FLORENCE, OCTOBER i 6

The recent menfures adopted in this kingdom with
regard to Englifh commodities, and the manner in
which they have been commented upon in feveral
foreign newfpapers, have occafioned the infertion of
the following article in the Royal Gazette : •
6, It was with great alinnifhment an article was
lately found under the title of Augfburg in feveral
foreign newfpapers, ccntaining arietures on the con-
dud of the merchants of Leghorn. and on the ordet s
iffued by our Qtleen with regard to Englifh mann-
faftures and commodities. In order to refute the
erroneous comments of the writer of that article, we
deem it therefore neceirary to Hate, that notwith-
(landing the unexpected occupation of Leghorn,
daily domiciliary vifit., a general embargo, and other
fevere meafures, the value of all the Englifh goods
found in Leghorn does not exceed 18o,oco pieces of
eight, and from this font is further to be deduCted
the amount of the goods which were fold in 1776,
1799, 1800, and Ifiot, by the Commanders of the
trt ops which then took poffefiior. of Leghorn. and
confequently did no longer belong to Englifh fubjeas.
It is therefore obvious that the mea.fures purfued by
the Government of Etruria are as vigorous as they
are efficient ; that the Englifh have neither maga-
zine., agents, nor fellers io Leghorn ; and that fo far
from Leghorn being over flocked with Englifh goods,
there i., perhaps, no trading town which can bone
of drifter adherence to the orders of its Sovereign
than Leghorn."

ST. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER 7.
General Meyendotf, who fucceeded General Mi.
chelfon in the command of the army againft the
Turks, has been difplaced. and the command of that
army given to Prince Profovilcy.
It is laid that his Majefty the Emperor will make
a joniney to Witepfit, and vim the Governments in
the South weft.
C ONSTAN TINOPLE,_ SEPTEMBER ts.

The Grand Seignior continues to exhibit a fingu.
tar firmnefs of character. He bas adopted the refo-
lotion to reorganize a part of the troops according
to the Nizam Gcdid, or new maks. He Teems not
to tear the Janizaries in the lean, and has given
public orders to Suleiman Aga, who has been in the
Aunrian military fervice, to organize a corps of
troops upon the fame footing as under the late Sul.
tan, only with the difference of thefe troops preferr-
ing their national cnftume.
A remarkable circumftance occurred left week,
which affords a frefh proof of the Sultan's courage :
in the streets of Tophana, he was preffed upon in
fach a manner by a number of Janizaries coming
from the cattle. of Fanaraki, that he was compelled
to give orders to drive them off. The Janizaries
confequently attacked his retinue, but the letter ob-
taining the affittance of the guards, a number of the
Bollangis were wounded, fo that the affailants were
compelled to draw off.' The refractory were, how-
ever, punithed witk fuch Severity, that upwards of
fifty of them were firangled on the Spot, and good
order rettored without any of their comrades once
attempting to come to their affiflance.
Another part of the Grand Seignior's character
appears in the order given, a day or two fence, for
beheading Prince Suzzo, tl.e Dragoman of the Porte,
who, however, continued to exercife his flinaions
with the utmost tranquillity, till within a few mi•
nines of the execution of this fentence. It is fup-
pofed that this unexpefted event originated in a ed.;
urinal correfpondence, which is Paid to have taken I
place between the Dragoman and the Englifh Ad.
aural commanding near the Dardanelles.
Baron Bielefeld, the Prullian Charge d'Affaires,
has announced his recal, demanded his paiports, and
Signified that if they are tint granted, he fhall depart
without them. The caufe of Ali condo& in the
Pruffian Court, is impdted to an infult which his I
Majefly has received, in the Teufel of the Porte to ,
loner Baron Senft Von Pilfach to return to his poll
at Coußantinople. The above has formed the Tab.
jea of a note prefented by the Pruffian Minifier.
Admiral Siniaven has left Penedos, and carried
with him all the Tork;lh Ships and prifoners which ,
had fallen into his hands. Difcontented with this
proceeding, the Porte has furpended the fending
a number cf Ruffian prifoners, upon the point of;
going to Sebanapol ; and k now remains to be fees
how this new difference is to be accommodated.
We are ignorant of the Rrength of the Britifh
fquadrnn that has returned to the Dardanelles. The '
Government, however, are under no apprehenfions,
as Several Frenchmen, at fire engaged is the defence
of the Cattle., &c. have -moved from Dalmatia and

French journals to the 4th, and Dutch papers and
letters to the gth infant, were received this morn
ing f from which we have given fome extracts in the
preceding columns.

The Letters from Rotterdam Rate, that the prices
of every defcription of colonial produce were on the
rife, in expatation of the fupplies through the me•
ilium of neutrals being at an end, and in anticipa-
tion of the meafure which is the fubjelt of the Sup-
plementary Gazette, which we had reafon to contem-
plate fome weeks ago.

Various were the rumours and conje&nres to which
the arrival of the French flag of truce gave currency
yefierday. The pi evailing fentiment, however, was,
that no flag of truce could come from the other fide,
without bringing difratches, direly or indireftly,
relating to Tome pacific negotiation; and, as might be
expelled from the prevalence of fuch an opinion, the
Stocks continued to maintain their rife through the
whole of yeflerday.
It is now, however, pretty well underflood, that
the Mellinger who came with the Flag of Truce did
not proceed to any of the Government Offices, but to
the 'mute of Prince STA HILEMIERC, the Aufirian
Ambaffador, and that the difpatclies he brought were
from the Court of Vienna.

Various are the conjectures as to the nature of the
clifpatcheb; force maintain they relaieto certain.mea.
titres adopted by Aullria for proteCting the ports in
the Adriatic, and for excluding from them all com-
mercial intercourfe with this country. Others
maintain that they relate to the negative reception
given to the COUNT DE Lit.l.l—Had the difpatches
been from the French Cabinet fome probability might
have attached to this idea ; but this matter could no
way concern the Außrian Cabinet. A third opinion
is, that Auftria propofes to join Ruffia in a, media.
lion between France and Great Britain for the re.
notation of peace.—But in fa& the real nature of
the difpatches has not tranfpired—and till it does it
is idle to fpeculate on the fubjedt.
The Fund., as our Readers will fee by the Price of
Stocks, have again declined this day. We have, how-
ever, fome reafon to believe, that the difpatches,
though addreffed to the Auftrian Minifter, have fome
relation to overtures for a negotiation.

The Ruffian Meffenger who came yeßerday with
the Gottenburgh Mails, has brought a respell from
the Court of Sr. Peter(burgh, that the Ruffian fleet,
now at Gibraltar, may be permitted to come to a
Britills port to be repaired, and to remain for the
winter.

On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the
Foreign Office, which fat from two till nearly half
after five o'clock.

Lord Vifcount jocr Lyra, Count UooLas, from
Stockholm, and Mr. NICHOLAS, with difpatches from
Copenhagen, have arrived at Harwich from Gotten-
burgh : the latter Gentleman fet off for London,
immediately on his landing, in a poll-chaife and four.
The communication between Hamburgh and Got.
tenburgh it again open : and an article from the latter
place hates, that eight Hamburgh mails had arrived
there, and the remaining ones due were daily expec-
ted; as the [mirage of the Belt was reported to be free.

Au order has been received at Portfmouth to make
the utmuli exertions in getting the men of war,
which are fitting in this harbour, ready to go to
Spithead.—The Vulontaire, Captain BULLSW ; and

is to be manned from the Northumberland and
Maida, and go out immediately. The Africaine,
Captain RAGETT Suceefs, Captain AYSCOUGH
and the Comus, Honourable Captain PERCY, NEC or.
dered to tea with the greatefl haße. The moR active
exertions are making throughout the naval depart-
ments, and with as much fpirit as at the commence-
ment of a war.
Sunday lafl, the Duke d'Awcou cams, eldeß fon
of MONSIEUI, and who efpoufed the amiable Paul-
-1 cis% ROYAL of Fiance, had a Levee at the Duke de
Beau's Houle, George-Rivet, Mancheller-fquare
all the Princes, and exiled Nobleffe, &e. of France,

Soo perfons, affembled there, to congratulate his
Royal Highnefs on his arrival in England and
yeßerday the Panic' let off on his return to Gosfield
Hall, where he will remain Tome time with his illuC
1 trines relative, Count de LILL'. The Royal Family
! of France have this feat in Effex, which the Marquis
of BUCKINGHAM lent to them as a temporary refs.
deuce; but the whole of their caablifhment is cup-
ported by themfelver.
