The—einriZizette of this day cifthe follow:
ing intelligence from Turkey: .1 •
According to accounts from Ttittrirth' the begin..
fling of November, the Porte had transmitted a letter
to the Court of Prussia, containing an apology for the
conduct of the Turkish Ministry, wltich gave offence
to Baron Seat Pilsach, and it was not doubted that a
Prussian ambissador would soon take up his residence
in Constantinople.
The Archipelago is now full of English ships,
which threaten Smyrna, and blockade the Turkish
ports.

TRIESTE, JAN. 4.
Several French privateers are now cruizing off this
port, who take all ships bound from hither to Sicily
and Malta, and carry them into Italian ports. 'o
• VENICE, JAN. 7.
On account if the considerable orders for olive-oil,
which has been received from Germany and the North
of Europe, that article is•novicietWeled from the king-
dom of Naples, by land; to Aic ". and from thence
in Oil casks, to that place 444 from whence
it is further dispatched. ,
According to letters from *Lisboa, the quantity of
Brazil cotton amounted in that
hl
ace , on the arrival
of the French, to 25,000 bags, which have been expor-
ted to France.

_

LISBON, DEC. 23.
On account ofthe great scarcity ofmoney, nothing can
be sold here at present. But very few houses pay their
bills, and few or no bills are accepted, even foe the
best drawers. No goods are dispatched from hence,.
and the India house continues to be shut up. The
confiscation of English goods is postponed until the
26th of next month, at which time the courier who is
to bring the decision of the fate of Portugal is expec-
ted. The disturbances which took place on the 12th
and 13th inst. were occasioned by the hoisting of the
French colours, which irritated the populace against
the foreign military. The soldiers fired several vol-
lies, but most of them in the air, and no more than
20 lives were lost on both sides on that occasion.—
On the 14th tranquillity was perfectly restored, and
there is no reason to apprehend any farther commo-
tion, unless a famine should goad the people to des-
pair.

'
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
TRIESTE, JAN. 10.
The regulations and ordinances concerning the na-
vigation of neutrals, and the new maritime law which
the English wish to establish, as also the measures
France has taken to oppose that tyranny, must neces-
sarily be expected to shackle the commerce of this
port • and,, in fact, this is what has happened. This
misfortune, however, is common to all the ports of the
Continent ; and it is the general resolution to endure
it, if necessary, for a number of years, to free the
world from the maritime despotism of England.—
Iu consequence of these measures, the relations be-
tween our -port, and Sicily and Malta, can no longer
have place.
Colonial commodities frem the West Indies have
risen to an extraordinary high price, all the supplies of
these articles beipg in the hands of speculators, who
fix the prices as they please. Oil is an article, how-
ever, the price of which oas not risen in proportion to
the rest—it is not dear. There are, in the kingdom
of Naples, immense quantities of it, and it is from
thence that we derive, from time to time, what is ne-
cessary for our immediate wants, and for our trade.
The articles of the Levant have not much risen in
price, excepting cottons, which are much sought after
and the prices of which are very high.
A French privateer has just captured, before our
road, a richly laden merchant vessel from Messina.

CASSEL, JAN. 16.
The Council of State of the kingdom of West-
. Thalia, according to the Royal Decree relative 'to its
orgatization, will be composed-1. Of the Princes
of the Blood—'2. The' Ministers-3. The Council-
lors of State--h The Auditors-5. A Secretary
General.

ROTTERDAM, JAN. 29.
We continue to receive from every side the most
calamitous intelligence with respect to the inundation
of the 15th of this month. At Goedershed the wa-
ters rose to an extraordinary height. In one of the'
houses, in the lower part, the inhabitants could only
be saved from their perilous situation by breaking
through the roof, and taking them out that way
The battery of the port has suffered greatly. The
duke is broken- near the hospital, and the irruption of
the waters has done great damage.
From Ilelvoetsluys we leatn' that the greatest
alarm has been caused there by the inundation ; the
water, about two in the morning,. rising not less than
four feet and a half higher than in the extraordinary
tide of 1775. At New Helvoet the inhabitants caved
themselves in the steeples. The dyke at Old Hoorn
was overflowed by the sea ; fortunatelvit was not
brOken, or the whole village would haven swal-
lowed
up.
The English brig of war the Sparkler, of 20 guns
and fifty-three men, is wrecked near Terschelling:
—Thirty-six of the crew were saved ; the rest were
drowned.
HAMBURCH, JAN. 20.
The Prussian officers who are unemployed, have
been put on half pay. A commission, consisting of
a Major, two Captains, and three Lieutenants, has
been appointed for each regiment. All the officers
of the corps must present themselves individually,
and each, after. having given his word of honour,
must, under pain of being broke, declare where he
has resided during the war, till he was made prisoner,
and likewise denounce those of his comrades, if he
knows any, who have neglected their duty. Not to
reveal their faults, is to be punished as a perjury.—
'The Generals must present themselves befole another
Commission, in which the King's brothers will have

and observed tit a line of battle ship and. a . fri-
gate had separated from the rest ; but probably
it was only for the purpose of looking out. The Bri-
tish squadron was so near that of the enemy, that
there is the strongest reason to hope that it will over-
take them. Their destination is probably Martinique.
Dispatches from General BERFSVORIN at Madeira
were also brought by Captain NOURSEI for the Secre-

GOTTENBURGH MAILS.
Of the Mails that were due two arrived yesterday
morning, the contents of which were given in our
last ; three more arrived in the afternoon, and another

at a late hour last night.
The accounts by the latter mention the-aate arrival
of the Nassau and Stately, of 64 guns each, at Got-
tenburgh, with £lOO,OOO in specie for -our-Alty the
King of Sweden. •
The letters from Sweden of the latest dates, dis.
countenance the accounts in some of the Continental
Journals, of Russia -having 'commenced hostilities
against Sweden. Ploy -.mention that no increase
'whatever had taken plice in the Russian army sta-
tioned in Russian Finland for the last two months,
nor had any disposition to hostile movement been ma-
nifested. We understand, from high authority, that
a very active correspondence has for some time pre-
vailed between the Russian and .Swedish Courts, re-
lative to the connection of the latter with this country;
and that the Swedish Monarch continues firm in his
resolution to persevere in resistance to France and
adherence to Great Britain.
The military and naval force of Sweden are men-
tioned to be in the highest state of preParation.
Count MOELTKE, the Ambassadot4rorn Denmark,
arrived at Stockholm on the 18th•ult. This Noble6l
man had been appointed to‘dris,ielee several months
ago, but in consequence of the aberiee of his Majesty
from Stockholm, had but recently rapieedel upon his
mission: From his arrival at the Sweetish Court at
this particular juncture, it is inferred that the amica-
ble intercourse between Denmark and Sweden is
likely to experience no interruption.
The report.ofruformidable expedition, with Persian
concurrence and aid, being about to proceed against
the English possessions in
.India, is repeated in ac-
counts from Moscow, unascompanied, however, with
any 'additional facts to those we have already men-
tioaulran,the authority of the Foreign Journals.
ding to the intelligence received by the last
Gottenburgh Mail, no letters from this country to any
part of the Continent, will be permitted to pass
through Russia. Those letters only which are ad-
iltesied to the inhabitants of the Russian Empire, will
be* fiesvarded.thratigh any Russian post4rhic--Such
is the prescription of a late order feclitASl
