BRUNSWICK, AUGUST 11.
The Saxon troops which had. retired to Magde-
burg, have set out to return to their country with the
pontoons they brought and which served to facilitate,
the communioations between the two banks of .the
• Elbe. The artillery isiscUamonmition of these MOPS
have been sent op the Elbe in boats to Wittenberg.:
The_pontOons hale been conveyed to the same town,
by t* road. of Zetbst. , .
The Dutch division of General. Grltien, whici;,
while it Was in pursuit of the Duke ofOels, received.
orders to return as soon as possible to Holland, has
taken the road to Munster, and will go from thence
towards fired* and Bergen-op-Vom. •
Gqieral Kielman, who commands a corps of
Saxon troops, has taken a position on the frontiers.
of the kingdom of Saxony, which he will keep till
further orders.

ligence that the King, Queen, and Pijneess Augusta

The French Ambassador, the chy before yester-

BRESLAU, AUGUST. 9.
The Russian and Polish armies in GaMelo are dis-
tributed as follows;—The Russians occupy that part
of Gallicia •Whieh extends. from the environs of •San-
domir to the frontiers of the Buckowine. The Po-
lish corps, under the command of Generalliebdow-
ski, occupies the environs of San to liarezevi; five
miles from Wanau, and as far as Pilica. That un-
der the orders of General Raminieicki is posted from
the environs of &ultra to the Bug. The head quar-
ters of Prince Poniatpwski are at Cracow; a corps -of
6000 Russians occupies Bochnia, where are the fam-
ous salt mines of Gallicia. .
NAPLES, AUGUST IS.

An extraordinary circumstance gave much eclat;
to the fete celebrated for .the birth-day of the Empe-:
ror. On 'the 15th, in ,the evening, the Neapolitan
fleet, consisting of a frigate, a corvette, and about 80
gun-hoits, were moored before the city. This dis-
position had been made for the salutes which it is
customary to fire on this occasion. Yesterday, four
English frigates, and about 20 gun-boats which are
cruizing in these seas, approached to make an attack
at the very moment when his Majesty mounted his
horse to review 15 or 20,000 men, assembled on the
beach of Chiaja. The King, after having ordered
the necessary dispositions for defence, proceeded
.to
pass the troops in review. We then enjoyed one of
the finest spectacles, but which can be pf operly con-
ceived by those who are well acquainted with the
situation of the city of Naples. At the setting of the
sun, 20,000 men, drawn up on the shore of Chiaja,
were quietly performing their evolutions, while two
or three hundred pieces of artillery thundered over
the Bay of Naples. An immense multitude of spec-
tators assesolged on the sea-shore to witness the fete,
and formed one of t',e most imposing scenes which
can be imagined. The pleasure of this spectacle was
the greater, as it was nnci, nrbed by any foar. The
English, not daring to appro. 1/ the forts, fired at a
very respectful distance, and it was so little lit.zely
that they could do any damage, that they seemed to
be the ships of some friendly nation come tc, rr,t4fr
by their salutes thoir participation in the general joy.
They retired in the night, Two men only on board
a gun-boat were slightly wounded.
