CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 3.,--.The following ex-
tras from a report received from the Grand Vizier
has been published in Ibis capita :--
At the beginning of the month of Riegal (Au-
gust) the RU*sian army,- which besieges Rodschuck,
formed in two columns, commenced, at. seven in
the morning, a general assault, on the outworks and
bastions of, the fortress. At ',first the enemy found
means to penetrate into two works, but was imme—
diately after repulsed by Aly Pacba and &soak Aga
•
with immense loss.

" A►l the ditches were filled with his slain, and
the number of heads cut oti ampunts to 4000; a
General, several Majors, many other Officers, and
250 rank and file have been taken prisoners,
"'UALICK PACHA, who commanded one of the
corps detached to relieve the fortress, fell in, near
Bele, in the vicinity of Rudshuck, with an enemy's
corps composed of 7,000 men ; attacked and routed
the infidels with the greatest sl4ughter. -

" The Turkish fleet in the Black Sea, • has been
driven back by the strong currents which generally
prevail in that' Sea at this season, 'to the mouth of
the Channel of Constantinople."
MUNICH, OCT. B.—The Chevalier DEBRAY leas
just arrived from St. Petersburgb. It is reported
that, in taking leave of the Emperor, that Prince
said to him—" You, will not fail t(.. hear, on your
journey, ridiculous reports respelling a pretended
rupture between Russia and France. It is singular
that they wish it to be thought, that the Russians
and French are going to contend strongly against
each other. Be easy upon these reports, I love the
Emperor NAPOLRON, and he has for' me the same
regard. The alliance of the two Emperors is shelter-
edfrom all vicissitudes."

A private letter from Riga, dated the Gth ult, says,
that M. Rempenhausen, who condemned the Te-
neride ships, has been dismissed from his office,,-
Ili.: is considered a proof of the Emperor Alexan-
der's determination to break with Buonaparte. Thera
is another report however, which, if true, would be
more decisive of that intention namely, that Count
Marcow, who since the peace with France has
been in- disgrace is again received into favour.
The late infamous decree of BUONAPAkTE fur
taking away the freedom of the Press reminds us
01 what took place about two centuries ago in Scot-
land, as we find in the following Extract
" AUGUST 8, 1687.—At Privy Council, the
printers and booksellers of Edinburgh are
upon oath, to declare what books they had, during
these twelve months past, imported, printed, or
sold, and to produce their catalogues, because the
Chancellor alleged they had sold sundry scandalo6s
and seditious pamphlets, meaning, 'it -is likely, Dr.
Gilbert Rurnett'a.Travels,.andthe books from Eng-
land against Popery; and sundry- of thew were
imprioned and fined, and all of them discharged
to print' or vend arty without 'a -special !teens', and
approbation from the Chancellor or the Arehbishop
of Glasgow; .but Jamey Watson, the Popish pi-inter,
in the Abbey, - is' excepted from this act, so he
and his son may print or.sell what they please
against the Protestants."—Founiainhall's Decistorts,
