LAYBACH, AUGUST 7.

Last night, about half.past twelve, o'clock, three
shocks of an earthquake were felt here, the last of
which continued for about three seconds.

On the 19th ultimo, two enemy's brigs were seen
off Cape Jomena, in the inner channel. The same
evening, a large boat attempted to land ill the roads
of Kalesch, and dewianded provisions, which were
refused, upon which she retired. On the 20th, three
boats approached the shore with the same pretensions,
and received the same refusal, notwithstanding wiich
they landed. Captain Porsada was immediately at-
tacked by the enemy ; but it seems certain fhg be
rrpu)sed them, as a brig cruizing in the vicinity came
to the assistance of the boats, and supported them
with a cannonade, particularly directed against ;be
detachment of Captain Porsa4a. The inhabitants

PRUSSIAN EDICT FOR THE LEVY EN MASSE, acs.
EFROIII TOIL 04iFOTTI OF JOLT
We, 'Frederick William, by the Grace of GOD,
King of Prussia, atc.—Beholding with satisfaction
the perseverance and distinguished bravery with which
our army has sustained, until the present moment, its
struggle for our country, as well as the numerous
efforts and sacrifices by which our faithful subjects
have, with the greatest emulation, contributed in
every manner to-its defence, and to obtain the great
results for which this struggle ha; been undertaken :
We have firm confidence that this public spiritrwhich
has been manifested by all with so much glory, will
never cool ; and we build upotr it principally our
hope of success of our just cause, and of the perma-
nent and solid establishment of all States, particu-
larly that of Prussia.
a We also perceive with pleasure the promptitude
and zeal with which the Landwehr has been orga-
nized, and the levy en masse carried into execution ;
and behold with gratitude the attachments to our
person, and to our country, by which the Prussian
nation is particularly distinguished. In doing justice
to these sentiments, we believe it to be our duty not
to demand more efforts and sacrifices than necessity.

possible interruption, as upon that depends, so esien-
daily, the welfare of our faithful subjects. We com-
mand then, in respect to. the levy en masse, enjoined
by the edict of the 21st April of the present year, as
follows :
Art. I. The Levy en Masse aka§ continue and be enforced as
already ordered; as the patriotism, however, which has been
generally manifested induces us to think that every citizen ca-
pable of serving is filled with an anxious desire to defend the
,country in case of danger, sod will cheerfully obey the first sum-
mate to take up arms, if infirmities and old see do not prove
limitado to fulfilling so honourable a duty, we have made the
Miming modifications t
It. There shall be formed opt of the Levy en Masse a Reserve,
~which being kept constantly at its fall complealeut, may be

' third of this number *ball hold themselves ready, alternately
during one week, to enter In case of need on immediate service in
mounting guard, and in fulfilling all the military and police func-
tions that the Magistrates may require.
4. In the large cities where business is less compatible with
the mid:ary service, and iu which they may and more than 300
men fit for the service of the Levy en Masse, there shall be
formed of the one-third which shall remain when the men
engaged fee the Landwehr shall be deducted, some permanent
companies or !Aflame of eitisens, who will make part of the
Landwehr, but whose duty will be confined to the defence of the
city. In those places where guards of citizens already exist, they
will enter into those companies or battalions.
4. The Levy ea Masse, as well as the conspauleeis and batta.l
lions of arquchuaders and of Borges. Guard, will remain under
the immediate circled; of their respective companies; but they
will likewise be under the contrail of the Magistrate of the

, AUGUST 20.

Since the glorious battles near Pamplona, both
armies have remained quiet; oars busily employed
in the sieges of St. Sebastian's and Pamplona, whick
fortresses, especially the latter, will most probably
surrender in a few day'. A large convoy with troops
was en the 17th off eirpe Machichlkio. They are to
be landed at Bllboa and Passages.--Suchet, accord.
ing to the last accounts, was at Barcelona; the Allied
Army near Tarragona.
VALINCIA, JULY is.

The day before yesterday the English mops
marched for the purpose of besieging Tortosa. To.
morrow the 3d army sets out for Arragon. General
Sarsfield is besieging Idurviedros where 1000 of the
enemy remain.

Z ARAOO SSA, JULY SS.

The fort of Almunii surrendered to General Durso
on the 22d instant. • ,

MUN, JULY 30.

On the 27th and 28th there were a series of battles
between Soult and the great Lord, in which the.
enemy were completely beaten, with the.loss of front.
6000 killed and an incalculable number of prisoners.

IRON, JULY it.
We have just received the agreeable intenigenee
that Soult, who was, with sixty thousand men, ad-
vancing to succour Pamplona., was, five leagues from
that fortress, completely routed. It is said that he
loaf 8000 in prisoners. We ban bad great rejoicings
on account of this intelligence.
'{VALENCIA, JULY 27.
They talk with confidence of considerable kisses
which Suchet has expedenced in different encounters
with the Spanish troops, . who incessantly harass and
weaken him. It is likewise said that the French have
evacuated Tarragona, after having destroyed all the
forts.

MADRID, AUGUST It.
The last intelligence from Zaragossa state, that it
was reported in that city, that the garrison of Daraco
had surrendered. It was also had, that Mina had
proceeded in the direction of Jaca, and pkulm's
sion towards Tarragona.
The troops lesieging thecastle of MOreledro are
the Corona, Cuenca, Alcasar, and Jean regiments.
Up to the Ist the- artillery had not arrived, it may
therefore at present be considered more as a blockade
than a siege. The greater part of the troops belong-
ing to the 2d division (those already mentioned ex-
cepted) are marching to besiege Tortosa, and on the
Ist of August General Elio, who is to direst it, was
in front of Murviedro.

44 Souk, with seven divisions of infantry, 40 pieces
of artillery, and 3000 cavalry, in all 45,000 men, at-
tacked and took on the 25th of July, the passes of
Maya and Roncesvalles, the former with 12,000 men,
the latter with 83,000, commanded by himself in
person. As the valleys of the Pyrenees do not com-
municate with each other, except by Pamplona, it was
easy for him, baring collected such numbers, to open
himself a passage, although with much loss, as lie-
drat in Maple, and Cole and Moriflo in Roncesvalless
caused hint that of 4.000 men. At that point he an,
'flounced to his army that he had express orders from
the Emperor to be in Vittoria on the 81st, after
having raised the blockade of Pamplona, and, in con-
sequence, had attacked Cole and Morillo, and obliged
them, with General Elkton, to retitle to the heights of
Huerta, a league from Pamplona.
4, 'Lord Wellington marched there on the 26th,,
and. on the 27th, having miraculously escaped, by
only five minutes, from falling into the enemy's hands,
arrived at ten in the morning, on those heights, where
he was received by the troops withthat enthusiasm
with which a victorious General always inspires his
soldiers. It was fortunate it happened thus, as other-.
wise he wouid have been necessitated to make a de-
tour of five hours, during which time it is certain Pic-
ton would have retired to the other side of Pamplona;
but on his arrival every thing was remedied, and,
although he had only two divisions (Mnrillo and SU.
viera not having then arrived) and a halt of O'Don•
eel's troops, he determined upon fighting, and wait
for more troops, in order, on the I.4lpring day, to
advantageously defend the ground. Souk, who
knew our weakness, attacked that day, but was COM!
pletely 'repulsed with the bayonet, by a gallant charge
of the Portuguese and the Prince's revs/enc. On the
28th Soult lost all the morning in preparations, and
at ten, when tba sixth division had errived, made so
desperate an attack with five divisions upon the poi
sition defended by the fourth English division, that
all the valour of the troops was necessary to resist it.
There were five charges oa the left and three on tit.
right with the bayonet, and in all of them the English
had the superiority over the enemy.
" The 19th ;sassed peaceably, it was known the
enemy lost 6000 men the preceding day, and were
preparing for a fresh attack on ,the kb;sl: het on its
arrival, and when we were expecting s new combats
the enemy was seen retiring by the road Roecesvallast
and Bastin, under favour of the almost interegnabir
lily of his position, which MAUCILIAIPS division de-
fended. Lord Wellington °tiered it to be attacked,
and took $OOO prisoners, a Colonel, two Lieutenant-
Colonels, and a great number of subalterni. Oa that
day General Hall was attacked by General d'Erlon,
who was driven back upon Lexaso. We pursued
through Bastan, and on the 31st overtook the convoy
under the Goutier in Eleeando, escorted by 1200.

made him quietly wait our arrival, quite confident of
an easy vim' y ; but on our first fire his soldiers ran,
leaving in our power the convoy, which was cnnti
posed of 100 carriages, 250 mults, laden with brad
and brandy, and 500 pris.mers. On tie Ist of August
they lost all the baggage, and escaped in great haste.

amount to less than 18,000 men."

We are not prepased to say ttiat a verbal copy or
the Austrian declaration has reached town, but
sisters are fully aware of its contents ; and we heist
to state r.nother most important fact which has come
to our knowledge respecting Austria. It would seem
coif a Treaty of Amity between Greet Britain and
that power was in a state of great forwardness, if not
actually concluded. Four bills, of €25,000 each,
drawn from Vienna upon London, were paid on "Sa:
turday, by orders from theTreasur7—a subsidy, of
course, has been stipulated for ly Austria t and most
sincerely do we give our Country joy, that another
bppcirtunity has thus been afforded, of evincing the
still preponderating influence of Great Britain in the
affairs of Europe.
tift believe that but oif* sentiment on this subject
prevails in the monied market, for it is now some
months /kV/ s.lipplket:e*.;....sale there by Mini-
liters to learn what pecuniary reentrees they might Salt%

gave an additional proof of undiminished confidence
in the great cause of Europkreflected additional ho-
nour on the British character, and we have reason to.
believe that the basis of a loan to Austria was at that
moment formed. The circumstance to which we
have just alluded took place immediately upon the
return of Lord WALPOLE from Vienna in April list.

By all accounts from the Continent, w are esti'
lied in learning, that the noble spirit evinced by. the
Emperot of is seconded by the wishes of his
whole people, and that I.is armies are to be com-
manded by Officers of the old or Antegallivan School.
The same of the Archduke CHARIAS is mentioned as
about to be employed. On the side of Prussia, the

spirit of both the Sovereign and his people is also up
arms. The former has given full effect to the
edict for calling out the levdres•siane. and the devo.
eon and enthusiasm of his subjects have never been
surpassed.

Some additional German Papers have reached es
since Saturday. They state a fact of considerable
importance as to the dispositions of the Saxons—Ge-
neral THIILMAN and Colonel Aura% two Saxon
Officers of great eminence, have been formally sum-
moned to abandon the service of Russia, and join the
Salon army uuder BONAPARTS. These brave men
)rave, in fact, deserted S but they have under their
command a large body of their countrymen, who
are, like thernserdes, ashamed of :erring the 14 pigeon-
livered creature," whom BONAPAATZ calls ging of
Saxony/

The first military operations of the Allies, (if we
may judge from the positions occupied by their ar.
mies,) will consist of an irruption into Bavaria and
the Italian Stater, on the part of the Austrian army.
For this BOttAPARTZ has been long prepared, and
3CAUITARNOIS, his nephew,has removed his head-quar-
ters to Udina, in the Venetian territory, and at the
foot of the Tyrolese mountains. Beaux/taxon, it
will be recollected, commands the Army of Observa-
tion of Italy. Ls the mean time the Caown Pauses
of Sweden will find ample employment for DAVOMY
and Ottnrsor in the line of the Elbe, and the allied
Prussian and Russian armies will once more press
forward towards the Rhine. The fortresses on that
river are being put into the best possible state of de-
fence; according to the French Papers—a circum-
stance which indicates a dread on the part of Bo-
bIAPARTE that a retreat may be necessary.

Dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON were received
yesterday at Lord BATHURST'S Office, dated at
Lezaca, on the 18th instant, but they detail no ope-
rations of importance. The sieges of Pamplona and
St. Sebastian's were prosecuted with redoubled
vigour. General Sir THOMAS GRAHAM, who com-
mands at the hitter place, has his head-quarters at
Ayerzun in the neighbourhood. The squadron under
Sir GEORGE Coumut closely blockades St. Sebas-
tian's by sea, and on the 19th, as the packet was
leaving the bay of Passages, a dreadful cannonade
was heard in that direction. The heavy ordnance
which recently left this country, was expected to open
about the 20th.
