ROM TIJE FRENCII DUTCH PAPERS• PAS'S, SEPT. 17. A letter from Strasburgh, dated Sept 10, says : —" Intelligence is received, that Prince Murat will arrive here this night. A &tachnient of dragoons has been sent to Stuttheim, to wait the arrival of the Prince there, and to escort him to this city. His Highness will take up his abode at the Hotel de Deus-Pouts, as soon as the arrangements making there shall be completed. " Our city will be visited during the residence of Ilis Majesty, the Emperor, here, by many foreign ers of distinetion. Many Princes of the German Empire are expeCted. The Etc:.tor of Baden has dire led extensive apartments to be engaged for him at the Hotel du Saint Esprit. The vast number of persons that an to attend the Court, the Ministers and Generals, are to be lodged as well in the public edifices As in private boasts. The troop, that are to form the garrison of our city, are to be disposed part'; in baracks, partly in the houses of the citi :vas. The Imperial C;:iard is to be accommodated s the quarter of St. Nicholas : the hews •s intended for this purpnse are putting in order." General Augereau has arrived here sick, from w f‘' f Brest. It may be recolleeted, th:t the musicians et France, about a year ago, procured a medal to 1)c struck in honour of the celebrated Haydn. Hie rned4l was delivered by them to M. Cherubini, In spettor of the Conservatory, when he set out for Vienna ; and a private letter, jast received, infuins as, that this composer has presented to the Patri arch of modern music , the o f f er in g of the Fie h if a rt ist:. This letter likewise meat ons, that, on e ceivi:lg the medal in question , H a yd n Was dee ly affedled ; and in order to do honour, in nis torn, to the worthy interpreter of the sentiments of the Conservatory, he sat down to play a volun tary on the piano-forte. His first touches ap peared excellent ; but the old man's ideas soon became confused, and he was obliged to desist. " Come," he cried, with an air of vexati on, " I have nothing left, but to die," and tears ran down his cheeks. It is is unnecessary to observe, that this scene made a powerful impression on all present. VAMDURCIFI. SETT. IL . They write from the Russian frontiers, under the date of September g, that the Generals Prince Ban gratian and Von Winaingerode, have departed for the army. The latter is said to have carried orders to the General in Chief, Ktitusnf, to advance into Austrian Poland, which he is said to have done, at the head of a 0,000 men.

The troops on their march from this cnuntr y to the Rhine, are proceeding with the greatest speed : those which had halted one day at Nymegen, are allowed fourteen days to reach Mayence, being only permitted to halt one day on their way thither. General Vignolles left Utrecht on the Ilth inst. ; and General Marmont the same city, on the 14th, for Mayence, tee head-quarters of his Excellency were to be in complete order against the 2sith inst. It is stated in several Newspapers, that orders have been sent to Hanover, for all the troops in that Elec torate to march for the camp at Zeist. Two companies of the Ist battalion of the 4th regiment of Saurian Infantry, and a company of Artillerists belonging to the Life Guards, have marched into the Briellie from the Hague. leakier, si rr. 10. The French General Dssroc, Marsal of the P a lace, who arrived here on the Ist of this month, still con tinues in this city. His departure seems to depend still on ulterior* orders, which he expels from his Court, to which he has transmitted an Account of the first result of his mission. Since the arrival of M. Duroc at Berlin, the Prussian Cabinet has adopted resolutions of very great importance in the present conjundure. On one hand, this Cabinet was to have addressed to the Courts of Vienna And St. Petersburg!: fresh representations, tending to the support of the peace of the Continent. On the other hand, it was resolved to put in motion a considerable p no of the army of the kingdom, to the number of fOO,OOO men. The Royal Orders on the subjed have been already dispatched to the corps of the sh:ferent armiea which have beep chosen to form this force. These arrangements have countermand ed the grand autumnal inancuvres, which have usually taken place at Potsdam. Two Russian offi cers of distill:lion, the General of Infantry Bencken dorf, and the ivy Counsellor Stackelberg, are amongst tie foreigners lately arrived in this city. AVOSSVRO,IEPT. 6. There has been a talk, that Prussian troops were abort! to assemble in Franconia f . but this intelli gence is destitute of foundation. 'liaises of peace are still cherished, notwithstanding all the hostile preparations of Austria. COLOCSZ, SETT. a. On the 3d, the first division of the Army of the Coast, 10,000 ;teen strong, passed through Mons ; they have, for the most put, proceeded on their march for the Upper Rhine, in carriages, over Luxemburg and Triers. No more than 30,000 raen are said to he left on the coasts. All now depends on which party can first occupy Suabia, and afterwards Switzer land ; for it seems that the die of peace or war is al ready cast. PlAPitt% AUG. 13. No new shocks followed the tremendous earth quake of the 26th of Jely, and the public mind be came somewhat more tranquil. Within these few ♦ys, however, a violent noise was heard in Vesta-• vies, which indicate) a fresh acenecof horror. The inhabitants of the towns of Torre del Greco sad Annunziata, situated at the foot of the Mountain, fled with thoracic valuable of their property. Yes terday, about half past nine o'clock at night, an ex tremely violent eruption of Vesuvius took place, from the crater which was opened in the year 1794. The lava quickly spread over the plain, to the dis tance of four Italian miles, and proceeded towards the sea, which it reached about three in the morn ing. It divided, at its origin, into two branches, oue menaced Yorti.i, hut fortunately turned off again, and united-with the other branch ; so that the fiery stream formed a kind of island. ii.t.,the spot where it discharged itself into the *ea( suddenly arose a promontory of volcanic matter. The whole of tee distrid covered by lava, wet tit a flame for twenty minutes, and exhibited an awfully magnificent spec tacle ; the blazing trees, horning with a white, and the lava, with a red flame. When the river of lava reached the sea, it began to foam horribly, and vast whit Is of water and fire, produced by the two con tending ele.nents,. were preitetted to the eye of the spenator. Many of the inhabitants of l'ortici saved themselves hy water; bat the place remained un injured by the lava ; though its current passed so near it, not a single persorircijsbed. The damage str.fained by the vineyards from the torrent of lava, is estimated at 600,000 ducats.— Many naturalists ,are of opinion, that several pro vinces of the kingdom are entirely undermined, and that they will consequently sink at some future pe ria•.l, and be overwhelmed by the sea. . . ••• sb:ervation; upon the , g.irug betwegn the Arun' the Bourboog, age unavoidably Ilerenta 1.01 Tyr . ►RITIS 'REI 1,f)N1): ). ;, WEDNESDAY, 4retemsnt 23.

Mss same arrived At Milan so long since as the Sth last, to assume the command of the French Army in Italy, where he will find a powerful opponent in the person of the Archduke CHAR LE", at the head of the Austrian Army in that quarter.
