well armed Turks. He was fired upon

The assassins have been unprecedented.

The captain of the ship informs me, that
he remained in the Texel week, and
his vessel was placed during that time be-
tween a 81 gun ship and a frigate, and
row guard boats were kept about the ship
during the night. The Datch admiral
behaved with the greatest civillty, and very
frequently sent provisions from his own
table on board. He left the Iexel Oh
Friday. at which time there were lying
there ready for sea FIVE ships of the line,
and a great number of transports, which
the captain thinks had no troops on board.

IS This day, about half past 2 o'clock,
the beautiful Madame Jerome Bonaparte
received the visits of the most conspicuous
persons, both ladies and gentlemen, at this
place. Her style and behavior on this oe.
casion displayed an unaffected elegance aud
dignifed composufe, which entirely con.
hrmed the favorable impression, which,
on her first landing, was immediately
made. She was dressed with great sim.
plicity AM modessy; on her head she wore
no ornament but her hair, seeming to trust
completely to that nature, which had, to
her. been so bountiful. The company re.
manned considerable time, each appear

LONDON, May 90.

The Hamburgh Mail, due previous to
that which arrived on Saturday, was receiy.
ed Yesterday. It contains, of course, little,
intelligence entitled TO- attention. Private
letters brought by the former, repeat, with
increased confidence, the rumours OF nego-
citation between France and Russia, for the
restoration Of general tranquility bue.,
while we notice these reports, we think At
our dutv TO warn the public thai they
should be received with the greatest eauti-
on.
= One of them goes so far as to state the,
following as the grounds, or basis, on which
Bonaparte Is willing 10 enter into negoela-
zion -
al. The full recognition of his titles
of Emperor of the French and King OF
Italy.
p. The solemn guarantee of Great
Britain and Russia to maintain himself aud
his family in the hereditary possession OF
his digni,ies. and dominions.

the part of the Princes of the House OF

vereignry of France.

: Malta in the possession Of England and
to cede to the Emperor Alexander and
heirs the sovereignty of the Republic ofshe
Seven Islands. .e
THERE'S, certainly nothing improbable
in the. three first articles !; but in order 70
give credieto the. Lass, we must believe that
Bonaparte is willing. to retract the official
declaration which he has, published to Eu-
rope, 1hatthe Treaty of Amiens alone can
sasisfy MIN. $3.50.

he has any chance of success in she prose.

Egypt, it forms point in negotiation,
which he will not givesup but in the hour
of defeat and dismay.
