The news from Keiserslautem mention, that his Majesty the Emperor had passed through that town on the '24th. The presence of the two most power! ul Monarchs of Europe at Erfurth will occasion the as . semblage of man; Princes there. His Majesty, it is slid, will appear attended by a very numerous and splendid retinue.—This celebrated meeting, will, no doubt, furnish ample matter to the historical pen, whether we consider the importance of the decisions, which will involve the fate of nations, pending upon it, or the lustre and authority of the two Sovereign Arbiters. An Officer of the Persian Court, named Kerbeli Bev, accompanied by four attendants, arrived this night at the Palace of Legation. SEPTEMBER :. ) 9.—The grenadiers of the corps of Marshal Monier have marched to Tilsit, to await his Majesty the Emperor of Russia's arrival, in order to attend him to Erfurth. Part of the Imperial guard is already arrived in the said city, as well as M. Beaus set, Prefect of the Palace of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor Napoleon. Troops from the Confederation of the Rhine are already arrived at Orleans; from thence they will proceed to Spain. The Marshal of the Empire, Duke of Dantzic, has held a review, on the 15th inst. of the regiment of the Duke of Nassau, 1700 men strong. It is said that the head-quarters of the Grand Spa nish army will in the first instance be established at Toulouse. BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 21. There are troops passing through this city every day for Spain the situation of Spain is dreadful. It was lately reported, that the General Junta of Seville had been transferred to Madrid, where it assumed the title of Regency.—This day the contrary is main tained ; what seems certain is, that in the metropolis the greatest licentiousness prevails; that the insurgents of Valencia, after having committed great depreda tions, have instituted an absolute system of terror, cast the most distinguished persons into prisons, and declared their goods and ckattels forfeited ; these re volutionary measures they have extended, even to some of the most dignified of the clergy. TRIESTE, SEPTETII3ER 9. The Austrian Government has taken the neces , •ary precautions to re-establish and secure the communi cation between the country of Venice and Dalmatia, which during the whole course of the present mari time war, is to be kept up. We are assured, that the Governor of Trieste has made representations to our Court, in order to induce it to send some detach ments of light infantry, to be cantoned in the villages shag the great road between Trieste, Fiume, and Dalmatia. CUSTRIN, SEPTEBER 25. Yesterday towards noon, arrived here his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and was waited upon with congratulation by his Excellency the Duke of Dalma tia (Marshal Souk), expressly conic here for that purpose. His Majesty condescended to pass in re view the troops, which had marched to the parade for his reception; after taking a refreshment, he imme diately set out again on his journey through Franck f.)rz and Tovgau to Weimar. His Imperial Highness Prince Constantine, had arrived here the day before. VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 17. We read in several Foreign papers, allusions to varlike prepirations made here. The measure adop ted by our Court with respect to the Reserve and Mi. litia, are connected with plans laid down long ago, and now only finally carried into execution. All doubts will vanish in a short time. These measures have notoriously been supported with the utmost cheer fulness on the part of the subjects, and were matured v-ith a promptness and alacrity outstripping expectation. For the rest we can assert, that our Court stands on a footing of the best understanding with the two lead ing, Powers—witness the distinction with which the french and the Russian Ambassadors are treated up tit every occasion, and particularly so at the late vleninity of her Imperial Majesty's coronation. They tire both formally invited to assift at the inaugura t:on ; and when the latter made an ;:pology for his inability of finding a suitable accommodation in Fresburgh, his Majesty assigned him apartments in own Palace. Our Ambassador at Paris, Count Metternich, has frequent conferences with the Empe . 7 Napoleon, which sufficiently evince the harmony subsi.sting between the two Monarchs. HANAU, SEPTEMBER 16. This morning at halflast seven o'clock arrived 1:.-re from Frankfort, his Majesty the Emperor of France, King of Italy, and after having changed horses, proceeded on his journey to Erfurth. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST so. By an Ukase to the Directing Senate, the Emperor passed the fallowing decree : " TO TILE DIRECTING SENATE. " Owing to the present circumstances of the war, we find it c.•ssary that the foreign goods imported into Russia, should have exact certificates of their not being the produce of those countries with which Russia is at war. in consequence of which we command, _ _ " Ist, By the Ukase of April 9, 1793, all vessels bound to Russian ports from foreign countries, shall have certificates spe-• cifying their cargoes, shcwing them not to bathe produce of F.ng l.md or Sweden, and above all, produce of their colonies. All t*.v>er goods must be provided with the same certificates as those that are imported aver our frontiers by land. " These Certificates must he granted by Russian Consuls, where thcr. are any; where there are none, by the Magistrates of places from which the cargo is exported. If there are Rus ,im Missions in those places where there are no Russian Consuls, the certificates of the Magistrates must be revised in the office of -h..

" St. Petersburgh, July 31, 1808." SPAIN. CORIINNA, SEPT. 36. It is reported that the British Government has's*. tified to the Gallician Junta, on transmitting the 500,000 dollars lately received here, that this is the last aid which will be afforded to any of the provin cial Administrations. At the same time the assurances %were reiterated of his Majesty's readiness to afford every aid in his power to the Spanish cause, whenever the Spanish people shall have a legal organ with which his Ministers can negotiate, and can confer on the emergencies of the State. It is but justice to observe, that the propriety and wisdom of this conduct are universally acknowledged. PROCLAMATION To THE SPANIARDS atm rigs FRENCH. (Circulated in the Spanish, French, and Italian Languages, in Catalonia.) " Spain does not wage war against Frenchmen; but she does wage war, which she will continue as long as a single faithful Spaniard remains in his power, against the Imperial Usurper—that monster of irreligion and perfidy—that enemy of Goa and men ; and also against his vile agents, who, by means of the most atro cious fraud, have led away captive the lawful King of Spain, and seized the fortresses of the country. " From this moment nothing will be undertaken against the lives of any individual of the French army who shall desert in Catalonia, and he shall be paid for the arms and horses be brings. " Frenchmen! soldiers! fly from the cruel tyrant who drags you by force into his armies, in order to shed our blood and sa tiate his ambition. The contempt with which he treats you is so great, that in order to keep you more secure, be takes away from you the most necessary clothes when you are within the walled towns which be occupies. Come to us, then; you wUI find in Catalonia an asylum offered by humanity." INSTALLATION OF THE SUPREME JUNTA, AT TOE PALACE OF ARA:IA/rt. LIST OF THE MEMBERS /03EMBLED. TRESIDENII AD INTERIM.

In consequence of the agreement of yesterday, the flith instant, made in a preparatory conference, and by which it was resolved, that at half past nine o'clock this morning, the Supreme Central Junta of Govern ment of the Kingdom shotild be installed (to which effect all the Most Serene Deputies, present in this Royal residence, amounting to more than two-thirds of the number which should compose the Junta of Government, who are mentioned alphabetically in the margin, were summoned) ; the ceremony was observed in the following manner : The said most Serene Deputies assembled in the Sacristy of the chapel belonging to the Palace of this Royal Residence, and when formed, seated them selves on the benches placed on both sides for that purpose. They then heard Mass, which was cele brated by the Most Excellent Archbishop of Laodi. cea, Coadjutor of the Archbishop of Seville, and De- ' puty of that Kingdom ; after which the following oath, which had been previously taken by that Pre late, was administered by him, upon the book of the Holy Evangelists, to all the Most Serene Deputies : " You swear by Gon and his Holy Evangelists, and by Jesus CHRIS r crucified, whose sacred image you have here present, that, in the employment and functions of a Member of the Central Su ' preme Junta of Government of the Kingdom, you will defend, and promote the preservation and increase of our Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Religion ; that you will be loyal to, and defend our august Sovereign, Ferdinand VII. and his Rights and Sovereignty ; that you will promote the preservation of our Rights and Privileges, our laws and Usages, and especially those rela tive to the Succession in the Reigning amily, and those also which are particularly laid down in the same laws ; and finally, that you will promote every thing condusive to the general welfare and happiness of this Kingdom, and the amelioration of its customs, keeping secret every thing that should be so, protecting the Laws from every evil, and persecuting their enemies even at the hazard of your life, safety, and property ?—So I Swea r ." " If you do so, Coo be your helper ; and if not, may he punish you, as one who has taken his holy name in vain." Amen. A solemn Te Deum was sting by the Community of Barefooted Monks of St. Pasqual of this place; and this religious act being concluded, the Junta passed in front of the fine battalion of light troops of Valen cia, which was formed in . two files from the entrance of the Chapel to the staircase of the Royal Palace, and adjourned to one of the principal halls destined at present for the sitting of the Juntas. In this publiC proceeding, and among the multi tude of people (..f all classes and Conditions who were assembled, the greatest interest and enthusiasm were discovered in favour of Ferdinand VII. His name resounded on all sides, together with that of the Junta, who had just sworn, before Gon and men, at the ha zard of their lives, to restore to his Throne a Sovereign ; so beloved, to defend our holy religion, and our. laws, usages, and customs. The opening of the gates of the Royal Palace, which had been so long shut, the melancholy solitude of the magnificent ha. bitation of our Kings, and the remembrance of the epoch at which, and of the reasons for which they were shut up, drew tears even from the firmest of the spectators, who performed the most affectionate and interesting action, and the most useful in exciting vengeance against the causes of those evils, and - a just confidence in the subjects who, after incurring such danger in so just a cause, neverthele.ss present them selves in as great number its is necessary to bring it to a happy termination. Such, doubtless, is what we ought to hope from the lotion and fraternal affection with which the United Kingdoms are mutually ani mated. The enthusiasm and interest felt by the peo ple increased, when the most Serene Deputies pro ceeded to the g.-eat gallery of the print ipal front of the Palace, from which the actual President, ad inte rim, Count Florida Blanca, again proclaimed our be loved King Ferdinand, and the people foll Owed, often increasing their lively acclamations of joy, and the affectioam by which they were inspired by a body who Artie to fill such great hopes, which were thy more properly conceived, in proportion to the dignified sin. cerity with which the most august proceeding which 1 the nation his ever witnessed, has been celebrated. The most Serene Deputies being placed in their respective stations, and the President having pro nounced a short but appropriate discourse, the Junta declared itself legitimately constituted, without any prejudice to the absentees, who, according to the agreement of yesterday, are to compose the Junta of Government, in the absence of our King and Master, Ferdinand VII. and ordered a literal certification of this act to be drawn up, and directed to the President of the Council, for his information, and that of the Tribunal. In the mean time communications are made to him of the last orders agreed upon. Royal Palace of Aranjuez. the 25th of Sept. 1506. (Signed) Mae rim DI GAIOV, General Secretary ad htteritn. AMERICA. HALIFAX, SEPTEMBER 6. For some time the trade of this Province has beep almost at a stand, but it now begins to wear a more promising appearance ; and should the Patriots of Spain succeed in their glorious struggle, business will fall into its usual channel. Our principal exports are fish, lumber, and some West India produce, the first article always finds the best market in the Mediter ranean ; and as soon as we arc officially informed of the Spanish ports being open to British vessels, large quantities will be sent off; one or two small vessels have already sailed for Cadiz. Our neighbours, the Americans, still continue to enforce their Embargo Laws in the most rigorous manner • several long petitions have been sent from the Northern States, praying to have it repealed, but their President is not yet inclined to give up his phi losophic experiments. We have in some degree felt its effects, provisions having become scarce, but the ad vantages we derive from it are more than a match for any inconvenience attending it ; and it is the general wish here, that the Embargo may continue as long as it has done. Transports are fitting up in the harbour to take on board t,oops and ordnance stores—the expedition is to consist of 4000 men ; the destination unknown. THE EVENING STAR LONDON.

We may infer from the sailing of this force, whic'h is probably destined for Spain, 'that the plan of opera tions now to be followed is arranged in all its parts, and that the army which has been inactive in Po - rtu g.4l for some weeks, will now be removed to a scene of action. THE CONTINENT. German Papers to the 2d, and Journals and Letters from Holland to the 6th, containing Paris news to the Ist instant, have been received. The projected interview of NAPOLEON and ALEX ANDER is still the theme of Continental Editorship. The latter reached Custrin on the 24th tilt. where Marshal Souvr had previously arrived to congratu. late him ; and, after having reviewed the French troops assembled there on the occasion, proceeded on his journey to Weimar. On the same day BONAPARTE passed through Keiserslantern on his way to Erfurth, where, say the Paris Journals, many Princes will be assembled on the occasion of the meeting between the two Emperors. Great importance is very naturally :attached to this meeting, the result of which, it is ob served, may involve the fate of nations !—ln our humble opinion, Don CEVALLOS has furnished the world with a text, from which some apt and happy illustrations might be drawn, to give interest to the approaching festivities ; Rnd, we earnestly hope, that means have already been adopted for its diffusion over every district of the Continent. It is said that there has been a serious riot in the City of Brunswick, between the French gnu d'armes and some citizens, in which the former were severely handled. The town of Brunswick has, in consequence, received a great number of troops, and the matter, say the accounts from Germany, is to be further in vestigated—that is, the town will be given up to mi litary execution. Such are the statements of the poli ticians of Hamburgh and its vicinity, in manurcript ; we know not how much more to be depended upon this is, than what appears in the same part of the world in print. According to the public statements from Vienna, All is harmony with the three Imperial Courts, and all the military movements of Austria ate only the I completion of previous details no way connected with the present state of things ! !—As a proof of the good understanding between the Courts of St. Petersburgh and Vienna, it is mentioned that the' , Ambassador of the former, who had been invited to witness the late coronation of the Empress, had been accommodated with apartments in the Royal Resi dence—but, Reader, mark the cause : he had plead ed as an excuse for absenting himself, his inability to find lodgings ! ! ! PORT-BALTIC. Some of the letters from Holland state, tha t best understanding appeared to subsist be twei ., Admirals of the British and Russian fleets in th e ! tic. The Russian Admiral in Baltic Port had several interviews with Sir Jaaixs SAUMARIZ, had dined several times with him." Recent accounts from our squadron state, tha t) , negociation had proceeded so far, that Admiral 4 NICKHOOP had been on board the ViCTORT, &ri ot SALWAREE'S ship, where he was received with all t rt honours due to his rank, and partook of an it i gant dinner provided on the occasion. The prem tions, however, fur destroying the Russian ships w on notwithstanding these shews of civility. y Rt fire-ships were charged and ready to be sent in, if t : negotiation should be broken off. Our naval dif, i macy has been so unsuccessful of late, that we pl 4 much more reliance on Sir JAmEs Snum4nu's Art ships, or whatever other means he may adopt for ~ noying the enemy, than his interviews with the R ii , sian Admiral. In the foreign journals there is a long Ad a ! count from the Russian Minister of Marine, re b, to the late actiott in the Baltic, in which, i s in i & be supposed, thefe is moreof palliation than ver ac i r , i and, as usual. the blame i s l a id on t h e uncontroty, ble elements, wind and weather, although justioi done to the valour and perseverance displayed by British in that partial affair. The statement is br a means interesting. STAR OFFICE. - THREE O'CLOCE We stop the press to state, that it is very confidettli reported at the west end of the town, and particularly in the Government Offices, that Sir JANIF.s Snail naz, impelled by the obstinacy of the Russians, wit would neither surrender nor give him battle, had sec. ceeded in 13t - INING THE WHOLE OF Tut: t FLELT Port Baltic! SPAIN. By the COSSACK, arrived from the coast of Spain, accounts have been received of the proceedings that took place at the installation of the Supreme Junta of Provisional Government. This interesting proceduce, which gives to Spain a Regency and central payee union and operation, took place at the Royal Palace of A.ranjuez on the '2sth ult. FERDINAND VII. Rat again proclaimed on the occasion, and all ranks vied with each other in expressions of loyalty, and patriotic devotion and attachment to their common country. The particulars will be found in another column-a our Paper. Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Fo. reign Office, which lasted from half past two o'clock till nearly six ; at which were present, his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND; the Earls of CAMDEN, WES?. MOR LAND, and BATHURST ; Lords MulzaAtr, HAW KESSURV, and CASTLEREAGH ; Messrs. CANNING and PERCEVAL Parliament, we understand, will be further pm , rogued, so as not to meet till after Christmas. Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses At% GUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, accompanied by Lady GEORGIANA MURRAY, General FITZROY, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode in the Great Park. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of %VALES and Duke of Sussex quitted Stowe on Saturday. The Pit INcE was in the best health, and extremely delighted with the attentions of his . Noble Hosts, and the hospi talities of which he partook at that princely mansion, Monday afternoon the Prince of WALES arrived at Windsor : his apartments in the Lower Lodge not being ready for his reception, he drank tea and sup ped with their MAJESTIES and PRINCESSES in the Castle, and breakfasted and dined with them yesterday, and afterwards returned to town. On Saturday the Duke of Yonx left town for the purpose of paying his respects to his Royal Parents at Windsor. From thence His Royal Highness pro ceeded to Oatlands, where he gave a splendid dinner to Lord PAGET, and several other Military Officers. Yesterday his Royal Highness returned to town, and transacted public business at the Horse Guards. A magnificent entertainment was yesterday given by the Officers now in this country who served in the Portugal Campaign, to their revered Commander, Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, at the Clarendon Hotel. Lord MULGRAVE gave yesterday a Grand Turtle dinner, at his residence at the Admiralty. Among the party were Sir RICHARD BICKERTON, Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, Sir FRANCIS HARPER, Admiral Russ Fit, Admiral DOMk:TT, Admiral DIOTT, Captain RcssuL, Captain MOORSOM, Mr. POLE, Mr. WARD, &c. The ARCHBISHOP of DUBLIN, greatly to his credit, is causing the Act to be most rigorously enforced for allowing 751. to all Curates whatever throughout the extensive province over which he firesides. The Earl of LoNsnAtE has signified his intention of enfranchising hi% numerous copy-holde rs throughout Cumberland and Westmoreland, by which popular measure he will be enabled to enclose more than 20,000 acres of valuable land in those counties, at this time in a profitless state of commonage. Mr. Sheriff Sarni has appointed the Rev. W. Lt:- CAS to be his Chaplain, and Mr. SMITH, of Dorset street, Salisbury-square, Fleet street, to be his Under- Sheriff ; and Mr. Sheriff HUNTER has appointed the Rev. Hz inv KEuisr.s., of East Bergholt, Suffolk, to be his Chaplain, and Mr. RICHARD RICKARD. (brother of his partner) to be his Under-Sheriff. By the private letters from Holland, it appears that a new decree has been issued, by which the Masters of vessels which may be found to have arrived from England are to be capitally punished, their 'vessels and cargoes confiscated, and any passengers they may have On board to be transported, and their letters burned.
