The Government of the SAlime Porte had de_
rnanded from M. ITALINSKY, that he (hould pledge
hinifelf, as the Mitutter of his Imperial Midas., that
the army under General MICHELS. I 4 and the Duke
d: Ricatutu, lhould retire from Wallachia and
Moldavia, within fAnteers days from the time in
which they fhould receive notice by a Ruffian and
Turki Courier. It wart in vain th .M. ITALINSILY
Tepitftllted, that fuch a pledge was not within his
power ; that General Micattsna and the Dula? de
RrcHsutu were in nu way fubjeft to his anthotity ;
I and that his powers,as Envoy,erimprehenclecl nothing
but ••hat was itinal and neceffary in the ordinary in•
tercourfe of States at pc:l:e ; ITALINSKY WAS in
confequence commanded to leave Cuntlantinople
within three days, under penalty of arra and im-
priConment if fourd in the Turkifh dominions after
that period. The Ambaffador prudently embarked
the fame day. In the mean time Mr. AIgUTHIIOT
excited himfcif to reconcile there unpleafant differ-
ences, and with fuch ci,mplete eff.:Ci, drat M. Ira
LIN SKY was about to return and refutne his Nations
as Ambaffador.

The Dry of ALGIERS had availed himfelf of this
inefficient rupture to commence holtilitiesagainli the
Ruffians ; but it is Rated that this difference has like-
wife been reconciled ; and that, by a viciffitude not
uncommon in Barbary politics, he had at the fame
moment proclaimed peace with Ruflia, and war with
France. So much is certain,
that the Mediterranean
is covered with the privateers of the Barbary Powers,
and t!iat they have been fueecc.ful in their depreda-
tic.ns upon the coatling trade of France and her Italian
Allic,.

The folloning letter from St. Pete:lburgh, from a
perfon of the highell refpeetability, though not of a
late date, will be found intereaing

"ST. PETERSBURG H, JAN. 1.0.

44 We are in high fpifits. The Army is daily re-
ceiving reinforcements, is in perfed order, and evinces
a good deal of confidence. Platow, Herman of the
Coffacks, is at hand with 50,000 men, betides the
Tartar: and Calmucks expefted from Orenburgh.
Moldavia, with Yalli, and all its fortreffes, is in our
poffeffron. We have obtained a fortrefs on the Da-
nube, and a bay in the channel of Conaantinople for
the fecurity of onr tranfpotts and (hips of the line, fo
that the army in Moldavia is in the belt condition
imaginable to aft againli the French. A militia of
600,0c0 men is forming, divided into fix divitions ;
that of Mot-cow is commanded by Count Alexis
Orloff; that of Livonia by Beclefhow ; that of the
Ukraine by Prince George Doigorucky ; that of Kiow
by Archarow ; that of the Crimea by Prozorowiky ;
and that of St. Peter (burgh by Wiafinitinow. Every
Commander thrives to outdo the rett in forming his
corps. The Nobles vie with each other in military
equipments ; while thole who have not the fame
means, make all the fact ifices in their power. In a
word, our firefides will thcrtly be defended by a molt
formidable army. B )th ()Ricers and foldi:rs burn
with an ardent defile to diltinguifh themfelves. The
fruits of patriotifm are now confpi:uoully vilible.
The merchants of Mokoisv offered 6,000,000 rubles
to the Emperor, which were, however, refufed.
Count Orloff gave 2,000,000 roubles, and 2000 Pea-
fants of his own to the fervice. Something fimilar
happens every day. A German artificer, an inha-
bitant of-St. Petercourgh, where he has made his
fortune, prefented to his Majelly 40,000 mufkets
which I,e had in his warehoule. A private Gentle-
man fold all he was worth, to the amount of to,ooo
roubles, gave the whole to the State, and enrolled'
himielf in the militia. Such is the fpirit which at
prefent pervades the whole country."
