" The conclusion of a definitive peace is sup. poked to be delayed by the opposition of Russia to some articles proposed by the Conqueror, who, throughout all the Austrian dominions in Poland, has taken off the arms of Austria, and affixed his own eagles, whilst the Russian troops respect the Austrian arms in the towns which they occupy, and do not even affut their own arms. No good, how. ever, is expected from this variance of opinion in the two Imperial Allies, on account of the fee. bleness and vacillation of the Russian Cabinet. Another event, iu the mean time * which, in the 14th century, would have' armed two-thirds of Earope against the person, family, friends, and allies of the new Protector of Germany, ap. pears to have caused some sensation in the Tyrol and in Saxony. The Pope, before he left Rome, thandered the ban of the church against 80. WArARTE, Ins brothers, and his family, down to' the fourth generation, and pronounced the same anathema, in a solemn conclave, against the Princes of the Confederation of the Rhine, and all the Allies of the Ruler of France. This papal excommunication has plunged the King of Saxony into the deepest melancholy, from which the most serious consequences mu•t bale been apprehended by his Protector, since a French General has hastily been sent to Dresden, and quarters have been demanded for French troops. , Curs de St. Cyr, the French General of Thvison, has been at Dresden since the 14th. •You are, no doubt, already informed of the enert which this last Papal measure mist inevitably pro. duce in Spain, as soon as it is known. But it is hs the Tyrol in partieular, that it has revived the abhorrence of the inhabitants against their up. prinsors." The following is au extract from a letter brought by a gruel (ruin Malts " C insv•avinormt„ dons 7.—The Seven Islands are sow b ecome who, l i..ng forc.aw they would, a trodeavous for Pirates and tlm enems's cruisers, against our Bag and amuse re. But it is astonishing, that the evidence of Earts, he despite of all sound advice as long since given to OW Antral Commander in Chief in the Mediterranean, has sat inehmed him to Adopt the necessary measures for the effectual removal Of Ail serious immtienienre. " The blockade of the Black Sea keeps up tit exchange. It Mat 18 Picastie Twit." Letters of the 7th instant have been received from the coast of France, according to which it appears, that in France as well as in Sweden the notion is prevalent that war will be renewed in the North of Germany. We go not ourselves think that this concurrence of opinion ought much to in. fiance our judgment. The private letters yesterday received from FlushiN, represent the mortality among our troops as /by no means diminished. Some of them state that for some days previously to the 12th, from 50 to 100 had died daily. A mushroom of a very large size was pulled last week, in a field near Bishoptun, and is nJw in the possession of a Lady in Greenock. It mea sured in circumference at the broadest part, 43 inches, 211 inches in diameter. Its height mite inches, exclusive of the stalk, and weighed bib. sus. On Thursday morning, as Mr. Granger, of Kent-street, was returning from Greenwich in hi. gig, his here took fright and ran against a wag. gots, by which accidont M. Granger was thrown out, and hid his arm broken. In the memory of the oldest person living, there has not been so great a profusion of nuts as the present season auras: every hedge of hazel, coppice, amid wood, teems with them ; they hang as thick (almost) as the leaves that surround them. This is the ease, not only in particular districts and cowries, but throughout England. But if the prodigality of nature is admirable in regard to this beautiful production, so ought the public caution to be no less,. in regard to its use. " The kernels of nuts," says an eminent physician, 44 are extremely injurious to asthmatic persons; they are hard of digestion, and stuffing, causing shortness of breath, wheezing, Ike:" They should not be prematurely gathered, nor immediately used a week in the husk will Iliprove their fla vour, and render. them less exceptionable in point of wholesomeness. A curious discovery has just been made in the archives of the French office fur Foreign Affairs. It is a manuscript history of Poland, written in 1704, by command of the Government, by Fa ther Gouvert de Maubert, a capuchin. The his. tory has been compared with that of the Acsde. ukase Roiheres; and to the astonishment of all, it has been found, that, wept 'some trifling sup. pressiuns, or additions, he has copied a volume and a half of his work, verbatim from Masbert. The Pomona, Capt. LoYn, is arrivell at Ports. mouri froth St. Kitt's. On the 28th ult. saw a number of the fleet with loss of masts and sap. masts; also several of the Jamaica fleet, which had joined in the night. Captain Lr.oto counted GO sa il, but could nut discover the Commodore ; spoke the ship l'homaa, Jf London, from St. Kitt's; the mast. r said, she had four feet water in the hold, and 014 could not free her ; the fore- topmast wis blown over and mmen.tnast cut • away.

' _ _ -. HELIGOLAND MAIL. Viessa, Ave. 18.— The Emperor Napoleon Intends makiug a short journey into that part of Hungary occupied by his troops, in order to re view the positions of the corps stationed there. Probably this journey has given rise to the report, which, however, requires confirmation, that his Ma. jest, the Emperor Napoleon will have a mire. rence with the Emperor of Austria in the vicinity of Raab. The French Emperor, we are likewise assured, reversed the positions of his army in 'Mo ravia and Styria. According to the latest accounts from Trieste, the English fleet has left the coast without attempting ally flainburgh Cor respondent, Sept. 1.) 23.—The Emperor Francis has to.day purchased a variety of valuable jewels, trinkets, ace. to the amount of a million of llories, which are no doubt intended for presents, which, after the signing of peace, will be distributed among the retinue of the Emperor Napoleon. It is un. derstood that the Emperor Napoleon has present ed the brave Bavarian General Wrede with consi d-rable estates in Upper Austria and Carinthia. That General has his head-quarters still at Lintz. AUG. 23.—With eager anxiety we expect from day to (lay the arrival of intelligence that .peace is concluded. Our course of exchange, which for some weeks has sefiered no material alteration, is to-day considerably better. On Augsburgh it is now '294, last post day it was 300. This im provement is to be attributed to the hopes of peace.— (Correspondent, Sept. 5.) DRESDEN, AUG. 29.—111 s Excellency the Duke of Abrantes left this city to-day for Bayreuth. The negotiations at Altesiburgh have, it is now known, taken a favourable turn, anal accounts of the signing of peace are soon expected. —(Same Paper.) UPPER BAVARIA, AUG. 23.—The march which the Duke of Datum, Manual Lefebvre, under. took over the Bretintirsburg, with the combined army of French, Bavarians, and Saxons, was ex. tremely difficult : with dauntless cumage, the troops advanced on the 6th and 7th of August, to within two leagues of Brixen. They climbed mountains which the Tyrolese con.idereil as im. passable. Bet a narro , v valley, the steep heights above which were occupied by the insurgents, rendered any progress impossible. The army being in great want of provisions, was obliged to return to Inspruck, where it arrived on the 11th of August. On the 13th, at sun-rise, all the neighbouring mountains appeared covered with insurgents. A battle began, which lasted from six in the morning till night. Not the courage of the Tyrolese, but the nature of the place, pre. vented the brave army of the Duke of Danizic from giving them a complete defeat. As the army marched back through the Lower Innthal, they (omit' the towns and villages empty, the inha. bitants having fled with their cattle to the moun tains ; but how will it fare with them next win. ter, when the mountains are covered with snow ? They will then he obl,ged to remaiu in the tallies. (Correspondent, Sept. 3.) Viewna, Auo. 11.—The Emperor Napoleon issued yesterday at Schoen an Order of the Day, declaring that all Generals, Officers, and Soldiers, who, in the battles of Thann, Abensburg, Eck muhl, Hatishon, Essling, and Wa 4 ram, should have lost it limb, and should be living on that day, the 15th of August, should receive pensions in certain proportions, via. all Lieutenants, Sub. Lieutenants, Serjeants, and Soldiers, 500 livres ; all Captains, and Chiefs of Battalions and Squa. drone, WOO litres ; and all Generals, Colonels, anal Majors, 4000 litres. The children of the Officers and Soldiers who have fallen in battle are to have provisions made for them at the public el pence. Pants, Ave. 24.—According to accounts from Vienna, his Imperial Majesty, on the day of the F►stival of Napoleon, advanced to the dignity of Dukes the Minister of State, Secretary• Marct, the Moister of Police, Fouche, the Minister at War, Clarke, Count De Huneburg, the Minister of Finance, Gaudin, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count De Champagny, the Grand Judge, itegnier, and the Marshals Oudinut and Macdo nald. Three Marshals have been raised to Prin. cot, and General Andreossy has received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Preparations are making at Strasburgh fcir the reception of his Majesty. We are assured, says the Pub[fettle, that the Emperor of Austria has consented to the cession of a great Province of his Monerchy, which be has hitherto refused; and that the goulash", of peace may now be soon ezpected.—(Correspon. dent, Sept. 1.1 28.—The Gazette de France says, " The Emperor is expected in Paris neat Monday or Tuesday. It Mss believed that the Marquis of Romans could endeavour to combine his opera. lions with those of Wellesley and Cuesta ; but we pow hear dug he hes put himself is motion from Gallicia towards the Asturias, and, according to the last accounts, threatened St. Anderu. Parties belonging to his right wing have advanced to the vicinity of Logrons and Miranda. At Gerona, of the surrender of which no official account has been received, a corps of 200 women has been formed, under the name of the company St. liar. bars : their office is to carry water to the places on fire, and to take care of the wounded. The English army in Spain carries with it an incredi. bir quantity of baggage. The officers had most valuable table equipage, kc. Our hussars and dragoons have taken a prodigious quantity of booty in the pursuit. PRIVATE LETTER. BANNS OF TER Etas, Sum. I.—The rumours ut peace and war with Auntie keep wavering ; and in consequelice of the arrival of a courier to the French Minister at Aambergh, and several estafettes, it has been generally reported that the day before yesterday, the French Minister for Fo. reign Affairs (Count Oheinpagny) retuned from the coullarence at Altenburg, in Hungary, to . Vienna, sand that the Faaperor of Austria his native to . the French_ camp, that th► armistice will be broken of in a fortnight after notice. The Tyrolioao have *Wald a signal victory over the ...1 ,- '-. THE STATESMAN. Confederate Army, under the command of the Duke of Dantsic. Besides a vast number of killed, they have cut off or taken prisoners be -1 tween 8 or 9000 men. The brave Tyrolians are preparing to invade Bavaria, on which account the whole French and confederate military force is concerted near Munich. The Prague Gazette has not till now mentioned a syllable farther about the renewal of the armistice. The Danish gun. boats in the Elbe multiply every day ; and this day intelligence was received of their having cap. lured, after a sharp and bloody engaginnent of six hours, as English brig of 16 guns, at the mouth of the river Oust. A small force of British gen. boats might soon clear the river of these impu. dent Danes, u well as - of the French Custom. house Officers, who are reinforced from a line of communication from Bremen to Ilamburgh. In the former place they seized, a few days ago, co lonial products, to the amount of near '250,0001. sterling. INDIA. BOMBAY INTELLIGENCE.-APRIL 11, 1909. The Dutch in the island of Java have lately been engaged in extensive hostilities with the Chiefs of the interior. Previous to the departure of the ship Lord ilinto, from Puntiana, on the coast of Borneo, sublet.' - were received, stating that a strung detachment of Dutch troops, from Same. rang, which had been sent against the dominions of the ling of Sooloo (one of the Princes of the Island), had been cut off to a man. Since the arriva. of Gen. Daendels at Batavia, considerable exertions had been made to recruit the military force of the Colony, by levies of native troops. The Chief of thy• bland of Bally had just received a requisition from the Dutch Government, for an aid of 300 men ; but be seemed very little disposed to •nee it. The report irf a naval force having arrived at the island of Java, is without foundation. With the exception of the armed brig Mandarin (for merly an American), and of two small brigs at. tached to to the Moluccas, not a single ship of war now bears the flag of Holland in the Indian Seas. One of the brigs, named the Werner, Lieut. Gebhart, was captured by the Lord Mini°. The Coiner, French national brig, during her cruise to the Eastward, had touched at Magen. danao, where she delivered to the Chief a present from the Governor of the Mauritius, consisting of six pieces of brass ordnance, 50 barrels of gun. powder, and 50 stands of every description of small arms, and that afterwards she conveyed a similar present to the King of Sooluo. The brig Eagle, which arrived last week from Sydney, in New South Wales, has brought the Newspapers of that settlement, down to the end of August; a series of which, reaching to the 22d of that month, has been obligingly transmitted to us. These papers do not at all notice the proceedings respecting the subversion of the regular Govern. meat of that colony ; but by letters from persons of respectability, and more particularly from a letter addresred by the resident Clergyman of Syd. ney, to Air. Wilberforce, a copy of which has been received here, it appears that the dissensions had arisen from the efforts of Governor Bligh, in pursuance of orders from home, to suppress the practice of monopolising the spiritneus liquors imported into the colony, and by which the of. cers of the New South %Vales Corps gained very considerable emolument. The measures to vin. teract this practice were so exceedingly offensive, particularly, if not exclusively, to the officers of the New Sonth Wales Ciirpq, that they ultimately led to the deposition of the Governor. ,Lieutenant. Governor Foveaux arrived on the 30th of July, and immediately assumed the go 'eminent of the colony. The accounts received direct by the lEagk, from Sydney, reach only to the 22d •f August ; but letters are received fro•n thence, as low as the 27d of Sept. by way of China, and forwarded thither by the bomb Cede dog, which left Sydney on the 2-1111 of September. By these letters we learn, that some time after the arrival of Lieutenant-Colonel Foreaux, the arrest of the deposed Governor, though still rvritiiiiiet:, was ouch relaxed. The centinels that had been placed upon his person had been withdrawn, and he was allowed 1.1 reside at his seat at Paramatta. Copies of the whole proceedings between Governor !Nigh, and the party that overturned his Go. venom/tit, bad been transmitted to England, for his Majesty's •determination and orpers. In the mean time, according to our letters of the 23d of September, Lieutenant. Colonel Foveaux hail sent to Colonel Patterson, at Port Dalrymple, in Van Dieman's Land, requesting him to repair to Syd ney, and to take charge of the Government, Col. Patterson being the senior officer, and holding a commission as Lieutenant-Governor; but it was doubted, whether Colonel Patterson would enter upon the Government, in the existing state of 'fairs. All the accounts from New South Wales that we have seen, speak favourably of the conduct of Governor Bligh, and express the utmost dissatis. faction at the measures that have been pursued by the party who removed him from the go. vernment. Baron Ditegendoif, well known for his travels, has invented a machine, by means of which a per. son may exist under water, without fear of being drowned. It is a kind of cuirass, which allolvs the body to assume every possible position, and which is expected to be extremely useful in saving persons in danger of being drove ned. The Police of Vienna have purchased a considerable number of these machines, with the view of assisting in bringing up drowned persons from the bottom of the Danube. A letter from Dunbar (Scotland), dated the 20th August, says : " The herring Fishing of this place promises well; last night 20 boats were employed, and re. turned successful this morning, having caught 20,000 each boat, at an average. The quality of the lish is very superior this season, but unless a supply of boats soon arrives here, the public will lose sight of the great blessing that is now in their dn.". . _ -.....•••••1 FOOT RACING. A curious examination took 'dace at Marlbo. rougti.street Police Office yesterday, in consequenc e of a charge made by a Mr. Jong against Nice other persons. About a fortnight ago a foot -rate fur one hundred guineas was run between a pel let , of the name of Jones and another person of the name of Pollard, twenty miles, on Epsom Duwni, which was won by Pollard. It was stated by th e Prosecutor, that Junes, the runner, had come to London from Lancashire, and had challenged, by public advertisement, to run any man in England twenty miles, and that Mr. IValker, one of the Defendants, had accepted the challenge to find a man, within a given time. Pollard, who is one of the best twenty.mile runners in England, was sent for from Manchester, and lie won the match easily, and could give his adversary five miles in twenty. Jones, the runner, whu Was also um, of the Defendants, had represented to Mr. Jones, his backer, that he could beat any man, and on his ipse dinit the Prosecutor had staked a share of Jones's money, amounting to about 3501. in th e hands of a third Defendant, a Mr. Nelson. It was urged by.the Prosecutor, that ,by artifice ho bad been prevailed on to back his namesake, by the parties on tile opposite side. it turned out, however, that the race was fairly conducted, and that so far from collusion, Pollard could give his adversary the odds before stated. Mr. Adolphus attended fur Jones, the Prosecutor, and Mr. Al ley for the Defend lilts. The latter condemn e d, ha strlng terns, the conduct of the Prosecutor, wise, he said, having lost his money, had attempted to institute something to intimidate the Defendants to return it. The Learnel Counsel rt commended a prosecution against the Prosecu or, at the suit of the throe Defendants, for false imprisonment. The Magistrate coincided with Mr. A ILI, and thought Mr. Junta bad no ground of complaint. THE MARKE TS'. CORN-RWHA N, CURRFAT PRI Wheat, - - -161. V 55 1016. Fine ditto - - - -1105.114 r.
