We had numerous *Peals yesterday ; arming
them a►e his Highness of Rottenherg and the
Princess his wife, from Ostend, with his suite, the
Duke of Saxe Weimar, Count Schorewalutf, Adju-
tant-General of the Emperor of Russia, and his
Countess, with their son, coming from Paris, and
on their way to Aix-la-Chapelle ; Mr. Moran(' bear-
ing dispatches of his Britannic Majesty, for Brince
Esterhazy, from London.

They write from Charleroi, says one of our
Journals, that the angle of the bastion called La
Iteine. which was erected ■t a great expense lut
year, fell down ten or twelve days ago, and that the
whole bastion will soon share the same fate. The
Corps de Garde in the lower town, and several
other stooks of equally recent date, also threaten to
fall to ruins.

During the pleadings of the Counsel of the
Duke of Wellington, one of them gave notice that
an action fur calumny irnul,l be brought against
the Editor of the English J 'mtal called the Phi-
husihropia.—(Oracle. July 30.)
♦IENNA. JULY 19.

The last accounts from Constantinople say, that
Boron St►ogonotf delivered, on the 4th of May,
another urgent note to the Divan. in which he re-
capitulates all the claims of Russia on the Porte.
Respecting the affairs of Servia, M. De Strogonoff
communicates the intention of hie Sovereign► to send
Commissioners to Servia to inquire whether the
Treaty of Bucharest has been carried into full
and entire execution. A new negociotion is also
to be opened. Russia pretends to haves after
the last Treaty of Peace, an influence over the
administration of Moldavia and Wallachia. The
Russian Court has in consequence delivered to
the Hospodar of Wallachia a memorial, in which he
complains, in the name of his Sovereign, that
contrary to the Treaty ass impost of two millions
of piastres has been laid upon the pri►►cipality.
The Hospodar of 'Wallachia has returned this note
to the Russian Consul without giving an answer
to it. The latter has informed M. de Strogonoff,
who has applied to the Porte upon the subject.—

" PENSACOLA, MAY 29, 11318!

e, Major-General Andrew Jackson has found it
necessary to take possession of Pensacola. He has
not been promptest to this measure from a wish to
extend the territorial limits of the United States, or
from any uufrirodly feeling on the part of the
American Republic to the Spanish Government.
The Seminole Ind►ans inhabiting the territories of
Spain have for more than two years past visited
our frontier settlers with all the horrors of savage
massacre, helpless women have been butchered mud
the cradles stained with the blood of innocence ;
these atrocities, it was expected, would have early
attracted the attention of the 51
pionioh Government,
and, faithful to existing treaties, speedy measures
adopted fur their supine' .
" The obligation to restrain !herd was acknow.
ledge'l, but we►kness was alleged, with a confer..
s that so far fron► being able to control, the Spa-
nish Authorities were often compelled, from policy
sir necessity, to issue Munitions of war to these
savages, thus enabling, if not exciting, them to
raise the tomahawk against us. The immutable
law of self-dtfetice, therefore, compelled the Ame-
rican Government to take possession of such parts of
the Floridas in vil.ick the Spanish Authority could
not be►oaintained: I'e►►aacota was found in this situa-
!ion, and will be held until Spain tau furnish suf-
licieut ►nilitary strength to enforce existing treaties,
