Atio. 113.—General REGN lER has formed a junc tion with General MA SSENA, at Casano and Castro villari, after having both of them entirely purged the Provinces which they marched through of the Re eels which infested them. The King returned on Friday to. Naples, after be ing absent four days on his journey to Calabria. On Sunday his Majesty set out to rejoin the Division of the Army which, he commands in person, and which is encamped at Vietri and St. Laurent. The dis embarkation which the Enemy hoped to effe& has failed. Ulterior Calabria having better resisted the insti gation of the Chiefs of the Revolt and the English than the Either Calabria, will be treated with more mildness. The insurgents have been punished.— Amo•igst the towns may be cited that of Carigliano, -which was delivered to the flames, in spite of all the efforts of the French Generals to save it. The re bels have been abandone 1 to their fate by the Eng -11,h, and by those who caused the insurre&ion. The junction of Generals MASSENA, REGNIEII, and VERniER, will leave nothing to. the enemy but the remorse of having employed culpable means to se duce the poor inhabitants of Calabria, and occasioned their ruin. - It is said, that of 30,000 French, which were on their route for Naples by way of ,Ancona, 20,000 have received orders to stop and retrograde their march. All thew succours were useless ; those even which we expe& are not necessary, but they may serve to save an effusion of plood, by.commanding a more prompt obedience; they will convince the in .credulons of the inutility of. the efforts of the ene mies of that order which is now happily re-establish ed, and of the blitidnesS of those .who would sacri fice themselves to th.: senseless fury of individuals, who, seeing • from afar the peril, care little about their viaims. • His Majesty has created four extraordinary tribu nals to try individuals detained in the different pro, vincial prisons for state crimes. • General D'ESPAGNE has been appointed to the command of the three Provinces of Laboure atxl the two Principalities. HAMBURG!!, AUG. 25.—Deputies from Lubec aryl Firemen have arrived here, but they hme not 3 , 2! Tsnay.'d any public charaCter. It it stated to be ni attion to for.o a new Hanseatic Confederation, t,) establish Superior Tribunals in the place of of the Germanic Empire, which no longer e:;:st. This object, impoctant to all the States, is still mol-e so to the commercial cities. This Con feclerntion will want support. We shall soon know Wjie is to be its protector. mteiligence from Stralsund leaves no longer env doubt of a reconciliation liav;ng been cifeCted, and some persons assert that this reconciliation leads to ulterior projects relative to arrangements medi- tate. , d, and inovements which are to take place in the North. Several letters .state as certain the raising of ;Le Swedish blockade before the Prussian Ports, and add that every thing announces a perfea union between these two Powers so lately enemies. This reconciliation is tar from being looked upon here in a good point of view, and gives rise to reports of War, whether true or false, which have been in cir- culation for some days past, and which gives birth to numberless inquietudes in a City which can only subsist by Peace. 114,mm), AUG. 20.—The Viceroy of Peru has communicated the following intelligence : The Ship Joaquina, belonging to the trade of Lima, and commanded by DON DOMINGO LIbA LDE, ha taken an Enemy's Cruiser off the Harbour of Callao, in a rnarinjr most glorious for the Spanish flag. 'The English Brig Ante/ope, from London, commando by Captain MoßmocK, • with five Prizes-she had taken in her cruize off Montevideo, h4d escaped from the pursuit of the Frigate Assump tion, which was shipwrecked eagerness to 'cliacecinting-A violent tempest. The Antelope, for . the purpoSe. of increasing her captures, pass id Cape Horn : she was armed with Co carronades, 12-Pounders, and 6-pounders, and abundantly provided with am munition. Cabo being the centre of the commerce Of those seas, was the - objet-t aimed at by the Eng lish. '..che Joaquina sailed from Montevideo, with a cargo of 150 negroes she was armed with fourteen 8-rouncleri, and two howitzer!. On thee of Oetober she observed the Antelope coming down upon.' her, which, upon recognizing the Spanish Ship, ,poured a whole broadside into the joaquina, when within pistol-shot, which was answered by the latter, the crew of which board ed the English, and : hove out their grappling irons. The fire Of musketry continued very briskly from the decks And. tops of both vesselS, for three hours, and the darkness of the night added horror to the scene, when at last twenty-eight Spaniards leaped upon the deck of the Antelope, and decided the vic 'tory with their sabres. The English had fifteen Men killed, among whom are the Captain and his Mate, anti sixteen mortally wounded. The Spa niards had only four killed and fourteen wounded. LISBON, AUG. t.--The last letters from the Bay of San Salvador and the Brazils contain details of the Expedition of Captain L'HERMITE, which must give pleasure to every Frenchman. This brave-Sea man has carried off or destroyed more than 40 Eng- J'sh Vessels on the Coast of Guinea. He has sold their negroes at San Salvador, and set out on another crnize. 'PA HIS, AUG. .e6.---We are assured that the Etnpe;- ror . has declared to the Courts of Europe, that the Territory of the Rhenish Confederation is to be deem ed inviolable ; and that no Detachment of any Fo retn Troops can be admitted to pass through' it un der any pretence whaterer ; and that any transgres sion of these conditions cannot pass unnoticed. It is said that Prtissia, Brunswick ; and Hesse- Casel, have joined the Northern Confederacy ; that Denmark has refused ; that Saxony has started difficulties, and wishes to remain impartial and per 7 fealy independent ; and that the Free Cities bf Harnhurgh, Lubeck, and Bremen, which Prussia would willingly see in the COnfederation, by , the desire of France, Russia, and England, are to re= main independent, under the protedion of a:1 Eu rope. The wife of Marshal AUGEREAU died at her house 'at Houssaye, twelve leagues from Paris, on the night of the 20th instant. It is reported that the Chargo d'Affaires of the Emperor of Russia to the Diet of Ratisbon is to pub lish a declaration, in the name of his S4ereign, ac- knowledging the Confederation of the Rhind. It is supposed that he will be accredited to the Prince Primate. It has been remarked, that the Emperor of Aus tria, who was formerly stiled FRANCIS the Second, is now called FRANCIS the First. The following is the reason of this alteration :—The reigning Em peror of Austria was FRANCIS the Second only as Emperor of Germany, reckoning • his predeteisor FRANCIS the First, the husband of MARIA THERESA. That Prince never possessed the Hereditary States in leis own right, and consequently the Austrian Mo narch is really the first of that name. of Hose has concluded :1 Convention with ti.e Prus than Court. The French Troops stationed along the Saxon frontiers are estimated at 30,000 men. BERNE, AUG. 18.—it is reported that Switzerland will likewise join the Confederation of the .Rhine. ' VIENNA; AUG. 16.—We expe& here immedi , ately the new Russian Ambassador, Prince Ku- RAKIN, who has hired provisionally in the Singer- . strasse the Hotel of the late Count DE COLLOREDO, Cabinet Minister. This Ambassador is in posses sion of an immense fortune. The Count Ds RA ZUMOWSKY has obtained permission from his Court to settle at Vienna. The transport of cannon, mor tars, and, in general, ofall warlike stores, continues without intermission. • The Bank of the Danube, near the Bridge of Kazumowsky especially, and with reason, attracts the notice of the curi ous , b o th Of the capital' and the country—for 'it appears at present like a military post, in which a great war like Expedition is preparing : but be not alarm ed---motwithstanding the outcries of politicians, no thing is intended but to empty the arsenals of the Capital, and form the new depots of arms near the capital. One of these depots will be in &the 'ilia, another in Galicia, and the most considerable in Hungary. The • Danube, which traverses the latter kingdom, renders it easy to convey, in. the space of a week, all the military effeett which may be necessary. BERLIN. AUG: 28.!--The Marquis LUCCHESINI, Prussian Minister at Paris, having requested his re , call, General KNOBELSDORF, appointed Minister to the Sublime Porte, set out yesterday for Paris, to take place of M. Dr. LUCCHESINI. The Prince of NITTGENSTEIN ; Minister of his Prussian Majesty ateassel, arrived here the day before yesterday.— His sudden arrival has given occasion to several conferences, which give reason to presume that a more close alliance will be formed between the two Sovereigns. Baron DE HAENLEIM is going as Minister to .Dresden, to confer with the Electoral Minister on the subje& of the organization of a Plan . for the North of Germany. The Courts of Berlin, Dresden, and Cassel, are aCtively employed in com pleting this great Plan. Major-General DE PFUHL has been sent by his Majesty m attend the Duke ofBRUNS . WICK, because the indisposition of the latter prevents his repairing to this capital, agreeably to the invitation he has re ceived from his Majesty. The. march of the troops still continues, and it is remarked that the exchange of Couriers between Berlin and St. Petersburgh is more active than ever. Couriers are the bearers of letters*written by the two Sovereigns with their own hands, who recipro cally. give to each other assurances of the warmest friendship.—Prince LOuts FERDINAND of Prussia pill command the Army assembled in the environs of Magdeburgh. ___ Mare assured that Russia will not ratify the Peace concluded with' France, till the latter Power snail have given certain explanations which have been requested.--(Aheille du Nord) BANKS OF .THE MAINE, AUG. Ig.—All the ac counts from Calabria and Apulia announce; that the Civil War has extended its ravages generally through these fine Countiies. Travellers who have arrived from Russia assure us, that from St. Peters burgh to Russian Poland various camps are formed, and a great magazine established. All the ac counts from Southern Germany agree in assert ing, that the march of the French troops towards Lower. Bavaria .continues without interruption.— There is no longer any mention of the departure of the Austrian 'Prisoners of war from Upper Swabia. On the 19th of this month the General of Divi sion, LAMBERT, will 'take possession provisionally of the City of rianktbrt, in the na'rne of the Emperor NAI ()LEON. HAMBURGH, AUG. 24.—Several Couriers arrived here from Lubeck have brought advice, that the King of Sweden has ordered the blockade of the Prussian Ports to be raised. The latest advices from Berlin contain the same intelligence,which was made known there on the return of Lieut. Colonel KRUSEMARK from Griefswald. AUGUS'; . . 26.—Private • accounts received here from Berlin state, that the assembling of the French troops on the frontiers. of Saxony has excited much astonishment in that capital. They are supposed to entertain designs against Magdeburgh.; but that place is well garrisoned, and supplied with pro visions for eight months. On the 1 Gth the French were so close to the Prussian frontiers, that or ders had been issued to pull down part _of the suburbs, and the fortress of Magdeburgh : in Si lesia the whole Army had been ordered to hold itself in readiness to march. The fortress of Ha meln has also , been supplied with provisions for eight months. THE HAMBURGH MAIL. NAPLES, AUG. (S.—The Italian 'Gazettes repre sent the state of Calabria as most deplorable. It is true the richest and principal families have remained faithful to King JOSEPH ; but the common people, it is said, are every where in insurrealion, and com mit the most cruefatrocities. It is asserted, that the Bishop of Cozenza pas been - crucified, and piereed with lances, till heexpired. The crime imputed to him is, that he went out with his Clergy to meet King JOSEPH on his arrival. They put to- scleatli,- -with tortures, a;i the French Soldiers who .fall into their hands. General REGNIER has declared, according to the same Gazettes, that he is not able to under to .n; thing against these Rebels before' the ar rival.of Marshal MASSENA. General STUART IS. in Calabria, ,with a Cotps of 8000 English, among which there are 1500 Scotch. Great numbers of the Insurgents have joined him ; but he has not been able' to restrain their ferocious barbarity. Unfortunate Calabria experiences all the horrors of War. The unhappy situation of. this Province has induced King JOSEPH to declare it in a state of War, 2.-.3d to exercise towards the inhabi tants all the rigour which justice and. the laws will permit. The following is the Ordinance published here relative to this Country : Calabria is declared in a state of war. 2. All Civil and Military Authority is vested in Marshal MASSENA. 3. He is- empowered to appoint Militat i y Com missioners, whose sentences shall be carried into execution, without appeal, in 24 hours. . _ 4. The Troops shall be maintained by the Coun tries in insurreaion. b. The estates of the Rebels shall he sold for the benefit of the Communei which maintain the Troops. 6. Those convents whose Superiors do not give information to the next General, what Monks be longing to them have taken up arms, served as spies to the Enemy, or excited the people to insurretlion, shall be shut up ; those of .the Monks who are above 70 years of age shall be transferred to other convents, and the rest banished, and, if they return, be punished with death. 7. Those who have estates and have left the Kingdom, and have not availed themselves of the perthission to return, but wait the issue of the re bellion, shall be considerei as enemies to the State, and have their estates confiscated. 8. The National Guards called out in the provinces shall receive, so long as they are in service, the same pay as the Troops of the Line. g. Whoever does not belong to the National Guard, and yet does not deliver up his fire-arms, or other forbidden weapons, shall be punished by the Military Commission with death. 10. \Veil-disposed persons shall be indemnified for the losse's they may suffer from the Rebels. T. Those Communes which shall deliver up the ringleaders of the Rebels shall be exempted from all contributions. JOSEPH. ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 12.---The Imperial Ukase relative to the Troops has now appeared : by it the Army will be increased to nearly 600,000 men. On the frontiers there are 150,000 men. MA GDEBURGII, AUG. 26.—Our Garrison sets out the day after - to-morrow. The Regiments from Prussia and Silesia are already on their march. Magdeburgh is now surrounded with pallisades ; the spirit of the soldiers is excellent ; they are eager , to fight. FRONTIERS OF SAXONY, AUG. 24.—Besides the Elector of Saxony, it is understood that -the Elector MAILS. " AleA I v an-2 Harnburgh, t Dublin, 2 Waterford. DUE--3 Gottenburgh, i Dublin, z Waterford.

LAST night we received a regular set of Moniteurs to the ist inst. And Dutch Papers to the 31 st ult . The Hamturgh Mail due on Sunday also arrived. We have made copious extra&s from these Papers, which will be found to be of the highest importance. The most interesting article of intelligence to which we have to call the attention of our Readers is the refusal of the EMPEROR of RUSSIA to ratify the Treaty signed by M. D'OuBRIL at Paris. When the terms of that Treaty were made known, we stated our opinion that the Russian Minister had exceeded his instru&ions, and that the Treaty would not be ratified. That opinion has been confirmed. On the arrival of M. D'Ouarin. at St. Petersburgh, a Grand Council was held, consisting of the following Members : The Baron Ds BL:Dasac, Minister for Foreign Affairs. . . The Pritwc L A PO (Atte rat, Minister or Justice. The Cotnte Ka.rctio,ullE Y, Misaistel• of the Interior. The Curnte:LA VA DOFSIC Y, Minister of Public Instrudion. The Comte VASIL/ Er. Aiintster oethe Finances. The Comte Rot ANr zo F Minister of CommerCe. And Cencial VASMITINOFF, Minister of the Land Forces. The .fEMPRROR attended the Council in person, and uponi its breaking up it was officially notified to all the foreign Ministers.resident in St. Petersburgh that the Treaty would not be guided, and M. GROS -IIOUSKY, a Knight of Malta, was sent to Paris to announce his IMPERIAL MAJESTY'S determination. He arrived there on the 30th ult, and on the. tst inst. BASILIC° was dispatched by Lord LAUDERDALE. There .can be very little doubt that his Lordship was apprised of the fa& of the rejeition of the Treaty before he 'sent off the Messenger; his Dis patches must have been highly important, as they would of course describe the impression made upon the French Government by • that event. What effed it will have upon the Negotiation pend ing between this Country and France we cannot pretend to determine ; but we think it highly pro bable that it will make BONAPARTE more anxious to conclude a Peace with Great Britain. There can be no doubt but that one of the leading objefts of BONAPARTE'S policy has been, if possible, to edit& a 'Complete separation between Great Britain and Russia. That obje& was to a certain degree accom plished by the signature of the Treaty by. M. D'Ou 'BRIL, and would have been more so if that Treaty had been ratified ; but defeated in this part of his plan, it is by no means improbable that he will now be desirous to conclude a Peace with this Country. Mr. PARSONS, the Messenger, was sent off yesterday afternoon with Dispatches to Lord LAUDERDALE. . The intelligence from Italy in the French and Dutch. Papers gives a most deplorable account of the state ofjhe greater part of the Kingdom of Naples. The Insurgents, as they are called, are represented, as having treated with the utmost cruelty, not only the French who fell into their bands, but such of their own Countrymen as had shewn any dispo- Sition to support the new King. On the other hand, the progress of General MASSENA bat been marked with slaughter and devastation. , All the prisoners have undergone a " military judgment," that is to say, shot without mercy; and the French Papers boast that Generals MASSENA, REGNIER A and VER• DM, had in this manner " purged the country of . Rebels," wherever they appeared. It is rather insinuated than stated in the French Papers, that the English had re-embarked for Si but it is probable that the event took place about the middle of July, for General SitraßT states, in his Official Letter, dated 6th July, that he was then. beginning his march to the southward, for the purpose of re-embarking for Sicily. - We are happy to find that the intelligence which we received some tine ago respeaing the adjust• merit of the dirrerences between the iavos of Sw.E. DEN and PRUSSIA is confirmed. The danger Which, threatens both of their, from the gigantic power and restless ambition of France, has convinced them of the policy of uniting their forces against the Corn. mon Enemy, rather than wasting them against each other. The KING of SWEDEN has issued orders fur discontinuing the Blockade of the Prussian Ports, and it is generally believed that His Prussian Ma jesty has issued orders for Evacuating that part of the Dutchy of Lauenberg of which his Troops had take“ possession. Ttp2 fad of the French having taken possession of Ernbden seems now confirmed beyond a doubt. WE yesterday stated that JEROME BONAPARTE had had the good fortune to escape all our Cruizers, and to reach a French Port. Our Plymouth Letter, we are sorry to say, fully confirms that statement. The Vete ran, JEROME'S Ship, was chased for 48 hours by the Gibraltar, Capt. Luxix, and the latter had gained so far upon her, that the fotiner began to fire her stern chasers, a shot from one of which unfortunately carried away the fore-top-mast of the Gibraltar, and of course compelled Capt. LUKIN to give up the pursuit. If this unfortunate accident had not happened, he wOilld had been alongside the Veteran in half an hour.--! The Veteran got into L'Orient. THE gallant. Vietory achieved by our Country men in Calabria, is amply detailed in a Gazette Extraordinary of to-day, which will be found in. another part of this Paper. General STUART, with the laudable pride of patriotism, justly . observes, that " the riva i l Nations" of Great Britain and France might be said to have a fair trial on this oc casion, and that " the superiority was greatly and gloriously decided to be our own."—The number on both sides were indeed such as afforded the Enemy an advantage, but an advantage that gives added lustre to our succ.:is. The confirmation of this vistory being announced by the discharge of the Park and Tower Guns, occasioned a strong emotion in the Public ; and it was confidently rumoured that the Preliminary Treaty between Great Britain and France had arrived. It is with much pleasure that we find the loss on our side was so small considering the severity of the conflid.
