' A respeEtable State, whose large pos . - sessions have been divided among other Princes, is to be indemnified in those quarters.. The, Dusseldorf Journal mentions an account being received from a place in Westphalia, that a very large. transport, of cannon bombs was in motion ,from thence fora po- sition behind the Weser.

ITALY, AuG. 4.—When the Prince of 1-IssE PHILIPSTII4I., received his wound at Gaeta, he was carried at first to his own honae ; but as the French _ directed their bOmbs particularly against that house, the Prince went on board an English Frigate. When he was infokmed of the caPitulation of the plaCe,-he declared- that all the Officers. who signed it' deserved death. SWABIA,. AUG. 6.--Not only the town of Lindau, -hilt likewise Augsburgh, will he strongly fortified. '• As the . latter City, however, is of great extent, it is intended . merely to draw lines of circumvailation which shall command the Lech and the Wertach. With these will be. conneeted -the strong post, the head of the bridge Over the Lech, at Friedbuigh, short league from Augsburgh. . Behind.these lines a ''whole army, 'in case of necessity,- might be drawn up. To fortify the whole City of ...kugsbUrgh would require a prodigiotis army. AUGiBURGI-I, AUG.

L 0 N D ON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 180 G. THE Munturgh Mail clue on Saturday last:arrived at a late hour last night; also Paris Papers to .the P..2d, And Dutch to the 26th irtst. The intelligence which they contain is of an interesting nature. r. ! rhe accounts from all quarters concur in stating, that the Y.ING of Paussr4 is making the utmost, exertions to place his Aerny upon a formidable footing ;, and it is also said, that the ELECTOR of HESSE CASSEL has also put his Troops in motion.. In addition to other en crOachments of the French, • it is now stated; that MONAPARTE has required the cession of East•Frieslapd and of Embden ; and that the KING of PRUSSIA is determined to : resist this demand:. We place very little reliance upon this temporary show of spirit on the part of his PRUSSIAN' MAJESFIT. After, what we have seen, it would be the height of folli_to pe any thing like firmness or consistency in the Ca binet of Berlin. If W.., KING of PRUSSIA were serious, l y determined to e4tricate himself from the disgrace, ful as well as clangerons ,situation in which he is n9w ' placecirhe,#!ould have distnissed that man from his Councils whose pernicious advice. has reduced T•tus sia.e.from the" elevated sittiation . :in which she stood, and placed her almost at the mercy of France— We mean Count HAUGWITZ. Indeed the great number of Troops that BONAPARTE' continues to pour into the South of Europe,. is a proof that he does riot ekpee - t, at least. immediately, any serious dispute with His PRUSSIAN MAJESTY. It is not. yet Certain whether Cataro has been de livered up to the French, but the surrender of that im portant. place will not now 'satisfy BONAPARTE : be has denianded from Austria the cession of that part of the Duchy of Carniola which bOrdera -upon the .Adriatic, .and also the cities of Trieste, Fipme,. and /Zeng. :.The objeel of this demand' is to contle& his . . newly acquired possessions in Dalmatki with Ve nice. This new demand the Cabinet of Vienna will'probably be forced to comply with. There is reason to hope that the Wound which the gallant Prince of riEssn PHILOPSTEIAL received at' Gaeta is not mortal.. When he heard of the surrender of the place, he expressed the utmost in dignation, and declared that the O! leers who sign ed the Capitulation deserved to-he banged. The In surgents in - Calabria have become so formidable, that: MASSENA has .been obliged to march against them with 25,000 men. • No Messenger bad arrived from Franee when this Paper was put to Press.

Those Vessels were a part of the Fleet under convoy of the Isis, 'of 50 guns, Vice-Admiral Sir E. GOWER, and were some leagues a-head of her, so that the Yeteran and /sis 'were not in sight of each .other during the capture, Which, perhaps, was a fortunate circumstance for young JEROME. = The date of the capture is not mentioned,tutthere seems to be no reason to doubt the aceuracy . of the_ intelligence. It is farther stated, that Admiral GUILLEAUMEZ'S Squadron,- of which the Veteran formed a part, separated purposely, in order to set to France with greater •facility and. secrecy, finding they were so a&ively pursued by the Squadrons of Admirals COCHRANE and Sir J.

Her intelligence is of a very disagreeable nature. She made one of a . Fleet of 'twenty-two sail which left Quebec, under Convoy of His Majesty's Ship - Champion. Three of that number were Trans ports, having on board the tith Regiment of Foot, consisting of four hundred and sixty-seven men ;'the other .Ships were Merchantmen. On the 15th in stant, seven of the Convoy parted at different periods of the day; and on the same day they fell in with a strange Siil,which, when within four miles oftha Champion, not answering the private signal, it: 'was intimated to the Ships of the Fleet to disperse. It was shortly discovered that the strange Ship was att .enemy, and a Line of Battle Ship. She was obierveti to board five sail 'during.the day, which were set on. fire'. .Aiiotber sail was distinguished to leeward, bearing S. by E. which had also the appearance of a Mait of War, and as a fire was discernible in that direction, she was also judged to be an enemy.—Tho Osborne has part Of the Oth Foot on.-board.
