\\ THE 11.1318UkG . 11 11 AIL . , VIENNA, AUG. 66.-Several 'Magazines are eita: blishing in she country from OlinUtz to cracow. The French Troops which had occupied Gradiska; after having completed the organization of the Prci vince, have withdrawn,to Aquileia, where they daily receive reinforcements. There is talk of a cornbined attack whiCh General LAURIbTON and General BELLEGARDE will under take against the Montenegrins in Cataro. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, AUG. 28.—The name of M. D'Ousan, is no longer found in the list of the Members of the Foreign Department at St. Peters burgh. It is expeaed that a Squadron of some,Ships of the Line and Frigates will soon sail from Cronstadt : its destination is Corfu. NAPLES, AUG. i 1 .—The Towns of Lagonero, Cassano, and several villages, have been pillaged and burnt, as they .were the haunts of Rebels.— ' Hitherto there has been no ,decisive action against the English and the Insurgents in Calabria ; they. are among the mountains. It is said that Marshal will join the Corps of Generals VERDIER and REGNIER, and give battle with all his forces. Four En g lish Vessels, under a Flag of Truce, yes terday entered this Port. They brodght the French prisoners of ar and wounded taken in the Port of St. Euphemia, in Calabria, to be exchanged for an equal number of English. The Castle of Scilla, on the Strait of Messina, in Calabria, and that of Reg gio, have been taken by the English ; the former by capitUlation, and the latter by .escalade. Seveial more arrests have taken place here : among the persons arrested are the Pronuncio of the Pope, and the Swedish and Sardinian Consuls. The ci devant Marshal MICHEROUR Would not go with FERDINXicp His stay at Naples must have had some 11 - 16 . ti%-e ; and he has•been arrested. The Duke DE GRAVIVIA has likewise been arrested at tome. Au i 3:--General REGNIER has joined Marshal MASSENA at Cassano. ROME, AUG. i6.=-=The whole - of the French Troops in our vicinity have received orders to march for Calabria. Those 'at Ancona, and on the Coast of the Adriatic Sea, have likewise orders to break up. The Polish Regiment 'of Cavalry, and the-Re giment of Latour d'Auvergne, that were cantoned at &me, go to Naples. The depot of the !Wish Corps at Mantua has likewise received orders to break up. The late Papal Agent at Naples, CAPARUCCI, haS. been arrested there. HAGUE, SEPT. 6.—Since the intelligence of the fefusal of Russia to ratify the Treaty concluded by M. D'OtmRIL at Paris arrived here, great apprehen-. sions have been entertained that a new war will break out on the Continent. It is true that fresh propositions for Peace have•been made on the part of Russia, but it is feared that these will experience Many diffidulties. The hope of Peace between France and England has also greatly diminished ; and our funds have again suddenly fallen. The Batavian Re aCriptions are at 666. There was a mutiny on board ane ofthe Ships in the Texel on the day appointed for taking the oath to the King,. as the crew pre tended that the change of the flag authorized them to make 'a new engagethent. This revolt was, how-. ever, soon quelled by the resolution and presence of mind of Admiral DE WINTER, who shot the ring leader'of the mutineers dead with a pistol; the crew immediately submitted and took the oaths. DUSSELDORFF, SEPT. 4.--On the first instant there was a meeting of 'the Deputies of the DuChy of Cleves and Berg. The Grand Duke was seated on the throne, and the Members took the oaths of fide lity to him. Alter the ceremony he addressed a speech to the Deputies, which he commenced by Stating, " that the god-like prescience and 'confidence of that Great. Man, who at present astonishes all the world, had called him to the sovereignty of the Arch Dukedom.+' CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. hen the Porte re- ceived information of the revolt in the town of Adri anople; a Bashaw was sent to bring back the insur gents to their duty; but he was put to death in that place. Most of the Troops sent against Adrianople have deserted to the enemy.— , The Dutch Charge d'Affaires, M. TESTA, has delivered to the Reis Ef fendi, and also to all the Diplomatic Corps here, - .an official notification of the change which has taken place in the Government of Holland. FROM THE MAINE, SEPT. French Gene ral REIN\VALD has the charge of assembling the Aus trian prisoners in the territories of Wirternburgh and Baden. They are to be formed into divisions of 400 men each, and will be marched by Ulm; Friedberg; and Haag, towards Burghausezi. There are to be two other points of rendezvous near Landsberg and Donanwerth. Cataro, which has not yet been given up to the French, is a most important fortress. Who ever possesses it commands the Adriatic Sea. Large Fleets may find shelter in the three basons which are formed by the bays of Cataro, and may sail in un observed. In fact, Cataro is not only the laraest but the most secure haven in the Adriatic. It is most favourably situated for either commercial or ' military expeditions to all parts of. Turkey. Who ever possesses it may, without difficulty, send fleets to the Morea and Egpt, or other points of the African Coast. ERLANGEN. .SEPT. 2 .—We do - not yet perceive the least appearince of the speedy return of the French Troops to France. We learn, from Anspach, that the Prince of Ponte Corvo (BERNADOTTE) had all his equipage packed up in the castle since 'he 20th, but on the 30th he received an important dis patch from Paris, since which.great a6tivity prevails among the Troops, and frequent journeys of Cou riers have taken place. AUGSBURGH, SEPT. I.—We understand that the, French are forming a Camp of 20,000 men between Donauwerth and Notsllingen. All tire invalids be longing to the Corps of Alarshal Souur are sent to France. The .French expea that a great number of military bake-houses will again be established here. BERLIN, • SEPT. 6.—On the 2d Schiller's Maid of Orleans was performed at our theatre, before a crowded and splendid audience. The military and patriotic passages were loudly applauded. One verse excited the greatest enthusiasm. It expressed the :duti , of the people to make sacrifices fur the defence `of their King and Country, and contained also this 3elitirnent, '" that a tAtIOn i;f..trorthlt!ss which dOea not jo . yfully.stake , tts. all in support'o, its honout." The Finance Patent published by ihe Emperor of Auftria . commences 'by stating, " that a series of c4'.; amities, which the inscrutable wisdom of Provi.:- .dence has permitted to,attend that Monarch's reign during fifteen years, have not so much afilieled the Royal breast as the present necessity which com pels him to lay fresh burdens upon his people, for the purpose of assisting the weakness of the State, and removing the evils which remain as the natu ral consequences of the late Wars. " These Wars, which have succeeded each other with little intermission (it is observed) have been more expensive than any that the Monarchy have ever undertaken. The expence of each campaign has far exceeded the sum total of the usual annual revenue of , the State. " The resources of foreign loans, to which the Emperor's ancestors had recourse, it is remarked, were rendered useless by the change which bad taken place in political relations ; and the operations of domestic loans were found to be too slow, and in their issue too uncertain ; so that even these could not be made to cover more than the fourth of the expenditure of a single campaign; and therefore to provide for the rest of the necessary expences mere ly by forced loans, and extraordinary impbsts, would have been destruCtive of the well-being of the sub-' jea—especially when a succession of 'bad harvests had produced a dearth, and •when several thou sands of hands had been taken from the plough and from the work-shops'of the mechanic; and, lastly, when...the - restristions upoTi commerce and the arts had imposed new limitations Upon the revenue. " In this situation nothing remained to tbe Go vernment but the, increase of paper, which, with the yearly accumulation of the interest, tended to multiply the exigencies of the State ; arid this (it is observed), notwithstanding the limitations already introduced into every branch of the public expendi ture, and other reforms which the Monarch has in view, is still inadequate to the competency requi site to the support of the State. "'Such a crisis (it is added), unless met with firmness, and combated with resolution ; must aug ment the danger both of the Sovereign add the Subjed. The Emperor, therefore, not . doubting of the fidelity and patriotism of his Hereditary States, expresses the same confidence in his sub jeCts in Transylvania, and Hungary." The Emperor concludes with acknowledging the regret which he feels in consequence of being com pelled to lay fresh burdens upon his faithful people ; and observes, that the magnitude of the evil de mands a quick and alive remqdy. He therefore in the first place proposes to remove the most pressing of these calamities, viz. the overflow of the Vienna Bank Bills, and to - establish a Fund for their recall and total annihilation. The Patent afterwards pro ceeds to state the conditions of the new loan, and also that the new duties upon salt, tobacco, postage of letters, &c. are only to remain in force five years ; the revenue arising from these duties is to be solely appropriated to the raising of a Fund for the liquida tion of 'the, Vienna Bank Bills. It is likewise stated, that the tax. on gold and silver plate, the use of which has uncommonly in creased among all descriptions, is also'' calculated to: introduce current coin in the room of paper, and to restore the Government paper to its origi nal value. The Emperor admits that be, cannot yet entirely excuse the Provinces from contributions in kind for the support of the Military : however, he is willing to relieve them from that which has been the most burthensome—namely, the contribution of corn; a tax in lieu of this is very shortly to be brought forward. A stamp upon various kinds of ware is also agreed upon. • . By the means of the present Patent, and the as sistance of his Kingdom of Hungary and the Duke dom of Transylvania,, and in consequence of his Majesty's exertions .to preserve the continuation of Peace inviolate, for the happiness of his Crown and tht✓ nations entrusted to him by Providence, and of his desire of which he had lately given an irrefragable proof, his Majesty hopes, under the proteetion of the Almighty; to arrive at, a happier state, and to witness the much wished-far period when he shall be enabled to enjoy the consolation of removing those heavy burthens from the shoul , ders of his subjeCts, which an unfortunate concut rence of untoward events have obliged him to lay upon them. On the first of Sel)ternber an Excise Duty was also to be laid upon all-fresh fowl, game, and wine brought into Vienna. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MARGATE, SEPT': 13. The Vessel in whit') you saw me embark, the Royal charlotte, was in imminent danger of being sunk. Before we reached the Nom, the wind. blowing rather fresh, the Captain advised corning to an anchor. This, however, was opposed by many of the passengers, and the Captain, according to their wishes, determined to proceed. Shortly afterwards -the wind- inereased i and the sea running high, the night beings() very dark, We were blown out 'of our course. We were constantly heaving the lead, and found the depth of water decrease, until at length the cry of quarterless-two was sounded, and the Vessel instantly struck against a sand-bank. . In a few seconds she struck again, and received a violent shock. Providentially there Was a West India Cap tain on board, who with great coolness and judg ment gave direEtions to the steersman to alter his course.- We were then within a very short distance of the breakers, against which the sea dashed in the most tremendous manner. ' Not a soul on board knew where we were. I inquired of the West India Captain what he thought of our situation ? he re plied, that nothing but a miracle could save us. At the first shock some of the women shrieked, but ex cept that, there never -was greater firmness and courage displayed, where destru6tion was supposed inevitable, than by the passengeis on board. The sea ran mountains high, and we every-moment ex petted that all the efforts to save us would prove fruitless. In consequence, however, of the advice given by the Gentleman aboVe alluAed to being strictly followed, our lives were preserved, and the Vessel arrived safe at Margate." We understand a Messenger was sent off on Sun day evening to the Lord Chamberlain to tome to town; TREAM:ES. ha . d. to room yesterday td state that Drury tane Theatre opened for the season .on .Sattirday last, with The Honey Moon, and No Song No Supper.. There Was a very numerous audience, who warn - fly:applauded all the performers on their entrance. Mr. PENLEY appeared for the first titne on the. LondOn Stage, and period - lied the part of Jaques; in therPlay.--lie is a yOting - Man; and seems to possess some talentS for low Couiedy. The Comedy of lOhn Bull introduced two new. Performers, last night; at Covent-Garden Theatre, who are, however, by no means new to the Stage. The part of Dennis Brulkruddery was represented by Mr. MARA, a native of Ireland, vino is well known at several of our. Provincial TheatreS. He • is' of the middle size, and is calculated to be of use •to the Theatre in. Jrish . Charaeters.. His voice; iti_ speak ing, very int\ch resembles that of his coiintryinan; JOHNSTONE, and he adopted the style in _which that Aelor performed the charader: in question; ,but by no means with .equal effeCt. He was, !lOW ever, well received, and encored in the,Epilogue Song. , • • The other novelty was Miss LOGAN. (not as stated, a sister of Mrs. GIBBS or any relation of that actress), from the Newcastle Theatre. Miss LOGAN is a well formed, elegant Girl, and will be really a considerable acquisition to the Theatre as a generalaCtress. She - performed the part of Ma r y, in the Play ; with truth, simplicity, and feeling. Her action unaffeCted, her voice full.and clear, and her articulation distinct. She was much applauded. The !part of PereBrine ,was sustained by PORE, vice COOKE; for the first time, and his performance was a very respe&able support to the Piece. Mrs. 4LOVER took the part of Lady Caroline, a character below her pretensions, but which her talentsraised into more consequence than it has hitherto possessed. LEWIS,FAWCETT4EINIEEY, and the rest of the Performers, received a liberal greetingas they respeCtiely entered, and they acted with their usual spirit. The Farce was The Miser, and Miss LOGAN appeared again in the part of Lappet, in which she displayed the variety of ler powers, as it is es sentially different from the other charaCter, and in which she appeared to still more advantage, as it is evident that her forte lies in the:sprightly charaaers of middle life. The House was very well attended. The Hay Market Theatre concluded a very pros perous season last night, with the Farce of Modern Antiques, the Comedy of !Pays and Means, and the dramatic sketch of Catch Min Who Cana Mr. WINSTON, one of the Proprietors, and who occa- . sionally ventures forward as an aefor, delivered the. following farewell AddreSs, which was well re ceived : " Ladies and Gentlemen —This night concludes a Season, the success of which has strongly proved the continuance of that ample encourageniem so long bestowed by a liberal Public on this Theatre ; and calls for the warmest acknow ledgments horn the Proprietors. The honour devolves on me to express to you their gratitude for your past favour, and to assure yon'that it will he their pride and study to merit it in future:, The Performers, Ladies and Gentlemen, beg you to accept their humble thanks for the genCrous support you have given to their effirts ; and we, most respettfully, take our leave," SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The circumstance of the loss of Mrs. FORSYTH'S jewels occasioned to every body who was acquainted with the Lady the deepest regret, as the opportunity. for perpetrating the robbery seemed to have beenac forded by her benevolent exertions ,o serve a most useful charitable. institution. Mr. GA ItIOW is a Vice- President,, and an indefatigable promoter of the in terests of the Sea-bathing Infirmary he was with his family present at Mrs. SIDDONS'S Reading ; he was consulted, and upon examination gave it as his decided opinion, that the robbery ivus not committed by any person out of the family ; an opinion which Mrs. FORSYTH could not prevail upon herself to adopt; .it appears, however, to have been but too Well founded, and it gives us great pleasUre to be able to add, that the valuable jewels are once more in the pos,session of their amiable owner. It is sup posed that they were purloined by a female domestic who has long been in the family. The property it seems was brought back and placed in the parlour, sealed up. BATTLE OF 11;11.6 Copy of a Letter , from an Officer iti -the 27th Regiment, to s his Father; in the neighbourhood of 'Glasgow. Monteleone (Calabria;,. July Ir, 1835. , . I have merely time to inforM You I am well, and to give you An account of the transaCiions of they Army fur these few days past, of which I do not doubt you may alre a dy h ave h ear d some account.— Five thritisand of our men were ordered to embark. at Messina, on the 28th sof June. On ,the first of July,we landed at St. Eul-Thernia, a small town 'on' the coast of Calabria : part only of our troops were landed, When about 200 ()TOM- men; who were sent into the adjoining Woods as a guard, were attacked by about '4OO of the -Enemy's light. infantry ; they were, however; driven by our two companies sue, ral Miles into the woods, and about twenty of them killed and wounded, Fn . (' 70 made prisoners.. The two following days were spent in getting knowledge. of the Enemy's position and strength. On the even . ing Of the 3d, we heard that the Enemy were en camped on a hill abont . eight miles distant from us, • and, that they bad colleCted all their forces on that spot. It was the intention of the General to ad vance next morning, 'and to attack theM : we were, therefore, under arms at two o'clock, and waited till daY T 6reak, when all the Arniy began to advance. Weadvanced through swampy grounds until near nine o'clock, and then began to ascend a rising ground, on the top of which was a con s id era bl e ' plain, which lay between us and the hill where the • Enemy were encamped. The March through' the swamps, whereat every step eve sunk almost to'the knees, and tbe'ascent tip the high grounds, under the heat of the, sun; bad fatigued our men very much; but the moment they arrived on the plain their ardour was kindled by a sight of the Enemy, who had marched from the hill, and were draWn up on the opposite side, of the plain ready to receive us. We, advanced within 200 yards, of the Enemy, and, then wheeled into line. The Enemy then ad vanced to attack 'us in the most determined Manner, and Were - reCeivectwith a steadiness and Spirit, which theylittle,expeded, as they were made to believe by theft General, that we could not Stand their onset. Their force - consisted of 8000 men, 400 of which were cavalry. • . • The attack first began between a battalion of our light infantry and EosArAairE's Lest and favourite regiment, his first li g ht i n f an t r y, w hi c h were with him at the battle of Marengo ; but they were soon broken, and, during the aaion, *ere entirely cut to pieces. The battle was - fought, for two hours, with great-spirit, on both tiides,. when the French gave way in every part ; ,and every man of them Would have . been taken prisoners had not their cavalry prote&ed their retreat. Our men also were tired with a heavy 'mai-ch 'before the ec• tion, and: were not capable of pursuing them, far. In killed ; wounded, and pri s oner s , the eneiby have lost between 3000 and 4000 ; 1500 of theth Were left dead on the field. One of their Generals is taken prisoner.' Our' loss is very inconsiderable in comparison to their's. We haYe about 60 lilleti ' and 230 wounded. We only lost,one Officer in all our ArmY in • the field 'there are sortie,' hl - pweVer; who will not recover of their wounds; but we liav • not-more than 20 wounded in all. General Sit/ART , 'was driven-off-his horse by the bursting of -a shell ; he had a musket shot through his saddle, and- an other through'his boot, but he has not been wound-• ed. We have no Enemy to oppose us now, as all the Troops are gone, 'and have, therefore,' retired about thirty miles' whence the . aetion was fought. All the enemy's batteries are in our pos session, and, I dare say, we will destroy their guns. It is probable we may return •again to Messina, for _ what can our small force of 5000 men do against what: the French 'can bring in a short time from Naples._ Our small army, for this viCtory, is indebted only to their own valour, for although there were several hundreds of the inhabitants who joined our Army the two first days, . not one of them were in the action. - Our oldest soldiers say, they never saw any- engage-' ment so well contested; 'for both parties entered the' field - to conquer,- 'and with the firmest confidence of Success. From the small ntirriberS of our Army, and from the return of the killed and 'wounded, you' can" conce,ive what a well-fought action it was for the . two hours that. it lasted—many say it was even warmer than that of Egypt. If we stop here a little longer, I hope we will have an opportunity of giving them another-drubbing. The following distressing Circumstance is stated as having occurred in a town in the North of Ire. land : " A young Gentleman of considerable preten sions as to character and attainments, paid' his ad dresses to a young Lady, who, to being gifted with superior, endowments of mind and person, added the prospe& of a liberal fortune, if married With the consent of her • father. It being a mate rial obje& with him to have whoever may be' her suitor of equal advantages in point of fortune, he signified his disapprobation of the existing attachnient she had formed, and peremptorily di re&ed that there should be' no future familiarity with her lover, urging his want of independence as the . motive, .Her objeCtions and reasoning were unavailing—her father was decisive' in his injun&ions.. Her asseverations that the strength of her present prepossession would , preclude even in remote possibility any other regard, had no in fluence. A young man, a distant relative, was pro posed for her acceptance by her father, as eligible in property, which he conceived 'to be the material matrimonial ingredient—and he, although irr posses sion other situation, pressed his addresses, in defiance of frequent explanations and repulses, and they . wcre accordingly married. The morning after their mar riage, when, with the exception of her husband, every one had withdrawn from the breakfast table, she -emptied the contents of a small phial into a tea cup, and drank it. Her-husband, with some-astonish ment, remarked the degree of cheN'fulness with which she drank it. She with much sereii - y in formed him she had drank poison ; and that, she had found it a very sweet draught. The trial) of her assertion was obvious upon examining her tea cup-=a white sediment which remained, explained the fa& fully. Every possible remedy was resorted to for her preservation, but the strength of the poi son resisted all resources. In less than an hour the excess of her agony, which she bore with a placid countenance, brought on the heavy hand of and she breathed no more. The misery of the sur viving parties is indescribable."
