Lite European News. received by an arrival at boston, 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 | Os the F.mperor JCafioFon to the (Iravd Army. 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 bnjders of the Nienien with the rapidity of the eagle. 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 rels anu alter having obtained a glorious peace, which carr.es with it the guarantee of its dotation. It is tin e that our country should live at reit, secure from the malignant influence of England. My benefits (hall ; prove to yiu my gratitude, and the full extent of the love I bear you. At Uie imperial camp atTiifit, June 22. Washington, September 2. Yesterday, a lew minutes past noun, intelli 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 August. Immediately, in commemoration 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 ble, his country has sustained a great —we hope, particularly in the present crisis of our affairs—not an irreparable loss. Capt. Pearce, of the schooner Eliza-Ann, ar rived at Charleston from New-York, states, that on the 3d inst. a boat came up to N. York, from the British brig Columbine, then at an chor near the light-house. ..'The boat’s crew, consisting of five men, instantly deserted; nor i could the officers recover them.
