Just as our Paper was putting to press we received
a letter from a friend at Palermo, dated the 28th Oc,
tuber, from which we copy the following :
P. S. 28th Oct.-1 open my letter to inform you
that a report is this moment circulated, that Constan"
tinople kas been taken by the Russians ! I have not
been able yet to learn the precise truth ; but, certain
it is, that some dreadful intelligence has been zeceived
from that quarter."

A letter from Vera Cruz, dated the 18th August,
states, that a contrariety of opinion has arisen between
the merchants and the populace. All the trading in-
terest appears to be in favour of continuing the com-
merce on the footing it has lately acquired, either by
the direct perrnision of the Public Authorities, or by
the relaxatiu,i of the Prohibitory Laws. The natives,
in general, are advocates for the exclusion of all fo-
reign connection, and for the maintenance of the in-
tercourse with Europe through the medium of the
Parent State and her Colonies. In this purpose the
people are supported by the Government resident at
Seville. It is added, that the Officers at this depen-
dency of the Spanish Crown are very much under
the controul of the lower orders, and, that they would
be exposed to serious danger in case of bribery or
snalversatiem, which would be promptly discovered
and severely punished,

Private letters have been received from Holland of
the 29th ult. which state that King Louis had set off
for Paris. They also intimate that his immediate
return is not expected. We should not be surprised
if the threat so often denounced against Holland by
NAPOLEON, namely, its incorporation with France,
was on the point of being carried into effect, and
that Louis was to be provided for elsewhere. The
Duchy of Warsaw, and the conquests from Austria
in Poland, offer a convenient and adequate compen-
sation to him for the loss of his Dutch Sovereignty.
These letters als..l.mention the arrival of the King
of BAVARIA at Paris ; an occurrence net noted in the
French papers. They allude to the intended change
in NAPOLEON'S tide, as a project publicly avowed.
The new title will be as comprehensive as any that
vanity and ambition have ever devised. Instead of
Emperor of the WEST, it is said, he means to have
himself proclaimed Autocrat of the WEST !
In a Royal Gazette of Amsterdam, received yester-
day, there is an article, dated Burgos, November 6,
in AV!liCil it is acknowledged, that a Spanish army of
from thirty to thirty-five thousand men had arrived
in the neighbourhood of Salamanca, where they en-
gaged and surrounded the sixth battalion of the
French ; but it is added, that a body of troops af-
terwards advanced under the command of General
KELLERNIAN, who being joined by General DESSOL.
Les, with the division of reserve, Salamanca was re-
taken. We believe, that this allegation is wholly un-
(minded.

In an article from Frankfort of November 15, it is
mentioned, on the authority of letters from Moldavia,
that the Rus6ans had gained a decisive victory be-
tween Silistria and Adrianople, and that inconsequence
of this event they had advanced southward. The
crisis of the Ottoman power seems to be rapidly ap-
proaching. Silistria is seated near the confluence of the
river Missovo and the Danube. It is about 170 miles
north cast of Adrianople, and the latter is only 115
(rem the Turkish capital.

By accounts from Milan, dated the 14111 ult. we
learn that the Prince Viceroy had arrived at that city
from his head-quarters at Villach. From the lake of
Haarlem, 27th of the same month, it is said that the
Prussian Colonel Von KM:SEIMARK who brought dis-
patches with the intelligence of the accouchement of the
Queen oi, PRussrA, has been honoured by an audi-
ence of the Emperor NapoLgotz, which continued
during two hours, His Majesty received him most'
politely, and presentee him with a ring of great
value. The Emperor was extremely cheerful, and
in the higlwst health,

Letters have likewise reached town from the shores
of the Weser, which present one information re-
specting military aff-iirs in Germany, the fate that
:.rafts the Hanse Towns, and some other matters of
imponunev. The following is an extract from one
of these letters ;

NATAL INTELLIGENCE.

• FALMOUTH, DEC. 4.

Arrived the Eliza packet, Captain SIMPSON, from
Gibraltar and Malta, 14 days from the former place.
—Sailed the Regard, CLEMENTS, for Portsmouth ;
Diligence, WELSII, and Alice, PETERS, for Dublin.

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 7.

Arrived his Majesty's ship VICTORY from the Downs;
VIOLET cutter, with a convoy, from Guernsey ; and
the TALBOT, from Leith.—Wind W.S.W.

DOVER, DECEMBER 7.

have frequently had occasion to take notice of ;
the enemy's cruizers, which so frequently appear off
this place, and commit depredations on our com-
merce ; but, although it must be well known that
our trade suffers daily from these vessels, still there
is not that look-out after them that might be expected
from the number of cruizers that arc upon this sta-
tion. This afternoon, between three and four, two of
the enemy's luggers were observed from the beach
stretching over, and shortly after they were observed
to give chace to two vessels coming up from the
Westward with a stiff breeze from W.S.W. With the
headmost they came up about four o'clock, and run
her alongside, but soon left her, and we naturally
expected to see the brig alter her course for the French
coast ; she hovt ever did not, and is now coming up ;
as she appears to be light, we suppose the Frenchmen
did not think it worth while to weaken their crews
by taking her, but went after the other, which was
a bark, and soon came near enough to engage her
with small arms. The bark fired her stern-chasers at
the luggers, and not being above two miles from
Cock Point Battery, from whence a sharp firing was
kept up, the luggers gave up the pursuit, and run a
little way out to sea, where they are now lying under
their jibs and mizens, in the right track of ships
coming up Channel.—l learn by some people just
come from the hills, that there are four more luggers
coming over, and a brig of war is coming up from
Dungeness under a press of sale ; I hope she will
get up with some of these daring cruizers.
