FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE PARIS CAPERS• _ I A PIN St? T. 5. A great sicknesshaving prevailed among the troops of the Italian Republic in garrison at the island of Elba, the Vice-president Melti has demanded and obtained permission from the Emperot to withdraw them. They are to be replaced by troop. expedad from the South of France. A report was current fast week upon the exchange of Marseilles, that the Emperor of Russia has ordered an embargo to be laid on all ships in th.. port of Odessa. It is concluded from this measure, that the Court of St. Petersburgh has determined to embark all the troops encamped in the vicinity of this place, anal who, some say, amuunt to 4O,0(10 men. What we know for certain is, that our go vernment has received no information of such an event, and that there are not Russian ships enough at Odessa to carry into the Mediterranean half the cumber of troops. — (Journal des Dctensemrs.) The extraordinary Military Commission of the Department of the Upper Po has condemned to death Antoine Belloni, as the principal chief in a Late insurredion. ieveral of his accomplices have received sentence of imprisonment in irons for six teen years. It is said that the emigrant Count de Relleval, at present the confidential %tnister of Prince Ypsi lenti, tie Ho-podar of Wallachia, and who has re sided here for near six weeks, has, in the name of his Sovereign, demanded to put this province un der the protrlion of the Emperor of the French, and to become tributary to the French, instead of the Turkish emp;rz. In the present circumstances, whin a certain posver is exciting the Turkish sub jets of the Grec'an church to insurreßion every where, this may, perhaps, be the only means of preventing Wallachia from those disturbances, which distrad the other Turkish provinces in Europe, as well AS in Asia and Africa.—( La Gazette de France.) We believe the rumours totally without founda tion, of another official paper, under the appellation of an Imperial Gazette, to be published after the Emperor's coronation. We think it more probable, that the Almat-se will be permitted to assume that title.—( jaeraa! de part;.) I,' They write from Rouen, that several Conscripts, of the years XI. and XII. listening to perfidiom, suggestions, have deserted their colours, and re turned in their houses. Some of them nad received anonymous letters, in which they were assured that the deserters among the Conscripts would not in future be prosecuted, and that therefore they need not to be uneasy, or hesitate to leave a career into which they had been forced. l'he prefeiß of the department, in mentioning these and other part malt', in an addr. ss so the parents and relatives ut Cniiscripts, informs them, that the laws concor::ing desertion will he executed with more severity than ever; and. the.vfore, warns them not to expose their children and themselves to dishonour and ruin. He tells them, tLat All thes: false reports, and se cret intrigues, are invented and disseminated by English emissaries, for the discovery of whom, he offers the most liberal re•.rards.—(Le Ve,iette de Roans.) The tribunal of the distrit of Mireco.irt had con demned di: Coinmunt of Attign7, in the depart ment of Vosges, to tivres d image, with m - terest, to four goo ertemet, dangerously wounded by the inhabitants of the vill.age Attigny, iii the discharge of their duty, by trying to arrest some Conscripts, who had deserte.l. `Eli, Commune had besides been condemned to ,2qo lilt re, t-)waids the Republic, with costs. The inhahitaia of Attigny appealed to thz Tribunal at Nancy, in opposition to the Imperial Attorncy•Gener.tl. T:ie principal means of these inhabitalts to have th , : sentence re versed were, that they reprled the law of the 10th Vrneirmaire (year IV.), ...cording to which they had been condemned, a. a revolutionary law, which, according to a former decision of the Coun cil of State, had been abolished by the constitution of year VIII. But the Tribunal regard:A the law of the Ioth fr‘mlefilai/i. :is a a•: , e one, without which it would be in:possible fhr the armed force to exe cute its orders, particularly with regard to the ar rest of Conscripts, every where protated, or concealed, by the ignorant multitude; and, there fore, confirmed the former sentence, with the addi tion of a fine of t u livres, and Gusts, against the in habitants of the Commune of A•tigny, for having troubled the Tribunal with gair appeal.—(Journal des TriGunartr.) A kind of mutiny has lately taken place among the girls in the Palais Royal, which has caused much amusement to our liedasidz or cockneys. The Prefeft of the Police, being informed of the inde cency of the dress, or rather the nakedness of the unfortunate women who inhabit this den ei i)ro stitution and debauchery, by a regulation posted up in the Palais Royal, ordered every woman, who did ant dress in a sloucti manner, to be witca up and sent to La Salpetriere, the horse of corteßion for prostitutes. The night after, the amaiturs looked in vain for fait companions in this P.dais— V•ey had all emigrated, and walked, almost in st; l u n , rhirit, upon the Boulevards, and in the ,treet: of St. Honore, La Loi, Vivienne, and Croix Peti:s Champs. As a punishment for this refraftory spirit, some of them were taken up, and carried to the prefeaure of police. This alarmed the others, but did not convert them to stri.l obedience, b.:cause they went from one extremity to the other. Instead of being almost naked, they invented a kind of dress called a sack (not of repentance), vi hich hung down so low, as to cover their toes and their heels ; while tied up to the chin with a capuchin over the head, which left nothing visible but one eye, half a nose, and half a mouth. In this kind of masquerade dress, the police permitted them to con tinue as long as they liked ; but observing, no doubt, by the decrease of customers, that few would be caught in their sacks, they have, by degreec, re turned, and assumed the dress of our modest wo men ; which, by the bye, is not very modest.— Jvvrrtgl der Spectacles.) FROM THE HAMBURGH MAIL. LIGHOILN, AUG. 20. Yesterday arrived here from Paris, a courier to the French General, who immediately gave orders to take an account of all the ships belonging to Russia, Sweden, and another Power, that were in this harbour. There were several Russian ships, hut only two Swedish. This morning the Ltrurian General La Rilletto, at the request of the French General, issued orders that no ship belonging to the above Powers should be suffered to sail. Tile French General has likewise placed a French pri vateer at the entrance of the harbour, And French soldiers in the guard boat which lies in the middle of the harbour. Etrurian soldiers are ordered on board the ships, which, however, may unload with out interruption. There are no Prussian ships here at present. LVIIIBURGH, SEPT. 6. Public notice has been given here, that all Eng lish commodities may pass free, both here, and in the whole H inoverian territory, provided they are not on English account ; it must, however, be. shewn by certificate, that they are on the account of the receiver, whose name must be insetted in each cer tificate. 4LOPENHAGIVS. SEPT. I. The Russian squadron sailed from the Road on the 306, for the North sea. The Cadet ship, the ViThre, and the Fame, have arrived from the Baltic in our Road. SEPT. 4. Towards the midile of this month the Russian squadron, trader Rear-Admiral Lenpmann, is ex pected to return into the Baltic from the North Sea. Should the squadron, while in the North Sea, find it necessary to go into a port, it will not put into an English one, but into some port in Norway. ZI.SINEUS, SEPT. I. On the 30th of August, three Russian ships of the line, tw•o frigates, and a cutter brig, arrived in this road from Copenhagen, which to-morrow will pass into the North Sea. THE liwurisn PRESS LONDON, TUESDAY. Serrzmscx 18. An Evening Paper of yesterday announces the receipt of Paris Pipers to the 9th, with the follow. ing intelligence : "Letters from Vienna state, that the faTeri 1 Citrf Casette, which used to style BONAPARTE /he new So.:ere:go ff France, nn the 23d of August, for the first time, styled him His Mejrary Napoleon the "BONAPIRIE arrived at Aix-la-Chapclle on the 2J inst. in the mottling. " A Letter from Genoa, dated 25th ult. confirms the fad of the Embargo having been laid on the Russian and Swedish ships in the hat bur of Leg horn, which had created great alarm among Corn mercial Men, and raised the price of provisions; but adds, that the Order Was reroked lays ,labs ante at was naloti,ha This letter from Genoa is in the PutS , ;ctire of the 7th, and a pert is copied into the Atini:eur of the Bth instant; but that part which re lates to the revocation of the Order for the Ern berg.) is omitted. It is asserted positively, that the Pore is to •ct out from Rome on the 2tith September for P.ois,, where he will take up his residence in the We have received a series of the M.nitesr to the 9th ; but, with the exception of the arrival of BON•FARTt at Aix-la-Chapelle, upon the 2J, they take no notice of any of the above pa.- uculars. The 4fonitestr of the Bth, which is stated to contain a partisl account of the, Embargo, does not I mention a word upon the subjeft. We believe the Ha A A ra..arz. _ C urrecp, :denten is the only au thority for that report. A letter from Berlin of tie 4th inst. states, that the privat.i correspondenco hotwem the Emperor of ReSSI A And the King of Psit:SSl A, which had been suspended since the murder of the Duke of ENO.. Ht cm, has bee❑ renewzd ; and that within the three last weeks, four couriers had arrived from and re turned to Russia, with no other dispatches than this imperial and Royal correspondence. To prevent the secret agents of But 4 APART es secret police from stopping and robbing these couriers, they travJ, both in Russia and Prussia, under the escort of light dragoons or hussars. BOtira Aat e's emissary at Berlin, LA loiter, is, however, not idle, hav ing attempted to bribe over a young man, lately made a private secretary to a p2rson high in favour at court both with the KING and QUEEN, but who, lot tunately, was trusted with no other secrets than tln.sse concerning the internal administration ; this attempt was discovered by the great expence and extravagance of his vktim, who is now shut up at Spandow. It is said, that the parents of this young man have made a complaint, in a petition to BoN A• P A RTC, of L• FORETN treacherous condo t, but tile answer of the Corsican is easily foreseen ; though this, and some other infamous and low in trigues of the Revolutioliary French Diplomats, cause him to be as much watched and despised at cum., as he is already hated in public. It is observed at Berlin, that the English, Russian, and Swedish ministers there, make a kind of coterie among themselves, and seldom see the other mem bers of the Diplomatic Corps, except when at Court. Even the Austrian and Danish Ministers are not often visited by them. By the French courier, ar rived at Berlin OR the 2J, Lt FURET received on two banking houses remittances to the amount of twenty-five thousand Louis d'ors. Dispatches of importance were, we understand , received yesterday from Rear-Admiral COCHRAN' off Ferrol. They were brought by the Naiad, which arrived at Plymouth last Saturday Alernoon, and which left our squadrun off Ferrol and Curunna, all well on the llth. The Naiad frigate, wh i ch i s arrived at Ph-mouth with dispatches from Rear Admiral C(iCHILA: , t:, left the fleet off Ferrol all well on the 11th inst —Mr. Fit Est, our late Minister at the CJurt of Madrid, came home passenger in her. Sunday morning sorne firing at intervals was heard at Dover; but in the afternoon it became e violent and continued. The weather was so hazy that the French coast wa. not visible, and the cause of the firing could not be ascertained. Dr. CIMIGFITON is upon the eve of departure with his Family, in consequence of his late rooint tnent as Physician to the Emperor of Rt ssi a. The Lisbon Mail, art ived yesterday, has brought accounts from the Mediterranean, which state , that the yellow lever has again broken out at Malaga. Yesterday, considerable detachment of tha Foot Guards marched to Windsor, in ordcr to do the duty of that royal residence, during the absen e of the Staffordshire Militia, now attendant on the King at AVeymouth. Mossizua did not set off until four o'clock yes terday nalning, with the Comte de PUYSEQUR, and bis Almoner Abbe Lart Tha Baron de Rot La ace .nipanies him to Harwich. The new levy of recruits for the army has bean ordered in the eastern parts of the Russian dorni• nions. The French emissaries here affed to regard this measure as a proof that the councils of the Turkish Divan have taken a direftion unfavourable to the political projefis of Russia. his Excellency, Mr. Fan's, our Ambassador to Madrid, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday aftern ion, with Capt. H ,in the Naiad. We susped that our relations with Spain have lately experienced some change, not friendly to the expectation of re maining at peace with that Power. It is rather re markable that the SPANISII AIIIIANADUR should have sailed from Falmouth for Cadiz within a day nr two of the arrival of our Ambassador from Madrid. The .Mar York Evening Post of the Sth mentions, that a Gentleman who arrived from Clutrleston had declared, that at the time of his sailing a consider able mortality prevailed in that city, and that up wards of twenty persons, exclusive of blacks, had died the day previous to his departure. 'I he arrival of the Leeward Island fleet and the trade from Demerara, has put the greatest pan of the British foreign commerce out of the risk of any d Inger from the rapacity or predatorial enterprise of the French navy. We understand that there are only ceo other important convoys, which are espeeteil in the course of this season, one from the West In fi-s. and the other from Bengal and Madras. Ace. r.l ng to the retort of a master of a neutral vessel, left the read last Tuesday, barracks are ordered to be built at the Helder, ar.d in its vicinity, sufficient to contain 25,000 men. it has been thence supposed, that the expedition from Hol land for England will not set sail so soon as was expeCted. Frei ch and Batarian Commission ers, who are inspeding this undertaking, say, how ever, that these barracks are only destined to con .. twin an army of Reserve, which is to follow the pre sent Gallo-Batavian army, when it has made Rood its landing ; an event which, they pretend, will not long be deferred, as they say every thing is ready, and only waiting for the orders of Bomar Aar*. ; in four hours after the receipt of which, roes the c2,:alrv, with their herack, will be embarked Large map,azines are collecting every where in North H illand o and it is expected that all the troops en camped at Ziest would in a week arrive there. Several mot: transports had been engaged; but the number actually in the Tezel am muted to no more than eighty-two, and the crews or Urea were sot complete. COPENT-OARDEN THEATRE. This elegant house opened, last night, with the popular Comedy of John Beil. a Ache Farce of The Former. Lewis, Mi. Emu,, Mr. BLANCHARD, St C. were received upon their se. veal entrances with the most unbounded applause. The part of Delude Brastraddery was sustained with much spirit and humour by Mr. Roca.-- Fi r st impressions are, however, always str ongest . an 1, perhaps , it may be owing to this circumstance that he seemed inferior to Mr. JoHNSTONE. Th e house looked very brilliant, though it has not re c.tived any new embellishments. Indeed, no erpen ee has been hitherto spared to make it complate in ele gance and convenience. It was, therefore, only ne _ cecsaty to refresh the colours, and to restore diem to their original brilliancy. ORIGINAL POSTR r. HOW TO MILE THE GOUT FROM THE FRENCH. BY OLD NICK.
