The Dutch papers contain all account Of
the treaty of peace between this country and
Turkey. 1t is said to consist of twelve ar
ticles, of which the following is the sub
stance
g The property which either may have
in its possession belonging to the other, and
all ships of private individuals unde. embar.
go, shall ba Immediately restored.
From the moment of signing this trea.
ty, all hostilities shall cease, and the prison
ers of war on both sides shall be restored
within 81 days succeeding, without any ran
som.
Mutual accommodations, in regard to
commerce, to be afforded in Its fullest ex-
tent-the tariff at Constantinople to remain
as it is.
The 18th article says that Z" as it has been
at all times forbidden to ships of war to en-
ter the canal of Constantinople, viz.the strait
of the Dardanelles, or that of the Black Sea
and as that ancient rule of the Ottoman
Empire must be henceforward observed in
time of peace by all powers whatsoever, the
British Court promise to conform to this
principle"

The accounts which we have received
from Portugal are rather of a contradictory
nature, but still we are convinced that the
intelligence brought by the Loire respecting
the distressed situation of Soult's army is
well founded, and that unless he receives
very powerful assistance from the south,
he wall be under the necessity of surrender
ing. The accounts from Galicia fully con-
firm those which we some days ago laid be-
fore our readers. The French are entirely
conOned to the fortresses of Ferrol, Corunna
and St. Jago, and it is said, but we do not
vouch for the fact, that letters from the
French general Ney to Joseph Bonaparte
have been intercepted In which he repre-
sents his situation as extremely desperate,
and earnestly presses for reinforcements.
TWAS reported yesterday afternoon that
government had received an account from
Heligoland, of an action having taken place
in Bavaria, between the Austrians and
French, in which the former were success
full. 1t is more than probable that some
skirmishes have taken place i'll Bavaria, but
no intelligence of that kind has yet reached
government.
The only important fact in the accounts
yesterday received from Heligoland is that
very considerable Austrian force had en-
tered Saxony.

The intelligence from the north Of Spain
continues to be of very favorable nature.
The marquis de Romano, with the regular
troops under his command, and large bo-
dy of armed peasants, has completely cut
at Corunna, and Soult who still remains at
Oporto, although reports have been circulat-
ed OF his having advanced towards Coin-
bra.
We entertain strong hopes that the mar
quis de Romano will soon be strong enough
: to attack Ferrol and Corunna.
Marquis Wellesley is appointed ambassa-
dor extraordinary and plenipotentiary to
Spain. x

The Paris papers recently received con-
tain pretended letter from the editor of
the Vienna Gazette to the editor of the
Ulm Gazette, but which was not inserted
by the latter, containing variety of state
