A great sicknesshaving prevailed among the troops
of the Italian Republic in garrison at the island of
Elba, the Vice-president Melti has demanded and
obtained permission from the Emperot to withdraw
them. They are to be replaced by troop. expedad
from the South of France.
A report was current fast week upon the exchange
of Marseilles, that the Emperor of Russia has
ordered an embargo to be laid on all ships in th..
port of Odessa. It is concluded from this measure,
that the Court of St. Petersburgh has determined to
embark all the troops encamped in the vicinity of
this place, anal who, some say, amuunt to 4O,0(10
men. What we know for certain is, that our go-
vernment has received no information of such an
event, and that there are not Russian ships enough
at Odessa to carry into the Mediterranean half the
cumber of troops.—(Journal des Dctensemrs.)
The extraordinary Military Commission of the
Department of the Upper Po has condemned to
death Antoine Belloni, as the principal chief in a
Late insurredion. ieveral of his accomplices have
received sentence of imprisonment in irons for six-
teen years.
It is said that the emigrant Count de Relleval, at
present the confidential %tnister of Prince Ypsi
lenti, tie Ho-podar of Wallachia, and who has re-
sided here for near six weeks, has, in the name of
his Sovereign, demanded to put this province un-
der the protrlion of the Emperor of the French,
and to become tributary to the French, instead of
the Turkish emp;rz. In the present circumstances,
whin a certain posver is exciting the Turkish sub-
jets of the Grec'an church to insurreßion every
where, this may, perhaps, be the only means of
preventing Wallachia from those disturbances, which
distrad the other Turkish provinces in Europe, as
well AS in Asia and Africa.—( La Gazette de France.)
We believe the rumours totally without founda-
tion, of another official paper, under the appellation
of an Imperial Gazette, to be published after the
Emperor's coronation. We think it more probable,
that the Almat-se will be permitted to assume that
title.—( jaeraa! de part;.)
I,' They write from Rouen, that several Conscripts,
of the years XI. and XII. listening to perfidiom,

suggestions, have deserted their colours, and re-
turned in their houses. Some of them nad received
anonymous letters, in which they were assured that
the deserters among the Conscripts would not in
future be prosecuted, and that therefore they need
not to be uneasy, or hesitate to leave a career into
which they had been forced. l'he prefeiß of the
department, in mentioning these and other part
malt', in an addr. ss so the parents and relatives ut
Cniiscripts, informs them, that the laws concor::ing
desertion will he executed with more severity than
ever; and. the.vfore, warns them not to expose their
children and themselves to dishonour and ruin.
He tells them, tLat All thes: false reports, and se-
cret intrigues, are invented and disseminated by
English emissaries, for the discovery of whom, he
offers the most liberal re•.rards.—(Le Ve,iette de

Roans.)
The tribunal of the distrit of Mireco.irt had con-
demned di: Coinmunt of Attign7, in the depart-
ment of Vosges, to tivres d image, with m -
terest, to four goo ertemet, dangerously wounded
by the inhabitants of the vill.age Attigny, iii the
discharge of their duty, by trying to arrest some
Conscripts, who had deserte.l. `Eli, Commune had
besides been condemned to ,2qo lilt re, t-)waids the
Republic, with costs. The inhahitaia of Attigny
appealed to thz Tribunal at Nancy, in opposition
to the Imperial Attorncy•Gener.tl. T:ie principal
means of these inhabitalts to have th,: sentence re-
versed were, that they reprled the law of the
10th Vrneirmaire (year IV.), ...cording to which
they had been condemned, a. a revolutionary law,
which, according to a former decision of the Coun-
cil of State, had been abolished by the constitution
of year VIII. But the Tribunal regard:A the law
of the Ioth fr‘mlefilai/i. :is a a•:,e one, without which
it would be in:possible fhr the armed force to exe-
cute its orders, particularly with regard to the ar-
rest of Conscripts, every where protated,
or concealed, by the ignorant multitude; and, there-
fore, confirmed the former sentence, with the addi-
tion of a fine of t u livres, and Gusts, against the in-
habitants of the Commune of A•tigny, for having
troubled the Tribunal with gair appeal.—(Journal
des TriGunartr.)
A kind of mutiny has lately taken place among
the girls in the Palais Royal, which has caused
much amusement to our liedasidz or cockneys. The
Prefeft of the Police, being informed of the inde-
cency of the dress, or rather the nakedness of the
unfortunate women who inhabit this den ei i)ro-
stitution and debauchery, by a regulation posted
up in the Palais Royal, ordered every woman, who
did ant dress in a sloucti manner, to be witca up

and sent to La Salpetriere, the horse of corteßion
for prostitutes. The night after, the amaiturs
looked in vain for fait companions in this P.dais—
V•ey had all emigrated, and walked, almost in
st;lu n,rhirit, upon the Boulevards, and in the
,treet: of St. Honore, La Loi, Vivienne, and Croix
Peti:s Champs. As a punishment for this refraftory
spirit, some of them were taken up, and carried to
the prefeaure of police. This alarmed the others,
but did not convert them to stri.l obedience,
b.:cause they went from one extremity to the other.
Instead of being almost naked, they invented a kind
of dress called a sack (not of repentance), vi
hich
hung down so low, as to cover their toes and their
heels ; while tied up to the chin with a capuchin
over the head, which left nothing visible but one
eye, half a nose, and half a mouth. In this kind of
masquerade dress, the police permitted them to con-
tinue as long as they liked ; but observing, no
doubt, by the decrease of customers, that few would
be caught in their sacks, they have, by degreec, re-
turned, and assumed the dress of our modest wo-
men ; which, by the bye, is not very modest.—

FROM THE HAMBURGH MAIL.

LIGHOILN, AUG. 20.

Yesterday arrived here from Paris, a courier to
the French General, who immediately gave orders
to take an account of all the ships belonging to
Russia, Sweden, and another Power, that were in
this harbour. There were several Russian ships,
hut only two Swedish. This morning the Ltrurian
General La Rilletto, at the request of the French
General, issued orders that no ship belonging to the
above Powers should be suffered to sail. Tile
French General has likewise placed a French pri-
vateer at the entrance of the harbour, And French
soldiers in the guard boat which lies in the middle
of the harbour. Etrurian soldiers are ordered on
board the ships, which, however, may unload with-
out interruption. There are no Prussian ships here
at present.

LVIIIBURGH, SEPT. 6.

Public notice has been given here, that all Eng-
lish commodities may pass free, both here, and in
the whole H inoverian territory, provided they are
not on English account ; it must, however, be. shewn
by certificate, that they are on the account of the
receiver, whose name must be insetted in each cer-
tificate.

4LOPENHAGIVS. SEPT. I.

The Russian squadron sailed from the Road on
the 306, for the North sea. The Cadet ship, the
ViThre, and the Fame, have arrived from the Baltic
in our Road.

SEPT. 4.

Towards the midile of this month the Russian
squadron, trader Rear-Admiral Lenpmann, is ex-
pected to return into the Baltic from the North
Sea. Should the squadron, while in the North
Sea, find it necessary to go into a port, it will
not put into an English one, but into some port in
Norway.

ZI.SINEUS, SEPT. I.

On the 30th of August, three Russian ships of the
line, tw•o frigates, and a cutter brig, arrived in this
road from Copenhagen, which to-morrow will pass

An Evening Paper of yesterday announces the
receipt of Paris Pipers to the 9th, with the follow.
ing intelligence :

"Letters from Vienna state, that the faTeri 1 Citrf
Casette, which used to style BONAPARTE /he new
So.:ere:go ff France, nn the 23d of August, for the
first time, styled him His Mejrary Napoleon the

" A Letter from Genoa, dated 25th ult. confirms
the fad of the Embargo having been laid on the
Russian and Swedish ships in the hat bur of Leg-
horn, which had created great alarm among Corn-
mercial Men, and raised the price of provisions;
but adds, that the Order Was reroked lays ,labs ante

PutS,;ctire of the 7th, and a pert is copied into the

lates to the revocation of the Order for the Ern-

It is asserted positively, that the Pore is to
•ct out from Rome on the 2tith September for
P.ois,, where he will take up his residence in the

We have received a series of the M.nitesr to
the 9th ; but, with the exception of the arrival of
BON•FARTt at Aix-la-Chapelle, upon the 2J,
they take no notice of any of the above pa.-
uculars. The 4fonitestr of the Bth, which is stated
to contain a partisl account of the, Embargo,

does not Imention a word upon the subjeft. We
believe the Ha A A ra..arz. _ C
urrecp, :denten is the only au-
thority for that report.

A letter from Berlin of tie 4th inst. states, that
the privat.i correspondenco hotwem the Emperor of
ReSSI A And the King of Psit:SSl A, which had been
suspended since the murder of the Duke of ENO..
Ht cm, has bee❑ renewzd ; and that within the three
last weeks, four couriers had arrived from and re-
turned to Russia, with no other dispatches than this
imperial and Royal correspondence. To prevent
the secret agents of But 4 APART es secret police from
stopping and robbing these couriers, they travJ,
both in Russia and Prussia, under the escort of

light dragoons or hussars. BOtira Aat e's emissary
at Berlin, LA loiter, is, however, not idle, hav-
ing attempted to bribe over a young man, lately
made a private secretary to a p2rson high in favour
at court both with the KING and QUEEN, but who,
lot tunately, was trusted with no other secrets than
tln.sse concerning the internal administration ; this
attempt was discovered by the great expence and
extravagance of his vktim, who is now shut up at
Spandow. It is said, that the parents of this young
man have made a complaint, in a petition to BoN A•
P A RTC, of L• FORETN treacherous condo t, but
tile answer of the Corsican is easily foreseen ;
though this, and some other infamous and low in-
trigues of the Revolutioliary French Diplomats,
cause him to be as much watched and despised at
cum., as he is already hated in public. It is
observed at Berlin, that the English, Russian, and
Swedish ministers there, make a kind of coterie
among themselves, and seldom see the other mem-
bers of the Diplomatic Corps, except when at Court.
Even the Austrian and Danish Ministers are not
often visited by them. By the French courier, ar-
rived at Berlin OR the 2J, Lt FURET received on
two banking houses remittances to the amount of
twenty-five thousand Louis d'ors.

Dispatches of importance were, we understand,
received yesterday from Rear-Admiral COCHRAN'
off Ferrol. They were brought by the Naiad,
which arrived at Plymouth last Saturday Alernoon,
and which left our squadrun off Ferrol and Curunna,
all well on the llth.

The Naiad frigate, which is arrived at Ph-mouth
with dispatches from Rear Admiral C(iCHILA:, t:, left
the fleet off Ferrol all well on the 11th inst —Mr.
Fit Est, our late Minister at the CJurt of Madrid,
came home passenger in her.
Sunday morning sorne firing at intervals was
heard at Dover; but in the afternoon it became
e violent and continued. The weather was so
hazy that the French coast wa. not visible, and the
cause of the firing could not be ascertained.
Dr. CIMIGFITON is upon the eve of departure
with his Family, in consequence of his late rooint-
tnent as Physician to the Emperor of Rt ssi a.
The Lisbon Mail, art ived yesterday, has brought
accounts from the Mediterranean, which state, that
the yellow lever has again broken out at Malaga.
Yesterday, considerable detachment of tha
Foot Guards marched to Windsor, in ordcr to do
the duty of that royal residence, during the absen e
of the Staffordshire Militia, now attendant on the
King at AVeymouth.
Mossizua did not set off until four o'clock yes-
terday nalning, with the Comte de PUYSEQUR, and
bis Almoner Abbe Lart Tha Baron de Rot La
ace .nipanies him to Harwich.
The new levy of recruits for the army has bean
ordered in the eastern parts of the Russian dorni•
nions. The French emissaries here affed to regard
this measure as a proof that the councils of the
Turkish Divan have taken a direftion unfavourable
to the political projefis of Russia.
his Excellency, Mr. Fan's, our Ambassador to
Madrid, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday aftern ion,
with Capt. H ,in the Naiad. We susped that
our relations with Spain have lately experienced
some change, not friendly to the expectation of re-
maining at peace with that Power. It is rather re-
markable that the SPANISII AIIIIANADUR should
have sailed from Falmouth for Cadiz within a day nr
two of the arrival of our Ambassador from Madrid.

The .Mar York Evening Post of the Sth mentions,
that a Gentleman who arrived from Clutrleston had
declared, that at the time of his sailing a consider-
able mortality prevailed in that city, and that up-
wards of twenty persons, exclusive of blacks, had
died the day previous to his departure.
'I he arrival of the Leeward Island fleet and the
trade from Demerara, has put the greatest pan of
the British foreign commerce out of the risk of any
d Inger from the rapacity or predatorial enterprise
of the French navy. We understand that there
are only ceo other important convoys, which are
espeeteil in the course of this season, one from the
West In fi-s. and the other from Bengal and Madras.
Ace. r.l ng to the retort of a master of a neutral
vessel, left the read last Tuesday, barracks
are ordered to be built at the Helder, ar.d in its
vicinity, sufficient to contain 25,000 men. it has
been thence supposed, that the expedition from Hol-
land for England will not set sail so soon as was
expeCted. Frei ch and Batarian Commission-
ers, who are inspeding this undertaking, say, how-
ever, that these barracks are only destined to con-
..

twin an army of Reserve, which is to follow the pre-
sent Gallo-Batavian army, when it has made Rood
its landing ; an event which, they pretend, will not
long be deferred, as they say every thing is ready,
and only waiting for the orders of Bomar Aar*. ;
in four hours after the receipt of which, roes the

c2,:alrv, with their herack, will be embarked Large
map,azines are collecting every where in North

camped at Ziest would in a week arrive there.
Several mot: transports had been engaged; but
the number actually in the Tezel am muted to no
more than eighty-two, and the crews or Urea were
sot complete.
