FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. NOTE •ILITERED ET COUNT ROMANZOW, CHANCELLOR Or THE *SS. SIAN EMPIRE, TO COUNT ST. JULIEN, AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY, AT ST. rETERSIORGH. " St. Petersburgh, April 18. " His Imperial Majesty, considering Moldavia and Wallachia as composing a part of the Empire, and as such must be governed by his laws, declares that no rights can any longer be admitted there, the practice of which only takes place in Turkey. His Majesty has therefore charged his undersigned Chancellor to de. dare to General Count St. Julien, that every individual horn in these Provinces must be considered as a subject of his Majesty; that in the mean time be leaves them the choice of remaining in this quality, or, after paying their debts, and giving an account of the places they held, to quit the country in six months ; and that persons born elsewhere may continue their commercial pursuits in said Provinces agreeable to existing treaties, paying regard to the laws as well as to the imperious necessities and burdens which war occasions. While the undersigned makes this communication to Count St. Julien, he requests him to impart it to his Court. (Signed) " ROMANZOW." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, JULY 5.

Cons. for *pg. 714 H By the Princess Charlotte Packet, arrived at Fal mouth, in eighteen days from Cadiz, and fourteen from Lisbon, we have received some additional papers and letters from both of these places, but they add very little to the accounts received yesterday.—No general battle has taken place in Portugal, • nor does it seem to be expected for some weeks to come. At Cadiz but little progress has been made by the enemy:l it appears, however, that some dissentions prevail among the Spaniards which eventually may prove most injurious. The following paragraph appears in the Gazeta del Cotnercio : " it is ascertained, that our enemies finding their valour in sufficient to conquer us, have endeavoured to sow the seeds of discord, not only among the peasantry, but among the skirmish. ing parties of Andalusia. To oppose this contrivance, a Provi-' clonal Junta of Government has been established, composed of a President and eight other Members, with a Secretary; and proper Officers of acknowledged patriotism." Perhaps the best possible remedy for these dissen tious, would be that suggested in one of the private letters—the assembling of the Cortes. Why has our: Government not insisted on the execution of this measure, the only one that seems calculated to root up the residue of that system which has hitherto pa ralised all the efforts of the patriots ? The Gibraltar letters are to the 15th ult. They comprise accounts of some skirmishes in the neigh bourhood of the Bay, and contain favourable reports of the operations under General O'DoNNEL ' in Cata• lonia. It appears, by an article from Tarragona, in the Gazeta de la Regencia, that a powerful force, com posed of the army which retired from Reus, has lately escorted to the French side of the Pyrennees all the plunder which had been collected at Barcelona. Several ships arrived from the coast of France yes terday. We have ' already inserted the order under which the exportation of corn was prohibited from thence after the Ist instant, These ships took their departure previous to the hour of twelve on that day, the Douaniers being in readiness to detain them if they should be delayed one instant beyond that time.—Paris Papers to the 26th, 27th, and 28th ultimo, have been received by these vessels, from which it appears, that two distinct Chambers are established at Paris ; one to be called the Cham ber of Commerce, the other the Chamber of Ma nufactures. The Members of each Chamber are to consist of persons who have a thorough knowledge of the principles and details of these important branches of political economy. The permanent sittings arc to be held at Paris, at which the Minister of the In terior, or persons deputed by him, are to preside.- I EI, Members are to be allowed full freedom of de libe ation and discussion—but their final decisions are to submitted to the Emperor before they can pan into a law. By th.cNe vessels a report has been received that a Fren4 army, under MUkAT, is to invade Turkey, and that an Austrian army is formilig to co-operate in this attack on the Ottoman Empire. In the last Harnburgh Papers received, which are to the 2.5 th oh.. there is an Ofiiiial notification from Count KomAicaow, the Russian Minister for Foreign Aff iirs, to the Austrian Ambassador, that Moldavia and Wallachia are to be considered as part of the Russian Empire. Against this proceeding Austria has remonstrated, reminding Russia that treaties have for a long time subsisted between Austria and the Porte. by which these matters were fixed and regulated. le A ll this there is something very mysterious ; for the.possession of these provinces is the very object for which Russia and the Portearecontending; and if the last .advices from that quarter arc deservidg of credit, the hold which the former has on them is very slight indeed. We cannot believe that the claims of Russia will be listened to for a moment after matters are ready for an explosion in that quarter. The dismem berment of Twkey, long a favourite object with NA. yes,sow, will enable him to indemnify his father-in. WT I FRANCK, for his losses, and this bone of cox. " I " o ' ,, r l F , `w 4 ri^ tention will, no doubt, be eagerly seized in execueon of the plan. •PORTO, JUNE it. • The British army had made no advarce so late as the 9th, only a few advanced regiments had changed their positions, for the advantage of more eligible quarters. The river Aguida has fallen considerably, but it is the opinion, notwithstanding, of many experienced Officers, that there will be no action before the har vest is on the ground. The force of the enemy has been much exaggerated, yet it is certainly great, and their army, in point of numbers, is much superior to the combined armies; and when it shall have been joined by the fourth division which, it is said, has entered Spain, it will be necessary to take every pre ' caution, and act with the greatest military circum spection—Should a general action take place, the only thing which can perhaps compel our army to retreat, • is its being flanked by some of the small French corps. Desertion is still frequent, which is generally attri buted to the long inaction of the French. I have seen a letter from an officer who holds a distinguished situation in the army, in which he gives it as his'decided opinion, that no serious attack will be attempted in this country before the middle of next month. The enemy are carrying on their works before Ciu dad Rodrigo, to which place they are bringing down all their cannon from Salamanca ; and it is expected that an attack will be made in a day or two. Lord Wellington remained but a few hours in Almeida. It has been reported that Junot has left Spain for Paris, and that Massena has gone to Madrid with 600 horse. A small brig came in last night ; she sailed from Portsmouth the 30th of May, under convoy of his Majesty's ship Goshawk ; she is gone to Lisbon with eight transports laden with provisions. The convoy for Lisbon and the Mediterranean, were to sail in a few days after, under convoy of the Lively. LISBON, JUNE 16. Our troops are all in the best possible order and in high spirits. I have just heard from a fliend at head-quarters, who says he has been entirely through the army, and estimates the number of men at present with Lord Wellington, to be 3.5,000 Bristish, and 15,000 Portuguese. It seems, however, to be a pretty general opinion that an action will not take place for a month or six weeks to come. CADIZ, JUNE 19. It is not in our power yet to confirm the account of the defect of the French General SEBASTIAN!, by any later arrivals. We shortly expect favourable news from the gallant O'DoNNELL, though at present we have none to communicate. The French seem making preparations on the other side of the Bay, as if they meant to attack the city. We have reason to think that they have had several reitiorcements with in a late period, hut the extent of them we cannot as. certain. As far as appearances go, they do not seem to be much increased. The stories of those who come over from the enemy must not be relied upon. The new scheme of BONAPARTE to divide the Spaniards will not succeed. With regard to our civil affairs, England has hut one line to pursue—to recommend and to insist upon the Cortes being con voked. This day Mr. CORBETT appeared in the Court of King's Bench in order to receive judgment, when he addressed the Court at some length in mitigation of punishment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then replied, and Lord ELLENBOROUGH ordered Mr. COIDETT into the custody of the Marshall, to be brought up again on Monday to receive sentence. Mr. HARRIOTT, late a Police Magistrate of Wap ping, also received sentence this morning ; he is to pay a fine of £lOO, in consequence of a recent con viction. The KING came to town yesterday, about twelve o'clock, from Windsor, in his travelling carriage, es corted by a party of the Light Horse. His MAJEsTr was received by the Dukes of YORK, KENT, CAM BRIDGE, and CUMBERLAND. Soon after two o'clock the KING held a private Levee, at which the following had the honour of being presented to his MAJESTY : Lieutenant-General Sir I-lEw DALRYMPLE, on being appointed Colonel to the 19th Regiment of Foot. Captain MooaSON, on his appointment to be Surveyor-Gene ral of the Ordnance. Lieuteoant-Colonel PouLLT, Colebrolte Royal Artillery, on his appointment, at:dills return from Crylon. . Lord SoEFFIts.n, on coming to his title. Major Lieutenant-Colonel FZILRIOR, First Regiment of Life Guards, on his promotion. Some letters have been received from Petersburgh, by which we learn that the navigation being open, about 70 sail of ships, vv to wintered at Cronstadt, have taken their departure. The Exchange was at 141. We have also the subsequent official notifica tion " Information having been received, that with the feet of ships in ballast, sonic laden with Colonial produce have presumed to enter the roads, under date of the lith Inst.; the Department of Foreign Affairs has directed, that the papers of such ships shall ! be subjected to the strictest search, under the superintendence of the French Consul, M. PILLIor. And it Is hereby made known, that upon the discovery of any collusion or fraud, the seizure of such vessels and their cargoes will immediately take place, and their confiscation will be accelerated. (Signed) " CARMESIN, "Stettin, June 15." SS , of , Commissary . 'rade. Pursuant to this order the seizure was made of those ships, the papers of which, on examination by the Imperial Consul, were not found to be perfectly regular and satisfactory ; and by Advices one day later, we are told, seven vessels were pl f ued h t 44 predicament, ,•••.-,.. THE ARMY. Notice was this morning issued, that the half yearly pay to the Half-pay Officers in his Majesty's land forces, will commence payment on th e 9th instant. Three transports which arrived at Plymouth on Monday night from Lisbon, were filled with deserters from the French armies in Spain. They are mostly Germans, and are to be sent to the depot at the Isle of Wight, to be incorporated with the foreign corps. An embarkation of part of the 16th dragoons was to take place this day at Falmouth, for Lisbon. The waggon-train are embarked on board the transports; and ships of war are daily expected at Falmouth, to convoy the troops to their destination. A regular re ' giment of infantry is hourly expected to arrive at that port to embark for Portugal. The Royal Cornwall Militia have marched from Uxbridge for Taunton and Tiverton. The detachments which have lately been drafted from the Foot Guards for foreign service, were last night countermanded, and have this morning again returned to their customary duty. Monday se'nnight 34 men of the 9th Veteran Bat talion were embarked at Leith for Orkney, to replace the like number there, who have volunteered for Ca , nada. Yesterday a Ballot was taken at the East India House for determining the questions exonerating the owners of the ships Calcutta, Jane Duchesv of Gordon, Lady Jane Dundas and Bengal, from any blame re specting the loss of those ship:, which questions were carried in favour of the owners. Private letters from Bengal, via Madras, advise the arrival of the Lady Lushington, Sarah Christiana, Sir William Pulteney and William Pitt, from England. The accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, by the E tst Ird:a fleet, we regret to state, afford some me lancholy proofs of the impossibility of preventing the piratical expeditions from the Isle of France, to which the British commerce in those seas is perpetually ex ! posed. The following prizes were carried - into that Island in the course of one month only, Febrwlry last :—Charlton and United Kingdom, bound to Ben gal ; VICTOR sloop of war ; Minerve, Portliguev.! fri gate ; a Portuguese ship of 450 tons, half loaded, and with 300,000 dollars on board ; brig Ann, )ound from Bengal to Port Jackson ; a Grab privateer, and two merchantmen, particulars unknown. There also arrived, during the same month, three ships from 16 to 20 guns each, and three ships of about 400 tons each, with cargoes from Bourdeaur. And about the end of February, or early in March, the Bellone and Minerve (now mounting 50 guns) I frigates, and Victor sloop of war, sailed from thence on a cruize in ,the Bay of Bengal, where, judging from the former successes of the enemy, it is much `feared they will do infinite mischief to the trade. Mr. Sanderson, of Whitecross, Hants, started on Monday last, from his own house, for a wager of 500 guineas, to go 72 miles a day for seven days, which is three miles an hour for the whole time, without stopping. The pedestrian, who is an ath letic man, had finished his third day's task ott Wed. I nesday, but betting was two to one on time. Tuesday afternoon as Lord Lowrnrtt and Mr. Caoaßa, Secretary to the Admiralty, were riding to gether in Richmond Park, the latter was thrown from his horse, and dragged some yards with his foot in the stirrup. The horse did not take fright, but stumbled, and in the sudden shock Mr. Crtorcea was thrown. Mr. CROKER is much bruised, but has received no es sential injury. He was obliged to return to town in a chaise, and is now confined to his bed. A servant maid in Westminster was struck bVncl by ligl . tning on Sunday night, but recovered the ight of one of her eyes on Monday evening. Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, as a youth of about l 7 years (4 age, was walking along the road near Brc'okshourn, Hertfordshire, he was struck down by the lightning in a senseless state : he was token to a house in the neighbourhood, and did not survive an hour. Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, the parapet of the house of Mr. HILL, trocer, in Whitechape., fell from the top of the building into the street with a dreadful crash. Fortunately no person was passing at the time. A shocking accident happened on Sunday last, at a village called Llansamlet, abut two miles from the opposite shore of Swansea. During a storm,. about forty persons were induced to seek shelter in a mill, which being struck by the lightning, killed three men, William Hopkins, David Thcmas, and David Jen kins, and wounded about twenty others ; and we learn another man has since died. The miller who was at work, escaped, but the mill was burnt down to the ground. The body of a well dress'A young woman was found in Chelsea Reach, on Tue,day evening, by some fisher men. It was owned yesterday morning, and turned out to be that of Jane Sanford, upper servant in a gentleman's house in Parliament•street.* She is sup posed to have beta blown into the water, or upset in a boat. She had permission to spend Sunday last amongst her friends, and was not seen afterwards. DREADFUL Fritx.—The sad catastrophe which took place at Castle Blaney, last week, affords another awful warning to those who neglect to provide against the danger of fire.—Mrs. FAUGIIRY and her two in fant children, while her house was in flames, were seen at the window, soliciting assistance from the by. standers, but which they were unable to afford ; and she and her helpless offspring perished in the sight of her husband. A maid-servant and two men also fell victims to the devouring flames; and another maid. servant precipitated herself from it window, and was dashed to pieces. It must occur to every one who has seen the Patent Self-operating Fire.rscape, lately ex hibited at No. 17, Pickett.street, that, i l cMr.F.tviongv's house had been furnished with it, the liv :3 of his family would have been preserved, but fortunately for the he cannot future peace of this hard-fated G en tlem an, reproach himself of havi ng om i tte d a precaution which has not as yet reached Irelaucl,, although for some months past every one in this country has had it in his power to avail -himself of it for the trivial sacrifice of five guineas. The escape is so advnirably calculated to rescue children in the moment of a anger, that parents omitting to furnisl4 their nurseries with this most excellent invention, certainly tak4 'eon themselves an awful responsibility.

The Captain of the SPARTAN was severely woundeils and between 20 and 30 of her men were killed or wounded. The enemy, it is supposed, suffered still more heavily, and we should conclude the English frigate succeeded in driving the enemy's flctilla off, as she captured one brig, and sunk another. This is probably the same action as that sp.iken cif so eon' fusedly in the French papers, and in which the enemy, as usual, claims a victory. The acc , unt, howevers received by the Woolwich, is not sufficiently precise. Passengers per Woolwich : Marquis of Bate, Marchiontas of Bate, I .ord Midriff, Lord Dudley, Hon.
