CONST.I.4Ti9OPLE, OCT. 25.--Creat numbers of
ti,iips aticiriblinß hi the vicin:ty of this capital,
the de:Jaati• n of which is laid to he the Miura,
whelt i• tiid believed to be threatened by a foreign
force. Six Ritrll.in and Atiliian chips whieh have
been taken up to carry powder and artillery, have
alreaihy rulesl for that peninfula, all the places of
which will be put in a thong Hate of defence, aad
batteries on the coatis. The Captain Pacha will re-

the Vilioie wint •. In the courfe of the IA fortnight
there have been several fires here, luppnfed to have
been ciitffed by the difeontented populace. Strong
patroLs now parade all the greets of Constantinople
during the night, and, except in the quarter of the
Franks, no perfon is permitted to be in the greets by
night. either in the city or the fuburbs. Both the
Etiglilh and French Ambalfadors have lately had
feieral cantereaces with the Reis Effendi ; the Porte,
however, is determined to abide by its fyllern of mu.
It is now atkrtcd that the Porte has con-
cluded a Convention wi:h the Beys of Egypt, accor-
ding to which the Government of that Country is to
be placed on the fame footing as before the arrival
of the French. The Bcvs will, in confeqttence, re-
gain that authority which the Porte has hitherto re-
fufed them : this Itatemcnt, however, is not official,
and no chip has arrised here fluat Alexandria for
confiderable T::Tie.

fact i laid to be ordered out. A heal ty good
uncle] (lauding and cn.operation between this country
and Great lit itain has ever appeared, to the bed in-
formed to be effential to the real interefl
of both empires, and to that of Europe at large; and
we thould hope, that the above circumllances afford
a pool, that the rulers of both are if the fame opinion.
ST. PkTERBS:PIGH. Nov. B.—The Imperial ukale,
ordering a new levy of recruits, commands two men
to be taken from every goo pealints. This is only
the anal recruiting for filling up the regiments, and
no fiza of approaching warlike meafures.
The Jefitits fehool is in the moll flourifhing (late,'
and is mods frequented. Some of the ft- ft families
in Ruflia have entriifted their children to its care.—
The Jefiiits have alto erefted, by Imperial permit:
Pion, a public Diipenfary, which is fitted up in the
completefl manner.
The navigation has never been fo lively as this

has been built on the point of Agnaes, which will he

FRAYCE.

PARIS, NOVEMBER

When :he Englifh attacked Boulogne, the FIRST
C.)Tastm repaired to tilt Road oil board his own pin•
and took part in the aaion. He fired off two
mortals of a new conartOtion with his own hand.

Nov. I 9.—for feveral days there had been no no-
tics of the proceedings of the FIRST CONSUL. NVe
were the,e6.re the more lot prized to hear this day of
the a:mai:a-fed arrival of the Chief Magillrate at St.
Cl qi. Bow Ara axe arrived lad night, at five o'clock
in the evening, from his tour to the coatis. The offi-
cial Journal confines irfelf to the Pimple notice. It
gives no details of the FIRST Cossue's journey, or of
the Rate of the preparations on the malls of the Chan-
nel. The news in the Moniteur had left BONAPARTk
at Boulogne, from which it would appear that he
returned direaly to Sr. Cloud. In fait, the news
(rem the cook to the tOth of No umber, do not make
the flictlatett mention of the departure of the FIRST
CONSUL from Boulogne or the adj tcent camps at that
period. If he has left Boulogne without proceeding
further, the objeas of his tour continue incomplete,
if it was really his object to infpel the Rate of the
preparations along the coati of Flandersto the Scheldt.
It cannot, however, be doubted, that motives of an
important nature have induced the FIRST CONSUL to
defer his more enlarged infpeelion of the preparations
for the expedition againa England. Can thefe mm
tives be of a nature which will ultimately render this
infpc&ion unneceffary ? But we will continue to Rate
all the particulars which we have been able to colic&
refreting the flay of the FIRST CONSUL on the coaß,
and the circumftanc.as by which it was marked.--
BON•PARTE, during the time that he remained at
Boulogne, exhibited the greater' poffible afilduity in
examining and encouraging all the preparations
which are going forward. He made himfelf ac-
quainted with even the remotell details. He aged
as if he had been the principal direftor of all the
works that are in a train of completion. A remark-
able inflance of this is given in a letter addretfed
from Boul,gne to the Prefea of the Sambre and
Meufe, rcfiding at Namur. The letter is dated No-
vember i 1, and is in the following words :
it is nectfrary, Citizen Prefeet, that your department (amid%
Eft), frnithi, to be employed in the works going forw.rd at Bou-
logne, make every eurtioa, to have them forwarded with the lesit
polTible delay At the fame tame affure them that they will be em-
ployed in no other place but the w arks at Boulogne, and that they
wi!, tc regularly paid. They will receive iu all refpcets the fine
treatment which is given to the workmen employed In completing
the works of the diifcrert vetch. You will orehr them to be for
ward, d to Admiral Bruix, whom you will apprize of the day of
it arrival. They mutt come provided with as ample a fupply as
potable of working tools. (Sign, d) " 110111ArAILTZ..
Other particulars are worthy of notice. The bat-
tle which took place on the 4th of November betwixt
the divifion of Boulogne gun boats and the Englilh
cruizers was not the only fcene of deftrutlion which
it was the fortune of the FIRST CONSUL to witnefs.
He has had an opportunity of teeing all the dangers
and difficulties of maritime war. The form having
driven off from the coati about the middle of the
month the greater part of the enemy's cruizers, at
tacked the flotilla more leveret), than the cruizers had
done a few days before. On the 6th of November
there were in the road of Boulogne, accolding to
private letters, a divifinn of filty fix French flat hot—
tomed boats, three pinnaces, and a gun Isnat.H
About three o'clock in the afternoon orders were fent
nut to them to return into the inner harbour, as the
fee was theta beginning to be very heavy and tempef-
tuous. Thirty of the boats fucceeded in getting into
the harbour, but one 'of them getting aground, and
a gun boat having (truck on a bank, In as to flop the
entrance of the harbour, the telt of the veffels were
obliged to keep out to Pea. The night was extremely
tempeltuous. Five of the flat bottom boats were
forced to run on (hare and were deltroyed. A great
number of thofe on board periffied. Twelve of the
boats reached Calais, and eleven entered Boulogne
on the Bth of November. A boat, which was in
company with the lett divilion, was taken by an
Englith frigate. The lois Curtained by the flotilla
at Boulogne has been repaired. From the to
the a zth, thirty flat bottomed boats from Havre
entered the port of Boulogne. They had on board
about 7O wen of the loth regiment of light infantry.
Another dirifion of flat bottomed boats left Havre
on the 13th of November. On the following day
they were feen betwixt Dieppe and Treport, continu-
ing their rout for Boulogne.
At the fame time new divifions armed in the ports
of Bretany were moving gradually from that place
towards the Channel. With this elefign there let out
from St. Mato for C',erbourg, on the night between
the toth and I Ws hull. eighteen flat bottomed boat.,
three gun-boats, twenty-two (loops, forty Newfound.
land hihing boats and a pinnace. The departure of
the Ida divifions from HATS: and St. Maio, was
forwarded by the journey of the Minifler of Marine
along that part of the mill. This Miniller having
hift Havre nn the evening of the loth, rejoined the
Fivar CONSUL on the following day at Boulogoe.-
11c yond this Once there is no pout where armaments
are carried on with greater ardour than at Dunkirk.
They have again begun 'to equip there a divifirin of
light boats, of which two flat-bottomed boats, three
pinnaces, and three corvettes lately launched, already
form the centre.

The runtime Prefea of the fir (1 Diflri& of which
Dunkirk is the principal place, withing to prevent the
exertions of Out dititia from relaxing, has contra-
dieted, by public authority. a report which would
have done much mikhief. A report was circulated
that the Marine did not pay the contractors,, a report
which had already created in their minds fume doubts,
particularly at 011 end. The above-mentioned Pre-
Rear• Admiral NIELLY, declared, that they re-
gularly paid at Dunkirk whatever (Imes were fur.
tailed, and begged the merchants of Ogend, or any
others, wild uld have claims to offer na this ac-
count, to addref. them to him, k..omiling immedi-
ately to fati4 their demands.

Nov. 22..—80 n IFARS SA return from a journey is
generally annnun, r.l by the firing of 5 guns ; but
on his return from Boulogne he was faluted with 120
guns, which occaiv.ned a report, that, in addition to
his fafe arrival in the Capital, fome important event
had happened abroad, which could be nothing short
of a fuccefsful bnding in England or Ireland : it was
not until Lift night that the pablic WAS undeceived
on this head.
Count MARCOFF,. the Ruffian Ambafrador, has
received the infignia of the Order of St. Andrew,
and a very gracious token from his Imperial !stater,
wherein he leaves it entirely to his own option whe•
ther he will remain in France or return to Peterf-
burgh, and &rats him to wear the infignia of that
Order, as loon as he than have received them.—
Count MARILOFT went accordingly tail VsTednefday,
when the Ruffian courier arrived who was the bearer
of the EMPEROR'S letter, decorated with the blue
ribband, in the evening, to the hotel of the Portu-
guefe Ambaffador, where all the Foreign Miniflers
were affembled, and where, as the arrival of the Rut.
fian Courier was not yet known, this unexpelted de-
coration produced very flrong fymptoms of amaze-
ment and furprize. Could any proof be wanting of
the prefent difpofitionot AL EX A NOV R I. towards our
Government, the manner in which he has thus lane-
tinned MARRO/et cisndirti, in his famous interview
with Bort•rears, would be niolt convincing evidence
of his caring but very little for the prefervation of a
good understanding with the Cabinet of St. Cloud.—
Our apprehentions on this head are still increafed by
a report, which is current in our diplomatic circles,
that Count MARKOFF is to return to Ruffia by the
way of England, to fucceed Count Woaoszorr, the
prefent Premier, who has given in his resignation on
account of his precarious State of health.
The molt friendly underllanding teems alfo to be
eflahlifhed between Ruflia, Pr., Ilia, and Außria,which
renders our Government the more uneafy, as the
Ottoman Porte is approaching fall to its diffolution;
and fears are, therefore, entertained, that the three
great Northern Powers have concerted a plan of par-
tinning among them the European poffeffions of the
Grand Signior, as they did Poland. As the Englifh,
with content of the Beys, are at prefent matters of
Egypt, we should, by such a partition treaty, be en-
tirely (hut ont from the Levant.
The FIRST Cortsuc intends to refide the greed'
part of the winter in the Palace of the noillerier.
