others by the ftrongest oaths (which tranfaction poffed at Czenftochau) to deliver the king, dead or alive, to the confederates. He received his majefty's pardon, and then led the king out of the road amongst the bushes by Bilano. After they had travelled an hour in the dark and exceffive bad roads, they arrived at a poor cottage, where his majefty threw himfelf down quite exhaufted on a miferable bed, and fell asleep. From hence advice was fent to general Cocceii, who came immediately with a party of horse, and had the pleafure to lodge his majefty, about four in the morning, fafe in the caftle. His majefty, befides the imminent danger of his life, had every diftrefs to combat with, and this aggravated by two wounds on his head, one by a fabre, and the other by a piftol-ball, which only grazed. A general thanksgiving was offered up to God for the prefervation of his majesty's life, and Te Deum celebrated in all the churches, with the difcharge of 100 can non. The confpirators had been in the city fome days, having got in by means of fome waggons laden with hay. CORSICA. Beftia, O&. 28. We have received a detail of the affair which happened a few days fince between the Mountaineers and a large detachment of French, who went from hence for Ajaccio, under the command of a colonel, licut. colonel, and a major. This detachment having landed last week, and taking its route by land for Ajaccio, was unexpectedly attacked at the mouth of the Ecriate by a numerous troop of Mountaineers, pofted in ambulcade, who fired upon them fo brifkly, that the French, who would have put themfelves into a state of defence, though they faw not the enemy, were foon driven into diforder. A troop of the robbers (fo the French, from whom we have this account, Pyle thefe brave islands,) then fallyed out of the wood, furrounded them and cut off their paffage, fo that they remained expofed to the fury of the latter, who fired on them on all fides. The carnage was great, and the few that remained alive, were obliged to furrender at difcretion. The Corticans took from them their arms and horfe-furniture, after which they difmiffed them; the staff-officers and fome fubalterns were detained prifoners, and 6coo louis are demanded for their ranTom. The French government, in order to obtain again the officers of diftin&tion, fome of whom are wounded, have offered 2000 louis, and liberty to feveral Corfican families which are in prifon, but thefe banditti will not abate of their first demand. They have taken alfo twenty two mules, laden with baggage and provifion, together with the military cheft, which the detachment were conducting. Progress of the War between the Ruffians and the Turks. Smyrna, Sept. 19. The mafter of a French 4 veffel from Salonica reports, that the Raf fians have taken the ifle of Negropont, where they found a great quantity of corn, and have broken down the bridge which formed a communication between that ife and the main land. Conftantinople, Oct. 3. Count Orlow have ing carried off the cattle and corn from the Ifle of Negropont, put again to fea with his whole fleet confifting of forty fail, and arrived at Ofandra in Macedonia, probably ia order to provide himself further with pro vifions, of which he stands in great need. From thence he proceeded to Cavalla on the fame coaft, which he bombarded for three days, delivered up Orfana, another place on that coaft, carried away part of a large magazine of corn, and burnt the remainder. EGYPT. Cairo (in Egypt) Aug. 18. Mr. Montague is returned hither, and propofes to fettle at Rolette, where he has ordered his family to join him. At an audience which he had lately of Ali Bey, he claimed the fame he. nours as the beys of the country, because in his firman [pafiport] the porte gave him that title, which the Turks through politeness, give to all the officers of Chriftian powers in the Streights of the Levant, from an am batlador to an interpreter. We know not how he was received in the governor's pa lace; but this is certain that he went thither on horseback, a diftinction granted only to Confuls, other foreigners being obliged to ride on affes. Letters from Cairo mention, that Ali Bey has renounced the conquefts he had made is Syria, to fecure thofe in Egypt and the Black Sea.
