FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

CONCLLION OF THE TWENTY-THIRD BULLETIN 11
OF THE FRENCH ARNI Y.
"'The city of Vienna and the States of Lower Austria solicited
the clemency of his Majesty, arid requested to send a Deputation
to the Emperor Franck to convince him o' the imprnpriety of
the proceeding with respect to the Gene rais Durosnel and Fon-
ters, to represent that Chastellar nor condemned, that be was
not arrested, but only accused before the tribunals, that the fa-
thers, wives, children, and property of the Austrian Generals were
in the hands of the French, and that the French army was deter-
mined, if a single prisoner was at to death, to make an exarnp!c
of which posterity should long preserve the remembrance. Ihe
esteem which his Majesty entertains ter the gond inhabitants of
Vienna and the States, determined him to accede to this ree,uerr.
He granted permission to M. i 1 t. Colloredo, Metternich, Hard.
dick, and Pergen to remain at Vienna, and to the Deputation to
set out for the head-quarters of the Emperor of Austria. This
Deputation has returned. The Emperor Francis has replied to
these representations, that be was ignorant of the massacre of the
French prisoners in the Tyrol, that he pitied the miseries of the
capital and the provinces, that h:s Ministers had deceived hint,
&c. &c. &c. The Deputies reminded him, that al prudent men
saw with pain the existence of a handful of intriguers, who by
the measures they advised,the proclatnations,order s of theday, &c.
which they caused to be adopted, endeavour only to foment pas-
sions and hatred, and to exasperate an enemy, who is master of
Croatia, Carniola, Carinthia, St y rta, thiipc-r um' Lovier Au st ria , t he
capital of the Empire, and a great part of I loongary, that the senti-
ments of the Emperor for his subjects ought to incline him to calm
rather than irritate the conqueror, and to give to war the cha-
racter natural to it among civilized nations, since it is in the pews r
of the conqueror to render more heavy the evils which press on
the half of the monarchy.
" It is said, that the Emperor Francis conceived that the
greater part of the papers mentioned by the Deputies were ficti-
tious ; and that those, the exi,tence of w Welt was not denied,
were more moderate; that the Editors .vere, besides, tren.:h
Clerks; and that, even when these papers did contain some in-
convenient things, they were not perceived till the znra:hief was
done.
" If this answer, which is publicly reported, be authentic, we
have one observation to make :—lt is Impossible not to perceive
the influence of England ; for this small number of men, traitors
to their country, are certainly in the pay of that Power.
" When the Deputies went to Enda, they saw the Empress.
She had been obliged to leave this city some days before. They
found her dispirited, :./tered, and in coustern won, at the evils
which threatened hen heese. The opinion of the Nitinarchy is
extremely unfavourable to the family of this Princess. It was
that family which excited the war. The Archduke Palatine and
the Archduke Regnier are the only Austrian Princes who delen
ded the maintenance of the (race. The Empress was far from
foreseeing th.• coen:s riat hc.se taken pl,:crt. She 11... s shed miry
tears; she has she wa great alarm at the cloud whi:ty cocci.
the future. She spoke of peace ; she requested peace ; she con-
jured the Deputies to speak to the Emperor in tivcur ofpeace.
" They reported, that the conduct of the Arciniuke
Tian had been disowned. and that the Emperor had sent him into
the intelior of Hungary."

• LEYDEN, JULY 9.
We have this moment received, by a certain chan-
nel, the following intelligence :
The King of Westpiutlia entered the city of
Dresden on the Ist of this month, at nine in the morn-
ing. The advanced guard of the army of his Ma-
jesty, consisting of Saxon and Westphalian troops,
under the brave Colonel Thelmann, had driven out
the enemy at ten in the evening preceding. The
latter, when they evacuated Dresden, retired to the
camp of Pirna, which they to-day quitted. The
Duke of Brunswick Oels, with 2000 men under his
command, inclined upon Cheimnitz. It is said that
he endeavoured to regain Haile. If he has ti.e mis-
fortune to arrive there, it is to be presumed that he
will never repass the Saal. He is pursued by Gene-
ral Bongars, with two regiments of cnirassiers, one
Dutch, the other Westphalian, and a battalion of
French infantry. It is not possible to behave better,
or spew more attachment to their Sovereign, than the
inhabitants of Dresden did on this occasion. The
King of Westphalia has appointed the Prince of
Hesse, his Aide-de-Camp, who distinguished himself
at the hearl of the chasseurs.carabineerq, Governor of
the ety of Dresden for the whole time that the troops
of the 10th corps shall remain there.

of Ebersdorf, with his own division and the Saxons, and saw the
enemy, who occupied a v,.ry strong pobiti:m. He immediately
formed his column of attack, bat received his Majesty's order
not to 2ttack before the Dutch infantry should have joined. but ,1
it was impossible for a moment to check the ardour of the light

Prince of HessePhitipsthal carried with the chasseers, carith.ietts,
and the light infantry, a viiiage situated in the centie of the rm.-
iny's line, which the enemy did not a: tempt to ret Ike, although •
it was only occupied by lOU foot. l :lc light horse of the glial (i
charged at the same time, killed upwards of IGO men, and took
50 prisoners,
" The enetny'4 loss In this action amounts to no less thin 400
men; our, does not exceed 15. It took place at seven o'clock iii
the mornirg, and the enemy availed himself of the ensuing night
to make good his retreat. Yesterday the enemy divided his corpa
into two columns. The militia, or landwehr, took the road of
Dresden; and the Austrian General Kieurnayer, who commands
all the enemy's troops, marched in the direction of Cheinmitz,
and took up this morning a position rear Frankenberg. He pro-
bably intends to retreat to Bohemia, by Srbastianbarg, or march
against Bayreuth. Should he remain in laic present position, he
will be attacked there to-morrow ; and allovld he direct his march
against Bayreuth, he will be me: by a diviaiw, of the army of the
Dake of Ab:autes."

clamation :
" Messieurs—l have received the proclamation
which follows, issued by General Stuart and the
Commander of the English fleet :
" If. as we are informed, robbers and banditti in various tarts
of Calabria, giving themselves up to all kinds of tu cesses, have
the.att&rity to commit cnmes in the name of his Sicilian .11a-
jesty Ferdinand IV. and to boast of acting on the authority and
with the Coll9filt of theltnglisli : we the undersigned, comman-
ding the troops of his Britannic Maley)+, declare, that we refuse
every kind of protection to persons guilty of any atrocity what-
ever, and invite and authotir: the Ma3istrates charged with the
police of the country, and the good inhabitants, to take every
possible means to prevent all disorder, to maintain tranquillity
and public safety, without which the legitimate authority will
nominate other Magistrates, and will charge them with the civil
administration of the Province.

" Since the gentlemen commanding the British
forces have the goodness to interest themselves from
;itteir station on the sea, with our interior police, it is
proper to acquaint them with the situation of our pro-
vince, of which they cannot be well informed,us they
have had only communication with eight or ten ban-
ditti of the coast, and consequently are not able to
ascertain the exactness of their reports, because they
have ever since kept at a distance. I therefore in-
vite you, gentlemen, to ay.:; yourselves of all oppor-
tunnies whithmay offer, to acquaint the English that
the banditti do rat commit any of the atrocities of
which the said gentlemen complain ; that the num-
ber of criminals was never smaller than it is at pre-
sent ; that Hither Calabria was never more tranquil,
than since the English fleet sailed from the ports of
Sicily ; and, lastly, that the police was never in a
better state in these provinces, than since the English
made their appearance.
Inform General Stuart, that the external and in-
ternal safety of Calabria rests on the will of a king
whom Europe venerates, and whose valour England
has experienced, and is guaranteed by the zeal of all
' public functionaries, none of which have kept their
posts for any other purpose than to have a nearer
view of the Englith fleet, and by the gallantry of the
tioops cl the line and national guards, who have
sworn by their honour to defend their country.
" 'fell the Commanders of the English ships, that
should they make a descent on the coast of Calabria,
I we promi.ie to repair thither. with the French troops,
to convince the English that we need not any one's
assistance to administer the police in our country,
and they will return to their ships more easy on the
fate of Calabria."
