• FRENCH PAPERS. AU the attempts hitherto made by the enemy to excite troubles in the Tyrol have been ineffectual.— The Austrian General Hillier has caused incendiary proclamations, which have produced no effect, to be distributed through it, and a person named Speck. barber, one of the former insurgents of 1809, has dared to address to several bailiwicks a letter with the same intent. The Commissary-General Baron de Herchefeld has only replied to it, by offering a reward of 1,000 ducats to whoever should deliver Speckbacher up, dead or alive. The last accounts from Insprnck state, that every thing remained tranquil in that town. HAMBUROH, SEPTEMBER 16. On the 12th inst. about eight in the morning, seve ral English vessels filled with troops and cannon pre. sewed themselves before Neuhaus, arondissement of Stade, and disembarked a certain number of men, with the intention, undoubtedly, of taking some ships which were in the port; but the enemy was so well received by the Custom-house officers and gendar merie, that notwithstanding the fire of his artillery, he was constrained to re-embark without succeeding in his design. During this combat, which lasted several hours, the Mayor of Neuhaus distinguished himself by the activity with which he provided for the wants of our soldiers ; be carried them himself cartridges, under the enemy's cannon. . The Prefect, informed of this conduct, came to congratulate this functionary in the name of his High ness the Prince of Eckmuhl, to whom he bad given an account of it. FRONTIERS OF SAXONY, SEPTEMBER Is. The creOit of our Bank-bills gets better. The Russian troops have left the Duchy of Warsaw to join General Labanow's corps. The Prussian Go vernment has just raised forced loans upon the most opulent persons. The city of Berlin has been obliged to pay 30,000 rix dollars. 1 1 f 1 1 4 NUREMBERG, SEPTEMBER IS. The Archduke Palatine of Hungary, who went to Vienna to represent to the Austrian Ministry the difficulties he experienced in the new levies in that' kingdom, and to seek the means of overcoming them, has returned to Pest. It appears that the Hungarian Nobles with to rilke advantage of circumstances to obtain from the Em peror of Austria all that was contested in the last Diet, which lasted so long, and in which they were not able to agree in any one point. Besides the na tion always wishes to stipulate as the first condition that it shall be confined to defending the frontiers of the kingdom, and that it shall not be forced to pass them. It appears that a . true system of terror is the order of the day as well in the marche of Brandenburg as in Silesia. No property is respected. Every thing considered of any utility to the army is carried off, at least, such is the pretext used. Horses, oxen, cattle of every description ; the crops, all is struck with requisition ; no ccmplaint, no representation is attended to. The unfortunates who indulge in them, are instantly accused of favouring the bench party, and treated with extreme rigour. The prisons of Perlin, Breslau, and several other towns, are filled uith victims ; 600 !nen have for a considerable time been working upon the entrenched camp at Leignitz. Leignitz presents a miserable coup ; all the trees which wcre in ;LC gzidens : public walks and envi rons, have been tovn up ' a great number of houses in the suburbs of Breslais Hainan have been puled down. Some walls, for the purpose of erect i::g platforms behind them, and placing infantry on them, only have been allowed to remain. T;:e hand somr: country houses around have been destroyed.— In a word, all the country is ravaged, and never could the enemy have done it so much injury as by tie measures they have taken to preserve it. PARIS, SEPTEMBER es. Several letters from Dresden inform us that the . Emperor left that city on the 15th in the morning, to visit the troops who occupied the camp at Pima; no remarkable event occurred there ; for some days a cannon even had not been fires. The army was occupied with its usual labours, and the niost severe discipline was established. Thus nothing had passed in those countries, in the eyes of men endowed with good sense, which ought to have given place to the absurd reports which have been circulated at Paris. They even have not, as may be seen, the shadow of probability, and they only serve to prove the bad dis. positions or rather the culpable avidity of some spe- Culators who circulated them. COPENHAGEN,. SEPTEMBER 16. Chevalier Klaumaun has addressed to Baron and Commander de Holstein the following Report, dated the 4th instant t. I was attacked yesterday morning before Ben. sum, where I was at anchor with seven gun.boats, by ten English gun-boats and four boats. , g Not being able to perform any evolutions on account of localities, I remained in the position where I was. _ _ _ " A very brisk fire lasted from eleven to half-past three, within cannon shot. Then the enemy's boats retired after having lost many men. " Two of these boats were in danger of sinking, and the others were obliged tc tow them off. They were soon after Joined by three enemy's gun-boats, but, notwithstanding this reinforcement, they dared not to renew the attack. All my boats were more nr less damaged. It was impossible for me to pursue the enemy. ft We had seven men killed and sixteen wounded, among whom were ten dangerously. My gun-boats can be repaired in a - few days. R The enemy is at anchor within one mile and a half distance, with eleven gun-boats .; the two others ca' uoc be discovered, and it appears certain they )aye been sunk. (Signed) 41 If,LAUSIMM. Es Bump, Sept. 4, MS." His Majesty has expressed his satisfaction to this 9154 r 40 his sailors under his orders. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 19. We have seen pass here several merchants arriving ram France and the banks of the Rhine, proceeding o the fair at Leipcic. Some days after we saw a rtain number offtm return ; fear seized them on ix PM% OCT ii.4O,W not whT ; they retraced their read, and will probably on their arrival at their homes, report the. panic terror that seized them. It may readily be supposed, that wishing ridicule for having been afraid, they will not fail to exaggerate and enlarge objects, as all those do who west con. rage. However, several travellers proceeding from Dresden arrived here and quite .re-assured us; they have indeed met with some enemy's parties in diffe rent directions; but they eat and drank with those marauders, who did them no harm, and who were well infor med of the march of the French columns, in the design of avoiding them. Those isolated de tachments, in effect, only looked after couriers and the mails, which in general conveyed some money to the officers of the Ably. All those rovers itiake much noise and do little work. They plunder unescorted convoys—isolated houses ; but carefully avoid serious encounters. This is a manner of making war wh4 . 11 yields much, and exposes little. The following trait, which recently happened in the town of Bayreuth, and the authenticity of which we will guarantee, will give an idea of the facility with which timid men allow themselves to he duped by every adventurer possessing the least audacity : " In the beginning of September an Austrian hussar alone entered 'Bayreuth ; he announced the immediate arrival of 1500 men, and demanded that ' all the malefactors confined in the prisons of that town should be set at liberty—it was refused ; he threatened, and at last the Authorities of the town had the weakness to grant him the setting at liberty, which he then demanded of a woman. He took up this woman behind him and disappeared ; but it was soon known that this terrible partisan was a robber, the lover and accomplice of the woman, who disguis , ed himself as an Austrian hussar to deliver her.'

Yesterday afternoon reports were again in circula tion of the evacuation of Dresden after several dread ful battles whiCh had been fought on the 17th, 18th, and 19th instant ; and to these reports another was added, namely, that BoNAPARTE had demanded an armistice, which had been refused. We can say no- i thing as to the authenticity of these rumours : on the contrary, we are not inclined to give them any credit —for they come through a source which has fre quently of late tampered with the public credulity, we mean that of the Dutch fishermen. This morning the same reports are revived, with the simple addition of their having been brought to the Downs by the RESOLUTION hired cutter from off Flushing—this adds nothing to the probability of the occurrences which the fishermen pretend to detail. By thus changing i the dates from day to day, they have a chance of ' being in the right at last. But we have plenty of evidence from the French Papers themselves, that although there has been no actual explosion in the vicinity of Dresden up to the 17th or 18th, the ground totters beneath the Tyrant's feet. In an article from Frankfort, which will be found among our extracts of to-day, rte traders going to and returning from the fair of Leipsic are said to have been panic-struck at certain occurrences in their neighbourhood. The fact ie, that Saxony now swarms with detached parties of armed patriots; they are in deed designated as " marauders," but they ate and drank with the inhabitants, and did them no harm ! This is glorious—the flame of insurrection is spread ing throughout Germany, precisely in the way the friends of mankind could wish. The patriots of Germany, the pupils of SCHNEIDER, SCHLEGEL, and KOTZEBUE—those who tread in the footsteps of ScmLL, HOFER, and PALM, and who have sworn to deliver their country from the most sanguinary op pressor who ever visited the earth, cannot surely serve the glorious cause by insulting or robbing the pt ace able inhabitants around them. It is against armed' men only, and against couriers and mails that their vengeance is levelled. " All these rovers make much noise and do little work." The latter part of this passage is contra dicted by what follows;—s" they plunder unescorted convoys, isolated houses, but carefully avoid serious encounters.—This is a manr, r of making war which yields much and exposes little."—lt is the kind of war, however, which, in conjunction with the efforts of regular armies, has saved Spain, and if persisted in, will save Europe. Great anxiety is displayed to assure the French public that the Tyrol is tranquil—the very repetition of the assertion convinces us of the contrary. If any thing were wanting to convince us that the national spirit of the Austrian and Prussian States has been roused to the proper antegallican pitch, it would be found in the article from Nuremberg. The Prisons of Berlin, Breslaw, and several other places, are filled with the admirers of the French, and severe requisitions are made upon the properties of these worthless wretches. Without this system of reta liation there would be no hopes for the success of the good cause. It was far otherwise in the war which preceded the battles of Jena and Wagram, and which ended in the demolition of the Prussian and Austrian Monarchies. We yesterday mentioned the arrival of intelligence from Lisbon and Corunna, but rve cannot confirm that part of it today which reported the advance of 4.ord WALLINGTON into France, or the capture of 13arcelon;. With respect to the former report, it is said in the Official Circles that his Lordship has pore thaneseeexpressed anopinion hostileto any movement beyond the Pyrenees, until Spain was completely cleared of the enemy. As to Barcelona, it is not likely that the French will give it up without a despe rate struggle, for it is the key of Spain on the side of Catalonia, and not surpassed in point of strength by any fortress in the Peninsula. Private letters from Corunna contain the following articles : 44 There is a report that SucHrr intends to march by the Valk de "Iran, to form a junction with SOUL?, but it is certain that, according to the latest authentic accounts, he was endeavouring to concentrate his forces near Barcelona. " The youth of Catalonia have answered the call of the Commander of that province, and are all in arms, eager to assist in avenging the injuries of their country. _ " Marshals SOULT and MONCET are endeavouring to assemble a force at Cleron. Great requisitions have been made in all the Southern Provinces of France. The garrison of Pamplona is said to be reduced to the greatest extremity, having been for more than a month on halt rations of very indifferent food." ,8 VALENCIA, SEPT. 7. , t We are ignorant of the last movements of Lord Bentinck, in Catalonia. It is circulated with much appearance of probability, that the enemy's garrison of Sagunto is suffering under a disease which is pe culiar to it. " It appears that all the flying divisions . are to rein. force the Pyrenean army. We are assured Mat Ge neral Whittingham, with the Spanish troops under his command, will take the same direction. 44 We are persuaded that Lord Wellington will have 160,000 men, with 16,000 horse, when he re. ceives all the Spanish and British force destined to that point." " ZARAGOZA, SEPT. 3. " The French garrison in the fortress of Jaca, continues to be strictly blockaded, and is reduced to the greattst extremity, by the want of n:eal. It had reason to repent of the attempt it made to escape, and must give way to c;rcurnstances, or perish. " lite Valencia Extraordinary Gazette, of the 31st ult.: contains alettcr from the General in Chief of the 2d Army, in which he states, upon the autho rity of sotr.e Masters of vessels who had just arrived from Salon,that Barcelona was evacuated on the 29th. But some letters which have been received from Tar. regatta assert, that Suchet has fortified himself in Cambrils, after having scot eight of his best battalions to Souk ; and this leads us to suppose that the said evacuation is not quite certain. " The Madrid Gazette, of the 1 1th of September, contains a letter from General Frere, commanding the Fourth, dated Irun, 2d September, to the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, giving an account of the attack made upon his position on the 31st of August, in which the enemy was thrice repulsed with great loss. It states, that the French advanced from 16 to 118,000 ; that his loss was great, but that of" the enemy was infinitely greater; and concludes with giving the most unqualified praise to the Officers and soldiers engaged, and the following statement of the Spanish loss: " KILLED—I Chief, 17 Of-ers, and (2PO sol3lers. " WOUNDED-6 Ch!efs, 62 OffictV, and 1133 soldiers. " RECEIVED COITUSION3--3 Officers, and leg soldiers. " TAILED PRISONERS-5 Officers, and 66 soldiers." We understand that Paris Papers to Monday last, were received this forenoon. We do not learn that they contain any intelligence of moment ; but the persons on the Stock Exchange, who are in the habit of receiving French Journals with extraordinary dis patch, have made large purchases, and Omnium has in consequence risen about a quarter per cent. A curious paper from Moscow has found its way to this country ;itis an accurate muster-roll of the French army, up to the period of its leaving that city in November last, together with the casualties which betel it from the commencement of the cam paign. On entering Russia, the number exceeded 500,000 men ; at the battle of Borodino alone, they admit of a loss of above 56,000. The reverses which BONAPARTE has lately eve. rienced in Germany, have created a visible alteration in the demeanour of the French prisoners at the dif ferent depots ; there are 7000 at Gosport, Portsmouth, and its neighbourhood. Letters from our squadron off Flushing, inform us that, on the 17th instant the JASON frigate, three brigs, and two cutters, being the whole of the force now tiff Flushing, were taken in a very pretty style close alto the enemy's port, by the Commodore the Hon. Cap tain KING. The vessels formed a line, took in their sails; they then dressed in colours, having the Spanish over the French, and concluded the display with a salute of 21 guns, in honour of the late vic tories is Spain, to the no little astonishment of the enemy. The same letters state, that so greatly are the armies of the enemy in Want of men, that once more all the best men have been taken from the ships at Flushing, and sent to the Grand Army : this took place about a fortnight ago. They collected in all about 2000. This circumstance may, perhaps, account for Ad. miral YOUNG, with the heavy ships of that squadron, having returned to the Downs :—there being no pos sibility at present of the French fleet at Flushing put ting to sea. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the Henry Addington was taken up, in addition to those already engaged for the company's service.-.-Captains BIRCH and DONALD sox were sworn into the command of the Cabalva and Neptune, destigod to Bombay and China.

His Majesty's ship RINALDO takes convoy to Guernsey, and not the SNAP gun-brig. Upon comparing dates, we fear there is too much reason for believing the vessel, mentioned in the Afoniteur to have blown up in action with a privateer, to be his Majesty's schooner ALPiIIIA, Lieutenant JoNEs commander, that vessel not having been heard of since sailing from this port, which is now nearly a month since.

Monday last, died at Portsmouth, of a rapid de cline, in the 20th year of her age,, SARAH, second daughter of Mr. MACNAMARA, of that town. The brig Hazard, that was taken possession of by the SWAN cutter, and carried into Newhaven, as stated in the STAR a few days back, was deserted by her crew in consequence of their taking the cutter for a French privateer. It seems they fired twice at the cutter, and then took to their boat, leaving the ves sel, with all her sails set, for the supposed enemy.— Such is the statement of the Master and his people. A letter, by way of Bermuda, from New York, dated the 20th July, says :—" The line of Torpedoes intended, if necessary, to be stretched acres: our nar rows, are completed, and can at twelve hours' notice be placed in a situation to blow up the most, if not all vessels passing by Forts Richmond and Hudson• This line of Torpedoes, together with the forts on each side of the narrows, which will shortly trount upwards of 100 pieces of cannon, will render, in the opinion of the most skilful engineers, this city per fectly safe, in case the enemy should attempt to enttt our harbour." I As FRANCIS SEYMOUR LARIIINT, Esq. Deputy Judge-Advocate with the Forces in Spain and Por tugal, was lately riding among the vast mouirains near the frontiers of France, accompanied by ao iie young officers and their several servants, -dniiring the majestic scenery around them, and conversinv to gether in imaginary full security, they were descried from the neighbouring positions of the enemy, and soon were surprised by a detachment. The young officers nimbly and desperately sprani; off their char gers, threw themselves into deep hollows covered with bushes, and escaped amidst a shs wet of shot. Mr. LARPEIT struck his spurs into his horse, and wheeled round in the confusion, bat was instantly surrounded and taken prisoner. He and his servants are now at layonne.
