His Holiness did not give, on the 18th, his ordinary, audience, because he was indisposed ; but on the 20th he had mass per ,, formed in the convent of his niece, .0n the 23d a detachment of . Sbirras (troops of the Pope), - discoVered on the heights of Fontana Tratta a detachment of Neapolitan troops, vhich they took for deserters, whilst others considered then') as brigands of a neighbouring state.--The Shi► rims, superior in number, attacked the ,Neapo litans, but the latter forced them to retire into the woods, and then made some prisoners, by which the error of both parties was discovered. MADRID, AUG. 5.--This capital enjoys the most perfect tranquillity. Conjectures are afloat as to what may be the conditions of our treaty with France.. There can be no doubt of the natural limits between the two countries.; but it is diffi cult to say what may be their commercial rela tions. Tho condition of our Colonies renders our connection with France and Europe much less ad vantageous ; the military glory we have achieved will - not he disputed; we have bought and dearly paid for it. ALGIERS, JULY 17.—The Government having received advice from its Admiral, that he had seen • off Cape St. Vincent, a ship of.the Swedish Royal navy', , and a' merchantman bound for this port, in conetittence of this information, the six Swedish vessels detained here have been set a liberty ; five of them sailed instantly, and the sixth will follow as soon as it can be provisioned. ROME:I - AVG. L—Some persons, who' from their station in the Roman Councils, may be esteemed. well-informed, confirm the report, that his Holi ness will -undertake a journey to Vienna, to dis cuss with the Allied Sovereigns the interests of the Holy See and. Religion. The. Pope, on the fete of St. Peter, distributed the usual Medal to the Cardinals and - Prelates. It bears on one side, the portait of St: Peter, I'vith the inscription " Pius VII. Pont.

King Joachim, it is stated, is reconciled -td Napoleon, and there resort to the latter many adventurers from Piedmont and other parts of Italy, but particularly front Corsica to Elba, as lie seems to . he in no want of money. On the other hand, Napoleon is said to be in triguing in Fraaee, by the aid of money, and to seek to excite cliscontent among certain classes of These we repeat as reports-which cannot be warranted as true, and w hid, perhaps have t i on ,(D or d ree h 4 little founda Courant, Aug. 13.)

CALCUTTA, DEc. in, 1313. By the lastCst native adviccs from the north west frontier, it appears, 'that the Scik forces were pouring from every quarter in the direction' to wards Cashmere. Runject Sing had himself pro ceeded to the banks of the Jhelun, where he is said to have assembled an army of nearly 50,000 horse and foot in the neighbourhood of Aitrunga bad. Mohukkitu Chund was to have the imme diate direction of this expedition, which was how ever delayed, and might probably 'tie postpon,:d. altogkher for some months, from an appreaen sion, that the mountains wou:4 at this season be impassable front the snow The. Hakini of Cash mere is said to have taken the'preeaution of Lioek ing tip and fortifying the passes. Mahmood Shah, the Sultan of Cabul, had set out, we are told, from that capital to Peshour, which was also threatened by the Seiks. And it was reported, that ills. Vizier-Tutteh Khan bad followed him, with what force he could collect. The' Piince Kalman remained 1 4 Canclahat•, having declined to comply with the invitation of Futteh Khan, to join lure with his forces. _lt is understood, that the, points , in diderence between the Rajah of Jaypore and the Rao Ra jah had been finally adjusted, through the inter ference of:the British Government. Money continued scarce at Canton. Some re mittances in specie, however, and bills to a con siderable amount, have been received lame, we understand, by the Indian. The specie consists partly of Boinbay gold mohurs, ‘vhicli had been carried to China in the Bombay ships of the last season. The Treasury at Xlacao was open fur bills ou Bengal when the Indian sailed. The.privaTte commercial accounts by this con veyance, may be considered on the whole as rather favourable. The price . of • opium, though low in comparison with that of former years, was never theless sufficient to yield/ a fair compensation to the purc h asers at 'flit first sale of 1812 7 -13. It is quoted) at 1030 dollar's per chest ; and conside rable shies had been effected on those terms. The report - of, the cotton ,nwrket is less satisfactory. The . finer qualities only were in demand! ; and a preference was given to. the. iMportations of tlte season from Bombay,' which had been disposed of in general at about 13 tale s,mace per pecul ; 14 tale was expected for the . Company's cotton, but no part of that had yet been sold. A portion of the Philippa's cargo, - from Bengal, had gone off so low as 11 tale 5 Mace per pecul ; and there was no immediate prospect of improvement in that de— partment of the market. _ - The country ship Admiral Drury, formerly of this port, but latterly the property of persons re siding at Batavia, had been seized in the China seas by his Majesty's ship Doris, and sent to. C olombo for adjudication. The Admiral Drury, it seems, bad taken sin a crew of American seamen at Canton, with a view of proceeding on a trad ing voyage to the west coast of America,. which being contrary to the provisions of the Naviga tion'Aet, the ship became thereby liable to con, liscation. The following is the additional account received from Colonel Adam, respecting the capture of the Ginn-me of Entouree "in my former dispatch, I estimated the killed of the enemy at upwards-of 100 men, the number . of bOdies altogether discovered amount to 131 ; several .wounded men have received surgical aid, and been permitted to return to their villages ; these, added to the wounded discovered in the neighbouring. fields - and hamlets, would, I ima gine, make the total loss sustained by the enemy in killed and wounded, amount to nearly2oo men, the greatest estimated strength of the garrison. " I consider the attack . and capture of Entouree,. at the period it %vas effected, peculiarly fortunate, as I have since received positive information •of a reinforcement of 400 men being 'expected ; to join the garrison by 10 o'clock on the day the place was invested ; 100 men belonging to Jugmohun Sing, of Owree, actually attempted to join Sur naid Sing al out S a. ld. but were -effectually pre vented by the disposition of our troops ; a party of cavalry was detached' towards this body, on whichr it dispel sed, and Wiis not again seen. " Since the evening of the 4th instant, 1 1111 7 vildar and 1 Sepoy have died of their *winds; but I and extremely happy to state, that the wounds received are for the greater part slight, and all are .doing as well as can possibly be expected." • • (Tell& writiousa-.4 soLzm Quls DICE/4.E FA t/DEAf ? LONDON, frEDNESD.IY, A UGCST 17, 1814. We have. French Papers to the 15th, from which we learn, that it is the intention of the•Petpe to proceM to the Congress at Vienna, to superin- Vend the interests of the Roman Church. A curious rencontre between some of the troops ot•lris Holi ness, who were never remarkable for excessive bravery, and others belonging to King MURAT, is recorded in an ►jrticle from Rome. The Journal de Paris thits ridictiles the fanati cal folly of the followers of Mrs. SounicoTE, which . we - really wish was put an end to, as it reflects a disgrace upon the Nation among Fo reigners. " The G °Les-mow:lies (sap-sculls) of England, are much engaged with a young lady, seventy years of age, who pretends to be pregnant, and protnii!es speedily to. produce to the,world the true Messiah. She is called Jeanne Southcott, and lives in a very tie ligiotis manner. An6ther Lady, who takes great in terest in the future destiny or t he' I nfent, has caused to be prep,lred for i;s receptioa a nvzgnificent cradle, &C. ; an imineusq crowd are in the daily habit of paying their homage to this New- ///677y."--Is it not a shame that we should be thus exposed to ridicule by the'proceedings of these Maniacs and Impostors ? A Dutch Mail contains some curious reports re specting- the Emperor of Elba and his Brother-in law, the King of Naples. These persons, it is true, are but the Ghosts of what they were ; but we sincerely wish they were disposed of according to their deserts, and then we should not be plagued with even surmises of their plottings.
