RASTAIIT, AUG. S.—Letters direct from
Carlsbad announce the arrival there of the Rus-
sian Minister the Count Capo d'lstria. There
was a talk of conferences between that Minister
and the Prussian Ministers at Carlsbad, the Prince
de Schwarzenberg and the English Minister,
Lamb. The object of these negociations is not
known : there are several conjectures respecting
them. The Prince de Metternich is impatiently
expected at Carlsbad, and M. de Hardenberg pro-
poses to remain there till he arrives.

" VIENNA, AVG. 2.—Tile pregnancy of the Em-
press is positively stated.—The Emperor and Em-
press are expected to arrive at Cfaussenbourg, in
Transylvania, the 18th August.
" MADRID, AUG. 2.—lt is reported that our
Government has received a Bull from the Pope,
granting the Monks the power of becoming secu-
lars ; of which power it is thought many will avail
themselves. 'The Holy Father has also granted
permission to the minor orders to unite, in order
'to diminish the number of convents.

" INSPRUCK, AUG. 2.—By letters from Milan
we learn the arrival of the Portuguese squadron
at Leghorn, on the 25th of July.
" The solemn surrender of the Princess Royal
of Brazil, who was to leave the Castle of Poggio-
Itnperiale on the 29th July, to continue her jour-
ney to Leghorn, was fixed for the 31st July. The
Prince of Metternich was to accompany her,' and

exercise his functions ES Austrian Plenipotentiary

On this occasion.

" It appears by letters from the South of Italy,
that the evacuation by the Austrian troops of the
kingdom of Naples is continued with the greatest
order. The time originally fixed for this evacua-
tion has even been anticipated, for on the sth of
August all the troops will have left the kingdom.
This measure has been accelerated by the declara-
tion of his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies,
made at the Court of Vienna, stating that the

presence of the Austrian troops in his kingdom
was no longer necessary for the maintenance of
public order, as the Neapolitan National At my,
well organised by the new Generalissimo, Prince
Nugent, was quite sufficient for this purpose.
" We also learn, front good authority, that no
army of observation of Austiian troops will be
formed in Lombardy. The troops returning from
the kingdom of Naples will rettnn into the inte-
rior of the Hereditary Austrian Provinces.

" It is confirmed ►hat there is a project for
forming a leag►►e of the Italian Coitus against the
Barbary Powers, and which it is stated will soon
be executed. England protects this league, and
has proposed a scheme for that purpose. There
are, however, many persons who doubt whether
this confederacy can be realised."

The following is an extract of a letter from
Charleston, dated July 14, received this Intim.

ing :

" Captain DIXON, of the schooner Eliza Ann,
arrived here last evening, in 5 days, from the
liavannah, informs us, that two days before he
sailed, a brig belonging to the Consulado Fleet
(formerly the Chasseur, of Baltimore) arrived at
Havannah in a very crippled state, in company
with another brig attached to the same fleet. They
had sailed a short time previous as convoy to a
large fleet destined for Europe, Africa, &c., anti
soon after sailing fell in with a large Carthagenian
cruizer, who laid the Chasseur on board, and
poured so destructive a fire into her as killed and
wounded 60 of her crew. The other brig kept at
a respectful distance, and only united with her in
her endeavours to escape,
" We have seen several other letters from Amelia
Island and St. Mary's. One of them states, that
a Spanish prize brig had arrived at Amelia ; and
another, that preparations were making for an
immediate attack on St. Augustine."

The Ccisar, from Batavia, arrived at St. Helena
the 27th June, and sailed for England the 2d of
July.

We observe that the Moniteur, the Journal de
France, and other Paris Papers, have quoted THE
SUN, on the subject of the Yellow Fever at Mar•
tinique, but they do not give us any further parti-
culars on a matter so important in relation to
Commercial interests throughout Europe.

MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Lymilgton, Aug. 15.
—Yesterday afternoon, a seaman of the name of
BENGRR went off to the ship Mary Ann,,bound to
New York, with about 250 passengers, and took
into his boat about 20 persons, whom he landed
at Yarmouth, where they remained some time,
and then returned into the boat, to proceed on
board their ship ; but owing to a strong wind
and tide, the boat was forced under the bows of
the ship and upset, whereby 17 persons, induct.,
ing the boatman, were unfortunately drowned.
Some of the passengers are, in consequence of
this accident, about to relinquish the voyage.
