FOREIGN INTELLIGENCI. AUSTRIA, JUNE 26. Among the novelties of the day, one .which must ill the heart of every true patriot with the sincerest joy, is, that her Majesty the Empress Louisa, of Prance, finds herself in blessed circumstances of body (i. e. is with child.) Important and flattering arc the hopes with which this happy event must animate two noble and powerful nations, Austria and France. There is a report, among others, of a new splendour, which our Imperial house will receive in the persons of two Princes. STOCKHOLM, JULY 12. The inquiry into the cause of the sudden death of the late Crown Prince, and into the truth or false hood of the reports which have been for some time in circulation, is still continued, but nothing has as yet transpired which in any manner whatever confirms the suspicions that have been, and are still entertained by a Inge part of the public against several distin guished characters in this country. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 26. 4 g On the 22d of this month, Te Deum was sung in all our churches, on account of the capture of the for tress of Silistria. The keys of the gate of that im portant fortress were brought here on the 21st inst. by a courier. When the PAcha, who commanded in Silistria, was summoned, he returned for answer that they should rather see the moon drop from the stars than witness his surrender ; but on the 12th of June, after a heavy bombardment, which lasted 3 hours, and during which time 3000 bombs and red-hot balls lself corn- Ath inst.

MIR The defatilters wbo were announced in the Cit, on Saturday were principally confined to the Stockta4 change, except one broker, for an inconsiderable sum. The funds too, for the• first time during the week, were not only steady, but comparatively improved. The Consols opened at 68 for money, and fiat for next account, and left off about I better. Exclusive of the accommodation derived from the increase of the discounts at the Bank, other arrange ments have taken place, which will contribute, in a very great degree, to revive and uphold mercantile credit. On Friday evening a meeting was held, con sisting of the principal Bankers and Merchants of the City, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety and means of supporting such merchants as were under temporary difficulties, and deserving of assistance. Among the bankers who attended the meeting were—SMITH, PAYNE, and SMITH ; MASTER MAN and Co. ; EVERETT and Co. ; VERE, DRUCE, and Co. ; besides several others, and a number of the most eminent merchants. After some discussion, ir was determined that a proposal should be made to the deditors of some of the houses under embarrassment, to receive the full amount of their several demands by four equal payments, in bills drawn at six, twelve, eighteen, and twenty-four months, bearing interest. This proposal was immediately accepted, and a list of debts and assets, of which the following is a copy, was laid before the meeting : Gravc, Sharpe, Fisher, Debts.

Mr. RICHARD FORT, Sir R. GRAIIAbf, Mr. SHAW (of the house of SHAW and FLETCHER) and another, whose name we have not been able to ascertain. It is said that a sum of six millions, in Bank of England notes, has been transmitted to the country for the purpose of supporting the credit of several country banks. It ;s also said to be in the contempla tion of Government to indemnify the Bank in the issue of three millions, to be lent on colonial produce, or other property, as an accommodation at the pre sent conjuncture, when public credit has received so severe a blow. We understand that meetings of respectable inha bitants have been held at Exeter, and other places in the West of England, at which a number of banking houses made frank and unreserved displays of tht state of their property, by which it was. satisfactorily shewn that they were possessed of funds fully ade quate to meet the present unprecedented juncture. Tile consequence has been, a general restoration of confidence in that populous and wealthy part of the kingdom. There has been no arrival from Cadiz since the Delight, which sailed on the 30th ult. She was re leased from quarantine on Sunday se'nnight. The French batteries on the Trocadero fire at every boat that passes the Puntales to and from the watering place. On the 25th, the Eagle's boat was struck ; and, before the boats could get to the assistance of the people, two men were drowned. It should be men tioned, to the honour of the enemy, that they ceased firing the moment they perceived the boat sinking ; for they had it In their power to prevent any boats approaching the wreck. The Expedition that sailed from Cadiz under General LACEY, landed at Tarifa, Algesiras, &c. and the troops are now in the Ronda, in the rear of the French—the mountains of the Ronda are seen from Cadiz. On their march they were joined by many thousands of the peasantry, and' 4000 spare muskets were soon distnbuted among them. It is calculated, that the force (which sailed between 6 and 7000 strong) will be soon increased to 20,000 men. A supply of muskets has been sent them from Cadiz. The works at the Isla are hourly increasing in strength and number; and the enemy seem too well aware what the result would be of an attack, to hazard the loss of such a multitude of men as would be sacrificed in the attempt. It is said, General BowLEs has left Gibraltar, with 1000 British troops, and has directed his march towards Malaga, for the purpose of co-operating with the Patriots in that quarter. The Spanish fleet at Cadiz are pre paring to proceed to Minorca, where, it is said, the Re. gency have consented they shall be placed for safety. The ROYAL SOVEREIGN had arrived at Gibraltar, on her way to Cadiz, for the flag of Rear-Admiral PICK MORE. She left the fleet off Toulon on the 30th of Max'. Sir CII .RLES COTTON, in the SAN JOSEF, had arrived. The UNITE, Captain P. CAMPBELL, has been successful, having taken many valuable prizes, Intelligence has bees received from Surinam to the date of the 21th of May. They state that a great scarcity prevailed in that colony of almost all the in dispeusible articles of life. In consequence, a Pro clamation been issued by the Court of Police, granting a bounty on the importation, in British and neutral vessels, in the space of four weeks from the 10th of May, of 15 guilders per barrel of flour, and five per hundred of rice, and two per hundred on beans and peas. For four weeks further, a bounty on the said articles 25 per cent. less than the above, deducted at the expiration of each fortnight. It ap pears also, that, from the general prevalence of dry weather at Berbice, Demerara, and Essequibo, the plantain crops have mostly failed, and great appre hensions were entertained in those colonies, as well as in Jamaica, that a famine would be the conse quence. A Caraccas Gazettop of the date of the 11th May, contains the Address of the Supreme Junta of that country, to the Regency and Supre.ne Junta of Spain. By this instrument, inserted in another part of our p4per, it will be seen, that the vAst regions of South America, during the present condition of the parent state, deny its authority, but promise &tare obedi ence, if Spain should be resclvd from the grasp of the tyrant, and a Constitution s .ould be formed connec ting America with the Eur peas Monarchy, on the basis of equal 'liberties and la NS.

MASSACRE AT DOMINICA. i I The ships Mars, FALCONER, from Dominica; Sa-, i I I Mel, 1-11/813ERT, from Jamaica ; Thomas, WATIIELY, i 1 from Martinique ; the Elizabeth, Success, and Mary Ann, from St. Domingo, passed up Channel on Fri- d4y, and were boarded by several boats from Ply- mouth. They sailed on the 6th of June from Mar- -1 i .1 tinique, and left there the ALFRED, 74, and GROUPER schooner. The 63d Font were at Martinique, in a very sickly state ; several of the Officers, and many of the men, had died. Captain LUCAS, of this regi- ment, came home in the Thomas, on account of ill- ' health. During their pasiage, the above ships spoke , , several American vessels, nu their way to the West' 1 ' Indies, the Masters of which expressed themselves `/' I much enraged at the conduct of Bow/iv/um, in con- fiscating all American vessels in French ports; and stated it to be the general wish throughout the United States, that a reconciliation should take place with England. 1 ' The Mars brings the account of a shocking mils- , i ' i sacre having taken place at Dominica. During the . time the British Officers were at dinner, the Blacks rushed into the nuts-room, and butchered the whole • of them, with the exception of tivo. Several soldiers and white settlers, also fell victims to their fin y. They were at length quelled, and many of them put to i death. Several others were confined in irons, for a 1 i • public execution. ,' j. A similar plot had been formed by the negroes at Martinique, who were to have murdered all - the Bri- tish (Meer s ; but the plan was fortunately discovered and frus•rated by the great exertions of Colonel FAIRFAx, of the 631 These plots are attributed to i French intrigue—they by no means look well. 1 . • The above ships, on the 9th instant, in lat. 40. long. 32. 30.

The plaintiff, an officer in the navy, sought to re. cover of the defendant, a horse•dealer, ninety guineas paid for a horse warranted sound, which the plaintiff bad returned. The defendant, "hen he received one hundred guineas for the hone, agreed to take it back, if returned within a stned time, and to return ninety guineas. The plaintiff, after he had rode him to his house, sixty miles from town, discovered that the horse had a thrush, and that it was in other respects un. sound—Under all the circumstances, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JULY 20. THE PRINCE OP WALES, AS DUKE OF CORNWALL, V. ST. AUBYN AND OTHERS, The Barons of the Exchequer sat in the Hall of Serjeant's Inn, to hear the reply in this case. We have stated in a former report, that the Bill was filed by the Attorney General to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to recover as part of the Duchy of Cornwall, some toll on the river Tamer, claimed by the defendants, and in their possession. The defen dants having demurred, the arguments came before the Court. It was argued in support of the demurrer, that it was illegal and unconstitutional )43 proceed against the defendants by the Prince's Attorney Ge neral filing a bill, and that the advisers of his Royal Highness were bound to proceed by the common law of the land, namely, he general issue, and take the verdict of a Jury ft* the claim in question. A number of precedents were cited by the Solicitor I General and Sir SANIVEL RoMILLY, to prove that the 1 Attorney General of the Prince of Wales had exer. cised the power of supporting the claims of the Prince as Duke of Cornwall, in the form of the present Bill, from an early period. Mr. DALLAS, in reply, contended that the cases cited did not apply. By the 21st Of James the First. the Crown was restrained from filing a bill of intru. sion if the rents and profits of land in dispute had not been in the possession of the Crown for twenty years ; the common proceeding in such a case was the common law of the land, namely, trial by Jury. The property, which became the subject of the pre. sent bill, tiled by the Prince of Wales's Attorney General, had not been in the possession of the Duke of Cornwall within the last twenty years, therefore the Attorney General for the Prince could not do that which the Crown was precluded from doing. The bill before their Lordships was not to recover lands which had been in the Prince's possession within the time he ha 4 stated, and the defendants had availed themselves of the 1.. w on the question. Though the Attorney General for tlle Crown was invested with power to proceed, by filing a bill in that Court, yet that power was not vested in the Prince of Wales's 4ttorney General, who was bound to proceed by the common law of the land. The adesers of the Prince, he observed, were not, therefore, without remedy. They might proceed in the form adopted by every subject of the realm. The Court did not give judgment. A Gottenburgh mail with Stockholm Gazettes to the 13th, and also German Papers to the 11th arrived last night. The Russians still continue to pursue their advantages over the Turks with increased suc• cess, and a Te Deum has been sung at Petersburgh for the capture of Silistria. The Russian army has pe. netrated into Bulgaria, across the Danube. It is stated in an article from Austria, that the Empress cf France is pregnant, but as Paris papers of a later date are s lent on this subject, we may fairly question the authenticity of the rcporzs. Mr. M'CRRADY has amused the visitors of New castle-upon-Tyne, during the race week, and since, with an excellent company, and in consequence of his exertions the house has been nightly crowds d.
