44 The piles, which wore driven in, both per.
pendicular and horizontal, hare some of them been
sawed. A brig and a pinnace have been thrown
also info the middle of this channel. Also a buat
on tho north side; but all this may be easily re-
moved.

" THE ARSENAL. •
" The magazine and tho different buildings at-
tached to it have been burnt. The materials of
building have been entirely destroyed.
46 The mercantile port has nut been injured ;
there is only a boat at the entrance between the
piers, which may with facility be drawn into the
port. The same may be dune with an English
brig, which is. very little damaged, and which
remains near the Western I'ier, under the ram-
parts of the town. This is one of those boats to
which the enemy set fire on the approach of the
French flotilla. In different situations on the
bank there are about 15 wrecks of boats.
44 The English division which IA before the
French flotilla, cut away its cables on setting sail.
I h.vo. ordered the pilots to sound the channels,
and to raise the anchors and cables which the ene-
my had abandoned.
" No vessels have been sunken in the dykes.
The enemy intended to do this, but he was not
allowed lime to accomplish his purpose. Two
vessels laden with several kinds of artillery, have I
been taken in the ports. A q'iantity of bullets that
the enemy probably had uut time to remove, are
now deposited here.
64 It is not possible at present to estimate the
number of vessels the enemy lost, but by the
wreci:s that arc visible every where, the loss
must have been considerable. The boats we have
employed have preserved every thing, and among
the materials are some mots of ships of the lint•.
Many bullies of men and horses arc floating on the
coast. An inventory is preparing of the tlireCtS
ahandonrd by the enemy.

DELFT, JAN. 9.—They are now very busily
employed at Vienna in taking an accurate account
of the inhabitants of each house, with respect to
the time they have lived in that city, and the place'
of their birth. It is reported that all foreigners
who cannot give a good account of themselges,
and the objects they are pUrsuing, will bps obliged
to leave the city.
We learn from Vienna, of she 10th of Docent.
ber, that the English Squadron still continues to
infest the shores of the Adriatic ; that au attempt
to convey some oil from Apull'a to that capital
in boats had failed, several of them having been
takatt by the enem, anti that thus they were ulti.
utately obliged to bring the whole over land.

Two M•tils from Gotten burgh arrived in tow n
this looming. The deposed Monarch has bade
adieu to Sweden, and-is now on his route to Swit-
zerland, having landed at Stralsund on the 4th.
The intelligence from Constantinople is corro-
borated by other accounts, from all of which it
appears that the Russians have been decidedly
worsted during the campaign, and are even re-
ported to have requested an Armistice, which was
refusal—this, however, is but report. The
power and resources of the Ottonsap Empire have
been more successfully called into action than
might have been expectetl, after the long inacti.
city and apparent decrepitude of the Ottoman
Empire. - •

The projects of IV tror.torr, with respect to
Turkey, arc not yet developed. Whatever may
he his decision, there can be little hope that the
efforts which have hitherto enabled the Ottomans
to resist Russia, will be adequate to the resistance
of the combined strength of (Lamas suit Fraace.

Fats/cut Papers were recited kit night. rn
the Monitcur of thalith instant, there Is a report
of a French engineer, Adjutant Desousa, on
the present state of the dock) port, end .arsenal
of Flushing, all of which,, that we so- lately
completely destroyed, or rendered useless, it
should seem, from this Report, can not only
be very easily and quickly restored—but that even
without expcnce. " The value of the• useful ar.
44 (Ida so obtained [that is, cannon, &c. &c.
44 thrown by us intu the dock and basin] will
44 pay the expellee of the labour, ancl even re.
64 pair the sluice, if his MAJESTY should think
64 fit that it should be restored."
That N.trot.zom will so " think fly there can
be no doubt, as the Island of Walcheren is re-
ported to have been already formally annexed to
France.

Somehow or other our destruction of arsenals
and ships is ever incomplete. Of this the actual
presence in action of French line-of-battle ships in
the Mediterranean, that had been burnt at Tou-
lon, affords a memorable proof.
The destruction too of the Canal near Ostend,
'by Sir Home PornAm, does not appear to have
required more than three months, to restore it to
its original state.

If the Report of the French Engineer, Du.
uounn,should be justified by the speedy restoration
of the works of Flushing, we Labatt intreut the
Geoticmeu who composed the Speech to enlighten
the Public, by an explanation of that passage,
whirl* states a hope, 46 that advantages materially
." affecting the security of his Majesty's dominions
46. In the further prosecution of the war, will be
44 found to result from the aesnolilion of the
44 docks and arsenals at Flushing." Now it is

A vast days ago France and America were
stated to have come to an amicable adjustment by
thasignsture of a Treaty. It is now reported,
ou the authority of a Mr. CaLowet.t., who
brought over dispatches from the American Minis.
ter at Paris, to Mr. PlNCKrity, that a De.,
cree has been passed for confiscating. all Mosel.
can property on the Continent of Europe.
In this account, it is added, that even the
departure of Americans from Paris had boo
, iuderdicted. Amidst such variety of reports and
contradictions, it is impossible to place coUfidenCo
in any rumour until it is authenticated.

Mr. CALDWELL it reported to have been very
roughly treated by the Deuanicrs, at Calais, who
are asserted to have plundered him of almost every
thing bat his dispatches. To this we can give as,
belief.

In America parties run higher than ever. The
Members of Congress have assaulted each other
publicly, and duels, of course, ensued. The re.
pert of the adoption of the measure of a Gem*
Etubsrgoo has hitherto received no confirmation.
