We have information from France, that all goods may be imported into that country and Holland, on the payment of 50 per cent. but this regulation is not to take place until the lst of November. In conse quence of such an unexpected notice, commerce is at a stand, as we were not at all prepared foi such a ANOTHER, SAME DATE. The declaration made by France, in the decree of the sth August, has hitherto produced no impression, •s we wait first to hear the determination of Eng land, to take our measures accordingly. ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 25. The supplement of the Court Gazette of this day emitain3 the following intelligence respecting the en gagement with the Grand Vizier : 66 On the 1 Ith of June, old style, the Commander in Chief of the forces on the other aide of the Danube, attacked, with the army under his command, the troops of the Grand Vizier, who were encamped on the heights of Schumla. After an obstinate resist ance, the enemy were driven from the woods and heights, and compelled to retire under the walls of the fortress, with the loss of three stands of colours. The right wing of our army possessed itself of a height covered with a thick brake of briars, which being close to the Turkish entrenchments, seriously menaced them. The Turks did not desist until the approach of night, from their efforts to regain possession of this 46 0 1 1 the 12th of June, the Turks made a new at semi- t upon the height with the greater part of their force. Lieutenant-General Lewis formed a grand hollow stir are on the right, and posted the troops un der Arlin' ant-General Prince Teubezkoi, in two hol low squares on the left. The enemy consumed the whole of the day in repeated and desperate efforts to break our square on the left, incessantly supporting his troops with fresh reinforcements, and the fire on both sides was tremendous ' • but the victorious troops of his Imperial Majesty frustrated all these efforts with distinguished gallantry, defeating the enemy, and compelling him to retire within his entrenchments with considerable loss. The center and left wing of our army, which could undertake nothing of importance against the Turkish entrenchments, which Is ere strongly fortified, made •arious movements in advance, occasionally firing with their artillery upon the town as they pro ceeded ; but nothing could divert the enemy from his attacks upon our right wing. About three o'clock in the afternoon a body of Turkish cavalry, nearly 5000 H strong, rushed nut of the fortress, and a part-of them charged our left wing in front, while the rest endea %%urea to turn it ; bat by the well-directed fire of our ar Clery, and a successful charge of our cavalry,' they were twice defeated, and driven back upon fichuml4. . . gg The General in Chief Ccunt Kamenskoi (2), beams the most distinguished encomiums upon the gallantry of the troops tinder his command, who op posed,w•ith indefatigable energy,a hostile force greatly superior in numbers, and he particularly mentions the active exertions and intrepidity of the Adjutant-Ge neral Prince Teubeskoi. " Our loss amounts to 1000 men, and to the regret ' of the whole army, we have, among them, lost the highly esteemed and experienced Major-General Po rmd , pdo, who fell on the first day by a cannon-ball. The loss of the enemy must have been uncommonly great. " On the 16th of June, Major-General Zysyrew puriunnt to orders from the Commander in Chief, had to change the position of the troops belonging to his detachment, to watch, not only Warna, but also the coasts of the Black Sea, upon which three of the enemy's vessels of war had arrived. This movement could not be concealed from the enemy. Six thou sand of them made a sally from the fortress and fit. riously attacked our troops, who, however, instantly took up advantageous positions on the heights, and received the enemy with the greatest bravery. This hard-i, , ught action lasted from three in the morning until eleven o'clock ; but after the failure of ell theft attacks, with great loss, the remains of the Turkis!: hordes hetock themselves to flight,in which they again suffered a very considerable loss from our cavalry, who pursued them, and a brisk fire from the fortre,s, by which they endeavoured to prevent the approach of our troops, without any consideration for the safet) Of their own. " Our loss is not yet ascertained ; bnt, thanks to the ALMIGHTY, it is not great. The loss of the enemy in killed was immense, almost the whole of the field of battle being covered with dead bodies. " On the 18th of mite, Lieutenant-Genera' Lewis, after a few ski•mi Irs, took possession of the town of Oshum, on the road from Schumla to Trenowa. On the 21st Lieutenant-General Woinow, and Major-General Count Strognow, were ordered to fall I , upon a body f 2090 cavalry, who had come wit of the fortress to forage. They executed their order • with the must distinguished Ability and intrepidity.-- The enemy abandoned the forage they had collected, nod fled with the loss of 290 killed, and 3 officers, and 100 rank and file made prisoners. " On the 22d June, the General of Infantry Count' Kamettskoi (1) took post with a corps under his corn ' inland, on the road leading from Schu;nla to Constan tinople, by way of Tschelekaw y. " Mayer-General Count Sukoto, who passed the Danube on the sth of June, and effected a junction with the Servians, commenced his operations in the most successful manner, and on the 15th gained pos sessi the fortress of Per sa Palanka._ T.sterddy lntl the ti y before, the flotilla at Croastadt was o 14mm:tuning in the roads." PARIS, AUGUST IL OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN. •RNAGON, CATALONIA, VALIINCIA, The 31 corps forms the investment of Tolima, in Catalimia, and is constructing Met tie pont, at Xerta and Mora. The great road opened from Capes to Morh, is completely finished. On the 6th of July 1200 of the garrison of Tortosa made a sortie, which was repulsed by the 14th regi ment. On ie Bth, at nine in the evening, another sortie of 2000 men took place. The Sd regiment of the Vistula and the reserves again drove back the enemy with a very considerable loss. On the 12th, at four o'clock in the morning, 1500 picked men, and a great number of peasants, made a new and vigorous sortie. Our advanced posts were, for an instant, compelled to fall back ; but Generals Laval and Klopiski, with the 44th regiment and the grenadiers of the Vistula, rushed upon the enemy, who re-entered the fortress in the greatest disorder, with the loss of 105 prisoners, near 200 wounded, and upwards of 150 left dead on the field, together with a number of muskets. In these different affairs we had from eight to ten killed, and twenty wounded. On the 9th of July, a reconnoitring party, sent in the direction of Falset, surprised and carried off 30 men of the Spanish regiment of Grenada. The rear guard of the reconnoitring party, consisting of only 50 men, was surrounded by 400 insurgents. They fought with the enemy for four hours, and forced their way through them at the point of the bayonet. On the 11th, Brigadier Garcia Navarro, marched with 1200 men against a few companies which Gen. Suchet had posted in advance of his headquarters at Mora. He was repulsed by Colonel Kliski, with the loss of 30 killed and 50 mule prisoners. On the 12th, General Abbe turned the position of Tivisa, where the enemy had taken post, dislodged them with a considerable loss in killed, and took pos session of the village, whist. he committed to the flames, because the inhabitants had taken up arms' against our troops. On the 15th, the enemy made their appearance, with their division in front of General Abbe, and in their turn, attacked the positions of Tivisa. General Abbe having only 700 men there felt himself very! feeble at that point, but 400 men or the 115th regi; ment marched against the enemy, and covered the field with their slain. They were pursued as far as two leagues beyond Tivisa, and sustained in the pur suit a further loss of 200 killed, 260 prisoners, and a very considerable quantity of cartridges. We had 11 killed and 52 wounded. On the 17th, 1800 men attacked General Verges at Daroca. They left 400 in killed and wounded, and 217 prisoners, including 17 officers. This corps was completely dispersed, and General Verges has entered Teruel. The fort of Morella, defended only by two hundred men, had ben fourteen "months blockaded 6y 1.500 V«lencians. General Montmarie was detached en the 19th, with 600 men, to re victual it, and to supply it with additional artillery. The enemy was dislodged and pursued to a considerable distance, with the loss of a great number of men killed, including four offi cers, 160 made prisoners, an 8-pounder, 6(X) balls, thirty thousand cartridges, forty thousand stock-fish, &c. &c. General Montinarie lost about 30 men. The occupation of this fort keeps the city of Valencia in a state of continual inquiettid,!. ANDALL74IA, GRENADA, MURCIA. On the 15th of July, General Rey attacked a corps of insurgents in the mountains of Ronda, killed four thousand men, dispersed it entirely, and took some prisoners, among whom was Colonel Valdivia, the leader of the band. The corps that disemSarked at Algesiras, and which advanced towards the moun tains to support the insurgents, and to protect the transport of provisions to Cadiz, was met and de feated by General Girard. The remains of this corps embarked at Essepona, which wits entered by our troops. The greatest disorder prevails in Murcia. The lea ders of the insurrection are quarrelling about prece dency. General Freyre has caused Catvache to be arrested, and die former is to be superseded in his command. The preparations for the siege of Cadiz are com-'1 pleted. A spy brings intelligei.ce, that on the 18th instant, there was a great revolution in the town, in which General Castanos and several Members of the Junta were killed. Deputies from Vera Cruz, and other settlements in America, had reached Cadiz, who had declared that fore future, the party of the insurgents was to expect no assistance from the Colonies. On the I 2th July, an English brig, lades with wine, and navigated by 16 men, was captured by some ves sels belonging to the flotilla. The most perfect trangnillity prevails in the interior of Andalusia ; the inhabitants are every day acquir ing a knowledge of their real interests. ()ALUM. On the 29th July, General Count Serras attacked the fort of Sanabria, in which there were 3000 Spa-1 Maids. This post is important, because it commands the entrances into Porturd, and shuts tip the corn: munications with Gallic!a. Lord Wellington bad enjoined the Spanish Governor to make an obstinate defence. The Governor replied— " MY Loan—You require me to shut myself up In the fort of Sanabria, with my soon Spaniards, on an assurance that you will relieve me. You told the Commandant of Ciudad Rodrigo, Eat if he held out twenty - days you would come to his relief : he held out twice that time, and you did not keep your word. It is then evident that you intend to do nothing for unhappy Spain.— In order to foment divisions in it, you hold out hopes of 3SSi9t. ante to it which you never intend to realize; and without heavy artillery, it will be impossible for me to make a long defence.— Notwithstanding, I will shut myself up is the fortress, and bury myself under its ruins, iif you will send one Englishman for two Spaniards, to assist in defending it. Send me 1000 British, and 1 will bring with me 2000 Spaniards." The answer of Lord Wellington may be easily conjectured. The Spanish General abandoned the town, where we found 20 pieces of artillery, and prb visims for 3000 men for six months. PORTUOAI.. The Dike of Elchingen has caipletoly invested Almeida. The trenches will be opened immediately. The English having adopted the precaution not to place one of their battalions, not even a company of artillery in the fort, shews that they intend .to sacri fice the Portuguese that are in it.

Por some time past a great number of de. serters from Sicily, and also-many of the inhabitants of that Wand, arrive on the coast of Calabria. They come away in the night in small boats, by which means they elude the vigilance of the troops stationed along the coast, and also that of the English cruizers. According to their information it would appear, that a sense of their common danger has not yet been able co re establish harmony between the English, the troops of the line, and the Sicilian Militia. The spirit of enmity which prevails among them continually occasions various duels, and particularly a number of assassinations. The people, in general, detest the English. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

By the TORRAS? we have receivtd the letter of our respectable Correspondent at General GRAHAM'S army.—There is nothing remarkable, the army is in high spirits, and anxious for an opportu• nity of coming to quarter frith the enemy, which there was no appearance of their affording them.— From the excellent system laid down by that very able physician Sir James FELLows, Director• General of Hospitals, the army was kept in as healthy a state as if it had been in England.—When disease occurred, either in the Spanish or English army, Sir JAMES was looked up to with confidence. General FERGUSON, who with Captain Annan came home in the TONNANT, arrived in town this morning in good health. There is no truth in the report of the arrest of Ge. neral CRAUFURD, or of his loss on the Coa amounting to 500 men. The loss was as stated in the Gazette. By the Tor.:NANT, Government received dispatches from the Commander of the British squadron at Cadiz, announcing, as we are informed, the sailing of the whole of the Spanish ships of war in that har bour for Minorca. They were accompanied by the Bilks and NORGE. Five sail of the line and one fri gate came out with the TONNANT ; the others were to follow in a day or two.
