FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM VIE FRENCH PAPERS. P tlitS, OCT. CS. They write from Vienna, that the Emperor has declared himself higitly gratified with the manccu ♦res performed by the troops encamped near Prague, and therefore ordered a gratuity of four days' pay to Le distributed both among the non-commissioned officers and among the men. Besides other foreign ers who visited this encampment, were fifty-two Prussian, and sixteen Russian officers of rank and distinaion. General Sava! y, and his aid-de-camp Bartaud, were the only persons of our countrymen noticed in the Austrian pipers, as presented to the Emperor at Pragut. They were received in such a gracious manner as modern Frenchmen have to exped every where, and at all courts not prejudiced by British intrigue, or misled by British mon: - .y. (La Ckf da CaGintl). Two Sardinian g:tlleys, which sailed from Cag liari oa the sth instant, met the next day four Tu nisian pirate vessels. After an engagement of two hours and :4 half, two of the pirates struck their co lours, and one was sunk ; the fourth escaped by su- perior sailing. The captured vessels carried each tight guns, and a crew of eighty men. Their corn ' tnanders were foreign renegadoes ; the one a French man, from Antibes, arid the other an Irishman, from • Cork. They were both severely wounded before they surrendered— ( lbid.J The Italian Saran,, Savioli, died at Bologna, on the Ist ult. aged 75 years. He was the author of several hi,torical works, and dedicated lately to the Emperor of the French, his translation of the first volume of the Annals of Tacitus. It is reported that the Austrian Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh, Conat Stadion, and the Russian Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, Count Rasoumowski, have both received th.!ir re cals. The political relations between the two Em perors are, for the future, to be cont . ut.,l 4y C /wee d'Affaires only. Our Ambassador to the Emperor of Germany, the Councillor of State, Champigny, is expeael here next week ; but, though his suc cessor is not yet officially known, from the good undemanding which reigns between the Cabinets of St. Cloud and Vienna, there is little doubt that he will inuw diarele have one, either in the person of M. Otto, oar Mn.i.sser to the Court of Mun;c7i, or, in his Excellency M. Marbois, the p: csat Minister of the Impsnial Treasury.—(l6id.) The Coronation, and nothing but the Coronation, is the order of the day. Even the atchievements of our heroes on the coast, and the invasien of Vng- . land. are crtly secondary ohjats of conversation in our military, as well as in our political and fish- Tunable circles. According to what we h tve he ad from gentlemen high at Court, and in confident.- of our Sovereign, and that le.ervingly, three aft:. equally religious, glorious, and necessary, are to be performed on that remarkable day, when family merit and national gratitude fix and establish . for ere, on the throne of the French empire, a new dynasty. The days being rather short, the cere mony is to begin early in the morning of the Gth of December, and the Emperor, the Empress, the Pose, and the impes ial procession, will set out from the Thaiileries at 8 o'clock. The first aft, the con szcration (la sa,re), will take place in the Metropoli tan church of Notre Dame, which, it is supposed , wili, nut be over before 11 o'clock. Then the Emperor, accompanied by the Pope, Cie grand offi .ers of state, the Foreign Ambassadors and Pi inces, toge ther with all other public funftionaries, deputies from the provinces, and from the armies, &c. wil' go in state to the Invalides, where his Holiness the Pope will perform the second aft, the ceremony of coronation. The Empress is to be present both at Notre Dame and at the Invalides. In the latter, after the Pope has placed the Imperial crown on the head of Napoleon the First, his Majesty will himself place an Imperial diadem upon the fore head of his Consort, the Empress Josephine, who, with her suite and attendants, will then return to the Thuillery palace. From the Invalides, the Empe ror will go to the Champ de .AL,rl, and seat himself upon the Imperial Throne, erefted there for this oc casion, at the foot of which his Majesty will gra ciously condescend to receive the oa:' • of allegi ance, in the presence of his Ilorness Pope, who intends on this occasion to make an appropriate speech, and to give Isis blessing to this third aft of he Coronation ceremony, which, it is supposes', will tot be over before it is dark, when a general, and itherlo unseen brilliant illumination will add to the ustre of this ever memorable day. On account of he length of time required in performing these wee afts, and the fatigues of all persons called, e: Ansitted to witness them, his Majesty has gra lougly ordered tables, with cold refreshments, nd tine wines, to be spread, both at the lay:di:es, nd in the Mil:t.ary School, sufficient to contain n thousand persons, namoer supposed to at lad on this grand oceasi:u. All the espences are r taken from his Majesty's private purse. .— (Courier de r Seciadet.) Nicolas Joseph Cugnot, one of our first officers of engineers, died here yesterday, aged s 6. He was born at Void, in Lorrain, and made his first cam paign in Germany, hut has been in the French ser vice, since 17vS3. He was the author of several es teemed work, on the military art, and the inventor of a fuzee, which he presented to Marshal de Saxe, who used it it, his regiment of Houlans. The revo lution reduced him to great indigence, which the Emperor graciously relieved, by allowing him a pension of 10°0 livres (.01.) in the year. The report of Mr. de Signeul, the Swedish Com mercial Agent here, having left this capita!, is, hi therto, without foundation. He was seen, last night, at the Opera, with pleasure, by all those acquainted with his merit and attachment to France, where he has resided in an official capacity for these ten years past. Married to a French lady, it is supposed both on her own account, and from the state of his own health, which requires a milder cli mate than Sweden, that should even His Swedish Majesty go to the extreme, and recal his Commer cial as well as his Political Agents, M. De Signeul will obtain leave of absence from his Court, and permission from our Emperor to remain here in a private station.—(Journal de Paris.) Among other benefadions publishei of our gra cious Sovereign, the following is mentioned : Pierre Duna, a young invalid, who, in fighting under his Majesty in Italy, Egypt, and Syria, had received twenty-two wounds, and who had lost before Abou kir both his arms, bowed to his Majesty when en tering his carriage last Sunday ; being asked by the Emperor where he had been maimed in that man ner ? he answered, " Sire! I am proud to say, un der your Majesty in Egypt ; and I only regret, that I have no . two arms more ; they should be employed in chastising your Majesty's only remaining enemies, the English." '!'he Emperor ordered immediately General Du.•:,c to take down his name, and to give him tcn louts. 'I he next day, he received an Impe rial Patent, allowing him a pension of 200 livres, 81. a -year.---( :dos.) T IE BKITISaI PliEsS• LONDON, SATURDAY. NOVTblatk 10. Private letters from the army in India, recciired by the late overland dispatch, state, that negocia tifms for peace had been commenced with HOLKAR, vho was willing to accede to any terms proposed ny the COSISSANDS.R in CHIEF. The Medusa, Capt. Goss, arrived on Thursday at enrtsmouth, with the Spanish frigate Matilda, of 36 guns, taken off Cadiz, without any resistance. The Spanish frigate was ontwat d bound, and Laden with quicksilver. Captain GONE LAS brought dispatches from Sir RICHARD STA A CII A !L, but WAS prevented from landing with them, on acccunt of the quarantine. Mr. T. Mor r- I. EY, the tide-surveyor, however, with laudable aili vity, took out the dispatches, fumigated, and for. warded them to Lon ion. We mentioned some days ago the probability of the Russian squadron, which last summer sailed from Revel, being destined for the Mediterranean. From our port letters of yesterday, we have every reason to believe that our supposition was just, and that we shall soon have a strong Russian squa dron in our ports. Three ships of war of that nation, with a Commodore's broad pendant, have arrived at Portsmouth, and one arrived the day befllre in the Downs. These ships, we be lieve, will take in stores and provisions, and then proceed to the Mediterranean. It is rumoured in our diplomatic circles, that the Russian troops already in the Mediterranean, as well as 50,000 still on the borders of the Black Sea, were destined for Spain, to liberate that kingdom from Ftcnch tyranny. Though Bomar ART dic tates to the Cabinet of Madrid, his bandit:is do not occupy strong places ir Spain, as in Italy; nor do they spread desolation, as yet, from the very heart of the kingdom, to its extremities.— France is besides more vulnerable upon the Spanish frontiers than any other side; and is less fortified there than on the side of Germany, Italy, or the coast. Should this b.: the real plan of Russia, the capture of the Spanish frigates is an unfortunate occurrence, if not secretly and Willy permitted by the Court of Spain. The Ilainktrgh , :,:en of the 2d stated, that the king of I'RO►SIA had sent orders to his Ministers of State, flaron 11A ems cLec, and Count SCNOULLI41101:11011, to join His MAJIsTY at Pots dam. This circumsunce, connected with the arrest of Sir Gnomes RU At BOLD. and the presentation of a memorial upon the subject by our Ambassador, Mr. JaccsoN, to the Cowl of Berlin, has encou raged one of the inferior morning prints of yes terday to announce a change of politics in the Prussian C,bine.t. That this is nothing but an idle speculation, the whole history of the councils of Berlin bears ample testin:ony in every pa.4e. We have seen the King of Pa essi A a passive sp.!,!Ator, while the Family of OR •:GF., to whom he is so nearly allied, were driven from their country, strip ped alike of rank and property. The neutrality oi the lianse 'fawns and Imperial cities, which he was bound to prote&, has been violated by forced loans and requisitions, with impunity, at his very door. He has seen Hanover cover ed and devoured by a merciless banditti ; the constitution of the German Empire broken and destroyed ; and the horrid murder of the Duke of EKG HIEN, by the ferocious Corsican, not only with out resistance, but without remonstrance, or com plaint. Is it then probable, that a Prince, vho has swallowed such a mass of insults and aggressions under the most aggravated circumstances of provoca tion, will strain at such a gnat as the seizure of Sir G. Ito so eu ? The King of PRUSSIA has hitherto dis played nothing of the Don Quixote; and we must presume that he has undergone an entire revolution in politics and passions, before we can believe he has taken such a lively interest in the case of a British Charge des AlTaitess _ _ AVe have received, we believe, cxclusialy, some small French Papers up to the 29th, being one day later than those from which we lately gave several interesting extraias. The Swedish Commercial Agent, SIGPEUL, remained at Paris on the Cith. The paragraph, mentioning the recal of the Rus- SIAN AMBASSADOR from Vienna, and of the Au- STRIAN AMBASSADOR from St. Petersburgh, is, we believe, a mere speculation of the Paris Editor to keep his countrymen in good humour, under the circumstance of an almost certain rupture between France and Russia. ---....i.....•-. The Spirit which lately conjured up rebellion in Ireland, and 30,000 armed traitors on Leighlin- Bridge, in an evening paper, has not relaxed its laudable exertions, but only changed its scene of anion. A Morning Print of yasterday, under its in fluence, contains the following article: " ousuic, Nov. 2 " Several meetings of the disaffected have been held in t Counties of Carlow and Kildare, since Friday last. Nuinerod, Ada, its, assertiog this fart, have been sworn before the Ma gistrates in th,rsd parts of the country." That there are disaffeded men in the counties of Carlow and Kildare, we never doubted; but we do not believe that they have lately held g. several meeting," nor that any new symptoms of treason and rebellion have shewn themselves. This we affirm, upon the authority of many letters of as re cent a date as the above, from several respedable Gentlemen in that part of the country, and not from the Leighlin-bridge Correspondent. We shall take an early opportunity to expose the objed and views of these attempts to misrepresent the state of Ire land ; for they are not wrapped up is impenetrable obscurity. The Leighlin bridge Correspondent adds, " It is reported (I do not know on what authority) that Mr. TianNar is to succeed Sir Evar, N , as Chief Secretary, and that he will curve here alter Christmas." Now this report is, at least, four months old. The place was offered long since to Mr. TIER:CV( ' and afterwalds to Mr. VA SITT A ItT, and refused by both. Yesterday the RUSSI AN A'seASSADos transaFled business with Lord H.uiauwav, :It his Office, from one o'clock till two.

It is ge nerally believed, that our blockading squadron has quitted that station for the ss inter. If so, the ene my will have nothing but the elements to contend with in coasting from that port. Ihe dreadful malady, which produced such me lancholy ravages in Malaga, and other parts of Spain, has, it is said, in spite of all the measures of precaution, ext •tided its influence to Madrid. The utmost alarm is therefore said to prevail in that capitals and people were flying from it in all di. reflions. Not less than eleven servants of the Da nish Minister to the Spanish Coot t are aaeaed by tins ten able disordei, and that Minister has applied fur passports, in order to hatsLeir room is see** of impending debt: uftion. _~..
