FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Of•••m , •••• VIENNA, JULY is. His Majesty's subjects every where evince the best dispositions. Not only have his native tuhjects vo• luntarily offered their services in a preportion much beyond their respective quotas, but a great number of foreigners have als;., enrolled themselves in the Na- Con al Militia. Those who have been enrolled for the battalions of reserve, among whom are many of the best families, are now as expert in their exercises as the oldest sol diets. The very strict orders given for their good treatment have had the happiest effects ; so that, in fact, the great aversion wbich was remarked in diffe rent classes of people towards a military life; and which was partly caused by the harsh usage of for mer times, is now, in a most considerable degree, di minished.—The necessary summons havebeen issued for holding a Diet of the Hungariau States on the 28th of August.

In pursuance of the circular addreis from the Go vernment to all the Prelates of 'L'uscany, our Arch bishop transmitted to all the Clergy within his diocese a pastoral letter, of which the f9llowing is a passage: " As some of those who are subject to our autho rity, forgetful of the most sacred duties of a Christian, have dared to take the liberty of censuring the Go vernment, we admonish you, both in public and prig vate, to hold the Sovereign in respect and honour, and by your example and instructions to encourage the faithful to obedience. Remember that the holy Apostle Paul calls kings the servants of Goo ; and the kings of whom the Apostle speaks were no ether than heathens and adversaries to the cause of CinifST.

BRIBIESCA, JULY 16. This morning his Majesty set out from Miranda. He was accompanied by , the Municipality and the Commissioner of the Customs, to the . boundary of their jurisdiction. Not only did the inhabitants testify their joy by letting elf. tire-works, and giving concerts during the whole of the night, but also on his Majesty's depar ture this morning they repeated these different festi vities. On the road from Miranda to Bribiesca, his Majesty received the congratulations of the • Magis trates of the various places through which be passed ; and on his arrival in this town, he received those of the Alcaide, the Municipality, the Chapters, the Deacon, or Arch Priest, and every person of distinc tion, all of whom were anxious to be introduced to him. His Majesty afterwards retired as usual to at tend to business. In the evening there were an illumi i nation and fire-words. MADRID. JULY IC Yesterday all the bells were set a ringing. At day 'break there was a aischarge of artillery, and in the evening an illumination took place. These rejoicings announced the King's arrival on the Spanikh territory. His Majesty has by this time reached Burgos, a;d is expected here on the 20th. • FROM THE SPANlaji PAPERS: , • • ESTELLA, JULY 1.

Wretch that he is ! Can he think that the Spanish people, for the beggarly consideration of four maravedirs, will re. nounce their right to the preservation of their religion, their cnstoms, and their laws ? Yet, this was the first act of his imaginary sovereignty. His sagacious Counsellors told him that the cloud of opposition which was formed in Spain against himself•and his brother would be instantly dissipated, upon his remit. ting the tax on wines, and promising to regulate the expenditure of the Royal Establishment. But otif public papers have alre4sly told them, that all this aril more will not do. The Spaniards are not so pens. rious as to-grudge what is expended in the Royal Palace, in maintaining the dignity . of our Sovereigns. If in that particular there be room for any reform, let them give us hack our Ferdinand, and let him and us consult about what is proper to be done ;. but no ! cost what it may, Joseph must be King of Spain!

The words were scarcely spoken, when a fresh body of from 4 td 5000 cavalry entered the field. 'Our artillery advanced to meet them, and the horse and their riders fell at every discharge. Those of the troops who penetrated farthest towards the centre al the French army, and sustained the greatest loss, were', the columns of Gallicia and the Volunteers of Na. varre. The artillery entirely destroyed three columns of the French cavalry. We took one standard, and a great number of horses ; and it is reported that their General was killed. A single artilleryman is said to have fired, in the space of seven hours, 190 rounds of grape-shot, and with such precision, that every one was supposed to have done execution. Our General ordered that he should, as a reward, receive ten reals a day, over and above his pay. LAXE, JULY 19. D. Franciso Antonio Pla, Captain of the Spanish privateer Boton de Rosa, who is arrived from La Guayra, which place he left on the 30th of May, po sitively states, that his Catholic Majesty, Ferdinand VII. was proclaimed in the Caraccas and at 'La Guayra; amidst the greatest' rejoicings.

Our General mentions in terms of appropri ate praise the valour of the officers and soldiers, and more especially that' of the right wing of his army. He expresses his satisfaction, that the honour of our arms has suffered no diminution ; that our losses are capable of being speedily repaired by the activity of the Government, and the known patriotism of the na dies of this kingdom; that the enemy is superior to us in cavalry only ; and that the tactical knowledge 'of.our generals will - depriie them of that advantage.

The . y an nounce the departure of NAPOLI:ON from Bayonne on the 21st ult. He proceeded for Pan, but at-whis further route, nothing is given but conjecture. ,Seine reports say he proceeded to Nantes and Brest--pthers that he is immediately expected at Paris. From such statements nothing can be inferred but that they are intended to cc:weal his real destination—probably the Rhine. Numerous corps of French troops arc , alreagy as sembled at Strasbutgh and the neighbourhood and orders for the formation of an army of reserve_have been issued. If these preparations do not indicate the'speedy commencement of hostilities, they,leave little doubt that NAPOLEON entertains that distrust and suspicion of the designs of Austria, which, sooner or liter, must terniinaie in a ruptui-e.. 'While Kat- LERMANI is preparing an army en the right hank of the Rhine, the whole of the - French troops in Venetian • Frioul are ordered to'incrienp in the neighbourhood of Udine. It is probable, whatever force call le spa. red from the Kingdom of Italy will be added to these, as well as a pait of the Neapolitan army ; if, under the circumstances of the very distracted stye 'of` that country, and the presence of a very respectible'Bri tish force in Sicily, BoNAnAivre will venture to dimi nish his military strength in that quarter. It is, however, so great an object to him - to assail Austria on that, by much her weakest side, that it is not un. Ilikely he will draw together for that purpose the prin cipal part of his force on the other side of the Alps. These indications of an approaching , upture be. tween France and Austria are strengthened by reports circulated yesterday, on the authority of a Gentlentaa wholeft Holland on Tuesday last, and reached town o n Saturday evening. He states, that the Austrian Minister there had demanded his passports, and had actually set out for Vienna ; that the Austrian Am bassador at Paris was recalled; that General Ax- DRFOSSI had quitted Vienna ; and • that French troops were pressing in every direction towards the countries bord,ering on Austria and Bohemia. That a war between these Powers is at no treat distunce we think highly probable. Austria has" for some time been endeavouring to restore its army, and I to establish a respectable military force. It may be relied upon that NAPOLEON had resolved never to permit this. He will have war after'svir With Austria, if more than one be necessary, to berinwer entirely —to reduce her to the same abject state to which he has brought the kingdom of Prussia. Austria has no choice ! It was desirable, and was probably the wish of Austria, to avoid a war till her military establishment was restored ; but the destruction of that Power has long been determined on .by . Naro- LEON ; and it is generally believed that it was his in tention,. immediately after. arranging his plans in Spain, where he did not expect to find th:4 resistance which he has met with, to provoke a rupture with Austria. In fact, he is only executing what was in tended to take place, and the inference to_be drawn from his present movements is simply this—That he counts upon having a force sufficient for his object, besides what may be required for the subjugation of Spain. Let us hope that he may be found for once to have miscalculated his . means ; but let us at the same time prepare fur the contrary. , •We cannot but think that this sudden movement of NAYOLEON calls upon us to nurse our iown resources. Let us assist the enemies of NAPottn.k with money .
