Marmora. fcpprtM entirely destitute of foun-
dation. The last letters from that capital
make no mention of it, they only mention
the vigorous preparations which the Porte is
making, in order to act upon the offensive
against the army of Michelson. Troops
from Asia arrive in crowds at Constantino-
ple, and are immediately sent to the army,
of which the Grand Visir must have already
taken the command. Every thing indicates
that it will not be long before the opening
of the campaign.
The shackles which the English impose
on our commerce and the navigation of our
vessels in the Adriatic, having excited the
attention of the government, it is asserted
that on this subject very serious representa-
tions have been made to the British cabinet,
and that several conferences which have
lately taken place between the count de Sta-
dion and Mr. Adair, the English ambassador,
were concerning this subject.
It is not believed that there has been an
action between the armies which occupy
Poland ; at least for three weeks we have
not received the news of any battle ; we
ltnow only that each army must have receiv-
«d considerable reinforcements ; and an im-
portant engagement is expected, if the ne-
gotiations are not sufficiently advanced to
prevent the return of hostilities.

Cosset, April 10.
We yesterday saw the arrival in this city .
of strong divisions of French infantry and
cavalry, and more than 40 waggons of am-
munition which have this day continued
their maroh for the grand army.
• *. Stutgard, April 17.
For the^e several months past, an Austri
an corps, composed of infantry, has been
stationed"in the environs of Schaerciing, on
the extreme western frontier of ihe Austri-
an states, and at some distance from the for-
tress of Brannau. It has just received or-
ders to return to the interior of Austria, and
it is believed that it will not be replaced.
The court of Vienna will only leave on the
confines of Bavaria, some detachments, of
cavalry necessary for the assistance of the
custom-house officers and police agents, in !
relation to strangers, and the seizure of pro-
hibited merchandize.
The last courier from Vienna, "hasbrought,
us recent news from Constantinople. Such
ineasures are taken in that capital, that they
no longer fear the new appearance of the
English fie<-t ; even supposing that united
with the Russian, they again come to force
the passa'ge of the Dardanelles. Besides

Considerable advantages arc repotted to

si.ris over the Russians. Gen. Michelsovl, it
is said, has been driven from WaUachia by
Mustapha Bayractar, who has taken from
him i'/pieces of cannon, and has made Hoc
pri loners. On another side, the Turks have
entered the Crimea, and the Persians are
seizing the most important passages of the
Caucasus.
Nanry, April 21.
They write from Finketwtein, that his
majesty has just teviewed the three princi-
pal divisions of the army ; the officers lately
promoted to superior grades were at their re-
spective posts. His majesty addressed the
most encouraging words to his soldiers.—
The Turkish and Persian ambassadors have
arrived at the imperial quarters. After the

A corps of French hussars, which have
been mounted and epuipped in the town of

German troops have also been organised in
that town, for the French service, and have
set out on their march for Prussia. A de-
tachment of troops of the prince primate are
the only remaining onus at Erfurth.
Aleppo, Jan. 1.
The Persians make a common cause with
the Turks, and attack at once the Russians
and the English. All the English factories
have been seized, and the correspondence
from England with the East-Indies by
the way of Persia, must at this moment b;
stopped.

Home of Commons, April 23.
Mr. Lushington wished to put a question
to the ministers respecting- a very alarming
report which had pervaded-the city during
thi day, of a dteadl'ul disturbance having
broke mit in Madras. The rumor had been
very prevalent, and he wished to learn whe
thejr ministers had heard of it.
I,old Castlpruagh replied, that certainly
his majesty's ministers had heard of some
disturbances in the remote territories of
Madras, but they were not aware of any
thing of that description in or near the seat
of government.

excessive inferiority. The army of general
^Michelson diminishing every day, and those
of the Pachas augmenting in proportion,
we may affirm that»before the end of April,
the Ottomans will be actually ten times
more numerous than their enemies. It is
easy to perceive in every action that the
1 Turkish artillery is directed by French offi-
cers.
Berlin, April 4.
A Prussian sergeant of the name of Kiss
Cher, commanded a small body of brigands,
on the 31st Maich last, entered the town of
JCyritz, and forced a commissary of provisi-
ons belonging to the French grand army to
give him all the money he possessed, amount-
ing to the sura of 1500 crowns. The bur-
-gomaster had taken no measures to prevent
the robbery, nor to secure the culprits ; and
the master of the house where the conimis-
»ary lodged, assisted Fisscher in the commis-
sion of the theft. The governor-general of.
Berlin sent to Kyritz as soon as he was in-
formed of this affair, the military commission
•stablished in this capital, in order to find
©ut and punish the offenders. This com-
mission after having collected all the proofs
of the crime, condemned to death the bur-
gomaster of Kyritz, the man at whose
house the commissary lodged, the sergeant
IFisscher, and a cuirassier of the same regi-
ment, with him. The commission, moreover,
¦condemned the town of Kyriu to make
restitution of the sum stolen, to pay the ex
yences of prosecution and of the removal
of the commission.

The passage of French troops, in divisions
and in whole regiments, is more considerable
¦than ever; we also see passing daily, numer-

April 14.
In order to be nearer the fortresses of
Graudentz and DantEic, the siege of which
is about to be carried on with new vigor,
and for the purpose of protecting the corps J
¦who invest those places, the grand army has
taken the following positions—
The prince of Ponte Corvo occupies
Braunsberg, Elbing and Holland. His line
of operations extends along the Passarge,
to the mouth of that river. Marshal Souit
is posted at Leibstadt and its vicinity ; he
guards also the Passarge. Marshal Ney oc-
cupies Gustadt and the environs ; his line
of operations is the Alle ; he has behind
'him the upper part of the Passarge.
Marshal Daroust's head-quarters are at
.Detterswald, a large village situate on the
Passarge ; one ol his divisions occupies the
'upper part of the Alle and the little town of
.Allenstein, which has been put in a state of
to an audienc* of his majesty. They wait
for the first fine day to re-open the cam-
paign, if Russia does not consent to the
propositions which have been made to her.
All the corps of the grand army are collect-
ed into three principal divisions ; the artil-
lery forms a terrible front.
We wait with impatieuce for the news of
peace or of a great battle ; every thing i»
ready ; a single look of the emperor will
determine. We are informed that the Rus-
sians have divided their army into 3 grand
divisions; one will be commanded by the
king of Prussia, the centre by prince Con-
stantine, and the right wing by Benningsen.
Augsburg, April 16.
We have read with considerable surprise
in some public prints, that a letter from Vi-
enna states among other things, that an Au-
strian army was about to assemble in Upper
Austria. There is as much falsehood in this
news as. in that of the approactiing departure
/of the French garrison of Bonneau, and of
the delivery of that, place to our troops ; the
fate of Brannau is irrevocably attached to
that of Cuttaro. The house of Austria is .
perfectly agreed on this subject with France.
Naples, April it.
The king has been informed officially; it
is said, that the sublime porte had acknow-
ledged him as king of Staple*, and had en-
joined the Barbary powers to respect the
Neapolitan subjects, ;nd to restore all the
I slaves of this nation.
Constantirofile, March 6.
A circumstance very advantageous for the
porte, is the declaration which the Austrian
minister has, j-.st made, importing that his
court is firmly resolved to observe the strict-
est neutrality in the war which has broken
out between the Ottoman porte and Russia.
This note is expressed in the most obliging
terms ; it is there said that Austria will ne-
ver consent that any power whatever should
aggrandize itself at the expellee of the porte,
and arbitrarily appropriate to itself provinces
under her dominion, tten. Sehastiana, am
bassador from France, has also .notined the
Turkish minister that the court of Vienna
had consented that the French army of Ita-
ly should pass through the Austrian Frioul
on their way to Bosnia.

Firkemtien, April 9.
" A party of 400 Prussians who had em-

He so ably manoeuvred as to carry off the
400 Prussians, among whom were 120 ca-

Parjs, April 18.
Official Ncivf from Constdntino/Uc.
All the notes presented, as well by theam-
lor Arbuthnot, as by the vice admiral,
whilst the enemy's fleet was before Constan-
tinople, tend to shew the eminent check the
English have received, and confirm, the opi-
nion we had of the good conduct of the
porte, and of the Musselman people.
Vice-Admiral Duckworth had begun by
burning a ship and live frigates, and by mas-
sacreing the crews which were on board.—
He arrives before Constantinople, and the
first arms which he used were menaces of e-
very kind. But when he had begun to com-
piehend that they did not frighten the porte,
he changed his tone, desisting from a part of
his pretensioas, and finished by considering
himself too happy in being able to repass the
.-¦treights.
The conduct of the porte has been energe-
tic and prudent. Scarce awakened from the
astonishment which an attack as abrupt as
unexpected was calculated to inspire, she
armed all the shores and as soon as the Se-
raglio and the coaster of Europe and Asia
were sufficiently garnished v, itli cannon, she
reinforced all the batteries of the Streight.
When she thought these measures were suf-
ficient for \vtv defence, she assumed the tone
that becSiae a great power, she menaced in
her.ljturn, and the English fleet gained the
passag* of the Dardanelles and fled shame-
fully.
