VIENNA, JANUARY 16.
We leant that the English Squadron, which sailed
about the 15th of November last,,, with from 10 to
1,,300 troops, is arrived in the Archepelago.
CoNsT4NTINoPLE, DEC. Is.
The Ottoman fleet, which entered this port on the
(thing. consists of two ships of three decks, nine sail
of the line, five frigates, and a brig.
On the sth inst. the Captain Pacha (Seid Ali Pa-
din) paid a visit to the Ministers of the Porte ; and
on the 7th had an audience of the Grand Seignior,
when his Highness made him a present of a rich pe-
live and an aigrette, and bestowel on him the title
of.Galtzi (Conqueror of the Infidels). The Captain
Pacha lost three fingers in the last action which was
fought near Tenedos ; in the war before last, he had
hisloseer jaw carried away towards the close of the
ado which was fought in the Black Sea, when he,
cut through six Russian ships of the line.
ig,For some days past a North West wind
ronaed, which has obliged the English fleet
to leave the Straits of the Dardanelles ; the masters of
some Levantassert, that they have sustained such
considerable damages, that they will be compelled to
seek some port to repair them ; but the English have
eel port nearer than Malta ; already have several
ships coming, from Egypt with provisions, taken ad-
vantage of their absence to enter the Strait, and have
arrived at this capital.—Noniteu. r, Jan. 29.

MILAN, JAN. 17.
Great preparations are making in the Arsenal of
Venice for the construction of a considerable number
of ships of the line and frigates ; several are already
on the stocks. In a few years that city will have in
its port a formidable fleet.

TRIESTE, JAN. it.
Yesterday our town witnessed a very unexpected
sight—all at once appeared a Russian fleet of 15 sail,
which anchored in our road : amongst the number are
three ships of the line, two large frigates of 50 guns,
and several corvettes, &c. It seems that this naval
farce will pass the remainder of the winter here—their
visit will be doubtless aL:vantageous to this City, to
which. the Russians will insure a defence against
;Ingland.

They write from Riga, that some merchants or
commercial agents, having • attempted to carry off
some English commodities which were in the ware

Accoiding to accounts from Sweden, travellers
passing through that country fro n Norway, are for-
bidden in any manner to leave the main road.

of war, a brig, and two cutters, are cruizing off the
