'« As Princes, pledged in the name of
whole Nobility, for the preservation

‘ From these motives, it is our duty to

f aßof a letter from Vienna , April s<s+
The following are tbe particulars of
Tally made by the Turks from Bel
e:
On the 22d inst. in the morning, the
ifon of Belgrade made a third Tally,
e furious and better conducted than
ormer ones. The Turks, tbe better
ivert the attention of their enemies,
mabout five o’clock a smart connonade
w Belgrade, as if something impor
was on there, after which
D > or according to some 2coo, of them
arked with great celerity on board a
tar of boats, when they attempted
iciUnv the dyke, which they attacked
in the month of March, and landed, not
withstanding they were opposed by 400'
who guarded it, many of whom return
ing back to the posts in the neighbourhood
were killed > but some fuccours arriving,
the Turks were obliged to By, leaving
500 of their men dead on the spot. The
Imperialifls had eight officers, amongst
whom were two captains, and 280 sol
diers killed, and General Bechard was
wounded ratherdangerouily. They fpeak‘
greatly in praise of a body of Ulahns,
who arrived last, and would entirely have
destroyed the Turks, if they had not jump
ed .precipitately into their boats. The
enemy, it Teems, intended to destroy the
dyke, and burn all tbe boats they found
on the river, having prepared things for
that purpose, but being repuli'ed they could
not eff'eft it.”
By intelligence which we have just re
ceived from a very refpeftable authority
we learn, that the famous Paul Jones has
arrived at Peterfburgh, and was appoint
- ed Rear Admiral of tbe Ruffian fleet,
. which consists of (hips of the line.
The Britifh' officers in the Ruffian ser
vice have presented a memorial to the
Empress, on tbe appointment of Paul
in which they Hate their determi
< nation riot to serve under him; at the
’ head of this memorial (lands tbe name of
. Admiral Greig. This information was
; brought by a vefi'el that was 28 days on
3 her passage from Peterlbufgh to this coun
, try,. and is of more recent date than any
; thing which has lately been received from
! that quarter.
, The Ruffiah fleet was to leave St. Pe
; terfburgh the iftof June. Pilots are aU
, ready gone to Elfineur from this country
; to navigate their fleet to Portsmouth,
where it is to visual and refit.
. Some dispatches received from Paris on
Saturday mention, that there was great
reason to apprehend the tumults through
the kingdom would be more general, ef
pecialiy as so many people of rank leemej
to favor the cause of the Parliament and
People.
The fituatioh of (be present King Os
France with his fubjefts, is exaftly the
fame with that of Charles the First with
the people of this country, when ill ad
visers, and a too high sense Os the royal
prerogative, precipitated him into dange
rous measures, arid finally involved him
in a fate, which his mod severe enemies
did not firft wilh him to experience.
The visit ©f the Duke d’Orleans to this
country, at a period'when his own is in
so perilous a predicament, does not ap
pear like a mere excursion of plesfure. It
seems, indeed, as if the wary duke did
not concur with the French monarch in
the prefen*'meafures of his government,
and yet, for fear of consequences, would
not take part with the people, and there
fore prudently withdrew from the /cent cf
ctftion that he might not excite jealousy
with one hand, nor offend on the other
by frigid neutrality at a time when the
dearest rights of the fubjeft are threaten
ed with tyrannous invasion.
1 A Prussian officer has invented a gun,
which fires off 400 balls one after another,
with a view, no doubt, to extirpate the
human race more speedily—as his reward,
it is hoped the firft fired off in earnest may
go through his head.
Yesterday Captain H. Mason arrived in

BEING disappointed in a supply of
large papejf, I am under the neceffi
ly of thus abridging the Gazette until such
supply arrives. It is an inconvience which
the publication will always be fubjefted
to, while there is so little punctuality ob
served in the payments by the greater part
of my fubferibers; I hope that in future
they will put it out of my power to have
reason for making this an excuse. 1 will
in the mean while remedy the inconveni
ence aa far as lies in my power, by giving
a Supplement on any particular occasion.
Oue may be espefted on Tuefday next.
