'`I73STERT)I,Y we rceeived Paris 10V•vals.to the
Alt instant inclusive. They conorm, by- very
tfireided evidence; the accounts which we gave in a
crirtr.er nyer reVeaing the declining pw,yer of the
Turkish. Empire. The. feeble efforts which the
G.-)ver.rgAle,nt of that Country has employed to re..
no,:tate its thority over Egypt, ha've.been ticolo-
paitied by measures- which strongly mark the rude

barbarism or its Agents, and the its
.power.. imbecility
0
power.. Assassination and the violation of plighted
faith, are indubitable proofs of this truth. And
althoUgh the GI,AND VIZIR has succeeded in pro..
curing'a momentary submisSion from the Beys, yet,
we must attribUte this xeconciliation. rather, to the.
generous and spirited humanity of Lord HUTCH I N-
so 11, than to any i.rineiple'of .distributive justice on
the part of the Ottoman Chiefs. Our. Readers will
find the details of this event in a subsequent Column :
and they will find them worthy of the greatest atten-
tion, if they consider, as-we do; the tottering suite'
Of Turkey,. and the temptations it holds out for am-
bitious enterprize, as well as for the gra' tificaiion cf
inordinate cupidity.

The Ft itst CONSUL arrived at Lyons, on the i t th
instant, at nine o'clock at night, and was received
with the greatest ecstasy by the people. On the
next day he gave audience to the Prefetas of all the
Southern Departments, and to the Consulta of the
Cisalpine Republic, with whom- he had a long con-
ference, in which he strenuously recommended to
their notice, the conservation of Property and Re-
ligion.

By the Treaty between Spain and France, which
we have inserted in another part of this Paper, our
Readers will find the information which we gave
them some time ago, respelling the renunciation of
the Duke of PARMA, to be fully corroborated.
The inundations continue to ravage the Southern

Ambuscade Frigate spoke the Sans'Parcil, an Eng.'
-lisp trader, from Port-au-Prince, bound to King-
ston, and learnt from her Master; that MOYS E,
who headed the late revolt in that Island, had been
tried by the Military Tribunal, found guilty of in-
surreCtion against the Governnient, and had been
blown from the mouth of a cannon ; that ToussA
had laid a duty of zo per cent, on all exports, and
that his Treasury was supposed to be very rich.

The last advices from Bombay confirm the ac.
count of the Duel at that Presidency, which ended
so fatally to Mr. FO and produced a sentence
of transportation for fourteen years to Lieut. BEL.

first punishment of the kind under the new'Coutt of

We have much pleasure in announcing the receipt
of intelligence, that a detachment from Colonel
STEPHENSON'S Army •have gained a signal viaory
over a vast body of the insurgent Poligars at the
Eastern foot of the Gaits : this anion took place
early in August, but the particulars have not trans-
pired:
The RANNEE, or Princess of Delle, who we some
time since mentioned to have been confined at Din.
digul by the India'Company, on suspicion of ,hav_
ing assisted the. insurgent Poligars, offered, as
her ransom, a lac of pagodas, and a very con-
siderable yearly tribute in the event of her .being
restored to her sovereignty. This unfortunate
Princess like Wise engages to give up those who
seduced her to hostility to the Company; and make
the surrender of her country to them the conse-
quence of any future misconduct on her part. These
terms, however, have not been accepted ; ias, prior
to any accommodation, we understand it is insi-
nuated, that her condua shall undergo an investi-
gation bef4e the' Supreme Government of Bengal.

THE THEATRE.—After the representation' of
The Wheel of Fortune, in which KEMBLE displayed
his usual excellence in the amiable misanthropy of
Penruddock, the new entertainment of Urania,
or The Illumine was repeatednn Saturday at Drury-
Lane Theatre, and received with great applause by
a very numerous audience. We have no occasion to
retraa the favourable report which we gave of this
Piece, and we are glad to find that a produftion re-
commended by simplicity and elegance is able to
make such an impression, upon a Public whose taste
has been too much corrupted by the extravagance
and' buffoonery of most modern compositions of the
dramatic kind. The passage respecting Bank notes,
~which excited "a little displeas-ure on the first re-
presentation, was omitted on Saturday, and the
Dialogq4.,Scenety;____Music, and Aging all past
off .with eclat. A: apple, which was thrown
upon the Stage, was so prOdu&ive of joking be-
tween BANNISI;Ei, Jun. and SUETT", that it was
diffifult to consider it as the fruit of the moment,'
and might induce a suspicion that the e,,yce
.was
furnished by some cqZ144,.; fonfede;-ate in the G•alc.ty.

moved from Fart St, George to Belfast, were, on

I have honour the to enclose a Copy of a Lettor
receivd from Mr. Robert Hayer; .Maitor's_inate of
His Majesty's Sloop Curacoa, under my comniand,
and, serving on board His Majesty's .Armed Tender
Pickle, attached to that ship.
I beg leave to inform you that the. Pickle has
been refitted and sailed up:m a cruize.
I have the flOnour to be, &c. &e:

SIR, Harbour, Oaober 13, 1 bpi .

I beg leave-ro inform you, that on the 25th ult.
eleven A. M. Isle of Ash (St. Domingo), bearing
N. W. distance five or six miles, being on the star-
board tack, a -strnge, sail was discovered under the
land bearing down ,upodus with an. English Ensign
flying.
When within pistol-shot of the Pickle, the Enerny
hoisted Spanish Colours,' and commenced an action
Which continued with a brisk fire from both sides
for an hour .and a quarter, when they attempted to
board, but without effed ; finding themselves foiled
in this they hauled their wind, and made sail from
:us : we wore.and stood after them, but, to my great
mortification, they. were so much our superior in
sailing, that, after a cline of one hour and.a half,
I found it fruitless to continue it. • .

It is with extreme regret that I am to inform you
Lieutenant Greenshields was killed' forty minutes
after the commencement of the aelion, having re-
Ceived a musket ball through his body.
Our sails and rigging have suffered a good deal;
and I am sorry to add that Mr. Pearce, Midship.
man, with seven men and myself were wounded.
From the great superiority of the Enemy's Force
to ours, the Pickle only hating thirty-five' men,
(including officers and boys, and of these three were
rendered unserviceable through sickness), I hope
*the exertions used during the afflon,-as well as those
made to come up with'the Enemy, will meet your
approbation. • • •
The
,Enemy was a large Schooner-rigged Vessel,
mounting two 'twelve and two nine-pounders, and
manned with about seventy men ; and I imagine
must have heenaFrench or Spanish Privateer,

I haye the Honour. to tie, &c:c.
