SCHWERIN, AUGUST 1.

Our Gazette of to-day contains the following Edict:
Whereas instances have shewn, that the North American
Ei; is wrongfully made use of by the English to import prohibited
goods, and elude the well-known me:wures pursued by the Impe-
nd french Government, to prevent the illicit trade in ,-)lonial
produce, which for a considerable time has nor been shipped off i
from any port in North America. Therefore, we hereby direct,
qat no American ships tiball henceforth be admitted in arty port
car dominions, and the Military Committees in Rostock and
Wismar are charged to watch over the punctual execution of this
Order. " FREDERICK FRANCIS...

AUGSBURGH, JULY 47.

Its late Swedish Majesty has left Switzerland.—
Before his departtire from the banks of the Rhine he
was anziou.; to have an interview with her late Ma-
jesty. It took place at Shaff hausen on the 23d in-
stant, whither King Gustavus proceeded, attended
only by two persons. The Queen was accompanied
by her mother, the Dowager Margravine of Baden,
vho assumed the name .of the Countess of Wagen-
helm. Gustavus Adolphus continues to bear the
name of Count Gottorp. He proceeded from Schaff-
hausen to Constance, and from thence to Augsburgh,
by the way of Memmingen. He left this yestercray
for Franconia. It is said, that he will proceed to the
baths of Toplitz in Bohemia.

VIENNA, JULY 21.
Several mercantile houses in Bucharest and Orsowa
have received letters which confirm the news of the
bi.-,o(ly battle, which lasted sixteen hours, between the
army of the Grand. Vizier and that of the Russians,
at four leagues distance from Schumla. The Turkish
cavalry, commanded by English officers, decided the
victory. There is every appearance that the Russian
army will again retire towards the Danube.

TEMESWAR, JULY 13.
According to late letters from Belgrade the pre-
tended defeat of the Russians was not so great as at
fir,t said. It appears, in reality, that the Turks having
received a reinforcement of cavalry, routed a party
of Russian infantry ; but the latter, supported by a
corps of fresh troops, preset ved its artillery and bag•
gage. It is added, that the head-quarters of the Rus•
sians were at Beyauk-Kaslichasha, beyond Mount
litmus, and that a single complete victory will open
to the Russians the road to Constantinople.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 8.
At length Mr. Adair, the English Ambassador,
Lad his audience of leave of the Caimacan Pacha on
Monday last. He presented, as British Charge d'Af-
faires, and to fill his situation during his absence, Mr.
Canning, Secretary of Legation. The Pachn, accor-
ding to the usual practice, presented some beautiful
pelisses to the gentlemen of the embassy, and a very
valuable snuff-box to Mr. Adair.
Some Russian vessels having been seen on the coast
.cetween Warna and the mouths of the Danube, the
Captain Pacha. it is supposed, will immediately eater
the Black Sea with his squadron in search of them.
More than 80 vessels laden with corn a*d flour en-
tered the port of Constantinople the day before yester-
day, for the supply of the Imperial magazines.
There is every appearance of a fine harvest, as well
'n Asia as Romelia.

" The French troops are slid to have been attack-
ednear Seville, by Ballasteros. The man who brings
this information states, that he was in that neighbour-
hood. for five days, during which the Spanish corps
incessantly attacked the French. When he came
away the action still continued : upwards of 100 men
of the French troops had come in wounded. Other
accounts corroborate this statement ; and add, that
the French have made such dispositions, as indicate
anintention to retreat from Cadiz and Seville."

The NIMROD cutter, from Corunna, has arrived at
Plymouth after a short passage, having left Corunna
on the evening of the 12th instant, at which time
there were lying there and cruizing off the coast the
Arethusa, Amazon, Dryad, Medusa, and Narcissus,
frigates.

The accounts brought by the NIMROD are interest-
ing. On the sth instant, the marines from the AMA-
ZON and the NARCIS: us, were again landed, and being
joined by a small party of Spaniards, *tacked a post
et the enemy's near St. Antonio, defpided by 150
men, whom they defeated, with the loss of two killed,
two wounded, and four prisoners.

On the 7th, our small party again attacked and
defeated the enemy with the loss of 44 killed and
wounded, and 90 prisoners. Thirty pieces of can-
non, of different calibres, were also destroyed on this
occasion. But, unfortunately, the enemy receiving
a considerable accession of strength, our little party
could not maintain their footing. They returned,
however, without sustaining any serious loss.
These kind of skirmishes, trifling as they may ap-
pear, prove a serious annoyance to the enemy, and
to us. it appears highly desirable that the advantage
which we enjoy by our maritime superiority, of being
able to transport our men from one part of the coast
to another, and thus to harass the enemy, should be
frequently resorted to. The accounts which have
reached us convince us, that but for the diversions
created by our shipping, on different points of the
coast, the enemy would long since have been in pos-
-1 session of the whole province.

The NIMROD brought over Captain LISHMAN, of
the Marianne ketch, of London, his wife, and five
seamen. The Marianne was laden with iron, and
unfortunately foundered in the Western Ocean, on
the 27th ultimo. The Captain, his wife, and crew,
saved themselves in the boat, and after being two
days and a night at the mercy of the waves, with a
very scanty allowance of bread and water, they had
the good fortune to reach Cape Ortega', and from
thende proceeded to Corunna. While there, on the
10th instant, Captain LISHMAN made a protest before
the British Consul relative to the loss of his vessel.

But the most important intelligence brought by the
NIMROD relates to a battle. reported to have been
fought between the French and the combined British
and Portuguese armies. This report, stated in let-
ters from Portugal, reached Corunna on the 10th in-
stant, but the particulars are not mentioned with any
kind of precision.
All that we can collect from the accounts before us

is, that a battle was fought on the 7th instant, which
was obstinately contested for some time, and termi-
nated in favour of the Britishtwho remained masters
of the field. Our loss is said to have been very severe,
but that of the enemy considerably greater.
Such are the accounts that have reached us from
the port at which the NIP4ROD has arrived. A few
hours will probably ascertain what credit may be due
to them. It is our duty to state the rumour as it has
reached us, and only as a rumour do we state it !
No accounts of this kind have been received by
Government.

" Matagorda is in the same ruinous state as before
described, and cannot be occupied by the enemy ;
hut the French batteries on the Trocadero are very
stong ; they make regular attacks upon the Puntales
(the opposite shore, leading to Cadiz), but without
making any impression upon it. The immense works
that are throwing up at Isla, will make Cadiz, I think,
Impregnable. t 'fere it not that we see batteries of
great strength raising on the side of the enemy, one
would be induced to suppose that they would very
4on take their departure, as they appear not to have
the smallest chance of ever obtaining possession of
this city. On the 14th inst. the bomb•ships Etna,
Thunder, Devastation, and Hound, with twelve gun
and mortar boats, and ten howitzer-boats, proceeded
to attack Catalina, at day-light. The enemy's guns
were soon silenced, but, I believe, that little damage
has been done to the fort ; they ceased firing at eight
o'clock,. General Lacey's troops, who left Cadia to

We may credit acconnti from Vienna of the 21st ult.
the Russians have Sustained a signal defeat in the neigh-
bourhood of Schulma. The accounts alluded to state
the conflict to have been Most sanguinary, and of 16
hours duration. The Turkish cavalry, commanded
by English Officers, decided the victory, which is al-
lowed on all hands to have been milt complete. One
account says, that the Russians have been beaten in
such a manner that it will be a long time before they
can again act upon the offbnsive ; and all the effects
of their late advantages in Bulgaria have been thus
completely counteracted.
Fresh disturbances have broken out in the Tyrol:

The French Papers present some articles rather in-
teresting. The investment of Almeida is adverted
to, but there is not the least allusion to the action by
which it was preceded. We regret to find that the
demolition of Fort Conception was imperfectly exe-
cuted. Two of the bastions only are said to have
been damaged by the explosion, which the enemy
mean to repair, and then occupy the work.
The accounts which they present from Calabria
are to the 22d ult. At that time no attempt had been
made on Sicily, but they state that on the preceding
day a vigorous attack was made by a considerable
number of light armed vessels on MURAT'S flotilla.—
The result is stated to have been unfavourable to us,
but we know, from recent experience, how little re-
liance is to be placed in these Neapolitan accounts.
This last affair, we should suppose, to be one of the
hottest that has lately taken place on the coast of Ca-
labria. Some of our vessels drew so near the land,
that their shot and shells fell close to the enemy's
camp. The same accounts state, but without giving
the date, that the garrison in the Island of Corfu
lately received a reinforcement of fifteen hundred
men, besides an ample supply of provisions, (our
blockading squadron is also said to have retired before
it) ; and that it has been ascertained by experiment,
that shells thrown from batteries near Scilla will reach
the opposite coast of Sicily.
Perhaps the article most deserving attention in these
Papers is a paragraph from Frankfort of the Ist inst.
shewing, that notwithstanding the demand for troops
to complete the conquest of Spain and Portugal, Bo-
NAPARTE still attends to the progress of affairs in the
North for the future submission of the Baltic Power.

British and Portuguese force, from their discipline
and steady courage, apparently invincible, slowly and
regularly retiring to a bridge which communicated
with their main army, and at the same time repelling
the repeated attack of an almost overwhelming force
of the enemy. The bridge once gained they there
made their stand, and the utmost and long continued
efforts of the enemy were insufficient to remove them.
