DUTCH PAPERS. BANKS OF THE DANUBE. The news from Vienna, of the 19th, make no men tion of any prolongation a the armistice. The French Journals, meanwhile, preserve a pro found silence. A periodical work, however, the po litical part of which is supposed to be under the di rection of one of Bonaparte's Senators, contains the following article, which, under the present circum stances, will not be read without interest— " lArizh respect to Vienna, which one of our best Journals calls the" rosmEtt capital of Austria," it has received from the 4criperur Napoleon, who has just quitted it to review kis army, every mark of his good will and entire confidence. his said, that on his birth-day he walked through it incognito.

PARIS; SEPTIMBEIt at. Letters of the 21st, from Antwerp, state, that 200 gun boats were expected from Boulogne by the waters of the interior, in those of the Scheldt. According to a circular instruction from his Excel. lency the Minister Director-General of the Military Conscription, relative to the recruiting of the Impe rial Guards, she Mayors are authorized to receive en rolments far the grenadier sharp-shooters, ranger sharp.shooters, conscript grenadiers, and conscript rangers of his Majesty's guards. The young men who enlist in the grenadier sharp-shooters and con script grenadiers, must be of the size of five feet four inches ; those who enlist for the ranger sharp-shooters or conscripc rangers of the guards, muit be five feet two inches. The Mayors may admit to enlist, Ist, The young men' from 18 to 30 years of age, who shall not have fallen under the conscription ; td, The indi viduals from 30 to 40 years of age who have already served, and who are bearers of absolute discharges in proper form, provided they had not been discharged for infirmity or wounds. The young men from the age of 16 to 18 years shall, in like manner, be per mitted to enlist ; but they must be of the size requir ed, and prove their having the consent of their parents , and guardians. No conscript already called out can' , be admitted to enlist. Notwithstanding these provi sions, which evince that his Majesty is desirous of fa cilitating to all his sobj,cts the means ofentering into his guard, he has decided that four young men for each department may be directly admitted, by volun tary enrolment, into his regiment of fusiliers. Two of them at least must be of the size of .5 feet 5 inches, and two of five feet 3 inches. BRES l', SEPTEMBER 19. They write from L'Orient, of the date September 10, that in the afternoon of that day the American corvette the Wasp, Captain Lautuna (Rolin), of 18 guns, and 158 men, entered that port. She left New York on the 18th of August, and has on board dis- patches for Government. AUGSBURGII, SEPTEMBER 17. Two cairiages escorted by 22 French dragoons, arrived here this day from Munich. In one of these were three Tyrolese ecclesiastics ; in the other was the celebrated Countess Sternbach, who, as is well known, has played such a famous part since the in surrection in the Tyrol, and has been since arrested. Ten insurgents of the Voralberg were carried, on the 14th, from the prisons of our city to Lind.iu. A second division of them set out on the 15th for the same destination. 13AYONNE, SEPTENIBEIt 13. The passage of English, Portuguese, and Spanish prisows through this city still continues ; 600 more arrived to-day. The corvette la Belle Etaille, from Guadaloupe, has arrived at Port Passage, after a voyage of only 28 days. Her lading, in colonial commodities, is es timated at mon: than a million of livres. The Cap t:.in states that he left the,nsal named Plmperatrice Bienne Abut*, from Bourdeassr, at anchor in the road of Mahan, which was then blockaded by the English. SEMLIN, Atrausr 39 General Jacob Nenadowitsch has transmitted to Belgrave, to the Council of Servia, the following de. tails of the military events that have taken place en the Calubarra and the Drina towards the end of last month and the beginning of the present : There was, he says, a suspension of arms from Ist of June to the 24th of JOT. On the Y3th hostili ties recommenced, and to the 27th there were only some affairs of advanced posts. On the 28th the enemy, with a view to reconnoitre the positions and strength of the right wing of the Servians, undertook with 9000 Janizaries to pass the Calubarra and pos. t•ess himself of Sesaksea, but was obliged to retire and repass that river. On the 29th, at break of day, Ja cob Nenadowitsch haviitg thrown two . bridges over the Calubarra, forced that lasses, with his whole army. The Turks united all their troops to oppose the march of ours, but we rapidly carried all the en trenchments which the enemy had thrown ; h p: Gruschwae, Krojab, Nikicez, and Jarr.a. times were we repulsed by the Tut ks, but at I we drove them back. The s lay was advanced:E! the battle ended, and the enemy retreated upon the Jeser. On the day following we again drove them, ii de. spite of a very brisk cannonade, trot the _posts rai which they had entrenched themselves in Beleowia and Swaaea, and we dispersed the whole of the corps of the Janiaaries, commanded by the Beglerberg of aiyalnka. The Turks rhea retreated precipitately and in confusion to Everabaea on the Drina. They there made a stand for sease.tinve, protested by the cannon .of that place" and afterwards passed into Bosnia. Scarcely had the enemy gained the Drina, when he repassed that river on the Ist of August, fortified the batteries, and took bygassaalt the village of Ko siak ; Nenadowitsch followed them with all his forces, and after two hours figlyin put theM to the route ; the loss on both sideils considerable. The Servians have left a number of wounded between Vailowa and Scobacz. They have gained as 'the reward of their victory a great quantity of ammunition and baggage, a number of artillery horses, and some thousands of piastres in gold and silver. The Pacha of Zwoweck, Hadgi Persa, has been made prisoner, with several other Turkish officers. AUGUST B.—We are informed that the English Minister, Mr. Adair, has addressed to the Reis Ef fendi several demands on the part of his Court which have been communicated to an extraordinary Divan, in which the Grand Seignor presided. Silence is observed with respect to the nature of the propositions made by this Minister • but it is be lieved that they are supp or ted by threats, which seem to have produced a great sensation, and which it is said are made to compromise the honour of the Ottoman Porte. We are curious to learn what consequences this violent proceeding of the Court of London will have, but it is beyond a doubt, that in these circumstances ti.e Divan will be obliged to declare for or against England. There have been some disturbances at Adrianople, excited as usual by some undisciplined corps. We are assured that some.persous have been killed. Some band+. of Asiatic lacops, who were on their march to join the Ottoman army, have committed disorders on their march. It is even said that they liars refused to join the Ottoman army. ST. PETIRSEURGII, SEPT. 6. The Court fasetk contains the following article : Time Russian troops composing the army of Moldavia had been presented from continuing their operations by the extraordinary height of the waters of the Danube. The astonishing increase of the Danube daring, the whole of the summer presented unsur mountable obstashks to every movement. Meanwhile the Com mander in Chief made every preparation for the passage of the, army across the Danube. As soon as the river began to fall, a bridge was throws over from the left bank to the island opposite to Gahm, and a tete-de pont was constructed on the island, Batteries were erected at different points to cover the bridge; and, seven wersts front the bridge, a boom of floating logs, chained together, was thrown across the Danube. A fort was constructed at the entrance of the Seret into the Danube, consisting of a redoubt on the hill and l a floating battery below it. All the necessary preparations being thus completed, the pas-1 sage was erected on the 27th July. '1 be Turks made no attempt to oppose it : only a few skirmishes took place. On the 30th July, Lieutenant-General :;ass, who had made a forward movement from Galax, advanced with the army under his command in the direction of Isaktschie. On his approach, the Turks abandoned the castle and fort, and fled in the direc tion of Tultscha ; a r eg i ment of Coltman.; were sent in pursuit of them. On the 24 of August Lieutenant-General Sass, with hinorpe, approached the ream., of Tultscha. The enemy abandoned that fortress, and the Lieutenant-General took possession of it. This post is of the greatest importance to us, In every point of view. Being in possession of it, our flotilla can act, without any impedi ment, against Ismael ; and 44 of the vessels composing the flotilla have already arrived at Tultscha. Lieutenant-General Platow took possession of Ballad on the 2d of August. The Twits saved themselves by flight, leaving behind them 12 *era of cannon and stores of every description. After she fortress of Tultacha was taken possession art, loth' oar flotillas which were at Galaz and at the mouth of tie Da nube, formed a junction. The island of Tsehatel was also occu picsibyour troops. •I'he head-quarters were transferred on the Sth of August from Galaz to the other side of the Danube. CONFEDERATION OF THE RHINE. ULM, SEPT. 16. They write from Bohemia, that the most robust victuals among the militia are forced to enter into• the regulars, and that a kind of insurrection is organising. consisting of every one capable of bearing any scat of arms whatever. This insurrection is to be called the lindsturm. " What the calm valour of our defen ders was unable to do, the rapid insurrection will ef fect," says the Prague Gazette; but all the articlei in that paper are unable to prevent the inhabitants •of Bohemia from manifesting the utmost discontents. It + is generally known that the Hungarians spew no de sire for the continuation of the war, and that the 12est 4 Austrian Generals despair of being henceforth able to oppose any effectual resistance to the French arrity. is, on account of his great age, which will .ow him to get again on horseback. .ne capital continues to enjoy the utmost tranquil .cy. The decree respecting the friars is carrying into execution without meeting with any obstacle. They; Neve all assumed the secular dress, and left their con-. vents. His Majesty is confirming, by special decrees,the appointments of the different functionaries who have , been eager to take to him the oath of allegiance ; he has even vouchsafed to raise many of them to higher offices. Orders have been given for the renewing of ;lap municipal bodies and the judges of the provinces. ,Aparticular provision revokes the duty, so burden- Kane upon the civil officers, of the first half year's Wary. His Majesty the King, in conformity to his decree . of the . itch August, relating to the Officers in all the different branches of the civil and judiciary administration of the kingdom, has jest or dered what follows : " The Governors, Intendants, and other Chiefs of Provinces, appointed by us, shall immediately proceed to the forming of new municipalities in all the cities and villages throughout the king. dom. These municipalities shall consist of a number of land holders, proportionate to the population of each commune ; and chosen from among those who have displayed the best spirit, and who have been the moat zealous in support of the constitution. " Thirty days after the publication of the present decree, all the 'former municipalities shall be suppressed, and all acts emanating from them shall be null and void. • " All the individuals of whom the new municipalities coltslit shall take the oath of allegiance and obedience to our person, to the constitution, and to the laws ; those who shall reffitse to take this oath, shall not be allowed to enter into office or to exercise any of their respective Unctions." .n virtue of a decrae which prescribes the presenting within one month all the titles of claims upon the State, the Minister of fi nances has published that the said month would expire for NIA.: drill on the 30th September instant, and in the other -arrondise-• ments on the 50th day after the publication of the same, to be made in each chief place. As all the vales are to be renewed by being stamped with a dry stamp, the holders of these royal notes who are now in foreign countries, may preserve suck property, under the obligation, how- , ever, of stating the numbers, the amount and the date of the creation of those in their possession, provided, nevertheless, that they have not been disposed of by indorsement or blank signa tures. This is also to be the case with regard to any other titles of liquidation upon the state. AUGSBURG, SEPT. is. We have just received details respecting Doctor Schneider and the part he acted in the insurrection of the Voralberg. In his defence he has given in to this Commissioners, who have been charged with his trial, a very circumstantial Memorial. The substance of this Memorial is, that Schneider wishes it to he un derstood, that in all he did he was 'actuated by the most patriotic views ; he states that, at the corn. mencement of the war. he endeavoured, by all the means in his power, to dissuade the Voralbergers from listening to the counsels of those who were ex citing . them to revolt. After the entry of the Aus trians into the Voralberg, he had no other choice left than to emigrate, leaving his property behind him, or to accept the superior administration of that country, with which they wished to invest him in the name of Austria. He preferred the latter, in the hope of being useful to his country in such a post, and of serving the King of Bavaria, his legi timate Sovereign. He declares, that he alone pre. vented robberies and assassinations; like those which were daily committed in the Voralberg ;—that he saved the lives and fortunes of a great number of Bavarian civil officers ; that he rejected the counsels and solicitations of those who wished to, stir up a ge neral insurrection of the peasants from the Lake of Copstane.e as far as tbe .13riszaw ; _that le was • only obstacle to its haiingbeeiTeVeied. The system, of moderation, says he, which he had adopted, caused him to be suspected of not being attached to the cause of Austria, and frequently even endangered his life. In fine, nothing cart better prove the purity of his intentions and the innocence of his conduct than his presenting himself at the advanced posts when it would have been so easy for him to avoid everyyursuit. It is said th a t t h e d e p os i t i ons o f a great many witnesses are very favourable to that Ex chief of the insurrection of the Voralberg. _ 1 TUE EVENING STAR. MADRID, SEPTEMBER 10. - - - The King has availed himself of the kind of armis tice which the flight of the English and the rebels leaves in the military operations, in order to take some repose at St. lldephonso, 12 miles from Madrid', near Segovia. This palace, which really has nothitV remarkable except its cascades, is that in which Phi lip V. sunk from 400 to 450 nAillions, in order to have in his neighbourhood some very small appearance of the beautiful gardens of Versailles. His Majesty in tends to pass a few days in that residence ; his prede cessors usuallyinhabited that palace during the months of August and September. The mountains of Guadarama, which are five., leagues from the capital upon the road of France, served as a retreat for some bands of land-privateers, who, from time to time, issued forth and plundered the travellers and couriers ; they had no doubt assem bled for some cault de main a few days ago, when they were surprized and attacked by two detachments of French and confederate troops, the one from Madrid, and the other from Segovia. About one hundred robbers were killed upon the spot, and forty of their horses were taken. General Count Sebastiani, whet had remained in Madrid ever since the glorious battle of Almonacid, on account of the bad state of his heal.h, has just set off for an important operation with which his Majesty has intrusted him. The Adjutant-Commandant Bouille has been fulfilling the ft rctions of the chief of the staff, being of the 4th corps, ever since the de parture of General Franceschi for France. Among our wounded at the different victories ob tained over the English and the rebels, their allies, a great many are rapidly getting well, and preparing tO Muni to their respective corps. The defeats experienced by the rebels in the South have produced their' natural effect; they reciprocally throw the bianse upon one another; and it is asserted that the dissentions are carried to such a pitch, as to determinethe Junta of Seville to prepare for quitting that ray- in order to look for nu* security la Gre xida.

From these and the Foreign Journals received yester day, some of which did not reach us till a late hour, . we have given extracts in the preceding columns. Several of the foreign journals state that the ar mistice on the Danube has been renewed, but the statements differ so much in the particulars, that we know not what to male of them. From Vienna it is' stated that it will expire on the 30th instant; from another place, that it terminates in the sth of No vember ; while an article from Erlangen asserts, on s ) light authority indeed, that the Armistice was con cluded for a month, with a month's notice of rupture. Whatever may be the issue of the negotiation, it is probable that NAPOLEON means to retain Vienna, as he has established a series of telegraphs extending from the French frontiers to that capital, and there is a curious account of the gracious attentions he has paid to that city. • • NAPOLEON is reported to have been seriously indis posed at the Palace of Schoenbrunn. Whatever may be the nature of his complaint, it does not appear to have confined him, as he has,attended reviews of his ow* armies in various remote situations; if we may believe the details on-this subject in the Foreign papers. By a gentleman who has lately arrived from France, on whose correctness we can depend, we understand it to be the fact, that a Courier was dispatched to that City from Vienna, to require the principal physician immediately to repair to Schoenbrunn, and the me dical professor immediately obeyed the command. By a letter from Frankfort of the 24th ult. it ap pears that the Swedish Embassy which had been for --,,„.... some time in that city, had taken its dc,parture f, ‘ P ar i s , after waiting there for some time to mccivc directions froth Vienna. .... :- In a communication from Bayonne of the 9th of 'September, ft is said that a battalion of Poles, Wi t h aumerout field train, and several detachments stf ; other troops had passed through that town on t4ii• progress to Spain.

A young lady named Dnrciterr, who resided in South-street, Paddington road, was., on Monday Lot, sent up stairs by her mother, on some domestic occa sion ; soon after which, her sisters were alarmed by • her screams, and, on entering the room, found that the candle had communicate& to her garments, and she was enveloped in flames. Immediate medical assistance was procured, but she expired in the CJUZSe • of the night. On the evening of Sunday se'nnight, between seven , and eight o'clock, some villains entered the house of Mr. Kennett, butcher, of Broadstairs, broke open a drawer in the parlour, and took two pocket-books. containing 301. in notes—no discovery of the offender has yet been made. ' An affair of great interest, that lately came before the Special Criminal Tribunal at Metz, attracted .t vast number of spectators.—M. le Chevalier Bw.l - - masa' Milt, an English prisoner, accused M.
