BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER 13.

Yesterday morning ten French prisoners were
marched into this place from Seaford, and safely
lodged in the military guard-house. They will be
removed from hence for Dorchester Castle to-morrow.
These men are the same that were put on board the
collier that was captured by a French privateer some
days ago, off Newhaven, and which collier was re-
captured by the FLY gun-brig, about half seas across.
The Lord Thurlow pleasure-vessel, which sank off
this place on Thursday last, when young MERCHANT,
whose remains have not yet been picked up, was
drowned, is now in a fair way of being recovered.—
Several fishing-boats are at prespnt employed in rais-
ing her. A stout hawser has been fixed to her, and
great expectations are entertained that she will be
tracked in this evening, in the same manner as was
the brig Adventure, that was scuttled off this place',
a few years ago. The topmast of the Lord Thurlow
was about three feet above water this morning, and
which has now been increased to about ten or twelve
the hulk, consequently, is so much above the sand,
supposed by the hawser and two of the largest fish-
ing-boats ; so that no doubts are enteztaiaed of bring-
ing the vessel home.

JACQUES LAVEt, Captain of the French privateer
Pointe du Jour, captured by the Brilliant off Ply-
mouth, on his examination before the Commissioners
of prizes,prcived to be one of the French Prisoners who
escaped with the Buoy Boat, from Portsmouth, on the
sth of April last. He says, they cut a hole in the
VIGILANT, and swam to a Spanish frigate (the Am-
phitrite) ; took her boat, and got on board the Buoy
Boat at ten o'clock at There were then two'
Englishmen on board, whom they kept below. At
ahout one o'clock in the morning a boat came along-
side, with another of the men belonging to her, who
had been spending his evening on shore. At a quar-
ter past five they got under weigh : the day-break
gun fired just as they got outside of the harbour. A,
noon, they were chaced by a cutter and a brig o:*
war, but the Buoy Boat very much outsailed them.
They arrived at Dieppe at half-past eight in the even-
ing. The people at the signal-house thought it was
a cartel, and sent a boat off to say, they could not
be permitted to come in; but perceiving they were
Frenchmen, they were, of course, allowed to land.
The boat was sold to a merchant for 15,000 Evils
(about £7oo)—The three men were used well, and
sent into the interior. The Buoy Boat is at present
cruizing in the Channel, carrying eight six-poun-
ders, under the name of the Buoy Boat of Port:moue .
She is fitted out by the merchant who purchased her,
and'who was the owner of the Pointe de Jour. When ,
they left the Amphitrite it was their intention to take
the Buoy Boat's boat only, but it coming on to
blow strong, they thought it would not be large
enough, as-there were nine of them. The crew of
the Pointe de Jour, after her capture, were taken out,
except one man, and eleven men of the Brilliant were
put on board her; and, we are sorry to relate, she
foundered in Bigbury Bay, the levening she was
taken, and every person perished.
Bow-Srezex.—Yesterday Frond, Miller, who was sentenced
to be transported for seven years in January Session last, was
charged with being found at large ; when it appeared, that his sen-
tence bad been remitted, on condition of serving in the York
Rangers, from which he had deserted; he was, therefore, fully
committed fur trial.
MA N 11014-HO V sc—Yesterday John Broun' who was charged ,
with uttering base half-geineas, &e. was again brought up, when
Mr. Powell, the Solicitor of the Mint, examined the money taken
from the prisoner, when be only picked out one half-guinea and
a sixpence, which he was sure were counterfeited. The prisoner
said he was an Officer of Excise, and belonged to the Wear-India
Docks; that be had taken the money in change of a X 5 note;
and called two respectable men to his charmer, who had known
him many years, who said he was rather given to drinking. Mr.
Powell said he did not know him before, as such he did not sup-
pose him to be a common utterer of counterfeit money. His
Lordship, therefore, discharged him with a caution to be aware
of uttering bad money, whatever way he got it ; and ordered the,
counterfeit coin to be cut, and the bank-notes and good money to
be returned to him.
The present Lottery consists of only. Twenty Thou-
sand Tickets, one Thouiand of which the Contractor
has permission to make into two Extra Prizes of Five
Hundred Tickets each ; of course there are but nine-
teen thousand for sale, and as there are greater ad-
vantages than in any former Lottery, it is highly
probable every Ticket may be sold before the draw-
ing begins. At present, Tickets and Shares are to
be had; in great variety, at the old-established offices
of T. Bon, 4, Coraill, and 9, Chtuing-cross, where
the last X 25,000, and the two last 100,000 prizes
ever drawn, were sold in Shares, and where all prizes
'are paid on demand. •

CONSTANTINOPLF,
dovernment has taken the decided realution
abolishing the corps of Janissaries, and to substitute
in their place troops disciplined after the Esiropeati
manner. In consequence, it has been decreed, that
the Janissaries now actually existing, who are not
willing to enrol themselves in the new corps, shall
receive during their lives their ordinary pay ; but their
children will neither enjoy the name nor pay of the
Janissaries. Those who willingly conform to the row
order of things, will have their pay augmented dou-
ble and treble, according to their capacity, and their
zeal for the State and religion.

Government has granted permission to the Aus.
trian flag td navigate the Black Sea. Thisiirivile.
had been suspended from the commencement of the
war with Russia.

AeGSBURG, NOV.I.

The armistice between the Porte and the Servians
has not been broken. Czerny Georges, Chief of the
Servian army, has just published t Proclamationi in
which he says,. that mar.y Turkish Pachas have iti;
formed him, that in defiance. of the armistice, the
Servians continue to ccinimit hostilities against the
Turkish soldiers posted on the frontiers, and that he
feels himself obliged to prohibit such acts in future,
I under pain of death.

VIENNA, OCTOBER 26.
Prince Kurakin, Ambassador from Russia to our
Court, is making preparations for his departure to
France, in quality of Ambassadot to his Majesty the
Emperor Napoleon. It is believed that his Excellency
sct out the beginning of next weeks
_

It is not known who w ill succeed Prince Kurakin
at Vienna ; some assign this important post to Count
Sieven, others say it wal be g►ven Count Rassou-
mowski, a former Ambassador, who resides now at
Vienna, as a private person.
The Count de Tolstoi, late Ambassador in France,
arrived here some days ago on a visit to his family.
The advices from Constantinople continue to speak of
the energy arid activity of the Grand Vizier, Ivlusta-
pha Bairactar. He will, it is said, put himself at the
head of the army, as soon as he shall have completely
reformed it. He adminicers the gbvernment with great
severity. More than sixty public officers have been
strangled for different causes, and a still greater nuM-
her of persons of inferior rank have suffered the same
fate.

25.—The Court Cazdte announces in in oifi-
ial manner, the nomination of the Prince of Schwarz.

zenberg, Privy Councillor to the Emperor, Lieu-
tenant-General of his Armies, and Proprietor of a
Regiment of Hulans, to the functions of Ambassador
from Austria to St. Petersburgh. He only waits the
return of the Emperor to receive his final instructions

and set out for Riasia.

General Count Meerfeldt, rho formerly exercised
the same functions, has been appointed Military Com-
mandant of Lembet, and of the troops stationed in
Eastern Gallicia.

The States of Lower Austria had been convoked
some days since, for extraordinary conferences rela-
tive to several important objects, and, among others,
the alienation of some of their domains for the public
service. The Emperor proposes to open this assem-
bly himself, and as his Masty is detained in Hun-
gary, where the debates of the Diet have lasted longe:
than was expected, the convocation of the States is
deferred.

Letters from Gallicia and Hungary say, that ttae
Russian General Prince de Prosorousky has given
orders to all his troops, both in Moldavia and Walla-
chia, to begin their march for the Banks of the
Danube. They are, it is said, to occupy the whole
left bank of that river. The motive of this order i;
not known, but it may be that the march of abou:
60,000 Turks, whom the Grand Vizier has put i I
motion from Romelia, and Asia Miaor, for the e

virons of Rudshuck, has given occasion th it. Hither o
we have no positive news of the arrival of these Ott
man troops in Bulgaria, and the other districts in th
vicinity of the Danube ; but it is confirmed that Mos-
tapha Bairactar is making the most formidable pr pa-
rations in all the Ottoman Empire, and that he pr
poses to augment the armies of the Porte to a very
considerable amount.
The extraordinary levies he has ordered are execut-

ed exactly, in consequence of the fear with which he
has inspired all the Pachas, by rendering theta per-
sonally responsible for the execution of his orders.—
He has prevented all the pretexts which they usually
allege to excuse themselves from obeying. H. has,
besides, succeeded in reconciling all the Pachas and
Commanders of the troops in Romelia.
The Grand Vizier Mustapha Bairactar is not con-
tented with re-establishing discipline in the army; he
pursues his plan of forming considerable corps on tilt-.
European footing. Already three divisions of Sey-
men, distinguished by green, red and white uniforms,
count in their ranks a great number of Janissaries,
who have enrolled themselves voluntarily. One of
their Chiefs is the renegado Soliman Aga, who exer-
cises them every day in the new tactics.
The Zaims and Timariots, who amount to mo.e
than 100,000, are to pay, as an equivalent for !hoz
military service, a certain sum, which will be applit-(;
to the maintenance of the troops of the line.
The environs of Constantinople are full of solder,
which the Pachas bring in daily. Bairactar makes
them take an oath to forget all private animos ties, to
apply themselves solely to the service of the &ate.—
Tranquillity is perfectly restored, even in Rontelia.
The SultanMahomet sometimes assists in person at the
conferences of the Vizier and the Great Cfficers. The
Greek Patriarch Grigorius was deposed on the 22d of
September. He has retired to the Monastery of
Mount Athos.
The Wechabites have experienced a total defeat.
Conducted by their Chief, they laid siege to the town
of Iman Hussein, so often visited by Persian pilgrims.
They hoped' to gain the Euphrates, in order to render
themselves masters of Bussorah and Bagdad ; but the
Pacha of the latter town has comple_ely beaten them,
and puisued them to the frontiers of Arabia, and
thereby re-opened that communication so important
for the commerce of the East Indies. Egypt conti-
nues to enjoy tranquillity.
