It has occasioned considerable surprise and at:xiay
in the public mind, to find that the di,patcheq r,.

stated, namely, that they were of an unftvorral,lp

It is reported that, in consequence of a new Wet
of licecties that bad been signed by Bosaraterr. v.ith
conditions adapted to the regulations of oar enttot of
Trade, the intercourse with France will speedily
come more brisk firth ever. The exhausted state of
the French finances compels him to relax upon this
point. The duties, which he will derive from car.
goes for which licences have already reached this
country; will, it is said, fall little short of half a
million sooting.
The ltuslan Cabinet has failed, in etigagite; the
GRAND SEIGNWOR in an offensive Treaty. Letters
`.em Constantinople, of the 21th of Sept,,m:ter,
state, that both Count IT.u.IN,KY and Admiral
Tcurrsott Acoyv had been authorized to offer the re.
nunciation of all the roarvries situated on the left
bank of the Froth by the It. ossiatii, on condilon that
the Ottoman Porte would conclude with that Potter
Rii offensive treaty of alliance ; but which, after Many
int ripes, had entirely failed. The object of this pro.
posal was, to arm the Ga \ND SEIGNIOR against the
French and A astrians.
The new Russian province, composed of part of
Moldavia, situated upon the left bank of the Pruth,
has received the name of the Government of Bessa-
rabia. SrouazA, a wealthy Bazardpf Moldavia, has
been appointed its Goventor.

A letter from one of the British prisoners at the

which period we have suffered great hardships and
distress. The pecuniary assistance from the Patriotic
Fund at LEGYD'i furnishes us with many necestla.
