The Russian General Sprengporfcen remains at Constantinople, and-has frequent conferences with the Ttirk-ish Ministry. Indeed every appearance seems to countenance the expectation that a declaration of war very speedily be made hy^Ttugsia'against. ■ France; and that Italy will be the first object of attack by the former. Bonaparte, alarmed by these appearances, seems anxious tn ingratiate, himself: with the Grand ST" Dior, and: to- renew his of friendship with that power.; these, however, are met only by trite and general assurances. mv a friendly and pa- cific disposition. A private letter from Berlin, dated July 3, says, It is reported here frut the representative of Bo- naparte delivered, -last.-Friday; a note to our Court, demanding apassage for arc-army through our ter- ritories,, to invade the Russian Empire, in case of .a rupture betweeii Franef, and Russia.—It is univer- here, that at, fi-Qtorrncr period was the exchange of courier^ between .Paris and St. Pe- tersburgh titure frequent,; nor our cabinet ilic) busy to settle aU differences, and to prevent the wax from extending to-the cohtanea't;- Private letters from Hamburgh state, that the French have made.a considerable aivance' nt'/MOp- towards Oldenburghya,nd h.-tve taken possession of posts whichcanuût tail to add to the alarm which their whole conduct has e&cited in the northern jMSwers. vii'J ■ ■ A spinted remonstrance has been transmitte to the pietjof Ilatisb^-by iMScBritafiivie Majesty, i in his pectoral capacity, respecting an attempt of'] the CouOt of Bentheim to appropriate to himself, in the njost unjiist n)aiinerv .the^'county of Ben- tiieim, which our King is said to hbi'Jas a security; j by means of a negociatiqn with the French. the latter abet the claims of the Count, who is rn t servilely devoted to their is pro.b2.bl4 therefore, that thefsmonsttance wiii act be attended with any effect at the present. :j His Catholic Majesty has -acknowledged the new titles and the hereditary .of the bead of ;h.e French gCVtrment.

It is n said that the Pope has demanded the mediation of Austria, and even offered to resign;but that his Holiness had been advised/ &r the peace of the church, to submit to the circumstances of the- finies. General Charpentier lias therefore been sent to Rome, to escort the Pope tio I ranee. The coronation is fixed for the 9th of November. ■ In the nightQf the 22d uit. Moreau- left the Temple, under an escort of fifty soldiers. His first destination was Perpignart, from which place he isto go to Spain, ani embark there 011 board a central vessel tor North America. Madame Mo- rcau followed her husband the next day. He is only to travel during the night»'sbd to rest during the day. His brother is gone before him to Spain.

It is supposed they will go to America. In Hanover, the troops are said to have refused to take the oath of alle- giance to Bonaparte, or to partake of the refresh- ments prepared onthe occasion. General Augerea.u hid on the 28th ult. two Ion g nterence with Bonaparte, previous 'to his depar- ture tor Brest. At the last, Talleyrand, Berthier, and a few Senators aiid Ministers of State, most in the confidence of the Corsican, were present. Au- gereau is said to have pledged himself for the suc- cess of the landing in this country, provided the plan which he-has himself projected for effectiag the enterprise be-adopted without any change or alteration, and Bonaparte is stated to have acqui- csced iii the condition, I. A Prussian ship left Cherbourg last Wednesday, the master of which states, that Bonaparte, imme- diately after the feast of the 14th of July, was> pactea at the coast, and ttiat his-ar rival, would be the signal for the attempt; this he heard from the commander, with whom he diaedthe day be for be sailed. On the 7th, Augereau "had returned to the army near Brest, and made dispositions to em-, bark, expecting every moment,r.dersb;r the tele- graph.

Delban gave notice in the House of Com- mons yesterday,: that early' in' the next session he would submit a proposition to the House relative to the propriety of making provision tor planting in inciosure bills. No such-provision was now contained in these Acts, and it some speedy mea- 1Jresrc not takenj the- country would sObh be in siich a state, that the fanner would not have sufSrient' wood on his farm ,for liis domestic use.; He adverted to tbe extellent report of the late CoiifirnussMMiers of Inquiry into the state: of thei woods and forests; and hoped the measures rc-, commended in that report w il I b t rried into- xecutio.

Yesterday his Majesty held.a Privy Council, for the purpose of reqeivinft the/Kecorder's report of die convicts sentenced to death at the last Old chiiiey sessions, when Joseph Jackson andThoma-s Bucknell, ftir forgeryj, were ordered, for. exception on Wednesday next.

The ,conflagratioii cohimeiiced in the temporary mess- room, erected for the officers of the iBth regiment, and as the tabrick was composed chiefly of wood and straw, it was soon reduced, to ashes.. The con- tiguity ot an aniinlij-ittloiri tent,and:the very inflam- matory materials of which the huts are composed, which, in the vicinity, had beep-huilt by Inarried soldiers, caused a great degree of;anxiety. Fortu- nately, fyowever, the fire ceased where it cqm- menoedàndas the mess utensils,»;ere saved, little, damage was sustained. This aecident excited, a lively sensation in the surroujidiag country, and along the coast. The fire and alarm beacons, on ,all-tlie different hills, were .immediately' seen on fi-re; and a considerable, degree of ilarm inust-have beeirthe consequence. SATURDAY, July 21. This evening's .Gazfttte-contains a.letter from Lord Nelson, dated Victory, at. sea, May 19, in- closing OR« i rom. Captain Pettet, of the Termagant, stating his having captured the French pxiv-ateer Felicite, of two long guns and six brass swivels, and 60 men, off Port Flavona,, in Corsica; the enetnV- escaped on shore, having previously scuttled the Feiicite, and she sunk as our people.were carrying her to sea. A man in one Q.t the Termagant's boats was wounded iq boarding^Lord Nelson, in his letter, says, I am very much pleased with: Captain Pettet's exertions in having destroyed this yessel, as this she was one of the finest privateers in this country, and had captured two of our -inerchantmefl" last year bff T ints. The Gazette also states the appointment of Lord G. L. Gower to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to of Peters- burgh, in the room of Sir J. B. Warren; and of the Marquis of Hertford to be Master of Horse to his Majesty. ■ Paris papers to the 12th inst inclusive were re ceived this morning, On Sunday the 8th, the fo- ister reign Ministers who had received their new creden- tials were introduced to Bonaparte promiscuously, without any regard to rank. The, Ministers Of Itu^si i, Austria, Sweden, Portugal, and America, yere not present. It. was no to be expected that ither the Russian or Svv.edr.sh.. Ministers -would iiave attended on such an occasion; and as for MV. t ivingstoa, w th all his disposition to flatter the Of Bonaparte, he cannot yet have received as Cf en tialS fro.n.,Ameri.c.a lit,:is, however, a ittle singular, that the Austrian Minister was hot present, because all the late accounts from the Con- tinent concur in stating, th Ü the Frnperor of Ger- 'nany had determined to acknowledge the new Em- peror. His therefore scarcely, probable that the- roriner would yenture to provoke the indignation"' 9 -Y" forl)i'ddiii- of Bonaparte, by forbidding his Ambassador to swell the tr,tin or the vassal Ministers that graced the Corsican's presence chamber, however degrad- ing the1 ceremony, unless his reluctance has pre- vailed over his fears of the upstart's resentment. -• One of the MOtuteurs long irticit,. «pon the views ahd principles of ^be French Gtjt-■ vera 1 neat, which arebf course stated to be founded injustica and moderation. The Emperor is represented as averse to aggrandisement or con- quest; and above all, as particularly cautious, not to interfere in the concerns of neighbouring states, Such is the language, put into the mouth of one of the I rencK Ambassadors on leaving.a-Courts The nartK'ot the Ambassador or the Court is not mien- 1 Uoned, but it probably alludes to General-Hedbu- vilie, on his departure from Russia, as the article alluded to is full of sarcastic and malignant iusi- jiuations respecting the projects of the Court of Petersburgh, at which the Fcench- jGovenmtent seems tp be particularly alarmed; and the obser- vatiiins with which the paper very clearly mauiiest the dissatisfaction of the Emperor Alexi ander at the late conduct of* Fraitc-c and the, d-ewr- mination of Bonaparte to set it at defiance. The IIamburgh mail due on VVedaesday, arrived; this morning, it has brought the, verbal; declara- tions of the Ministers'of Austria and Prussia, at thje; Diet ot Ratisbon, in consequence of the declarai- tion of the Electonte of lladen. Those Ministers, however, merely promise to coinmunicate to. their Tespective Courts the verbal declaration of Baden.- Tlte-. Minister adds, tliat from the known; sentiments of his Prussian Majesty, there cannot: be a doubt that he will concur in the earnest de-. sire of his Serene Highness of Baden, that the peace. of the German Empire, may not be disturbed. The New-York mail, arrived this.morning, has brought a copy of the proclamation lines,, after his horrid massacre o.t 2500 -fren(h;.enwo., •uen, and children; in which he avo\vs his political principles and views, declares that no colonist.or European shall ever set.his foot upon the territory of St. Domingo with the title of master or proprie- tor, but orders all his onicers to grant suecoyrs, encouragemmit, and protection to ail neutral ami, friendly stations, who may wish to eslabl.ishi com- mercial relations in the iland" The details of the massacre are shocking to jthe- ear.

We have received intelligence, from an autHority ;.on w hich we aie some reason, to jelv, that the EI-i- i4 France have been allliberated, and are on.;their wiy home. We are assured that one > gentleman is even arrived in London.—St. J. -Chron. The Roya Assent was yesterday given by Com- mission to the civil list, lottery, vote of credit, and several other bills, In the Commons,'Mr. Western moved tor. a Commi ttee of the whole'House, to con- fided the reports of the Corn Committees, stating it to belli:; intentiori to follow up his motion by another for the .revival of the com bill which had only failed by the inadvertency of so ne amendr ments made in the other House; convinced that it was a measure absolutely necessary to prevent the recurrence of tl^t:.excessive high price of corn which'had prevailed within the last twelve years, and which-was attended with Such distress to the cou ntry; to-prevent also thousands'of acres from being converted from tne.^rowth of corri-^to other purposes; to preyeht the necessity' of resorting to other (iouritriies tbr asupp-Jy-of .grain,.and diverting the encouragement of home-consum]>tioh-from the British farmer to'the .cultivators of pthet; nations. •A'lderme» Coombe' and Curtis opposed the moti'Qn^ non t he roL, d of the siafming operation .of Chelate hill, which liiarl produce! a most unusual and enor- mous rise in the price of bread corn, which still I continued to advance, and it was impossible to say ..where the evil would stop if the proposed -bill -should pap'.—-The question, however, w;as carried v and tn the Camimtt^e Mr. VVeBtern moved rwsolu- tions similar to those on whicli the former bill was ifouzicled, and which were agreedto. m;iil due yesterday, which, with Paris papers to the, 15th, arrived in the evening, -have furnished little to gratify curiosity or to de- serve comment. The Paris papers are extremely, barren, and the communication of a few captures 'of no great value, by the:French, is the only one of the least importance in them. It is said, indeed, that an English frigate has been taken by Linois; but one of our Indiam^n^ which carry as many guns,_may ha.ve been mistaken for a frigate. rhis -intelligence is brought by one of the French com- mercial agents from the Mauritius, who' left the island about the beginning of April, and this' was the only captiire then known to have been ma.de by Linois.. Bonaparte, by a formal convention, has actually sold the county of Bentheim to the Count of Ben- theim Steinfurth for 80b,000 livres, the, original sum, he says, for which the country was pledged. But as the country was not pledged to France, s|ie can have aslitde Tight to receive tlie 800^00,0 livres, or to surrender the territory, as Charnöf Tartary. Butwha,t does BOnapafte care for right ? The new-appointed comuloikdcr of the French troops in Hanover of the States that should be regularly Supplied ^vith siifficient pay ^necessaries, and'subsistenoe, for 26,000 men, the amount of the French aohy iu that country and in case of refusal or 'noii^^inpnance, he has threatened to take the adtninistTation of the re- venues Tuto his own hands. The, States have transmitted a remonstrance to Paris against the intentions of the commander, and bave implored some indulgence, They have also dispatched jyjr. Hiniber to Brernen, to endeavour to neguciate a load there to the t\mQnt of three xnilhons of The Viehtia letters of the tthlnst. menriofi^ that the}hl'pefiiiJ Court has been charged by Bduaparte to propose overtures for va pacification between Great Britain and France, which ^re said to have been communicated to Mr. Arthur Paget, the -,Briii li Minister there, and by him transmitted to his' Cotirt. It is that Count Stahremberg, < the Imperial Ambassador in .London, has been charged to declare to tlie British Cabinet, in the name of his Court, that the House of Austria is firmly resolved, upon no consideration, to deviate from the system.of neutrality it has adopted, but- to maintain it il) all its energy against every party! -'that^'ig^tinafte. a^at;tehipt to-ioiHnge.it. The Emperor of Germany has .not7.-yet acknow- ledged Bonaparte. The Emperor, however, de- sirour of ^serving Ji.ia, nfiUtrality, is prepared to1 act according, to what- issue the grand crisis may take.-=The' Itnp,crlaltre1LSury, abounding with; ••ofrsh,and there is hot an' instance remembered in, the annals of the Austrian Monarchy, wher.e thei, pu biic c'cfters were so abundantly filled, as at pre- sent' i, By private advices from Petersburgh of the, 27th uh. it is known that a camp of near Go,000 men is to assemble in the vicinity of the Port of Cron-^ s tadt, where the EmperOr himself will review the "troops, and the (Jrand Dtike Constahtine will have the immediate comfnand under hibi.—»Ah. inter- view between liis Majesty ahd. the Emperor of Germany and the King of Prussia, is likewise talkcl of. It is stated in private letters from Paris, that Bo- naparte has already negun to treat such of the .subjects of Russia and Sweden as happen tobe withiri hisreach with great rigour; every possible iinpedirnetit i-, thrown in their way, in travelling through any part of the French" dominions. The slightesfintormality in their passes issuttkicnt to, s ,g4to cause their: arrest. For some weeks past 110 Rus- sian or. Swedish Vessel has been allowed to leave a French port; and all the remonstrances of the Consuls, of these nations upon the subject, have been -treated with the utmost contempt. It is ge- nerally supposed that a regular embargo will soon take place, and in the event °I aetyai Hostilities, there is every reason to think that the Russians and "Swedes who are in France, will'be treated as the British subjects were last year, and be de- clared prisoners bf war. Private accounts from Hamburgh, on the ve- racity of which we can rely, mention, that., one-of j the members, of 'the 'Military Conmiis.siph ..which -ci the Duke d'I, to dçatb; wa lately round murdered in the wood of Bualogue."
