FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ,Vutt4NA, JuNit 26.- - It is considered as a good sign that the negociations for peace proyed prisperously, and probably will be soon brought to a desirable conclusion, that to-day the silver service. w It, sent to the Minister of State, Count All ea. It' is ,said that diplomatic persons have litien ointbd on the ptirt'of the'l3elligerent Powers, as of the atediitiug :Court, From Austria, Count Alettt‘roich ; fr(A France, the Duke of Vicenza . ; from Russia,: Count Stackelherg ; frOm England,' the late Hanoverian , Envoy to this Court, Coat Von Etardenberg ; and from Pros sia 'Baron Von flumboldt-L-to lay ti solid basis on which the who negociation for' peace may rest. As soon as this. shall, be don*, the two armies will leave .their new Coneentrated..position, and occupy a wider space. The. report circulated here isiime days since, that , Count STAMM,/ would resume the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is not confirined. ' (c)ueen tA' ROLA NH Of SICILY, Ainit of 'his Ma. , jesty the Emperor of ATISTRIA, has already' arriv ed at Constantinople, on her Way to The movements of the'troops'in , the vicinity Of Vienna still continue. LEIPSIC, JutiE Excellency_ Count NeTTFAINIcir, Austrian Minister fir Foreign Af fair+, arrived at Dresden on the 25th. This is consid e red us a fortunate omen for Peace. ItEFLECTIOXS ON THE IDEA OF A CONGRESS FOR A. PEACE, „Inserte'd in the Petersburg% Gazette of the 17th (29th) o: .3 Lte, from the Konigsberg Gazette. • " Now, when all the Powers of Europe which retain their 'independence, unite together to' set hounds to the hinuoderation of France—now, that , •it is determined that the subjugation of the Con tinent of Europe shall cease, since the nations arc ' awakened—now, When France cannot, without rendering herielf ridiculous, repeat - to ' England that. she is Sovereign of the Continent, and, tHeretore, may quietly .wait the termination of the British maritime power—now, when the nul lity of a separate peace is apparent, and the obsti- . navy with which one war after another has been waged, is exhausted, the voice of peace is heard, • and the French Dnperor, proposing. a 'general Congress for Peace, - concludes an' Arinistite to pin an end to the efision of human blood ; and while he speaks the sensibility, •Seems desirous to have it believed that 'he has had part, in producing the misery which, during the' last ten years, has afflicted Europe. " Few believe in the sincerity of such a pro- , posal ; they cannotsuppose that any thing else is Intended but' to gain time. For OM' own part we must conlOttsx that we differ in opinion. France is now obliged to carry on Otto war , from tier own MOUTOPIC: - )4nimr-- . .tlic Power cOntinne it and Napollton; t he Amadei. of a new dynasty,. must heap aucriuces on sa crifices, c' The theatre of the war extends from the Tagus to the Neva, and from the ,Danube to th e • Frozen Ocean. Spain has for f!ve. years past been changed into a desert, and only an open grave for the French at . inks. The piles are yet smoaking on which, in , the. plains of Bolivia, the bodies of more than three hundred thrinsand French warriors, the flower of Western Europe, were consumed to prevent the pestilence. All the colonies of France are in the hands of England, anti no means remain of recovering them 'by force. Spanish America has detached herself from the mother country, and reserve her resources for i her own use, regardless of the warn ing orthe -French.' Minister to beware how sh e 'yields herself exclusively to England, The whole hiropean world is in commotion and refuses to lend itself:4o an influence which has caused all its , • unhappiness. Under such circumstances the wish for peact is natural, even in those who have to thank ,tlje war for every thin... lint how shall this wlsCbe gratified. A Con.; • gress for a general „peace shall he assembled at Prague, at Which shall appear, on the one part, the Plenipoteutiarics of Ft:tnee, those of the United ,States of,,Amorica, Denmaili, the King o f Spain, 'uncl all the Allied Princes (unquestionably -of Gerinany) ; on . the. other part, th e • Plenipotentiaries of Englatia, Russia ; Prussia, the Spanish Insurgents,,and the other Allies of these Belligerent tiowets . (among which, doubtless;, Sweden ii to be reckoned. It is added, , that these principles accord with the views of Austria. " It consists with the nattqe of ,tbingi',„ that if Europe should ever enjoy. a peaee, of some length in its duration, it cart 'only be,the.work•of a Con gress, and cannot be Trochiced by such negoela ttons ats these ,of Preslnirg, 'Tilsit, and Ilienna. '.)[.'iris, 'however, must be the fir at question„ Who 41141 he admitted to this Congress - • E' If the French Emperor can procure an ad mission to it for the Plenipotentiaries of the Unit ed States of America, it is difficult to sity , Why the Turkish Emperor . , the King ,of Persia, am) the Itepublie of Spanish America, should not' be ad mitted ? , e Th e p o licy of the United States is essentially different front that of the European , States ; and if they are for the moment involved in the swat' which France carries on against England; their inte rest, therefore, can only be the general Interests trade 5 and they can have nothing to do with a Congress for Peace, held at Prague, than merely to prrple3cand protract the negpciations. "It is still umra remarkable, that the Plempo tent holes til the, Spanish Insurgents shall be ad-' lititted, together with' those of Thirty .foseph.— Ilow have the ttio then tiny r thi ng rli cnnim o n ?

From the places under French influence, the theme is the prolongation of the Armistice ; while from every quarter }sappily exempt from that Muse, the voice a tla people is only to cry aloud for war, vengeance, and independence. This is peculiarly observable in an admirable demi-official article, which we have extracted from Petersburg]) and Konigsberg Gazettes, and which clearly Masques the 'tone of feeling and, the poi:tic:al objects which prevail in the States of our illustrious Al lies. There is a firmness, a determined resolu tion and inflexible spirit, on the part of our great coadjutors, In all that reaches us from the seat of war, • wh'sch cannot but ipsplre 'the best _ . [lopes and expectations. Nor is it in .11,nssia and Vrussia only that IT the eN,istcnce of, this and salutary .principle —it pervades the whole Continent—Germany, however, ,held do‘4l by the presence of the French armies, longs to be free as Spain, nod pants for revenge. Nor will that brave and itidiginint people tequirc to con. mil their feetinp,s for a much more extended pe riod. lb, the„Nortla especially, Acre i now a force which is soilicient to protect and reinter safe their rising for liberty. At Stralsund, the Sivedkii fOrce alone is said to be 3h,000 strow4, and as fine troops aft ever took the field; To these, are to be added at least 50,000 other troops of various denominations. Russians, Prussians, Meeklenburghers, and Germans of all parts. At Berlin and in the neighbourhood there are 40,000 Ruitslans and Prussians : and about :30,000 of the tandwehr are to• Join the army. !eshles these, giso, there is the Lomisturill, liieli is exercked twice a week, but with pikes nnly. such arc the preparutious made,. or ,mak tog, uh what may,be: esteemed the flank left wing of the main war. The grand-Allied Army that mast first be opposed to the progress of Et..<- NAPARTE on the Oder, if hostilities recommenc, has likewise been greatly . atigmented ; andle last tidings from that quarter gave an animatd de,cription of the zeal both of the soldiery and ,f the surrounding population, The submission of Norway, Avhich we antii• - pateti a month ago, seems about to be ir .complished, and famine, we lament to add, is tie powerful compeller of this event. We lammt this, because we sympathise in every tnisfry brouglit upon a people by the misrule of dose who ought to devote themselves to the ume grateful task of communicating happiness to . tleit subjects. There is an idle paragraph, under the hei4 of Vienna, relatiVe to the Ambassadors expected to be employed in forming the bitsis (only the htsis yet) on which the contheting pk - wers may treat,— The better part of the attiele is a t . umour of the return of Count STADIW.; to the Foreign 31inbtry' of Austria.
