An arrival at New York from Bordeaux, and another at this port, from Hamburg, furnish the latest advices from the continent: they relate almost exclusively to affairs between the Turks and English. We have copied all the articles, of any interest.

The insolent and tyrannical demands of the British, at Constantinople, were treated with as little ceremony as those of Nelson were by the Danes—the fate of the latter, however, has not befallen the Turks; the British were compelled to make an expeditious retreat—this information is of much consequence.

The war, with Russia and England, seems to have put an end to intestine commotions, and the intelligence and activity of French officers direct the Turks in all the measures, which their enthusiasm has induced them to undertake: in deed they want nothing but able officers to render them very formidable to the Russians—their proverbial patience and obedience to command are among the best qualities for soldiers. The Dardanelles and other forts on the European and Asiatic shores of the Bosphorus, were putting into a complete state of defence, under French officers. The probability is, that when the English shall have collected a strong fleet, an attempt will be made in conjunction with the Russians, to force a passage and to take the station abandoned on the 1st March—an enterprize, that would be inevitably attended with great loss, and which we think the ability of French engineers may totally frustrate.—Aurora.
