I FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. MS I • FROM THE DUTCH AND HAMBURGH PA* 111& • :rr PARIS, AUGU:iT S. • •• The official Journal contains the following article : —" The Pubficiste of the `2oth July asserts; on the authority of Foreign Jouinals, that the Austrian, troops were to evacuate Trieste and Mime, and that both these' places were to be o cc upied by the troops , of a great Power. This intelligence is fake, and I owes its origin to disaffected persons, who wish to create disturbance, to exasperate a ;Teat Power, and to impel her to her own ruin, by inducing her to adopt a perverse system of policy. The- French Journals ought to be more circumspect, and not circulate any absurd and rid.culnus rumours merely on the autho sky of foreign papers. " The Journal de l'Entlire says, that the Archchan cellor was to proceed to Germany to organize the troops of the Confederacy of the Rhine, thus involv ing the French Government in a misunderstanding with the Allied States. Justice requires us w remark,l that-this Journal says the intelligence was.circulated in Germany ; but persons of judgment will observe, that reports translated from Foreign Animals into the French papers acquire greater credit, and that the only object of such reports must be to excite envy and hatred against France. " Other Journals state, that there are affairs of • great importance in discussion between the Courts of Vienna and Paris.- This is false. We have nothing to settle with the Court of Vienna. If that Court is well directed, it will apply itself to heal its wounds, to recruit its finances by wise measures; and it must be sensible that a levy-enmasse is always destructive to a Government, and particularly to a Government which his nothing but a paper currency. • " It is reported, that American vessels laden with Colonial produce, have entered the Austrian ports. amder convoy of some English frigates. This is true, for, tinder all circumstances, smugglers have found means to frustrate the vigilance of the Constituted Authorities ; but the Court of Vienna has taken men-1 sures to put an end to this violation of the laws, and to carry into complete execution the regulations which itself established on the breaking off of all commer cial intercourse with •England. " Other Journals talk of.the expeditions which the English have sent to Sweden, consisting of 20;000 men, who' were to be landed there in the month of April. The season is now drawing to a close, and they have net yet thought of disembarking them.— The truth is, that General Moore has 8000 men, half English, half Germans, who have been for a month lying off Malmoe. During this period the Swedish frontiers have been attacked by the Danish army in. Norway, and the Swedish troops have - been every where (Pleated. Finland has been taken from them by the Russians, who, whatever mar havebeen said, have not for a moment ceased to obtain the most bril liant advantages. " Most certainly it is not 8000 men that the Eng lish ought to send to support their ally. It ought to have been 50,000 men, provided they had them to send. But in short the 8000 men have been landed in Norway ; they have joined the Swedish expedition which attempted a landing at Abo, and were com hletely defeated by the Russians, or perhaps th ey ave been lauded in the North of Finlaud. • 66 It is unprecedented, that the army of an ally should remain two months upon a coast without dis embarking, and wait the result of a campaign : such things happen to the En*lish, and could happen to nr,n c but them. The Jounuel h ?Empire of the 20th July says, that the Pacha of Widdm has had an engagement With the Grand Vizier,, and that from 3 to 4090 men trete killed on both sides, and that the latter was de feated. How can men repeat such idle.stortes? It is in vain for the Journalist to say that he has copied this from the Bayreuth paper, a paper of no credit, which has for several years been conducted at the pleasure of the agents of England, and edited by men destitute of knowledge, understanding and mo vality.,--The Grand Vizier has not left Adrianople: the Pacha of Widdin consequently never was in a situa, don to have an engagement with him, nor, have they bad any misunderstanding. a -The Ba.yraml Courant, however,. is hencefort . suppressed ; it is a lying trumpet, which shall no longer excite disturbance on the Continent. It is to be wished that the j ournalists may take warning from this salutary examp le. .The mercantile dashes, the peaceful citizens, and the upright tradesmen, are en titled to demand justice against that band of in triguers, who are disposed to pervert truth, and al- ways to promote distnrbance."

When the Spanish troops in Jutland took the oath, their en. thusiasm was universal. The regiments of the King, of Zamora, of Algarva and of the Infanta, under the command of General Kindelan, displayed the greatest attachment to their new Sovereign. The soldiers brought back their General to. their quarters, and chose to carry him round in triumph. Funen, after the ceremony of taking the oaths, ~the.

GOTITNBURGH MAILS. CrOTTENBURGH t AUGUST 12.—We have no news here ; but various reports by letters, Which sometimes reach us from the - Baltic, of the preparations of Au stria for war with France, &c. &c. The following extract of a letter, dated Ronigs burg,. July.2!N from a highly respectable Correspon dent, we believe contains a correct account of the state of atfairs : " Austria, it was believed, was preparing for war, anti Goo knows what may happen, though certainly, not only from the situation of things, but the temper of the people, little good is to be expected from it, and in the general opinion it is more desirable she should continue quiet. 44 Russia continues firm to her principles ; a consi derable army was said to be drawing together on the confines of this country towards Georgenburgh, though there is not the most distant idea of being brought into activity, least of all tiir the delivery of this country. Prussia is so much reduced, that it can make no resistance, happen what will ; and even were its resources greater, the necessary impulse would be wanting. The Danes do not shcw themselves more your enemies than ours ; every Prussian ship that has fallen into their hands, whe , her in ballast or loaded, has been condemned, and, where pretences are want ing, they have alledged them in affirming the ships to be English, in defiance of all proofs, by which the country has suffered incredibly, and for many years longer than we can hope to live, its effects will con tinue to be visible."

An event produced as well by the honour, patriotism, and talents of its distinguished chief, as by the assist ance and protection which I war directed by their Lordship? ordors to afford it. If the weather proves moderate, I hope to disern. bark the greater past on the Island of Langeland this day, where we have already a post of 2500 men, (Signed) • R. G.

Ws Excellency the Marquis de la RomA.NA, .and nearly 6000 of the Spanish troops under his command, u-ue embarked this morning at Nyberg, which place he took possession of on the 9th. By a combination' of the same plan, Thomism 1000 have joined us this morning, by sea, from Jut land, and another thousand are thrown into Lange. land, id streflgthen the post held by the Spanish for ces in that island, where it is proposed to land the remainder the moment circumstances of weather will permit cf our moving. The arrival of the Spanish Officer in the Edgar, on the sth, of whose spirited escape to the squadron you were informed by Cap tain GaAvas, greatly facilitated our means of Giza munication. • No doubt could be entertained of the honour and patriotism of soldiers, who, indignant at the piloposal of deserting their allegiar.ee, though surrounded by hostile battalions, planted their solvers in the• centre of the circle they formed, and swore on their knees to be faithful to their country. All were equally antehus of returning to it. But one regiment in Jut. land was too distant and too cr::ically situated to effect its escape ;. and two in Zealand, after having fired on the French General nustos, who tom mantled them, and killed one of his Aid-de-Camps, have been disarmed. Sonic untoward circumstances having occasioned suspicion, and made a premature execution ot the plan necessary, the wind and current being adverse, I left the Superb on the Bth, and went in my birge to the Brunswick off Nyborg i and two hours after my flag was hoisted. On the 9th the General took pos session of the town. Although the Danish garrison yielded to circurn stances, an armed brig of 18 guns, the Patna, and a cutter, the Salorman, of 12 , moo r ed across the harbournrar the town, rejected all remonstrance on the pait' of the Danes, and every offer of security made by the .General and myself. The reduction of these vessels being absolutely necessary, and the Spa nish General unwilling to act hostilely against Den mark, such small vessels and boats as could be col lected were put under the command of Captain •M‘NAmAna, of the Edgar, who attacked and took them. On this oecasion I have to lament the less of Lieutenant HARVEY, an officer of much merit, of the Seperb, and two seamen wounded ; the enemy had seven killed, and thirteen wounded. I should have noticed that the Spaniards, irritated at the opposition their friends who came to their sup port met with, departed in some measure from the General's intention, and fired some shot at them be fore they struck. Expedition being deemed of the greatest impor tance, I shifted my flag to the Homed in the harbour; and as neither of the three ships of the line, from cir cumstances of the weather, could be brought near in. 57 sloops or dogiers, found in the port, wise fitted by the seamen, into which great part of the artillery, ,baggage, and stores were embarked that night and the following day, ilbd removed - to the point of Sl) p share. four miles from Nyborg.
