Yesterday and this morning we received the

The Duke d'ANGOULEME had quitted Rouen to

proceed to Caen.

An article from Augsburg!), dated the lith
states the following to have been officially pub-
lished respecting the reported misunderstanding
between Russia and the Porte:—

The Ottoman Government could have bad no
opportunity of approving of the putting Czerny
Georges to death, because that event took place-a
few hours after he entered the Ottoman Territory.
It is not yet known what led to the folly that in-
Anced this unfortunate man to take the step that cost
hint his life. At all events he courted his own death.
Previous to being informed of the catastrophe,
and on the first intimation of his rash intention,
the Emperor of Russia issued a circular order, by
which it was declared, that in case Czeruy Georges
should quit his asylum and pass the Russian fron-
tier, the personal, protection which had been
wanted to him, and the Russian dignities which
hod been conferred upon him, would be con-
sidered as revoked. His In t- Majesty con-
st:vently renounced beforehand, all participa-
tion in the project of Czerny. When the affair
jV'ris known at -Constantinople, the Russian
Ambassador eouldltave no doubt whatever as to

the manner in which be was to take it up, and it
is certain that neither the Baron de Strogonotr nor
the-Russian Cabinet took the least step with the
Porte respecting it. The statement of the sending
a courier front St. Petersbu-rgh with a categqrieal
demand of satisfaction, or the threat of immediate
hostilities, is not only, therefore, an unfounded re-
port, btit a deliberate falsehood. All the other
reports given in the ,German Journals upon this:
subject are equally unfounded. The corps d'arm4e,
commanded' by General Bennitigsen, has never had
the denomination of an Army of Observation, tior
'has it recently received any reinforcements."
The article goes on to state, but not with the
same quotation marks, that the intelligence of dif-
ferences. between Luglanu and the Pot te are
equally unfounded ;- that the Grand SeigniOr will
not expose himself to a misunderstanding with
England for the sake of Ali-Pacha, and that there
is no reason to apprehend a' rupture between the
Porte and any European Power whatever; On the
contrary, the discussions between Russia anti the
Porte, respecting their frontiers, are very nearly
terminated. _

A Danish squadron, consisting of a ship of the

" FROM SAVANNAII.—.—We learn by Captain
ATwooD, who artived yesterday at Savannah,
and who left there on the Bth instant, that it had
become extremely sickly, and a general alarm was
excited. Most persons were hastening their de-
parture from that city—and the vessels which had
come for freights were preparing to sail for other
places."

By the Leeward Islarni Packet six Bulletins
of «•I►at is called tl►e Liberating Army of Marga-
retia, and other accounts,- intve been received,
which confirm what we stated on Saturday, re-
specting the Royalist General Aloatt.t.o having
ultimately been complied to abandon that Island.

We are assured that the accounts given in an
Evening Paper of last week,- respecting the dis-
t urbances in the province of Cuttock, in the East
Indies, were violent exaggerations of the commo-
tion which really happened, awl which was
speedily subdued. Its predictions also respecting
the probable danger to our Asiatic Settlements
were, we understand, not much calculated to ex-
cite alarm among those who have received authen
tic advices from that (lorry'', as we are con-
fidently assured that the war,was likely to have
a speedy termination in our favour.

The Company's ships Bontbay and Charles Grant
arrived at Bombay on the lith May ; and the
General Harris, Lowther Castle, and the ransiltart,
on the 30th of that month.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at

Gue.rnsfy, dated .22-d inst.

" Arrived here this morning the Emanuel Kilo,
H. AKEWAL, of Christiaustadt, from St. Malo,
bound to Russia is ballast. The master reports,
that on Friday the lith lust,. he fell in With a brig
which he supposed to be no Algerine 'cruiser, and
on the 19th he saw her board a French vessel; on
the 20th, being still in sight, she boarded three
other vessels, and on the 21st she boarded two
galliots which were beating to windward, one of
he supposes she captured, as he saw her

afterwards steering before the wind down Chan-
•ncl. She was
.a long vessel, with a billet, head
and yellow sides, with painted ports; had some
eery white sails, apparently cotton, with very
square yards.—The above report, the Master has
sworn to before the Royal Court."

MELANCHOLY INFORINTATION:--ThE following
distressing information was received this morning
at LLOYD'S', fron► their Agent at
" BRISTOL, OCT, 25.—The William and Mary
packet, MANLY, from this port to Waterford,
struck on the Wolf Rocks, near the Flatholm, on
the 22d instant, .and- soon after fotindered, when
thirty-three of her crew and passengers perished: The
total nun►ber of pe►'tons on board were 56."

We ha-Ve not room sufficient this day to corn-
.ment on the legal proceedings at Derby and their
termination, as we have inserted'so copious an 'ac-
count of them. We cannot, however; refrain
from observing that they abundantly disprove the
false statements of the incendiary Writers of "Op-
position, and fully Vindicate the conduct of Go-
vernment. It has been demonstrated, however
low the instruments, and 14oweier contemptible'
the means o? the men found guilty of Trea-
son, that the subversion of the. Government was
the object in view. Our nulers have.- acted. on
,this occasion with wisdom, vigOnr, andh'umanity.
The leaders have been convicted, and lenity has
been extended to .the rest of the offenders. Our
Government did not want to have Many culprits
fall under the justice of their Country, but they
wished to warn the loWer orders of the people
from engaging in suckdesperat,e enterprizes, and
to' Spare the least guilty. The whole is in the
highest degree creditable to our Rulers and to the
mild character of British Justice..
