CONSTANTINOPLE, Auguftiy
ALL the Ruffian veflcla which have been
detained u 4 »*.n the firft appearance of
an approaching war, have been condurted to
the arsenal and their crews imprisoned, tho*
ivith formalities hitherto unknown in Turkey,
VIENNA, September 11,
An answer has been dispatched from the
Emperor to the blunt demand made by the
Ottoman Ministry refperting the part he would
take in the wars it is as follows: “ That the
Turks being the aggrcfi'ors, his Majesty could
not but fulfil the engagements he bad entered
into with the Empress of Russia.” In confc
iquence of this we expert to hear immediately
a fecoud declaration of war on the part of the
<?rand bignor against the House of Austria,
We presume that the Porte has
vented the answer of the Emperor by the ar
?efl of our Internuncio. In effert, a report
has been some days here, that this Minilter,
in returning from a conference With the Reis
JLffendi on the ipth of August, was obliged
to take refuge in the house ot the French Am
haliadorj others fay that it was onjv his wife
♦n-J rhild’TL*, went thither to t.e out of
danger. But as the XWinhiry have publiflied
nothing on the fubjert, though we have ad
vices so late as the 25th of August, we no 4 e
it is without foundation*
Every thing is in movement in our pro
vinces to make a favourable diversion against
the infidels. They are getting together in
Hungary an amazing ftorc of pcovifions, to
fee put in magazines immediately. In ftiort,
orders have been feat to put all the cavalry
in Hungary on a war efiabiiihmcnt.
S 3. All preparations for celebrating the
ST a triage of the Archduchefsof Tuscany with
the Prince of Saxony are suspended. The
Emperor is gone to Bohemia, but on what
account it not known, though it is asserted
bis abfcnce will be but a ftiort time. We are
liere in the utmost impatience to learn what
part our Sovereign will take in the great feene
that is preparing to be opened in Europe.
The rumour of an exchange of Bavaria is re
vived, and it is believed this affair will be
concluded in secret, and it is said to be no
longer opposed by the Ceurt of France.
BRUXELLES, Sept. 2?.
Lord Torriugton, Minilter Plenipotentiary
of hil Britannic Majesty at Bruxelles, having
received from bis Court dispatches, to be
communicated to the government of the Au
strian Pays Bas, and being in haste to obey
these orders, has addrefted the following let
ter to his Excellency Count de Murray, Lieu
tenant Governor and Captain General, per
interim:
“ The artual lituation of affairs in the
United Provinces, where the troubles have
long since fixed the general attention of Eu
having ftiUJbcwac wore critical by the
recent and relative state of politics in these
provinces, and France having notified the re
solution of aiding with her f Fees that party
in Holland who refufe to give fatisfartion to
the just complaints and demands which his
Pruflian Majesty has made for the insult done
to the Priucefs of Orange, my Court has or
dered me to have the honour of informing the
Government General of the Austrian Pays
Bas, that his Britannic Majesty cannot conli
der the alliance between France and the whole
) republic as a just and fudicient reason to en
j gage her to support a party in an affair cx
\ prefsly disavowed by a majority of the States
General. His said Britannic Majesty has dc
| dared, and often repeated, that is was ina
poflible for him tofuffer with indifference the
armed interpofitiou of France in this affair,
kecaufe, in tolerating this armed interpoli
tion, there could not but reiult conferences
very dangerous, as well for the constitutions
s*>d independence of these provinces, as hurt
r 4 1 in m<xcy refperts to the i mere ft and furpty
of the states of his Britannic Majesty.
«* In confcqucnce of which his Britannic
Majesty is neceftitated to make the speediest
preparations for equipping a considerable na
val armament, and for augmenting his land
forces, to the end that they may be iu a state
and ready to art on auy event.
« But that it will be his greatest pleasure
to let his fubjerts, and all Europe enjov the
felicitv and blessings of pe*ce; unless the in
terest of his states force him to adopt a con
trary condurt; that, in consequence of these
gracious difpolitions, and in order to avert
the scourge of war, his Britannic Majesty has
renewed to his Minister at Paris a repetition
of those intentions, in case the Court of France
are equally disposed, to engage them to ter
minate amicably, and by equitable arrange
ments, the points of discussion which have
impaired the state of affairs of the Republic,
and reduced it to the deplorable situation it is
in this day.
“ I have the nonor to be, with the most
distinguished consideration, your Excellency's
very humble, aud very obedient servant,
TORRINGTON.

Our town is crowded with emigrants from
all parts of Holland, which they abandoned
in consequence of their lives and properties
being in the utmost danger. The Btadthol<ler

HAGUE, September 30.
M. de Berkenrode, Ambassador of the Re
public at the Court of France, has sent a no*e
of Mr. Secretary Fagel, which the Min :/ i«r
for Foreign Affairs delivered him at F<ui«i
(his note contains in fubftaucc • That his Most
THE
Christian Majeffy is highly offended at tho
insult offered him by the invasion of Holland
by the FruiTian troops, the Republic being at
this time hia ally : That his Majesty expels
these troops will immediately evacuate tho
territory of the Republic i And that the King
has already given orders to support, byway
of arms, the pretentions of this note*
AMSTEkDAM, utcbtr 4.
All the negociations of our y. whether
with the Duke of Brunswick on t'e Hague,
have terminated in an entire fob n d on to the
Court of Pruflia and t<> her Ro •' Highneft
the Frincefs of Orange, as appears by tho
following placard :
“ The and Counfellors of the
city of Amsterdam find themselves obliged to
declare to the worthy Corps of Burghers that
they have always conscientiously endeavoured
to aft conformably to the advantage of their
dear countr* 'in general, and that of this city
•n n-irtic' , and that still, in their prefeut
circumstances, the good of this city, ana that
of its inhabitants, is dearer to them than their
own lives, and the prefervaiion of their ho*
nours, their employments, and their pro*
perty.
“ The grtat imminent danger in which
they are involved, and the little time which
with difficulty thev had obtained to deliberate,
not having permitted them to make fully
known to thtf Burghers all that has been tranf*
afted to preserve this good city from tho
dreadful mifehiefs that seemed to impend,
they have been obliged to accede to the point*
which the other members of the States of
Holland have agreed to, and to charge th®
Deputies of this city to yield to every de*
mand, in case they cannot aft otherwise, even
the difmiflion of the eflablilhed Regents, ra*
ther than risk greater damages to the towa
and inhabitants, in addition to those which
thev have hitherto fuffered, and after all,
peihaps, after having undergone thele losses,
lobe obliged to submit to demands ft ill more
affiifting. They call God to witness, from
whom nothing can be concealed, and the oath
which they to< k on affumingthe Magistracy,
that they hav* no other view in conceding
every thing, than the pieventionof the ccr*
tain and irreparable ruin of the city.
“ Since they have constrained to give up
all, they will at least endeavour, and they
hope to be able, to preserve the most perfeft
tranquillity and security in this very populoui
city; to the effecting of which they expert
with confidence, that the brave Burghers,
who have exerted themselves with so much
zeal for the preservation of that tranquillity,
will continue to cxercife the fame efforts, and
the fame zeal, to maintain public quiet in tho
city, and to preserve each individual from &U
manner of violence and oppretfion.
