TOULON, DECEMBER to.
For several days we have known nothing of the
• English squadron on our coast. On the 6th of De-
cember it was distinctly perceived to the number of
eighteen sail of the line, and many frigates. On e:e
9th twelve of the enemy's ships were seen at a dis-
tance of three leagues to the South of Cape Sicie,
directing their course towards the land.
Admiral Emeriau immediately got under way wbh
sixteen ships of our squadron and two frigates, in or-
der to bear down upon the English squ idron. But'
the enemy's division, as s: on as it observed this
•movemeet, sheered off; in order to firm 3 junction
with another disision which lay to the South-west.—
.I'he French squadron ehaeed it cut of sight, and did
"not return to our road Wore eieht, amidst tempes-
'tuons weather and variable winds, which would have
rendered the returu.to its anchorage very difficult
"for so numereus a.equadron: or otleless experienced .:
and exercised in naval practice.
SEMLIN, NOV. ea.
Vle.hview noth'ng yet of the state of the negotia-
tions between 010 Russians and Turks ; but some cir-
curnstaoccs make us doubt, that they will terminate
favourably. It is to be observed, that the Russians
have retaken all their former cantonments on the •
right bank of the Danube, and that they are closely
'concentrated there. The cavalry which was on its
.return to Moldavia has received.counter orders. The
Russians have constructed numerous entrenchments
round the fortress of Ruclsihtick, and continue to add
to them. The Grand Vizier having c.omplairied of
not receiving sufficient subsistence fur his troopifrom
the Russians, General Kutosow replied, that he had
not engaged by the armistice to supply provisions to
any corps of the Turkish army, but veithat which
was blocked up in the island of Slobodse ; that is in-
tentioe was not,'and couldnot be,.to afford supplies
of necessaries to the garrison Of Rusikluick ; and that
consequer.tly the amount of the rations would nocbe ,
augmented, is. also that any fuittitir applications on
th at,l,ead mould be useless. .
