ACHA F FEN BURG, DEC. 1.

His Highness the prince primate has received, by a
courier, an invitation to Paris, and has already arrived
at Regensburg, from whence he took his departure
on the 25th ult. From these circumstances it is in-
ferred that matters of the greatest importance respect-
ing the Confederation of the Rhine are in agitation
at Paris. _

PETERSBURG, OCT. 25.
Gxm. PLATOW, of the Moldavian army, has de-
feated a division of the Turkish army, intended to
relieve Silistri a, and taken prisoner the Pasha of
three toils and a great part of his corps. It is like-
wise reported that Silistria is taken.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT 2.
We have received here the unpleasant intelligence
that the Russians since the conquest of Ismail, have
assembled in great force in the neighbourhood of Si.
listria. It is time for the grand Vizier to shew him.
self active before the winter sets in • for the Asiatic
troops, which compose nearly,half Of his army, will
not remain with him longer than about the end of
this month, but they return home for at least six
months.
We have great plenty of provisions here, which
arrive in abundance from Egypt and the other
provinces on the Mediterranean sea. This plenty is
the principal cause of the tranquility which reigns
here.

This morning three more Gottenburgh Mails ar-
rived, bringing letters and papers from Germany to
the 10th instant.
Intelligence has been received at Stockholm of the
final conclusion of Peace between Denmark *ad
Sweden : the terms have not transpired, but it was
reported that Sweden had reserved the right to itn-
port colonial produce, unmolested. No mention is
made of Great Britain in the Treaty. The late King
of Sweden, Gusravus IV. is on his way to Baden,
where he means to reside in future. The present
King, who had been attacked with apoplexy, has
recovered. The renewal of commerce between Den-
mark and Sweden has already taken place.
West India articles are still permitted to be sent
from Hamburgh into the interior, notwithstanding
7
the rigour of the new custom-house arrangem in
other particulars. By an Imperial decree of APO•
LEON, given under the date of the 6th instant, from
Hamburgh, colonial produce captured by French
privateers will be admitted into France. The allies ,
of BONAPARTE, under the conviction of the importance
of destroying the English trade on the Continent,
promote as much as possible the measures for its sup•
pression, and omit no opportunity of declaring their
determination to do so. Commissaries have been ap-
pointed, by the Danish Government, in the cities of
Tonningen, Husum, Gluckstadt, and Altona, to con-
fiscate all English merchandize in those places. By
intelligence from Aschaffenburg, of the lit inst. it
appears that matters of the greatest importance are
under discussion at Paris respecting the Confedera-
tion of the Rhine.

By the private letters from Petersburgh, it appears
that the exchange on Foreign bills has fallen from 22
to 164—Notwithstanding the avowed restrictions im-
posed upon trade for the purpose of injuring Eng-
land, the Merchants say they have reason to be satis-
fied with the extent of the preceding year's business.
The public accounts from Petersburgh respecting
the war with Turkey, are similar to those before re-
ceived through other channels. The Turks do not
appear to present any formidable resistance to the
advances of their adversaries into the heart of their
dominions.

Several ships are already frozen in at Riga, where
of course they must remain till the Spring of the en-
suing year.
The exportation of corn appears to be still per-
mitted from the Prussian dominions.
There is a rumour, received from Holland, that
BONAPARTE has actually ordered 100,000 of his troops
in Germany and Italy to proceed immediately into
Turkey.

The insurrection in the Tyrol is once more in full
activity under the enterprising HOFER. They have
commenced their career by intercepting couriers, and
cutting off convoys. The PRINCE PRIMATE has set
out for Paris. The Tyrol is not the only place where
the French are annoyed by petty bostilitits.-in Ca.
viola the inhabitants have risen.
