BY THE AMBASSADOR FROM FIANCE. Vienna, April ill, 1813. The Ambassador of his Majesty the Emperor of the French had the honour of giving his Excellency Count Metternich, Mi nister of State for Foreign Affairs, a communication from the i dispatch of the Duke of Bassane, of the 11th April. This dis patch, in announcing that his Majesty the Emperor would pro- bably be at Mayence, where later intelligence states that he ar rived on the 16th, contains exactly the passages which the Un- 1 dersigned is going to place before your Excellency. His Ma. jesty told Prince Schwa:timbers; to whom 1 repeated it. Ai soon as I shall have arrived at my. first head-quarters in Ger many, I will send to Generel Ritmo; by a courier who shall pass through Prague, an order to denounce the Armistice; you ought therefore to itiform Count de Metternich of it, and un reservedly explain yourself to him on the subject, that you may positively assure yourself that my orders shall be executed without discussions. It will also be proper that M. de Metter nich should inform General Frintont, In order to prevent all postible misunderstandiug, the consequences of which might be very disagreeable. In another paragraph he says, " It is very probable that the order for denouncing the Armistice, shall be sent by his Ma jesty between the 4.. kl and 45th. It has become of the highest importance that General Frimont should be punctually inform ed of it." The understgned, in making known to kis Excellency the Count de Metternich, of his Majesty's intentions does not in the least doubt, that in the reply, he should receive a full and entire acluiescence in intentions so strictly conformable to the last Treaty at Paris. It is therefore with equal surprise as pain, that the day fol lowing this communication, he learned from the mouth eves of the Count de Metternich, that the auxiliary corps, under the orders of General Frintont, would not permit any hostility against the Russians, should not, In the event of its being in a condition, with any troops whatever, of thinking himself suffi ciently strung to attack it, and that without waiting the term of 15 days stipulated by the armistice, and consequently without knowing whether he should or should not be attacked, General Fri:nont put himself in full march to effect his retreat. The undersigned was the more inclined tobelieve that at least the term of 15 days would be cbserved, as when, on the 16th inst. his ExceUency Count de Metternich decided to give M. de Libzeltern orders to demand the revocation of the denunciation I of the armistice, which took place on the 12th, he had calculated that the reply directly conveyed to General Frimont, wield have reached him before be could have effected his movemesit, and that orders should be dispatched to him to that effect. It is easy to foresee that if this arrangement had been fulfilled, the orders of his Majesty the Emperorwf the French, which ought to have been expedited to Arfurth on the 20th, would have easily reached the Commandant of the auxiliary corps before theex piration of 15 days. The undersigned is therefore induced to believe, that those orders were net properly executed, as it Is all kinds of hostilities that Austria wishes to avoid. Undoubtedly his Majesty the Emperor of the Fiends will see with extreme satisfaction, the wishes of Austria fur peace fulfilled; and that she should use all her means and all her efforts to procure it to Europe; but he never understood, nor will he be able to understand, that this wish for peace should annul an existing treaty. This treaty sti pulates an auxiliary corps. This auxiliary corps must be under the orders of his Majesty the Emperor; if It is not obeyed, what has net a right to be inferred from it ? The undersigned, whose first instruction is to use every exer tion to maintain good understanding between the two Empires, on every occasion t) prove the sentiments which animates the Emperor his Master, for his Majesty the Linperur of Austria, helices.% that the best means for fulfilling so sacred a duty, is ta maintain to the utmost of his power the treaties sa happily sub sisting between their Majesties. He therefore appeals to that of Paris, to induce hisTecelleney Count de Metteruich to immediately give orders to General Frimont to preserve ° by all possible means the position* the Armistice designated him, and that he there shall wait the orders his Majesty the Emperor of the French may be pleased to send ro him.

The undersigned, 'Minister of State for Fottign Malts. has submitted to the Emperor the Note which the French Anahassa dtd bins the honour to address to him on the 2lst.inst. He has received orders to give lss Excellency the folinwing reply : '1 he Emperor has no.Jing more at Lean than the pres,rvation of the reiationsof ftendship and Emil underwataliiig of his Ma jesty the Emperor of the French. Hi. Imperial Majesty has given, in moments of the most grit ic.ll invent-Lance, too nutil proofs of his sri.timent, not to depend simply upon faels. . At the same time that Austria made formal overtures of peace to several Courts, distantly separa ed from each mho', that she would enter into conferences upon subjects perhaps thy most complicated that ever prei•trited themselves in policy ; the events of war, and military preparations did not on that accuuut daily receive its development. Immense armies were found in pre sencc of each other. The wi-hrs of Austria in favour of peace, fax Crom weakening the api.roach of a great and new crisis, only hove confirmed it in a tnnre decided Had :he Emperor only bait desired this peace, ti:e necessity of which is so universally felt, he would not have acted as lie h: s done. It is therefore with great satisfaction that h s Imperial Majesty is convinced, not only by the communication which his Excel leticy the Ambassador from hence has made, from the con tc:lts of the Duke of Eassano's dispa ches, but also by Prince 6,:hvvaitzeilhyrg's report, that by the developeinent of new tw.:ans, he has met the wishes of his 11,1ajesty the Emperor of the French. • The communication made by Count de Narbonne, in form t f a vernal note, of the 7/1 April, contaius what follows. After haviug placed in opposition with the pacific intentions of France, the appearance of sentiments very different ou the part of Russia, his Excellency the Ambassador says : " In this conjuncture Austria, who stands so prominently for ward for peace, and who so anxiously desires it, must take, to obtain this end, a determined char s, insist upon the imme diate opening of a negocia7ion, anerehter into the contest as a principal party. In the beginning of May, when the Emperor of the French shall be In person upon the right bank of the Elbe with 300,000 men, Austria should reinforce the army of Cracow, and carry it, wi:h Prince Pon!atowsky, to more than 150,000 men. 'those movements having place in April, the army con centrating itself should place itself in a defensive position, but in tead:ness to resume the offensive. A corps of 30 or 40,000 should be assembled in Bohemia, and on the day of the Emperor's arrival at the head of the army of the Mein upon the Elbe, the Austrian Minister should make his declaration to the Emperor Alexander; eke army of Cracow should denounce the Amis. tio,, and the troops from Bohemia march Irmo their entrench. ments, &c. '1 be military means of Austria should be raised to 1(0,000 men, for the army of Silesia, from 30 to 50,000 men, for that of Cracow, the remainder remain at the disposition of France, in the Bukowine and Gaiacia." In reply to the overtures offered in this communication, his Imperial Majesty directed his Ambassador at the Imperial Court of France to be furnished with orders, dated the 14th Apnl, which the undersigned has bad the honour of communicating to his Excellency the Arnbasuulor. This reply from his Majesty, in substance, stated, that his Imperial Majesty and Apostolic King had dec idedl upon taking the attitude of swarmed mediation, as the only one that the two Imperial Courts found to be consistent with the actual position 'or things : that nevertheless his Imperial Majes:y would declare at the same time, that if, contrary to his, dearest wishes, the return of peace should not crown his wishes, Austria, In conse quence of her attitude as a mediating power, and of the geogra phial situation of her Empire, could not henceforth take part In the war in the qualify of a power simply auxiliary ; and that, wwwiqaently, the stipulations of the succours limited by the alliance of :he 14th March, 1812, would cease being aprolitable to the present conjuncture. Although the Emperor was far from believing that this deter *nation, brought about as muds by the twee of circupistnices 'as the views and wMies of his Mhjesty the Emperor Napoleon, .could be censWertd as an abandonment of the anis*, orthe two Imperial Come, his Loper:al Majesty has, tsrirerthelies, • &Med his Ambassador to add to that Declaration, that that step would in nothing prejudge the basis of our 41:lance with Prnce. 'ihe simple recital.of those transactions would be sufficient to completely reply to the Note of the French Ambassader, if the Emperor did not believe it proper to point out that this Note was addressed to the undersigned after the denuaciatlon of the Armistice by the Ru.sians had completely changed the order of things. presumed by his Majesty the Emperor of the French to still exist in the Duchy of Warsaw. The Emperor Frineis, before having reason fur believing, from the movements of the Russian corps, that their intention was to dislodge the Austrian corps from the circle it occupied in the Duchy of Warsaw, had,ll an ordei, with which the Court of France was acquainted, prohibited Llentenatit-General De Frimont from engaging in 'fairs that might compreinise his corps d'artnelr. The motive for his determination were amply detailed in the dispatch to the Prince Schwartsenberg, dated the 14th March. The undersigned tan only refer, elk this head, to its contents. If, however, the Armistice had not been denounced on the part of the Russian General, the Emperor would nor, on his part, have hesitated to make representations'agalnst a denuncia• don on his side. Tbat measure, in fine; could only be regarded under two points of view—as the means of wa► or negotiation. 'The Emperor is convinced, that it does not belong to the media ting Power to be the first in opening the campaign ; as a means of peace, the Emperor is not less convinced that it is not with 10,000 men he can support his mediation, and that the most efficacious means of negotiation are found, of which his Ma jesty the Emperor of the French has expressed a persuasion, in the developement of more imposing forces, all directed to one only and singe end—Peace; in a developement which should leave no doubt that the mediating Power would be ready, in the even; of not succeeding, to appear upon the scene as a prin cipal party, and to give to her pacific interference the necessary support. 'lle undersigned, in transmitting to Count de Narbonne the present reply, Is expressly charged to reiterate to bis Excell.fncy the assurances which he verbally received in the last audience from the Emperor, of the unchangeableness of the sentiment. which his Imperial Majesty bears to his August Muter. The Minister of State and Foreign Affairs has the honour to present to the Ambassador the assurance of his high considera tion. (Signed) MITTLINICU. AMERICAN PAPERS.

Yesterd ty morning the enemy ap p,at,xl in front of the town, with the met stoops talc= from us, and one row galley. They came up in a line within -about a mile and a half of the shpre, when a firing commenced from our batteries and gun boats, which was returned by the enemy, and con titittud for about half an hour. Between 50 and 60 shuts were exchanged ; .15 or 20 came from the Bri tish, one of which passed through a house in the vil lage, which was all the damage done by them. One of our shots was supposed to strike the row-galley, and another one of their sloops. Immediately a ftero shot reached them, they hauled off several miles south of the town, where the two sloops were be calmed till nearly sun-set ; duritag this time the , enemy's row-galley went into Shelburn lsay, which you will recollect is three or four miles south of Bur lington, and mostly in plain sight, where we saw her take possession of a sloop and a large two,masted boat, belonging to some of our citizens ; and two of their batteaux, armed with a swivel and 25 men each, went to Cli trlotte, ten miles south of this, and took two large sloops, one belonging to Vergennes, and the other to Burlington—the latter containing eighty barrels of flour, intended for our army. 46 About an hour before son -set, our flotilla, con sisting of the sloop President, of 10 guns; two Un finished sloops, called the Montgomery and Commo dore Preble, the first carrying 10 guns, the latter having only six mounted ; two gun-boats and four scows, armed with a 12-pounder each, made off to wards the enemy's vessels, which soon after fired signal guns, and which are said to have been answered from the north. " This circumstance, or tome other unknown to nie, induced our Commodore, after having proceeded nearly two miles, to return to his former position, under the guns of the battery. This morning the Bri tish vessels are to bt seen several miles north of the town. This was certainly a very bold enterprize in the Biitish, and it ought to have proved a hazardous one. It was provoking to every one to see them take off our vessels, without the least molestation; but I am convinced that no blame ought to be attached to the Commodore. lam informed he stated to some of his friends that he had no chance of success. It is understood that the Government had not furnished him with experienced officers or seamen for any ves sel except his own ; that his officers were chiefly young midshipmen, who had seen no service. " It seems that the enemy divided their forces when they left Plattsburgh. A part of . then* went to Swanton, and a part to Champlain, and burnt the barracks, block-houses, &c. and carried off the public property at both those places, without opposition. AFTERNOON.--We have just learnt that the Bri tish have sent out a reinforcement, which left the lines yesterday morning. If this be true, and it probably is, we may have another visit from them to-night or te . -morrow. Various turnouts are in circulation, some of which say, that the enemy have met their rein forcements, and are on their return to thie place; others say that a large army is also; approaching. What credit should be attached to these reports I know not, but 1 expect warm work here. I have been told by some ot. the officeis that the Governor, who has been here for several days, has just issued orders for two brigades of the militia to hold them selves in readiness to march at a moment's warning. " EVENING.—Tbe post has just arrived from Platts burgh. He states, that the British committed no out rages there, and destroyed no private property, ex cept a store which was burnt, supposing it to be pub lic property. They paid for their refreshments. The post saw the vessels which had been here north of Plattsburgh, Gout three o'clock this afternoon, ac companied by trir prizes. It i s supposed they will guard them do a and return."

HURRICANE OF TILE 23D OF Jut.v.—The weather, !for the few days preceding the 2:3d instant, tcds Apt very remarkable, except - being rather calm, with an extreme degree of consequent heat. Ou Satuiday, the 17th, a very heayy r.tin had fallen, accompanied by as much thunder and lightning as was supposed sufficient to clear the air, and for a time at least to check any accumulation of any vapours likely to bs destructive or hlutiotts. Through the night of the 22d, it was showery, and the wind early in the evening far to the northward. Soon after day-light of the Od, the lowering sky and the rapidly flying scud over the hills and the in announced the approach of a violent storm; and pro videntially was it, that the dreailful blow was not struck in the dead of the night, for had it so hap, pened, to what more aggravated iltngers and hor rors would not the sleeping inhabitants have been awakened Tht: King's garrison at Morne Bruce, composed of the Royal West-India Rangers and a detachment of the 4th West-lndia Regiment, from the elevation of the ground upon which the buildings stand, were assailed early and violently ; and the barracks and other quarters began to yield to the tempest about seven o'clock ; they continued falling until between eight and nine o'clock. The hospital, which had then above fifty sick patients, the officers' mess room. and every other building, except one officer's quar ters, were eompietely blown down, and by fragments scattered through the air, covering the tops and sides of the bill. The losses sustained by the officers, non commissioned officers, and privates, must be very considerable, as the gusts were so sudden and heavy, and-the place so exposed, that nothing could be saved. The loss of his Majesty's Government must be immense, as these buildings cost a considerable sum in their erection a few years ago. We lament I to say, , too, that the pgmber of killed a;4 wounded is not inconsiderable—six being the number of the former, and fif , y-three of the latter; and eight Saki, ing, supposed to be blown over the cliffs. Among the officers wounded are Major Brerton, by a severe contusion hi the leg ; Major Jack and Dr. Leahy, much cut and bruised; Mrs. Alen, wife of Lieute nant Allen, of the 4th West-India Regiment, recei ved some very severe bruises. From Prince Rupert's Head, the accounts are also distressing. The commencement of the gale was about six in the morning, from northward, and its extreme violence was not felt until between nine and ten„ when the buildings began to givp way ; the ' barracks of Fort Shirley unroofed; the house called Government House, and the Octagon, the same. On the other cabrit, the quarters of the Commanding Officer (M•ijor Eden, who was con fi ned by gout) were about one-half destroyed ; himself unable to move, bnt luckily not wounded. Two ranges of officers' rooms were blown over the hill : in these latter buildings were Lieutenant *Clean, of the 4th %Vest India regiment; Assistant-;:urgeon , 4 King and Donaldson, and a female, wean unfortunately went down the adjoining precipice : Mr. Donaldson was kiled outright; the others,althot:gh miserably bruiSe4 and mangled, miraculously escaped with life. Three privates of the 60th were killed, tour others wounded, The fort and garrison of Cachacrow have alto suf fered severely, every building being thrown down.—.- Lieutenant Pilkington, of the 4th West India tie : ment, was stationed there, with a detachment of the Royal West. India Rangers, and is not hurt; but his servant was severely wounded : the rest escap-W with out injury. The devastation of Roseau, ana of Char lotte Vile, are of the most afflicting kind ; several persons have perished, and a great number have been wounded and bruised. The amount oflosses sustained by the proprietors of buildings which have fallen, and those falling, qr otherwise much injured, must be yecr great indeed. It is impossible to calculate those losses, or to enumerate all the individuals, as we have not been furnished, with, nor can, we procure the details. The destruction of furniture, bedding, plate, li quors, china, glass-ware, books, goods, and merchan dize of all sorts, must be extremely heavy, the storm being so very rapid in its advance, as to preclude all precautionary measures of safety for any thing. The public buildings have experienced their full share of this calamity; the King's-house, and erec tions at King's-hill, used as the Quarter Waster Ge neral's quarters, levelled with the ground ; the Go vernment-house, with the out-buildings, and all the other offices, plpstrate ; scarce a tree of any descrip tion left standing in the ground. The loss to his Ex cellency, in wines, books, and furniture, must be se vere, as there was little time, as before observed, to remove any thing ; his Excellency, when the house fell in, repaired with his Secretary, Mr. Bryce, and Mrs. Bruce and children, to the fort in town, where they were sheltered. The Court-house is levelled, as arc also the custom-house aid Post-office; the cow. missary's Stores completely destroyed • the Gaol un rooted ; the Roman Catholic and Methodist Chapels destroyed is tote, and the Abbe Canavan's house un roofed. Indeed, scarcely a stable, kitchen, or out house, paling, or fence, remains attached to any build ings in any part of the town or country. The Grind kiay Quarter, it is supposed ) gas suffered most 1 but I I",‘
