HAERLEAS, JULY SI. A newspaper published at Buda, in Hungary, says, that on the 14th ult. during the stay of the Emperor Francis at M4riszell, he ratified an offensive and de fensive Treaty, concluded between France and Austria. AUGSBURG, JULY 20• Letters from Vienna confirm the previous reports from that capital respecting the entire rupture of the negotiation beween the Grand Vizier and General Kamensky, and the resumption of hostilities. The young Greeks, who were studying medicine at the new Seminary in Constantinople, have been sent to kill the Grand Vizier ! ! I Hi, EVENING STAR LONDON. MONDAY, AUGUST 6.

A dis patch from MASSENA in the former gives an account et %%hat passed preparatory to the surrender of Ciudad Ro,h;go, and of the immediate consequences of its rduction. It seems, that the Spanish garraon con b:,te.l of 6000 or 7000 men, who are to be marched i n to France. Nothing appears in these. documents respecting the future designs of th 4 French on the frontiers of Portugal; but it is said, that the Duke of ABRANTES, who commanded the two corps on the left bank of the Agueda, was assigned the dispositions necessary to hold in check the army of Lord WEI. LIN;TON. The preparations for the invasion of Sicily appear to have been completed early in last month. The force destined to this purpose is considerable. A corps of 10,000 men, making part of it, was reviewed on the opposite shore on the 7th of July by MURAT. Some •English gunboats endeavoured to spoil the shew, but their rudeness was ineffectual. These papers also contain reports that the Russians have been defeated in a general engagement with the Turkish army commanded by the GRAND VIZIER ; but no particulars are mentioned.—Some of the Fo reign journals say that a treaty of alliance, offensive ani defensive, was signed and ratified between the Emperors of Austria and France, on the 14th of June. --All American shipping are excluded from the por►s of Prussia. The QUEEN of PRUSSIA died on . the 19th of last month, after a severe illness, which commenced on the SOth of June, arising from an abscess in the lungs. Her Majesty was the daughter of the Duke of MECK LENBURGII STRELITZ, and was in the 35th year of her age. She died at a country seat of her father's, in the territory of Mecklenburgh. So fearful are the enemy of an attack upon Bou logne by our cruizers, that the garrison of that place has been considerably reinforced. This morning a Gottenburgh Mail arrived, by which we have received Swedish and German Papers : the latter are to the 2d instant ; the former con. tain no intelligence of importance. By the German Papers we learn that the Ex-King of Holland had arrived at Toplitz, in Bohemia, for the sake of the Baths. He has assumed the name of M. de St. Let, and is attended by two Gentlemen, who go by the limits of Baron LER and M. de BLoys. An impu dent fabrication, under the head Naples, informs us that the French flotilla on the coast of Scilht, is daily gaining advantages over that of the English. We have given some extracts from the German papers. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. Several vessels which left the Tagus on the 23d ult. have arrived at Plymouth, by which we have re tived accounts from the British Head•quarters to the 20th, from Lisbon to the 23d inclusive, and from Cadiz to the 18th ult. Could a doubt have remained of the falsehood of the report circulated afe days ago, on the authority of the vessel that arrived at Portsmouth from Corun na, it must have been dissipated by the accounts now received.—There has been no general battle. One of our letters mentions that since the fall of Ciudad Rodrigo, there had been some skirmishes at the outposts, attended with a little loss, but nothing of any importance :—Another of the 19th from head . quartes at Alverque, says: " Nothing of importance has occurred since the " fall of Ciudad Rodrigo. Every thing remains " quiet here, but this cannot long be the case. Some " expect a general battle before long, but many of " the best informed Officers seem to think cut shall 4 ‘ soon see, for new quarters !" If we understand the latter expression rightly, the army expects soon to be ordered to retreat ; and this, from former accounts, we think extremely probable. The subjoined letters present some farther particu- Lrs respecting events already known, and other infor mation deserving to be recorded : " LISBON, JULY 14. " Ciudad Rodrigo has fallen into the hands of, the enemy, after a brave defence. A brilliant skir mish has taken place near Dos Gallegos, between the British advanced guard and the French. Accoun's from the army say they were six to One. They folt: ced our troops to retreat, which they did in good of. der to a bridge across a swamp, where they tried to outflank us ; but our cavalry made a dash and cleared the way—the rifle companies opened a well-directed fire, and two pieces of light artillery finished the busi ness. Our troops retreated : the French advanced to the river which divides the two kingdoms, and again fell back." Another letter which mentions that the brunt of this affair fell on the 14th and 16th Light Dragoons, states our loss at only eight men killed besides Colo nel TALBOT-a much smaller number than was at first stated. 1 . LISBON, JULY 21. 44 This week furnishes little else of novelty from Spain. The desultory warfare in which the Spaniards have become adepts, is still carried on with spirit and effect. A junction of troops has been effected at Algesiras, which wilt Tear the French round Cadiz. Several ships have arrived with cargoes from Brazil; but the Prince remains ill, and business dull. Three ships, full of emigrating families, and rich ones, have sailed for Rio Janeiro this week. " Our head-quarters nearly the same;—substan tially at Celerico. Lord WELLINGTON has 25,000 men, high in spirits. The opposite French force are about 83,000. They shew themselves occasionally and retire again. They have committed, as usual, terrible havoc at Ciud. , .l Roderigo. Capitulation with them, is nothing. Cadiz is quiet ;as are Hada joz and Oporto. The telegraph to Almeida is nearly complete; and the communication will be useful to all. " The fortifications round Lisbon go on unceasingly. and make a noble appearance. Signals ate establish ing along the coast for the shipping ; in case of ne cessity to rendezvous at any particular place. Real IBritish merchants are rejoicing at the opening of this port to British manufactures in general ; and which I hope your neighbours will profit by." CADIZ, JULY Is. " The French troops are strongly posted before the city, but • they give us very little trouble indeed; ex cepting that we cannot get into the country we should hardly know that we are besieged. Now and then we get a few shot from Matagorda, but they do us no harm, as they do not often reach the town. 4i People who have come here from the interior of our unhappy country give a most distressing picture of the misery of the inhabitants. Madrid is depopu lated, and every young man is compelled to wear a French uniform and support their colours. The con dition of the peasantry is abject beyond description—. working day and night in conveying stores and ar tillery for the enemy, while their families are starving." THE CA RACCAS. Some additional intelligence has been received re specting the revolution in the Carraccas.—The ac counts to which we allude were brought by the corvette Guadaloupe, Captain HEAD, from La Qua ra, and state that the public enthusiasm daily in creased in that province, and that the in the neighbourhood continued firmly attached to the new Governmev.. Military corps were progressively for. med andOsciplined, and persons of all ranks has tened to enlist themselves for • the general defence. An order had been issued for the convention of the Deputies of the provinces, freely elected by the peo ple, and the first duty assigned to this assembly was to establish as expeditiously as possible the executive authority in few hands, that means might be taken under competent powers, for the safety and prosperity of the two territories. Two European functionaries residing in Cumana and Barcelona, had produced in those cities some dis contents, which, however, had disappeared, and the instigators had been either committed to prison or had abandoned the country. Under the present circum stances every thing concurred to justify the expecta tion that the whole population of Venezula, united by a common representation in the state would in a short time claim the same rights and support thesame cause. FRANCE AND AMERICA. The CYPRUS arrived at Cork on Monday last from New York with a cargo of flour, in 26 days. The master of her, Captain HOWARD, states, that when he sailed, a call of Congress had been determined on ; and that the people, the mercantile interest in parti cular, were clamorous for a war with France. Bills, or placards, were posted up through the city, calling on the Executive to adopt measures for avenging the injuries and insults that had been heaped upon them by the French, whom they emphatically style a nation of unprincipled pirates and robbers. No doubt was entertained of a war being inevitable. NATAL INIBLLIGBNCE. FALMOUTH, AUGUST S. Arrived the galliott Ten Sisters, Captain HAI?, from Leghorn and Naples, in 65 days.

Lieutenant- Colonel DRUMMOND was on board the Symmetry, coming home on account of ill health, but he died on the passage. The schooner Catharina, belonging to Plymouth , WicKEs master, which sailed from thence on Tuesday last for Lisbon, with a cargo of sundries, was obliged to put back yesterday in a very leaky state, having en countered a heavy gale on Thursiay morning, to the southward of this port about twenty leagues, which carried away her rudder : she ran aground in coming into Stonehouse Pool, and upset ; her cargo is taking out, and it is thought she will be got off.

BRENTON, arrived on Friday afternoon from the Mediterranean, and was released from quarantine yesterday morning. We are sorry to learn that this brave officer still suffers very much from the wound he so honourably received on the Coast of Naples, in attacking King MURAT'S invading flotilla. Car. WILLES (late First Lieutenant of the Spartan) came home in the Spartan. The Spartan sail ed from Malta on the 13th June, and from Gibraltar the 15:11 ult. with a convoy of 4-6 sail of transports and merchantmen.

Eight sail of transports have since arrived. She left the Royal Sovereign and Hydra at Gibraltar.

The Races at Lewes, both yesterday and to-day, had their usual number of gazers from this place, though the sports, upon the whole, in point of line rest, even turned out worse than did those here. The following are the latter particulars ; the former (those of Thursday) you have already received. FRIDAY, AUGUST S.

The company were more numerous this day than yesterday ; the weather not favourable, but free from rain. A severe and an unpleasant accident happened to Sir GEORGE PRESCOTT I OR the Lewes Course, on Thurs. day. Sir G. and another Gentleman were in a whiskey, and in endeavouring to pass, at a brisk rate, the rear of a post-chaise, the carriage was suddenly backed upon them, by which the shafts of the whiskey were broken, and Sir GEORGE and his friend, by the vio. lence of the shock, thrown out. The latter escaped unhurt ; Sir G. snapped the small bone of his leg his Lady being on the hill, he was supported to her chariot, and soon after conveyed to this place. It gives us sincere pleasure to add, that he is now con. sidered as in a very fair way of getting the better of the misfortune. As Mr. and Mrs. TUURDY were proceeding down Ship-street last night in a gig, the horse became alarmed, and dashed off at full speed. Mrs. C. threw herself from the vehicle, and was severely bruized about the head by the fall; the husband kept his seat, turned the corner of the street well, and at last stopped the horse, free from further accident. A Mr. and Mrs. CHANTLIM were both thrown from their gig in one of the streets east of the Steyne, about the same time, Mrs. C. being seriously hurt, but both Ladies, happily, are •ow cuukiered u in a far way of recovery.
