FOREIGN IivTALLIGENCE. PARIS, OCIOCFR 12. On the loth inft.ntan extrardinaTy fitting cf the Senate wss held to deliberate upon a Senctit; I;c — nfaiturn. His Majtfly the Emperor has made a ptefent to the Duke (fWarfaw, number of cannon with which the trtu du tut/ of Praga, Iviodhu, Sic rock, and Thorn will bL forinfitzd. Cardinal de Bayonne is expected in this city ; his znitlion relates to the concord about to be made fur Catholic Germany. MILAN, SEPTEMBER 30. The French army, which, before the conclufion of the peace, was to have marched froth Dalm..tia, by Bofnia, towards the Danube, is now on its return to Dalmatia and Albania, where it is continually receiving reinforcements. It is calculated, that if the Army of Referve, Rationed in the Friuli, and country of Venice, should form a junt9ion with the Army of Albania, the latter would amount to 80,000 men. . The iflanda of the Archipaagn are in a wretched flate of defence. It is quire the reverie with the Seven Mods, which have been fortified by the Ruf fians, and are at this time occupied by the trench troops, where number daily increafeF, In that they ate confidered as in a Hate of perfeit licurity againll all attacks of the Englilh. With regard to Sicily, it is, in a great meaftrre, flipped of troops ; and its inhabitants are in a hate of mind little favourable to the Government. How ever, we as yet know nothing politive when the French will engage in the conqueft of that ifiand. The town of Alexandria is (till in po►Te.Tion of the Engla, wlrafe agents offer new temptatirms to the Maruelukes in tipper Egypt ; but their negociation appeats to har4 failed a iecond time. However this may be, the EnglA are doing all in their power to reinforce their army in Egypt : they have fent for all their difpofable forces from Italy, as they are not able to draw any more from Sicily. The IlArbary States continue to annoy the mer chant veffels of the different nations ; yet they care fully abftain from touching thole of France, or the nations under its immediate protection ; but are in a perpetual nate of hoftility with Commanders of Englifh (hips. VIENNA, OCTOBER 7. The Emperor, who departed on the loth of Sep• tember for Styria, has just left Gratz for Salt zburs7, from whence he is expettedia Vienna about the tsth inftant. The States of Mungary rerouted their feffions on the ztft of ha month, which had been interrupted I for fotne time. It is neverthelefs known, that the demands made by the Cabinet of Auflria upon the Hungarian Grandees, confined principally in this, .that Hungary fhould buy up at one time 8o millions of Bank paper. This the States refuted, inlitting that they could not extinguith fo peat a mats of paper withcut extreme prejudice to the Kingdom, but that they were ready to do it in four fucceffive years. It is thought now that the Hungarian nation, upon the renewed reprefentations of the Court, and through its great love for its Sovereign, will deter mine upon redeeming the So millions at two periods. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 7. All the Univerfities cf Saxony are eager to com mence courfes of jurifprudence on the Aapokon Code. Prr'feffor Seidenfliker has opened one at Jena.—The profeffors of jurifprudence in the Univerfities of the Kingdom of Wellphalia, have likewife given notice that they will commence elementary courfes on the Napoleon Code, which will become the common law Wetiphalia. The celebrated Profcffor Hugo, of Gottingen, will commence his on an early day.— M. Buchner will do the fame in the ITniverfity cf Matbourg ; and M. Schador in that of Helmnett. ZURICH, SEPT. 29• By a circular letter of the 16th of this month, the Landamman communicated to the Cantons the Rate of the Swifs regiments in the firvice f France, and renewed his invitation fpeedily to complete the can• tonal contingents.

New York Papers are arrived to the zoth tilt. A paper of the 19th contains the following 'article ? in the shape of a letter from a Gentleman in London to his friend in New York. " Since I wrote you !ail, I have afcertained the following facts : " r. That our Government !oftruCted our Minlfters not to agree to any treaty that did not make an American !hip a Cando at y for icemen. " 1.

The Halifax Weekly Chronicle of the tilt. Pays that the following infot mat ion is derived from a very refpee.tahle fource, and that the reconciliation of Bona parte with Moreau, together with the well known faa of the latter being now aaually employed with the Ame rican Government, leave no room to doubt that the outline of the plan is correaly given, though the vigi lance of the Britifh Government may eafily dellroy it in the bud, or completely prevent its accomplifh ment PARTITIIN OF AMERICA. 44 The correfpondencc of Talleyrand and General Moreau, which canted loch furmifes in New York, in February lali, is at length developing ; and we can fcarcely be furprifed at the events which have lince followed. " Bonaparte and I4oreau are reconciled. " If Moreau can perfuade America to break with England, to,oco French troops are, in conjundion with the Americans, to drive the Euglifh from the Continent. Canada and Nova Scotia are to be erec• ed into a Monarchy, and Moreau to be crowned King of Atadie and both the Canada:. America is to have the Floridae, as well as Louisiana ; and the 'Lod of Porto Rico, or fome other valuable Welt India land, to be given up to them. " The Government of America not having fitffi• cient energy, by the prefent contlitution, the Preti• dent to be fupported in his endeavours to change it, and a new form of Legillature adopted, in which the Chair is to be affumed for life. " The only difficulty is hated by the American Government to arife from the Northern States, who might be aver fe to filch a neighbour as the Kingdom of Acadie and Canada, governed by a Frenchman ; but this may probably be overcome if the war with England can he made a popular fine. " The authenticity of this intelligence cannot be doubted ; and the Americans, who are now loudly crying rut for a war wi:h England, may know how completely they have been made the tools of France and its penfioners." BALTIMORE, SEPTEMBER i;. On Monday morning 1.41 the United States frigate Chef-freak, and two gun boats, arrived at Annapolis from Norfcik—and on Wednelday they failed, with a fair wind, d.iwn the bay. We are unacquainted with the cbjeft of this expedition. MONTREAL, AUGUST 27. Vigorous preparations are making throughout this province, in expeetation of an attack from the States. On a' eview of the militia, this m'rning, the Com manding Officer harangued them in French, and in. formed them that as war was expected between Eng land and the United States, it Was the with of his Majetly, that the People of Canada thould be in readiners ; it was !herefore ordered, . That every sth man of the militia be immediately fele4led, and equipped at the expence of Government. SEPT. 7.—The review of the Englifh Militia was not certainly the let's orderly nor decorous I , r having been deferred until Wedneiday the ad inliant. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the fira battalion, com manded by Colonel Gray, affernbled on the Champ de Mars. They appeared with much advantage; the officers were dretfed in a regular uniform, and the men muttered very arong. During the laft ten days, a levy of one•fifth of tke militiamen between the age of t 8 and 3o has been effeaed, nearly throughout the whole province. The zeal which has been manifelted on this occafion will dO laaing honour to the province of Lower Canada. —Ths force raifed is eftimated at about ; a.OOO men. It can always be fupported by the militia of the point attacked, and by further detachments from more diftant parts of the province, if neceffary. The whole, when added to the ►egular troops, and put into activity, by the plwerful means of Great Bri tain, will be fully adequate to oppofe any force that can be brought again ft us. as to fay, that he has avowedly been in the confidence of Talleyrand this fume time patt. The folloning is an extra& of a letter from an of ficer in the 98th regiment, Rationed at Halifax, to his friends near Kelfit, dated the I Sth of September : " You will be furprifed to hear, that we are under orders to embark for o,ltelsec, and exiled to he en beard the tranfportt pro vided for us, together with another regiment Rationed here, the Newfoundland Feneibles, in two or three days at 'melt. Our heavy baggage's put on board frhooners. The order arrived by a frigate only laft Saturday. and we have been in a Rate of bottle and conflation ever Once. It is rather late in the tcafun, and we shall probably have a tedious and Rormy palfage through the Gulf, and up the river St. Laurence. " There appears to be little ilooht American war—and it is fuppofed that Canada will be the firft object of attack; if, however, we may trust the information of an old Roman Catholic priett, now refident here, who lived for many year in Canada, there is very little profpedt of their fueceeding. He rays, that the Indians of Upper Canada are molt numerous and warlike, and Co great is their deteltation of the raniic:, that they will maCacre every man of them who invades their country. They are alto our good allies. It is a moll unpleafant bufhiefs that we &cold go to war with America ; but. they have hawed with great arro gance ; their Prelident, ike too quay of the Monarch; of Eu rope, is the tool of talleyrand." We !earp from the Virginia Papers, that the hofli lity of the Savages of North America towards the people of the United States it more formidable than is generally fuppofed ; and it is believed that they will commence warlike operation*, uninfluenced by the ref .lutions of this country. A letter from Fort Michilimakinak, dated towards the end of July, ob raves, that revere' of the tribes feem fully determined on war. A very extraordinary and carious talk was circulated among' them during the lalt winter, which has produced a wonderful aka on their minds. Some defigning perfoa came amongft them, under the aflumed character of Monitore, or their prophet, and- polkaed fuch Tway over them, that he 'has form ed an extenfive combination of all the different tribes South of the Ohio, and Eat of the Mil ltl ppi. The policy of the impoftor, who is evidently prepating them for war, is the pretext of relloring to the Aborigines their former independence, and to the favage character its ancient energy. Tnis fyfiem is fo artfully interwoven wits their ancient fuperflitions and modern prejudices, that they embrace it with a religious enthutiafm, as coming directly from the Qxsair SPIRIT. In the STAR a few days ago we gave the filbflance of the curious Talk above alluded to, and which %ill be found to contain fomething like the feeds of the commotions now railed againft the Americans by their uncivilized neighbours. HALIFAX, (NOVA SCOTIA) SEPTEMBER zo. The Eolus arrived here a few day; ago, from Eng land, with difpatches fn. the General and Admiral. From the precautions and Reps ordered to be taken, there is a ftrong prefumption that hoßilities are on the point of breaking out. The 98th, and Royal Nesfoundland regiments, embark from this immedi• ately, for Qtlebec ; they are to be replaced by the sd and 25th regiments of foot, which are expated to arrive loon ; the marines from the fleet are to be landed, to AR in the duty in the mean time. All hands are empinye4 in repairing and flrengthen• ing the harbour, as it is the general cpinion that this harbour and dockyard will be the earließ and chief °Nee of the Americans.

He left it on the t ztli inflant, in company with Admiral STASHOPE, with nine fail of the line, feveral frigates, and an immenfe number of t:anfoorts, wit. naval Mores, and parted with the t:ret three days fince, all well." By accounts from Yat tr. , :.uth it apppears, that the Danifh frigate Fylla, and the Englith brig OBERON, with a convoy of tranfports, (probably part of thofe alluded to in the above letter) deeply laden with floret, have arrived there. The LRYDEN, of 64 guns, with another convoy, was to fail frotn Co. penhagen immediately after the OBERON. The Da nifh fhips of the line may be expected in the courfe of the precut week. By the fame conveyance that brought the Dutch papers from which we yefterday gave extratfts, a number of private letters were received, dated the 17th jail They contain, however, nothing of politi cal importance, if we except the following Circular Letter, addretfed by the American Confulate, at Amfterdam, to the Merchants of that City, of which the following is a copy : u I have to requeft, that you would batten the Departure of any American vat's which nay be to your addrefs, with all ex pedition. (Signed) S BOURNE, American Confulatc." " Amfterdam, Odt ts, x 807." The letters which allude to the above, (late, that the American Conful received his ;nitrations from General Aamaraosc, at Paris. with an explanation, that he was led to the - meafure from the confidera don, that, as it was known to be the intention of the Emperor of the French to aft upon the Decree of the ash November, 1806, with the utmoft rigour, there was every reafon to fuppofe that England.would re taliate, and would loon order that all veffels found coming from, or going to fuch ports as were under the influence.of the French, would be deemed legal capture. But fome of the letters give no credit to the reafon affigned for the Conful's communication, but Rate that BONAPARTE, having attempted to promote a rupture between the Britith and American Guvern menu, which he is apprehenfive will be averted in fpite of all his efforts, has threatened the Americans with hankies. Which of thefe is the true caufe for the notice that has been given to the American merchants in Holland, we cannot decide; but the firß is liable to doubt, for if the conduft of Great Britain,either real or probable, had excited any apprehenfion that the American vef fels would be feized by us, in that cafe, the commu nication of our intentions would have been conveyed to Amtlerdam, not by the American Ambaffador at Paris, but by the American Ambairador at Lon&n. Nor is the fccond teafon fatislaetory. America bas -1 111 ihewn no difpolition to court the frier,2ll4 of this country at the expence of a rupture with France.— It is evielen , , therefore, that whatever may be the fubjea of difpute een BoNAPARTP and America, it is a difpnte that relates to themfelves exclufively, and that affs.as the vital, or, which is the fame thing with them, the trading interells of the latter c iuntry. In CO, if America is difpofed to quarrel with France, the mere decree of BONAPARTE againii her commerce is caufe amply ft fficient, without looking to the confeqtAnces likely to enfue from that decree on the part of England.
