Fr" FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. lIAMBURGH MAIL. GrNOA,II:NE 8. The Austrian Imperial Envny bore, Baron von C;usti, has delivered the following Note to our Minister for Foreign Affairs: " The Untiertigeet, klinitter Pleninotentiar and Envoy Ex traordinary Item the Emperor of Germany and Austria. te ceived yesterday evening, the Nme, in which Senator Rogeir, the Minister for Foreign Alain, ha. informed him that the Ligurian Senate has revolved on the union of the Ligurian Re public with the French Rmpire, and that tisk Retolotion ul.l be immediately carried into execution, a DJputation haring been sent to His Majesty the Emperor in consequence. The Government halt, at the same time, thought proper to civil's , the motives that have induced it to annul both itt old and new constitution, and renounce the rank it ha• hitherto main- rained among independent States, to unite itself to another great Power. I have also been given to understand that my mission to the Ligurian Government is at au end. I will not examine the motives which have led the Senate to take this step : in this case the Senate is the licit judge, and the objcft is of sufficient importance, since it relates to the existence and well-heing of a State. But with respect to the termination of my mission, this entirely and aloes depends on the orders of my Emperor, and, till I receive these orders, it is impossible that I should consider my mis,ion as terminated. I shall, therefore, ea soon as possible, transmit to my Court the Nrdte delivered to me, together with the decree of the Senate, that I me; receive directions fee my conduct. I cannot doubt that the Ligwoa•t Government will, in the mean time, acknowledge the inviolahllity of sty persor, and defend the rights of the Legation against any attack I !rape to find here that protec tion which is due to the Austrian and German Nation, and I expect that the Austrian Coiniulate for Commercial Affairs will @amain on the footing on which it at resent exist•, agreeably to the law of nations.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE. 10. After the French Cabinet Secretary, and First 'lnterpreter, M.

The Pasha, th refnre, earnestly solicits reinforcements, and repeatr the represmtatioas he bad frequently before made, that the most serious mischief, and probably the lass of Egypt, must be the consequence, unless tic Arnauts were speedily paid, and recalled hnme. Immediately on the receipt of this intelligence the Grand S;gni , ,r held a divan, the result of v.ll:ch was, that the new Captain Pasha was ordered to sail, without loss of time, with the ships and troops that were ready for Egypt, to support Herdrschid Pasha, and to assure him that larger reinforcements should immediately follow. In consequence of these orders, the Capitan Pasha bas got ready for sea, 3 ships of the line, 4 frigates, .2 corvettes, and a number of transports, on board of which he has taken a quantity of artil lery, Soo artillery-men, and about I'2oo regular troops 1 and will today sail for his destination.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, MONDAY. limy U. We are still without any accounts from Lord NELSON mote recent than those brought by the Ca riettx. The Hamburg 6 Mail due on Wednesday arrived at a late hour on Friday night, with Letters and Papers to ill* 13th instant. They contain the answer of the Austrian and Imperial Minister, Baron ♦ON Ge EST I. to the Nate of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Ligui tan Republic, apprising him of the conso lidation of that country with France. The Aus r rtt AM MINISTER says, until he receives instrtuclions from his Court, ha cannot take notice of such a change, and claims the prote&ion due, by the Law of Nations, to him, in his diplomatic capacity, which the LIG': 111 AN MINISTER, in his reply, promised he shall continue to enjoy. It is stated in tile Foreign Papers, that the Glo riosa blew up in an engagement with some English frigates. We have received Dutch Papers to the 14th, and several Paris Papers, but none of a later date than the 9th.—The French Journals announce the ap proach;ng return of BONAPARTE and his EMPRRRIs who were expeled at Fontainbleau on the 14th. Marshal BtaTHIER set off fur Holland on the 7th, but was espeaed to return in time to meet the Exesaoa. When we first announced the intended journey of Count S eHR..R.IIIIXIIO, the Imperial Minister, to Vienn.i, we understood that his mission was of a political nature, for the purpose of arranging a sub sidiary treaty between this country and his Court. 'I 'is later circumitance, however, we did not think In per for publication. We have been since assur ed, eiat it is loot fouiscled in Lift, and that the disposition of the Princess S rA:leass urea, his mo ther, was the cause of his mended journey. We are also assured, that the journey will not take place ; 11;i Excellency having since received letters suiting 6.: recovery of the Pit tNC ESS. We stated on Saturday that an engagement took place on Wednesday night, off the French coast, be tween some of our cruisers and a squadron of the enemy's light flotilla. We have since learned the hdlowing panic:ll4ls of this affair :—The enemy's f nee consisted of three praams, forty brigs, and twenty schuyts, amounting in the whole to sixty three sail. This force had been colleCted at Dun kirk, and took advantage of the easterly wind to en deavour to make its way to the grand depot at Bou logne. For this purpose they put themselves in tnot'on on Wednesday morning, and crept along sh•tre and reached Calais, where they anchored close under the batteries. In this operation they were attacked by some of our cruisers upon that station, but without much effect. At ten o'clock, on Wednesday night, they weighed and stood as close as possible, along shore, for Bou logne. In the mean time, the number of our cruisers had greatly increased, and every disposition was made to impede the progress of the enemy. The firing commenced at eleven o'clock, and con tinued until half past eight on Thursday morning. N arly t.csshukof our Boulogne squadron was assembled upon the occasion ; but, owing to the state of the wind and tide, and the shallowness of the water, our large vessels could not close the enemy's sufficiently to do them much damage. The fire, notwithstanding, was the most incessant and tremendous, that ever took place between our cruisers and the Musquito fleet. The whole French coast appeared a blaze of fire, and the report of the cannon, cars led along by the easterly wind, was as loud as if it had been upon our own shore.— Amidst all this annoyance, the enemy, however, made way, and, upon their approaching Boulogne, a formidable force came out from that harbour for their proteiffion. It •onsistcd of 64 luggers, 4S brigs, and several other large vessels. They spread themselves out in an expanded line along shore, and commenced a brisk fire upon our cruisers. Thus favoured and assisted, the divi• s ion finally succeeded in its attempt to reach Boulogne. The engagement comrti:need at about sill miles to the eastward of Calais, and continued • for about an hour and a half, until the enemy had reached Calais roads, so that, from the cornasepce ment of its voyage to its arrival at Boulogne, these was a firing of five solid hours. In this conflict the enemy suffered considerably. One praam was sunk, nine of the smaller were driven on shore, and two schuyts were takers, one of which was towed into the Downs by the GriOn cutter, and the other was left off the Goodwin Sands on Friday night. Of those driven on shore were two schooners. near alaneness, which some of nur cruisers expea.ed to be able to silstroy, but thirty pieces of arfillery were with great coped: ion brought down to the ►hore to reps , ' the attack, wlfich, aided by a great slumber of troops upon the beach, prevented our boats from ap proaching them. Of our vessels, which were engaged, we understand that the Immortahte frigate, which has so often distinguished her self upon similar occasions, had four killed and right wounded ; the Ariadne frigate, one killed and three wounded ; Hr be frigate, four wounded; La Fleche sloop, four wounded ; and the Calypso sloop, seven wounded. Among those severely wound ed are Captain FOSTER of the Cat . tpre, and one of his Lieutenants ; and a Lieutenant of Marines on board the Ariadne. This result, however, must not make us think the French Flotilla less contemptible than it has been hitherto regarded. The damage which we sustained was principally occasioned by the incessant fire from the batteries on shore. Saturday evening, Mr. PHIPPS left London, to attend HIS MAJESTY at Weymouth, for a day or two. A second Messenger was sent off on Thursday evening, with dispatches to His MAJESTY. at Wey mouth. On Saturday, the Rusci AN Au eassarme trans adled business at Lord Mut.° R va's Office, from two till three o'clock. The Kim° has been pleased to appoint CHARLES 81.

Mr. Yost's' will probably. in this case, retain his situation as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The successor of Mr. Vaastrr•ax has not yet been fixed upon. The India ships at Falmouth will sail as soon as an account shall have been received of the ailual state of the combined fleet. if it shall appear that there is no probability of encountering it on their voyage. The Persok.et, ALLEONAM, from London and Poole, for Leghorn, is captured and cartied into Alseziras. fhe Surprise, Capt. Revamps, from off Ferrol, is arrived at Penzance. The French and Spanish force in that harbour is now ascertained to amount It was supposed they would put to sea the 'first opportu nity, and run for Corunna Bay, in order to give our squadron, consisting of ten sad of the line, cruising off there, the slip. A new Military Road is about to be formed from the Barracks in Northgate, near Canterbury, to lead from thence into Bond-street. On Wednesday the line was marked out in the presence of General Sir D. Dun DAS, and will be proceeded on immediately. It is also said to be in contemplation to build an ad ditional range of Barracks in Mead's Fields, dire Elly opposite to the rear of the present Infantry BAP. racks ; and when these are completed, the several detached Barracks, in.diffcrent parts of the city, are to be given up. To-morrow, the l3onrnbridge Volunteer Corps will march to Newmaket, on permanent duty. for 12 days, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel .lone WyLoe, of Trinity College, Cambridge, lately promoted to that rank, in consequence of the resignation of RICIiAIiD Get aves Towtsxy, Esq. The Cambridge Volunteer and Rifle Corps, amount ing to 1000 men, will do duty upon the heath, at the same time. The Americans, to their infinite honour, have tri umphed over that petty African tyranny, to which the several states of Europe have so long submitted, and supported by their inglorious and impolitic sub sidies. Accounts from Messina, dated the Ist of June, communicate the following interesting intelli gence: "Colonel EA Tom having landed with a body of marines, &c. from the American squadron in Egypt, advanced into the Tripolitan territory, and after some severe contests, in which he was /minded in the arm by a musket ball, and in which many of his people fell, he carried Demo and Bengasi by assault. The Tripolitans, alarmed at this success, immediately made oVertures of peace, pro - prising to liberate Captain BAINIIRIDGE and the people of the Philadfriphio, &c. Colonel LEA% is gone to Tripoli in the EJRCI frigate to negotiate with the Bashaw ; and the Constitution and Visca have been sent to Tunis to enforce on the Bey a better observance of peace than he has of late seemed disposed to adopt." A Letter from the Camp, Epsom Downs, July 19, 1805, •fhis evening. about four o'clock, Capt. Hoot), aid-de-camp to General Gctoevateoc, arrived on the Downs, and announced •he :nten lion of that Officer to visit the camp in tl::ficourse of the evening. Abort seven the General ari ivcd, accompanied by his Lady, and was tecived by Colonel Axeoce at the head of his , Regiment with a general salate. General Gaosvanoa dismount-if and examined the men, their arms, and in the most minute manner the encampment, particularly the tents, &c. of the I men ; and expressed himself in the highe-t terms of satisfiriairin at the healthy and dean appearance of the whole; that he considered tlie pound very jadi ' cieusly chosen, and the tents admirably arranged. He begged the Commanding Officer not to consider . his visit in a military point of view, being out of his distrift, but that he chose that opportunity of chew- I ing his reset f fir the Corps, from their stria atten.
