CONSTANTINOPLE, (:kil 28.

The following is the Note which the Porte de.
livered to the Ambassadois of the two Belligerent
Poweri, and the other Foreign Ministers, on the
loth inst.

In she War by sea and land, which began be.
tween France and England in the year of-the-Hegira
tio7 (1792), the Porte,which was in friendship with
both Powers, and neutral, signified its resolution by
a Note, that the Ships of the said PoWers should
not molest or attack each other on• the Coasts of
the Ottoman Empire, under the cannon of the For-
tresses of Asia or Europe, •or the Islands of the
White Sea, or at a lets distance from land than three
miles; and that. the respedive Consuls should use
every. exertion to restrain those who would make
such attacks in the vicinity of the. harbours. It
was then .resolved, and the Ordinance is now re-
newed, that the striaest inquiries ! should be
made' to arrest and punish • such SubjeCts of the
torte as should engage,. to serve on board P'ri-
vatee'rs. No Mussulrnan, who is a Subject, shall
ernbaik any commodities on board the Ships of the
Said Powers, without being provided with the no,
cessary documents from their respetiive Consuls.
When an engagement shall take place between the
Ships of the Belligerent Powers, no Captain of'
Turkish Ship of War, 'puny other Turkish Subjects
shall= interfere in favour of either of the parties..
A.nd' as the Sublime Porte, in the new war
which has 'commenced between France and Eng.
land, 'pal determined .to abide by the same sys-
tem of neutrality between• the English Court
and. the French Republic,' it has transmitted
the ordinance. necessary for that purpose to His
Highness the Capitan Pasha ; and it will. also 14e
communicated in writing' to all the Foreign Mini-
sters."

• The . Fleet of the Capitan Pasha, according to
the last aceotinti, was at the Island of Chio.

PETERSBURCUT, SEPT. 30.

Tit* Chtmcellor Count VioxoNzow. has been for
some time indisposed i we are assured that his bro_
Cher, now Ambassador at. London, wilt return to
assist him in the management of pUblic affairs.
It is likewise asserted as certaiia, that M. MAR..
inrr, the Russian Ambassador at Paris, will be
recalled, and receive a place in the Council of State,
with the Cross of Andrew.

PARIS, OCT. 25.

Airs a noticing the explanatory Convention con.
eluded between this CoUntry and Russia at Pe-
teraburgh, on the 20th of O6tober 8o r, .the Mo.
nit's& observes upon it in the following manner.:
The third Article .of the last Treaty excepts
Enemy's property from the exemption stipulated in,
favour of merchandize under a Neutral Flag.--,
Thus with one dash of the pen has been thrown into
oblivion the most important of the principles pro.-
'claimed by the Convention of 1780, and consecrated
by the general' assent of the Continental Nations.
The fourth Article subjeas Convoys to the right of
visit, and regulates the details of the mode in which
it is to be exercised.

Sweden and Denmark acceded, in 1802, to the
Couvention of i7th June, 1801. The ENtrgßoß
adhered to it by the 7th Article of his Declaration
of the 7th of August last.
" It is lamintable that die Powers of the North
should be obliged -to abandon a principle whicb
hitherto had appeared to them so important for
the interests of commerce and the navigation of
neutral States—that by which the fag coven' the

44 We may suppose, thst when these rowers con-
sentedto the visiting of Convoys, they resolyedno,
longer to.!etid their ships of war to escort the ruer-
chant vessels of their subjeas. The 'escort being
in itself a proof that the vessels it protetts hive
nothing on hoard that is prohibited by 'the treaties
and regulations, it would be contrary to'the
pity of those Powers, that, 'notsivithvtanding this
guaiantee, proceeding front themsclve4," the cpn:
veying4hips should be subjeft to being visited, and
that a mere English, Stoop tit War should be 3ble to
stop their ships of the lioe as long as it to
protract} the visit of their convoy.
