iy sieve's o'clock at bight, time was felt is this, pzi re tusecussion, followed by a vOy toed maid sharp idti' port. This was heard 'siert, with oalt . stisval *bout half an hour between each report. The cause was at first thought . to bra ari- earthquake: , but as the sound proceeded from the resat, (for it, was almost a dead calm ; and the litth; wind there Was, came from the S. or S.W.) and as several French and English vessels had been seen upen the . coast, between Cette and Aigurmortes, some per sons ascribed this phenomenon to the explosion of a great quantity of gun-powder. This conjecture is this day coufirmed by intelligence, that two Vessels • which had gone shore near Avesquieres, had been set on fire stud blown up at the time above-men tioned. It is remarkable that the explosion should have been so distinctly heard at Nisines, consider ing that it is ten leagues from the cos.t. We are in anxious expectution of the particulars of this event." The b per Cents. with dividend from the 224 of September, are at 80 r. c. • The English papers have published a letter from Adjutant-General Stewart to the Columatidant of the 49th regiment, in which, by command of Sir Arthur Vitllesley, he presents that regiment will stand of French colours, said to have been taken b; it from the french in the battle of Talave-ra. Upon this letter the Moniteur has the following pate : " Our troops hare no colours; they hive only. The regiment from which the colours weie takes is not owned. This part of Lorj We toles dispatch is false. The pretended spoil made by the Eoglish io the battle of Talavera. is contra dicted by the administration f the park of artil lery, so far assegai& the cannon, and, with respect to the eagles,by the adiniuistrations of the diffartilit corps. This, therefore,'is nothing more then a falsehood invented to amuse the kuglish people." Cardinal Fesch continues with His Majesty at Fontiiinhleati. A Council of Ministers was held - there on theist, at which His Majesty presided. We hirn from a Vienna Newspaper, that the Archduke Charles continues to reside at 'reschen, with his uncle, Duke Albert, of Sase-Teschen. A i stet from Strasburgh, of the 2th ult. says : .--46 Several squadrons of the 13th and 14th regi. 'meats of dragoons have arrived here. They are en their march for the interior of the empire. We have . not hitherto seen any it.fantry corps of the French army in Germany." General Roy, who orgatlieed tie different legions of the National Guards at Antwerp, has returned to this capital. The peace r , cciitly concl u ded has been an- Bounced in all the prii.eipal cities on the Conti nent, amidst the scu; nil of cannon, and every de monstration of general rejoicing. At Vienna, Mu- Stutgardt, Frankfurt, Naples, home, Flo rence, Milan, MadAd,,l4:c. as well as in Paris, illu litigations have taken ['Lice. A hundred millions of men have taken part in this general festivity, end celebrated it with marks of public satisfaction. The Fnglish alone regard it with astonishment and consteruutiun. They have recourse to velum- Ilk! against that Power, which they have urged newly to the brink of deatroution ; and the uuuts teeial papers industriosuly propagate the nation that the hands of Austria are tied tip; that the peace is compulsory; and catmint be of !obi dura tion. •It will last too Tong fur them.

Duitioneeau to His Majesty, dated the lot inst. from his heed-quarters at Goes:— "Setts:-1 have the honour of still being enabled to trans mit to your Majesty the most satisfactory lutelligeuce with regard to the cosidnet of the Dutch troop* ; tad also the state of &fence of the most important points in the different islands of this department. From every information that I ran learn, it appears certain, that the views if the enemy are cNclusively confined to the town of Flushing, nail that all the accounts of then having received reinforcetneuts arc unfounded. On the contrary, the enemy's force iu that qupr. ter rather seems to be reduced ; for, in the course of last week, upwards of 700 sick were embarked (nom the island of iValckrien fee 'teem'. The maladies which prevail among the enemy's troops are decidedly to be ascribed to the climate and season ; and it is therefore hut natural to 011- Chi at, that they should equally affect your Majesty's troops; though, on the other hand, the great attention of the me dical department, aid every possible assistance In the Royal Hospitals, have been attended with the happiest effects; se that, is the comae of last mouth, nu leas that 11,525 mates were slinks:Tad from the hospitals, and rejoined their re spective corm" From a return of the same date, transmitted by the Mcshal, it appears, that there still remained in the hospital six officers and 799 men sick, 804 officer and 595 on the list of couvulescents. The latest accounts from Vienna contradict the report of the demise of the EinpreAs of Austria, but add, that she continued dangerously ill , and hid been conveyed in a litter from Totis to Buda. The Archduke Maximilian hai been for some time at Buda,seriourly indisposed by a nervous fever. sruTOA RD, MT. 27. --- -.- The Mince of Neufchatel cud Wagram, with the general staff of the army, were still in Vienna on the 23d.

The eleventh corps, ithich lately formed the army of Dalmatia, resumes its fernier po,itions. pis heed -quarters eel he at Llybach. The resignation of the Art:Linke - Charles still occupies the intention of the people of Vienna. It is generally thought that his bad state of health, and his regret at the two which attains took, werc the causes which led him to resign his functions; still it is thought ti. • no consideration whatever can induce him to resume them. AUGSBURG, OCT. 25. The Commission Extraordinary est•Glislied at Constance to inquire into th e cause o f thedisturb mace% in that quarter, have needy brought their labours to a close. It is rumoured that the molt will he found extremely important. Thu provisional government of Saltebtrg have adopted every means in their power to induce the irilerslAtants of the high lands of that province to lay dawn their arms. Their efforts have been most ful. In spite of the poojeets of certain chiefs, who have sold themselves to the eternal ene mies of the continent, the revolted districts have snbraitted to their lawful government. The pa rishes of Val de Stil, and those of Piotzgau, have sent deputies, and are giving up their arms. la some of those districts the enemy's agents have been apprehended. The district of l'iutzgau has spon taneously delivered-up its - liy orders from high authority, all the Austrian deserters and Tyrolese found in those quieten are sent, in custody, to Salt:burg, cud thence into Bavaria. Some detachments of the Prince's corps hove crooked the Sitlza. and penetrated to Krum dial on the frontier. •Rile Tyrol. The rest of the Bavarian corps were to follow, as soon as every thing was quiet iu the territory of fio!tzburg. NUNIcb, OCT. Q 4.

The Gazette, of Saturday night, contains an ne. count of the defeat of the Frst:ch co.,* that ad vanced from Salamanca, to attack the Spanish army, under the Duke DEt. P.innue, stationed on the heigLas of l'amanies, which cover the import ant p , •'itiou of Ciudad Rodrigo. Coloni.l aoh's letter, communicating these details, is very clear and explicit; but we are sorry to end, that %Tittle it acknowledges a victory achieved by Spa. nish prowess, it throws no little blame upon the cavalry of the Spanish force by which that victory was achieved. Pour Coswes, much as he has been calumniated by the partizans of Lord IVELLINOTON, the hero of Talavera, always did ample justice to the gallantry of his British auxi liaries. Here we bud the Spaniards alone, with out British, or any other allies, obtained a splendid victory", yet Colonel O'Csuaoh throws blame upon a part of the Spanish army, by which it was ac quire:. Now, if the present Ministers were ever capable of suppressing, qualifying, or colouring, a single paragraph, in any dispatch, we ask, whe ther,- at this particular crisis, it woold not have been a " pious fraud," " a splendid 'lie," to have omitted the censure contained in Colonel O'Cialoh's letter, giving an account of !lie splen did victory obtained by the Duke Dal. PAR"'S corpsover that which advanced to Tummies ? This French corps is stated to be that Ltely tinder Marshal Nay, and now commanded by General M•RCUAND. NET, one of the best officers in the French service, we ■re aware, lately *snit with his Staff to Madrid, where he concerted a plan. of the ensuing campaign with King Josectt, and from Madrid. he proceeded to Paris, where he has amend to arrange with NAN/LION a plait for Me final reduction of the Spanish Peninsula. We mast rejoice in every success obtained by the Spaukards; but it is a fraud, to call the corps which advanced to the attack on Timmer, amounting to less than . 12,04)0 men, the army of Marshal N It coed be oily a detachment from it. A Gentleman arrived on Friday, from Rotter dam, reports, that the English fleet in the Medi terranean has intercepted a French convoy, from Toulon to Barcelona ; ruptured the convoy, and drove one French ship of 80 guns, and one of 74, on shore. which the French themselves burnt, and a fri gate.which must he lest. This report is very probable. We have been fur some time taught to lielieve, that the Tuuluu Flvet ineditotod an attempt to ►elieve &acetone, and that Lord COLLINGSIAInD was watt:hint its sautiatis. An article in the Dutch Papers. from Nimes, near !Marseilles, mentions that several vessels were a,ett off the' Fiend) coast. in the very line from Toulon to Barcelona and that tau dreidfol explosions were beard in that' guarter, on the 46th of October. They were pro bably occasioned by the blotting up of the tire ?mach vermeil, driven on chore. ?hi% bestrer..!l mere coniecture.--If airy such aCtiOa has Salim Owe off Toulon, our account of it must conic cis , . caitoubly by sea, and u,.uy days , may elal,.e t ie r r ,, e we receive it. We have received Dutch papers to the 9th inst. —We find from them, that the promise made to the French troops ernploysil in the late casupsio, namely, that they should not be sent to Spam, is to be kept; but this indulgence is all:ailed. thew at the 'expense of unhappy Germans. ARthe quae of the less embers of the Rhenish League have re• ccived a route for Spain. They hive, however, made' but little progress as yet : a few cavalry paah,l through Strasburgh, on the 99th ult. but no infant' y had then reached it. Two great Convocations are to meet, at Paris, before the middle of Decernher One, of the Members of the Confederation of th 4 Rhine, Lowther of the Cardinals. The form:, it probably called to witness the apportion's:tit of the Tyrol and Saltxburgh ; the latter to sanction tho deposition ofthe prevent Pons, and the olcration Pt` Cardinal Fiscu to that dignity. The King ai SAXONY was expected at Paris in a few days. A Gottenburgli Mail has arrived with letter.' and Papers to the 4th instant. Centre!

Several of the inhabitants of Gottscher and Meet ling lately committed some outrages upon the Ita lian soldiers quartered there. The greater part of the inhabitants had no share in those excesses, though the rioters maltreated those who refused to join them, and even burnt the houses of some of them. A proclamation by the Bishop of Laybach, • detachment of troops, end, above all, the happy tidings of peace, speedily suppressed those seeds of discord. The inhabitants of Gottscher are • soli of savages, who speak a dialect unintelligible to their neighbours, and who are considered Ity the existing Government . as a very refractory set of people. j3oth parishes have been disarmed.—The Nobility, possessing estates .in that disteict, have been directed to assemble at Laybach.
