of Oetober she observed the Antelope coming
down upon.' her, which, upon recognizing the
Spanish Ship, ,poured a whole broadside into the
joaquina, when within pistol-shot, which was
answered by the latter, the crew of which board-
ed the English, and :hove out their grappling irons.
The fire Of musketry continued very briskly from
the decks And. tops of both vesselS, for three hours,
and the darkness of the night added horror to the
scene, when at last twenty-eight Spaniards leaped
upon the deck of the Antelope, and decided the vic-
'tory with their sabres. The English had fifteen
Men killed, among whom are the Captain and his
Mate, anti sixteen mortally wounded. The Spa-
niards had only four killed and fourteen wounded.
LISBON, AUG. t.--The last letters from the Bay

'PA HIS, AUG. .e6.---We are assured that the Etnpe;-
ror.has declared to the Courts of Europe, that the
Territory of the Rhenish Confederation is to be deem-
ed inviolable ; and that no Detachment of any Fo-
retn Troops can be admitted to pass through' it un-
der any pretence whaterer ; and that any transgres-
sion of these conditions cannot pass unnoticed.

It is said that Prtissia, Brunswick; and Hesse-
Casel, have joined the Northern Confederacy ;
that Denmark has refused ; that Saxony has started
difficulties, and wishes to remain impartial and per 7
fealy independent ; and that the Free Cities bf
Harnhurgh, Lubeck, and Bremen, which Prussia
would willingly see in the COnfederation, by ,the
desire of France, Russia, and England, are to re=
main independent, under the protedion of a:1 Eu-
rope.

The wife of Marshal AUGEREAU died at her house
'at Houssaye, twelve leagues from Paris, on the night
of the 20th instant.

It is reported that the Chargo d'Affaires of the
Emperor of Russia to the Diet of Ratisbon is to pub-
lish a declaration, in the name of his S4ereign, ac-
knowledging the Confederation of the Rhind. It is
supposed that he will be accredited to the Prince
Primate.

It has been remarked, that the Emperor of Aus-
tria, who was formerly stiled FRANCIS the Second,
is now called FRANCIS the First. The following
is the reason of this alteration :—The reigning Em-
peror of Austria was FRANCIS the Second only as
Emperor of Germany, reckoning • his predeteisor
FRANCIS the First, the husband of MARIA THERESA.
That Prince never possessed the Hereditary States in
leis own right, and consequently the Austrian Mo-
narch is really the first of that name.

of Hose has concluded :1 Convention with ti.e Prus-
than Court.

The French Troops stationed along the Saxon
frontiers are estimated at 30,000 men.
BERNE, AUG. 18.—it is reported that Switzerland
will likewise join the Confederation of the .Rhine. '

VIENNA; AUG. 16.—We expe& here immedi,
ately the new Russian Ambassador, Prince Ku-
RAKIN, who has hired provisionally in the Singer-.
strasse the Hotel of the late Count DE COLLOREDO,
Cabinet Minister. This Ambassador is in posses-
sion of an immense fortune. The Count Ds RA
ZUMOWSKY has obtained permission from his Court
to settle at Vienna. The transport of cannon, mor-
tars, and, in general, ofall warlike stores, continues
without intermission. • The Bank of the Danube,
near the Bridge of Kazumowsky especially, and
with reason, attracts the notice of the curious, both
Of the capital' and the country—for 'it appears at
present like a military post, in which a great war-
like Expedition is preparing : but be not alarm-
ed---motwithstanding the outcries of politicians, no-
thing is intended but to empty the arsenals of the
Capital, and form the new depots of arms near
the capital. One of these depots will be in &the-
'ilia, another in Galicia, and the most considerable
in Hungary. The • Danube, which traverses the
latter kingdom, renders it easy to convey, in. the
space of a week, all the military effeett which may
be necessary.

Prussian Minister at Paris, having requested his re,
call, General KNOBELSDORF, appointed Minister
to the Sublime Porte, set out yesterday for Paris, to
take place of M. Dr. LUCCHESINI. The Prince of
NITTGENSTEIN; Minister of his Prussian Majesty
ateassel, arrived here the day before yesterday.—
His sudden arrival has given occasion to several
conferences, which give reason to presume that a
more close alliance will be formed between the
two Sovereigns. Baron DE HAENLEIM is going as
Minister to .Dresden, to confer with the Electoral
Minister on the subje& of the organization of a Plan.
for the North of Germany. The Courts of Berlin,
Dresden, and Cassel, are aCtively employed in com-
pleting this great Plan.

Major-General DE PFUHL has been sent by his
Majesty m attend the Duke ofBRUNS.WICK, because
the indisposition of the latter prevents his repairing
to this capital, agreeably to the invitation he has re-
ceived from his Majesty.
The. march of the troops still continues, and it
is remarked that the exchange of Couriers between
Berlin and St. Petersburgh is more active than ever.
Couriers are the bearers of letters*written by the
two Sovereigns with their own hands, who recipro-
cally. give to each other assurances of the warmest
friendship.—Prince LOuts FERDINAND of Prussia
pill command the Army assembled in the environs
of Magdeburgh.

the Civil War has extended its ravages generally
through these fine Countiies. Travellers who have
arrived from Russia assure us, that from St. Peters-
burgh to Russian Poland various camps are formed,
and a great magazine established. All the ac-
counts from Southern Germany agree in assert-

Lower. Bavaria .continues without interruption.—
There is no longer any mention of the departure
of the Austrian 'Prisoners of war from Upper

HAMBURGH, AUG. 24.—Several Couriers arrived
here from Lubeck have brought advice, that the King
of Sweden has ordered the blockade of the Prussian
Ports to be raised. The latest advices from Berlin
contain the same intelligence,which was made known
there on the return of Lieut. Colonel KRUSEMARK
from Griefswald.

AUGUS';.. 26.—Private • accounts received here
from Berlin state, that the assembling of the French
troops on the frontiers. of Saxony has excited much
astonishment in that capital. They are supposed
to entertain designs against Magdeburgh.; but that
place is well garrisoned, and supplied with pro-
visions for eight months. On the 1 Gth the French
were so close to the Prussian frontiers, that or-
ders had been issued to pull down part _of the
suburbs, and the fortress of Magdeburgh : in Si-
lesia the whole Army had been ordered to hold
itself in readiness to march. The fortress of Ha-
meln has also ,been supplied with provisions for
eight months.
