generous ally, who has not only supplied them Übe-
with the sinews of war, but offered them the

conduct them to victory and glory ; and through

How unlike the conduct of those Powers which
threatened with annihilation from the restless am-
of Lewis XIV. at the beginning of the last I
aury, is the futile policy of the present race of the
,panish Grandees. When the Allies, engaged in
)mon cause against the encroachments of an un-
ipled tyrant, perceived the superior abilities of
alsonouots, he was constantly appointed Com-

rallicia to assume the command of the army of that

ent.date of the 19th instant,. are silent on the sub-

tresentation. We believe the army of Estremadura
be assigned to that Officer.

Two Anholt Mails arrived this morning; but we
regret to say that they bring no confirmation of the
reports of an insurrectionary spirit having extended
from Holland to the North of Europe. A letter from
gallant Commander of Anholt to the Danish Go-
vernment, on the subject of the prisoners, will be rend
ith much satisfaction ; because it shews that true
bravery and the feelings of humanity are inseparable.
7ormidable preparations for hostilities are making in
'urkey ; but it is really difficult to say what part will
taken by the Porte ; if we can believe an article in
the Hamburgh Correspondenlen, thea naval preparations
least are levelled against England. The following
are extracts from the Papers brought by the above

Mails :
PETERSBURGH, MARCH 27.
His Majesty the Emperor set off in the morning of''
the day before yesterday for T weer. He will be absent '
nine or ten days. Count K Amenski (2) Commander
Chief of the Moldavian army, has obtained per-
,nission to retire until his health is entirely established.
The General of Infantry, Geleniaktcheu Kutusow, is
ippointed his successor.
KONIGSBF.RG, MARCH 49.
In conformity to the Convention entered into with
'ranee, regarding confiscated colonial produce, and
..:nelish manufactured goods, on the 23d, 25th, and
26th inst. all goods of English manufacture found on
board the vessels sequestrated at Pillau, were publicly
burnt, the value of which amounted to upwards of
:wo millions of riz dollars.
SWINEMUNDE, MARCH 27.
We had this day a sight never before beheld at this
dace. All the manufactured goods seized on board
the sequestrated ships, were partly burnt, and partly
'woken to pieces. The whole gattison was under
rms. The French Consul and the Magistrates of
this place being also present. It may with truth be
said, that this was one of the most costly bonfires ever
made, as the value of the goods destroyed amounted
to more than two millions of francs. To-morrow the
French Consul sets off for the other Oarts of Pomera-
nia, in order there to put the same operations in force.
COPENHAGEN, APRIL 6.
The following is a literal translation of a letter
which the English Governor of the Island of Anholt
wrote on the 29th of March last, to Major-General
de Telliquest, Commander-in-Chief in Jutland :
" Sir —ln consideration of the bravery of which
the troops of his Danish Majesty gave proof in their
attack of this island, and which has excited my ad-
miration, I have opened a cartel and sent a Danish
Officer, who is charged to propose the exchange of
the 20 military prisoners whom I set at liberty upon
their parole of honour, and whose arrival I beg you
to acknowledge in writing, or if it is snore agreeable
to you, to send me back an equal number of English"
prisoners. Your Ercellegcy may be assured that the
greatest care shall be taken of the wounde.d and every
attention paid them. The Commander-in-Chief of
the expedition, who died in the field of honour, where
he manifested so much bravery, shall be to-morrow
interred with all the honours due to a man who
perished with so much glory. I have the honour to
be, &c. (Signed) " J. W. MAURICE."
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 5.

The Russian Generals have made fresh proposi.
tions to the Grand Vizier, in order to terminate the
war, but the Porte chews little anxiety to conclude
peace. The army of the Grand Vizier has just been
reinforced at the. Camp of Schumla, with 60,000
men, under the orders ofVehle-Pacha,
Gallonge-Oglu submitted to the Porte, on the ap-
proach of the Captain Pacha, and is obliged to
furnish a considerable corps for the ensuing. cana-
pai&n. The Turkish fleet will put to sea in the
beginning of April. ,They work upon its equipment
with the greatest activity. AU the Greeks capable
of bearing arms are enrolled.
FEBRUARY 25.—The Grand Seignior will, by the
end of April, have brought his army to 150,000 men.
Attention is particularly directed to a corps d'elite ;
50.000 chosen ttoops are expected from Asia.

harbours iti the Black Sea. It has been discovered
that corn has been carried to Rodosto, and thence
conveyed to and sold in the country in the neighbour-
hood of the Black Sea.
The Captain Pacha, who has returned from Nato-
lie, presses on with the greatest activity the labours
in the arsenal. He is making the greatest exertions
for the compitte equipment of a fleet of two three-
deckers, eight two-deckers, eight frigates, a great num-
ber of corvettes, brigs, &c. A division of the sailors
intended to mut this fleet have arrived in a number
of transports, and the remainder are soon expected.—
Those that hay, arrived are now exercising in the
Archipelago.
COLBERG, MARCH ZS.
The works for the defence of the shore of ti.:e
Baltic, along the coast of Pomerania, against Ali•
sudden attack of the English, were this day resumed;
among others, the harbour of Colberg visit be secured
by a seven-gun battery, on a level with the water.
