SEMLIN, JAW. 6.— AU the troops which are form-
ing are to assemble in Southern Bulgaria, near
Schumla. It is with reaaon that -this position is re-
gaided as one of the bulwarks of the Empire : it is
prote6.led by inaccessible mountains, into. which no
foreign army has ever yet been able to penetrate.

A considerable corps of Janissaries, and some,
other troops which were here, have received orders
to proceed by forced marches to Schurnla.

GOTTENBURGH, FEB. ;.—Letters from Stock-
holm speak of war between this country and France
as very probable. They state that Government only
waits the answer to the disn2lehrg g,nt by Couriers
to London and Paris, to determine what measures
shall be adopted in consequence of the French ir-
ruption into Swedish Pomerania, and it is further
said that Government has declared that, after this
violation on the part of the Fiend}, it considers all
engagements with them at an end; and' no longer
bound to shut their ports against 'England.
It is reported that the French hive seized to or 12
Swedish vessels in aantzic, and that. it is their in-
tention to occupy all the Prussian coasts as far as
Memel. Gen. Piron, Commandant of the Swedish
troops in Pomerania, has been ordered into arrest,
and is to proceed to Stockholm to account for not
having opposed the entrance of the French at Stral-
sund and Rugen.

The Crown Prince of Sweden, Bernadotte, has,
in he Stockholm Papers, of the 19th Febroary, ex-
pressed his Swedish Majesty's satisfaaion to the
Governors, of sundry, districts, for the zeal and ac-
tivity by them shewn in carrying the Orders fot fill-
ing up the Army into execution.

GOTTENBURGH, FEE. 17.—0 n the night of the
toth instant, a lugger carrying one 18-pounder, 12.
.swivels, and 38 men, with four boats carrying
men each, commanded by Lieutenant Falbi, sailed'
from Fladstrand for the purpose of cutting out the
Earl of Leicester and Lord Dzaacan packets from.
Wargo, but were fortunriely prevented entering
that harbour by tempestbous weather, in which the
lugger lost her foremast, and was otherwise so much
damaged, that she was obliged to throw all her
guns, ammunition, provisions, and even ballast
overboard ; the whole got back with much diffiuclty,
and ran ashore eight miles from Fad Strand. The
Lieutenant had obtained every possible information
respeaing' the situation and means of defence ,of
the packets. An embargo was laid eight days pre-
vious to his sailing.

The Danes are said to be meditating an attack
'upon ,Anholt.

The Agire sloop of war carns in on Tliursd,l,
and sailed again yesterday.

A frigate has
.corne in to-day, supposed to be
La Loire.

GOTTENBURGH, FEB. 24.--General Piron, who
was ordered to Stockholm, to take his trial for not
defending Stralsund, is supposed to be on
"his way
to Paris.

The Swedish Government has published that the
French entered Stralsund in a friendly, manner, the

pat4tolars of •t'lliel); as Well as tl-e insirtAiont
that had 1.-eeh given to i 1 CdiLrtiandant to defeat
the places will be laid before the puttilic as soon
possible.

A letter has to•dar bee7i received heie; • positively
stating, that war had been declared by Frande again.loi
Russia.

STOCK ITOLM, FEB. Royal Majesty hp
received informatipn of French troops having,
on the 27th of .1.-muary, entered Swedish Pome-
rania, tinder promise of continuing an annicahig
Condu6l.

The rarticulars respeCting this march are daily
expeEted. When.reeeivtd, they shall be circum-
stantially laid before the public, together with the
instraetions given in every particular case, to the
Commander of the Swedish troops in Pomerania.
Faa. t4.---The Diet of Sweden-is to "meet on the
4thof April, in consequence of an order issued by
his Majesty on the 23d tilt. This is an Extraordi-
nary Diet, as the laws of Sweden only allow of the
assembly- once in three. yvar3.

The Swedish troops in Porntrania will, it is sup..
posed, be allowed .to return home, and ships for
their conveyance are ready to be sent from Carlshans
and Ystadt.

The Prussian troops are to be immediately placed
upon the war establisment.

Since the English fleet s:tiled from -the Cattert,
privateers have become more daring and numerous.
A lugger, with so men, has been lying in the roxi,
about 70 miles (English) to the sotthward, for se'
veral days.

BUDA, JAN. 17.-It is reported to have been sqes
pulated,-that the suspension of arms shall continue
till the negociations commenced at Bucharest shall
produce a definitive result, and that in case peace
should not take place, a month's notice steal
be given before the recommencement of hostilities.
The negociations have, it is true, commenced.
but it is at present impossible to form any positive
opinions respeEling the turn they may take, be-
cause every thing is inveloped in the most profound

mystery. 0 /
The Russian head-quarters will remain, at Bu-
charest. Gen. Sass' will return, with his corps,
which hats hitherto formed the right wing of at;
Russian Army, to the interior of Wallachil.
Gen. Count Langeron is to remain at Guer.;ewo,
where the troops under his orders will form a liivd

of observation.
,Gen. Marko w's bead-quarters are to- be tray' E-.!-•

(erred to .183tiy;
JAL 27.—We have just received recent intelli-
gence from several parts of Turkey, .from which it
appears that all the accounts of the recommence-
ment of hostilities, arid of a battle having beets
fought in the vicinity.of Rudschuck, are mere fa-
bles inventedby speculators. The fact is, that the
Grand Vizier is still in RndSchuck, and the corps
(far/rule shut up with him in that place. This corvs
need have no uneasiness concerning its subsi>tences
as the armistice has been renewed.

There only remain some thousands of meet upon
the right Bank of the Danube. The want of forage
and provisions is the reason why a great part si
lids army takes its winter quarters behind the line,
namely, in Moldavia and Bessarabia.
'JA3SY, JAN. B,—We know nothing respeaing
the negociations for peace. It is generally supposed
Peace will be published on the first of next tumult.
The reports respeaing the conditions of peace vary
extremely.
BUCHAFIV.T, JAN. 12 —The Iltissian army log
sepalated, to take up winter quarters, which hags
been greatly extended.---General Markow is,' will;
his corps, gone to Moldavia ; that under Genera
Sass, which has hitherto been in Lowtr Wallachia,
has approached our tciWn.—Several Generals and
superior Officers have demanded and obtained leave
of absence.
The Corresponclenten of the 4th February, after
accusing the British of landing soldiers on the coast,
and being guilty of great barbarities, proceeds as
follows :—" What will the English Journalis!s re.•
ply to this new unequalled, aa of barbarity ? Their
denying of it is, natural ; who would dare to avow
such atrocities ? But they are but too true, as the
most incredulous may convince themselves."

The Comtnander in Chief in India, Lieutenant.,
General HEiNITT, may soon be expeaed in this
country, as he had taken his passage in the Rose,
C.ipt. SASDILANDS, and was to sail the first week
in December last. •
The new Comet passed Aldeberan in Taurus,
about the 15th January, and was then advancing',
northward, nearly at the rite of a degree per day,
It was very faint,.and is supposed lo have passed its-
perihelion. The great Comef of 1811 can(tio longer
be discerned with glasses,

4GGREGAM .11PETING

OF TIIE CATIIdLICS OF IRELAND.

This day an Aggregate Meeting was held in the
Private Theatre; Fishamble-streets. The doors
Were not opened until past twelve o'clock, in con-
sequence of which, the avenues leading thereto ap-
peared much crowdei ; the rush to obtain admis-
lion upon the opening of the doors was extreme.
At about a quarter past one Lord FINGAL was, upon
the motion of Mr. BARNEWALL, called to the
When his Lordship had taken the chair,
there WaSa loud and general burst of applause. His
Lordship, in proceeding to state the. business of
the Meeting,- apologised for
.having detained them
so long,
brit he hoped hit- their excuse, when he
-*toted, that the cause of the delay was the business
of the Meeting : every one present was aware of the
ajeet for which 'they assembled, namely, to petition
the Legislature, -and to address his Royal Highness
the PRANCE REGENT.
4-Mr. BARNEWAL' L then' addressed his Lordship.
Ne said.he rose. to present to his Lordship and the
lieeting at large," a draft of an Address to his
Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT; and also a
draft of a pet,tiOn to both Houses or P.-It-fiat-mut,
praying a repeal of the Penal LaWs Which bind the
Catholics of Ireland.—When -the Catholics met last
id
-Aggregate Meeting, they dire Ced the Gentle-
men composing .the-Catholic Board to draw up this
Petition sand Address. He co-old not sufficiently ex-

Press the praise that was due to the Gentlemen of
that Board ; but he was well aware that their ar-
dour in the Catholic cause would demand no other
reward than the approbation of that meeting. He

.would not •attempt to prdace the read►ng of the
4.04-Tess and Petition by anticipating its contents ;
but Would move, that the wortliy Secretary, Mr.
/Jay, shouldread:the draft _of the Address.
Air. 'dm( then read the Address--it was in sub-

stance as follows-:
The Catholics of Ireland humbly approached his
Royal Highness, as the guardian or the honour,
safety, and welfare of the Empire--frotn the confi-
dence which the People of Ireland entertained in
.his Royal Highness, that he would endeavour to
Lave an entire repeal of those penal laws under
Which the Catholics of Ireland still laboured—that
they had taken all the oaths prescribed to them by
the Legislature, and were always ready to take any
°li)er, but those that interfered With their religious

tenet?, and, that although this was the case,-yet they
Were still proscribed from the participation of the
blessings of the constitution, Unless they took oaths
utterly incompatible with their religious principles ;
and that they do not take those oaths,' skew
their res P e a for the moral and sacred obligation of
an oath. And they most humbly trust that the decla-
rations of the professors of their doctrines, may be
•considercd as sat:sfaaory against the
.insinuations
Which had been thrown out against their faith and
loyalty :—that the frequency with which the Le-
gislature of Ireland bore testimony of their peace-
able condua, steady allegiance, and respect for
the laws of their country; entitled them to the
• onfilence of the Throne and Parliament. Yet
still 'Penal -Laws -were in force against them, and
still they laboured under disabilities on account of
• their adherence to their religious opinions. That
within this twenty years, the'people of every coon-
try in the world were released from the chain
'with which -they were fettered, on account of re-
- ligious principles, tut the Catholics of Ireland.—
That at this moment their Protestant brethren had
tot only come forward to bear testimony of their
• loyalty, but had joined together for the purpose of
Petitioning in their behalf—that the Penal Laws
operated-for no useful purpose ; they were not for •
'the good of either Church or State, for neither
Would be injured by their repeal ; they were only
for the purpose of creating disunion in the breasts
'Of the inhabitants of •this country. That perhaps
tlo nation ever witnessed such disabilities cruel in
• their operation, and grievous in their effect. That
the Catholics had always come fOrward properly
and- consittitionally to' petition for a participation
of those natural rights to which every man born
under the British Constitution had a claim ; and
that they could have no sinister n.ioti‘e in view ;
-=—that their rank, property, and' numbers,' must
slim to all mankind that they only wished to
. nand erect among their fellow-citizens unbent
by any deprivation of distinaion, arising from dif-
ference of opinion : that they were taught by the
British Constitution, that property entitled them to
rank ; and they wish for nothing more than the
blessings of the Constitution, the attainment of
which would be of the greatest benefit to that Con-
stitution, and that the safety of the Island- depend-
ed •on it, for that the same enthusiasm could not be
expelled from men in their restri&ed condition, as
- if equally free with their Protestant fellow subjects,
and that tank, wealth, property, and numbers, ought
to serve as a conclusive argument against their being
s!;bjetit to suspicion ; and that they therekre pray
that his Royal Highness will be
,iL4s.ed to send a

NieSsa.ge to both Louses of Parliament; requesting
a Repeal of those Laws which attect ,the Roman
Catholic People of Ireland.
The question on the Address was then moved and
carried unanimously.

The Petitions was stated to be the same' in sub-
stance as the Address; it was carried unanimously.
Mr. BURKE then moved several resolutions, which
were seconded by Major BRIAN.
The first was expressive of the confidence with
which the Board was held, instituted, by a Resolu-
tion of the Aggregate Meeting of the gthofJuly.

The second Resolution was a vote of Thinks to
these who declined all power and emolument (Lords
GREY and GRENVILLE), for the Catholic Cause.

The other Resolutions were Votes of Thanks to
Lord Glentworth, and the liberal Protestants of
Iteland=a Resolution empowering the Board to
raise money—and another, requesting every Parish
in Ireland- to petition Parlia►nent and to Address
the Prince Regent, according to the advice of
a Member of the House of Commons, IA ho desired

them to block up C alton-House with Delegate's,
and to load the Table of
.the House of Commons
with Petitions, until their c!aiins.were satisfied.

• The Speakers were Lord Fingal, Mr. Barne-
wall, Mr. Lawler, Counsellor Scully, Mr. Burke,
Major Brian, Mr. Sullivan, 'Counsellor O'Connell,
Counsellor Finn, Mr. Wyse, Lord Glentworth,
Counsellor Allen, Mr. Shelly, Counsellor McNally,
Mr Bennet. and the Hon..ChMes Ffrench, Who
moved the thanks of the Meeting to Lord Fingal,
'which was carried unanimously amid reiterated
applause.

Yesterday Lord SOMERVILLE and the Honourable
ROBERT'F. GREvILLE attended in waiting, at St.
James's Palace, for the first ti trie since their appoint-
ment under the Wind,orestabl'isheoent. _

Saturday morning a ComMittce of Lords of the
Council inrt at the Conned Chamber, Whitehall,
to !rear ,nd determine appeals. It was ,Mended by
the MASTER Of the ROLLS, btr WILLIAM SCOTT,
Sir JOBN MCHOL, &c. -

aiternoon Lord CASTLEREAGH attended at
the Foreign Office, for the first time after having
received the appointment to that office by the PRINCE
REGENT. His Lordship deposited the seals there,
and aiterwards left town....

A mail arrived on Saturday from Jamaica, with
letters auri. papers to the 20th of January. A pro-
clamation had been issued by the Ge' eruor, pm-
hibitiog foreigners from landing on the island, ex-
cept at Kingston ; and ' direEting that, pies ions to
disembarking, the masters of the vessels in which
they arrive, shall answer on oath to such questions
as the officer of the poliCe may propose, and that
each individual shall provide some respeaable free-
holder as a surety, in sum of 5001. for - his good be-
haviour during.hia stay.
The Kipg of Prussia it is said has •fallen into a
deep: melancholy, and the death of his amiable and
lovely consort is considered as the. cause. Doubtless,
the loss of such a domestic ally must be a source of
great anxiety ; but surely the wretched condition to
which his own powerful Kingdom is reduced, and
his own precarious fate, dependant on the nod of a
low Upstart, who seems to feel pleasure in_
degrading established rank and anthority, and in
bending the vassal potentates of Europe to his yoke,
will sufficiently account tor- the unfortunate Mo.
narch's dejeaion. Nor can it be an alleviation of
his distress, that the other legitimate Sovereigns of
the- Continent are brought to the same degraded
state, since it affords DO ' prospe,!..l .of relief from
union and a resolute struggle to throw off their
ignominious bondage. •
!' JOHN WESLEY, many years ago, amidst much fa-
naticism, gave some cogent, and' indeed irresistible,
arguments against the removal of all civil restrictions
from the Roman Catholics. It might be very pro-
per to republish what he then urged.upon this mo-
mentous subjeo, particularly as many of the dis-
senters of the present -day seem very much in-
clined to favocir the Catholic pretensions. Civil
restriEtions, are all that the Catholics can wish to
have removed, as, in point of religions toleration,
they are as much at liberty as if their religious tenets
were the. national faith. Not religion then, EPA
political ambition must be the chief motive of ac-
tion with the-Catholics, and to open the door to all
the officers of the State, without consenting to give
such pledges as the national security demandso,Vould
be to despise the wisdom of our ancestors, and
to sport with the Constitution for which they bled,
and which has 'rendered us an object of admiration
and envy to the people of every other State-
Mrs. SinpoNs is followed in Edinburgh with
as much zeal as in the zenith of her theatrical
career, and the critics of that city,- who are by
no means wanting in acumen, taste, and discern-

meat, declare that she is now superior in acting to
what
:she ever was, alleging that the fire of her
genius has not been damped by time, but burns
with a more steady lustre.

• Notwithstanding the abundance of change at
present hi the naetropolts, it is, in many parts of the
country, extremely scarce. At Bath, the chief sup-
ply is in 4s. 2s. and pieces, coined, by individuals
who find no unprofitable traffic in this dangero►:s
circulation of base money. Much inconvenience
