VIENNA, FEB. 6.

I:he news from Turkey is warlike ; two armies are '
assembling, consisting of 150,000 men each, for the
purpose ofbeing prepared on all points, and the fleet
is abundantly provisioned. The Porte seems inclined
to the side of England ; and it is feared that the Eng-
lish may occupy -Egypt and the Morea, with the con-
sent of his Highness.

According to the latest intelligence from Herman-
statt, a corps of Turkish troops passed the frontier by
main force ; they committed various excesses on our
territory, but were at last repulsed by the cordon of
Imperial troops.

:The Russian troops on the left bank of the Danube
&Am to make preparations for opening a vigorous
campaign in the beginning of the Spring, when the
-armistice will expire, unless an actual peace should

time. In the conquered fortresses of Choczyn and
Bender, and at Jassy, Fockschan, and Bucharest; the
Russian gunners are employed without intermission
in the preparation of ammunition of every kind.

STRASBURGH, FEB. 4.
We learn that, in consequence of the adherence of
Austria to the Continental system, all the English
will be expelled the Austrian States. Colonial pro-
duce has risen here in price, a necessary effect of the
preference they enjoy in all the markets of the Con,
tinent.

BANKS OF THE MAINE, FEB. 9.
It is said Prussia wishes to accede to the confedera-
tion of the Rhine ; the instructions of Prince Henry
of Prussia relate to this object. It appears certain,
according' to the last letters from Paris, that the
country of Harau will be the portion of the Prince
Primate, and that that Sovereign will cede in
ex-
change the town of Ratisbon.

MAYENCE, FEB. 9.
The 7th of this month his Excellency Marshal K el-,
'leiman solemnly took possession ,if Castel and Cos-
theim in the name of his Majesty the Emperor and
King Napoleon. The depots of troops which are in
this town and several others situated on the Rhine,
have received orders to advance to the Southern fron-
tiers of the empire i it is thought that these troops,
whose number is considerable, will go to reinforce
the army of Marshal Moncey, which appears destined
to an important expedition.

AUGSBURGH, FEB. 17.
All cordons of Austrian troops are dissolved, ex-
cept those on the frontier of Turkey and the coast of
the Adriatic.
Count Stadion, the Austrian Minister of Foreign
Relations, has very frequent conferences with the
French and R*ssian Ministers, which are supposed to•
relate to the measures which Austria-shall take with
regard to Eagland.

NAPLES, FEB. 5.
It has long been foreseen, that, as soon as the new
internal regulation of this kingdom ( which had become
necessary from the change in the dynasty and the
political situation), should be sufficiently established,
and as soon as political circumstances should permit
or require, our Government would he seriously bent
upon obtaining possession of the transmarine part of
this kingdom, the island of Sicily. But before this
is actually taken in hand, it is required to drive the
English from the only post which they have occupied
in the Continental part of this kingdom, nay, of all
Italy, namely, the fort Scylla, situated on a rock in
the Straits of Messina. The siege of that fort will,
it seems, be one of the first employments of the army
which is assembling in Calabria, and the operations of
which cannot fail of success. The King is preparing
to go to the said army in person, so we may soon ex-
pect to heir some further account of its operations.

LISBON, JANUARY 18.
On the 14th instant Admiral Siniavin gave a bril-
liant fete on board his ship ; all the Staff Officers and!
a great number of Portuguese of the first distinction
were present ; the General in Chief, Junot, is to give
a ball within a few days, to the Admiral and the
Officers of his squadron.
The Accountant's Office of the department beyond
the seas, connected with the Minister's Office of the
Treasury, is abolished. This measure has excited a
very strong sensation among our merchants and poli-
ticians, as it seems to indicate that it is not intended
for the present w preserve any connection between
the Portuguese colonies and the Mother Country.
VALENTIA, lAN. 24.

Together with the strict measures taken by France
and her Allies against the communication with Eng-
land, the needful precautions are taken to prevent
ships, belonging to the Continental Powers, from fail-
ing into the handsof the British. The Intendant of
the Army, Don Francisco Xavier de Asperos, has
made the following communication to the Company
of Merchants in this sea port town :
" Whereas his Highness the Prince Grand Admiral, has in-
formed me, that the Emperor of the French and King of Italy boo
resolved, that no Danish, Dutch, Spanish, or other ships of hil
fillies shall be permitted to sail from any French port, that they,
may not run the risk of being captured by the English—now the
King, animated by a similar precaution, has thought proper to re-
solve that the same measures shall be adopted in all ports of
his kingdom, and that no French, Danish, Dutch, or other ves-
sels, belonging to the countries of his allies, shall be permitted to
sail, and this solely with a view, that they may not be exposed to
capture by the English."
