FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM DUTCH PATERS TO THE 224 INSTANT, PARIS, OCTOBER 27. The arrival here of Count Von Rornanzow is an nounced. It is thought that his Excellency will await the answer of England in this capital. OSTEND, OCTOBER 26. People are extremely anxious about the result of the fist overtures towards conciliation, which the two Emperors of France and Russia have made to Eng land : and it is wished that they may procure us a general peace. It is certain that the two couriers from Erfurth to London took ship at Boulogne, for Eng land, on the 20th ; and it is even asserted that they have both returned to Calais from their mission to the English Government. However this may be, these accounts have here, as well as at Antwerp, and other ports of the Empire, caused a very great sensa tion, and have produced a remarkable fall in the price of colonial produce, and a rise of the public funds. HAGUE, NOVEMBER 1. The French privateer the Grand Duke of Berg has captured off the Isle of Wight, and carried into Havre an English vessel called the Betsey, laden with fish and oil, from Newfoundland, and bound to Poole. —According to letters from Trieste, twenty ships had arrived at that port and Fiume with the proctuce of the Levant, and are to be followed by others, ST. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER 8. The Court Gazette of the sth and Bth contains very full details with respect to the last victorious opera tions of our troops in Finland, under the command of General Buxhovden, After uncommonly bloody battles, the Swedes were driven out of Wasa, and Old and New Carleby, and the whole province of Wasa has been subjected to the Russian Government. The army of Field - Marshal Klingspor, which consisted of 16,000 regulars, and many Armed boors, has been diminished to 9000. By sea the Russians, under Ad miral Masdejedow, have acquired new laurels, VIENNA, OCTOpER 15. His Imperial Highness, the Archduke Charles, the day before yesterday, set out for Presburg, to join his Majesty the Emperor. The report that his Majesty will have an interview in Gallicia with the Russian Monarch is now become doubtful. The report of an armistice between the Porte and Russia is not con firmed, and our Court Courant is silent about it. BERLIN. OCTOBER 20. This morning, Prince William of Prussia, whose arrival here from Erfurth communicated great satis faction, set out on bis return to Koningsberg, LEIPSIC, OCTOBER 17. This mars:ling, at half past six o'clock, the Emperor of Russia and his suite arrived here. He was received by the French and Saxon troops, and the horse-zuard of the merchants of this city. His Majesty breakfasted at the Prussian Hotel, whence, after receiving the Deputies of the town, he departed at ten o'clock, amidst a general cry of— ,, Long live the Emperor !" He was escorted by a detachment of French and Saxon cavalry, and also by a detachment of the Mercantile Guard of Honour. Yesterday the Grand Duke Constantine, Baron Von Vincent, and the Prussian Envoy Von Goltz, passed through this city. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 14. Marshal Soult's corps has broken up. A great part is to march towards France. No part of the Grand Army will remain in Germany, except the corps of the Prince of Ponte Corvo, on the coast of the Baltic, and that of Marshal Davmust, which is to occupy , the principalities of Fulden, Bayreuth, the country of Hannan, Erfurth, &K. We know not yet whether Prussia is to be entirely evacuated. OCTOBER 13.—We are assured that the French troops in Germany will take the na. - pe of the Army of the Rhine, and that Marshal Davoust (Duke of Auerstadt) is appointed General in Chief of this army. It is added, that he will have the grenadiers of General Oudinot under his orders. NUREMBERG, OCTOBER 19. The Gazette of this town states, according to letters from Nissa, that a great personage had arrived there from Constantinople, charged w►th a message from the Sultan Mahomet to Czern► Georges. It is added, that Caerni was requested to go ►n person to Nissa but it is not known whether he - had consented. Other letters state, that a number of Turkish and Russian Officers had arrived at Widdin. At Belgrade, the people appear perfectly satisfied respecting the situa tion of Serv►a• A number of German architects, masons, carpenters, &c. have arrived there, and a great part of the town is rebuilding. FROM THE GOTTENBURGH MAIL. GOTTENBURGH, NOVEMBER 1. We have not a syllable of news. Nothing farther has transpired about the armistice in Finland. His Majesty's ships Victory, Centaur, and Implacable are here, and sail with the first fair wind for England. The Africa has had a brush with upwards of twenty gunboats off Drago. some of them have been sunk. The Africa had ten men killed and fifty wounded : she has returned to Carlscrona to repair. " Head-quarters, Lemland, October 19. " The King has received a report, of which the following is an extract : 4t-Yestesday, at three quarters past ten o'clock in the forencon, our outposts were attacked, and immediately afterwards the battle commenced. The battalions of the Regiment of Guards were placed to the left and right of the mad. The enemy, who was by far superior in number, endeavoured to turn our right wing, when Colonel Boye ordered two cannons to be placed to the right of Wigs, and Ly that means the enemy was forced to fall back; but he soon afterwards returned, and attacked us with a still superior force, when we were ordered by Colonel Boye to retreat, after the Swedish and Finland Guards had twice repulsed the enemy.

His Royal Ma i jesty has received the following Report from Admiral Puke : Having judged it necessary to inspect myself the position in Rogerwirk, I proceeded thither on the 7th instant, in company with the English ships of the line. I found that the whole Ras- Asian fleet lad set sail, with the eaception of two frigates, which bad lowered their top-gallant-masts : ape of them was under weigh, but dropped anchor again at our approach. They probably intended to sail up the bay of Finland in company Vrith the other frigate, which seemed ready to set sail. A large frigate lay stranded in the bay, she was dismasted, and no person could be discovered on board of her. His Majesty's frigate Camilla, at anchor in Carbcrona Road, October 16.

His Excellency Don Francisco Xavier Castanos has transmitted the following report to his Serene Highness the President of the Supreme Central Junta of are Kingdom s 44 MOST SERENE L.onos—From Various reports which Lieut. General D. Manuel de la Pena, second in the command of the army of Andalusia, has trans mitted to me, I have the honour to communicate to yow Highness the following intelligence : " Captain Don Francisco Moreno, who commands the tirailleurs of the advanced guards of the division of Andalusia, having received intelligence in Logro i no, the 27th ult. that he was to be attacked next day, resolved to attack the enemy, and the next morning, at break of day, fell in with thew near Ceniceros and defeated them. " On the Bth inst. Count de Alacha, Colonel of the Volunteers of Catalonia, attacked the enemy near Logrono, and put them to the rout. On the same day a strong detachment of French cavalry appeared in the vicinity of Ledosa, and fell in with a detachment of the regiment of cavalry of Bourbon, commanded by Captain Don Juan Gomez. This gallant officer, relying on the intrepidity and courage of his troops, without a moment's hesitation, attacked the enemy, , far superior in number, and being supported by a de tachment of the regiment of the Sharpshooters, com manded by Don Bailarar de Vittalla, the enemy were driven back to Lerin. " All these actions, as hoaourable to the army which I have the honour to command, as glorious to the officers and men who were engaged, will give your Serene Highness a correct idea of the spirit which prevails in his Majesty's army.

India Stock Cons. for ace. 6741} A rumour prevailed very generally for a short time yesterday, that an account had been received from Holland of a general action having at last taken place in the North of Spain, The particulars we need not repeat, as the report is entirely discredited—letters of a later date having been received, which are entirely ' silent on the subject. At a late hour last night we received some Madrid Gazettes. The Gazette of the 25th ult. contains the Report by General CASTANOS, which we have given in a preceding column. The contest which the AFRICA had with the Da nish gun boats, was for the protection of the British traders which she had under convoy. On the 14th ultimo 140 merchant vessels :sailed from Cariscrona under convoy of the AFRICA. When they arrived off Drago, they were attacked by between thirty and forty gun boats. Three of the vessels were captured ; and had it not been for the very great exertions of Captain BARRryr and his crew, a considerable part of the convoy would have been taken or destroyed. The AFRICA suffered severely in protecting it. Exclusive of the damage she received in her hull and rigging, she has sustained a loss of 20 killed and 40 wounded. Other accounts state 10 killed and 50 wounded.— Captain BARRETT having first seen the convoy safe through the Sound, was obliged to put back to Carls crona to repair. The VICTORY, CENTAVIt t and IM PLACABLE were at Gottenburgh on the 31st, from wlience they were expected to WI for England with the first fair wind. Letters received by the Gottenburgh Mail, state some new arrangements to have taken place at Er furtb, which, could they be depended on, would serve to prove that NAPOLEON has but little hope of being able to establish his brother JOSEPH on the Throne of Spain. The following is one of the letters alluded to: MEME4., QCI'OI3R is. The fate of the KING of Patugaw is decided. He is to have the Duchies of Dantzic and Warsaw, and is for ever to lose the Marks and Pomerania. JOSIIPU is to be King of Prussia, it BoNARArrz finds that he casnot completely triumph in Spain. He feels that belsai played an Impolitic game in the Peninsula s for if Ise should even force JoezPn upon them, he perceives that South America would be separated from Old Spain, and that England would thereby gain the ascendant in the New World. Howeier he may bluster, therefore, be assured that be means to restore to them their beloved FERDWAND VII. and by the charm of his name to demand from the loyalty and good faith of England the withdrawing of her troops from every part of the Spanish territories. In this plan of proceedings you will have an offer of ne gociatioe ; and in that offer the Esuperor will not hesitate to say that he will make a sacrifice of his views upon Spain, to manifest to the world his desire of peace." The speculation in the above letter is plausible, and may not be entirely void of foundation ; but it does not harmonize with THE ADDRESS OF NAPOLEON TO THE LEGISLATIVE BODY ; Of which we now lay a full copy before our Readers: PARIS, OCTOBER 26. Yesterday his Majesty the Emperor and King went in great state to the palace of the Legislative Body, in order to open the sitting. His Majesty addressed the Assembly as follows :"". " Messieurs, the Deputies of the Departments to the Legislative Body, The code of laws, laying down the principles of property and of civil freedom, which forms the sub ject of your labours, will be adopted as the sentiment of Europe. My people already experience the most salutary effects from them. 44 The latest laws have laid the foundation of our system of finance. That is a monument of the might and greatness of France. We shall henceforward be able to meet the expenditure which might be rendered necessary, even by a general coalition of Europe, from our yearly income alone. " Never shall we be reduced to have recourse to the fatal expedients of paper money, of loans, or of anticipations of revenue. " I have, in the present year, laid out more than a thousand miles of road. The system of works which I have established for the improvement of our terri tory, will be carried forward with zeal. 66 The prospect of the great French family, lately torn to pieces by opinions and intestine rancour, but now prosperous, tranquil, and united, has affected my soul in a remarkable manner. I have felt that, in order to be happy, I should in the first place be as sured that France was happy. 44 The peace of Presburg, that of Tilsit, the assault of Copenhagen, the plans of England against all nations on the ocean, the different revolutions at Con stantinople, the affairs of Spain and Portugal have, in various ways, exercised an influence on the affairs of the world. “ Russia and Denmark have united with me against England. " The United States of America have rather chosen to abandon commerce and the sea, than to acknow ledge their slavery. gg A part of my army has marched against that which England has formed in Spain, or has disem barked. It is a distinguished favour of that Pnovi- DENCE, which has constantly protected our arms, that passion has so far blinded the English Councils, that they abandon the defence of the seas, and at last pro duce their army on the Continent. 44 I depart in a few days to put myself in person at the head of my army, and, with GOD'S help, to crown the King of Spain in Madrid, and to plant my Eagles on the forts of Lisbon. " I have only to praise the sentiments of the Princes of the Confederation of the Rhine. " Switzerland experiences more and more the be nefits of the Act of Mediation. gg The people of Italy give me grounds for nothing but expressions of satisfaction. gg The Emperor of Russia and myself have had an interview at Erfurth. Our first thought was a thought of peace. We have even resolved to make some sa crifices, in order to enable the hundred millions of men whom we represent, if possible. the sooner to enjoy the benefits of the commerce of the seas. We are agreed, and unchangeably united, as well for peace as for war. Messieurs Deputies, a I have ordered my Ministers of Finance, and of the General Treasury, to lay before you an account of the receipt and expenditure of the year. You will therein see, with satisfgction, that I have not felt it necessary to increase the tarif with any impost. My people shall experience no new burthen. 44 The Speakers of my Council of State will sub, mit to you many plans of laws, and among wino 411 those which have relation to the criminal code. " I rely constantly on your co-operation." His Majesty's speech excited the most lively ems- tlon, and the Sitting was closed under repeated mations of " Long live the Emperor!" rejoicings were manifested in the streets which his Majesty passed. Need we observe that NAPOLEON'S to seize upon the Throne of Spain, is depend on the answer he might receive position made to the British Government indeed, of being willing to mate same obtain peace I—But Spain is the s*rificed ambition requires to be made to his fa nil Vice-Admiral Sir JAmils SAUMABEZ, ty's ship V4crony, witti the CENTAUR' ships of the line, arrived yesterday mornini Downs from the lialtic.—Sir JAMES Admiral CAMPBELL with fifteen guns, tofu turned by the Vice-Admiral with the like Sir HEW WHITEFORD DALRYMPLE Ayr, December 3, 1750, apd was knigl 1779, being appointed proxy for Sir Anoi TON, K.B. at the installation of the Km ) Order on the 19th of same month.
