We are not prepased to say ttiat a verbal copy or the Austrian declaration has reached town, but sisters are fully aware of its contents ; and we heist to state r.nother most important fact which has come to our knowledge respecting Austria. It would seem coif a Treaty of Amity between Greet Britain and that power was in a state of great forwardness, if not actually concluded. Four bills, of €25,000 each, drawn from Vienna upon London, were paid on "Sa: turday, by orders from theTreasur7—a subsidy, of course, has been stipulated for ly Austria t and most sincerely do we give our Country joy, that another bppcirtunity has thus been afforded, of evincing the still preponderating influence of Great Britain in the affairs of Europe. tift believe that but oif* sentiment on this subject prevails in the monied market, for it is now some months /kV/ s.lipplket:e*.;....sale there by Mini liters to learn what pecuniary reentrees they might Salt% ly premise in Austria. The answer receivtd, while it gave an additional proof of undiminished confidence in the great cause of Europkreflected additional ho nour on the British character, and we have reason to. believe that the basis of a loan to Austria was at that moment formed. The circumstance to which we have just alluded took place immediately upon the return of Lord WALPOLE from Vienna in April list. By all accounts from the Continent, w are esti' lied in learning, that the noble spirit evinced by . the Emperot of is seconded by the wishes of his whole people, and that I.is armies are to be com manded by Officers of the old or Antegallivan School. The same of the Archduke CHARIAS is mentioned as about to be employed. On the side of Prussia, the spirit of both the Sovereign and his people is also up arms. The former has given full effect to the edict for calling out the levdres•siane. and the devo. eon and enthusiasm of his subjects have never been surpassed. Bet our hopes of 'success to the common cause ate ' not confined to 'What may be expected from the ser vices of the armed population of Europe. The Sore• reigns of Austria and Pnessia have each a personal reckoning to settle with their former Conqueror ; and that man knows little of human nature, who does not take into account the spirit of vengeance which lurks in the =lnd of an individual, *lm has been degraded, instated, and humiliated, like the Emperor of Atm 1111a and the King of PRUSSIA.

He (pled me villain broke my patentees, Hided off my beard and threw itin my fut.— He tweak'd my nose, and gave me the lie rtle woe As deep as to the Isop Oh 'vessels* Ye: wisest Some additional German Papers have reached es since Saturday. They state a fact of considerable importance as to the dispositions of the Saxons—Ge neral THIILMAN and Colonel Aura% two Saxon Officers of great eminence, have been formally sum moned to abandon the service of Russia, and join the Salon army uuder BONAPARTS. These brave men )rave, in fact, deserted S but they have under their command a large body of their countrymen, who are, like thernserdes, ashamed of :erring the 14 pigeon livered creature," whom BONAPAATZ calls ging of Saxony/ The first military operations of the Allies, (if we may judge from the positions occupied by their ar. mies,) will consist of an irruption into Bavaria and the Italian Stater, on the part of the Austrian army. For this BOttAPARTZ has been long prepared, and 3CAUITARNOIS, his nephew,has removed his head-quar ters to Udina, in the Venetian territory, and at the foot of the Tyrolese mountains. Beaux/taxon, it will be recollected, commands the Army of Observa tion of Italy. Ls the mean time the Caown Pauses of Sweden will find ample employment for DAVOMY and Ottnrsor in the line of the Elbe, and the allied Prussian and Russian armies will once more press forward towards the Rhine. The fortresses on that river are being put into the best possible state of de fence; according to the French Papers—a circum stance which indicates a dread on the part of Bo bIAPARTE that a retreat may be necessary. Dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON were received yesterday at Lord BATHURST'S Office, dated at Lezaca, on the 18th instant, but they detail no ope rations of importance. The sieges of Pamplona and St. Sebastian's were prosecuted with redoubled vigour. General Sir THOMAS GRAHAM, who com mands at the hitter place, has his head-quarters at Ayerzun in the neighbourhood. The squadron under Sir GEORGE Coumut closely blockades St. Sebas tian's by sea, and on the 19th, as the packet was leaving the bay of Passages, a dreadful cannonade was heard in that direction. The heavy ordnance which recently left this country, was expected to open about the 20th.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. " CAMP. PYRENEES. AUGUST 18. a -Here we are encamped, partly in Spain, partly in France. Our regiment is, howeeer, weak, and many others are so. We get up b great ninny the hospital, but we have got no draft from hense. Unless more troops be sent otit, it will be impossible to proceed, expecting the same current of sotto_ which has hitherto followed our steps. 44 The nalbe of our great General is in limit At arm?. it Is a terror to ottr enemies, and_ a wonder with ourselves. Such is the - confidence we have hi him, that I really believe the men are fully persuaded that nothing is itnpossible with him in a military `point of view. After the manner in which oar hand- Ail of ?nen the other day dreve 7000 of the French from the strongest ground—real precipicaerl ans sure that they would not fear to auoosater any odds. “ We are all grieved to law the dye 'llarquir's great stay, that fine old Her% Sir TllOBdAB PEGIOIn is very ill. After the Marquis and Sir T..Gassuse 'he is ettr greatest leader, and we can afford to ,lose such, 14 The PRINCE of ALES% Birthday was celebrated in great stile, on the frontiers of France. The diffe rent British Generals and other Officers, gave din ners and balls to the Spanish and Portuguese, and there was much gaiety as well as festivity. At Headquarters the Mars hal gave a most magnificent fete to the principal Spanish Generals and„Grandees, and the two bands of the Fuzileers and Rifle Corps attended. 44 Of late, the enemy have had their troops fre quently in motion in our front; and the deserters said' that it was Souvr's intention to make an attack on us, and attempt to force the passes and our line on BONAPARTE'S birth-day (the 15th.) They have been assiduously collecting every thing—all the garrisons from the interior. We know that they have got a body of troops from Paris and from Boulogne ; but after the two fine licking: which we have lately given them, SOULT will find it difficult to make them come on : in this, all the deserters agree. •, It is known that the Flinch soldiers sham sickness, and have wounded themselves, in order to avoid going any more into Spain, as mast of them are sick of it; and, to tell you truth, we are not enamoured of the country, though we will not refuse to fight in that or in any country. •• A great many changes have of late been made by the Regency in the Generals in command of the different Spanish armies : we hope that these changes may be for the better, but every one seems to regret that old CASTANGI should be removed : he has been always considered a Man of principle and honour, has always Implieitly obeyed the orders of the Mar quis, and has been, from the beginning, the steady friend of the English. It is the conviction of every military Man who has seen any of the Spanish armies, that nothing short of an entire change of the corps of Officers will ever make them an army. " Lord WELLINGTON has done much 'with them ; he has got The Spanish soldiers pay with some regu larity, he has put a strip to some horrible frauds, bet until he officers the whole properly, little can be done, Officered as the Portuguese army is, there is no demist but that the Spanish would in time be superior to them ;at present the Portuguese soldier looks with contempt on the Spanish, and well he may. " We are distracted with the various accounts from England and from the front t but all of them breathe peace : it was at one time whispered that we had an armistice here. Much' civility passes between the enemy's outposts and ours, and also betwixt the flags of truce which pass between us. The French Offi cers do not conceal their extreme anxiety fdt peaces They, one and all, confess their surprize and ad miration of the- gallantry of the army, and of the great ability of Lord Vfewenton, whom they allow to be superior to all the French Marshals, and all express a wish that he and their Emperor may meet its the field. They now express respect likewise for the Portuguese, whom they say we have made soldiers; but are uniform in their expressions of de testation of the Spaniards, the Carakkas, as they call them." His Royal Highness the PRISM Ranieri.. Lord YARMOUTH, and Colonel Tamuraor, left Carlton House yesterday afternoon for Windsor, to take leave of the Royal Party there, on his route to the splendid •illa of the Marquis of Haarroan, at Ragley, War wickshire.

His MAJESTY listened throughout with eager but composed attention, and expresseithe highest pleasure atthose farts of the recitals which narrated the tri umphs of freedotn in Germany.
