VENICE, AUGUST 17.

- .
The Gazette entitled, Rrgio Daimam, has publifhed
a letter from •Constantinople of the 17th of July, I
which it gives as authentic. The following is an ex-
traft :
44 The revolution which has
_it'll been effeeted here,
fo far from being finned, feems to recommence with
the moR terrible fymptoms. Almoß all Afia refufes
to acknowledge the new Sultan Muftapha. On
every fide is reared the liandard of rebellion. Cidi
Bafcia, the brother in law of Sultan Selina, having
affembled all ;he dilbanded troops, who formed part
of the Nizami Gedid, menaces the capital. Coffan
Oglou, Kara Ofman, and Juffuf Aga, have likewife
affembled a great number of malcontents, and are
Marching in arms to Confiantinople. The number of
the rebels amounts, it is Paid, to near 100,0Q0 They
have feized and carried off to their camp the Dervife
and the Patriarch of Cogni, the pretended defcen-
dant of Mahomet, the only perfon who can gird on
the fcimetar ofthe Grand Signior, and proclaim him
the legitimate Sovereign. Three thoufand cavalry
have deferted during the night from the capital, and
paffed over to Afia, to join the rebels. We are at
length on the eve of witneffing moR tremendous
fcents. It is to be feared, that the Sultan Sclim will
perifh by command of the prefent Sultana Valide, in
which cafe we may look fur the drama of rivers of
blood."

ROME, AUGUST u. . .
We learn From Palermo that that Court hal fent_
all the treafures of the Crown to Malta.
This eircomnance gives rif.: to various conjeltures,
particularly as a great number of French troops have
within thefe few days paged through this city, on
their way to the fouthern pasts of the kingdom of
Naples.

LINTZ, (AUSTRIA) SEPT. r.
• A Turkilll agent is arrived at Vienna, on a rniffion
from the Porte to the Auftrian cabinet. It is believed
he is charged to invite the Auftrian Government to
acknowledge the new Sultan, who as yet has not
been recognized by any European Court.
It is confidently reported, that he brings intelli-
gence of the Grand Seignior having ratified the armi-
nice concluded between the Ruffian and Turkifh
armies, and of hoflilities, which had been renewed,
being again fufpended.

ALEPPO, JULY 13.
We have received here the details of the defeat of
the Englith before Rofetta, and of their operations
fubfequent to that event.
On the 3oth of March, at feven in the morning,
the Englith; to the number of 1500 men, advanced,
with intention to potters themfelves of Rofetta. The
Ofmanlis immediately reforted to arms, and prepared
to engage them ; but Ali Bey, the Governor of the
place, prevented them, and difiributed them in dif-
ferent quarters of the town, with a prohibition to fire
a tingle mufket. The Englith approached, and fee
ing no appearance of refiftance, imagined they fhould
obtain poffeflion of Rofetta as they had done of Alez•
andria. Several detachments, therefore, entered
the town, without taking any precautions. At
this moment the Bey ordered a general difcharge to
be made on them ; the battle was fought in the
greets, and fatted till ten in the morning, when the
Englifli, defeated on every fide, fled and made their
retreat towards Alexandria. They loft in this affair
Soo prifoners, who were carried to Cairo ; one of
whom declared, that the number of troops which
landed amounted to 6000 men.
On the Bth of April another Englith divifinn ap-
peared before Rofetta, and threw in tome bons and
balls'; but the Ofmanlis, encourageo by theirmer
faced's, prepared to make a vigorous refiltance.
On the lath, a Bofniack, at the head of 17 boric-
men, killed feveral of the Englith.
In the mean time Mahomet Ali, Viceroy of Egypt,
who for fome time had been carrying on operations
againft the Mamelukes, who had retired into Upper
Egypt, concluded an alliance with them, by ceding
all the territory between Minich and the Cataraas.
On his return to Cairo, he caufed a corps of 4000
men to march upon Rofetta, which the Mamelukes
promifed to join. Thefe troops arrived at Rofetta
on the 17th c.f April. The Englith were then en-
camped at Elko, and near the Tower of Ahourman-
doul. They bombarded the city without intermiffion,
but without doing much damage.
On the loth, the corps of Kiaya Bay made a
fortie. He formed his attack in fuch a manner as to
turn the two flanks of the enemy, polled on the
heights of Abourmandoul. The Englith were obliged
to yield the field of battle to the troops of the Grand
Seignior. They loft 150 prifoners, and had issc killed
and wounded. The Kiaya Bey aftively purfued the
Englith, who effetted theit retreat to Elko, where
they were ahrioft iminedizttely blockaded by the
Deletis. The Englith mutt have been very ill in-
formo of .the Rate of this country, to aliens; t to
make a conqueß with a handful of Maltefe, Sicilians,
and foldiers colleded from every quarter.
They mite from St. John d'Acre, of the date of
May 26, that the Englith, after the numerous checks
they have fuffered at Rofetta, have not been able to
maintain themfelves at Elko, hut have rethed to
Alexandria, where, it is fupp, fed, they expea foe.
tour from Malta. This place, however, c,%a furnifh
no freth provifions, and the Englith mufk be put to'
great difficulties.
Soliman Falba has caufed an Englith General,
Major, and inferior Officers, taken in the attack on
Roletta, to be conduCted to Conflantinople, by a
Capiga Bachi, who pays the utmoft attention to his
prifoners, in confequence of the recommendation of
M. Drovetti, the French Cunful at Cairo, who like-
' wife !hewed them the greaten attention during their
flay at Cairo. The French Officers in general, exert
at their influence to alleviate the bondage of the
Englith taken prifoners by the Turks. This conduct
is merely pal, and would merit no culogium, if the
Englith in the IA war had not afted on principles
direCtly the reverie.
