The affair in question took place on the 30th of August ; the troops were landed early in the morning or that day ; and shortly afterwards, we lament to add that C.iptain Blanckenhagen, of the Honourable Com pany's establishment, was struck by a musket-ball, at the head of his memo He survived only tat he reached the ship from which the detachment had been disembarked, and his remains were afterwards interred in the church of Amboyna. THE E ENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, JULY 25, 1814. • ST. hates.—Holiday at the Stock Exchange. We have this day received Paris Papers of Friday last. An article from Hamburgh mentions a report of an approaching marriage between the Pr;ncess CHARLOTTE of WALES and •the PRINCE ROYAL of PRUSSIA. Marshal Solna has issued a Proclamation from Rennes, as Governor of the 15th Military Division, in which he seems to insinuate that the loyalty of some part of the soldiery to the Bouttious may too . justly be called in question. They are invited, under pain of the MarshaPs displeasure. to chew a more decided divotion to Louts XVIII. than they have • hitherto, and much is said about their not, tarnishing the glory they have aequited by, deserting the Ban ners of the Lily.

Bruchsal smut a e in-A - Utillttli . . — .-.- An article from Switzerland exhibits a pleasing instance of the pacific and generous spirit which per vacs the Diplomatists of Europe. It is wished by the Diet to unite a small District, called Argovia, to . the Canton of Berne : the inhabitants have refused, and against their refusal the Government of Berne protests : " declaring at the same time that they do not renounce their just rights, but they utterly disclaim all intention of evealing to arms." The return of Peace was celebrated at Moscow on the Ist of June by a succession of entertainments, in which all ranks participated. There were tumblers, rope-dancers, and fire-eaters in all quarters, procured on purpose for the entertainment of the populace ; .and in the evening a grand spectacle was exhibited to the Nobility and Gently. Our venerable friend 'Count ROSTOPCIIIN presided of course over all the fes tivities. The spectacle consisted of a Melo-drame, in which Russia, Europe, Glory, Victory, &c. were zepresented by elegant females, and exhibited an a'de liorteal repmentatien of recCu events. The Emperor `ALEXANDER WAS represented as the Angel of Peace; n'ttc.t during the entertainment, Cupid was seen riding tin she air mounted on an Eagle with two heads. All -ibase devices were the inventions of the ingenious XOSTOPCIIIND of tire-balloon memory. The intelligence from Madrid in the French Pa pers informs us that the Archbishop of Valencia, dis pleased with the conduct of Ferdinand, has given in hi; resignation. s - • , CORFU, UNE 18.

Private letters from London received at Berlin, announce that the Princess Charlotte of \Vales will probably espouse the Prince Frederic of Prussia, son of the King, born the 30th of October 1794. LISBON, JULY 2. A vessel which has arrived from Names at Lisbon has been put under quarantine; for permitting the visit of an Algertne frigate. The Captain states, that two other frigates and two Xebecs from Algiers have passed the Straights to.blockade the entrance of the Tagus against the Portuguese, and all the Hanseatic ; Prussian, Danish, and other flags. This circumstance will necessarily fetter the trade of Portugal much. COPENHAGEN, JULY 9. We have not received any news from Christiana since the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied Powers ar- rived there, which must have been about the Ist inst. —This want et intelligence inclines us to think that Prince Christian has entered upon negociations. In the course of the month of May 1297 vessels passed the Sound. On the 3,1 inst. a large English fleet of Merchant vessels pas=ed the Sound: on that day them Snit nearly 300 vessels at anchor in Elsineur Roads. DOUAY, JULY 12. ..A dreadful accident has spread CAW neighbourhood. A convoy of artillery set out (tom this City betty - een eight and nice o'clock this morning for Cambray on the route for Paris. Scarcely had it arrived between the streets of Ferin and Greul zin, when a howitzer caisson exploded : a ieviseconds afterwards, two of these projectiles burst and caused new misfortunes : they wounded dangerously several soldiers in two companies of attillery, part of the gar rison of Magdeburg, and who were passing the convoy at that moment to proceed to Dnuay. The band of music belonging to the National Guards of Cambray was only a few paces distant. M. Coquelet, who was passing, had his carriage covered with splinters of wood. From the report made to the Mayor, one man has been killed; a serjeant has been mortally wounded, five have been severely and five slightly wounded. A traveller from Douay had his horse cut in two, and five or six other horses of the convoy were killed. But what is surprising, although the traveller had his horse killed and his carriage shat tered in pieces, and although he was blown into an adjoining field himself, he was taken up withont the least scratch. The accident is ascribed to the friction of the shells against each other and the consequent issuing of the powder. MOSCOW, MAY 4S. The rebuilding of this great city continues with the greatest activity, and it will rise finer than ever from its ruins: the streets will be more regular, and the houses better built. A great number of metchants, manufacturers, and artists, arrive from all quarters, with intention to fix their residence here. We hope :bon to see our Emperor. PARIS, JULY if. Monsieur Count d'Artois dined yesterday at the 1 1 Thuillerics with the King : he returned to St. Cloud at eight o'clock in the evening. Yesterday the Duke de Berry inspected several of the Barracks occupied by the Garrison of Paris. There was no meeting of the Chamber of Delos ties yesterday. It was reported that the Minister of Finance would present the Budget, but this business has been put off until to-day. We are assured that the Prince of 13enevent will repair, as Ambassador Extraordinary from France, to the Congress to be held at Vienna for the definitive settlement of the affairs of Europe. The manufactures of Lyons begin already to feel the beneficial effects of peace. We learn from that 'citytbat numerous orders arrive from all pans; but that there is a want of workmen. .114rti r CC,of M onaco, Honore IV. reamed the ?oseessiou of bis tenitoty the 19th of hag, in ton fortuity to the Treaty Or ir i s of the SOi6 of May. The King has published ad ordinance, confittling the institution of the Legion of Honour. The fact of certain persons at Gibraltar, offensive to the Spanish Government, having been seized and sent to Cadiz, though no official information an use subject has yet reached. Government, is stated through so many channels that we cannot doubt it : but respecting one of the Gentlemen seiz.A, we haie learnt a fact, which makes • us doubt whether the Governor of Gibraltar w 45 at all acquainted with the circumstance. It appears that the individual al luded to, was an acquaintance of the Spanish Officer commanding at San Roque, and that the latter in vited him as a friend, within the lines, and having thus obtained possession of his person, sent him on board a ship that he might be consigned to the dun geons at Cadiz. It is much more probable that the other two were kidnapped by some equally infamous manoeuvre than possible that the Governor of an English Fortress could be induced to abuse his power and violate the laws of hospitality, by giving up to their bigotted enemies persons who had fled to him for protection. Alas, poor Spain I what . evils art thou doom!d to suffer from " our lvt.ved Ferdinand !." from bigotteci Priests, and a re-established Inquisition? We almost wish, had it been possible in the nature of things, that the interests of King Joss Pit _could have been sepa rated from those of NAPOLEON, that he might have been suffered to occupy the throne of Spain. It is impossible to look at Spain without feeling anguish that the valour of our troops so gloriously extrted for the emancipation of that country, should have ',roved so fruitless in benefit to the people ! It is impossible that things can long remain it: their present state in Spain, and we are si•riou..ly up. prehensive that the infatuated conduct of the Govern ment 'IA ill soon hurry the country into a civil war. Let us hope that temperate remonstrances from odic, Sovereigns wilt not be withheld ; and that possibly they may produce some good. 01 the latter, how ever, we have great doubt. The other Powers of Europe have a right to inter- fere for the welfare of the general fnnily ; but a most delicate point, The Spluich Pattiots have made Elrope their debtors, nor should the ‘vill of 171:1:01NAND, or the had men whose advice he fol lows, be sufftle4 (it it can by any means be pre vented) not only to deprive the patriots of the reward to which their labours and sacrifices have entitled them, but to load tl.em with insult, bjury, and op• pression.

His Royal Highness gave au diences to the Earls Of HARROWRY, LIVERPOOL, BA THIRST, and CATHCART, andViSCOUntSCASTLEREACII, and SIDMOUTII. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE is much recovered 'rum his late severe , indispositioa. The Princess &mattEnt has been appointed Ran ger of one of the Parks : her *Cammission was sealed on Friday in the Court of Chancery. It is reported that the Archduchess MA ntl LOUISA, after a short stay at Aix, will proceed to join BONA PARTE, in Elba. Her attachment to hiss: is so unal terable, that she has constantly worn his picture ; and during her recent visit to her Imperial relations' at Vienna, she was frequently seen to kiss it. A letter from Antwerp, dated July 11, says, " The Hereditary Prince of ORANGE is expected here to take the command of the British Army (uf which he is a Lieutenant Generals) in Brabant. Dutch Commissioners arrived here to-day fi,r the purpose to assist at the division of the Fleet, naval stores, &c. They have been called on by the other Powers to as sist those of Britain. The Barb3does paper of May 16, says-4 , On Sa- turday last an affair of honour took place at St. Ann's, between two officers stationed there ; and we regret to add thatone of the parties received his adversary's ball in his brodist at the third shot, which passed through his body, and terminated his existence in two hours." It appears by a return made to the House of Com mons from the Colonial Department, dated the sth inst. of the slave•ships condemned in the British Co lonies, together with the number of slaves they had on board, from 1808, to l 812, that no less than forty vessels were condemned daring that period, viz. 27 at Sierra Leone, five at the Cape, three at the Ba hamas, two at Barbadoes, and three at Jamaica, con taining, altogether, 6 25/ slaves ;of whom 1200 were females.
