TH E S U.N. SOLEM QUIS DICE/LE YAL3UM AUDEAT LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, :806. THIS morning the Hambargh Mail due on Sun day last arrived. Tthe lateness'of the hour at which we received it prevents us from commenting upon the following , extraordinary Article from the Fron tiers of Austria : FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, .AUG. to reports, the French, wishing effeEtually to pre vent Austria from taking part in a new war, if by chance it should break out, have demanded to oc- copy the whole Circle of Austria till the establish - merit of Peace with 'England.—They are still not only at Brannan, but have likewise occupied the right• Bank cif thelsonzo. All the measures that are silently taken, announce that the present tranquillity will soon be disturbed. A great magazine is forming in Moravia, on the frontiers of Silesia ; the artillery men have received orders to make eight millions of cannon-cartridges, and 22 millions of musquet-car tridges; five companies have been employed in making them for these four or five days. Count Da STADION•, at the same time that he re ceived the notification that Russia had refused to ra tify the Peace with France, received also a Note, printed at St. Petersburg?), in which Russia states the reasons for her present condu&. VIENNA, AUG. :23.—The report which had been revived of the evacuation of Cataro is not yet con firmed. Great quantities of artillery, ammunition, &c. are 6ending to Comorn, Temesnar, and Buda, and dis tributing in the different depots. WE received last night Paris Papers to the Bth instant. The French Government have at length condescended to acknowledge the refusal of the EMPEROR of 'llussm to ratify the Treaty signed at Paris. The article in which that fa& is communi cated to the people of France is written with a labour ed affe&ation of indifference; but it is easy to perceive that BONAPARTE feels considerable disappointment and chagrin upon the subje&. It sets out with declaring, that the result of the Battle of Austerlitz, and the alliance between Prussia and France, had taken away from Russia the power of disturbing the peace of the Continent, and that therefore the French Government waited with great patience to know what part the Court of Russia would take after that Battle. If Russia really has not the power of disturbing the peace of Europe, as the Monieur terms it, and if France is so perfectly indifferent whether the War 'with Russia should continue or not, it is rather singular that the French Official Paper should manifest so much peevishness upon the occasion. Great pains are taken to shew that M. D'Otnatm. had full autho rity to conclude a Treaty, and even a Copy of his " full powers" is given ; but they are nothing more than what are given to every Plenipotentiary, and we believe it never was contended, that if a Mini ster, vested with " full powers," signs a Treaty, his Court has not an opt:on afterwards to reje& or to ratify it. The refusal of the Emperor . ALEXANDER to ratify this Treaty is attributed to the extraordinary ascendancy which the English Party had obtained in the new Cabinet of Russia. Upon the mere men tion of England (with whom France is negotiating for Peace), the Writer in the Moniteur is no longer able to maintain his assumed indifference, but exclaims, that the Men who preside over the quarrels of Nations are quite mad ! and me naces the EMPEROR of Russia. with the "vengeance of the Conquerors of Ulm and of Austerlitz, who I are near the field of their triumphs, and more numerous and more formidable than ever." The article then concludes with an assurance that there is no reason to suppose that the Continental War will be renewed, and with a sagacious observation, that " the destiny of States is the secret of Provi dence, and their happiness and glory depend upon the wisdom of their Rulers." The new Prussian Ambassador, M. KNOBELS nonr, has arrived at Paris, and on Sunday last he delivered his Credentials, and M. LUCCHESI'S! his Letters of Recall. It is probable that M. KNOBELS roar has instru&ions to negotiate for the adjust ment of the differences subsisting between France 'and Prussia ; and we have no doubt that he will succeed. RoNAPARTE will not, under the present circumstances, drive the KING of PRUSSIA to an extremity, and the latter will be satisfied if lie can obtain k short and precarious tranquillity. The Duke ,of Strsszx returned to Kensington 03 Wednesday, from a visit to the Duke of KENT, at NATAL NEWS. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 10.—Arrived • the Portuguese Brig N. S. Rosario, Capt. FERRARO, laden with hides, from Oporto, hound to Amsterdam, detained by the Lion Privateer ; the Russian Galliot Anna Christina, Capt.

By the Pallas Frigate, 'which' is arrived here from the Squadron under Conrmodore Hoot), cruizing off Rochefort, intelligence is received that the Squadron have suffered rather severely in their masts and rig ging in a violent gale of wind, which they encoun tered some days since, but that they would be re fitted without coming into Port. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 1 I.—Passed by this Port for London the Little Catherine, from Santa Cruz. Sailed the Jane, SmITH, Phcenix, BADCOCK, and Four Friends, OAK, for London. • HARWICH, SEPT. It.

The Danish Ship Orion, P. L. HOLDT Master, from Stockholm, with a cargo of iron and deals, bound to Barcelona, brought into this Port by the Centinel Gun-brig, Lieut. CHESTER, has been re leased; but before the Ship can proceed on her voy age part of the cargo must be unladen to repair the Ship. The Neutral Sloop Two Friends, JACOB Vitqcx, from Rotterdam, bound to London, with sundry goods, detained by the Charger Gun-brig, is released by the Admiralty Court, and will proceed to her destined Port immediately. Sailed the Indignant Gun-brig, and Argus Reve nue Cutter, on a Cruize. Arrived the Charger Gun-brig, Lieut. BLo\v, from a Cruize, and remains with the Aggressor, Escort, and Centinel Gun-brigs. - DEAL, SEPT. 11.—This morning two Messengers arrived here from London, with Dispatches for Lord LAUDERDALE, at Paris, and immediately embarked on board the Speculator Lugger, which sailed from the Downs for Calais.

This active and meritorious Officer has also destroyed twelve or fourteen other vessels, after taking out what was valuable on board, during his last cruize. The Leopard,.-of 50 guns, arrived at Halifax the 13th of August, to relieve the Leander, Captain WHITBY, coining home ; and great' exertions are making for refitting the Cambrian and Tartar, both of which are very much shaken and crazy. The utmost exertions are also making, in carrying vari ous reforms throughout the Naval Department of that Port. It will give the greatest satisfa&ion to the numerous friends and connexionsofAdmiral BERKE LEY to hear that he arrived safe, with his whole mily and suite, at the above station, on the 10 t h of July, after a voyage of five weeks and two days from Cork. 'The Leviathan, JACKSON, from Bermuda, parted the homeward-bound West-India Convoy, consist ing of 280 sail, in ht. 29. long. 62. They were under convoy of (Admiral COCHRANE'S) four Sail of the Line. A letter from Nassau, New Providence, says— " The Certertts Frigate and Port Mahon Sloop of War have just gone in quest of a Spanish 7 4, crui zing off the Havannah, and which they had received in formation was very poorly manned: A very valuable Prize had arrived at Nassau, cut out by the boats of the Port ilahon, from under the Fort of Matanza she is a large Spanish Brig from Cadiz bound to the Havannah. The Red :ridge Schooner had likewise sent in a .taluable Spanish Schooner taken on the Coast of Cuba." MR. FOX. Mr. Fox's symptomi were so alarming on Wed nesday, that the Medical Gentlemen earnestly ad vised his relations, and more immediate friends; to take their final leave of him, that in his last moments he might not be di - sturbed. IV bile, however, those Gentlemen were waiting in anxious expeCiation, Mr. Fox sunk into sleep, and, after some hours, awaked, with an evident improvement in his health and spirits. He was able to take his usual breakfast yesterday morning, and had an interview first with Mrs. Fox and afterwards with Lord HOLLAND and General FITZPATRICK.-This improvement was rather pro gressive till the afternoon, when he was permitted to be removed to another apartment, where, besides the persons before-mentisned, he saw Lady HOLLAND, Lady ELIZABETH FOSTER, and Miss Fox. He was able to sit up in an arm chair, and to converse with some degree of spirit, apparently much gratified that he had another interview with connexions so dear to him. He remained much the same du-ing the whole of yesterday. The following is the Bulletin of this morning : Chiswick.-House, Friday Morning, Half-past Eight. " Dr. Mo;zl.Ey has the honour to acquaint Lady EL lz A BET li FOST a that Mr. Fox has had some hours of sleep, at intervals,'in the night, and has takenhis medicines regularly, with a sufficient quantity of nourishment, but that he was very languid this morning." At nine o'clock the Medical Gentlemen assembled at Chiswick in consultation, and a subsequent Bulletin was sent to Devonshire House, of a purport nearly similar to the preceding. We have the best autho rity for stating, in addition to these reports, tha t this day " Mr. Fox was very low indeed." Their Royal Highnesses the PRINCE of WALES and Duke of CLARENCE passed through Shrewsbury about half past five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, on their way to Ross-Hall, the seat of CECIL 1"0- itESTER, Esq. M. P. to which place they were es corted by 'a Detachment of the Shrewsbury-Yeo manry.' The arrival of their Royal Highnesses in Shrewsbury at an earlier hour than was expe&ed, prevented the Shrewsbury Loyal Volunteers, and Captains SUTTON and BENYON'S Companies of the Shropshire (who were assembling for the purpose), from paying that respeet to the illustrious Visitors which had been intended. We understand that their Royal Highnesses, after leaving Ross Hall, proceed. ed to Loton, in Shropshire, the seat of Sir ROBERT LEIGHTON, Bart.' and from thence to Trentham Hall, on a visit to the Marquis of STAFFORD. The PRINCE is certainly to visit the Earl of DAR LINGTON, -at Raby Castle ; and should his Royal Highness proceed so far north as Alnwick, there is no doubt of his pushing on to Edinburgh. It is said the - PRINCE• has promised to visit his Noble Friends the Duke of NORFOLK and the Earl of ESSEX, at their seats in Herefordshire; his Royal Highness is afterwards expected at Bath. Should this take place, the Northern Tour must be con siderably abridged. The Marquis of STAFFORD has given 23001. for a bed, and Lord DERBY 20001. for another, in the expedation of a visit from the PRINCE of WALES. LINCOLN, SEPT. 9.—This city is crowded with a party of fashionables preparatory to the races, which commence this day. Among the company that have already engaged the Inns and other apartments for the race time, are Lord Yarborough. Hon. Miss Pelhams, Mr. and Mrs. Chaplin, Lord and Miss Nlonsons ' Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, Lord W. Beauclerk, Hon. C. Pelham and lovely Bride (late Miss Simpson), lion. Mr. and MrS Elves, Lord Brownlow and the Miss Ctuts; Sir C. and Lady Kent, &c &c. In the evening a grand ball will be given at the Assembly-rooms. Earl and Countess of SEFTON, Hon. Sir A. PA GET, and Mr. BRUMMELL, in Lord SEFTON'S ba rouche and four, were engaged from one o'clock till three in inspeeting the West-India Docks ; after' which they returned to his Lordship's house to din ner. Yesterday Lord HENRY PETTY entertained the following company to a turtle feast, at his house in Downing-street :—Lord MAITLAND, the ATTORNEY GENERAL, Mr. COURTENAY, Mr. CREEVEY, Mr. HORNER, Mr. DRUMMOND, Mr. ROGERS, and Mr. HowlsoN. His Royal Highness the Duke Of CAMBRIDGE, accompanied by General TURNER, left town on Wednesday morning, and proceeded4o Sir GEORGE LUDLOW'S, at Canterbury, where' his Royal High ness arrived at six o'clock. He returned yesterday to General FINCH'S, at the Government House, Chatham, and slept at WRIGHT'S, the Crown Inn, Rochester. This morning he reviewed the Cold stream Regiment of Foot Guards. The Danish Consul gave a grand entertainment, at his house, at Putney, to a sele& party. COI. GREVILLE, it seems, has failed in an attempt to establish a private Concert, the LORD CHAMBER LAIN having refused his sanction. CITY L - JSINESS.—A Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall yesterday, which was attend-' ed by the LORD-MAYOR, several Aldermen, and a number of Commoners. JOHN BOND, Esq. Sheriff Ele6t, petitioned to be discharged from the office, in consequence of his being a Protestant Dissenter; which was referred to the Committee for General Purposes to examine and report. The Court re ferred it to the same Committee to carry into execu tion the Ad for the - better defence of the realm, &c. so far as the same relates to the City of London. Two hundred pounds were voted in aid of the funds of the City Dispensary. John Haynes; an acquaintance of the notorious Tysa, has been committed to Bristol Newgate, toge ther with his wife, for having in their possession a number of forged Bank-notes. Since his committal he has pledged himself to impeach several belonging to the same gang. One Gibson has been since corn• Witted fur the like offence. Dili LEV, SE! 6. The custody of the Great seal of Ireland has been put into commission, preparatory to the Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor PoNsoraly taking his departure for England ; the Lords Commissioners, we hear, arc the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Com mon Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron of the Exche quer. - There are now seventeen Privates of different Regiments of Militia upon their trials for the late military outrage committed at Tullamore, between a party of the Militia and, the German Legion, then on duty in that town. The Court- Mai;ial is an open one, and perfectly free of ad mission to the Public, notwithstanding the asser- , tions of some cotemporary Prints to the contrary.— No Officer below the rank of a Field Officer is a member of it. The Court proceeds with the most solemn deliberation, and continues sitting every day, from eleven till three o'clock, in the great Court Martial Chamber in the Palatine-square, at the Royal Barracks. Between one and two o'clock on Thursday morn ing a fire broke out in Mr. Hyland's mill, in Moore's-lane, Harold's-cross, which raged for along time with great fury, and totally destroyed the mill and several store-houses attached to it, in which was a very large quantity of flour. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, MAY 31.. The English Merchants are now quite re-establish-- ed in their stores, the Government is settled, general satisfaetion prevails, and the troops are in health and spirits. The very rigid discipline established by the. Commander in-Chief, Sir DAVID BAIRD, was at first by no means palatable to many —now that they are , inured to it, the good effeas of this severe discipline is manifest, when indulgence is shewn to no Officer nor Soldier; and Sir DAVID has become the greatest favourite among all ranks of the civil and military. The Officers respect him—the Soldiers almost adore him. , . From the measures adopted by the Commandants of Cape and Simon's Towns, intoxication, with the ',Cheap wines of the Colony, is prevented; the Gene- . : - ral Hospital has been shut up, and Sir DAVID has 'sent home all the Doctors belonging to it. Dolor BAILLIE, our Deputy-InSpeaor of Hospitals, it i 5 said, goes to India, as Inspeaor-General of Hospi tals, if Dr. JACKSON or Dr. BORLAND are not sent -from England. They are very anxious at the Cape to learn the success of Gen. BERESTORD'S Expedi tion to La Plata; he took with him that fine and fa- . vouritellegiment the 71st Highl a nder s an d 300 o f the St. Helena European Regiment. There was a :report that General BERESFORD had effeaed a land ing at Monte Video. We are sorry to learn, that one Ship, with Major TOTTEY, and two Companies of the 71st, had parted convoy and was missing.- 7 , The payment of the Prize-money has begun at the Cape-. Captains get (2001. currency, as a first pay , ment ; but there will be at least a second and third more payments. EXTRACT OF A•LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF RANK, DATED MONTELEONE, LOWER CALABRIA, JULY 14, 180 G, TO A GENTLEMAN AT PLYMOLTI-I. " I congratulate you, my dear Friend, upon one of the most splendid victories ev:T achieved by the British arms. The French Army in Calabria no longer eY.ists. The boasting and insolent REGNIER has been completely humbled and disgraced, and. upwards of 3000 of his troops are either killed, or are in our possession as Prisoners of War. His mili tary chest has been taken, and stores of every de scription and .in great abundance have fallen into hands. All this, my good Friend, has been ac . compiished by a British Army of not 5000 firelocks, and with a loss of only 300 men. The battle took place on a most extensive plain in the morning of the 4th of July, and that day I consider as the proudest of my life. I had the honour and 2'ratifi, cation to command the advanced Corps of the Army, and to commence the adieu: In my Light Infan try I had the most unbounded confidence, and to them were opposed two battalions of the' :most distinguished Corps in the French service. On both sides the determined courage displayed was truly heroic—little firing took place-,-both sides advanced. vigorously at the charge, apparently with a deter mination to close. But when the opposing lines 'arrived within a few paces of each other, British courage became triumphant, and panic seized , the French line. The Enemy fled in the utmost dis order, and the slaughter was truly dreadful —no breathing was allowed the fugitives —none even at tempted to rally—and in less than half an hour the two battalions were only to be seen killed or wound ed on the field, and prisoners in our possession ; among the latter was the General commanding the left wing. The General Orders issued after the battle were peculiarly gratifying,. and the 81st, the Corps I had the honour to command, you will ob serve, behaved nobly. The dispatches arc about to be closed, and I have not time to say more on this im portant vielory, than that I am,. with best respeas to your family," &c. According to the • Foreign Journals, one of the most formidable of the bands of Calabrians is headed by the Widow of RoDIA, a Chief, who was, • sonic months ago, shot by the French. This body is dis tinguished by the name of the Band of Vengeance. The following Inscription for a Monument ereet .ed at the Cape of Good Hope, to the Memory of 'the much-regretted Captain ANDREW FOSTER, was written by a brother Officer of his own Regiment, and forwarded to a friend in England : " How sleep the Brave, who sink to rest " By all their Country's wishes blest.''• - This Tablet is erected in Memory of ANDREW FOSTER, Esq. late Captain of Grenadiers in His Britannic Majesty's 24th Regiment of hoot; ‘crtio was slain Whilst nobly leading his Company into action On the Bth j.:-;:;ary, In his accomplishments as a Gentleman, his sincerity ma friend, have been rarely equalled. •As an Officer, His gallantry is best recorded in th, bosoms of his Brother - Soldiers, and the universal regret of the Army. On Wednesday night the tea warehouse cellar, hi -Gower-street, Commercial-road, belonging to the East India Company, was broke open and robbed of tive chests of valuable teas.
