FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PATERS.•

PARIS, AUOCST R.

The Minister of Marine arrived at Bndlogne np
Tu?sday the Gth inst. and was busily employed for
several hours with the Emperor, at his Majesty's

One of our Journals contains the following :an
" WC have every reason to believe that Government
has received satisfactory accounts of the Combined
Squadrons. Every thing seems to announce that
great events are at hand, the success of which is ex-
pected with that confidence which the mind and the
fortune of him who bas prepared and duetted them
must inspire."

The preparations in oar dock•yarde. and ecpe.
cially at Antwerp, are carried on with great taia
•ity ; eight large ships of war are in a very forward
state.

Tb"y write from Strasbnrgh, that the Emperor is
shortly expeCted in that city, where a guard of ho-
nour is organised, and other preparations are making
for Lis recepticn.

--111.0thT 9.
On the 7th, the Emperor reviewed the wh3lz flo—
tilla at Boulogne, and found it in a very gond sate;
on which he testified his satisfaCtion to trio Minister
of Marine.

One of ofxr Journals asserts, that the War-Mi-
nister, Rerthier, is appointed Chief of the Staff of
the Army of England, and that Marshal Lines
will command the van.

In the official Journal of yesterday, we read the
following article from Ragusa, which, in the present
situation of affairs, is very imp ,rtant :
" Baron Rosetti is returning to Vienna from di
mouths of the Cattaro, to give an account of his
four years' admia:stration of that part of the %us-
trian dominions. There can be no doubt but his
Government has required of Lim some tires!. el•tcia
dation: respeetinK the precarious siteastiar ut thus,
Provinces and the surrounding ter itot y. I: k.. ws
all the exertions of the Russians to induce the Greeks
in its States, and those in Turkey, to he,ome
obedient to their masters. Will it see, without COO-
cern, a Russian army unnecessarily assembled in
the lonian Islands, which are 111C111CCJ ay no dan-
ger, anti spreading over the Continent, and there
endeavouring to corrupt the loyal. y of the t hies,
making use of the similarity of religion to procurer
partisans; who, its hopes of being sited with tf.i.in
in a new empire, are sowing the seeds of a Ri.vo:u•
tion, of which Russia will u. ready at the ti.*st mo-
ment to favour the progress, and of wirico s..a aisme
wi:l reap all the fruits?"

I'he Alretenr of yesterday and of this day, cod.
tains two important articles; the first is a full ac-
count of the siege of St. Domingo by the Biati.S.s,
and of their complete defeat ; the second ,s a I.ller
report from Admiral Verhael to ...le Emperr ,
the glorious aftions fought by .I.e Batavian squadron
on the 17th and 18th of July.
•UGLiST 10.
Yesterday his Serene Highness Prince Murat, and
her Imperial Highness the Princess Caroline, wt off
for Boulogne. The Secretary of State is also at
Boulogne, and has fixed his office at a Castk near
the Emperor's head-quarters.
On the evening of the Bth there was a rum •ur
that the troops were embarking at Boulogne; but
yesterday this report, said to come l.y the tulegt
was again contradifted.

This day we have received intelligence of a bat-
tle, fought off Ferrol, between the Combined liret
and an English Squadron. Althoug:• two Spanish
ships got amongst the enemy's fleet, and were taken,
the advantage remained on our side. It is added,
that the Combined Fleet, after it had received so.i.is
reinforcement from Ferrol, went in quest of the
enemy, but did not find them : this latter icc •uot,
however, stands in need of confirmation.

" An excessively thick fog covered the whole van and rear

we saw them much to hewer lof us. All the reports received
from the French vessel., were ravisfaNary ;—tliose of Admiral
Gravina e‘ince.t a firm determination to pursue and aKain

" The following re th•• only account 1 have received of the

" Captain Cosmao, who mama:vied the Pluto (a F.ench

had protected her as I mg as he euu:d k •erp sight of her, by
placing himself ►etween her ant the enemy, but that he soon

to diztinguish the Coate of the enemy, 'rut on the day after the

the greater part of them appeared much dr gaged. If it he
true, as slued by the Captain •.f La Disko, who !icon milted
the enemy belay the action, that they hail fifteen sail, it may
be presumed that one of there had disappeared in the action.

PARIS, ACCVST 13.

The Moniker of the 12th, under the head July
:11, gives horn a London paper the account of the
battle between the squadron of Sir Robert Calder
and the Combined Fleets ; and in a Note observes:
" hope: ex;ne•sesl at the end of this art cle have been
dis ippointed. Vice Admiral Calder stood Ulf with thirteen
ships, arid left the Combisica sitti.hoose master. of the sea,
and at liberty in follow their The of this.

ish ships struck Having Pilfered greatly front their rigging,
and the Combined Fleet. being to windward, they fell, during
the night, into the enemy': line ; which might have happened
to the three Engli.h th.nuau•l dhips; had they been to wind.
ward, they would probably have fallen into the line of the Com-
bined Squadron. "

The Ahmiteur of the I 3th gives the Ga:ctts ac-
count of the battle, and accompanies it with the
following Notes:
" It is true that Vice- Admiral Villeneuve hail, in the battle,
fourteen French, Ned six Spanish ships ; but it is not true
that he had three large fitly-g,an ships. Admiral Calder
here admits that he tint ceased the engagement--the tea-
ioll which he gives, that it was to secure twu Spanish ships
he had taken, is falsified by the relation of our squadron, since
the.e ships did not fall his hands till after the battle iu the
allght, because they could not manaluvre, and were driven
before the wind. The true reason was, lie had four ships dis.
ma sted.

" Admiral Calder likewise dues not Ivry, that the Windsor
Castle and the Malta were so roughly hand!el, that it was
%tut difficulty they reached the shores of England.

" As to the fog, •e see by the relati In of Admiral Ville-
neuve, that be also infinitely regretted it—since, if there had
been co fog, the English Adrer.d would not hare escaped ho
well.

"As In the lou sustains.' by each side, the number killed and
wounded on board the French and Spanish.rmaadron was much
less than of the same on birani the English fleet.

" In soiue other notes or accounts of this battle, it is Sail
—your mistateineuts pies's the victory remained with the
Combined Fleet. Two ships have already left our squadron,
and the eightent ships of the Combined Squadron are in good
condition. It has fultilled its rnis.ion, and has forced you to
raise your blockade. This, I think, is the surest .ign of vic-
tory. Two Spanish ships, which were worked badly, were
fitted out in haste, suff.tred consitlcrably in the battle, drove
mud fell into your hands in the night, without the Combined
Squadron peraeiving it till the next all. This was a great

BERLIN, JULY 27.
Two French couriers lately arrived here, one
of whom repaired immediately to the King, at
Charlottenburg, where it is asserted that he deli-
vered a letter to His Majesty, from the Emperor
Napoleon, the contents of which relate to M. Novo-
siltzoff's late mission. The other brought dispatches
to the French Ambassador. It is said that the
speedy recall of M. Novosiltzoff has made a dis-
agreeable impression on the mind of I lis Prussian
Majesty.
This is no wonder, since it is so well known that
His Majesty has strained every nerve to bring about
an sccommodation between Russia and Fiance, in

which, at least for the present, he has been disap-
pointed, through the precipitate condua of Russia.
In the mean time, Ills Majesty perseveres in his re-
solution of remaining neutral. whatever may
happen. This is evident from every circumstance,
and the reports to the contrary, which have been
circulated, are totally void of all foundation. His
Majesty continues to hold long and frequent con-
ferences with M. La Forest, the French Ambassa-
dor, whom he appears to respal greatly. 1

SlR—lu my last I had the honour to inform you, that we
hail got possession of Katovrlie, and I have now the pleasure
to acquaint you, fur the information of his Excel'eney the
Commander in Chief, that I marched from Took on the 17th
instant, with 120 sepoys, two 6-pounders, and as many of the
irregulars as could be spared. We arrived Wore this ',lake a
little while after the mows had risen last ought, and instantly

commenced our attack 45 nen the gate as...possible ; but unfer-
tuuately the guus could nat hu take., sufficiently close, as the
enemy had placed a number of Hackenis in the road, laden
with grain, the whe .1, taken off, and the bullocks left fixed to
the yokes--trte whole soon took fire, and it wet necessary to
take tome other mote of attack. In this dilemma 1 was as.
sited by two &Mars, who behaved with much intiepaldy, by
cutting steps in the stiles of the ramparts; and, my yotwe
friend, Lieut. rums, instantly, and most gallantly ascended at
the held of his men; but I was much concerned to see a mo-
ment afterwards, that he was WOUildei j it laccame necei,try
now (Lieutenant Pervis being the only officer with me;, that
I should lead the Sepoya ; and, basin: another rampant to
mount isi the same manner as before, the whole took up so
much time, that three tumbrils of ammunition had been ex-
pended at the guns. At this critical moment 1 was joined by
Corporals Cross and Hislop; at a time when I had been fifteen
nr twenty minutes oft the wall, and the kli:dars making a hole
through the parapets.
In a snort time oar nuinb.w. increased, and we pushed the
enemy to the gate of the Gerrie, which is of a considerable
height, welt a broad deep ditch round it, and a winding path-
way, defended by parapet+ and loopholei, where only two
mei, can go abreast Here several of the enemy were killed,
but we could not push the gate open with all our force; at
last the wicket gave way to the butt-end+ of our musquets.

There are six 3 pounders, mounted on eat ri.tges on the bas-
tions, and four piece: of a smaller 1112 t: un swivels, besides 36
geojal, of a very good kind.

Our loss is very trifling, considering how much we were ex-
posed for three hours and a half. There were 1 Sepoy and a
Clasnee ; 7or S Sepoys, 3 Clashees, 1 bullock driver,
and 4 or r of the irregulars wounded.

I .ON DON,
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21.

At a late hour last night we received, by
Ezra ess, Dutch Papers to the 18th, and Paris
Papers to the 14th instant. The Menireur of the
11th contains Admiral VILLENEUVE'S report of
the battle of the 22.1 July—dated the 47th July, 49
leagues west south-west of Cape Finisterre.—lt was
of course written on the second day after the Com-
bined Fleet were lost sight of by Sir ROSERT
CALDER, and probably on their approach to Vigo ;
it being now generally understood that they first
made that harbour, and sailed again for Ferrol, in
consequence of having learned the weakness of the
squadron blockading that port. Those who antici-
pated a great deal of amusement from the bombas-
tic style of the French account of this business, will
be much disappointed 'by Admiral VI xxxoauves
letter. The order of battle, and the state of the
weather, are described in nearly the same terms as
those used by Sir R. CALDER in his dispatches; and
the Spanish Admiral is allowed all the merit of
leading the Combined Fleet, and bearing with
his squadron the brunt of the day. Our cap-
ture of the two Spanish ships it notice.; in the follow-
ing words: 4' When the weather cleared we did not
perceive two Spanids ships Le Flrme and Le St.
Repbatl."—This is an exaCt parody of Lord NORTIe.
letter to Mr. Fox, announcing the dismissal or the
latter from office. " Sir, I have received a list of

pleasant way of getting over an ugly business,
and as modest as we could have possibly es.

as a set off, not very fairly, however, that one of
our ships had also disappeared in the aCtion t but

The Cnrk P ,per of the 14th says-44 A consider-
able degree of bustle and aCtivity prevailed at Cove
last night, in consequence of a report that eighteen
sail of ships which were seen on the coast belonged
to the enemy. ' The Loin frigate came to, onts,de
Spike Islaud, and sent a boat with an officer on
shore to Rear-Admiral Decay, and sailed imme-
diately. Signals were making from the Telegraph
on Carlisle Fort contmually. The uncertainty at
last cleared away, and they proved to be seventeen
sail of ontward-bound Ea>t Indian:en, under convey
of the heilivrratt line of battle ship. During th-
time that the description of the Let was one::-
tuned, Admiral DIWItY was at Cuve, in order to
make arrangements to meet any esigency *l,O
might arise in the event of t':eir being an enemy
and we are confident, that, had such Gem the cat-.
