Br the Venerable and Russel, which I.‘ave rrived
at Portsmouth from Sir J. SAIIMAREZ'.i Sql ladron,
we learn that that Admiral, with Ad: niral POLE
and their united Squadronj, was cruizip g oil Cadiz
on the 6th inst.

THE ifainbagh Mail due on Sunday null/. ed this
morning. It brings us from View:a, a n account of
the recognitior of the KING of ETR UR 1 as far as
the insertion `3l.iis name in the Court I :4azette can
be so considered.

According to the Brunn Gazette, the situation of
European Turkey becomes every day re ,ore critical,
from the progress of Insurre&ibn. It is stated that
the insurrection in Belgrade was not ; i partial at-
tempt, but clic consequence of a genera 1 system of
revolt.

Notwithstanding the precipitate and . angry de-
parture-of M. Vox DoHNt from Mims/. ?r, it does
not appear that any consequences had en sued as late
as the t zth inst.

The Citizens of the Batavian Republi c are to be
treated, as is usual with them every s ix months,
with a now Constitution. Our Reade rs, if they
have a taste for making Constitutions, will find it
gratified by the perusal. of the Hague art icle.
The Direetory and the Legislative Body are
aboli,hed, and in their stead, a State D ireetory is
to be appointed, consisting of r z persor Is, one ( )f
whom is to go out yearly; and a Legislative Bod y
of 35 Members.
An article from Lisbon, gives an account of a
Decree of.t.he PRINCE REGENT, by which Engli sh

OU '4 Readers will perhaps recollea, that a mei- 7C_
month ago, before the Meeting ef Parliament, we
gave our opinion at large on the high price of
Grain, in dire-{l: contradiaion to the - prey.
ing prejudices on the subjea ; an opinion wh ' tich
we had the satisfaaion to find, was, after v ery
minute investigation and mature considerat. ion,
adopted, and zaed upon by Committees of. i )otli
Houses of Parliament. We promise, that w hat_
ever sentiments we may entertain on any lues_
tion of importance, we will never. commit the 111 to
print till after thorough reule&ion ; and as- we t .pink
that the piainet and simplest reason will e> :plain
the causes why the price of Grain has not yt :t di-
minished so much as fully' to meet. the publi"-.c

peaition, considering that the abundance of the

late harvest is universally adtnirted, we shill • I pro-
' bably take the earliest opportunity of venfur ing to
express our Sentiments at large, on this in( ist im-
portant and interesting of all subjeas,.ane, without
any fear of risquing our credit with the Teablic,- by
encountering popular prejudice.

THE HAMBURGH MAIL.

VIENNA, SEPT. 12.

THE new Sovereign of Tuscany is now stiled
KING Of ETRURIA, in our Court Gazette.

The KING of ETRURIA has written a Letter to
the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY, in which he an-
nounces to him his accession to the Throne, and
communicates certain notices relative to the per-
sonal estates of the GRAND DUKE in Tuscany. No
formal renunciation of the Gram! Dutch), has, how,
ever, as yet taken place.

The Brunn Gazette says, the lisurreaion in Bel-
grade is only a part of a very extensive plan, as
the flames of Sedition broke out at tha same time near
Constantinople, at Adrianople, Philippopoli, Nissan
and other places, where the inhabitants rose upon
the Magistrates, and dividing into parties, fought
furiously with each other. Civil War appears likely
to become general throughout European Turkey.
The Commandant of Nina was obliged to fly. The
PACHA of BELGRADE, before the late cummotions
there, was much esteemed at Constantin ogle, and
appointed Seraskier by the Porte.

BANKS O.e THE MAINE, SEPT. 15.

THE IVesel Gazette says, the departure of M.
VON Doxm from Munster, was accompanied by
some remarkable occurrences.

According to Letters from. Munster of the ilth,
every thing was then quiet there.

MILAN, SEPT. 5.

THE French besieging. Troops at Porto Ferrajo
have ere6lcd three Batteries, one Qf which mounts
18 pieces of heavy artillery. Tilt:se have kept up
for the last eight days a very afiive and incessant
fire, and greatly damaged the tow n : they have also
sunk some of the Enemy's Ships in the Harbour.
defence of the Garrison is, however, still very
obstinate.

On the 26th of August, four English Frigates
cast anchor a second time befo re Piombino, and
landed some Troops there, who h ad an Engagement
with the Fiench Garrison, consist ing principally of
Poles. After the English-had colleded a consider_
able quantity of plunder, they returned to their
ships.

As several English Ships of Wait arc cruiziug be-
tween Leghorn and the Island of Elba, the two
French Irrigates which lie at Leghorn have not been
ablc to bail. for Elba; Admiral GANTHEAUME is,
therefore!, expeled from Toulon with four Ships of
the Lim! and land forces, to drive the English
Criizers away from Leghorn, and hasten the Sur-
render o f Porto Ferrol°.

HAGUE, SEAT. T 9.

SINCE : the last post-day, great changes, have
taken pl ace : the Legislative Body' has been dis-
solved b y the majority of the Direaory, and on the
Ist of C ktober a New Constitution will be presented
to the People for their acceptance; The following
are tly particulars of this affair :

Or I Wednesday last, the 16th inst. the DiredorY
sent , a Message to the First Chamber, together with
a C.-.:opy of the Proclamation which had boon prepared
on the 14th, and on the rph sent off .by Couriers
to all the Provincial Departinents, with the Plan of
the New Constitution which was to be laid before
the People for 'their sanction on the Ist of 9c..
tober. This Message was accompanied with a`Plan
.
of the. New Constitution; which had likewise been

sent the day before to every Member of the First
Chamber; The intention of the Direaory in this,
was- merely to inform .the Legislative Body. of
what it had done; and not in any manner to ask its
advict. On receiving the Message, the President,
VON SWINAUN, proposed that the Message, and
Papers accompanying it, t,hould be received as a.No-
tificatiOn.

ThTntirTeratis—Pditk which has constantly op-
posed. tiTe Direaory, and '4ny change in the Con-
stitution, objected with violence to this measure of
the Diredory, which they. considered 'as' uncon-
stitutional ; and after very warm debates,' re3olv-ed
by a majority of 28 agiinst 26, contrary to the
prouosal of the President, that the Message should
not be received as a 'Notification, but that a Corn.
mittee of nine members should be appointed to
examine the same, and consider in what manner
the Chamber should proceed.
• This Committee yesterday gave 'in its report,
which was 'favourable to the Diredory, proposing
that t he, Message should be accepted as a Notification,
and .the Plan of ,the New Constitution suffered to go,
to the People for their sanaion. But on this- occasion
likewise, the Opposition Party triumphed, .and'by
a Majority of "zi•against 25,.a Decree was adopted,
the substance' of which was, that the execution of
"the measure proposed ,by the Diredory should be
deferred.

It now remains to see what the Second Clam-
iaer will do, to which this Decree will to-day
be presented for its sanaion, and whether it will
unite with the First Chamber, to deprive the
DireElory of the power of introducing the New
Constitution by legal means. The Plan of the
New Constitution is already printed, and consists of
108 Articles. The Executive Direaory is to be
abolished ; and in its stead a State-Diredory
(Staats-biavind), instituted, to consist of twelve
Persons ; one to go out yearly. There is to be a
Legislative Body, consisting of thirty five Members.
The Territory of the Republic is to be divided
into eight Departments, whose Boundaries are to be
the same with those of the old Provinces.

P. S. This moment a Proclamation is published
by the Direaory, declaring the Legislative Body
dissolved, and inviting every Citizen to give his
vote relative to the New Constitution on the Ist of
Odober.

Those Members of the Legislative Body who op-
posed the proposition of the DireEtory, have been
arrested, and will be required to answer. The
Commandant of the Body Guard, who refused to
leave his post, has been put under arrest ; and the
Guard itself released from its oath, and disbanded.

LISBON, Auc. 24

THE PRINCE REGENT has published a Decree,
signifying that English ships will be permitted to
enter the Portuguese Harbours till the end of Sep-
tember, after which time they will be shut against
them. In consequence of this notice, the English
have shipped Port Wine on board all the Ve-sels
they could procure, to the amount of 54.,000 pipes.

The French Bishops held their final meeting on
Saturday last. Every one of them adhered to the
opinion which he gave before. The purport of
their deliberation was not upon the main ground of
the question, but upon the form in which the letter,,
containing the determination of each individual
should be couched. After a long debate, it was
definitively resolved to conform stri6tly to the me-
thod prescribed by the POPE. All these Prelates
were yesterday to deliver to Mr.-ERSKINE their
different letters.

To the seventeen Bishops who composed the first
meeting, is to be added the Bishop of RHODES, who
has just arrived from Scotland. The Bishop of
TROTIS, who was on an excursion in Holland, did
not arrive till Sunday. His opinion, long known
from a publication, is in favour of their resigning.
Thus, amongst nineteen French Bishops who have
taken. refuge in London, fi•zre are decidedly con-
formists. .

There are six Bishops in France, all.of whom are
known to be conformists—the Bishops of MAR-
SEILLES, Of .NISMES, Of ST. MALO, Of ANGERS,
Of SENLIS, and of ALAIS.. Without the realm of
France, and on the Continent, we may reckon
among the conformists, the Archbishop's of Aucx,
TOULOUSE, TR EVES, and CAMBRAI, and the
Bishops of LONGkES, LACON, AMIENS, and several
others.

Thus it appears, • that of the 84 French Bishops
alive, there are eighteen known conformists.

Letters received yesterday from Yorkshire, men-
tion' that' some aftive agents still continue 'about
that County, endeavouring to disturb -the public
mind. It appears .that a private meeting of Dee-
gates,
of what are called United Englishmen, was
•
.held on Sunday se'nnight; at the public-house. on
Hartshead Moor, not far from HalifaX They
Camein by one, or two at a time, and ordering
liquor, 'waited till a person arrived, who :had 'a
handkerchief full. of letters or tickets, which on
getting into an inner room,. he began .to. direet,
when the Landlord intimating that he could not
allow any, thing of that kind,tO be carried on there,
they begged to be allowed to stop only half an liour,
promising not to come. any more. This indulgence
:being refused, they immediately left the house, and
finished 'their business under a hedge by the road
side. •

" We are credibly- informed (says the Halifax
journal) that it is not intended by the fomenters of
Sedition to. have any more public meetings for the
present, but that they are very diligently employed
in classing and. organizing themselves in. their pri-
vate assemblies: It. would be well for all Con-
stables stables-and Police Officers to keep on the, alert, to
deteft these people in their places of resort, as we
have reason to believe their meetings are not un-
frequent. We have strong' reason to believe that a
meeting was lately held at a•house near Cleck Heaton,
and others at some places in that neighbourhood."
The French Government having, on the Anni-
versary of the foundation of the Republic, given
games, at which all the Citizens of the Great Nation
who were in Paris, had liberty to be present, gratis,
the Printers of Newspapers thought proper to take
their share in the diversionF„ which lasted during the
greater part of the night of the 23d.. From the im-
possibility of procuring the requisite number of
hands, the Parisian Journalists were compelled to
print their paper of ,the 2.4. th, on the preceding
day. It will, therefore, only be in the 'papers of
the zsth, that we shall receive a detail of the Re-
publican ceremonies which :took place on the 23d.
It appears, however, certain,' that nothing of im-
portance either with resped to France or to its
conneetions with the other Powers, has been mingled
with the. festivity. -
It is rather singular to observe how the Writers
-in the pay of France (on the other side of the wat:
ter) sometimes let the truth slip out. ". The
Squadron Of q,ANTHEAUM,E, " says the Clef du
Cabinet, " fortunately got out of Brest and escaped
the pirsgit of the Division of CAA„DER." The,
Squadron with which GA:NTIIIP.AUM,4 so heroically
ran away, consisted of SeVen Sail of; the Line, and
the Squadron, the pursuit of which• he so fortienately
escaped,. was cxadly
,of equal farce,
