THE LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, October 4. From Glasgow papers to the Thirtieth of August, received by the Brandywine, Miller, 31 days from Greenock.
IMPORTANT.
The Court of Petersburg, letters from Hamburg say, is very much dissatisfied with the conduct of the French in the Duchy of Wirttemberg, and attaches more importance to it than even to the possession of Malta; while Prussia is alarmed at the conquests of the French in Germany, and displeased at their treatment of the Elector of Bavaria. Therefore one of two things must happen, either Buonaparte must make a moderate peace, or if his ambition induce him to continue the war, it will be more dreadful than ever next spring.
The French minister Bourgoing, set out from Hamburg to Copenhagen on the 17th, in order to be present during Lord Whitworth's negotiation.
An article from Copenhagen, dated August 12, says, "Lord Whitworth is arrived from Elsinore."
"Before his arrival, our government sent off dispatches to Peterburgh by a courier, who proceeded in the greatest haste through Sweden, and duplicates of them were also sent off by a swift sailing Schooner."
"Orders were given on the 9th, to get ready for sea 6 more ships of the line."
THE DANES
Suspend Intercourse with Britain. Count Bernstorff, the Danish Secretary of State, had a long conference with the British and Russian charge d'affaires on the 9th, and immediately after a report prevailed, that our agent Mr. Murray was about to return to Britain. Certain it is, that an order was issued to suspend all intercourse with Great Britain, and the several outward bound vessels were directed to wait for farther instructions.
London paper of August 25.
We understand that government received dispatches yesterday from Vienna, dated the 27th inst. containing the answer of the Chief Consul to the dispatches which the Austrian Government, after the receipt of the determination of the Court of London, transmitted to Paris. In this answer, Buonaparte, has expressed a willingness to treat with Great Britain and Austria jointly. Upon these dispatches a Cabinet Council was held, and it is probable that a negotiation between the three powers may take place immediately.
Lon. pap. Aug. 27.
According to the advices received yesterday, by Mr. Bussico, the Messenger, who brought dispatches from Constantinople, as well as Vienna, there is reason to believe that Gen. Kleber was murdered, as has been before reported.
Paris papers to the 23d instant, were received in London on Monday. The only act of importance which they contain, is the return to Paris of Duroc from Vienna. Nothing has transpired of the nature of the answer he has brought, but the French funds having fallen considerably after his arrival, it is conjectured to be unfavourable to peace. It is said that our Government is in possession of the answer sent to Buonaparte. Glasgow Courier.
PARIS, August 19.
Russians.
The news from the North of Germany, and the best informed Journals in that quarter, state that the Russians are approaching more and more towards the Austrian frontiers. The army which is now at Brezeck and on the banks of the Vistula, consists of four grand divisions, each of 20,000 men, of which a third are cavalry. The first is commanded by General Lascy; the second by General Reibender; the third by General Soltikow, and the fourth by Korsakoff. Prince Panceration is finally appointed Commander in Chief of all these forces. Besides this army, a second is forming in Lithuania, and on the shores of the Baltic. At the same time it is uncertain that the best intelligence prevails between the two Imperial Courts, and that Russia takes the most lively interest in the conclusions of the war, and in the future destiny of the Empire.
Journal du Debats of the 29 Thermidor.
At the opening of the campaign the effective forces of Austria amounted to 380,000 men. They are not now 300,000, in spite of the recruits they have received. Desertion is very prevalent; more than 14,000 deserters have gone to Prussia to offer their services.
The extraordinary levy of horses has already produced above 42,000, though 40,000 was the number originally proposed.
The Senate of Hamburg has implored the mediation of the King of Prussia on the subject of the arrest of authors of the Censor, as they did in the case of Napper Tandy. The King answered, that the point did not concern the armed neutrality, and he would not interfere.
General Berthier left Paris for Madrid this morning. His mission is said to be of great importance to both countries.
The greatest activity is employed in demolishing the castle of Milan, and the fortifications of Turin, Ceva, Coni, and Tortona.
August 21.
Though there is no rumour unfavourable to peace circulated in this city, yet the Tiers Consolidé fell yesterday with a remarkable declension. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the mysteries of the stock-jobbers to account for this fall. It is pro-
bably owing only to this, that some financiers having fixed in their own head the day on which a peace was to be signed, and having made their bargains in consequence, the necessity of fulfilling their engagements made them sell out, and in this way reduced the funds, by making the number of sellers greater than that of the buyers.
DUROC'S RETURN.
Citizen Duroc arrived yesterday at half past five o'clock from Vienna; not finding Buonaparte at the Consular palace, he instantly charged his horses and carriage, and set off for Malmaison. Nothing is known of the success of his mission, but his courier being interrogated by some curious persons, replied as he went along, "Good news! Good news!"
Citizen Duroc, chief of brigade, aid de camp to the first Consul, returned to Paris yesterday morning.
Journal des Défenseurs de la Patrie.
Citizen Duroc, aid du camp to the first Consul, charged some time since with a mission to the court of Vienna, arrived yesterday morning at six o'clock. He could not pass the head quarters of General Kray, where he was obliged to wait the answer of the court of Berlin, which did not arrive till the end of ten days. Nothing yet transpires concerning the result of his mission.
Journal du Debats.
It was yesterday morning expected that the funds would experience some depression, because it was the day of transfer for the shares sold at the exchequer on the 29th, but the fall of these funds was considerable, and every one was eager to inquire into the cause of it. A variety of rumours were set afloat, which all appeared to be without foundation. Such as the arrival of Duroc, who brought an account of the rupture of the negotiation, the departure of the Prussian minister, &c. &c. The only probable cause, however, of this powerful reaction, is the indifference of those who buy up these funds, without having the means of making good their payments, and are therefore obliged to sell out at any rate they can get; while others multiply their offers to buy at the moment of the fall, to which they themselves contrive to give occasion. The whole is only a stock-jobbing trick.
LONDON, August 25.
The Hamburg mail which arrived on Saturday, brought letters and papers from India, which contain the interesting intelligence that a conspiracy has been discovered at Malacca, which had for its object the delivery of that settlement to the republicans. The plan had been arranged by the government of Batavia, whence a communication had been for some time carried on with the Dutch residents at Malacca. Mr. Terms, formerly first in council, has been sent to Madras by the Gaja, as has Mr. Ruddy, the Fiscal by the Eliza, those persons appearing to have been principally active in the plot.
We lament to have to state, that the Lord Clive, in her passage from Canton, which she left on the 5th of November, fell in with, and on the 20th of December was captured off Cheduba by the Corsair French privateer, of 26 brass 12 pounders and 150 men. The Lord Clive had on board a cargo worth 80,000 dollars.
Sir Alan Gardner is appointed Commander in chief on the Irish station, in the room of Admiral Kingsmill.
A circumstance novel in the service has taken place in the appointments to the ships captured during the expedition to Holland, where, though the officers are British, and receive their commissions through the accustomed channels, the usual phraseology of "his Majesty's ship," gives place to the words "Dutch ship taken at the Helder."
Since the Channel Fleet has been under the command of Lord St. Vincent, the Road of Brest has never been so completely blockaded. We are informed by the last dispatches, that from the month of May not a single vessel laden with provisions has entered that port. Yet Brest, situated at the extremity of Brittany, a fertile province, and in the most barren part of it, can only procure provisions by sea. We find in consequence, that the greatest scarcity prevails there, both in the town and on board the ships, the crews of which are in want of every thing, especially wine and brandy.
Monsieur and his Suite, with the Duke of Bourbon, and a large party of the French Noblesse, dined on Saturday with the Earl of Liverpool, at his seat near Croydon.
Cronberg the place which Admiral Dickson is supposed to attack, is a fortress in Denmark in the island of Zealand, near Elsinore, which guards the passage to the Sound. In this fortress is a Royal Palace, in which the late unfortunate Queen Matilda, sister to his Britannic Majesty, was imprisoned till she was permitted to return to Zell. About half a mile from this is a Garden, called Hamlet's Garden, said by tradition to be the spot where the murder of his father was perpetrated. Frederick II, King of Denmark constructed Cronberg in 1577, and fortified it strongly. It is fifteen miles from Copenhagen, near the town of Elsinore, and is the best defence of the country, whether against those who would attack it on the side of the ocean, or within the Baltic Sea. It is here that the duties of the Sound are levied for the King of Denmark. It has been taken by the Swedes more than once.
August 27.
This morning were received Paris papers till the 24th instant, which were obtained by a Gravesend passage vessel that arrived at Dover on Monday night. A paper of the 23d mentions the intended journey of the King of Prussia into Silesia. On the sub-
ject of peace, we find but one paragraph in the Clef du Cabinet, "It is said (says this Journal) that the preliminaries of peace are signed; and among other articles, one is quoted, which states that the Belligerent powers shall remain masters in Italy of their mutual conquests."
A young Frenchman, at Madrid, private secretary to the French Ambassador, has been sentenced to ten years banishment from the Philippine Islands, on the charge of infamy, he having lately digested a plan for a revolution, which he transmitted to Mr. Urquijo, with an appointment to meet him alone, and at midnight, upon the Parade; but instead of the answer expected, he was seized by the officers of the police.
We are happy to understand the heavy rains which have fallen during the last few days have nearly extinguished the fire which has done so much damage to Radnor forest and its neighbourhood.
Yesterday, the Master and Wardens of Company of Bakers waited upon the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House, to set the size of bread, and it appearing, upon the examination of the Mealweigher's returns, that Wheat had fallen 17s. 4d. per quarter since last return, but flour having risen 8s. 5d. per sack, his Lordship after arguing with the Company some time, found he was under the painful necessity, agreeably to the act of Parliament, of railing the bread two allizes, or fourpence in the peck loaf—to commence to morrow. The quarter loaf will then be sold for one shilling and one penny halfpenny.
August 23.
The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday arrived this morning. By it we learn the arrival of Lord Whitworth at the place of his destination. This intelligence is contained in the following letter:
Extract of a letter from Elsinore, August 12.
"On the 10th, in the evening, his majesty's ship Andromeda, J. Bradby, Esq. commander, with Lord Whitworth, and Mr. Drummond, the future Charge d'Affairs at Copenhagen, on board, arrived a little below the Castle. No doubt is entertained here, that every misunderstanding, on account of the capture of the Danish vessels, will soon be adjusted in an amicable manner."
The mail brings us advices from Vienna of the 6th, the same date as that of the dispatches which government received by the last mail. Count St. Julien and citizen Duroc have arrived there: but this event, from the manner in which the article speaks of it, does not appear to have happened many hours. On the subject of negotiations we are not furnished with any new light whatever.
The report of the death of Kleber, by the hands of an Arab, is repeated, as a report from Constantinople, but with expressions of doubt as to its truth.
Buonaparte, we learn from Rome, is negotiating with the Pope for a restoration of the Catholic religion in France. It is difficult to say what could be the necessity for negotiating on such a subject. The same article adds, that it is the intention of Buonaparte to march a force through the Ecclesiastical States against the kingdom of Naples. This would be the same error by which the Directory lost Italy in '99. War is not carried on with impunity at the same moment, on the Lake of Garda and at the foot of Mount Veluvius.
This morning a mail was received in town from Lisbon, dated 3d August, brought to Falmouth in the King George Packet, capt. Yefcombe.
The King George Packet, failed from Lisbon on the 4th instant, and arrived at Falmouth on the 20th.
Passengers by this Packet are, Le Chevalier de Aiglee, the Sardinian Envoy, capt. O'Keefe, lieut. Plant and lieut. Dunbar, both of the 35th regiment of foot, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Webber, Mr. Vindrianti, Mr. Foller, Mr. Orr, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Jage, and Mr. Brown, a Portuguese Messenger.
The intelligence which this mail brings is of considerable importance.
Extract of a private letter from Lisbon, received by the Mail this morning.
Lisbon, August 2.
"Last week an express arrived in great speed from Madrid, and a Council of State was immediately called; since then two other expresses have arrived; and there have been many Councils held. Orders have been issued to press every person that could be laid hold of for the army and navy. The frontiers have been directed to be held in readiness for defence; and the Packet has been detained till to-morrow to send the result of the Councils to England."
To guard against incidents, the other packet is to sail on Thursday next, with duplicates. You will ask, why all this confusion? I am going to tell you; Buonaparte has sent propositions of peace to this government, which are said to be a demand of ten millions of Crowns (about 2s. 6d.) each; that the port should be open to the French, and that they should be here upon equal privileges with the most favoured nations. He gives sixty days for a definitive answer, after which none will be excepted; and threatens, in case of refusal, to march 60,000 men into Portugal. He concludes by saying, "You know me well enough to be sure that I never say any thing I do not perform." If England agrees to these requisitions, we may go on pretty well, but on her determination depends every thing. The troops under the command of Sir Ralph Abercrombie left Minorca some time last month.
It is said that the blockade of Genoa will be raised for the benefit of Commerce.

Price of Grain, Marklane, London, Aug. 25.
Table with market prices for Grain: Wheat from 50s to 118s per quarter; Barley 25s to 40s; Malt 50s to 70s; Pease 49s to 54s; Oats 16s to 33s; Flour 85s to 90s per sack; American Flour 61s to 63s per barrel of 196 lbs.
There was hardly any supply of English wheat to-day, but several arrivals of foreign. The weather having been very wet and unfavourable for the harvest for several days, with the appearance of continued rain, has alarmed the buyers a good deal, and has caused an advance of from 5s to 10s per quarter on inferior qualities of Wheat, and of 10s to 15s on fine. Flour very scarce and farther advanced. Oats best forts advanced 3s per quarter, and 1s to 2s on inferior.
August 27.
His Excellency Vice Admiral Rainer arrived at Bombay the 8th February on board the Suffolk of 74 guns, when Rear Admiral Blanket, who had his flag on board the Centurion of 50 guns, saluted with 17 guns, and on the Admiral in Chief anchoring he was saluted by the garrison. On the 10th the Admiral landed under military honors.

The Portuguese government have, we understand, imposed a duty on wines the produce of that kingdom, for the purpose of paying the interest of the paper currency of the State, and for gradually liquidating this debt, which at present greatly embarrasses the mercantile operations of the country. The amount of the duty is not mentioned.
Monsieur and his Suite, with the Duke of Bourbon, and a large party of the French Noblesse, dined on Saturday with the Earl of Liverpool, at his seat near Croydon.
The following articles of the Treaty of commerce between Great Britain and Denmark, relate to the present subject supposed to be in dispute: "Art. 3d.
The underlined Sovereigns engage mutually for themselves, their heirs and successors, not to furnish their respective enemies, if they should be aggressors, with any assistance in war, such as soldiers, arms, cannons, ships, or other articles necessary to the carrying on of war. If the subjects of either of the underlined Sovereigns shall act in contravention with the present article, the King, whose subjects shall so act, shall be bound to proceed against them with the greatest severity, and to treat them as seditious persons, and persons guilty of an infraction of the alliance. Art. 20. And in order to prevent the freedom of navigation, and the free passage of either ally and his subjects, from becoming prejudicial to the other in case of war, on the part of one of the underlined Sovereigns against any other power by sea or land; and in order to prevent any goods or merchandizes, the property of the enemy, from being fraudulently concealed under pretence of alliance; and finally, in order to prevent all suspicion, it is thought fit that the ships, merchandize, and subjects belonging to the other confederate, shall be accompanied by passports and certificates in the following form, &c. &c. It is hardly necessary to observe, that the requisition of these passports and certificates includes a right to search for them, if such right were not fully recognized to be part of the general law of nations.
FALMOUTH, August 24.
The Lady H. bart Packet, Captain Nicholson, is appointed to take out the Mail of next month for Jamaica Barbadoes, and Martinico. She is expected to sail about the 7th of September, as will also Mary packet, capt. Thompson, for America.
PLYMOUTH, August 25.
This morning a number of French prisoners to the amount of about 300 were taken from the prison at this place, to be removed to the prison at Bristol; among whom a Lieutenant, late of his Majesty's ship Danee, of 24 guns, recognized an old acquaintance that belonged to the ship at the time she was carried into Brest by the mutinous part of the crew, in which transaction it was stated that this man was an active ringleader, and the person who held a pistol to the head of Lord Proby, the Commander; he was immediately taken into custody, and secured, and does not deny the charge alleged against him, he is a native of Guernsey and by being conversant with the French language, escaped early detection.
HULL, August 12.
The fleet now ready at this port for the Baltic, and which has been detained for some time by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, has received permission to proceed on the voyage; and will sail from hence on Wednesday, under convoy of the Prince William armed ship, Capt. Richbell.
MILAN, August 2.
On the 30th of July, a requisition of beds and other things was sent to many houses for the use of the French and Cisalpine officers quartered in the public buildings. On the next day, seven hundred French soldiers were sent to enforce military execution against those merchants that refused to contribute their part of the forced loan. These to whom they were sent were obliged to pay five soldiers each 30 soldi for the first hour, 60 for the second, 120 for the third, and thus in arithmetical progression for each succeeding hour till the sum required was paid. On the 27th of July, the minister plenipotentiary from the King of Spain to the Cisalpine Republic the Chevalier Blasie de Orozko, who continued to assume that title even after the late abolition of that Republic, gave in his credentials, having been appointed in the same capacity to the United States of America. The minister on this occasion addressed a discourse to the President of the commission of Government.
ERLANGEN, August 12.
Several of the Gazettes of the Empire have published, for the amusement of the public, a new plan of preliminaries of peace, which consists of no less than thirty-one articles. According to these, three new Republics, will be erected in Italy, to be called the Cisalpine, the Cispadane, and the Piedmontese, which are afterwards to be consolidated into one. To the King of Sardinia is to be assigned a pension of half a million of livres. The Helvetic Republic is to give itself a new Constitution, according to the preliminaries, which are evidently the invention of a romantic fancy.
AUGSBURG, August 12.
General Moreau, on receiving some dispatches brought him last Friday by a Courier, who proceeded onwards to Vienna, expressed himself highly satisfied, and said "there is no doubt of peace; the dispatches which Buonaparte has sent to Vienna will enable the House of Austria to sign a peace without England."

PARIS, August 18.
Letters from Cherbourg, of the 11th. state, that the British squadron of that place appeared a few days before to the number of twenty-one sail in the bay of Durville, within a league and a half of Cherbourg. Our privateers dare not put to sea, in consequence of the vigilance with which they watch the coast.
The first consul has charged Citizens Franchet, Porta, and Bigot-Premaineur, to draw up the Civil Code of laws.
On the second decade of Thermidor 265 Austrian deserters arrived at Nancy.
August 20.
Among the 47 articles of regulations on the subject of the French Marine, the chief article is that respecting promotions.
Promotion shall take place by appointment, in the following order:
The superior Officers (Admirals) shall be in choice of the chief Consul.
Captains of ships of the line shall be appointed one-fourth by seniority, and three-fourths by the choice of the chief Consul.
Captains of frigates one-half by seniority, one-half by choice.
Lieutenants three-fourths by seniority one-fourth by choice.
Midshipmen seven-eighths by seniority, one-eighth by choice.
No person can be promoted a step without being two years in the preceding one.
No midshipman to be appointed without being four years in Naval employment, or two years entirely in active service by sea.
Distinguished actions are not subjected to these conditions, &c. &c.
ON CREDIT.
It is but one year since the best bank paper was at 1 and 1 1/2 per cent per month. Commercial paper was at 2, 3, and 4 per cent per month.
The delegations of the Government upon the point of falling into 35 and 40 per cent.
By a successive progression since the 30th October, the interest of all these securities has been lowered.
Bank paper has fallen 1 1/4 per cent and more. It is placed at the Bank of France at 1 per cent, for two advances.
The Bank of Commerce reckons all the effect of known merchants at 7 1/2 per cent.
The capitalists offer and place funds at 6 per cent for a year.
The effects of the Government, as well as the obligations of the receivers, having been duly acquitted up to this day, are receivable like ordinary commercial effects, and less less than the bills of the firms of Calonne.
In short, the rents are twelve per cent. that is to say, the property of the renter is ameliorated more than 4 1/2.
A year, less than a year, has produced this change: and during that year there have been created three armies, without reckoning that which was organized at Amiens, part of the arrears of the preceding year have been paid off, a new administration has been organized. We have vanquished wherever we have fought, and paved the way for peace.
What will be the result, if that peace, offered by the Republic before entering the field, offered after victory, shall at last reanimate commerce, incultry and the arts?
Offer these short observations. Citizens, to the hopes of Republicans, and the reflections of their enemies.
Russians.—The news from the North of Germany, and the best informed journals in the quarter, state that the Russians are approaching more and more towards the Austrian frontiers. The army which is now at Brezeck, and on the banks of the Vistula consists of four grand divisions, each of 20,000 men, of which a third are cavalry. The first is commanded by General Lascy, the second by General Reibinder; the third by Gen. Soltikow, and the fourth by Korlakoff. Prince Pancratien is finally appointed Commander in Chief of all these forces. Besides this army, a second is forming in Lithuania, and on the shores of the Baltic. At the same time it is now certain that the best understanding prevails between the two Imperial Courts, and that Russia takes the most lively interest in the conclusion of the war, and in the future destiny of the Empire.
MARSEILLES, August 4.
The British blockade on our ports more closely than ever, they lately seized 16 vessels returning from Beaucaire. Upwards of 150 Genoese and other vessels are detained at Ciotat and Cassis because they dare not doubt the Cape of Dumeire behind which the enemy's ships are constantly concealed. A Spanish vessel in attempting to pass, fell into their hands.
A caisn lately entered this port, having the prisoners on board that belonged to the Guillaume Tell.
LONDON, August 27.
Captain Duval of the navy, arrived yesterday at the admiralty, with dispatches from Lord Whitworth at Copenhagen. There was a council of his majesty's ministers on the occasion, consisting of the duke of Portland, earls Chatham Spencer and Liverpool, lord Grenville, the chancellor of the exchequer, and Mr. Dundas. The deliberations lasted from eleven till four in the afternoon. Capt. Duval left town last night with the result of the council, to admiral Dickson, to be forwarded for Lord Whitworth.
This morning were received Paris papers to the 24th inst. which were obtained by a Graveland passage vessel that arrived at Dover on Monday night. A paper of the 23d mentions the intended journey of the king of
Prussia into Silesia. On the subject of peace we find but one paragraph in the Clef du Cabinet, "It is said (says this journal) that the preliminaries of peace are signed; and, among other articles, one is quoted, which states that the belligerent powers shall remain masters in Italy of their mutual conquests."
Yesterday a rumour was very prevalent in the city, of fresh overtures for peace having been made to this country by the Chief Consul. The funds, which had fallen in the morning, rose towards the close of the day one per cent., and considerable purchases were made. We have not learnt that any messenger has arrived directly from the Chief Consul, but some advices from France were, we believe, received by government on Sunday, and a flag of truce with dispatches failed from Dover for Calais yesterday. We understand also that government received dispatches yesterday from Vienna, dated the 5th inst. containing the answer of the Chief Consul, to the dispatches which the Austrian government, after the receipt of the determination of the court of London, transmitted to Paris. In this answer Buonaparte has expressed a willingness to treat with Great Britain and Austria jointly.—Upon these dispatches a Cabinet Council was held, and it is probable that a negotiation between the three powers may take place immediately.
According to the advices received yesterday by Mr. Buitendy, the messenger, who brought dispatches from Constantinople as well as Vienna, there is reason to believe that General Kleber has been murdered, as has been before reported.
An express has been received at the Admiralty from Cork, which announces the sailing of ten men of war, and four armed ships, with troops on board, on Friday last, to join the rest of the armament engaged in an expedition, the object of which is still kept a profound secret.
By accounts from the grand fleet, we find that one of the transports falling badly, did not arrive off Ushant till all the others were gone from the fleet—in consequence of which an order was given for the single transport to repair to Belleisle immediately; from this it is evident, that although that may not be the place of attack, it is most certainly the place of rendezvous. The result of all the reports is, that Belleisle is the object of the expedition.
STRASBURG, August 13.
The fire which is now raging in the vast forests near Freudentstadt and Kneibis, has lasted for 10 days. The smoke was still seen from this place yesterday. All the inhabitants of the adjacent districts are employed in digging trenches to prevent its progress. The flames have already extended over a space of between eight and ten leagues. The right bank of the Rhine has not been exempt from this misfortune, and the superb forest of Haguenau has been three times ravaged by the fire. In the department of the Upper Rhine sixty acres of wood have been consumed. Another violent fire has taken place at Kayserberg and Worth, about two leagues from this place.
BERLIN, August 7.
The report for some time past in circulation, that Russia and Prussia would have recourse to an armed mediation, for the purpose of re-establishing tranquility, is destitute of foundation. Exertions are certainly made by our court in conjunction with that of Petersburg, to induce the belligerent powers to conclude a peace that will restore, as far as possible, the balance of Europe; but those exertions do not exceed the medium of negotiation.
VIENNA, August 6.
The Count de Kelehubey let out from Petersburg on the 26th of last month for this capital, entrusted, as it is said, with an important mission relative to the march of a Russian army towards the frontiers of the two Galacias.
FRANKFORT, August 13.
All the French troops that were here, both infantry and cavalry, marched out yesterday and proceeded to the upper Mein. They were immediately replaced by the troops from Holland. They are well equipped and in the best possible condition. The commander in chief, Angereau, is expected this day, and there is every appearance that he will fix his head-quarters at Frankfort.
There is little room to hope that we shall be freed from the French soldiery during the war. They are most probably to remain till a pacification is concluded; but when that is to happen cannot easily be conjectured. It is even presumed, and not without grounds, that though the preliminaries should immediately be signed between France and Austria, the French would not abandon the line which they now occupy, and that the general retrograde movement will only take place at the conclusion of a definitive peace with the Emperor and the empire.
BERNE, August 10.
The new government has been installed, and has published a proclamation to the people.—Nevertheless, the members of the Senate, who refused to agree to the new measures, and were prevented from assembling in the ordinary place of their sittings, shut by order of government, have assembled at an Inn, held their sittings, voted aside the government, and had almost declared the members of it outlaws. If we are to credit certain whispers from this sanctuary of the laws, in spite of the profound mystery in which they wrap themselves, they are proposing to fix their place of meeting in some other town, and take every measure to overthrow the usurping government. They are endeavoring, it is said, to bring over some members of the Grand Council to their side, to aid the execution of this fine project.
EDINBURGH, August 29.
On Tuesday last arrived in Leith Roads, the Lark armed huffer from the sound. The merchants ships that have arrived, and which failed under convoy of the Lark, and Martin sloop, left Elsinore so late as Thursday last, at which time Admiral Dickson, with the ships of war under his command, were at anchor near the Castle. They had cruised for some days in the offing, and had sent up a ship to learn the state of things; when the ships of war were invited up and orders given for their being supplied with provisions and water. A passenger who came by one of the
merchant ships reports, that the opinion before he left Elsinore was, that matters would be amicably settled. Adm. Dickson and several of his officers having been invited on shore to dine on the day the fleet departed.
A gentleman is arrived at Edinburgh, who left Copenhagen yesterday evening. He brings intelligence that admiral Dickson's fleet had arrived at Elsinore, near which a Danish fleet, consisting of ships of war, was lying.—The British and Danish fleets saluted each other with great politeness. Admiral Dickson's fleet, by order of Lord Whitworth, had passed up above the Castle, and was lying on the inside of the Danish fleet.
A letter received by a gentleman in Edinburgh, dated Pittsburgh, July 17, O. S. says, "It is of some importance for you to know that ships coming hither, having on board a protected master, where the real master appears as purser, supercargo, or common sailor, are exposed to the risk of being sent away without being permitted to unload or enter the port."
ARMY OF BATAVIA.
Head-quarters, at Hoeksl. August 13.
The Gen. in Chief, Angereau, having considered the representation of the Senat of the city of Frankfort, in which he states to him the great inconveniencies which result to the inhabitants from the orders given to the guards placed at the gates of the city, and from the preventing of the free passage of carriages laden with merchandise; and considering farther, that such an arrangement, by retrenching the commercial connections between France and Germany, is prejudicial to the well understood interests of the Republic, decrees,
Art. I. The military posts of the French army are forbidden to oppose, in any manner the free passage of provisions or merchandise of whatever kind, entering in or coming out of the city of Frankfort, either in carriages or vessels.
Art. II. Whatever may be done contrary to the preceding article shall be regarded null and void.
(Signed) AUGEREAU.
ARMY OF RESERVE.
Summary of a letter from the adjutant-general Dauvergne, second in command of Staff.
Head-quarters: Contornon, August, 19.
The counsellor of state, Brune, commander in chief of the army of reserve, received on the 15th instant, orders to set out immediately to take command of the brave army o. It ly. This general, before his departure, gave up the command of the army of reserve, to general Cauclaux, inspector general of cavalry; an officer in every respect worthy of esteem, and who has given, upon every occasion, unequivocal proofs of his devotion to the public good.
The general in chief, Brune, before he left the army of reserve, gave orders to the 4th provisional demi-brigade of the East, and to the 1st battalion of the volunteers of reserve, to set out for the army of Italy. These corps will be replaced by an equal number of troops from the army of Italy, who require to recruit themselves in France.
This small column is marching in the direction for Milan, under the command of general Clement, and adjutant-general Dauvergne.
The signal services which general Brune has rendered in the different armies, and particularly that of Italy, are certain pledges of the new triumphs which he is preparing for his country.
(Signed) DAUVERGNE.
VIENNA, August 9.
Count St. Julien, the very next day after his arrival, had a long conference with Baron Thugut, who went afterwards to the Emperor at Holzenhoff, of whom the Count likewise had a long audience on the 7th instant. The general report was that the basis of the preliminaries between France and Austria, planned at Paris, would be accepted, with some modifications; the Emperor is said to have held a Council of State, in which he accepted those preliminaries, and declared the subsidiary aid offered by Britain, in consequence of the great alteration in his affairs since the 20th of June, when the treaty with Great Britain was concluded.
With Count St. Julien arrived also general Zach, who was a prisoner of war at Paris; he has leave of absence for six weeks, within which time he will be exchanged. It was at first said that Count Durand had arrived, but he has not yet reached Vienna.—General Zach was mistaken for him on their first arrival.
Intelligence has been received that the Queen of Naples, with her children, had arrived at Trieste, accompanied by Admiral Nelson and Lady Hamilton. After resting a few days, she was to continue her journey to Vienna.
The Porte has refused to grant passports to the Chevalier Corral, the new intended Spanish minister to that court, declaring that no ambassador from that court would be received until a general peace should take place. The interference of the Prussian ministers, both at Vienna and Constantinople, was quite ineffectual.

Gazette of the United States PHILADELPHIA. MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6
The person, who yesterday received a packet of papers from a Gentleman in the New-York Stage, directed to the Editor of the Gazette of the United States, and who, intent on the interest of this paper, very obligingly told the Gentleman he would deliver it—has our thanks for his intention, but his compliance with his promise would have evinced a greater mark of friendship. We have not yet received the packet;—this circumstance we presume will be a sufficient apology with our Readers, for the late hour at which we furnish the news.
We are informed that preparations are making for commencing the drawing of the Church Lottery in this city, at the time fixed on, (the first day of December next,) and that but very few of the Tickets remain on hand.
A Virginia paper says that some WHITE PEOPLE have been concerned in the late Negro insurrection.—What say Tench Coxe and Gallatin, what say Lieb, Fries and Duane? What say Dallas? What say the United Irishmen?—Do they know any who were concerned in the insurrection or who wrote letters to Gabriel and his associates, We are fond of asking questions, Duane.
