The Vienna Gazette announces, that the EMPE-
ROR has ordered to be sent to the Mint all the Court
plate, which, prior to the Proclamation of the 19th
of December, 1809, was in the Imperial sideboard,
in the parochial Church of the Palace, and in the.
Imperial country-houses, with the single exception
of a small quantity of plate necessary for the jour-
neys of the Court. This order will be executed
gradually, says the Gazette, in proportion as dishes
of indispensible necessity shall be fabricated of more
ignoble metals to replace those of silver. By this
measure the State gains a sum of 93,376 florins, 36
kreutzers, of sterling money.
Notwithstanding these new arrangements and sa-
crifices, the Austrian financiers have not improved
the credit of their paper, which fell considerably
after they had been publicly announced.
A Circular of the Regency of Lower Austria
announces a considerable reduction of the Reserve,
and of the Landwehr. The regiments of German
Infantry are reduced to 1,000 men,, part of whom
will always be on furlough. There will be this
year 1,600 men of reserve, and in 1812, 2,500 for
each regiment of the line, The reserve will be only
donsidered as a nursery of soldiers, and will bear
the name of the troops of cninpletement. The Land-
wehr will be reduced from 110,000 to 50,000 men.
The obligation of service extends to the age of 45.

HFAMANSTADT, it Tz.v 11.—By letters tioni Bucharest of the
sth, we are informed that an envoy named HAMET E rreNDI,
has arrived there from the Turkish head-quarterq, Aecon.pa,
:lied by the interpreter Apostolaky. He was received with
great distinction. After this pelliminary, it is probable tier-
eations will be opened. The Reis El PE NM, who is in the
Turkish camp, is probably charged with the negociatiou.

The Ganet sloop of war is arrived here from
Carunna, with letters and rapers to the 30th ult.
The letters by this conveyance mention, that 1000
French, escorting 800 Spaniards and some English
prisoners, had been attacked (the place is not men-
tioned) by a superi nr body of Spanish troops, who
:succeeded in liberating the whole of the prisoners,
and taking about half of the euefay.
A letter from Comma, of the 17th, states, that
the French had evacuatel the province of Asturias

on the 1441 ult. and taken the road to Castile.
Before they departed, they. levied a heavy contri-
bution on the inhabitants of Oviedo. Gen.,PonmEn
is said to have arrived at Oviedo on, the 17sh inst.
with 3000 Spanish troops. The first measure
adopted by the General was to arrest the Audiencia,
who wefe constitued under the sanction of the ene-
my. They were thrown into confinement.
The French have also retired from Astorga, and
move in the direction of Castile.
We give in another part of our Paper the Expo.si
of the State of the French Empire for this year,
communicated as usual to the Legislative Body,
We had prepared some observations upon its cop.
tents, the appearance of which the press of more
important intelligence since arrived compels us to
delay. _ .

BUONAPARTE is said to have laid an embargo en
all American vessels with cargoes in the French
ports, in order that, in case of a rupture, they may
not fall into our hands. •
By letters from Heligoland ve learn, that the
Ex-King of SWEDEN has taken his departure from
that island at the special invitation of the King of
DRNMARIC ; that he had consented to take up his
abode, for the present, and reside in privacy, at a
town called Gottorp, a short distance from Slcs-
wick or Schleswig ! To make this arraiw'rnept,
dispatches were sent by a flag of truce from Ton-
ningen to the unfortunate Monarch.in Heligoland.
A few days after his MMESTY applied for, -and was
furnished with, an armed British vessel to conduct
him to Tonningen, or some other Danish port,
whence he. was to proceed to Gottorp.

A letter from Liverpool, of the 16th, gives the
following information from America Two
British ships entered St. Andrew's Sound, in the
United States, instead of Amelia Island, and were
immediately taken possession of by two American
gun-brigs.

If what the American Papers state be true, C;e-
neral MIRANDA is still doomed to be the victim of
perverse fortune and of untoward circumstances.—
The Papei s which last arrived say, that this gal-
lant and philanthropic. General, after having been
very graciously received by the inhabitants, con-
tinued to evince the most ardent zeal for their
welfare ; but he was zealous over much. The peo-
ple suspected the motives of his zeal, and they came
to the conclusion, that because he was zealous
in their cause, he must be, forsooth, ambitious
—that he only wanted to prevail upon them to
raise him to the dignity of GOVERNOR of the
Provinces ! Howsoever uncharitable or unjust this
conclusion respecting MIRANDA'S motives may be
deemed, and we deem it both uncharitable and unjust
in the highest degree, it unfortunately had but too
,much effect. He was, say the American Journals,
suddenly deprived of the command which had pre-
viously been entrused to him.
Negotiations for a peace betty, en the Turks and
Russians are said to have been again renewed.
