VIENNA, OSober ij.
The news of the taking of Novi on the 3d
inst. by aftault, was received here on the 10th,
and that the Turkish garrison, confiding of
600 men, had surrendered themselves priso
ners of war. Forty pieces of cannon, with
large quantities of every fort of ammunition,
were found in the place.
By letters of the cjth, it appears, that the
Emperor was (till in the neighbourhood of
Lucoa ; that his advanced post occupied the
tiling grounds on one fide of Caranfebes; and
that the Turks remained masters of the heights
on the other fide of that town.
Ofiober 18. The letters from the Bannat
have arrived here of late very irregularly ;
but we have certain intelligence of the retteat
of the Turkilli army towards Belgrade, and
of the March of the Imperialists on or about
the 12th iuft. to harra'* their rear, and ohfei ve
their motions, His imperial Msjefty was at
Temefwar on the 12th, to examine the state
of that fortref9.
Oilober 22. The Emperor, after visiting
the fortrefle# of Temefwar and Arad, (at the

j sth inst. which on the 1 6th had reached a
village called Soka, and was expected to ar
rive at Ajova, on the banks of the Danube,
this day or to-morrow. The division under
General Wartenlleben, confiding of about
1 5 ,000 men, has retake? pofteftjon of Caran
febet, and extended its patroles as far asCor
nia. General Dalton advances with his corps
to Werfchetz and Weilkirchen. The Turks
remain masters of Mehadia, Schupaneck and ,
Orlova ; but they have abandoned Panfova ;
and their principal force occupies the two
banks of the Danube in the neighbourhood of
Belgrade.
LONDON, November 6,
The Comte de Peyroufe, the French navi
gator round the world, has been recently heard
from. He was at Avatika, on the southern
Jide of the Peninsula of Kamfchatka, cn the
30th of September 1787, which is the date
of his last advice. M. de Lefl'eps has brought
the dispatches from Peteilburgh, as they weie
forwarded through Siberia. They are rather
voluminous, as they contain the charts and
drawings of all the places he has been at since
bis departure from France in 1785. Both the
ftiips he has with him were extremely well
conditioned, and the crews healthy. He had
by his care prevented the dieadful efforts of
the scurvy, and had loft but veiy few men
since his fit ft failing. He is expeften home
fiom his tour towards July or Augufl next.

Extraß of a letter from Peterjburgb , Oct. 8.
«• By advices from Count Mufchin Bulhin,
commander in chief of the army in Finland,
dated the 26th ult. we learn, that, from an
extreme want of provisions, added to the great
difficulty of obtaining them, the enemy have
abandoned their poll at Heckfors, ifrongly as
it is fortified by nature, as well as by art,
and that, finding it expedient to desert even
their principal camp, fimated in Kumenege
rod, they have finally retired from Ruffian
Finland. In consequence of these events, the
commander in chief has sent General Bauer
with a detachment to take pofleffion of these
important situations, and to feture all the
ports and paflages upon the frontiers n
By letters from Berlin we learn, that mat
ters are nearly fettled between Russia and
Sweden. It only rests upon this point, “Whe
ther Sweden will or will not consent to reim
burse the expences required by Russia, which
the latter estimates at ten millions of florins.”
In the firft case it is added, the court of Ber
lin will lend that sum to Sweden, on condi
tion of having Swedirti Pomerania in pledge
until it is repaid.
AW. 14. The mefTage which Lord On
flow received from Windsor, and read aloud
this day half part twelve, in the anti-cham
ber at St. James’s, was in these exatf words :
“ His Majefly has had many hours of quiet
and apparently undisturbed sleep but has
not reaped that benefit from it which was
hoped for.’*
If the King ihould continue a few days
longer in his prefenr situation, a regency will,
it is laid, be appointed, at the head of which
will be his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales.
Sir George Baker and Dr. Warren came to
town yeflerday, and went to the Lord Chan
cellor’B Houle in Great Ormand-ftreet, where
they remained in conference with the chan
cellor more than an hour, after which they
returned to Windsor, and immediately a
council was held at the Marquis of Carmar
then’s office, where all the minifteis of state
attended. The council did not break up till
very late.
The following notice of the meeting of
Parliament was sent to all the members of
both Houses, previous to the favorable ac
counts from Windsor.
“ That the melancholy continuation of the
king’s indisposition renders it dubious whether
there will be a possibility of bis M a jelly’s fur
ther proroguing the Parliament. If there
Ihould nor, it must neceffiarily afl'emble on the
20th itift. your attendance is therefore re
quired, &c. &c.
No monarch in any period of hiftory, in
any circumflance of distress, or difeale, ever
met with so much compassion as our gracious
monarch ; the anxious concern of all persons,
has thrown a damp upon public amufemeiits,
and has interrupted private fertilities.
