THE LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
NEW-YORK, October 20.
London papers to September 9.
Inclusive, were received at the office of the Daily Advertiser yesterday, by the Two Friends, capt. Gardner, 39 days from London. They contain various intelligence of considerable interest, which we will continue in succeeding papers.
LONDON, September 6.
All the intelligence received from the continent, either from the Paris papers or the Hamburg mail, has much more the appearance of war than the preceding. The opinion of the best informed persons, however, is favorable to peace, at least so far as regards the continent; and it must be confessed, that the reasoning on which that opinion is founded seems to be much stranger than the impression made by the foreign news is in favor of war. On the side of France, the consular government has solemnly promised peace, as the price of that revolution by which it has been established on the ruins of the directorial government. Peace is the general wish of the French, and the hope of their sole support in the midst of the calamities they suffer. The first Consul knows perfectly well, that his rivals and his enemies find more materials to satisfy their jealousy and their hatred in the continuation of the war, than they could after the conclusion of a peace. The most brilliant triumphs will not be sufficient to calm the discontents which must result from the continuance of the war, unless those triumphs shall lead immediately to the restoration of tranquillity.
On the side of Austria, every thing seems in like manner to tend towards peace, notwithstanding the present appearances of war. We have seen during this campaign, that a misunderstanding prevails among the Generals, discouragement among the inferior officers, and among the soldiers a discontent approaching to insurrection in some parts of the army. The presence of the Archduke at the head of the armies would indeed remove the greater part of the disorders; but the prevailing party at the Court of Vienna opposes his return, or at least refuses to consent to it on the terms which that Prince requires, in order to free himself from the shackles by which he was last year fettered; and, besides, whatever courage or emulation his presence might communicate to the troops, he could not make them equal in numbers to those of the enemy, and enable them to make head to the formidable and well connected front which the French present from Mentz to the Mediterranean sea. The German papers have indeed told us, that the army of the Danube has received reinforcements, but without saying to what amount; that of the Tyrol becomes more considerable every day; and that the army of Italy has been augmented by 27,000 men. But these accounts are less positive than those which present to our view the effective march of the reinforcements that are repairing to the armies of the enemy. The troops of Kray, d'Aspre, and their repeated discomfited and continual retreats, are unfit to resist those of Moreau. It is against the army of Tyrol, that the first efforts of the French will be made; and when we see a general, like Baron Staader, opposed in that quarter to such a man as Lecourbe, the bets cannot be in favour of the success of the former.
Whatever reinforcements may be sent to Italy, we much doubt whether they will be able to fill up the void made in the army of Melas by his frequent defeats, and the desertion of the Italians, who compose the major part of it. To which it may be added, that these reinforcements, formed of new levies, cannot be compared with those of the French, who, for ten years, have heard only the din of arms, the shouts of liberty, the recitals, true or false, of their multiplied victories, and declamations against the powers of wishing to dismember their country, and bring them again under the yoke of slavery. Thus is it they fanaticize their troops, and give to their conscripts and requisitionists an enthusiasm which supplies the want of experience.
When we reflect, therefore on the interest which the first Consul has to make peace, and on the extreme difficulty which the Emperor must find to carry on the war, we are inclined to believe, that all formidable preparations which seem to banish all hope of the former, and render the latter immediately inevitable, may terminate in a manner less terrible than these hostile appearances seem to indicate. Whether the Court of Vienna wishes to have the semblance of being forced to extricate itself from the engagements it has contracted with Great Britain, or whether it has really a repugnance to the conditions offered by the first Consul, we are apt to think that either hostilities will not be renewed, or that they will be made a mere pretence, and that consequently a peace of some kind will take place on the Continent which will last as long as it may be maintainable. This pacification would be much more satisfactory to the wishes of the public, if it should have for promoters and guarantors the two great powers Russia and Prussia.
As to the negotiation, or rather the proposition made by the first Consul to our Government to enter into a negotiation, we yesterday stated on what it turned, and we persist in believing that all negotiation will be for the present rejected, because it is not less the interest of the first Consul to insist
on a suspension of arms by sea than it is ours peremptorily to refuse.
September 9.
General Massena and Augereau have arrived at Paris. Lieutenant General Mon-dey will have the provisional command of the army of Italy, till the arrival of Gen. Brune. An immense park of artillery, accompanied by several Neapolitan and Roman officers, driven from their country, has reached Milan, from which city they write, that Pavia and Ravenna have been again occupied by the Republicans.
September 3.
Yesterday we received Paris Journals to the 29th. Large reinforcements are marching to the armies, and great preparations are making for war. One of the papers by its comments shews the public fear that hostilities will be renewed; and that this feeling prevails, we perceive by the state of the funds. The Tiers Contre have fallen to 314, the price at which they were last. The Paris Journals give no information respecting the Negotiation.
In London, the public hopes appear to be more sanguine than in Paris. The funds on Saturday rose considerably, and surprised those who saw no reason for such a change. Many circumstances were reported to have occasioned the rise; all of them relating to a negotiation for peace. The frequent arrival and departure of vessels between Calais and Dover last week naturally produced conjectures that the two governments were communicating, and the state of the funds shewed that the inference drawn was of a favourable kind. We cannot state the nature of the dispatches conveyed in those vessels; but it is certain that an intercourse has taken place, which has the opening of a negotiation for its object. That object will, probably soon be attained. We believe the rise of the funds on Saturday, was the effect of the determination of the Cabinet Council on Friday. The question of treating with France in conjunction with Austria was, it is said fully discussed, and favourably settled in the Cabinet Council on Tuesday; the result of that Council was sent to the king for approbation; his Majesty's opinion was received, and another Cabinet Council held on Friday, finally to determine the course to be pursued. That Council we suppose, resolved to negotiate; and the knowledge of this fact raised the funds on Saturday. Whether the offer to treat will be made through Otto, in answer to the overtures he gave in a week ago, or whether it will be sent to Paris through Vienna is uncertain. But a negotiation will probably commence soon; and we expect Mr. Thomas Grenville will be appointed to carry it on.
The late dispatches from Lord Whitworth we have reason to believe, were less satisfactory than Government expected. The Danish Minister, we are told, assumed a lofty tone, declaring, that although his Danish Majesty should be unaided by Russia or Sweden, he would not surrender the rights of nations, and oppose, to the extent of his powers, the growing tyranny of the British Flag.
Government have received accounts of increased exertions to prepare the British Fleet for sea—that considerable bodies of troops had been ordered thither from the Interior; and that Buonaparte was about to repair to Brest to accelerate and animate the meditated enterprise.
The Court of Vienna on ratifying the Treaty with this country on the 12th ult. issued a Declaration to all the Courts of Europe, announcing the determination of his Imperial Majesty not to treat with France, except in conjunction with England and his other allies.
September 2.
The French Council of Prizes on the 25th of July last pronounced sentence respecting the ship Statura, capt. Seward, taken under American colours, ordering the ship and every thing belonging to her to be restored, and condemning the cargo as a good prize.
Ally, the friend of Franklin, and the Counsellor of Turgot, died lately at Paris, at the age of eighty-five.
Extract of a letter from Elsinore, Aug 23.
"Admiral Dickson's fleet, except the Tender and Sulpher bomb-vessels, which have been obliged to put into Warberg, are anchored here in the Sound, above the Castle. The bomb-vessels are gone farther up towards Copenhagen. This certainly has a very serious appearance, but we shall have little doubt that the dispute will be adjusted without proceeding to extremities. The last convoy, which was rather numerous, failed two days ago under convoy of the Martin sloop of war. All the vessels that arrive from the Baltic are ordered to proceed through to about a league below the Castle, where the Wackzambeld is in waiting to take charge of them."
Extract of a private letter from Lisbon, dated August 7.
"It is now said that in the propositions made to Portugal by France, no money is demanded. The terms are, an Offensive and Defensive Alliance; that the privileges of the French shall be equal to those of the most favoured nations; that 6 ships of each of the Belligerent Powers may be received in the Tagus, and no more; and lastly, that Goa shall be ceded to France, for which she offers to give to Portugal a tract of land contiguous to the Brazils."
"The answer of this Government is said to be, that Portugal certainly wishes for peace, and is ready to treat with France, provided the terms offered be not inconsistent with her treaties with England, who has been her ally for so long a period, and with whom she is determined to preserve her friendship. It is added,"
that some of the propositions now made are evidently of a nature that cannot be complied with."
The most positive orders are given to all of their employed on the sea-coast, to be very watchful in regard to Aliens, and to arrest such as may be found without the limits prescribed by the act of parliament.
FROM THE SUN OF SEPT. 3.
We extract the following article from the Courier de Londres of last night. Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Aug. 26. "I have learned through a certain channel that, in the conferences which Duroc has had with general Kray, the latter has formally declared, that until a Monarchy be established in France, neither Europe nor France can calculate on peace. Buonaparte has two lines of conduct to pursue, either to make a King, or to become one himself. The army of Italy appears to be in these intentions. Immediately after the battle of Marengo, it was in agitation to declare Buonaparte King, the army of Germany, it is said, is inclined towards a prince of the House of Bourbon. Moreau has had very frequent communications, not only with general Kray, but even with the Court of Vienna. The Court has proposed simply to re-establish Louis XVIII. Moreau has transmitted this proposition to Buonaparte. I cannot say what the Chief Consul may have in his head, but it is certain that he plans fresh changes. Before long you may expect a new and a great Revolution."
On this letter the Editor of the Courier de Londres makes the following remarks:
"These details reached us too late on Friday last to be inserted in our paper. Several English papers have attacked the Postscript in which we announced them. We declare in the first place, that whether peace or war take place, we buoy ourselves up with no hopes. In the present arrangements, France and Europe appear to us equally ruined. We have no doubt that a revolution will soon be made in France; but we can foretell that this revolution will be similar to those which have preceded it; that it will resolve no difficulty, and that the public and private calamities will only be augmented by it."
FRANCE.

PORTSMOUTH, September 6.
Pursuant to an order from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a Court Martial was held on board the Gladiator, in this harbour, yesterday, on Mr. George Hudson, Sur-
geon of his Majesty's ship Beaver, for striking and using reproachful language to Lieutenant Symons, of the said ship.
MEMBERS OF THE COURT.
Admiral Holloway, President, Capt. E. Harvey, Capt. Pickmore, J. S. Yorke, Grey, Macnamara, Loring, Larcom, Mainwaring, Poyntz, Prufe, M. Greatham, Esq. Judge Advocate.
The charge having been proved against the said Mr. G. Hudson, and as the offence falls under the 22d article of war, the Court did therefore adjudge him to suffer death on board such ship of his Majesty, at Spithead, or in Portsmouth harbour; and at such time as the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of Great Britain and Ireland, &c. or any three of them for the time being, should direct. But it appearing that the offence proceeded from an error in judgement of the said George Hudson, and the Court being fully convinced thereof, by the contrition, he repeatedly exhibited as soon as he was aware of the same and by his very earnest desire to make atonement for the offence—the Court did in the most earnest and impressive manner, recommend the said George Hudson for mercy.
On Tuesday next a Court Martial is to be held on Lieutenant Pacey, of the Beaver, for drunkenness and neglect of duty.

FRANKFORT Aug. 15.
Letters from Vienna, which may be considered as authentic, contain the following details:
"The English ambassador, Lord Minto, moves heaven and earth to prevent the Emperor from concluding a separate peace with France, an event which is considered here as certain and immediate. This ambassador has just made some new offers to our court, which would have been advantageous three months ago, but which are not so now. They are as follows:
1. The English minister engages, if the Emperor will continue the war, to keep up in Italy an army of 35 000 chosen English troops under the command of General Abercrombie, who shall continue there till a General Peace. 2. To make an attack on the Island of Zealand with a powerful force, to proclaim the Stadtholder, and after the conquest of them, to keep up a force there to menace Holland and Belgium, thus compelling the French Government to maintain a considerable force in these countries. 3. To pay to the house of Austria a new and very considerable subsidy, under the title of a Loan, and upon very favourable terms. In a word, besides this, England should have an army of 50,000 Austrians, to be maintained and paid by her during a year. The same letters which furnish us these details, state that a Russian General had arrived here as a courier, with dispatches from his court, which are said to be of the highest importance and it is now certain that the best understanding prevails between the two courts.
VERONA, August 10.
The following has just been published here: Convention concerning the line of demarcation in Italy, concluded between the general in chief of the army of his Imperial Majesty, and the general in chief of the French army in Italy, by their Plenipotentiaries, the Adjutant general Citizen Reille, and Count Nugent, Major of the Imperial staff.
Article I. The posts of the French armies shall extend along the Po, to where it receives the Panaro. The line goes to the left bank of the Panaro, to the point where the canal begins, which is the Bondero, and empties itself into the Battello di Ferara; on the right, it goes to St. Maria Magdalena, and extends through the canal Angelina Palora di Reno, up to its falling into the Po Primavera, and thence into the sea. The line of the Austrian advanced posts before Ferara, goes through the Blaso and Ospedale, Serena, Mizana, Forlanovo, on the left banks of the Po Veleno as far as the sea.
II. The track of country between the advanced posts of both armies between the Po Veleno and the Po Primaro, shall not be occupied by troops, but it shall be left to the disposition of the French, to draw provisions out of it.
III. The navigation of the Po shall be entirely free, provided the ships have the necessary passports from the respective commanders. Respecting the salt that might be obtained from Mesola, no exportation duty can be demanded of it. The free navigation of that part of Po separating the two armies, shall not, however, extend to armed vessels, or to such as have troops on board.
IV. The line of demarcation between the two armies, in the south of Italy, commences near the sea between Pescara and Fano, through the territory of the Republic of St. Marino, and thence to the frontiers of Tuscany, along the frontiers of the Duchy of Urbino. The territory of the Republic of St. Marino remains neutral. This line shall on no pretence whatever, be passed by the troops of the two armies, during the whole time of the duration of the armistice.
V. The couriers and officers of the imperial army going from the army to Ancona, and from Ancona to the army, shall go from Ferrara through Ravenna, and thence by the road of Maestra. They may take with them
their carriages and baggage, if furnished with passports from the Austrian commanders.
VI. Whenever the general in chief of the Imperial army shall wish to send troops to Tuscany, to relieve those stationed there, the general in chief of the French army will furnish them with passports for a free passage thither and back again.
VII. The inhabitants of the districts occupied by one army wishing to go to those countries occupied by the other, may do so, by routes which will be pointed out to them, if they have the necessary passports.
VIII. The generals in chief of both armies will speedily give orders for putting the present convention into execution.
Duplicates of this Convention executed at Verona, the 31st of July, 1800, 12 Thermidor, year 8.
[From the 4th article of this convention it appears, among other things, that while the armistice exists, the French will not undertake an expedition against the King of Naples.]
PARIS, August 29.
The chief consul has appointed Citizen Lescallier, counsellor of state, maritime prefect of L'Orient.
By a decree of the 7th Fructidor, Aug. 25, a former decree of the directory, establishing a duty of 5 per cent on the produce of all captures by privateers or national vessels, for the maintenance of French prisoners of war; is continued in force.
The duties on plays, balls, shews, &c. &c. are to be levied as last year.
Letters from Hamburgh of the 18th August, state that the magistrates of that city have fined the printers of the Genset, the one an hundred crowns, the other 200. The editors M. M. Berlin and Mermont, have been condemned to three months close imprisonment, after which they are to take an oath not to re-appear within the jurisdiction of Hamburgh.
M. de Kopp, the minister from Cassel entrusted, it is said, with a particular mission to the first consul, has arrived at Paris.
VIENNA, August 16.
As soon as the Adjutant of Buonaparte, Citizen Duroc, had arrived at Alt-Oettingen or more properly, Braunau, in Bavaria, and from thence had sent a Courier on to this City, Count Lehrbach, or according to others Count Dietrichstein, was sent off to Braunau, accompanied only by a Secretary. The report that Citizen Duroc was to go on to Vienna, and that he only waited at Braunau till he obtained passes, is entirely false. It is now known that it was agreed on at Paris, between the Chief Consul and Count St. Julien, that a conference and the necessary diplomatic proceedings should take place between Duroc and an Austrian Plenipotentiary at Braunau, on the Bavarian frontier. It is now asserted that at Braunau the preliminaries of peace were signed, or according to some the ratifications of the preliminaries exchanged. Citizen Duroc set out immediately for Paris, so that there is no longer a doubt of a peace between France and Austria. The English ambassador, Lord Minto, has sent off a Courier to his Court with an account of what has passed. Some affirm that the convention with England is ratified, but under such stipulations that it is no obstacle to the Treaty of Peace with France.
General St. Julien, besides the Ratification of the Convention concluded after the Battle of Marengo, has brought the Ratification of two other conventions.
AUGSBURGH, August 13.
Gen. Dufresnes yesterday made it no secret, that Adjutant-General Duroc was carrying back to Paris the Preliminaries of Peace signed by the Emperor. The Modifications which the Court of Vienna has suggested to be made in the Propositions of the Chief Consul, are of that kind, that a Definitive Treaty may soon be expected to take place. Duroc did not go to Vienna, but Count Dietrichstein, who was appointed to meet him at Alt-Oettingen, conducted the Negotiations with him. The principle Headquarters still here, but are expected to be removed.
A Congress for Peace will probably soon be opened, which will not be of long duration.
FALMOUTH, August 30.
On Thursday last arrived here the American brig Maryland, capt. Tyson, in 36 days from Baltimore; parted on Tuesday last the homeward bound Jamaica fleet, consisting of about 75 sail, under convoy of his Majesty's ship Hannibal.
LONDON, Sept. 6.
INUNDATION IN CHINA.
The late overland dispatch brought recent accounts from Canton, stating that an uncommon succession of rain had laid entire districts in China under water. The great river Hoambo had been swollen to such excess, as totally to wash from its banks many of the villages which adorned them, and inundate all the adjacent country. Such of the inhabitants as escaped this awful visitation, had fled with the remains of their property to the hills.
The beautiful and level plains, which lately exhibited all the rich variety of cultivation, were at the date of these accounts, covered with boats employed in collecting the wreck of the country floating on the waters.
LONDON, September 3.
Price of Stocks.
Three per cent. 63 3/4—R.d. for October, 66—for money 65 1/4.

LONDON September 2. Extract of a letter from Sir Sidney Smith to General Menon, Commander in Chief of the French army in Egypt, dated Joppa, 22d June, 1800.
"GENERAL, "I received this evening the letter dated the 20th June, which you have done me the honor to write me—At the moment at which I expected to see General Kleber under the most fortunate and favorable auspices, I learn with highest chagrin, and with the greatest grief, his tragical death. (The letter will appear in full to-morrow.)"
September 2. Massena and Brune, are about to repair to Paris, where it appears that the Commanders in Chief of all the armies of the Republic have assembled, a circumstance which is of itself sufficient to remove all idea of the resumption of hostilities. If there were not other less ostensible reasons for this, it is erroneously supposed by some, that the trifling fall in the French Funds was an anti-pacific symptom. It is the natural consequence of the delay which the new turn that the negotiations have taken has produced, in their expected issue.

September 3. The following is the price of the French Funds during the three first days of the present month:

The French Journalists are, it seems, very angry, because the Russian Ambassador at Berlin has given a splendid supper to Lord Canning—But these men should not be so much vexed at this repast, since it has afforded them a Bone to Pick.
It is rather unlucky for the French Consul, that as soon as he has determined to satisfy the will of the French People, by giving them a Navy the woods of France should be destroyed by fire. But the French Consul may, however, console himself with the idea that his nation is saved the expense of ship building, and the consequent surrender of its navy to British valor, or its sacrifice by British thunder.
General Menon, if report may be trusted, has actually contributed to the death of Kleber, whose fate he affects to deplore; but as Menon is now a Musselman, he perhaps considered it a religious duty to destroy a Christian, though from the conduct of the French in Egypt, he had no reason to believe that any of them could be entitled to such an appellation.
Among the prizes given by Buonaparte for the encouragement of the navy, there is no one so likely to be attended with beneficial effects to the French, as that which holds out encouragement to the men who can stop a horse under water. The Rogues who aim at the hull will find employment for them.
SUN.
September 6. Yesterday alices were received from Minorca. By these we learn, that the 35th regiment, which is 1900 strong, has been sent to Malta. The force under General Abercrombie, consisting of about 900 men, have sailed to the Eastward, supposed to be destined for Egypt; and the general had left orders that the 4000 men which were landed on the island of Houat, but were afterwards re-embarked for the Mediterranean, should follow him. Among these are several hundred cavalry.
A council of the Cabinet Ministers was yesterday held at Lord Grenville's Office, on the advice received from the Continent. His Grace the Duke of Portland, Earls of Chatham and Camden; Lord Grenville, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer attended the meeting.
Three Flags of Truce arrived on Wednesday at Dover from Calais, with dispatches. In the last came over some passengers.
It is reported that Major General Knox is appointed to be Governor General of Jamaica; and that he is immediately to set out to the West-Indies.
The Duke of Wittenberg, with the Hereditary Prince, and his Ministers, Count Zepelin and Baron Norman, is now at Vienna, and has had several audiences of the Emperor.
A letter from Denmark, dated August 26, states that all the Danish Officers, Naval and Military, upon leave of absence, are ordered immediately to join their corps and march to the sea side.
On the 22d ultimo, Admiral Sir Richard Bickerton, who commands off Cadiz, in the Swiftsure, gave a fresh notice to the foreign Consuls residing in that city, that the port of Cadiz continued in a state of blockade. All neutral vessels going into that harbour unloaded, would pass free and without being searched; but that no loaded ships, coming from that port, would be permitted to sail without a passport first obtained from the commanding officer in the Mediterranean.
September 9. It was on the 29th ultimo, that Lord Whitworth signed the Convention with Count Bernadotte, the Danish Minister. The following is a copy of a note written by his Lordship to one of our ministers abroad on the subject, and is more explanatory than any thing that has been published on the subject:—
"COPENHAGEN, Aug. 30, 1800.
"I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, that I yesterday signed a Convention with the Danish Minister, on terms satisfactory to his Majesty, and such as will, I think, strengthen the bonds of friendship and alliance between the two countries.
(Signed) "WHITWORTH."
The following are the principle articles of the Convention:—
"The Danish frigate and convoy, carried into Deal, shall be repaired at the expense of Great Britain, and then released.
"The disposition respecting the asserted right of the English to visit Convoys shall be adjourned to a further Negotiation in London.
"Until this point is decided, Danish ships shall only sail under convoy in the
Mediterranean Seas, to protect them from the Algerine corsairs. The Danish ships shall be liable to be searched as heretofore.
"The Convention shall be ratified by the two Courts within 3 weeks.

M. MCCONNELL, Chesnut street, No. 143.
The Editor of the Walpole paper is conspicuous for his felicity in the art of punning, a mode of exciting merriment, which, though sometimes derided by the lofty fastidiosity of attic wit will be continued, while men remember that Cicero and Swift, did not disdain to play with words. We find the following Jue de mot in the Farmer's Museum. In a London paper, the marriage of a Miss Fish to a Mr. Hook, is mentioned. The young lady had a fortune of £20,000 and married her paramour without a penny, by a neat scriptural allusion, the London Editor remark that the draft may well be called miraculous. But, adds, the Walpole Editor, we suppose the lady, biting an unbaited hook, must be an odd fish indeed.
From the returns published in the Easton Paper, it appears probable that the Democrats will carry their ticket in Bucks County, the returns, however, from Newton and Bristol that county had not been received, and no returns has yet been received from Wayne county.
For the 24 hours preceding Saturday morning, sun-rise, there were 12 deaths in Baltimore and its vicinity.

The Governor of South Carolina has issued his proclamation, offering a reward of one hundred dollars, for apprehending Joseph John Martin, who was lately charged with passing counterfeit Bank Bills, and thereon was committed to the gaol of Kershaw district, at Camden, from whence he escaped in the night of the twenty-ninth of September last.
10,000 Barrels of Flour arrived lately at Havana in one week, in consequence of which no sales could be effected without considerable loss.
A procession, in honour of the meeting of Congress, is proposed in the Georgetown papers.
GORMANDIZING.
Yesterday afternoon a countryman from Morris's River, contracted with an oyster man to pay him fifty cents, if he would open as many oysters for him as he could eat—The oyster man had opened nearly one hundred oysters, which the countryman devoured, when he wished the countryman to give up the bargain; but the countryman persisted until he had eaten upwards of Three Hundred,
to the great astonishment of the bye-standers, and the mortification of the poor oyster man who sincerely repented his bargain—The oyster man then begged him to desist, but the countryman persisted, saying he had not enough; and he would most probably have eaten the whole in the barrow, but by the solicitations of the bye-standers, he let the oyster man off and paid him the 50 cents. During this voracious meal, the countryman drank seven large glasses of brandy and water and eat twelve large biscuits.

London, September 4. "Advises from Germany and France, indicate a renewal of war on the continent, and which is to be decided by the 11th instant. The Emperor's submission to the terms of France, can alone prevent it. We have also advice of the 29th ultimo, from Paris, that your Commission is renewed, and that the negotiation is again proceeding. We hope in consequence of fuller instructions from your executive.
