VIENNA, APRIL so.

The Russian General Tsageff has taken possessior.
of Orsowa, and is marching with his corps to the
Danube.

In all the Russian ports of the Crimea, and in the
Black Sea, ships of war are fitting nut to bombard
the Turkish polls, in case twat peace should not be
concluded. The warlike preparations ist the Turkish
dominions are also carried on with the utmost vigour.
The fortifications of Brannan have very unexpect-
edly hoen ordered by the Emperor of Austria to be
dismantled and levelled with the ground.

FROM THE. FROM OF TUMKEY, APRIL R.

Acccrding to letters received fran Bucharest, ilie
Russian Court has, in an honouratle manner, dis-
charged Prince Ypsilanti from his princely dignity in
Wallachia, and presented him with a palace at Mos-
cow, and very large estates in Russia. The
.persons
who served him have entered into the Russian ser-
vice, retaining their rank, and have besides received
considerable pensions. The Russian General Krassi-
nikof is nominated Governor of Moldavia and Wal-
lachia. At Bucharest, the capital of the last of . these
principalities, a provisional Government has been no-
minated, which consists of natives of the capital, and
two Boyards ; they are to act conformably with the
existing laws, but are, in doubtful cases, to ask for
instructions from the Governor. It is expected that
Moldavia will soon receive a like provisional Govenr-
ment.

'taco). tt is said that it was on the demand of the
Charge des Affaires of France that our Sovereign de-
termined to demand of England the restitution of the
island of Perijil.

'BANKS OF THF. ELBE, MAY 9.
• On the 7th inst. the Admiralty and Senate of
liemburgh received advice by express, that an Eng-
lish frigate and a cutter that were in pursuit of some
Dutch vessels, having been fired upon by the French
batteries in Cuxhaven, the frigate returned the fire, in
consequence sf yhich several houses in Cuxhaven
were damaged, and a girl killed on the spot. % The
frigate sailed up the Übe nearly to Gluckstadt to
reconnoitre. It is rumoured, that the fortress of Giuek-
stadt will be shortly bombarded ; indeed the conduct
of the Danes is most odious there, as they will not
suffer a boat to pass unmolested, but search every
thing coming up the Elbe, with the view of disco-
vering, they say, English letters or goods. Last
week 600 letters, probably coming from Heligoland,
were seized at Glucksradt in a turf boat, and imme-
diately opened. In consequence of this occurrence,
several persons at Altana have been arrested, and the
Danes now make all con-ospondence with England
a crime to be punished with death.
The distresses of the poorer classes of people at
Hamburgh become daily more pitiable, as all trade
is entirely annihilated, as well as navigation.
The river Elbe, which used to supply the inhabi-
tants of Hamburgh with vast quantities of fish of
every kind, by means of the Helgolan and Blanke-
near fishermen, is now no longer navigated, as the
French and Danes will suffer no boats to go out to
lish, but stop them immediately at Gluckstadt, Kiel,
and Cuxhaven.

The hostile behaviour of France against the United
States of America, and the seizure of the property of
their citizens, has completely destroyed all the hopes
of the commercial men of Bremen and Hamburgh.
It is a matter cf surprise even to the Danes, that-the
trade of Lubeck should still be unimpeded by Eng-
land, as the French and Danes alone are benefited by
this forbearance, of which they avail themselves to
the detriment of Great Britain, but particularly of
Sweden, against which country they are preparing
embarkations, at Rugen, Rostock, Wesmar, Lubeck,
and in mpst other parts of the Baltic.

wreck of the Anson frigate were thrown upon that coast, and
