POREICN LVTELLMtNCE. TEOM DUTCH PAPERS AND LETTERS TO THE 24TR The King of Prussia has sent 'orders to all the Commandants of Prussian Ports in the Baltic, to al low the Consuls of Neutral Nations to communicate freely with the Commanders of the Swedish Ships of blockade. -, • The Division of Marshal AUGEREAU, and several other French Corps at present in Ger Many, have re ceived orders to proceed to Italy. The French are organizing several Native Re giments in Naples.' Part of the Troops assembled in Calabria for the . invasion of Sicily,- have been vvithdrawn to reinforce the Army before Gaeta. A Letter received by a Mercantile House at Rot terdam from RagUsa, dated the 20th June, mentions the defeat of the French in that neighbourhood by the Montenegrins, supported by a Corps of Russians. The Montenegrin's, who are a brave people, occupy, ins an almost inaccessible Country, have upwards of 30,000 men in arms. They were joined by• some Ragusan. malcontents, several Albanians, and about . 4000 Russians. Accounts from Constantinople, of the 18th June, ' state, that the Reis Effendi had, in decided terms, refused; on the part of his Court, to restore the pri vileges Of, the Greeks under the protedion of the • Russians ; and that Prince ITALINSKY &MARROW had made preparations for his departure, which was only delayed by awaiting the return of a Courier from St. Petersburgh. The Russian TroopS now assembled on the Fron tiers of Turkey exceed 100,000 men, and 80,000 , more are colleded on the shores .of the. Black Sea in readiness for service. Constantinople and its environs resemble an im mense camp, into which fresh levies are hourly pour ing from Asia to reinforce the Corps under the Da cha of Natolia. The Army. which the Turks haVe already colle&ed in Europe, under pretext of the War against the insurgent Servians, exceeds 155,000 men. The disciplined; or regular Troops, under the Pacha of Cogni, amount to about 30,000 men. The Army to be sent to the relief of Belgrade, u9der the, Pacha of Romelia, comprises &0;000 men ; and the remaining 70,00 - 0 are employed in watching the mo tions of the Russians The Russian Minister at Constantinople has sent orders to the Russian Consuls in the Levant,, an nouncing the possibility of a rupture with. the Turks, afid advising that the Russian Merchants, &c. have made arrangements for the safety of themselves and property in the event of a War taking place. An Expedition has sailed from Constantinoplq for Alexandria, under the Captain Paella : it consists of four Sail of the Line, five Frigates, arid six Corvettes, with 800 troops. The Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople has announced to his Court that a Negotiation was on foot for a Trcity of offensive and defensive alliance between France and the Porte. LotllS BONAPARTE is to be crowned at Amsterdam on his return from Paris. A Letter from the Hague, of the 22d, repeats the rumour which lately prevailed there, that the Porte, by \ her new Treaty with France, is bound to afford every possible facility to:the march 0f60,003 French troops, in three divisions, through be: Asiatic Pro vinces in india. Rear-Admiral CEDERSTROEM, commanding the Swedish Frigate Froeja, has captured and sent 'to Cariscrona the Russian Shin Elizabeth, - WA 6- VER, from Revel, bound to . Stettin. She has been claimed by the Russian Minister at the Swedish Court; but the King persists in considering her as a prize, in consequence of her having attempted to v►olate the blockade of the'Oder. Some animated Notes have passed on the occasion, and it is 'supposed that the affair may interrupt the friendship subsisting be 7 tween the two Courts. Mr. SCOTT, late British Consul at Naples; has been sent to the fortress ofßitsch, in Alsace, as a prisoner• of war. The King of SWEDEN has rejected two offers made by the Emperor ALEXAtCDER, to mediate between him and Prussia ; his Majesty declaring, that Russia is bound by Treaty to afford him efficient succour in the war, and that he will not exonerate her from the obligation. HAGUE, JULY 22.—We learn with pleasure that the return of his Majesty from 'the waters' of Wis-- baden will be much sooner than has been generally expelled. HAERLEM, JUNE 21.--The two battalions of the 19th French Regiment of Infantry, which have been in garrison here some time past, left this place early this morning, to commence their march tolioulogne, according to his Majesty's or.lers. FROM THE TURKISH FRONTIERS, JULY 2.—The report circulated upon the Coasts of the Adriatic, that a small body of French troops had been surprised near Old Ragusa, and cut to pieceS by the Montene grins, is void. of foundation. PARIS, JULY 17.—The Minister of the Interior has announced that races of horses •and chariots are to form 'a part of the triumphal fetes of the vic •torious armies. According to• the dispositions made for that purpose, two prizes are assigned to the: winners in the horse races ; the first of 2400, the second of 1500 franks. The riders must be French, and the horses bred in France. The prizeS for which the chariots are to run are, first, a gold medal worth 3000 franks, and secondly, a silver one worth 1800. The riders :Md. drivers must enter their names' before, the 3'lst instant. Not more than two horses,are to be allowed to the contending Carriages. . . • VIENNA, JULY 5.--Since the arrival of two Couriers froth trance, several conferences have been held between the French Ambassador, M. LA ROCIIEFAUCAULT, and Count STADION, and which we are assused' relate .to the evacuation of the for tress of Brannau, and the return of • the Austrian Prisoners from France, upon whose account another. transport of money has been dispatched; as every thing they have required upon the march has hither to been paid for in ready cash. - During the tremendous storm on Thursday, as .

BRIGTITOY; JULY 26.- ,An wpleasantaffair, and.,such as might,lave had a very fatal termination, took place last night at the Castle Tavern. The ail of BAR.RTNORE, Lord G. CAVENDISH, Mr. MELLISH, l A'DdMr. BOWES Dit,Y, , .had been for, sJrre time engrtged at -a, when Some words ultimately took 'place between the .Earl OEBARRYMORE and Mr. Howoirrn. The latter, though we do not pretend to be fully acquainted with the minute particulars of the dispute, on receiving a' severe 'retort from the former,. returned it with a blow. The. Gentlemen present, and therevere some of the. very highest rank, now interfered brit the qtiarrel had then proceeded to too greata length to admit ,of .an amicable, ..adjustment. Post ! chaises were ,ordered, and the arl ofRRYMORE, aud.Mr. .HELLISH, as hjs'Lordship'g second, got into one, and Mr. HowonTn. and Sir J. SHELLEY occupied the • other. Having reached Black Rock Bottom, about a mile to the east of the town, the parties alighted, when the. ground being, spaced out by the Seconds,, the Earl of BARRYMORE and Mr. HOWORTIT dis charged a' pistol each, but,. providentially, without effeet A second fire was demanded with some warmth, by both Gentlemen ; but, happily! the se conds here very properly interposed, and,the dispute terminated without bloodshed. Mr. H. the Sur geon, also attended the parties to the field, or, ra -ther, he so placed . himself as to be within call, in case chirurgical assistance, in- ,the end, had been necessary. ' Much has been said of this affair among all ranks and descriptions of people. in . the town to-day, tho' the, particulars of the quarrel are but little known. When the Earl of BARRYMORE and Mr. HowoRTH adjusted their difference in Black Rock Bottom, it was betwien three and fotir.eclock in the morning,. The Weather to-day has been exceedingly damp mid unfavourable to the Races. The Race-Rill, notwithstanding, had the most brilliant' display of elegant Company we ever observed there. His . Royal Highness drove his own barouche and six spirited blood bays to the ground. The Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBAN:s, who arrived here yester-, day, werealso in their elegant barouchenn the Downs; and the equipages of the Earl and Countess of BERXE LET, the 4arl and Countess of KENMARE, and others, some hundreds in number, of the first rank and consequence, gave interest and splendour to the Downs. The Earl of EGREMONT, Lord DARLING TON, Sir JOHN and Lady LADE, Sir C. BURRELL, the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVEN, Earl CRAVEN, the Earl and Countess of SHREWSBU R Y, and all the ele gance, beauty, and fashion of the town were present. The sports. , were announced to commence.'at one. o'clock, but from a copious shower of rain which fell at that time, they were unavoidably postponed until about twenty minutes before two, when the following horses started for . the &maker's Stakes of 20gs. each, last mile ; 3 yr olds to carry 7st.. 4 yr olds Bst. 31b. a yr olds Bst. 91b. 6 yr olds , 95t. and'aged 9st. 41b.

SATURDAY, JULY 26. The uncommon fineness of the Weather here to day thas amply compensated - for the inclemency , of ,yesterday. The Steyne, as usual, during the whole of the morning, exhibited a numerous confluence of sportsmen, all busily engaged in betting. At half past twelve o'clock, as on the preceding day, the Prince drove his barouche and six to the ground, and, tookhis:station about an hundred yards to the north of the race stand, and on the same side of the course.
