The devaftation occafioned by the bombardment is

Several retired, to the cellars of the houfes, but the

The calamity would have hien eatrenat, bad the
bombardment recommenced, and if the capitulation
had not been entered into in time to prevent the Itorm

Yeflerday morning the HALCYON !loop of war ar-
rived at Yarmouth from El(lncur, having on board
Mr. Jacasow, our Envoy to the Court of Denmark.
Mr. Jactrams immediately fet off for London.
Mr. MEYERS, a king's Mellinger, alfo came by
the liii.cyorr, and lit off for London with difpatches.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 21ft, con-
taining Eatrafts from the Paris Journals to the t 6th
inaant. In the Siir. of the Bth intl. we laid before
our Readers what we were able to coiled from the
Papers then received, relating to the Annual Expo-
fir ion of the State of the French Empire. A more
full detail appears in the Journals before us, erpeciallY
reteding its Foreign relations—NaPoisoi has not
aced with inagnsnirnity to the Poles. During the late
campaign, while they Were employed as his inilru-
ments,theiriallantrybpatrititirm auddevotiontoFranCe;
were eitolled in the Bulletins—but their hopes have
lice!? difappointed. DantCie too enjoys /redone, under
the Go4eintneist of i French General !

From there pipers, we lArn that Sir Aurnui
Pais E+ had commenced a negociation with the Porte.
One of his propofitions is laid to have been, that
Egypt timid be delivered up to us bntil the period
of a definitive peace with nince. It is not Rated
where; or with whom the negociation was concluded.
The appearance of our fquadron created great alarm.
The Porte teemed to apprehend another and more
effeetual Wit to the capital. The garrifons in the
batteries of the Dardanelles were reinforced, and the
French officers who were proceeding to Perna hfilted
in their route, and returned to fuperintend the" de-
fence of that important paffage. The article contain-
ing this intelligence does not afford, which is very
extraordinary, any further information refpating the
defeat of the Turkifh fquadron.
The Ottoman Empire is at this moment in a moll
critical (late. While the Ruffians advanie towards
the heart of the Empire on one fide, the French are
nat inactive on the other. A confiderable portion
of that army, which was lately oppofing Bow APART!
on the Palfarge and Pregel, probably by this time
has poured into Moldavia and the contiguous pro-
trinces, and this at a moment when a Turkilll Pleni.
potentiarY was waiting the arrival of a Roffian Mini-
tier at one of the polls tipon the Danube.
We have little doubt, that France and Roffia are
agreed to as the principle upon which the partition
of Tdrkey is to be:dialled. The latter will moll likely
obtain poffc(flon of the Capital, while Greece, In ef-
feudal to the views of BONAPARTE in the Mediterra-
scan, will fall to the lot of France. That fome filch
divifion of the Turkifh territory has been determined
on, is evident, from Ruilia having ceded the iteptibiic
of the Seven Hands to France. Eitraordinary as it
may appear, there teems to be no room for quellion-
ing the faet. French troops have already taken pot-
fel:lion of Corfu.

The Kingdom of Etruria is about to fhare the fate'
of the other Italian independencies. A French corps,
tinder pretence of feizing and excluding Britifh mer-
chandise, has taken poffelnon of the ports of Fiume,
of Leghorn, and of Trick.
Another body was detached to occupy, Florence.
It will probably be incorporated with the kingdom of
Italy, or, if fuffered to retain its exilience, conferred
upon Tome of the favourites of NaroLsom—TaL.
LITRAND, perhaps.
Can Auflria look on with indifference No—But,

, .
can fhe offer any effeCludi alliance to Turkey-or',
mull fit: tamely permit the partition ? Time alone
can give the anfwer. In the interim the improvements
of her military fylftrn laid down by the Archduke
CHARLES, are carrying on with great aitivity.
An article from Stralfund, of the 7th inflant, men-
tions that the iCAnd of Rugen has been evacuated by
the Swedes. The intelligence is probably premature.
There was not chipping enough to take them off. It is
pofilble, however, that tome convention to that cited,
has been agreed upon.

All the accounts from Holland agree in Rating,
that the Dutch Government is refolved trslft rigo.
roufly to enforce the recent decree for prohibiting any
interconrfe bet ween Holland and this country. Two
Tails, which were in the ad of taking,in cargoes at
the time the decree was iffued, reached the River on
Monday, fuch (hips being exempted from the opera-
tion of the decree; and yellerday another veffel ar-
rived, which was permitted to fail under the fame
circumfiances. By this vefel we learn, that all the
eeffels and cargoes which were feized in the firft in- ,
Rance have been condemned, and fuch of the officers
and pafengert as could not render a fatisfadory
account to the authorities conßituted to carry the
decree into execution (which authorities confift ge-
nerally of Frenchmen) Are detained In cultody. It ,
has been allowed, 44 as an ail of indulgence," as
thefe conflituted authorities term it, that loch
pal-
fengers as have been taken from this country fence
the decree was Hilted, &mild be fent away with the
packets which brought them. This 46 adt of indul-
gence" makes no exception whatever id favour of
thole who are natives of Holland. A Dutch met..
chant of confidcrable refpe tability. whb had been in
this country upon mercantile bufinefs, was, on his
landing at Brine, taken into cultody, and would have
been fent immediately away, if it had not happened
that the packet. which took him had quitted the port,
owing to the prompt vigilance of the agents appoint.
ed to execute the decree. The Gentleman was,
however, obliged, before his releafe, to enter into
fecurities to the amount of 3000 guilders.
The Dutch Captains belonging to the three lafl
velfels teem to be of opinion, that the veffel which
arrived yeßerday is the lalt entitled to the exception
fpecified in the decree, and that any further arrival
from Holland is not to be looked for for foqie time,
milers the provificns of the decree be modified, or its
execution be fufpended.

Yeilerday an Airftrian courier arrived by the way
of Harwich, it the Foreign Offic:, with difpatches
from the Auftrian Government to our Court ; and
alto to his Excellency the Imperial Ambaffador. At
the fame time a metTenger arrived from Earl NM-
/WIC/I with difpatches to the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs.

Monday,the Duke Da BERRY embarked on board
the ARIADNE fr?gate, at Yarmouth, for the Con-
tinent, under a royal falute of 2 1 guns.
Yeflerday, the Dike of Yott held a public day
at his Office in the Horfe Guards, and gave andieaces
to the Marquis of Huart.sv, the Earl of CHATHAM,
Lord CASTLEREAGH, and Sir ROBERT WiLsom, for
the fira time
,fince his arrival with difpatches from
Lord HUTCHINEON. His Royal Highnefs likewile
gave audiences to Lieut. CATHCART, and a number
of other Military Officers.

The ad Battalion of the 9th Foot, upwards of 800
Rrong, under the command of Major HENRY Quo
TURD, croffed the Thames yetterday, at Tilbury, on
its march to Shorne Cliffe. This very fine regiment
has been jolt
,completed from the Leieeller, Well-
Kent, and Smerfet Militia regiments, and appears
highly equipped and fit for Rnyfervicc.
TheWandfworth Voluhteers, commandedby Major
Eomuans, marched from Wandfworth on Monday
morning lark for Croydon, on permanent duty for ten
days.
. It is how believed, that the holes which were die.
covered in the bottoms of the Dania? (Lips were cut
before the bombardment of .the town commenced,
when it was determined. to flak them, rather than
allow them to fall into our hands; ind that the holes
were fo far from being concealed, that they were
pbferved by the firft bolts that approaChed the Ratliff?

Some Papers haring inaccurately reported that .in
application had been made to Government, for tern-
porary_ relief, by the Merchants who had hipped
goods to the River Plate, we are anthoriied to Rate,
that though a private tommuhication *as held with
Mr. PERCEYAL, no requell of the kind was made.
The Gentleman who faw Mr. PaatavaL. only en-
deavoured to afcertaln, whether Government was
difpofed to refund the rif Or cent. paid on (Deb
goods as were landed at Monte Video. and might be
re-(hipped at the expiry of the two months ? whether
any or what Itipnlations General WNITELOCKS had
made for the trade ? and whether, if circumitances
frinuld render it neteirary, Government would be
dilpofed to grant all relief to thole interefted ?—ln
anfwer to the.latter inquiry, Mr. Psabavit. Paid, he
had no falls to judge from ; in confetinence of which
the " Ritensent of the grounds on which the terser.
chants may claim relief from Government," was
prepared and privately tranfmitted. The anfwer of
Mr. PratataL has been corretily Rated in the STAR,
and need not, therefore. be repeated. Copies of the
Paper were difiributed among feveral Gentlemen in-
terefled in the iffue of thefe quellions, and who were
acqnainted with the whole proceedings. Such are
the rafts, Which ought not to be perverted by thofe
who may not require relief.
We may add, that in a commercial country, what-
ever tends to promote its intereßs. and extend its
trade, mull unqueflionsibly merit the aid of Govern-
ment; and it can be neither new in principle, nor
inconfißent with found policy, to afle, and receive,
fuch aid. The individual who hazards his capital.
under the tacit fanftion of Government, has Purely a
right to affix a degree of refponfibility on that Go-
vernment; which derives additional zelourees from
his enterprize: nor is filch an expeitation either new,
or fingular—the aid afforded the Grenada merchants
and planters, in their unmerited dittref., is a fair
precedent to refort to, for extending limilar bene-
ficence infavour of the (offering fhippers to the River
Plate; and we truft the wifdom and policy of his
Majelly's Miniflers will adopt it in the prefent urgent
inllauge, mauve the fapient efforts of loose feribklers;
who endeavour to treat the bufincfs with rivity: •
