VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 5.

The following particulars of the late iebsilion at
Constantinople has been received here from a very
respectable quarter. . .
The Grand Vizier marched to Constantinople with;
2f),C00 men, and Mustapha Bairactar, with 15,000 v
after they had previously detached a small corps
across the Danube into Wallachia, which the Russians
suffered to be done, althongli it was contrary to the
terms of the armistice. On the arrival of the two
Turkish Generals in the vicinity of Constantinople,
Mustapha Bairactar marched unexpectedly with his
force straight to the Seraglio, where he was joined by
the Captain Paella and a number of Janissaries.
Mustapha surrounded the SeraAlio, demanded that
Selim should be delivered to him, and threatened to
carry the Seraglio by assault in case of refusal. ; In .
answer to this. demand, Selim's dead body was thrown
him from the walls with the exclamation, Here is
Selim." Sultan Mustapha had murdered Selim in.
the most cruel manner. When his corps was thus
exhibited to the troops, the Captain Paella stood dis-
mayed at the dreadful sight, hut Mustapha Bairactar
exclaimed, " All 'is not yet lost;" declared Musta7ha
unworthy of the throne ; proclaimed his younger
brother Muhamud Emperor, and ordered the public
to be made acquainted with the revolution which had
taken place by the firing of guns. This being done Mus-
tapha Bairactar gave orders to carry the Seraglio by
assault, penetrated into the interior of the Palace, and
found Sultan Mustapir-t, with a sword in his hand, in
the very act of wounding his younger brother,_ Mo-
hamed, whom he also intended to destroy. Being
prevented from carrying this deed of blood into effect,
he was conducted into a private room of the Palace
and confined. Mustapha Bairactar then nominated
himself Grand Vizier, and appointed his Anticessor
Governor of the fortress of Ismael. He thereupon
issued a proclamation, stating, that the Porte had
enemies, against whom the war must be continued,
and consequently that warlike preparations mug t be
carried. on with increased vigour. During these
transactions the main body of the Russian troops
took up.another position near Fessan. Sultan t Muha-
; med is 26 years old, and not 15, as was stated in the
first account. His father died in 1789 ' • he is of
mild and generous disposition. Mustapha Bairactar
is 45 years old, a man of firm resolve and undaunted
-courage. A few days will develope his plans.

The contingents of the Rhenish Princes that have
taken the Geld, are, according to advices from Ger-
many, marching towards the fortresses on the French
frontier, where they will receive farther orders. They
will be treated in France in the same manner as the
French troops are treated in Germany, and are in no
case to be employed in any transmarine expedition.—
Wesel is the rendezvous for the troops of Berg, Cleves,
and Ahrenberg ; and Strasburg for those of Bavaria,
Wirtemberg, and Baden.

SPAIN.

The Prince of Wales packet, the arrival of which
at Falmouth we announced -esterday, brought nn•
fresh intelligence. The report which before reached
us of the surrender of Juwo7 was current at Coruna,
but no official account of that event had been ye.
ceived, nor has government received any. They
expect them hourly.,--Some idle rumours were cif.
culating last night pretending to rest on account;
received by this packet, but as they are known to be'
without authority, they arc unworthy of notice, •
A vessel arrived yesterday from off Bilboa. She
sailed from thence on the 31st ult. The Captain
states, that the place had been given up to pillage to
the first French corps_that• entered it, Which continu4
ed there for two days only; at the expiration of which
time, they retired, glutted with the 'spoils they had
acquired. A second party succeeded, and were col-
lecting the remnants of the property of the untortu-
nate inhabitants when he came away.
In vain have we read over and over the admissions.
extcrted from the French Government by• the re-
marks published in the STAR of the Sth ult. to find an-
avowal of the motives why " the French Eagle shall
cover Spain with her wings." Something like an
appeal to justice•might have been expected' from the.
would:be Arbiter of the fate of nations, is a pretext
at least for an, unprovoked attack on the liberties of
an independant nation. England, .we atetold "is un-
acquainted with shame and remorse;'—where is the
share, where the remorse that ought to have been
excited against an unfrincipled robbery, exercised on
a people who had but too faithfully performed the
p irt of a good Ally.
• In the chains with which Spain is threatened, let •
the nations of the earth behold the fate that awaits
Close States which join thmselves in alliance with
France.—ln the robberies, desolation, and murders,
spread by the French armies over the cities and
lager of those who had furnished them with money,
with ships, with food, and with raiment, let them con.
template the reward which kindness and attachment
may expect from the man who laments the perfidy of
England, as soon as it shall suit his views or fall in
with his inclinations to give, what was never his own,
as a portion to a relative, or a reward to those who
assist him most zealously in his plans of lawless am-
bition !

LONDON SESSIONS.

Yesterday J. Hart was indicted for a violent assault
(with intent to ravish) upon Hart, in the month
of Decomber last. It appeared that the Defendant
resided in the family of the Prosecutrix, in the neigh-
bourhood of Aldgate, and is by trade a butcher.
On the day stated in the indictment, he induced the
child to come up stairs into the bedroom, where he
not only committed the assault, but actually corn-
coittel the rape.—The Jury found him guilty; and
eie Court sentmced him to be imprisoned in Newgate
for the t rm of two years.
Peter Jones, a descendant of St. Crispin, was in-
dicted for an assault upon Charlotte, the wife of
Mr. Nelson, portable soup,maker, in Three-King-
court, Fleet-street. Honest Crispin was employed
to shut up a shop the corner of the alley, and as it
appeared had given offence repeatedly. Mrs. Nel-
son was going to complain of him, when he 'stopped
Lr, and held his fist in her face. This constituted
the assault. The poor fellow was prepared with
Counsel to defend him, and requested the witnesses
might be examined apart; but the Court thought
it so trifling a case, that they refused to accede to
the requtst. Mrs. Nelson admitted, on her cross-
enunination, that she had told her husband, who
was confined iu the Flat; and he next day got a
day rule, and, singular as it may seem, the gallant
Nelson forsook the Fleet, for that day he bore down
upon the Cobler, and gave him a severe drubbing ;
observing, that England expected every man to
do his duty !" and his duty was to protect his wife.
C.-isii;t: was found Guilt g; and the RECORDER ob-
served very good humouredly, that the drubbing he
had received should go in mitiga,ion of punishment ;
and therefore ordered him to beg pardon of Mrs.
Nelson, which Crispin did, assuring her, upon his
sole, that he meant no offence. He then packed up
his awl, took his last leave of the Court, and de-
clared himself rosined into propriety !

Sunday about noon, a fire broke out in a house
in Kensiington ; at first it bore a formidable appear-
ance, but in consequence of the arrival of some engines,
and the heavy fail of rain, it was soon extinguished
-without spreading to any great extent.

the strait psei6ea V&A ha ballast et
caste de la Barques, that *a hatdutem mat eltsti-
timely contestad. but at length tbeTtoiteh were 41.-
feated with very great loss, and the flptuasis Army
were, in consequence of this stkcast• about to ad-
vance.

" The above is the substanee of the intelligence com-
municated by Captain Haynie, of the idinsava.
It certainly is not to be considered as official, but it
appears to be highly probable. Ths position at St.
Vineente de la Barquera, is an extremely strong one,
and the French army must Wave been very much
weakened by the numerous and sanguinary conflicts
in which it has been engaged."

" The following is the substance of the intelligence
received by the Boma CITOTERWE
" This vessel spoke the MiNzavA, which had been
cruising off St. Andero. By her she was informed,
that on the 19th the French were at Barques% and
the Spaniards retreated after a sharp contest. On
the 24th, a fresh battle is said to have taken place,
and the accounts were, that at the close of it, the
Marquis de ROWARNA was driving the French before
him.—On the 22d ult. Sir DAVID BAIRD was at As-
torga.—lt was not believed that the French were at
Valladolid in great force.—No news had been re-
ceived on the 26th, at Coruna, from Madrid."

All that we can infer from the above accounts,
amounts only to what we have stated in former
papers—The Spaniards contest every inch of ground ;
and, though forced to retreat by superior numbers,
still maintain the contest with a zeal and ardour
which would do honour to any army ; and which, if
persevered in with equal obstinacy for a short time;
will furnish an opportunity for their receiving rein-
forcements.

BLAZZ'S army has done wonders, and if every inch
of Spanish territory is to be contested with an equal
ardour, the country will never be conquered, what-
ever partial or temporary advantages may be gained
by the enemy.

That an equal zeal prevails in the other armies our
Readers will see by the accounts given in the pre-
ceding columns, from the army of the centre. Ac-
cording to these accounts the passage of the Ebro
has been forced at three points, and the strong
French position of Caparroso, with the heights
around it, taken. The final result of this !;-eneral
action is not yet known. The postscript of our last
letter from Madrid informs us, that the fighting
continued on the 13th, when a Courier, who brought
the intelligence, the substance of which we have
stated, left the army.
Among our extracts from the Spanish papers, we
have given an abstract of a long and very able Ad-
dress to the Spanish'people by the Supreme Junta.
Men, who, understand and estimate so rightly the
principles of a free Government, deserve to be free.

Our contemporaries seemed determined to have the
public believe that the answer to the dispatches from
Eefarth was sent back with the Russian and French
messenger on the 22d instant. Now, however, the
fact, which we stated some days ago, is established
beyond the power of contradiction. The answer was
not settled till the Cabinet Council sat on Friday last,
and at an early hour on Saturday morning, the dis.
patch was delivered .to Mr. SHAW, the Messenger,
who passed through Canterbury at nine o'clock, on
his way to Dover. On' his arrival there, he embarked
in a flag of truce, and immediately sailed for Calais.
It is said that Mr. Straw has orders to proceed to Er-
firth, in case NAPOLEON should not have returned to
his capital, which he probably has, as the Paris pa.
pers mention that he was expected back against the
!fleeting of the Legislative Body, which we believe'
was to take place the latter end of this month.

" DOVER, OCTOBER 30.

is Mr. SHAD►, the Messenger, arrived here yester-
Lty at noon, from London, and immediately went
on board a cutter that was waiting in the Roads to
take him over to Calais, off which port she arrived
about four o'clock ; a boat came off with the Captain
and Lieutenant of the guard ship lying in that har-
bour, and took Mr. SHAw on shore, and desired the
cutter to proceed back again, as Mr. &JAW would be
allowed to go on to Paris. The master of the cutter
was told, that should he come over again with a Flag
of Truce and the weather be bad, he might bring his
vessel into the harbour without waiting for orders ;
and on the whole the Frenchmen behaved with much
civility. How different is this behaviour to that
which was shewn to the vessel which carried over
Baron JACOBI ; she was ordered away without land-
ing her passengers, and her Captain informed that
no mote Flags of Truce from this country would be
allowed to come within gun-shot of their batteries
without being fired at."

DUTCH PAPERS.

Since onr last Dutch Papers to the 14th instant
*aye been received. The intelligence which they
contain from Erfurth comes down to the 2d instant.
The Emperor FRANCIS, we now learn, had sent a
moister to Erfurth, namely, Baron VINTENT, who
it will be recollected, followed the steps of NAPOLEON
during the late campaign in Poland. On the Ist in-
stant he had separate interviews with the tro Empe-
Tors, but nothing has transpired of what passed.—
Many of the Petty Kings attend the Court at Erfurth.
From these papers we learn one gratifying piece of
intelligence : the reinforcements for the French army
in Spain were not expected to reach their destination
till the beginning of November; by which time the
Patriots will have completed their military arrange-
ments in that quarter, assisted by a strong British
fake.

The private letters from Holland state that NAPO..
nos was expected to set out from trfurth for
Frankfort on the 12th instant. It also appears by
these letters that the Dutch Decree, of which we
gave a copy on Friday, has really bccn issued.

SPAIN.

The Primrose, from Spain, has arrived at Ports-
mouth ; the Nonpareil, the Black Joke, and the
Conflict, have arrived at Plymouth, from Corunna ;
and the Desperate packet, at Falmouth—also from
Coruna, which she left on the 26th ult. By these
vessels we have received a variety of letters and pri.
uted journals, to the 26th inst.

*The article which we gave from the Spanish papers
ott Saturday, dated St. Andero, the 10th inst. an-
nouncing that the Spaniards had obtained possession
of Vittoria, after an obstinate action, is not even al-
luded to in those received this day, and we therefore
conclude is unfounded. The Patriots appear, how-
ever, to be daily pressing harder upon the enemy on
the Ebro—a magazine of corn, belonging to the
French, has been taken by the Spaniards. •

ireval of our tiro, General; Castanet The division'
of O'Neil occupies the important part of Sdngoesa, and
although he has but 600 men, the enemy has not at-
tacked him ; in the said division of O'Neil, is the
third division of Royal Spanish Infantry Guar,ds.—
The French occupy the road of Ronces Valles. The
cavalry are, however, greatly harassed, since they
are always kept ready saddled, and perform all the
duty and fatigue of the army.

CADIZ, OCTOBER 11.

Yesterday arrived here the English brig SCEPTRE,
Lieutenant BROWN, with 100,000 dollars and some
arms for Catalonia : she is one of the transports which
left Lisbon with Spanish troops, and brings fifty Va-
lentian volunteers, and the Commissioner Don Josef
Estola, who is charged with the troops and with
money. The above brig will complete her cargo of
arms and ammunition here, and proceed with the
ship to Ortecha and a smaller vessel for that coast.
In her came Lord LOUVAINE, Colonel FITZGERALD
and two Members of the British Parliament, Porters
and LESLIE FORSTER, also General Cantata, who, it
seems, has been put under arrest provisionally in one
of the castles ; and also the Colonel of the regiment
of Murcia.

The Spanish troops which were in Lisbon conti-
nued embarking, under English convoy, for Catalo-
nia. General Dalrymple had sailed for England to
answer for his conduct. General Don Thomas Mork
leaves this place shortly for Aranjuez, for the purpose
of inspecting the artillery, and to assist at the Su-
preme Council of War, leaving as Governor ad interim,
Don Joseph Virues ; and, as Captain General, the
Prince de Montforto. All the Marine Corps, the au-
thorities, and other Chiefs of this place, have taken the
oath prescribed by the Governing Junta of the King-
dom : which oath has been celebrated with Te Deum,
ringing of bells, and discharges of artillery. This
evening the provincial regiment of Cordova marches
from hence ; to-morrow that of Xera ; and the next
day that of Rondague. They are those which are in
garrison hers, and are hardy and well disciplined ;
their destination, for the present, is Carolina. Many
English vessels arrive here with colonial fruits and
produce.

IMPORTANT INSCOVERY.

• •
TPE Advantage the Public must always aril'.
• from regularly educated professional men directing Own
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was nevernims
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled sucoess which hM
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraca
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years, Messrs
Cl/situ. and Co. Surgeons, fortnerly in his Majesty's serrice,kma
made the Venereal DBV.tie toe part cular object of their loran.
gation, and are happy in having discovered a nwincii.e. superior is
mercury in the cure of that complaint; it is sufficient to obsersl
• that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite temliost
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every rusted
the virus, to its most confirmed stages, yet it does not in the least
injure the constitutiou ; on the contrary, it enovatcs the slats
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates&
gestion : thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constits•
' tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pm
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a Weak
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigour. Number.

it cannot be determined until next week, whether
Congress may adjourn for two or three months. It
has been proposed to adjourn about the middle of
March, and convene again in May. As soon as Mr.
Madison is able to attend business, it is expected that
a long report on our relations with France will be
made to Congress.—Political Register.
Mr. ROSE had takiln rooms in Washington City,
for the Captain of the Statira—but, on Wednesday
last gave them up. It is inferred from this circum-
stance, that the Statira is about to depart from the
United States.
When the news was yesterday received of an
Algerine war, a Member of Congress from North
Carolina, inquired, whether our India ships would
not, in returning, be liable to capture ? The Learned
Gentleman supposed they returned through the Me-
diterranean.

FEBRUARY 14.—We cannot help repeating the
report which was mentioned in our paper of Fri-
day, that a treaty has actually been formed be-
tween Mr. Rose and our Government. It is also said,
that Mi. Nourse, brother of the Registrar of the
Treasury, is to carry this treaty to England. This
latter circumstance, it is supposed, is in consequence
of some doubts as to Mr. Rose's powers. Every thing
relating to the negotiation with Great Britain must
be interesting to the people of this country ; and
although the above is staled merely as a report, it is,
notwithstanding the fulminations of Duane to the
contrary, entitled to credit. Quere.—How did Duane
obtain the information, that the negotiations with
Great Britain were absolutely broken off, and that war
would be the result ? If true, was it not a most trea-
cherous communication ? If false, is it not a most in-
famous deception ?
There is some talk here, that Congress will adjourn
shortly, to meet again the Ist of- May.—Bakimore
Federal Gazette.

F. 20.—1 t will be seen, a says the Baltimore Fe-
deral Gazette of Tuesday lust, aby the resolution of
by Mr. Dawson yesterday, that Congress intends
soon to rise. We must view this in connection with
tht reported special mission of Mr. Nourse to Great
Britain. Is it not probable that the Government here
offered such terms as they are taught to believe by
Mr. Rosa will be acceded to by his Court, and that
Congress having no further or necessary business (in
their estimation) to perform at present, will adjourn,
again to meet about the time at which Mr. Nourse
may be expected to return from London. We have
no positive information of this being the present state
of things, but from all the information in our posses-
sion, we are of opinion that Congress will adjourn
this month, to meet early in May."—N:w-York Com-
mercial Advertiser.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 10.

The Bill passed to day in the House of Representa-
tivis (the ostensible object of which is to explain the
Non-importation Law) is, in truth, a virtual repeal of
sat law. It permits the importation of all articles in
vessels of the United States which left this country
prior to the 14th of December last. The embargo
was laid the 22d, and consequently no vessels are now
liable to the provisions of the Non-importation Law,.
excepting those which left the country between the
14th and 23c1 of December. This very important
amendment was yesterday introduced into the expla-
natory Bill in a thin house, and while most of the
Members were standing about the fire. Messrs. Nico-
las and Newton said a few words, but in so low a tone,
they could only be heard by a few. The majority of
the House supposed the Bill very safe in the hands of
those Gentlemen, and gave no attention to the subject.
I doubt whether half the members know, at this mo-
ment, that the Bill contains any such provision. Thus
in the name and under the pretence of explanation,
the boasted measure of Non-importation has silently
ism done away, provided the Senate agree to the
Bill.—United Stater Gazette.
rautuAßY 12.—N0 particulars transpire of the
pending negotiation ; but to judge from the conversa-
tions that I have had with many well informed per-
sons, I continue of opinion that matters will he ami-
cably adjusted. Mr. i'dadi!on has been confined to his
room for some days, and is to-day very unwell. This
will of course retard the negotiation, but it is expected
that the President will male a communication to
congress in the course of next week, acquainting them
n affair of
reparation having been made for the
of the Chesapeake. The President has said, that

an inch square, and the second set of great and small letters are il-
lustrated with cuts of familiar objects.

ters, and proceed to those of three and four Letters, and finally by
simple gradations to those of two and three syllables.

liar object, rendering the number of pleasing cuts in the work
nearly one hundred.

endeavour has been made in every part to unite simplicity with
elegance.

The Letters and Papers by the Nocton packet, froro
America, come down to the 25th ult. The contents
of the dispatches received by Government have not
transpired ; but, from the opinions circulated on the
other side the water, where it is more than pos
sible the state of the Negociation would be known
to a number of individuals, it appears that nothing
definitive had been concluded by Mr. Ross, his
powers, as we have beforehad occasion to notice, being
confined to the affair of the Chet.peake. He was em:
Powered to disavow the proceeding, on the part of the
British Government, and therefore that business may
be considered as settled; but other points remained for
adjustment, on which Mr. ROSE could do no more than
receive pr4ositions to be transmitted to this commit
and which to facilitate the business, will be accompa-
nied by Mr. NOURSE, brother to the Registrar of the
American Treasury. Waiting the issue, Congress is
to adjourn to the beginning of May, but in the mean
time, the embargo is to contThue, subject to some to.
difications.

Thus it appears that both countries will be in a
state of suspence for some months ; for the conditions
proposed by America may not be admissible without
some slight alterations ; which on being proposed hire
must go again to America for approbation ; and, even
if terms were acceded to by accredited agents of the
two Governments, it is not impossible that Mr. JsF'
FPRSON may chuse to alter some of the stipulations,
as he did those which were signed by Lords Hott.Aso
and AUCKLAND on one side, and Messrs. MONROF and
PINKNEY on the other.
