as the Wand of St. Thomas ; but 113ould the original
intention of the French Admiral have been that of
making the belt of hit way home, it isnot unlikely,
that the dread of having four Englifh line of battle
fhips hanging on his rear "during fo long a voyage,
may have induced him to dire& his courfe to Porto
Rico, or St. Domingo and even ;n this plan of

Sir ALIIANDII COCHIANI was to windward of
the enemy ; an advantage which almoft compen.
fated for his inequal-ty of force. It would enable
him to decline an engagement, until he could com.

efcape of the enemy impolEhle, except their fhips
were very fuperior failets indeed.
The Hamburgh Mail, due on Sunday US, arrived
at a late hour 'aft night.
The principal intelligence received by this convey.
ance relates to the new Constitution p.ojeacd. for
Germany. On this fubjell we have received front
liar private Correfpondents very ample details, from
which we fele& the following important particulars
Ifenburg, Salm•Salm, Salm-Kirburg, Hohensol-
leen, Arerburg, Nartau Ulngen, and Weilburg, be.
come Sovereign Houfes, engage in the new Federaa
tinn, and with feveral others, formally renounced at
Ratirbon their connation with the German Empire,
on the ill of Auguft.
The Federation is to be formed into two Colleges,
that of Kings and that of Princes. The firrt confifis
of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden ; and the Elec.
toral Arch Chancellor prefides in it as Primate of Ger-
many. The College of Princes is formed of the above
aimed Princes, and the future Duke of Naffau Utin-
re prefides in it. When the Primate dies, his
Siefert°, is ro be named by France.
The Federation engages, in cafe of an attack, to
fa:milli France with 73,000 men, and France soo,coo
to the Federation.

In exchange for Deutz Villich and Koenigfwinter,
which Ufingen by this Convention has jun ceded to
the Duke of Cleve., it receives the territorial Sove-
reigns y of the Counties of Wied, Nensvied, and all
the polnillons of the Knights of the Empire in its
old and new States.

The floats of Baden, Cleves, Darmflath, and
Wei!burg, are to have the dignity of Grand Duke,
hecaufe the title of Emperor of Germany being about
to he abnlifhed (as was ftated, exelufively, in the STA..

France, is abolifised in all points, except the penfions
of Ecclefiallics. Befides this, Orange Folds is to be
ceded s but to whom, or for what indemnity, is not ft,
known. But we can Rate, that before the Mail left '
Haniburgh, accounts bad reached that city, that the
French had occupied Fulda.

Other particulars, relating to the important change
which Germany is now undergoing, will be found in
the fubjoined articles :
HAMBUROH, AUG. j.
Since the conclufion of Peace between France and
Ruffia, the fears of a new breach between France
and Auftria are wholly diffipsted t and it is hoped
that the confequences will be feen in the altered
movement of the troops, as loon as the Treaty of
Peace is ratified by Ruffra. It is alto expedted that
Auftria will then give its taint to the Federation
of the Rhine. It is however fappofed that the French
will remain in Germany till the new (yam is carried
into -rife& In the North, the motions of Sweden
and Pruffii kens to be paralized, or rather fufpended;
in expedtation of the event of the Negotiations between
France and England, on which all eyes are turned.We
are particularly eurionsto know the fate Of Hanover,
which moll people however teem to believe will not re•
main in the hands of Pratt. A Gentleman, who arriv.
ed yelierday from Berlin, where be has been for tome
weeks, lays, there is a report in circulation, that
Hanover will be reftored to England, and that Pruffia
will obtain in exchange the greateft part, if not the
whole of the Eledorate of Saxony, either immedi.
stely or at the death of the prefent Eleaor, who has •
no male iffue. What in the former cafe is to become
of the Eleaor is not faid. PrufGa, it is fuppofed,

Today an account was received here, that the

Pruffians were starching to the Ems. A Pram
army of ao,ooo men is affemb/ing near Munfter.
On ilea ad inn. the Pruffian garrifon marched out of

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNEra•
Strong rneafures were lately taken by our Govern.
ment, Turkifh fubjefts trading under the
_ _ _ . .

Rut Gan flag, to compel them to give np the ufe of
that nag. The people confidered there meafures u
harbingers of a fpeedy rupture with Ruffle. On the
one hand, the troubles that have thence viten in the
Turkifh provinces, and on the other, the embafGes
of foreign powers, who with well to the Turks, have

induced the Government to fend orders to the Gover-
nors of all the provinces, to contradift the reports of
a enifunderftanding with Ruffia, and to leave the Fir.
mans about the flags without effete, for the prefent.
It is beyond all doubt that the whole bufinefs is fully
ended, conformably to the goad underftanding be.
tween the two powers. It is agreed between the Ruf.
flan Ambaffedor and the Turkifh Miniftry, that the
affair !hall be left to the examination of the Chancery
of the Ruffian Embaffy for Commercial Affairs, con•
jointly with our Admiralty.
According to the laft letters from Afia, the We.
chabites c intinue to make veky confiderable pro.
grecs. They have made thenifelve.mafters of Mecca
and Medina, and greatly diflurb the Pilgrims.
The corps of troop. of 20,C00 men, which was
affembled near Scutarn, in Netolia, has already
paired the lea, and is encamped near Levant
Tcbifli, not fir from Pcra. Their good difciplior
is greatly admired._Another corps of 40,000 Inc''

will encamp near Tira (not far from the mouth
the Borphorus) where a fort will be ereeled, s
which the engineers Taufferand and Rodde have re.
ceived orders to prepare a plan.
Of the Turkifh fquadron lately mentioned, only
three frigates have put to fea, with which the Capi-
tau P‘lls will fail for Egypt, to carry the new Go.
