eIItEIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE LEYDEN GAZETTE. NAPLES, AUG 13. Ling Joseph Napoleon, who set out on the 4:}r hat. for Calabria, continues to adopt measures, on the very spot, for the pacification of that province, so unhappily convulsed. His Majesty has, how ever, absented himself for a time from the theatre of the disturbances, and came for two days to trans- r: et business in the capital. He arrived at Naples en the Bth, and set off again on the 10th, to rejoin the corps of the army which he commands in per son, and which is encamped at Pietti and at St, Laurence. Meanwhile Generals Regnier and Mas sena have effected a junction at Cassano and Castro vellari, after having both entirely cleared the pro vinces they traversed cf the rebels, by whom they were infested. The projected landing of the F.ng lush has failed. Farther Calabria has made much more resistance to the instigations of the ringleaders of the rebellion and of the English, than Hither Ca- labria ; the former will consequently be treated with much greater lenity. The most refraCtory of the in surgent distriCts of Calabria have experienced all the rigour of the laws of war, and of some places a ter rible example has been made. Among the towns, that or Garigliano has been mentioned as having been consigned to the fitmes, in spite of the efforts of the French Generals to save it. The rebels have been every where abandoned to their wretched fate by the English, and by these who kindled the flames of insurrection, from the coasts of Sicily. The junEtion of the French Generals, Massena, ltegnier, and Verdier, leaves die enemy no chance of success. It is said that the advantages obtained by the dif ferent corps of the army, are so sierisive, that out of 30.000 French, who were on their march for the Itingdom of Naples, by way of Ancona, 20,000 have received orders to halt and to fall back. All these auxiliaries had already been rendered useless, and even those that have been accepted, are ro ger necessary ; but they may serve to SATe the effusion of blood, by commanding a more prompt obedience. Among the other mesas of repression, employed under these calamitous circumstances, is the establishment of four extraordinary tribunals, for the purpose of trying individuals, guilty of climes against the security of the state, and the pub lic tranquillity. The Royal Decree, relative to this sew Institution, is of the following tenor : Joseph Napoleon, &c. fce. with the advice of our Council of State, we have decreed, and decree as follows:- 1. Feu, extraordinary tribunals shall be emitted, to take special cognizance of the crimes enemeraled in the Fourth Article. it The jurietction of each of these tribunals shall be sera. rate from the other . , and is thus dote. mined, • a.

The day before yesterday we enjoyed here a magnificent spettacle. A French squadron, com posed of five ships of 74 guns, and one of 84, one frigate, and two schooners, passed our port, and was followed, in halt an hour, by an English squa dion of four ships of the line, three•frigates, and a schooner. As soon as the French *ere opposite the island, they formed in line, and waited for the Eng lish. Every body thought a battle inevitable ) but it did not take place. The English, seeing the manttavres of the French, got to leeward. and stood off to sea about two miles. The two squadrons remained in this Fosition till thren o'clock, when the Eaglish bore away to the South, and the French to the West. An officer was seat on shore from the French squadron with dispatches, This officer said, that they had waite with imps tience for the Eaglish squadron, and h had nts doubt, in Case a ►attle had taken place, that it would have turned to the advantage of the French. He likewise stated, that had it not been for the approach of the Engli.h squadron, M. Jerome 80. naparte had intended to come on shore. CARLSRUHE, AUG 10. We have, this mament, receive) the important intelligence, that the M Prince Alcsaoder Berthier, Minister at War, has teaneroittedfrom Munich, to the grand French AtisyV the order of the Emperor Napoleon, to take the •teeestary mea sures lot the return of thtiv teems ps their =tier country. The great movemea:, are to begin in right or ten days. It is stated tjlet the ceps pf commanded by Maishal *Ws, will pass•thro.igh the Duchy of Baden. We shall like.% ist see part of the heavy cavalry defile in oar vicinity. • Arrimg4. menu for the sapply of these troops, during their march, will be made along the whole mate: The depot which w-ne traversing our country to join the army, as well, as the convoys of artillery aid ammu nition, will not continue their mirth. A consider able train of artillery, which was to rave been conveyed to Ulm, is already returned to the left bank of the !thine to the eavironsof Spaie. The Austrian prisoners, who ate still in the do minions of Wirtemlterg and Baden, will be formed, according to the orders that have just been publish. ed, into columns of 401 men, to return to their homes by three different routes. French Commissaries will dire their march, which will take place under escort. Ihe Austrian officers, who, conformah:y to the anthori,ation ut the Minister of War, Ptince Alexander, were resident in Suabia, will accoms pang these prisoners, and provide necessaries for them. They are furnished for this purpose with considerable sums, which have been sent Irons Vienna to Augsburg, alai have been :emitted to them in part, by the bankers of the latter city. PAILS. AUGUST 20. M. Merian, the first Burgomaster of Basle, in his quality of Landamman of the Swiss Confe deracy, has acquainted the Go►ernments of the Cantons, in a letter dated the 13th of August, with the manner in which the Emperor of the French received the presentation of a letter from the last, Diet. This letter was order ed to be presented to the Monarch by M. De MaiHarsh's, the Envoy of the Confederacy at Paris. He req•rested, for this purpose, an au dience of His Imperial Majesty, who granted it, and received him with great kindness. His Majesty made many inquiries relative to 6wit rerland t and the Helvetic Envoy availed him self of this opportunity to recommend to the particular favour of the Monarch, the Ems, troops, who were formerly in the service of France and Sardinia. and are now in a de pinrable condition. The Emper..: m.tde some lbservatiors to M. de Maillardnx. relative to the law ot the lag Diet, for the proh:bition ot English merchandise, which the Landamman declares to be of such a nature, that he con siders it his Jetty to urge in the most pres.• sing manner, the compiler execution of that law. • M. de lsietian aids, that the accouaLs re- ceived by him from the Helvetic Envoy, at Paris, are such, that he thinks he may conclude, With conidence, that all the reports relative to the future destiny of Saitaerland, which bade been circulated every where abroad, and have likewise reached that country, where they have caused More or less uneasiness, are nothing out conjedures destitute of foundation. wrier., 406. 30. For some days workmen have been emplolied,with extraordinary aCtivity, in the ere lion of new works, in the island of Buderich. The plans relating to the extension of the fortress, are very extensive. When they shall be all executed, this place will form !•ut one town with Buderich, situated on the left bank of the Rhine, and also with the island of the same name, communications will be formed by means of bridges. Budeticb will be surrounded with four bastions, and another separate work ; the whole combined will form one of the strongest military places ih Europe. rams, SEPT. 6. The alarm at first occdsioned at Lisbon by the sudden appearance of an English squadron in the Tagus, seems to hare subsided, if we may give credit to letters from the Portuguese capital, dated August 20th. As yet, the real motive of the Eng lish for entering that river is not known with certainty; it is, however, imagined, and not with out foundation, that their objea was to watch the return of a French squadron, but that they have been deceived by false intelligence. Hanna, city ! IQ. A company of Dutch sappers, at present in gar rion at Bergen-op-Z , orn, has received orders to re pair to the camp at Zeist. for the purpose of pre. paring it to be again occupied. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, THURSDAY, SEP111:411CI 16. We have received a series of The Leyden Ga7elte, to the 13th instant, from which we have made se ver-Al tetrads. The latest account from Naples is dated the 14th last. It contains a decree izr the purpose of restoring internal tranquillity, which thews mire clearly than a volume of evidence, the Lf„.med and perturbed state of that unfortunate vino!) y. Several parts of Calabria have been laid wasre by fire and swcrd ; lint as these gleans have not been found adequate to the end, the mild and .merrefed Justin has called in the aid of secret tribu. • nals, to upply tl.e deficiency. He has established a cruel and sanguinary Inquisition, and the loyalist, liltho has escaped the Ire and the stwatd at the mi. litary, is thus reserved to endure the agsravatoel horrors of a mock tt'al, to be butchered in cold blood. A letter from Cailsruhe, • of the August, repeats, in the most specific terms, the receipt of an order for the return of the grand army to France, and . of the Austrian pristine!, to their respdtive homes ; but, although we find other ar. tides of a similar import, we cannot believe that, in . the present state of the Continent, nom se•ars riously intends to evacuate German;.. Gaeta hat fallen, but the PRINCE, Will so bravely defended it, will ever prove an 0: jolt of interest. A letter respelling him, from Rome, to the fol lowing effeo, has been received at Philipstlaal :—" A person of veracity, belonging to the suite of Prince Lewis of Hesse PHSI IPSTHAL, his arrived in this city. H. left the Prinee on board an English ship on the 20th of July, at which time his surgeons had declared him out of danger. The French ea tered the fortress so abruptly, that all the Prince's circa, could not he removed, and his carriages and horses were sent off toNaples. The reports circulated in some of the Newspapers, that he had thrown a female into the sea, that he had stabbed his valet, killed his adjutant, and kept by him a dose of poison, are unfounded. The garrison of Gaeta consisted principally of galley slaves, who deserted in great numbers In the sallies. The few soldiers were partly of the third battalion, and partly raw recruits, unfit for every thing, and especially for a sally." It blew a violent gale from the North, on Sunday night, which. we fear, has done much damage. A letter from Liverpool, dated on Monday, contains the melancholy intelligence of the loss of the J►iug George packet, of and from Parkgate, for Dublin, on the preceding night. The King George had upwards of 10 passengers on board, all of whom, with the crew. except three or four, are said to have perished. This melancholy accident is stated to have taken place near Hoyle Bank, to the south of the River Dee. The letter from Liverpool, containing these circumstances, was received yesterday at Lloyd's ; and, as far u we have been able to learn. is the only authority. The relation did not yesterday receive implicit credit, but we are concerned to state. that some of tine circumstances relied upon by those who doubt the report, have not much real weig::t.- Imang these, the alleged number of passengers has beca urged, as e.:ceedalg the astral quota of a Lark. gate packet; but it mast be remefritered, that this season of the year, the steerage of th. P 4,1 , 84 and Liverpool packett is filled with Irish labourer; upon their return home from assisting here in r k= thering thebarvest. We have atso'reason to berre:.4 that the storm of Sunday night was felt, in a oa: culiar degree, off the Lancashire coast. tt; Rigby, DONALD, from Liverpool, for the 'West is on shore near L;verpool ; and the 'wags: letter which reports the loss of the Kind adds; that it is feared the Tipps Sna, fr3vii vaionth, has Suffered a similar fate, in the blersais, on the same night ; as a writing desk, and part ;if log-book, with the Tipfra Saib written upon le, tve4 picked up in the river Metier, on Monday a . titi: noon.
