FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, SZCOND BULL T IN OP THE COMBINED .411130 Of THE NORTH OF GERMANY. Head-quarters,Potsdam, Anna M.' The Prince Royal removed his bend-quarters to . this city last night. The army is.concentrating. - At-the expiration of unavailing negotiations en tered upon at Prague, the Armistice was denounced on the 10th by the Allies, so that hostilities may be renewed to-morrow. On the 11th, at one in the =baiting, Count Metternich delivered to the Count de klArbonrie, at Pragde, the Declaration of War by Austria against France. His fLoyal Highness has just addressed la the COM• bi WO Army, under his orders, the following Procla snation COMBINED ARMY OF THE NORTH CAP GERMANY. THE PRI3IER MAIL. GENZEMelati*O• TO THE ARMY. Stumm !—Called by the confidence of my King and of the Sovereigns his Allies, to lead you in the career which is about to open, I rely for the success of our arms on • the DIVINE protection, the justice of our cause, and on your valour and perseverance. Had it not been for the extraordinary concurrence of events which have given to the last twelve years a dreadful celebrity, you would not have ken assem bled fin the soil of Germany but your Sovereigns :have felt that Europe is a great family, and that nose of the States of, which it is composed can remain in -different to the evils imposed upon any,one of its members by a conquering Power. They are also convinced that when such a Power threatens to at tack and subjugate every miter, there ought to exist only one will among those nations that are determined to escape froth shame and slavery. From that moment you were called from the banks of the Wolga and the Don, from the shores of Britain, and the mountains of the North, to unite with the German warriors who defend the cause of Europe. This, then, is the moment when rivalry, national prejudices, and'antipathies, ought to disappear before the grand ob: s ect of the independence of nations. . The Emperor Napoleon cannot live in peace with Europe, unless Europe be. his slave. His presump. • tion carried 400,000 brave men 709 miles * from their Country: misfortunes against which he did not deign to, provide fell upon their heads, and 300,000 French men perished on the territory of a great empire, the Sovereign of which had made every effort to preserve peace with France. It was to be expected that this terrible disaster, the effect of Divine vengeance, would have inclined the Emperor of - France to a less murderous system; and that, instructed at last by the example of the North rind of Spain, he would have renounced the idea of • subjugating the Continent, and have consented to let the world be at peace s but this hope has been disap. pointed; and that.peace which all Governments de afly, and which every Government has proposed, has been relicted by the Emperor Napoleon. . • Soldiers It is to arms then we must have recourse to coosiner repose and independence. The same sen timents which guided the French in 1792, and which - prompted them to assemble, and to combat the ar . mies which entered their territory, ought now to ani . mate your valour against those who, after having in •vaded the land which gave you birth, still hold in chains your heethren, your. wives, and your children. Soldiers ! What a suable prospect is opened to you! The liberty of Europe, the. re-establishment of its .equilibrium, the end of that convulsive state which bas bad twenty years' duration : finally, the peace of Ydie world, will be the result of your efforts. Render . y urselves worthy, by your union, your disciplines and vur courage, of the high destiny which awakes you. cIuALES JEAN. from my Head-quarters at Oranjeuburg, August 1 5, 181 3. . . *THIRD BULLETIN OF THE COMBINED ARMY OF THE NORTS OF OF..ktMANY. .41Nua era, Charlottenburgh, August 18. The Prince Royal left Potsdam at three o'clock yesterday morning, and transferred his liead-quar. tern to this place. ' Repeated advices, have been received that the enemy's troops were assembling in force at Bayreuth and in the direction, of Trabbin, to make a push on Bet lin. His Royal Highness concentrated the com bined army between the capital and Spandau. Nearly 90,000 combatants have arrived. in that position since yesterday evening. Some corps have marched ten German miles in 36 hours. Lieutenant Baron de Winzingerode has made.a re connoisance on the right with 8 or 9000 cavalry. He pushed forward as far as Wittenberg and Juterbock, on the left Hank of the enemy, and made some priso ners, two of whom are Captains. The Bavarian Co . louel Count de Sessel has been taken with some ca valry. Lieutenant de Vins, of the regiment of Hus larb of Pomerania, attacked the enemy at Zesch, and took 52 men and 21 remount horses belonging to a regiment of Hesse Darmstadt cavalry. The enemy, as far as is yet kncuen, has not passed the frontier), except with reconnoitring parties. The French General of Division De Jomini, Chief of the Staff of the army commanded by the Prince of Mesinua, cam over on the iSeh to the Allier, and, passing through the army of General Blucher, proceeded to the Russian Head-quarters, He has confirmed the intelligence of the Emperor Napoleon's project to attack the army covering Berlin. General Blucher occupied Breslau on the 14th. COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 16. (From a French Paper.) The Governor of the Island of Bornholm having learned that the Captain of the Swedish brig Venta litet, which was cruising between Bornholm and Christiansoe, prevented the Danish ships from reach - ins the latter port, ordered the Cominandant of Cris tiansoe to demand an explanation on this subject from the Swedish Captain M. de Kronstadt, who replied, that he had orders to stop vessels between those two islands, and take the Danish ships. The Governor, to maintain communications so ne cessary with the fortresses of Christiansoe, gave direc tions for acting against the Swedish brig. In conse •quence of this, Captain-Lieutenant Wolf sailed on the 24 h of July from Christiansoe, with four gun-boats, when a cannonade took place between them and the Swedish brig. The Swedish Captain sent a boat with a flag of truce, to ask, if war had been declared between 4we • Upward,* of 3000 &UM Stange Ajiles, alto. L I P. den and Denmark ? The Lieutanant repThe4Ant Captain having declared that he would preient cam.: munication between Christiansoe and Bornholm, he had on his side received orders to re-establish it. The cannonade lasted for some time. The Swedish brig I and our gun-boats re-entered Christiansoe. THE EVENING STAR. -a LONDON. THURSDAY; SEPTEMBER 2, 1813. Fiat or LONDON. -410lidiy at the Stock &dams A variety of rumours have been in circulation since yesterday, said to be founded on letters from the oppo. site coasts one report stated the Armistice to be pro. longed, and another gave out that a dreadful battle had been fought. The latter rumour was founded upon the arrival from Paris of letters of the 28th, in Which it was stated, that the accession of Austria to the cause of the Allies, and the expulsion of the French armies from Spain, although not officially intimated to the Parisians, were events which were generally known, and had excited a considerable degree of per turbation. Rumours even of a dreadful defeat in the North were industriously circulated, and at length SAVARY, the Minister of Police, found it necessary to issue the following demi.official notice ; • " PARIS, AUGUST Sli s ISIS. " The EMPEROR was at Lowenberg on the 21st, He had completely beaten the Russians and Prussians. The Prince of the Mostcwa and General LAURISTON had particularly distinguished themselves in this affair• The enemy's troops had suffered much, particularly ,the corps of General Lallozam, composed of five divisions, The operations of the campaign were developing themselves with great rapidity, and much to our advantage. It was expected that our trcops would be in Berlin by the 23d. His Majesty was in the best health. The Prince of EEKMUtII. had reach ed Schwerin. “ P. S.—The enemy's loss is estimated at 17 or 18,000 men, of whom the Prince of the MosKwA alone made 2000 prisoners." Upon the above we have to remark, that so far as it announces a victory gained by the French, the statement must be false. The locality of this great achievement, in which 17 or 18,000 men were put /eon de combat, is not even mentioned, and we are left to guess at it. Our Readers will recollect, however, that on the 16th the head-quarters of the Allied Armies were at Landeck—now if BONAPARTE was at Lowenburg, which is not above thirty miles distant• on the 21st, it is possible that a battle may have been fought previous to that day, for we were already in. formed that the Allies were advancing at all points. We cannot believe that DAVOUST has advanced so far as Schwerin unopposed by some part of the CROWN PRINCE'S army. Schwerin is but a short distance from Rostock and Stralsund, and it might perhaps have entered into the trince of ECKMUHL'S views to surprise those places, during the absence of the Cnoww PRINCE in the vicinity of Berliq. The threat con tained in SAVARY'S Bulletin of a match to Berlin on the 23d, is idle in the extreme—there is no French army of competent force in that direction. The Second and Third Bulletins, issued by the I CROWN PRINCE, which will be found in our columns of to-day, are calculated to set our minds at rest on this subject. The former of these contains the Ad dress of the CROWN PRINCE to the armies under his command—it is, in our humble opinion, a master piece of political wisdotk and must go much farther in the estimation of all reasonable men in confirming their hopes of success to the cause of Europe from the exertions of the CROWN PRINCE, than any docu ment which he has yet published, or any step which he has taken— , . BONAPARTE cannot live in peace, unless Europe be his, Slave."` He has here touched the master-key which ought to animate every European against the common Ty rant. We do, indeed, most cordially agree with high, that the same spirit which dictated the resistance of Frenchmen against invasion in 1792, ought now to go forth with the warriors who are embodied against the great Disturber. Glorious, indeed, is the pro spect now before us—the liberty of Europe—the re establishment of its equilibrium—the end of that convulsive state which 'has had twenty years dura tionand, finally, the peace of the world ! May the sword never be sheathed until these ends are ac complished I It is now understood, that the CROWN PRINCE 01 SWEDEN IS to be Grand Commander and Directnr of the whole allied force ; and for the purposeof enahling him to comprehend and guide the whole war, he has moved his head-quarters from Stralsund to Berlin. Previous to this removal his Royal Highness, with his distinguished friend General MOREAU, reviewed the British regiments sent to garrison Stralsund, with whose appearance and discipline they expressed themselves highly satisfied. After the review, the CROWN PRINCE gave a grand dinner to the principal Officers, at which the health of Lord WELLINGTON, and the continuance of the glorious triumphs of the British arms in the Pe ninsula, was drank with the most enthusiastic applause, the CROWN PRINCE and General MonEAu expressing their ,confidence, that the British hero would yet achieve glories beyond those already won by him, and render services still more important to the cause of nations. It is affirmed with confidence by some that MOREAU will not take an Actual Command against the French, but merely aceomitany the OROWN rOANC; ara tripatefriend i and wig him with hit commeli. . • • CADIZ - MAIL. • A Otdiz Mad armed this morning. and although ' the dates of the intelligence brought by it are not re : gent, the details are, upon the whole, gratifying.-- The Cortes have voted -a pillar to be erected on. the Plains of Vittoria, in commemoration of Lord WEL -1•INCITON'll glorious services. We admire much the spirited remonstrance of the Spaniards against the reception of the Pope's Nuncio - into Portugal, and trust that the Regency will expel this pestilent mem ber of society with the same promptitude which marked the conduct of their Spanish allies. The Regency Gazette of the 22d July, contains a Decree, dated July 11, removing Don Pedro L• a. brador from the office of Secretary of State, and ap pointing Don A. C. Manuel ad interim to that station. The same Paper has another Decree, as follows ; ' • The General and Extraordinary Cortes, "wishing to transmit to the most distant posterity the merhory of the glorious Victory which the Allied Army gained, under the command of the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, on the 21st of last July, over the enemy, commanded by the intrusive King, -in the fields of Vittoria, have decreed as follows :•"" • Ist. When circumstances shall admit of it, there shall be erected, in the situation best calculated for that purpose in the fields of Vittoria, and in that manner whiclT Government shall consider most pro per, a Monument, which shall record to the latest I generations this memorable Battle. 4 2d. The Political, Chief, and Provincial Depu tations of Alava, shall charge themselves with the exe cution of this Monument.' ' :f 1 " CADIZ, JULY 13. " The Senor'Nuncio has already set out for 'fa vira, in Portugal, in a vessel provided by himself. " CADIZ, JULY 16. 44 A dispatch has arrived from General Elio, dated the 7th, announcing the liberty of Valencia. " On the 10th General Lord William Bentinck entered that capital, amidst the greatest applause, with all his army ; he adopted the most energetical measures to maintain order and to be able to success fully pursue the enemy. About 2000 Vandals re mained in Murviedro, and 800 in Pensicola. Suchet's head•quarters were in Alma de Chevirt." 1, CADIZ, JULY is. The proud and now humiliated Suchet is march ing towards Tortosa, and it appears that Hatispe, with another corpi, has taken another road, at the same time marching towards Linda. According to information likely to be correct, Clause! will have effected his junction with Suchet with a considerable corps, but the first, second, and third armies, the ex. peditionary army under Lord Bentinck, General Vil lacamra's corps, those of the celebrated Mina and D. Julian, which pursue Clause!, and various Anglo- ' Portuguese divisions which are on the Ebro—all those corps, whose numbers exceed 60,000 men, are suffi cient to more and more humble Suchet's pride. " It is thought that Catalonia is now about w be come the principal theatre cf the war ; to the rapid and favourable progress of which, the strong places in that country will offer considerable obstacles. Tor tosa, Tarragona, Lerida, Barcelona, Gerona, Hasta-1 rieu, Figueras, and Rosas; are the principal points of support to the enemy ; which, if they may in part de. lay the progress of the Allied Armies, will also wea ken the enemy's army, which will be obliged to leave strong garrisons in all those places, if they intend to defend them all. " On this head we observe, that individuals expa triated from Spain on account of being prejudicial to ' it, take refuge in Portugal : within half a league or a league of our frontiers, may they not be as preju dicial- as among us ? If the Portuguese Government spews its hospitality by admitting into -its kingdom those who differ with its ally, Spain—protecting them although only as fugitive individuals—we believe that we shall not be able to obtain all the object of expatriation, and that this must be extended to the Peninsula, and not to that of Spain alone. s , We likewise do not doubt that when the Portu guese Government is informed that there are certain persons who are permitted to reside in its States, they will nut with indifference view this hospitality." " CADIZ, AUGUST 2S. ig The anniversary of the famous battle of Arepels was yesterday celebrated at the English Ambassa dor's house, with all the rejoicing and enthusiasm which the recollection equally memorable as that of the route of a formidable French army, which caused not only the liberty of Madrid and Cadiz, but also that of a great part of the Peninsula, could produce, and Which was, as one may say, the foundation alone of that favourable state in which Spain now is." " JULY 24..—1 t appears that three expeditions are preparing for the Americans, one for Caraccas of more than 1000 men, another for Montevideo of about 3000, and the third for Lima of more than 1000. 46 We are assured that Monsieur Gravina, imme• diately on his arrival at Faro, is going to publish a Manifesto." Either Sir HENRY HAISORD Or DT. BAILLIE are in constant attendance on the KING; and Dr. HEBER, DEN, in consequence of his constant attendance on his MAJESTY, has taken a house at Datchett, where his family reside. The Messenger, &turn., was last night dispatched from the Foreign Office, for the Head-quarters of the Allies, in Germany. A Gentleman belonging to the Aust►i,;sn Mission accompanies him. Landeck, where the head-quarters of the Allies were on the 16th ultimo, is a small town of West Prussia, in the circle of Hawmerstein, 18 miles S. E. of New Stet tin. It is much nearenßreslaw and Schweid nitz than Lowenberg ; and the Allies, by occupying its vicinity, were in a condition, if they pleased, to op pose lionApAnTz's advance in that direction. _ . Lowcuborg, where SAVARY'S Bulletin states BORA• PARTE to have been on the 21st ult. is situated on the river Bobr, in the district of Sauer, in Silesia : it con tains only 2500 inhabitants, and is sometimes called Lemberg ; it is about twenty miles S.W. from Leig nitz, and is on the direct road to Breslaw and Schweid ritz ; in which direction it is probable that BONA PARTY would push forward, as their ►ecure occupation would give him great advantages a % th e eenw eviee . meat of the campaign. THE ARMY. The SRA? sloop of war has arrived at Plymouth, from St. Andero, in eleven days. By her we learn that Lord Witu.rturron had summoned the garrison of St. Sebastian's to surrender on the 19th August, which being refusod by the Governor. the bombard ment immediately commenced. The SNAP sailed on the 19th, so that they cannot speak to any results. Drafts, to the extent of nearly SOO men. from the Ist, Coldstream. and Sd Foot Guards, have been ordered to march immediately to Portsmouth, to em bark for the Peninsula. The two troop, of the 7th Hussars, which were left it Portsmouth, ere egpected to embark this dar for Mime. His Majesty's ship PIMIIROICS is appointed co , vo? at Portsmouth, for Spain. Portugal, and the The depots . of the 40th, 76th, and 84th regime -.. of Foot, and of the 19th Light Dragoons, are to Iv! removed from Ireland to England. In a previous Paper we stated the distressing intel ligenee, announced in one of our letters from the army in Spain, that Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas was much indisposed. His ill health, we understand, has obliged him to give up hii command, and be is coming home. To the-number of gallant Officers who have fallen in the defence of the Peninsula, we have , to add Captain Woon, of the 48th regiment. The memory of this enthusiastic and brave rung man will ever be revered by his brother Officers, among whom he merited the greatest esteem. Three times he had been'severely wounded at the head of his Company ; and in the late action of the Pyrennets he received a wound in the body, which in a few days proved fatal. So great has been the dismay among the French Generals, occasioned by the arrival ot MottrAn in Europe, that proclamations have actually been issued to the troops denying the fact, and two French sot• diers were shot for di inking his health. We think it highly probable that the desertion ot General JOIIJNI, alluded to in the CROWN PRINCE'S Bulletin, was occa sioned by the intelligence of Motteau's arrival. There are thousands of French Officers, if not private sol. diers, now in the field under BONAPARTN, who will speedily follow JOMINI I S example. .NifFifL INTELLIGENCE.
