PETERSBURGH, AUGUST 29.

Prince Alexander de Kourakja, the Ruffian Am-
baffador at Vienna, who ategociated and figned the
Treaty of Tilfit, has received from his Sovereign a
molt fplendid mark of his approbation and fatisfac-
tion. The Emperor Alexander has raifed him to the
fira daft, that is to fay, to the rank of Field Madhal.
There are few fimilar examples. - Prince Kourakin
has been for feven years Vice Chanallor of the Em.
pin!, and Knitter for Foreign Affairs in Ruffia.
Atrousr 3o.—A great quantity of artillery has
been fent from this city to Cronitadt. His Majefty
has feveral times vifitediht fortifications of that port.
Auousr 31.—Laa Sunday there was a grand pa-
rade, at which his ExcellenCy I. General Savary
affifted. It was remarked, that this Envoy always
receives from his Majefly the moil gracious reception.
The unexpeeled' attack of the Englik upon Copen•
hagen has pruduced here an extraordinary fenfation.
There is but one cry of indignation agdinft that via
lence, worthy of the ferocity of the molt barbarous
ages.. The caufe of the Danes is become that of all
nations, which are equally interefted in puniliting an
aggreffion made without motive, and without a pre•
vious declaration.• The Government have given the
molt aria (riders to accelerate the preparations of
defence in our ports, and the equipment of our fleets.
—A great number of troops are repairing by forced
marches to Cronfladt, and to Riga. His Majefly is
going again to infpea the works in perfon. A great
number of the opulent families of this capital are pro.
paring to go to Paris, to pall the rinter there.

Difpatches were this morning received from one
fleet in the Dardanelles, dated the 3t ft of Auguil,
brought to Plymouth by the EIACTRA of ift guns.
Nothing new had occurred in that neighbourhood
fence the battle between the Ruffian and Tuthill
fleets, of which we have already had accounts,We
are forty to Rate that all hopes of the fafety of the
Moue H semi are now given up. It is now many months
face the was fent to the Mediterranean with difpatches,
fine which no accounts of her have been received.

Several private letters have been received from.
Lilbon, brought by the Azarow cutter, the arrival
of which at Falmouth we announced yefterday.
They are of the 27th and 28th ult. and Rate, that
on the nth, Mr. Gamma had privately intimated
to the Bridal Faftory, and the intimation was com.
municated with all convenient difpatch to all Englint.
men refident in Portugal, particularly thofe con.
neded with trade, that it would be advifeable for
them immediately to put themfelves in a Elate of
readinefs to embark with their property; and thq
were direded to condua the preparation without any
Wile or public exhibition that (hould be likely to
betray their purpofe : all fecrecy, however, was loon
over, for it became known on the 28th that all hope of
any amicable accommodation between Portugal and
the enemy had 'completely vanifhed. The Prime
having manfully refilled every means employed by
the Agents of France to reconcile him to his own
difgrace and the fubjugation of his country ; having
totally rejeded the demands of the enemy, the
French and Spanifh Ambaffaclors had, on the 27114
demanded their pafrports, which were granted to
them on the morning of the 28th. Their departure
was hourly expeded, and the utmoft poffible exer.
tion was, of courfe, immediately fet on foot to sc.
celerate the preparation of our countrymen to leave
Portugal ; and alfo, as it is mentioned, of the Pot.
tuguefe Government to proceed to the Brazils.
confequence of an application from Lord
STRANGFORD, the Perinea RSGIST had iffued an
order to the feveral Officers of the Cullom' to allow
the relhipment of Britifh property without payment
of any duties ; and alio that fuch Officers mold, to-
gether with the military, if required, afford every
alfiffance in their power to forward fnch refhipment.
This order flgongly implies the amicable difpofition of
,the Palace Itaces-r, who has been recently heard
:to declare, that .‘ nothias could alienate him from
the Englifh interest, but the conduct of England
itfelf."

Notwithrtanding all that has yet happened, it is
the opinion of many, that the difficulties which pre-
Ent themfelves to the emigration of the Portuguefe
Court, are fo great as to render it next to impoffible
to be executed ; and that therefore Come fort of
arrangement may yet take place between France and
Portugal. A Ihort time will remove all uncertainty.
The French army was to enter Portugal on the tad
hat. but even in that event it could not reach Lilbe
from Bayonne in lefs than a month or five weeks:-
, Long before that time fhall have elapfed, the final
determination of the Portuguefe Cabinet may bt
expated to be known.
It appears by the accounts now received, that not
more than five (hips of the line were fully equipped,
and ftored for the reception of the Royal Family.—
Four regiments, newly clothed and armed, were alto
ready to accompany them. Whether the other 'hips,
about t 6 or 18 in number, could be got ready in
time, was a matter of uncertainty.
We underftand that orders have been fcnt to Tor.
bay, for fuch velrels as are ready for fea, immediately
to proceed to Lifben. If the Portuguefe Government
ferionfly refolve to go to the Braz;ls, the convoy of
our fleet mutt be definable to them; at the fame tiro
it is extremely advif4ble for us to take care thd
she Portuguefe fleet thall not fall into the hands d
the French.

Several remittances have been receivea by differnt
mercantile houfes from their connexions in Portupii
and to filch an amount as naturally to induce tke
expedation of their immediate departure from that
country. We do not underhand that a tingle order
for remittance to Portugal was received by the la(1
packet.
' The following is the fubftance of what private
letters brought by this conveyance contain upon that
topic. The lateft are of the 28th of September :
" The demands of the French Government were U (abets r.•
Four Millions of Crufades, to be immediately paid is fpecirla
the ports of Portugal to he mat agalalt Britith Commeren—b.
[a.k.a. to be imprifoned, and their goods confifcated--tbe Fktt
to be furrendered to France. and, the Garrifons of the &IOW
to be proteeted by troops from France and Spain.
'" The whole of there demands were immediately rejedad,
the determination made known to the various Amhafaders
tksfc
from France and Spain inftantly dem:tided tbeir paffpotts. WWI
were granted. They bad not, however, quitted Lillian, at the
time the Albion lett the Tagus, but it was underftood that tier
c
i were adjufting tbor Acs7ur,.4, and Wplji.i:depart in fit 9 days V

Vince Regent had fignified unthaken determination to adhere
Implicitly to his ullimee with Great Britain, and bad permitted
the thipment of all goods and property belonging to the fubjeets of
yrgland, without the p trnent of any Government dues, or ad
bering in any mann-r to Cultom-houfe ceremonials. Many of
the Merchants Ind begun to prepa•c for their return to England;
and the Court were purfuir.g fimilar mcafures. at.d retorting to
every means of difpatch to enable them to retreat to the 13rzzils.
The homeward-hound fleet for England had been appointed to
fail on the •th loft an arrangement with will aciord great facility
and protcaion to the Englifh Merchant 4. thou:d no favourable
change take place in the determination of the French."
The outward bound fleet for Portugal and the Me-
diterranean, failed from Falmouth on the loth, under
convoy of the MINSTREL floop of war. Should the
former find the country in a Hate not to admit of their
unl Acting, they will at leall afford means by which
many Englifh families may efcape the dials of Gal-
lic tyranny.

Laft night we received a reculav (cries of Paris
Journals r t the 30th Or. incluftve. They are very
'wren of pAirical intelligence The No:tile:sr gives
the c4pirnlation .ICvenha>zen, and call! it as before,
a ho rid 1. anfaElion"—bat lays nothing of the fimi
tar defi,ln formed by the Emperor argairill Portugal !
One paragr rph in thele papers is flotilla/ —The
domirlior.• of the Emperor of Aullria ate rn be nar
rowed to the call and widened to the well ! In other
words, nitric will he wrelled from him by fume
mean. or other, and he will be cut off from all
chance of ever becoming a maritime power, or of in-
terfering with the French in their projecits upon
Turkey.

One of the French Journals quotes from a Naples
Kewipaper a paragraph announci-g that King Fslt
iIINAND and his whole family emb:l; ked in an Englifh
abcl lett S:eily ar the end of Augult.
We kn )w not what degree of credit is doe to this
fiatement, hut if we may credit a rumour in circula-
tion this morning, it is pr bably correfl. It is re
;sorted at the Writ end of the Town, that the Brir;fh
Troops have before this time evacuated Sicily—the
'french force preparing for the attack of that ifland
being too p(;weiful to be refilled with any hopes of
foccets. We cannot, however, arcertain on what.au-
ibority the ruimur refs.

It is rowan-eel that Sir JOHN B. WAtettrtr will
proceed in a few weeks to take tynn him the cmm

The report of the Aao us cutter having beer. lately
