_
Lord TEMPLE rote to make a motion; of which
he had not given notice, but the propriety of which
he thought the Houfe would confider as rendering
any notice unneceffary. There was a claufe in an
Aft of James I. which prohibited every perfon from
purchafing hark who was not a tanner. But every
Gentleman mull be aware of the impropriety of any
fuch refirillion. On this Claufe, however, he had.
Ilearnt that various informations had been raifed,which
might fubjed individuals to vexatious penalties ; but
as it was nut pra6icable to repeal the Aft in the pre-
fent &Ginn, he a ifhed only that the operation of the
claufe thould be fulpended, and therefore moved, that
the Ulnae do tomorrow refolve itfclf into a Commit-
tee to confider of fo much of the Aft as related to
the regrating and engrofling of Oak Bark.
Mr. FELLOWES fuggelled, that the fufpenfion
fhonld alto extend to that part of the AEI which pro-
hibited a farmer or butcher from felling hides to dny
one but a tanner.
Lord TEMPLE acquiefeed in the propriety of this
obfervation, and the motion was agreed to.

TURKS AND RUSSIANS.

Our Readers mull bare leen from the Complexion
of the intelligence given in the Paris journals for fame
time pan, that the French intereft has lately gained
an afeendaney at Conflacitinople that threatens a war
between the Porte and Ruffla. That the Cabinet of
St. Cloud has for a con6dcrable time been labout ing

to bring on Inch a rupture cannot be doubted, and
we are conspned to be obliged to Qate that we have
every reafun to fear their efforts will prove but too
foccefsful.

At a erilis like the prefent. any intelligence that

levees to throw light on a queftion of fuch importance
to the intereils of Europe, cannit but prove highly
acceptable. We arc therefore happy in being enabled
to lay before our Readers the following letter, which
comes from the Srft authority:
CONSTAEITINOPLE, OCTOBER to.
" Since my hill, public affairs in this country have
" taken a very unexpefted turn. The French intlu—
" ence has gained loch an afcendaocy with the Divan
" that it is now very generally believed in the bee
" informed circles bare, that the Porte is on the eve

" of a war with Ruffia.
" The Ruffian Ambaffador and his fuite have
" every thing packed up, and are ready to fet off at a
" moment. Yefterday he gave orders far all the
" weals carrying the flag of that nation, to fail im•
44 mcdiately, and at the fame time recommended to
" the Ruffian Merchants to apply to the Eaglifb
• Aasbaffador for protation, as he would in future
" crania& whatever .bulinefs related to affairs be
" twecn the Ruffians and Turks.
Notwithflanding all this many of us here hope,
'4 perhaps becaufe we with it, that matters will not'
" come to an 'dual rupture. It cannot be for the
" interell of the Turks to involve themfelves in a
" war with a power in intimate alliance with Great
" Britain, and which can do them fnel: ferions in-
" jury, and therefore we have firong reafons to be-
" litre that they will avoid it if they can; but whe•
▪ they they will be able, confide:in the affiduous
" perfeveranee with whieh the French endeavour to
41 blow up the flames of war, is a querlinn which
os time alone will be able to unfold. Much will de-
" pond on the events that may take place in the war
" that now threatens the North of Germany."

THE LATE NEGOCIATION.

- -
On this fubjea a demi•offcial work was publifbed
Janda, by Mr. STOCISDA LE ; at leaf fo we confider
it, as it is evidently the produCtion of loins perfon
annulled with the fecrets of Government. The offi-
cial information it contains is of great importance,
and therefore wt would not think ourfelves jellified
in withholding it from our Readers. The Author's
reafoniog we have not time to examine, nor does it
concern us—the public will judge (or themfelves.—
We confider the produCtion as a bin(' Ants& of the
documents to be laid before both Hfflif.s of Parlia•
ment, by order of his MAJES TY. After a vafi vane; y
of preliminary obfervations upon the general (hie and
afpee of public affairs, the writer p. ti( cc& thus :

Rull confented to treat wi.h France upon the
famp'e baits of the flaw ask k//ant, with regard to her-
felf. Now, as RotEa had astuter gained nor I dl any
territy,or theil,./to ante heihnii,with regard to her, *At
the lame as the Hate of aaual polfeinon—the forces of
the two belligerents having only to retire, and leave
y thing as they bad found it.—RufEa, therefore,
had no firmer propoled this foils of treaty to France,
than France pros:s.46l the fare to England. This
principle, however, as applied in different circom-
itances, :,ccame nominally a different hafts—with re.
yard to Ruf6a it was the flaw site re•
gari to England, the otipllletis.—Bat the difference,
8, is evident nit the face,; vas but merely nominal.
It was in this Oita of cocumllances that the over.
ture was made by France—lit ft in Matti and genet 41

The propofals of France were now dwindled down
to the celLon of the Cape, Malta, and the reftoration
of Hanover, and a free commerce upon paying cer-
tain Allotted duties, for which England was to foriren-
der all other conquered inane's, and to confirm, &c.
&c. the nate nt •Anal poffeffion with regard to
France and her Allies.

It was now that another incident arufe on the ge-
neral date of European affairs, which was not with-
out a molt confiderable, and immediate effeB, upon
the relations on all fides—This was the declare and
even angy tone affunted by Pruffia in her intercourfs
with France—The perfidy of the Court of Paris Mad
at length ontilript that of the Court of Berlin, and .
the latter. having already 101 l its honour. found it ne-
ceffary to enter into ,a cunflif for her exitience. The
feafon for iemporifihg was now pall, and though in
the habit of eluding, the had now loft half her Mi-
rage to ad ; the enemy was on her frontier, and it •
was necelfary to march forward and meet him.
This dilpofition of Pruffia doubtlefs improved the
fituation of the Earl of Lauderdale.

The Government of France, on their part, were
rendared by the fame event more anxious for a final
•
fettlanient between France and England.
This change of circumflance produced accordingly
a change of the form of Negotiation on bo:h-fideat
fnme conceffions were made on the part of the French
Government, which induced Ms Eat l of Lauderdale

Yefierday, after our paper had been a (bort time
at pas, an account was received by Exprefs, from
Dover, that a French Flag of Truce had yefterday
morning appeared off that port, by which fome pro-
pofitions from the French Government were fuppofed
to have been brought over. Similar intelligence was
received in the City, and the Stocks role a little in
confequence. To Rate the various rumours to which
this intelligence gave rife, would be of tto tile. It is
of more importance that we thould inform our Rea-
ders of the precife fads, which letters received this
morning from Dover, enable us to do with corredlnefs.
Yellerday morning, at eight o'clock, a French boat
arrived in Dover Roads, bearing a Flag of Truce :
fhe left Boulogne the preceding night, and had on
board a Capitaine de negate, who was charged with
Difpatches for the Brit ifh Government, a hich he had
orders to put on board the firfi Englifh cruiser he
might fall in with. One of the Dover boats went off
to her on her arrival, and carried the Captain, with
hi► Difpatches, on board the Vigils frigate, which
was cruising near that place. The French Captain
after delivering ois Difpatches to Captain Marriott, re-
turned to his boat, and made fail for the French coat,
and the Vi Nu' went immediately to the Downs.
The difpatches alluded to reached Mr. Secretary
Fox's office yefierday afternoon. They are from M
TA:Ass:taxis, the French Miniver for Foreign Af-
fairs, and the report in Come of the political circles
is, that they adually contain a pacific overture from
the French Government.

Immediately on receipt of the difpatch, Mr.
Fox repaired to the Queen's Houfe, and communi.
cated its contents to his MAJESTY ; after which a Ca-
binet Council was held at the Foreign Office, the re.
full of which, if we may credit report, was, that the
prefcribed bafis of the propofed Negociation was in
a great mcafure deemed inadmillible ; but that his
Majefiy would ever be ready to treat of peace on
honourable and equitable terms, compatible with
the dignity of his Crown, the interefts of his People,
and the (comity of his Empire. .

We fhould however add, that in other cirdes it is
aliened the difpatches are merely a reply on the part
of the French to the anfwer given by our Tranfport
Board to the meffAge lately received, relpalin the
exchange of prifunerl.

TO THE EDITOR OF isIE STAR.

ARMY.

;y.

Si--The Brevet rank of Major is the lora reward
of that na,nre which is granted for long fervices in
the Britifh Army ; and so. the mind of an ;41piring
&Adler, who ha. expended the whole of his patrimo-
ny is the purchafe of a Captain's CommiCfion, it has
been lime ermfolation to look forward to the Becalm,
after ten years Service as a Captain, and probably five
or fix as a Subaltern. The !all promotion did not
extend to the Captains oft ygy, though tome of them
are now entering on their twelfth year ! The reafon
of this negh6l is beR known to the Commander in
Chief : but he cannot be ignorant—that the hope of
the Brevet rank fecures to the country the fervice of
:ers of experience, who would, otherwife, retire
it difcouraged by the llownefs and uncertainty
Regimental Prcmotion. • The Brevet .rank is eer-,
tautly intended as a reward for Officers who have
been unfortunate in their regimental promotion—and
it is the cheaped the country can bellow, as no addi-
tional pay is attached to it. When an Officer has
been ten years a Captain, and four or five years a
Subaltern, making fifteen years fctvice—is he not en.
titled to the Brevet rank of Major, when we take
into canfideration, that it is merely an honour not at-
tended with any additional expense to the nation ?

PRCISSIA.

BERLIN, MARCH I I.—ln the Convention conclud-
ed at Paris, between Pruflia and France, it has been
ftipulated, that after the ratification of the Treaty,
the French troops fhould evacuate Germany. Na-
poleon promifed to do fo, but Lome new pretext will
he found to prolong their (lay. In the fame conven.
tion Napoleon propofes a Treaty of Alliance between
France and Prullia ; but our King, in the ratification
of the convention, modified this article In far, that the
alliance is re (trifled to a neutral guarantee of the ter-
ritories ceded and occupied. Ab tut the Ath the
French ratification is expefted.
It is laid that the provifional occupation of Hano-
ver by Pr ullia was not difagreeable to the Britifh Go
vernment. It remains to be feen what will b: the
effeet of the abfolute occupation ti it. As loon as the
ratification arrives from France it is expated that 4
circular note will be fent to all the Pruffian Minifters,
to be communicated to the Courts where they reticle.

As it is Paid, Baron Hardenberg would have no
concern with the late negociations with France, he
withed to refign, but was prevailed upon to continue
in office.

A private letter from Vienna, of the sth of March,
fays, that the Atalrian Government had refuted the
requelled permifflon to march through B..hemia to
Venetian Dalmatia ; and it was declated, that any
French or Praia!) troops marching through Bohemia,
would be confidered as enemies. The French have
treated Triefle with extreme rigour, enforcin:., all the
contributions which by the treaty of peace nuoht to
have been remitted. Marfhal Maffena is 1t0...Li to
have laid, that he had orders to treat Trie.te w.th
feverity, becaufe it had fupplied the Engl.h. fleet in
the Mediterranean with provifions, and by that 'mans
contributed to enable Lord Nelfon to pto:tte tic
French and pin the vidbry of Trafalgar.

of form and expediency, than on any objeElion to the
Serjeant's appointment. The ptincipal Speakers
were, Lords Grantley, Lae, and William ltuffell,
Sir I'. Turton, Serjeant Ben, Mr. Sumner, and Mr.

It —T have obferved in your conduit rather a
with :o prevent or ref irm abaci, than to decry or
eipol the authors of them. In podding the objea,
which I have is view in the Wafer* addreli to yen,
I than adopt that plan, and (pate the individuals
though I mull deprecate the conch& of the fpeciee.
n an Indianan arrives in this coontry, a lilt
of the Pafreingers is given by am. Ptitrer, and generally
Lind, its way into the public papers. nig lilt is
fregnently that which was made out on leaeiog
dia, aid no regard is paid to the al•crations that may
have taken place dining the voyage. Of this neglea
I with to make a complaint, and to prevent this con•
tine ince. When the cafe, to which I allude, is con-
fidercji it will be fern that my motives are thole of
delicacy and humanity.
A widow Lady of great refpe&ability in this coon-
try, had an only fon in India, whofe ftate of health
demanded an immediate change of climate. Some
neceffary delay t.iok place, during wbi.h he was re-
duced to a tituation, which left him little chance of
reaching England. By a Chip which had a (honer
pillage, the was informed of the little probability the
had of ever fecing her fon. Her confidential friends
dijd not in efume to excite her hopes; the had, by the
alliance of reafnn and the confolati ns of religion,
brought her mind to that hate of refignatinn, which
prepared her to meet the expeAed firoke with forti—
tude. At tall the Chip arrived, and Ike read in the
lift of patTengers the name of her fon. In propor-
tion to the depth of dcfpair, in which the had been
funk, the was now railed to the height of joy and gra-
titude. She preparedato receive her fun. She re-
ceived no letter; the therefore every in meat weeks"
him ; every found brought him in fancy to her arms.
In two days (be heard the tidings, that he had died on
the paffage !
All that I could add would I am perfuaded, only
weaken the died, which this recital mutt snake on
the heart of fenlibility. I leave the confederation to
thofe, whole neglect occafioned her &firers : if they
have a heart to feel, or a head to think, they will
adopt meafures to prevent the recurrence of fo cruel
a liroke.

Some months have elapfed (ince the event wink
place ; if I have not written before, it was beeaufe I
knew that the would fee your Paper, and 1 wiited
tiU time had a littic blunted the edge of her diiirefs.

THE I X PEDITIONS.

The brigade under Sir S. ACHNUTY, conning of
a Company of the Royal Artillery, a detachment of
Riflemen (95th), the 45th and 87th infantry, which
lately failed, proceed direB for Buenos Ayres.
" PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

" The 9th Light Dragoons embarked this mor-
ning, and in high Rile : with them are now embarked
here a company of Artillery, the 17th Dragoons, the
gth, 36th, 88th Foot, and four German regiments ;
the 79th, or Cameronian Highlanders, are expeded
round from the Downs, and it is faid that as the 89th
is now cured of the ophthalmia, they will be re-em-
barked immediately.
"No Staff but the Medical has yet arrived, and it is
very flrong ; Dr. THOMSON, the Deputy Infpedor, is
at the head of it, with a numerous train of phyricians,
apothecaries, flaff furgeons, purveyors, &c. This does
not pleafe : it looks as if we were going to a dißant
and unhealthy climate. Every tranfport has flat bot-
tomed boats, and we are all vidualled for a long
voyage, and copper bottomed. The bodes of Ge•
neral CItAWYUItD, our Commander in Chief, as well
as his baggage, have arrived ; In that we are hourly
looking for himfelf, and in hopes of getting off from
this mod turbulent and molt extravagant quarter."
London, England, 1806-10-02

THE ARMY.

Though the heavy cavalry, the Greys, Blots, and
Bays, Brit entered for fervicc, will nut be immediately
called for, yet it is not improbable but that they may
yet be wasted. More light cavalry, we have reafon
'to think, will be called for.

Inftead of the loth and 15th Light Dragoons, firft
intended, two very fine regiments, tbe gth and 17th,
have been firft called upon for fervice. It is not irn-
proSable but that Colonel H awe ea's noble corps, the
14. th Light Dragoons. may neat be fent on fervice.
Should Lientenant.General Wirtvaxocx go on
fervice. there will be a vacancy in the Infpeaor Gene-
ralfirip of the Recruiting Service.
The Troops which failed from Portfinouth about
June laft, and which were wind•bound for two or
three days, at Falmouth, were deflioed for the Cape
of Good Hope, and alfo for Malta, &c. ; confequently
reinforcements mull have reached our gallant coun.
trymen, both in Italy under Sir Jam Sxtrartx, and
in Spanifh America under General EtsRISFORD, long
before this. The Both and 3 ill formed part of thole
troops.

thw Elca'orste of Hanover is to be occupied by
