r FOREIGN IN7 EL LIGENGE. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER E. We understand that a higher destiny awaits the Viceroy of Italy. On the sth or 6th some regiments of French troops passed through this city. It is said Chat they are on their march from the county of Hanau, where a new army of reserve is to be formed. Yesterday some English officers who were made prisoners at the raouth of the Elbe, arrived 'here on t.le:r war to France. HANOVER, OCTOBER 5. Yesterday 500 men, of the 4th regiment of light i , ,fantry of the Portuguese Legion arrived here from Wesel: The COmmander, Colonel Count de St. Miguel, had arrived here a short time before. • AUGSBURGII, OCTOBER 2. The day before yesterday arrived here the corps of Conscripts of the Imperial Guard, which consists of one battalion of Fuzilcers, and one battalion of Chas seurs, amounting in the whole to 3000 men. This corps leaves us this day for Strasburg, and is said to be destined for Spain. The 65th regiment of the line, taken prisoners near Ratisbon at the beginning of the war, arrived here this day from Hungary.

The late expedition against the insurgents in Tyrol,' has proved extremely destructive to the troops en gaged in it ; tilt severest loss they sustained near' the Pen7erinidge, where 300 men and 100 horses were citiikr killed or made prisoners ; two pieces of cannon :tnd three ammunitions were also taken. Co- lone] Count Arco was killed ; Colonel Count Spaner, L;;•11:. Count Sparer, and Lieut. Count Lomming, vete tAtm prisoners ; and the whole corps detached on tic unfortunate expedttion, would have been de d, but for the undaunted intrepidity and per. cve!in . g valour with which the Orticcrs and men ex_ ted thenv,e:ves from the most perilous situations.

Some people have affected to doubt the conclusion of a Treaty of Peace between Austria and France. Of the terms nothing is yet known, but that they are most humiliating to Austria may well be believed.— The subjoined extract, if farther evidence were want. ed, demonstrates that a Peace has been concluded. What any person can promise themselves by endea vouring to postpone for a day or two the belief of this fact we cannot even imagine. FROM Ts' ANISURDANI COURANT EXTRAORDINARY OF TIIE 11Th INSTANT. We hasten to inform our respectable readers, that the Bnirgo Mastcr of this city received, at an early hour this morning, by express, a letter from his Excellency the Minister at War, dated at Loo, on the 10th inst. containing an official notification of peace having been signed between France and Austria on the 3d of this month. •' The above important intelligence was immedi ately announced to the citizens by the firing of the cannon on the city walls, the ringing of bells, and the playing of the chimes. 4 4 We cordially congratulate our readers upon this intelligence, so joyful to humanity, and hope that it will be speedily followed by a General Peace," In our columns this slay we have given some ex tracts from German, Portuguese and Spanish Papers, and private letters. No cornet account can be formed of the state of the Peninsula from the printed journals; and where such ummitting care is employed to keep the people in ignorance of every thing that concerns the welkre of the country, we may naturally expect the private accounts to be also defective—but from these only can information be derived, and from them it appears that the people in general arc highly dissa iisfied with their rulers ; and from such facts as are s;drered to transpire, they appear to have but too just grounds for discontent. We shall not dwell upon the subject at present, but we shall collect from time to time such information as may enable our coun trymen to judge rf the real character of the Spanish Government. 41lie ft:llewing is an EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER. IN LORD WELLINCITCN'S AallY l DATLD CAMPO MAYOR, SZP TEMBER 25, 1809. " For the last six months the army has been ex 'posed to almost every hardship, and for the last four they have had link else than the canopy of Heaven for a covering. Yt,u may now expect to hear that we are at length seasoned to the vicissitudes of the weather, which has, I assure you, been very change able, particularly lately, that we h ave h ad a great deal of rain. All this time ve have been without tents, for which indeed we could not have found car riage, Whenever we continued in one Mahe:gut, as they say in the east, for any convenient length of L i ll ie, the soldiers constructed huts for their shelter, we have had ty lAn7 s i c k eillice we came into quarters among whom is a large proportion of officers. The complaints are fevers, fluxes, and interrnittents. " This town is about 100 miles from Lisbon, and a little more to Cadiz ; which place I imagine, will bring us up at last, if Austria should be so abjectly infatuated as to make peace with BONAPARTE. In this event, it is immaterial whether we fall back on Cadiz, or on Lisbon, as the conclusion of this cam , paign would then be beyond a doubt. " Entre nous, the sooner we depart and leave the field open to the French, the better for England ; if this could be well done without injuring or compro mising our national faith with the Spaniards, who are, I assure you a pack of —; and as for their peasantry, so far from befriending us, I have not a doubt that they would cut our throats, if they could do it with safety, or a good grace. " You must not believe all you read from this coun try about the energy and patriotism of the Spaniards, believe me, it is leaning on a rotten reed to place any, dependence on them. General MOORE'S army was blindly sacrificed from trusting to the boasted energy, and assistance of the Spaniards ; and has not this I army been obliged to fall back on Portugal under levery disadvantage, through the ignorance and cow .ardice of the Spaniards? " As to the organized Portuguese troops, they are not wortlrtke trouble that is taken to form them.— You might as well attempt to twist a rope of sand, or build a fleet with bulrushes, as to make an army out of such useless materials. In justice to this na tion, however, I must say that the better ranks are, for the most part, kind and hospitable. " You will no doubt be glad to hear that the wounded British prisoners, left at Talavera, are ex tremely well treated by the French, who bestow every attention on them. They write that the French offi cers will not allow their own servants to buy a single article in the market, for a given time, until the ser vants of the British o ffi cers have first supplied them selves with what their masters need. The wounded are removed to Madrid." The followir,g dispatch bears honourable testimony to the intrepidity of a part of the Sicilian navy on a late remarkable occasion : Copy of a Letter from Captain Maxwell, of the British frigate the Alceste, to his Excellency Rear Admiral Martin. " On board the Alceste, at anchor off Ischia, Aug. 16. SIR—I feel infinite satisfaction in informing you, that the pride and vanity of the present usurper of the crown (4' Naples, were yesterday completely humbled by the bravery and good conduct of the officers and crews of his Sicilian Majesty's navy. To account for their detention here, it is neces sary to inform you, that subsequent to your leaving this island, I was enabled, by the active assistance of Captains PALMER, MILFoRu, and PURVIS, to make arrangements calculated to impede the enemy's pas sage to this idiom!, to his no small mortification and' loss. The usurper had given himself a great deal of trouble in collecting an immense number of gun boats, which he was to review on the 15th ; and on the 16th, as he promised kis credulous subjects, he was to come here with his flotilla and squadron, to chase away the English, to take Pouza, and thence to pass over to Sicily. Several persons believed that he would do so, though I gave them my word as an English officer, that nothing of the kind would happen. " On the 12th, I left here Captain Merman, being confident that he would not suffer the enemy to pass, and proceeded to Ponza, to solicit ten gun boats of Prince de CANOSA. He not only acceded to my re quest, but proposed to accompany me in person with the Venere and Sirena frigates, twelve gun boats, and two bomb ketches, doing me the honour to say that every thing remained at my disposal. Captain At.- MACRO most cordially concurred in this determina tion, and immediately weighing anchor, joined me here on the 14th, and Prince CANOSA disembarked with 150 troops, and two field pieces. It was re solved, that the squadron should enter the bay, to witness the grand fete which was to take place at Naples on the 15th, in honour of BONAPARTE'S birth day, leaving two gun boats to guard the passage. " Next day-break we observed the enemy's flotilla, ' consisting of one frigate, one corvette, and sixty-nine gun boats, anchored in a line under protection of the strong batteries which extend from Castello dell Ovo to Pausilippo, and secured with cables made fast to the shore. In the course of the morning they fired a salute, hoisted their colours, and made a very fine ap. pearance ; while we were becalmed at the distance of five miles. 64 At three in the afternoon, the wind freshened ; we stood towards them ; and, in an instant * that splendid and formidable flotilla, fitted out` iii* so much pains and expence, to take Ponza and Sicily, thinking itself insecure, even under the protection of chore immense batteries, broke the line, and began to retreat towards the Mole. I made the signal, or his Sicilian Majesty's gun-boats add bombs, who attack ed in the most brilliant manner, while the three fri gates covered them, and cannonaded the batteries ; ' and the French frigate, though fastened with six ca.' bles to the Castello dell Ovo, was deserted by her crew at the very commencement of our attack. " The firing continued three hours and a half ; and persons who have left the city since the action, state, that seven gun boats were sunk, and many more damaged, and that'ope of our shells killikl three men close to MURAT. That, under Such eircum, stances, when the people of Naples were tobienter tained with a naval fete, the enemyYs =vine force should be attacked by a. petty Squadron, Oieflrbe longing to their lawful Sovereign, must un4bnbtedly afford pleasure to you and the Commander of -the Cape. My only merit consists in having brought it here, and I hope that you will give an account to the Sicilian Court of its excellent.conduct. lam much indebted to Prince Calcosa, tor his prompt concur rence in my plan ; to C a ptain ALMAGRO, fOr his *ea loos co operation ; apd INFANTS for 'hie admirable conduit in the attack. " Though the enemy's red-hot shot a44oells fell ahoqt us in great profusion, I have the P1e211441 to state that they did us o I nischier whatever." THE ARMY: His Majesty's ship GANYMEDE, of 24 guns, with five sail of transports, from Jersey, bound to Gibral tar, having on board the 47th Regiment, has arrived at Falmouth. The Prince of Wales packet, Capt. T. C. MASON, arrived yesterday at Harwich, from Flushing, with 21 passengers ; among whom are the following : Lieutenant FAULKNER. Physician to the Forces, Mr. MONTGOMERY, Paymaster of the 50th, Lieutenant-Colonel MADDISON, and Captain WILSON, 2d or Queen's. The Leicester, 3d Royal Lancashire, and Oxford Regiments of Militia, are about to leave the Ports mouth district for the Eastward. The Lancashire march en the 27th inst. The Jubilee is about to be celebrated among the Military in a manner highly honourable to the feel ings of the Commander in Chief, as appears from the folowing Letter, which is circular : SIR, Horse Guards, 17th October. The Commander in Chief deeming it proper to mark, by every possible means, the approaching happy event of his Majesty's en tering on the 50th year of his reign, and it appearing to his Ex cellency, Sir DAVID Donnas, that an event of this nature cannot be distinguished in a more appropriate manner than by an Act of general Amnesty and Forgiveness.---i have received his Com mands to signify to you that all delinquents confined for offences of a Military nature, belonging to regiments serving in the Dis trict under your orders, are, upon this joyful occasion, to be re leased from confinement on the 25th of this month,the Anniver sary of his Majesty% Accession to the Throne, and be allowed to , return to their duty. (Signed) W. WY R .Ad NYAD. Dep.j. Gen. In addition to the above, we understand that or ders have been circulated throughout the Military Districts, directing that the military be assembled to fire a feu de joie on the 25th inst. as a signal comme moration of the day. Among the private benefactions on this future me morable dhy, we may be permitted to record one of L'eutenant-General CARTWRIGHT, who has lately been to inspect his regiment, the 3d King's own Dra goons, at Canterbury, and has left thirty guineas, to be distributed on the 25th instant, among the women and children of the regiment. Tuesday and Wednesday, the 2d battalion of the 10th regiment marched from Ashford to Battle, and the Warwickshire Militia marched from Dover by Ashford, for Silverhill barracks. This day and to- morrow the East Suffolk Militia marched in two divi sions from Ashford for Winchelsea. Detachments of convalescent;, of various regiments, have also moved from Dover to join their respective corps.— These movements have taken place in order to make arrangements for the accommodation of the sick from Walcheren, 1300 of whom have been lauded at Rams gate, Deal, and Dover.
