THE NATIONAL REGISTER. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. si (PRUSSLO-COVIGNr., SPPT. 14.---The fate of the provinces ittats•d between the Rhine, the Meuse, and the Moselle, ippears to be decided. The journals which ate published here tinder the in Silence of Prnssia, boldly assert that we shall become subjects of the Prussian Monarchy. The following are some details on this. BuNeet : Prnssia. like all the Allied Powers, ought not only to he restored to the pOwer she enjoyed before the wars of ►BO3 and 1807, but also to possess all the districts whirl' can make the bulwatk.of northern Germany. Prussia lost by the peace of Tilsit, provinces coutaiiiiim ftVe millions of In this mass. Prussian Poland, ca.lcd then Southern Prussia, reckoned t,700,000 inhabitants. This im portant proviuce will Hot return tinder the Prussian sceptre ; it will, it least to a ve'r'y great extent, be incorporated with the new king dom of Poland, the fOrmation of which is insured by the promise of the Emprior Alexateler. Dot to indemnity Prussia, the posses sion of the kingdom of Saxony is promised to her, with the excep tion of some strips of Lusatia, which, being necessary to form the military honndary of Bohemia, will be ceded to Austria, and of the circle of Thuringia, which, with the country of Fulda, will be given to the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, to indemnify hint for his even fatal hereditary right*. - Saxony, after these redactions, will have only 1,700,000 inhabi tants ; but it is an acquisition of the greatest value to Prussia, since she will acquire at once Silesia, the Marches, and the. coun try of Maedebourg. Derides, the inhabitants, protestants in reli gion, and Germans by 7birth, will be tench more attached to the 'Prussian nomarchy, tMn the Poles could ever have been separated as tiny are from the Prussians by the difference of latigna7e, of manners, and of worship. Prussia will form from Memel to Ldp. Me, and from Magdebourg to Kosel, a single mates of contiguous territory, c overed on the side of France by a strong line of for tresses. Beyond this central territory, Prussia will again possess sev er a l sma ll principalities, such as Munster, Cleves; Marek, lee. • brit as the King of flavatia cannot be d ep r i ved of the provinces o f Altoona and Barenth, inclosed in his States, Prussia will he indem nified by the two Duchies of Berg and Juliers, formerly belouging to Bavaria. All these possessions in IVestplialia will not be joi7.ed together withoet the incorporation of the ancient Electorate of Co logne. a long strip which separates the Duchy of Berg from that of inherit. But since, with all these acquisitions, Prussia will not be restored to the degree of numerical strength which Ate possessed in 1805, she must also acquire the Duchies of Limbourg and of Lux embontg, with Aix-la•Chapelle, and chat part of the Electorate of TreveA. which is situated on the north of the Meselle. All these come ries from Embden to Coblentz, and tinm Paderborn. to the gates of liege, will form a contiguous mass of more tle• n lyre, mil lions of inhabitants, and will covcr the whole of Lower Cermany.

We ivorsv that his Majesty the King of Prnssia has diiected a celebrated scholar to submit to him the plan of a university, to he established at Ro.or, or at Coideutz. It appears certain that all thew points are agreed upon by the other Allied Powers; but two articles remain, upon which they are not ummimous: the one is, the exclusise occupation of Mayence by Prussian Hoops; the other. the acqiii-ition e f the late Swedish Po snerania, which Preasia has, it is said, pnrelia•ed of tie.

AUSTIN, AID TO GENERAL BROWN, TO TUR SECRETARY OP WAR, DATED Head-quarters, Buffalo, July 29,1814. I have the honour of addressing yon by desire of General Brown, who is now confined by wounds received in a severe engagement with the enemy on the afternoon and night of the 15th islet. Our army had fallen back to Chippewa. The enemy collecting every regiment from Burlington and York, and meeting with no op. position on Lake Ontario, transported by water to Fort George troops from Kingston, and even Prescott, which enabled them to. bring against us a force vastly superior, under the command of Lientenant-General l)rummOnd and Major-General Riall. They were met by ns near the Falls of Niagara, where a most severe eon !bet ensued. The enemy disputed the ground with resolution, yet were driven from every position they attempted to hold. We stormed his batteries directly in front, and took possession of all his artillery. Not withstanding his immense superiority both in num bers and position, he was completely defeated, and our troops re. m a u l ed on the battle ground without any interruption. A., how ever, both General Brown and General Scott had received severe wounds, almost every chief of battalion disabled, and our men quite ' exhausted, it was thnught proper to retire to our encampment, which was done in good order, without any molestation from the enemy— ' our wounded having first been removed. Major-Gen. Riall, with the Aide-de-Camp of Lient.-Gen. Drum. • mond, and about '2O other officers, with 200 privates, are taken pri soners. The loss on both sides is immense—but no account has yet been returned. The Aid and Brigade Major of General Scott are both severely wounded, and Captain Spencer, an Aid of General Brown, most probably dead, having received two balls through his body. Both Generals Brown and Scott are on this side confined by their wounds. General Ripley commands on the other. I have the honour to be, very respectfully, Sir, your most ob.. dient servant, L. AUSTIN, A. D. Camp. Hon. Secretary of War, Washington. P. S.—General Brown received his wounds at the same instant during a late part of the action, but still continued to keep his horse, exhausted by loss of blood. This probably has rendered his wounds more painful than they would otherwise have been. . KINGDOM OF HAYTI. The following is an extract of a Dispatch from the Minister Ses crow y of State for Foreign Alairs of the Kingdom of Hayti, date 1 Palace of Sans Solid, June 16, 1.814, eleventh year of Wt.- pendence. Ilse Count de Lintonevie, Minister Seerelary of Stale ani for Foreign Affairs, to M. Peltier, London. slll,—Your dispatches of the Vitt of March. sth of April last, and their duplicates, reached me by the English brig Vigilant, Flannagm, which entered the port of Cape Henry on the 10th of Mav ; and by the Betlfid, Capt. Stnekfietd ; and the Smolensk, Capt. jowsey, which entered yesterday, bringing me your Arabi. } ;us, Gazettes, and other papers, Sic. I have laid these dispatches before the King. who heard them read wilt all the attention which the-y merit. The details which you give U 4 of the great events that have taken place in Europe, and particularly is France, have afforded tile King much satisfaction. The King, who had attentively observed the train of events which took place after the retreat of Napoleon front Mosct,w, and successively these of Germany, had concluded that Napo'« n, without the entire support of the French people, by a levy en masse, could never make head against his numerous neinirs, we() were so much the more formidable, because they were instructed by experience; because they had long standing quarrels to revenge; because the safety and the honour of thrones were at ; because they felt the necessity of uniting, to torn a mass of active force which nothing rook! withstand. His Ma , jesty, calculating the itm»ense losses sustained by the French, and the new sacrifices which •it would have been necessary to make, foresaw that it Napoleon was not seconded by the people, he would inevitably sink. His Majesty thought, besides, that if Napoleon fell, he would not fall to hsiy himself under the ruins; but his Mir SEPT . 15,
