CASSEL, AUGUST 11.

Letter from his Excellency the Minister of the In-
terior to the Prefect of the Ocker Department :

" Cassel, August 5, 1809.

" Monsieur Prefect, his Majesty the King, our most gracious
Sovereign, ha:: heard with the greatest satisfaction of the conduct
of the inhabitants of his good town of Brunswick, during the
short abode of the Duke of Oels there; aid he desires me to ex-
press this to you. You conducted yourself in that affair like an
upright servant and loyal subject of the King's.
" I send you a copy of a Decree, which will shew the good
inhabitants of Brunswick with what displeasure his Majesty
heard of the vile promise which was made to his troops. Cer-
tainly every Officer would have paid with his head for the
slightest injury done to the inhabitants.
" Soldiers protect and defend peaceful citizens. Only robbers
allow themselves to plunder.
" Give the greatest publicity to his Majesty's sentiments to-
wards his good town of Brunswick. I congratulate myself on
having received the command to communicate this to you, and
to assure you personally of the satisfaction of his Majesty. I re-
new the assurances of my perfect esteem. (Signed)

treat of the conditions of peace.
AUGUST Y.—Nothing certain respecting war fr
peace is yet known. The price of colonial rnerehan-
liee, which is brought from Trieste, increases daily,
as all the warehouses in that city have been seques-
trated. The deputies have not yet obtained an audi-
ence. The Emperor continues to construct strong
Ida-de-pow on' the lett bank of the Danube, and every
thing is prepared in such a manner that the troops
may be put in motion at the first signal.
The Saxon Major General Ffartisch died on the
24th inst. in consequence of his wound.
Auousr 2.—The Prince of Lichtenstein' has been
rec died from his estates with the late Ardaas, iiior at
•Paris, and Secretary of State Hoppe, to conclude
Peace at Raab, with the Duke of Friuli, the Marshal
of the palace Duroc, and the Minister of State Count
Champagny—Several silversmiths here have rec: r
orders to prepare some rich services of plate to he
used at the Congress of Raab—this Cingress is nit
expected to last long.
AUGUST s.—Raab was, it is said, on the first in-
stance, fixed upon as the place for the negociations
for peace ; but now they say it is to be at Altenburg,
in Hungary.
Between the bridges facing the Spitz, a French
camp is forming for 20,000 men.
Napoleon has visited the mountainous districts in
the environs of this capital, and did not return to
Schoenbrunn before 10 o'clock at night, when he at-
tended at the play of Phedra.
The bridge near Ncusdorf is quite restored. Near
Leisig and Spoisig. behind Schoenbrunn, a division of
French troops has occupied a camp.
It is said that an English Agent has appeared at
the head quarters of the Archduke Charles, but he
could not obtain an audience.
BANKS OF THE ELBE, AUGUST is.
We have no news from Austria that gives any cer-
tainty of war or peace ; and the general opinion is,
that the affairs of Turkey will also be decided in the
Austrian Congress of Peace, if it shculd really take
place.
The Archduke Charles does not share in the senti-
ments of his brother the Emperor Francis, who is
said to be preparing to conclude peace at any sacrifice.
The Archduke Charles has, on this account, re-
signed the Chief Command of the Army, and nt t
from indisposition. A Russian Plenipotentiary was
hourly expected at Schoenbrunn, from St. Peters-
burgh. . _
