mark the sericubness and sincerity of the intentions
with the execution of which a Minister may be
charged.

By the Anholt Mail received on Friday, we learn
that the progress made by the Turks in Wallachia had
induced General KUTUSOW to draw reinforcements

from the Dniester, from the banks of the Knieper,
and other parts of the Russian Empire, together
with the reserve from Moldavia, with a view to de-
feat the designs of the GRAND VIZIEIt against Walla-
chia. One of these corps, consisting of 20,000
men, had been unexpectedly countermanded, and
ordered to march back into Podolia. The obvious
inference from this retrograde movement of a
corps of troops previously supposed to be neces-
sary to give effect to the operations of the Rus-
sian Army against the Turks, is, that the state
of the discussions with France indicated an ap-
proaching rupture, and that the corps counter-
manded would be necessary to support the Russian
Army in Poland.
A Mail was received from Heligoland on Fri.
day, but it has brought only a melancholy ac-
count of the dismal effects of a violent gale, which
came on after a dead calm on the preceding day, on
the 20th ult. Three vessels were wrecked ; much
damage was sustained by the houses on shore, and
his Majesty's frigate Horatio narrowly and provi-
dentially escaped the fate of the vessels that were
lost. For the particulars of this melancholy occur-
rence, we refer to the statement received by the
Mail.

We are sorry to learn, what we are unwilling
to believe, that the contagious disease, which has
been so long raging in Carthagena, has made its
appearance in the crews of one or. more of the
British ships of war- in the Mediterranean.

A Letter from Malta, of the 18th September,
states, that a serious insurrectionary disturbance had
then lately taken place in Tunis, upwards of 1000
of the Tunissian troops had revolted, and were
proceeding to the most wanton and barbarous ex-
cesses, when a British Midshipman put himself at
the head of an adequate nainber of Arab troops,
and, in a short time, restored perfect order and
tranquillity.

A Gentleman who has just arrived from Hum-
burgh brings information that the Westphalian
Army consists of about 80,000 men, who are so
disaffected to the present system, that they have
frequently discovered a disposition. to • disobey the
orders of their Officers, a circumstance which has
considerably alarmed the Government, and in-
duced it to have recourse to the expedient of calling
in of some auxiliary means to crush this rising dis-
position of the troops of Westphalia.
We have the pleasure to state, that letters have
been received at Plymouth from Captain HAWKER,
Of the Melampus, which .had gone ashore on the
coast of Nova Scotia, and was afterwards got off

refitted from his damages, and was all ready fcr
sea, and would sail on • the 6th of October from
lialifazi and thence for England.

It is expected that the PRINCE REGENT will re.
view the Ist battalion of the old 42d, or Royal
Highlanders, before he returns to town. Their
gallant Colo Del, the Marquis of HuNTLY, is ax•
pected from Scotland on the occasion. He is -now
nearly quite recovered from his severe wounds re-
ceive d in Holland.

It is reported that the embarkation of a brigade
of cavalry, and of two brigades of infantry, in-
tended for Lord WELLINGTON'S Army, has been
suspended for the present. Some General Officers
and Staff intended for his Lordship are stopped
for the present. It will be seen that the destination
of one General Officer, General NPFARLANE, has
been altered : he is gone to Sicily.

Notwithstanding their late, reverses, the Catalo-
nians continue to Display the most ardent patriotism ;
being in arms wherever they can provide themselvet
with them. Baron D'Etiot.Es has . been appoint•
ed Captain-General of the principality, in lieu of
General LAcEx. Previous to this change, the body
of men under the General's command, which by
his last dispatch amounted only to 1100 men, had
been increased to 3000. It was expected that the
French Would turn their arms against Cardona, the
strongest place left in the hands of the Patriots in
that part of the Peninsula.

five Catholic Deputies who were arrested on the
Chief Justice's Warrant would be tried by the
Commission now sitting in -Dublin—while Lord
FINGAL and Mr. BARNWAI,I4 would he brought be.

filed against the Printers. They are doubtful before
what 'cribunal they are to be arraigned, or in what
f.)rrn.

We copy the following paragraph from a con-
temporary print, without vouching for the cor.
rectness of the statement :
" There has been for some days the rumour of an offer of
marriage by an illustious Duto: to the beautiful heiress Mill
TYLNXY LONG. The gallant lover has paid his suit to the
Lady with the magnificence and ardour of an English tar ; and
it is said that he has proposed to apply to Parliament for a Bill
to alter and amend the Royal Marriage Act, which the present
state of all the dynasties of Europe would, perhaps, make it
advisable to do. Certainly it would be a most promising means
of securing the lineal succession of the Crown in the present
august family."

A ship, with a full cargo of Holland's gin, has
arrived within these few days, which has caused
very general conversation and dissatisfaction among
the merchants in the City of London, as it was not
known that a lieense for the importation of such an
article had been granted. Upon inquiry respecting
gr.inting the license, we 'Understand, it is said to
have been•dOile by. mistake.
