VIENNA, June 20.
Respecting tne revolution at C onstantinople,
we icarn, that the Multi, at the head ot 300
Janissaries, repaired to the Sultan Selim, re
proached him with having rendered himself un-
VMrtn ot the throne by transgressing the iavvsol
the empire, (oihc- accounts say. in consequence
ol the scarcity of provisions, and the introduc
tion ot European exercise and discipline) and
demanded the heads of 14 members of the go
vernment. Among the number were those of
the grand admiral and the grand vizier, who
were absent. Twelve of the heads were im
mediately placed on pikes, and presented to the
people. Selim is dead; being poisoned bv
JN-its apha, the new Turkish emperor.
‘1 he grand vizier had gained some successes
before he died. He passed the Danube at Is
mail, and forced general Michelson to retire
from Wailaehiu to l’oksany and Rinnick
file new government is devoted to the Janis
s.ries. Mustapha IV. the new Emperor, is a
bout 28 years of age, and was a cousin to the
late Selim. The revolution is expected to be
the work of Scbastiuni.
ALTONA. July 3.
Tt is reported that the french minister has
presented a note to the Danish government, |
announcing that Bonaparte would consider the
conduct of Denmark in allowing a British force
to pass the Sound, as a declaration of war, and
would immediately march an army into Holstein
and Sleswig.
* LONDON, July 11.
We have received the French papers to the
30 h tilt, and Dutch papers to the 6th instant,
Wiiich completely dissipate the speculations
L ely indulged m, as to the operations on the
con inent. The most important result is, th t
the emperor of Russia, in consequence of the
irien-ievable defeat his army sustained on the
14th, proposed an armistice, which was agreed
to—lt is not to be broken without a month’s
notice. In the mean time the French army
secures a position, of which ‘he Nienien is the
principal boundary and barrier. This armis
tice is for the express purpose of giving time
for the negocialion of peace, which it is very
probable will speedily be concluded. The king
of Prussia was not included in this armistice,
except that he had five days to conclude one
for himself.
These events were announced at Berlin on
the 27th, by general Clarke:—•• An armistice
w-as concluded on the 22J inst. between Rus
sia and France. One of the articles mention,
that hostilities shall not commence til! a month
alter notice shall have been given. The French
and Prussian armies are to conclude a separate
armistice, within the interval of the five follow
ing days. Ills majesty the emperor of the
French, and his majesty the emperor of the
Russians, are immediately to nominate pleni
potentiaries, to negociate the great work of
peace An exchange of prisoners will take
place immediately. The limits of the French
and Russian armies, during the armistice, shall
be from the Cunsh Hass, the Phalweg of i\ie
men, and from the left bank of that river to the
mouth of the Robra in the Narew, and from
thence ascending to the left bank of the Narew
bv Tylyoczym, Suraz, Narew, to the frontiers
oi Prussia aud Russia —The limits in the
French Nehreng are to be the Nvweg.”
Alter the people had brought themselves to
believe that the French were beaten in the
battle of the 14th, this intelligence produced a
most gloomy sensation. It is now clear that the
continent is at the feet ol Bonaparte, and in all
probability, vre shall be left to prosecute the
c utest alone. Every man’s feelings are now
sufficiently touched by this melancholy pros
pect.
Thus is Prussia annihilated, and Russia shut
tip within her otvn frontier. Sweden must no
longer attempt to swagger, or Denmark to
temporize. Perhaps at # ihis very moment, their
final answers have been exacted, and our ex
peditions exposed to the n.eie chance of being
enabled to return in safety ! The political atmos
phere is gloomy beyond all lot mer example.
July 17.
A mail from Toningen arrived this morn
ing. It has not brought later intelligence from
T ilsit then ive received yesterday, but it has en
abled us to contradict the account of Denmark j
having shut the Sound. On the 2d, about 50
ships belonging to the expedition passed the
Round and sailed by Copenhagen without the
least molestation. A part of the expedition
Went throught the Great Belt. But though no
attempt has yet been made to shut the Sound,
ministers have reason to believe that Bonaparte
will immediately after he has made his peace
with Russia and Prussia, endeavor to make Den
mark depart from her system of neutrality, and
therefore they have resolved to send a strong
fleet into the Baltic without loss of time. Den
mark may then reply to any demand to depart
from her neutrality, a such a measure would
be of no avail, Great-Britain having so povver
a fleet in the Baltic.
The fleet whicn is to be sent to the Baltic
will consist of 22 sail of the lie, bes des fri
gates, sloops and brigs, amounting in all to
about 40 s .il. An order (as we stated yester
day) was sent to Portsmouth on \\ ednexday.
for all the frigates and brigs to sail from thence,
and take fiat bottomed boats. These frigates
and brigs are to go with the fleet, which is to
sail i limediately. The following, we believe.
are he officers that will command the fleet:
admiral Gombier. commander in chief—undei
him, sir Samuel Hood, admiral Ftfington, sii
Home Pophain, and commodore Kcate.
PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE.
Preliminaries of peace have not only’ been
signed between Russia and France, but accor
ding to the following letter from Rotterdam,
dated 11 o’clock at night on the 11th, between
Prussia and France. They were signed on the
20th last month, at Tilsit:—
Rotterdam , July 11. — A'ght.
We have but time to inform you, that an
express from the French head-quarters, broT
the intelligence, that outlie 20th Jure, prelim
inaries of peace were signed between France,
Russia unu Prussia. The particulars are not
yet known
As soon as the preliminaties were signed,
the intelligence was announced to the army,
and celebrated by discharges of cannon and by
illu nillations. Bonaparte published a procla
mation to his army, in which we understand lie
declared, he would lead them back to Paris, to
receive the levvard they had so well merited
Os the conditions of the treaties of peace, we
are not yet accurately informed ; but the follow
ing are said to be among the principal ones:
l hat Poland shall be possessed as before by r
Prussian and Russia—that all the Prussian ter
ritories are to be restored, except Silesia and
Westphalia—.'hat the fortress of Magdeburg
shall be garrisoned by the French, until peace
between Great-Britain and France shall take
place ; and that all the ports and places on this
side of the Elbe shall henceforward be under
the dominion and controul of France. It is con
jectured that Bremen, Embden, and the whole
ol East Friesland, are to be united to Holland ;
and that Silesia is to be elected into a seperate
principality.
T he above conditions, as our readers will see,
apply almost wholly to Prussia. Indeed it is
not to be supposed, that any cession of territory
upon the continent would he demanded from
Russia. There are, however, we have no
doubt, sonic stipulations with respect to the
Seven Islands, and to Turkey. France would
: tipulate that the war between Turkey and
Russia shall cease, and the stains ante bellum
be established between the two powers. We
are anxious to ascertain whether in the negoci
ations any mention was made of this country.
It is stated, in a letter from Delft, of July 11,
that after the preliminaries of peace were sign
ed, 20th June, between Bonaparte and Alex
ander, the two emperors had a meeting, and
mutually embraced each other, rejoicing over
this event.
At ‘he first meeting, which took place on
the 25th, only the emperor Alexander and
Bonaparte were present. A second interview,
at which the king of Prussia was present, took
place on the following day, at half past twelve,
in a pavilion constructed on a little island in the
Aienten. A third interview took place on the
28th, which was followed by a dinner. His
Prussian majesty was also present on this oc
casion.
A letter from the Banks of the Elbe, states,
that after the at mistice was agreed upon be
tween the emperors Bonaparte and Alexander,
the latter wrote a letter to the king of Sweden,
inviting him to become a party in the armis
tice. A repot t was current that the English
hud been banished from Russia.
PROCLAMATION

Soldifrs—Un the sth of June we were attacked
in our cantonments by the Ruffian army. The enemy
millook the causes of our inactivity. He found too late
that our i epofe was that of the lion—he regret 6 having
disturbed it.
In the affairs of Guftadt, Hei'fberg, and the ever
memorab e one of Friedland, in a ten days campaign,
in Ihort, we took 120 pieces of cannon, (even standards ;
killed, wounded, or took 60,00) Ruffians; carried off
all the enemy’s magazines and hofpitals—Kouigfberg,
the 200 veffeis that were there, laden with all f irts of
ammunition, 160,000 uQls,lent by England to arm our
enemies ,
From the hanks of the Vistula we have reached the

You celebrated at Au erlitz, the anniversary of the
coronation—you celebrated his year, in an appropriate
manner, the ha tie of Marengo, which put a period to
the iietond coalition.
Frenchmen, jou have been worthy of yourselves and
of me. You wil return to Fiance, covered with lau

gence was received at the navy-yard in this
city, of the death of the gallant commodore
Edward Preble, of the United States navy.
He died at Portland, Maine, on the 25th of

the loss sustained by the death of this valuable
officer, the flags of the frigates in ordinary, and
at the marine garrison, were struck half-mast.
At half-past noon, one gun \v a s fired at the
navy yard, which was repeated every half hour
till halt past five o’clock ; when the firing was
repeated every fixe minutes, till seventeen mi
nutes before sun-set—at which time com
menced a discharge of seventeen minute-guns,
when, vvitn the departing sun, the colours were
struck, amidst the sincere regret oi his brother
officers.
In the death of the brave and intelligent Pre

hope, particularly in the present crisis of our
affairs—not an irreparable loss.
