar •IIT a stop in his career, unless
compelled or induced by the result of the 26th ?
The French army is represented in excellent health
and condition, and the weather as mild as at Paris
in the middle of °Sober. This was not a
season or situation for sending an army into winter
quarters, if it could prosecute the campaign with
died. But, in truth, the army has not gone into
winter quarters; part of it is reducing the for-
tresses of Silesia; another part is represented in
motion to reduce Colberg, Graudentz, Dantzic, and
Koningsberg. and the remainder has merely stopt,
for the present, on the other side of the Vistula, not
daring to proceed farther. Such is the termination
of a campaign, for which BUNA/AKra has ordered
the impious Bishops of his Empire, to offer up
public prayer., and to be celebrated with equal'
pomp, as the mem trahle vi Cory of Jena.
