By the last account re<eived here from Oczakow, it appear# that the Ruf fians continued their operations against that place, and that the Turks made frequent ral lies, but that nothing of importance had late ly happened theie. . 1 FRANKFORT, OSoler 9. The regiments which are in Bohemia and Moravia, have recalled their soldiers who have unlimited leave; this was never done before but in cases of the last neceflity. 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.

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. ExtraS cf a letterp cm V tenna, dated QSo ber 6 “ The Emperor having made a demand of CXtraordinar' lubfid>es, on account of the Tuikilh war, to the states of Hungary, seve ral of the magnaies anlwered forthwith, that they were ready to lacrifke their last drop of blood, however, on theie conditions only : |. That his Majesty fhonld give them back the crown of Hungary, which he had cauled to be carried off 10 and was n< w kept iu the Jewel-office at Vienna. 2.

That the odious nninary tonluiption ft.ouio be totaih aboluhed. “ Ihe In prior was aftoniftied, and an itvercd thus, ihouly, “Whether they defitcu only so much, and no more ? and why just now, at so critical a time ?*’ 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. St. fames s, Aov. 15.
