GERMAN PAPERS.

REGGIO, AUG. 3.—The Englkh appear more ter-
rified than ever al our preparations: tht'y have united,
between Messina and Pharo, all' the forces «Bich
they have in the Tyrennean Seas.' Dining the la-t
few days, we have reckoned five ships of the
line, two of which carry 80 guns, and are lying at
anchor even in the canal. Four brigs of war, and
many frigates and corvettes, are continually sailing
betweeu,Reggiu and the Pezzo. But all these grand
means of defence do not assure the English 'mei-
chants established at ;Messina. Their inerehan-
dizes are sold for a mere nothing, and daily loaded
vessels sail from it, in order to seek shelter in a
place less exposed.
Their Excellencies the Ministers of the Interior
and Finance are still. at Reggio.

• CopENHAGEN, AUG. 27.—We read in the Official
Gazette of to-day, the following article :
The Swedish Ambassador has this day notified to
.our Court, agreeably to the order which he received
from Orebro the 21st of this month, the unani-
mous election of his Serene Highness the Prince
of Ponte Corso, as successor to the throne of Swe-
den. We last week: foresaw that the choice of the
Assembly of the States would fail upon this Prince,
who during the last two years which he has .
com-
manded in Denmark,- has acquired by his benevo-
lent sentiments the esteem and gratitude of the

AUGSBURG, AUG. 22.—Yesterday morning a
courier passed through this city, whom Count
OTTO, the French Minister at Vienna, had dis-
patched from thence to Paris. He had sent par-
ticuar orders to all the Post-tnasters to forward
him at their peril with all possible expedition, just
as during the last war the French couriers were ex-
pedi:ed.,

SaOCKHOLIkt, AUG. •21.—0 f the fillo,a ing letter
om Orebro; many copies appear here 11l print :
" OREBao, AUG. 13.7—Yesterday arrived here
two couriers from Paris, with dispatches from Mar-
shal BERNADOTTE, with his pottiait, that of his
lady, and of his son. • Among otter reportS it is
said, that in case the Marshal should be eleled suc-
cessor to the Crown, he will place 8,000,000. of
francs from his own property in the Bank, to re-
purchase the Royal domains in Pomerania, together
with all the Swedish condemned ships and cargoes
in France ; the latter are estimated at 32,0300,000 of
dollars. The assurance which the Marshal, accord-
ing to this account, is said to have given, is to pro-
cure us a free export Of all our'produa,s and as much
communication with England as the pre,ent circum-
stances will permit, and our wants unavoidably re 7
quire; by which it would appear that BUONAPARTE'S
affeetion for us, and his great desire of seeing the
Marshal elected, is beyond any doubt.
HAMBURG'', SEPT. I.—Letters from Naples state
that the King was expe&ed there, the expedition
against Sicily having been postponed for an unde-
termined time.

COPENHAGEN, AUG. 2c4.—ln Norway the diit.
greeable intelligence has been received from Trom-
ter, that 3 t Danish merchant vessels have been cap-
tured by the enemy's cruizers.

On the 24th inst. an English convoy, composed of
t 8(1 sail, passed the Belt, standing to the Northward,
under protedion of two ships of the line, two fri-
gates, and two gun-brigs. One of the frigates had a
very smart enga,:;ement with four of our gun-boats,
commanded by Capt.. Lieut. HALFIt, who had suc-
ceeded, in cutting off souse of the Southernmost
ships, Init was obliged to quit his prizes in const-
quence of a ship of the line bearing up in support of
the frigate.
TONNINGEN, AUG. 30.—Orders have been re-
ceived here to attach all 'American ships found io

ing.

:REGGIO, AUG. 6.—lt is generally believed here,
that the misfortune which betel the convoy com-
manded by Captain GATSSOLO, and more particu-
larly the unfortunate adion of Amantea, in conse-
quence of which, Captain CARRACUOLA'S convoy
was lost, and along with it a large colle6lion of
articles of the utmost importance for the comple-
tion of the expedition, with all the birges destined
for the cavalry, are likely to protract the intended
(descent in Sicily for a' considerable time. All the
troops who: are concentrated in the environs of
Bagnara and Scilla, as well as in the camp near
Melza, have received orders to go into cautonments
in the neighbouring vil!ages,
DRESDEN, AUG. 26.—Count GOTORP, 'GUSTAVUS
ADOLPHUS, passed through this place on hts return
from Werenhurth, tie took the way...to Altenburg,

would stay at Werenhurth.

" The Director of the Custom-house corpmnni-

French Government 20 licenses for the pat of Ham-

The person apprehended at Grim,hy on Friday
se'uuight, on suspicion of robbery, and who says-
his name is Dawkins, is supposed to be Roberts,
who recently. escaped from CAdhath-fields Prison.
Sonic Police Officers are gone down to ascertain the
fact.

The war in Spain will exhaust the coffers of &Jo-
NAPAHTE more than all the wars he has ever been
engaged in ; as in this, his troops are maintaii,ed at
the expence of France, and in others at the expence
of the nations he attacked. Thai lie fecls this bit-
terly, is manifested by SouLT's Proclamat!on, the
aim of which is to compel the people of Spain to
maintain the French armies,

Accounts from Holland state, that the French
have nearly ready for sea a number of privateers at
Antwerp and other ports, the whole of which are
manned with Danish seatnzn.

THE ARTS.—Though the talents of Mr. WIND-
HAM are unhappily lost to the public, we have the
sAtistaetion of knowing that there is such an admir-
able Portrait as presents an exact and spirited re-
presentation ot the man.—This piMure comes from
the pencil of LAwaaNcE,-and is executed in his best
Manner. The likenesi is exam,- 'and there is a
striking and forcible expression of the acumen, saga-
city, and whole intelleMdal energy which charach
termed the original. This picture, we trust, will be
submitted to tne engraver, as it exhibts a fine por-
trait of a great man, and one who may be consider-
ed altogether as a genuine specimen ot the true
British character.

Last Thursday evening, as Mr. Evelin, shoe-
maker, in the London Road, was returning home
Iron) the Borough, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, three villains, in soldier's ("oaths, came up
to him, and forcing him into-one of the dilapidated
buildings in the. Borough Road, two of th:•in held
him with a handkerchief to his [natal)) whilst the
other rifled his pockets of bi, money and watch,
with which they got clear of before he could give
the alarm.

On Saturday last a servant of Madame Perkies, in
Brook-street, Lambeth, who was going to quit her
place, had her box, containing her wearing apparel
and money, brought down into the ktte,ei), vt'hilst
she went out to procure a person to take it to her
lodging. She had not left the house marry minutes,
before a woman applied for the box in her name,
and Madame Perkies ordered it to be detivered to t‘er.
Suspicion, however, immediately occtieli!',g to her,,
she sent a servant after the ‘cotnati, Who. arrii,eci at
Wes.minwe.r,bridge just in time to see her in a boat,
with the box, going down the river: the poor girl
has not beet) able to trace her further.

A melancholy circumstance occurred early on
Monday morning, on board the Fox. packet, on her
pamsage trOm Lond,,n to Itainsgate, with passengers.
The vesstel was lying off Bro.id:L.irs, waning unti.
the tide flowed to enable her to get into Ramsgwe
harbour, when by some means one of t..e passengers,
a Mr. Campbell, Surgeon and Apothecary, of Co-
ventry-street, London, fell overboard, and -the tide
running strong, he imtnediately drove from the.ves-
sel, though still floating on the surf ice of the water :
a.boat was instantly put off; and he 'was taken on
ward ; but notwithstand.ng he had not keen over-
board more than six or seven minute:, every endea-
vour used by some medical gentlemen, his friends,
who 'Were in the yes:el, to re,tore him to file, un-
fortuultely proved itieffectual.
