... . ' SOUTH AMERICAN PAPERS. Account of the attack made by the Carthagenians on the troops of Santa Martha, on the 10th and 11th of May. 1813 : 41 About two o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th, seven ye , sels made their appearance off thisharbour, consisting of a brig of war and six armed schooners, with Spanish colours flying, as if they intended to enter the port ;, but upon a signal being made from the brig, they all bore away for Cal Point, and froth thence passed to the city called Fetrois. This move ment put the whole town in motion to ascertain clearly their intentions, and at the same time orders were sent to tie Cienwns to be . upon the alert. The inhabitants of the vicinity were collected together, and the Governor determined to send out two corn parties with two field pieces, and the Indians, to place them in Gayna , and Dubina. About five o'clock in the afternoon, 150 men, withiane field piece, were disembarked, and completely defeated by the troops of Cieneßa and those of Gayna, under the comthand of Miguel Gomez. Fifty remained dead on the field, and some priioners and the cannon remained in our possession. , 6‘ At this period three of their vessels approached the shore, and opened an instant fire upon the road, where they supp.ised the troops were stationed, and under cover of this fire, on the following day,. about ten o'clock, they efeeted a second disembarkation in very considerable numbers. A severe engagement ensued between them, and the troops of Cienega, un der the command of Nancisco 'Crespo, but the ene my's force being much superior to ours, we were obliged to retreat about one o'clock in the day. 44 The dismay occasioned by this movement in thq 'town was very great, since they considered the battle as lo — st. At this moment, however, Prabaw, Com mandant without the barrier, had been applied to for his assistance, he was met with already on the road, with an IS-pounder that had been brought out for the purpose cf annoying the enemy's vessels on the coat, and hastening his arrival at the Savannah, he ordered the generale to be beaten. Great number, of persons were soon collected, aad taking six field pieces, he posted the whole in a position to command the'pass by wh:c:i the enemy ha il to advance. He then divided the troops into foudivisions; that of the rizlo, under Capt tin Francisco Fernandez ; the criminand of the left, un e cFr Lieutenant de la Pena. 1-iv commanded the centre and vanguard He, th• ii marched on to meet the enemy, and foun.i him io readiness f •r b [After some further detail ; the account proceeds ] • In a few rrn:ments a territle slaiighzer ensueu • enemy, surrounded on all sides, were unab e ..tt in any direction; We bad only three killed ve wono c ied: We took t'!ca• colours, and on • f cannon, and 500 muskets, which, with other ii, remain i t our oosse.ssion: . 41 A'Airact of kill of the enemy :17 officers and 3‘v3 so d'ers ; prison , rs, 6 officers. and 38 soldiers. tken.(we stand ::1, two f pounder brass ti,:ld-titces, rausk 2 , e , bayonets, &c."

It is said that General Wrede's headquarters set out yesterday from Schwabingen, near Nymphenbourg, and will be pro visionally transferred to 3ranau. RASTADT, AUGUST 16. The military preparations continue in all the States of the Confederation of the Rhine. They are parti. cularly active in Bavaria, .where all the troops and moveable national guards, called moving Legions, are is motion. HAMBURGH, AUGUST IS. Yesterday, at eleven o'clock in the morning, Ge neral Count De Hogindorp,. Governor of the place,' went to the town-hall, where he had assembled the Municipal Corps, the Council of Prefecture, Mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce, Ministers of the different religions, and the mast respectable inhabi tants. The Governor, alter havieg spoken of the emportent circumstances in which we now are, ad dressed a discourse to the Assembly, in which, after having contrasted the odious revolt of the inhabitants of Hamburgh with the clemency the Emperor had shewn towards them, added, that he hoped that par alms which they could not have expected, would, in .Inure, produce sentiments more compatible with heir real interests, and that submission which sub j;...cts owe to their legitimate Sovereign ; that he %visited to believe .that all the functionaries and re spectable people would use their influence to props gate and support those sentiments among the people; and that the Ecclesiastics, in particular, would preach this dcctrine in their temples. The Governor concluded thus : " The preservation of this place is confided to me—l will answer for it ei the Emperor : I will justify the choice with which his M.ijesty has deigned to honour me : I will render ustice—exact justice to all the inhabitants who shall c refer well-founded compianits to me; but woe to se who shall contravene my orders—they shall be .rrested and punished with ail the rigour of military regulations." The assembly appeared to be penetrated with this . iisceurse ; it saw the determined intention of the Governor to maintain public tranquillity in the town, and all those present promised to neglect nothing, that the Governer might rind in the Hamburghers chat submission, without which there exists nu gua rantee against disorder and anarchy. COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 14. The Commission for Health has just published the . following Notice : " According to the accounts which we have been able to col iect, the Ports of Malta, Smyrna, Constantinode, Odessa, Car thagena, and all those in be Canary 1-landa, must be considered as mitered with the Plague; all the Turkish and Barbary Ports, those of tilt- Black Sea, those of Southern Spain, viz.

To-day was celebrated here in the most solemn manlier, the fete of the Emperor of the French. As a prelude to this fete, the French comedians gave, at dye o'clock yesterday, in the great Theatre, -a gra tuitous representation of two Comedies. Upon the conclusion of the play, about eight o'clock, a dis. charge of 101 pieces et cannon eneounced the fete. —The saute thing tool; place to-day at four in the morning. At nine o'clock, the King went with the Princes eis brothers, and the other Princes of the Royal Fa. ' rnily, to the palace Marcoini, to offer his Imperial Majesty their congratulations. A ..hart time i,fter, the Emperor held a levLe, after witkit, this Prince, iccornpanied by the King and the Pciaccs, went to tie meadow caiLd Oitrawiese, and reviewed a very :unsiJetable corps of his I.7uard, a b.ittalion of the S.lxon Guard, a iegintent et the 1)::chy of Berg, and a regiment of the Pt inc..: of Neufchatel's cavaky.— linnie&ately .titer, th , .! Ptilce of Neufchatel, accom pa:lied by all the Fi ench Generals and Officers of the Staff, as well as 11 . . e Officeis of the French Court, and Civil French Autlioriti,:s, returned to the palace of lirelil, which he inhabi From thence his Serene Ciighness went with the same suite to the Court Church, where he waited -the King's arrival. The King arrived shortly after, about two o'clock, and assisted at Tr Drum, which was sung amidst the dis charge of cannon. In order to afFord the troops in garrison in this place the means of taking part in this tete, wine and a double portion of meat had been distributed to them. —They ieeited the battalion of the Saxon Guard to dine se ith them ; those different troops dined toge tiler with the greatest harmony, the 'officers under tents, and the soldiers in the great alley of the new town. The Emperor's health was drank, an.idst a discharge of 101 pieces of artillery. At eight in the evening, the Emperor, accompa nied by the Prince of Neufchatel, went to the Palace, and dined in grand style with the King and Royal Family. The bands belonging to the chapel played during the dinner. After dinner, the King drank, to the sound of trumpets and discharge of can eon, to the health of his Majesty the Emperor, the Empress, and the King of Reuse. Alter dinner, the Emperor went with their Kajes ties, the Royal Family, the Prince of Neufchatel, and all the Cuurt, to the Queen's apartments, to view •the fire-works which had been prepared 'upon the, brie& on the Elbe. 'lnc Palace and all the town was illuminated.— rThere were a great number of dinners 'to celebrate this fete. The Duke of Susan!) had the diplomatic corps. All the Poles here' were invited by Baron Bignon, Envoy from France to Warsaw. The chiefs of the Saxon Colleges were with Baron de Serra, French Minister. Count Darn, Minister Secretary of State, had assembled ate French Authorities. The French and Saxon Generals dined with the General of Division Friant. Count Dumsnel, commanding the French troops in Saxony', gave a brilliant ball and a supper of 160 Foyers. In the hotel of Baron de Serra, was placed the Emperor's bust, in a place where it was surrounded with trees and flowers. Re freshments were distributed to the spectators. GO7TENBURGII HAIL. GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 24. We have received farther confirmation of the Aus trian Declaration. Some small affairs of outposts have taken place t but nothing of great consequence. Five hundred Bavarians are taken, and carried -into Berlin. ST. PETERSBURGii, AUGUST 10. The Italo-Spanish Legion in the Russian service, (which must not be confounded with the Spanish re giment of the Emperor Alexander, which is going from St. Petersburgh to Spain), is formed of deser ters, and is daily increasing, as many days there come in from sixty to eighty deserters, who are tired of the French service, to join it. Should Austria break out, the loyal Illyrians will assuredly follow this example. BERLIN, JULY c 7. The Prince Royal of Sweden arrived at this capi tal on the 24th instant, and alighted at the Royal Palace, where the Princes and Generals were in wait ing to receive him. On the next day, his Royal Highness paid a visit to the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family, and afterwards dined with Pance William of Prussia, brother to his Majesty. In the evening, he appeared at the Theatre, where the public received him with the greatest demonstra tions of joy. Yesterday, his Highness, accompanied by the two . Princes, Henry and William, and by a tinmernus suite of Swedish, Russian, English, and Ptussian Ge nerals, reviewed the troops, and caused them to per form several evolutions, at which he expressed his perfect satisfaction to the Commanders. He after wards returned to the Palace, where be gave a dinner of 60 covers, to which all the Generals were invited. FROM UoPER SILESIA, JULY 12. [Extract of a private Letter.] " The great number of Austrian troops cantoned on the frontiers or Bohemia, as well as their excellent appearance, gave me the highest satisfaction. There were six regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry, assembled at the interview of his Majesty the Em peror Alexander with his august Sisters at Opotschna. The infantry had arrived but a few days before from tl:e frontiers of Russia, where they had fanned part of the auxiliary corps which the Austrian Court had placed at the dipositii n of Napoleon in the war against Russia. The troops had received orders to pay the same military honours to the illustrious tra vellers, as are paid to the Imperial Family of Austria. On the 20th of June, the Emperor went to view the fortress of Josephstadt with much attention, the arse n 4 and the military w orkmen. On the 21st the fine regiment of Colloredo Islansfeld defiled in parade before his Majesty. It is the same regiment which, in 1799, fought at Novi, underhis Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine, who gave it a gratifica tion of one hundred ducats to he distributed among those who still survived. The Emperor likewise be stowed many benefactions on it ; every soldier re ceived double pay ; every individual decorated with the medal for merit, had 14 ducats ; those mho had served the term of two enrolments received twelve, and those of only one, had ten ducats. The eighth company of this regiment has a military band, formed of Bohemian subjects, which played in the presence of the august per s.nages, whilst four men performed Sclavonian, and six others Hungarian, dances. On the 22d, they inspected the fortress of Koenigsgratz, and were present at a grand mancetivre. 1.1 - 1 E 1-4,‘ , ENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1813. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Miii s, the Messenger, arrived at Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Office, with Dis- patches !rem Lord CATncatti. and Sir CIUARLFS STEWART, dated from the Head-quarters of the Allied Army, at Landech, August 16. These Dis patches, as might be expected, relate to matters of the greatest importance :--the Declaration on the part of the EMPEROR of Atsritta against the EM rgnott of the FRENCH ;--and the Alliance and arrangements concluded, or on the point of being so, between Austria and the AntigalliCan Confede racy, tor limiting and restraining the ambitious pro jects of France within some kind of bounds, and se curing to the Kingdoms and States of Europe the quiet en job merit of their respective possessions, on some basis niore solid than that of the mere will cf an unprincipled Usurper. One thing is remarkable. No battle had taken place bet:seen the opposing Armies up to the rate of these dispatches. To what is this to be ascribed ? Were the parti:s waiting till the absolute expiration' of the six days which were to follow the Armistice, and which would expire on the evening of the day on which Mr. Mixt..6 left Head-quarters ? Or are we to believe, that notwithstanding the Declaration of Austria negociations were still continued ? 'The latter is not impossible. It is NAPOLEON'S character to bully to thelast moment. We know that this was the case when the last hollow peace was concluded between France and this country. On that occasion the French Plenipotentiary swaggered to the very hour of concluding the Treaty, lamenting the aniseries which Britain would entail upon Europe, if she would not recede from the terms she had in sisted on, as his master would not concede a single point of what he had proposed as the basis of a solid peace. —On being plainly told Was 114 Master ;)3ight foUow Ms own inclinations, for that England had now pre sented her Bd/iota:urn, the Frenchman said, that if that was the case ? his instructions were to Open a scaled Id ler which he bad in his possession. The letter wa opened, and contained orders to close with the last terms proposed by the British Minister. It is therefore possible that negotiations may still be carrying on but if they are, NAPOLEON has yd much to concede; for the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA , when he first proposed an Armistice, pledged him. in the most solemn manner to the Allies, that Le woad consent to an Treaty, till BONAPARTE hr,d withdrawn his troops from Germany, within tile• boundary of the Rhine; and to this we may add, that his demands are not likely to be lowered by th. knowledge he has since obtained of the success tkt: has attended Lord WELLINGTON'S operations in ti Peninsula. If we may credit a report brought by the Nelsr, i packet, which brought the Messenger to Harwich. another skirmish took. place on the rill between the outposts of tl.e CnoviN PI:JNCT; and those of the French, in the neighbourhood of Berlin, which ter. minated in favour of the former, upwards of 504 Bavarians having been taken rri•oners.

NAP ARTE has kit Goci:litz, but in whJt direceon he has moved we know not. It is probable, however, that he may have advanced in the directicn t f Bra law, to retrieve Lis fortunes in that quattcr, for me are inclined to belizre tb: , t l is first treacherous at- tempt upon that place really failed. l'he Austri..c, Ministers at the Courts of the. Grand Duke. of Wurtz- burgh and Frankfort, have set out for Vienna. In this way, another intimation is given to tl.e French people of the Austrian war. BONAPARTE, with a div'sion of, his army, may have moved forward n adyance for a specific purpose, but all the intelligence in the French Papers conti- nues to indicate preparations for a retreat. The Staff and Commissariat of the Vrench Army has been moved horn Dresden to Leipsic. ' The Saxon Government has convoked a Dist to provide for the extraordinary expences of the times. —We cannot but feel far the unhappy condition of the inhabitants of Saxony—for what objects are they called upon to provide these extraordinary resources The traitor MARCOUNI—the Lalian renegado, who governs Saxony as Prime Minister, ought to make good these expences out of the riches which BoNis. PARTE has heaped upon him. We are nauseated with another article from Ham• burgh, in the French Pacers:--we have no doubt whatever that VON 110aENDORP will justity the Emperor's choice." The beast in human form, who cans himself Vim HOOENDORP, and who is now Military ,Governor of Hamburgh, is a Dutchman—a native of Rotterdam. Early in life he made the tour of the Dutch Settle. ments at and beyond the Cape of Good Hope, in a. military capacity. In these elegant seminaries he superadded, to the natural unfeeling disposition of a Dutchman, the more elegant accomplishments of a slave-driver ; and, during his residence at Cape Town, was distinguished by the commission of two or threc murders among the Hottentot soldiers. He became at length so obnoxious, that he was sent home, by order of the Dutch Governor, previous to the stiffen. der of the Cape to the British. He joined the French party on his return to Holland, and was by them retain. ed in employment, made an AidedeCamp to the unfor tunate King Louts, and, like the rest of the Members of the Legion of Honour, made Its way to that dignity by an open disregard of all the principles of honour: he was the first to ctnvey to the ear of the Great NAPO LEON, the expression of aversion and abhorrence which his brother had. frequently uttered against the Con- O neptal System—for services like these, Von HOOEN. DORP was made what he now is. He is the confiden tial friend of VANDAMME, the Military Governor of Holland. General MOREAU, since his arrival in Sweden, liak been invited to visit the Emperor ALEXANDER, at Prague. The Emperor's message was conveyed to . the veteran General by Colonel RAPatm, who acted as MOREAU'S Aide-de-Camp during the most brilliant part of his military career. This Officer passed through London about a twelvemonth slice, on his way from America to St. Petersburgh, where lie was received with the greatest marks of distinction, and immediately appointed to an important command in the Russian army, as m entioned in the STAR at the time. The flattering reception of Colonel RAPATEL on . the Continent, was the chiet, if not the only induce ment to General Mourato to quit his retirement in . America, and since his arrival in Europe he 1, un derstood to have concerted with the Crown Prince of SWEDEN a project for organizing all prisviers taken from the French into a separate corps d' Armee, to be called Moreau's Legion.—,He has declared, that no man shall be enlisted who does not consent to wear the white cockade, and to fight under the motto Pro Patria. It is Lis anxious desire also, th.it every Frenchman so enlisted shall be duly informed that his services are required for the deliverance of En, ropes and his native country in particular, from the despotism of the common Tyra* •
