The departure of her Majesty the Empress for Cherbourg, will, it is supposed, take place on the 19th or 20th inst. a part of her equipage and attendants have already set out. AUGUST 21.—The Imperial Head-quarters were on the 14th still at Dresden. His Majesty the Em peror enjoys the best health. I.EIPZ;C, AUGUST 8. 3,lllViciii changes in the respective positions of the corps of the army are talked of. AUGUST 10.—The passage of troops from the banks of the Rhine to Lusau and Silesia, is more-numerous than ever. The cavalry corps are magnificent ; they appear principally to concentrate themselves in Lower Lusau, where they find plenty of forage." The number of troops which have passed through Bautzen (Upper Lusau) since the conclusion of ow l armistice, is estimated at more than 80,000 men. In Lower Lusau there is at least 70,000 men. Marshal the Duke of Reggio, who commands them, and who had his Headquarters at Lubbernau, has just trans ferred them to Lukau. Our Savon troops are in good cantonments behind Goerlitz ; they are going to be reinforced by a new corps, which has been organized and formed since the armistice, at Torgau. 'Our cavalry are stationed upon the Silesian flontiers. DRESDEN, AUGUST 6. Much niotion is remarked geneially in the Offices as among the military. A tmus - r 7.—Theaay before yesterday Count de Bubna had a long conference 'with the Duke of Bas . I -t" , All intelligent military men admire the excellent position of the camp at Perna, and the importance of the works constructed between that point and the frontiers of Bohemia, upon both banks of the Elbe, near Koenigstein and Libenstein. The entrenchments are in part constructed in the rock itself ; they render the defiles v.hich are on this side of Koenigstein in a condition to'make a vigorous resistance. I3AREUIH, AUGUST U. The King of Prussia continues to make levies and drain his states of men, as \they have already been of money. AUGUST 12.- -The King of Naples arrived here tc, day, at six o'clock in the evening, dined, and set out at eight o'clock. VIENNA, AUGUST 7. The Emperor is still at Brandeis: he often makes small excursions, particularly to Prague. • RATISBON, AUGUST is. We exp ct the King of Naple, here, for whom 21 horses have been ordered. MUNICH, AUGUST His Majesty the iiins of Sicily to-day alighted at the house of his Minister to our Court, Count de Carraccioli. FRONTIERS_ OF SAXONY, AUG. 9. We are assured that the corps of the Imperial Guard, which are now at Dresden, are to march on ;he 11 th instant, for their ulterior destination. The fortificatiOns of both towns of Dresden arc at this moment nearly finished. With the fortresses of Torgau, Wittenburg, and the fort of Kocnitistein, that town now offers an excellent line of the 'Upper EThe. The city of Dresden has greatly benefited by the long abode in its walls of the French - head qu'ar tins, and a considerable number of military men of a superior rank. NAPLES, AUGUST S. • Troubles have broken out in Sicily ; the inhabitants refuse obedience to the new Government. . THE EVENING STAR. LOND present, one solitary fact is worth a thousand conjee- - tures. There • had been no announcement of either Ile prolongation or termination of the armistice, w:ien the latest accounts brought by these mails came away, nor had the armibtic2 then expired. An Altona Paper of the 10th, received by the Heligoland Mails, contains part of a French Dispatch from Catalonia, which probably appeared in Paris Papers of the 30th or 31st ult. which have not yet reached us. This report shews evidently that there must have been some want of combination in the movements of the enemy in that quarter—a circum stance which tends to establish the fact, that the suc cess of the Allies has had the effect to derange, com pletely, all the plats of operations fornind by the enemy for the subjugation and retention of the Pe ninsula.—LAMAßQUE had marched from Gerona to Vich, expecting that while he attacked the Spaniards there in front, his Commander-in-Chief, to whom his letter is addressed, would have marched upon their rear. The Commander-in-Chief, probably PECAEN, however, had previously. recalled LAbIARQUE by an order which was never received ; and the consequence was, that the latter had to fight his way back again. DECAEI, or 'whoever else was LAMARQUE I SComman. der, may have been himself called to join Suomi.-- This, however, appears to be the state of Catalonia, with regard to the positions of the contending armies now upon its territories :—First, there is LAMARQUE at Gerona ; next, the Spanish troops which be at tacked at Vich ; then LAMAnQUE's Commander-in- Chief ; then SUCHET, the French Commander-in. Chief of the whole; and, lastly, Lord Witaaase BENTINCK, who reached the neighbourhood of Tar ragona on the Ist of August. The above Mails have brought some rumours of a jealousy, or misunderstanding, having arisen between the Danes and the French ; but we consickr this is merely an opinion, originating in an ewleavour :o account for a considerable part of the T.'rench fore having left Hamburg!), and proceeded to Bergedotf , w here they have encamped. We would rather as cribe this movement to a a desire to give support te, and inspire confidence in the Danes, by presenting a strong force, as an intimidator to the Swedish poi.. tion. The French, it may be relied on, have secure •Hamburgh against the effect of sudden surprize from any Power whatever. Some of the letters which accompanied the dis patches from Lord WELLINGTON, were not delivered until yesterday. One of these, dated St. Sebastian, 10th instant, is from an Officer who was engaged in the siege of that place. He states, that The army be fore it were in daily expectation of the arrival of the new battering train, and that on its appearance the siege would be immediately resumed. The trenches were guarded as if the attack was continued, to pre. vent their destruction by a sortie from the garrison. We have seen another letter, of the first authority, which explains a fact but imperfectly known before, respecting the late assault on St. Sebastian. When the attempt was found to be completely hopeless, Captain JAMBS STEWART, of the Royal Scots, seeing the perilous situation of the wounded men, volun teered to go himself, and endeavour, by means of a handkerchief, to make the enemy cease firing. He rushed forward, amidst showers of shot, and after a little time the enemy observed him waving his hand kerchief, and immediately ceased firing. It was in the performance of this act of humanity that the Cap tain received his wound. Captain STLWAIIT is the same officer who was Aid - de Camp to Major• General MACKENZIE, when he was killed at Talavera. Ever since that period he has been on service, and has been present in most of the actions that have taken place in the Peninsula. The ramcz RZGSMT, it is said, returns to Carlton House to-day, and on Monday next his Royal High ness, accompanied by Colonel BwourieLD, depart on a tour through Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Captain BLANCKLEY left town yesterday morning for Brighton, to present King JOSEPH'S sword to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, at the Pavilion. Numerous applications were made from the different Offices to have a sight of this trophy, but as the seal Of Field Marshal the Marquis of WetutNoroti was affixed to the case, Captain B. could not gratify the ivishes of the applicants. The Duke of YORK has assembled together a large party at Oatlands. Among the company are Lord ALVANLEY, Mr. linummELL, Lord JAMES MURRAY, Sir CHARLES BUNI3URT, Colonel UPTON, Sir CULLING SMITH, &C. &C. Armfort House is enlivened by the presence of the Marquis and Marchioness of WINCHESTER. YekterdAy Lord MELVILLE held a Levee at his Office at the Admiralty, which was attended by Ad miral BERKELEY, Admiral Sir CHARLES HAMILTON ; Captains SMITH, Snort; HENRY, &c. Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE had yesterday a long interview with the Lords of the 'Admiralty, on his return from the West Indies. The LORD LIEUTENANT of Ireland has-been pleased to appoint DANIEL. CORNEILLE, Esq. formerly Engi. neer to the Board of Inland Navigation, to be one of the Directors General of that Board, in the place of ROBERT RUTLEDGE, Esq. resigned; and also WIL, LIAM LUNKETT, Esq. late Secretary to the Board of Inquiry, to be another of the Directors, in the room of the Right Hon. SACKVILLE HAMILTON, who has resigned ; and GEORGE 'AUGI/BTUS Bow/me, Esq. another of the Directors, in the room of Viscount DELVIN, resigned. • A beautiful bridge is about to be erected over the Shannon at Limerick ; A . 20,000 his already been subscribed towards it : it is to be called Wellington Bridge. THE ARMY. . - Two more troops from each of the Hussar Regi ments are ordered to be held in readiness for foreign service. The following British regiments of infantry are now at Stralsund or in its neighbourhood :—the 54th Re giment, 4th battalion Royal Scots, 2d battalion 25th Regiment, 2d battalion 73d ditto, 2d battalion 91st ditto. The superiority pf the cavalry of the German Le gipn with respect to the care and attenti3n paid to their horses on service, has, we hear, been represented in orders as an example to Light Dragoons. It appears that the Wyndham transport, at Ports mouth, under orders for New South Wales, was so full and crowded, that after an examination of the danger of disease by the Inspector of Hospitals, a de tachment of the 46th Regiment, on board, was ob. liged to be disembarked without delay. The Commanding Officers of Regiments have re ceived orders from the War-office to discontinue the usual contracts for meat, it being deemed expedient that the supply of meat to the troops in Great Britain should, from the 25th of September, take place under contracts entered into by the Commissary in Chief only. The 70th Regiment is expected in Cork in the course of this week, for embarkation for Spain. The late Captain DUBIRDIEU, of the Royal Artil lery, who fell by the explosion of a shell in the breach ing batteries at St. sebastian's, although a young Oficer, was highly esteemed for his professional ta lents and gallantry. He had distinguished himself during a series of ten years' service in the West In. dies, particularly at the recapture of Martinique, and had just arrived in Spain, to take part in die battle of Vittoria, and the siege of St, Sebastian. He was son of the Rev. JOHN DUSOADIEU, of the North of Ire land ; another of whose sons, Captain Dunonniev, of the sth Regiment, lost his left arm in leading the Grenadiers into the breach at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo. The Regency of Spain have lately carried into exe cution the unanimous vote of the Congress, which ordered a grant of land to be conferred on the Mar quis of WELLINGTON, as a solid and enduring monu- I ment of the gratitude of their nation, for the transcen dant services he has rendered it. Three royal estates have accordingly been submitted to the British Field- Marshal for his choice, and with that disinterested ness and taste which are known to temper the splen dour of his military fame, he gave the preference to that which was lowest in actual value, but which came recommended to his fancy by the beauty of its situation and the amenities of its scenery. It is the royal estate, called the Sitteo d Roma, situated on the river Xenil, in the Kingdom of Granada. Its annual produce is estimated at 3U,000 dollars. Lord Douno, the young heir apparent to the Mar quis of WELLINGTON, is at present at Tunbridge Wells. Sunday, about eleven o'clock - at night, a fire was discovered at Dalry House,_ about a mile west from Edinburgh. On the first alarm, the firemen and se v,,eral of the engines were soon at the place, and, we are happy to say, the fire was soon got under, having only destroyed part of the furniture of one room. Two Comm.—An extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Jamaica, to his correspondent in Bel lfast, dated:it. Ann's Bay, May 19, says.—" On the 2d of May last, there were two comets made their ap pearance in the eastern hemisphere, between eight and nine at night. The tail of one pointing N N.E. perceptible to the naked eye ; both are in the direc tion of S.S.E. from the city of Kingston." An alteration in the projected plan for the new street from Carlton House to Po: dand-place, has, it is said, been recommended by the Comptroller of the Board cf Works, which will include the whole in one straight line (without any angles, as was at first intended) It is thought that the house of Lord' Somalis, in Cavendish-square, will be sacrificed to this improvement. ST. GEoßcesFiztas.—lt is observed that this part', of the metropolis, which used to be covered with houses of the worst description, is now dedicated to the best. The School for the Blind, the Philan thropic School, and the New Bedlam, all buildings of the most charitable kind, as well as conducted on the best principles, are proofs of it. PLYMOUTH THEATRE.—This elegant building was opened on Monday, for the first time, to a very crow ded and brilliant audience, with 14 As you like it," and 41 Catherine and Petruchio." Most confessedly there is no country theatre in England which can outvie the numerous beauties and conveniences 'of this structure, and the tout ensemble may be pronounced unrivalled. • Among the novelties at the Surrey Theatre we understand that ELUSION has liberally granted the revival of Macbeth, on Mond ty, the 30th instant, for Mr. GROVE'S night, the Acting Manager, by whose unremitting attention and exertions the arrangements of thi' Theatre have been so ably and prosperously conducted. The dog Gelert still continues his nightly attractions. A melancholy accident occurred in Batavia Roads, on Thursday the 7th of January last. When the transport ship Matilda was preparing to get under Weigh, the Second Officer cif that vessel jumped over board after a favourite dog which had fallen over. He was seized by a shark, and his arm crushed ; and when he had reached the side of ;he ship, and assist ance tvas given to bring him in, the shark again seized him by the back part of the thigh, and tore it so dreadfully, that he expired, from loss of blood, a feiv Minutes after he had been brought upon deck. A letter from Heligoland, doed August 20 4 says, This moment a small boat has arrived from the Elbe, the only intercourse we have had with the other side for several days, owing to contrary winds. A very respectable man, who is the single passenger by her, states positively that the French have left Ham. burgh for the purpose of encamping themselves at Bergendorg, leaving merely th e i r gens d' armes an d douaniers in the place. The Gentleman further states, that they have done this thrdugh jealousy, that the Danes were not their f r i en d s • and he adds, it is well known that if the Danes s h ou ld 'tyrn . upon the French, that Hamburgh is 110 t a place of ;marten' Secw rity.'!

Paris Papers to the 22d instant have arrived, con- tains accounts from Dresden to the 14th ; but they are silent respecting the Armistice, which was to ex- . • ptle on the 16th. This may be considered as the ;most important circumstance respecting these Papers, • which in fact are very meagre as to intelligence. It appears that MURAT is on his way to the French head-quarters at Dresden, but whether to assist at the Congress or to take a command in the Army in the event of hostilities being renewed, is not avowed. The KING of PRUSSIA 13 reproached with draining his States of men as they have already been of money. How does NAPOLEON raise his own armies ? Some of the private letters brought by the Heligo- land Mails reported, as we noticed yesterday, that hostilities had recommenced in the North ; but none of the letters from the Continent mention the circum- stance, and in fact we believe the report to be un- founded. We should constantly. keep in mind, that letters are generally written under impressions which operate merely on the writer, or which ire inspired by his hopes or by his fears. At such a crisis as the NAVAL 11VTELL1GBNCB. " LLOYD'S, AUGUST !S. " The Lords Oarunbsioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to inform the Committee, that they have given d rections to their Proctor to institute prosecutions against Mr. S. RAN.

The Lady Nepean packet, Captain Lwow, arrived late last night, and the Auckland, captais BRIDGE', this morning, from Heligoland ; the question of the renewal, or denunciation of the Armibrice, is not yet decided by these arrivals ; the greatest anxiety pre vailed at that island, on account of the uncertainty as to that event, but it was generally supposed, that, should hostilities recommence, Hamburgh would be immediately occupied by the Swedish army under the CROWN PRINCE, who was at no great distance from it. The Danes, it is reported, have agreed to a regular post communication with this country, by way of Heligoland, the Mail to be put on shore at Tonningen ; great shipments of corn to this country were making at Heligoland. GRAVESEND, AUGUST 25. •Arrived the Hope, GALLOWAY, and the Neptune, Rostrum, from Greenland ; and the Fame, Gal- CORY, from the South Seas (a prize). HULL, AUGUST 23.

The last accounts brought here stated, that they were beset in the ice, with several others. Among them was the Royal Bounty, KELLY, of Leith ; but by a letter from the owners of the latter we learn that they had received a letter from Capt. KELLY, dated July 4th, saying, 41 after having been in the ice seven weeks, be had on that day got clear; eleven other ships in sight; he intended staying as long as anychanceof doing good. " From this we hope, that the other vessel; of which be speaks had got clear air. LEITH, AUGUST 2s. The Royal, Bounty arrived in Leith Roads on Fri day, from Greenland, with two fish. The ADAMANT will sail in a day or two for Sheerness, where she is to be laid up. The Admiral's Rag is to be shifted on board of the NIGHTINGALE sloop of war she arrived in Leith Roads yesterday morning. from LonghoPes and the CHERDICEIC sloop of war, from a cruise; the latter brought up a Hamburgh Greenlandman, with four fish : they were both put under quarantine, on account of a dead body being on board the Green landman. The man died about three months ago in Greenland, and they have, for some 'reason or other, preserved the body.—The GALLANT gun-brig arrived last night from the Nore. Several vessels bave Arrived in the Roads within these few days, to wait convoy to the Baltic.—Arrived at Berwick, oa Monday, the Norfolk, MARSHALL, of that port, from Davis' Straits, with 12 fish, 554 butts of blubber, expected to pro duce 180 tons of oil.
