GO7TENBURGII HAIL.

GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 24.
We have received farther confirmation of the Aus-
trian Declaration. Some small affairs of outposts
have taken placet but nothing of great consequence.
Five hundred Bavarians are taken, and carried -into
Berlin.
ST. PETERSBURGii, AUGUST 10.
The Italo-Spanish Legion in the Russian service,
(which must not be confounded with the Spanish re-
giment of the Emperor Alexander, which is going
from St. Petersburgh to Spain), is formed of deser-
ters, and is daily increasing, as many days there
come in from sixty to eighty deserters, who are tired
of the French service, to join it. Should Austria
break out, the loyal Illyrians will assuredly follow
this example.

BERLIN, JULY c 7.
The Prince Royal of Sweden arrived at this capi-
tal on the 24th instant, and alighted at the Royal
Palace, where the Princes and Generals were in wait-
ing to receive him. On the next day, his Royal
Highness paid a visit to the Princes and Princesses
of the Royal Family, and afterwards dined with
Pance William of Prussia, brother to his Majesty.
In the evening, he appeared at the Theatre, where
the public received him with the greatest demonstra-
tions of joy.
Yesterday, his Highness, accompanied by the two.
Princes, Henry and William, and by a tinmernus
suite of Swedish, Russian, English, and Ptussian Ge-
nerals, reviewed the troops, and caused them to per-
form several evolutions, at which he expressed his
perfect satisfaction to the Commanders. He after-
wards returned to the Palace, where be gave a dinner
of 60 covers, to which all the Generals were invited.

FROM UoPER SILESIA, JULY 12.
[Extract of a private Letter.]
" The great number of Austrian troops cantoned
on the frontiers or Bohemia, as well as their excellent
appearance, gave me the highest satisfaction. There
were six regiments of infantry, and two of cavalry,
assembled at the interview of his Majesty the Em-
peror Alexander with his august Sisters at Opotschna.
The infantry had arrived but a few days before from
tl:e frontiers of Russia, where they had fanned part
of the auxiliary corps which the Austrian Court had
placed at the dipositii n of Napoleon in the war
against Russia. The troops had received orders to
pay the same military honours to the illustrious tra-
vellers, as are paid to the Imperial Family of Austria.
On the 20th of June, the Emperor went to view the
fortress of Josephstadt with much attention, the arse-
n 4 and the military w orkmen. On the 21st the fine
regiment of Colloredo Islansfeld defiled in parade
before his Majesty. It is the same regiment which,
in 1799, fought at Novi, underhis Imperial Highness
the Grand Duke Constantine, who gave it a gratifica-
tion of one hundred ducats to he distributed among
those who still survived. The Emperor likewise be-
stowed many benefactions on it ; every soldier re-
ceived double pay ; every individual decorated with
the medal for merit, had 14 ducats ; those mho had
served the term of two enrolments received twelve,
and those of only one, had ten ducats. The eighth
company of this regiment has a military band, formed
of Bohemian subjects, which played in the presence
of the august per s.nages, whilst four men performed
Sclavonian, and six others Hungarian, dances. On
the 22d, they inspected the fortress of Koenigsgratz,
and were present at a grand mancetivre.

LONDON.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1813.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Miii s, the Messenger,
arrived at Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Office, with Dis-

patches !rem Lord CATncatti. and Sir CIUARLFS
STEWART, dated from the Head-quarters of the Allied
Army, at Landech, August 16. These Dis-
patches, as might be expected, relate to matters of
the greatest importance :--the Declaration on the
part of the EMPEROR of Atsritta against the EM-
rgnott of the FRENCH ;--and the Alliance and
arrangements concluded, or on the point of being
so, between Austria and the AntigalliCan Confede-
racy, tor limiting and restraining the ambitious pro-
jects of France within some kind of bounds, and se-
curing to the Kingdoms and States of Europe the
quiet en job merit of their respective possessions, on
some basis niore solid than that of the mere will cf
an unprincipled Usurper.
One thing is remarkable. No battle had taken
place bet:seen the opposing Armies up to the rate of
these dispatches. To what is this to be ascribed ?
Were the parti:s waiting till the absolute expiration'
of the six days which were to follow the Armistice,
and which would expire on the evening of the day
on which Mr. Mixt..6 left Head-quarters ? Or are we
to believe, that notwithstanding the Declaration of
Austria negociations were still continued ?
'The latter is not impossible. It is NAPOLEON'S
character to bully to thelast moment. We know that
this was the case when the last hollow peace was
concluded between France and this country. On that
occasion the French Plenipotentiary swaggered to
the very hour of concluding the Treaty, lamenting
the aniseries which Britain would entail upon Europe,
if she would not recede from the terms she had in-
sisted on, as his master would not concede a single point
of what he had proposed as the basis of a solid peace.
—On being plainly told Was 114 Master ;)3ight foUow

Ms own inclinations, for that England had now pre-
sented her Bd/iota:urn, the Frenchman said, that if that
was the case? his instructions were to Open a scaled Id-
ler which he bad in his possession. The letter wa
opened, and contained orders to close with the last
terms proposed by the British Minister.

It is therefore possible that negotiations may still
be carrying on but if they are, NAPOLEON has yd
much to concede; for the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA,
when he first proposed an Armistice, pledged him.
in the most solemn manner to the Allies, that Le
woad consent to an Treaty, till BONAPARTE hr,d
withdrawn his troops from Germany, within tile•
boundary of the Rhine; and to this we may add, that
his demands are not likely to be lowered by th.
knowledge he has since obtained of the success tkt:
has attended Lord WELLINGTON'S operations in ti
Peninsula.

If we may credit a report brought by the Nelsr,i
packet, which brought the Messenger to Harwich.
another skirmish took. place on the rill between the
outposts of tl.e CnoviN PI:JNCT; and those of the
French, in the neighbourhood of Berlin, which ter.
minated in favour of the former, upwards of 504
Bavarians having been taken rri•oners.

NAP ARTE has kit Goci:litz, but in whJt direceon he

has moved we know not. It is probable, however,
that he may have advanced in the directicn t f Bra-

are inclined to belizre tb:,t l is first treacherous at-

tempt upon that place really failed. l'he Austri..c,

Ministers at the Courts of the. Grand Duke. of Wurtz-

burgh and Frankfort, have set out for Vienna. In

this way, another intimation is given to tl.e French
people of the Austrian war.
BONAPARTE, with a div'sion of, his army, may have
moved forward n adyance for a specific purpose,
but all the intelligence in the French Papers conti-

nues to indicate preparations for a retreat. The Staff
and Commissariat of the Vrench Army has been
moved horn Dresden to Leipsic. '
The Saxon Government has convoked a Dist to
provide for the extraordinary expences of the times.
—We cannot but feel far the unhappy condition of
the inhabitants of Saxony—for what objects are they
called upon to provide these extraordinary resources
The traitor MARCOUNI—the Lalian renegado, who
governs Saxony as Prime Minister, ought to make
good these expences out of the riches which BoNis.
PARTE has heaped upon him.

We are nauseated with another article from Ham•
burgh, in the French Pacers:--we have no doubt
whatever that VON 110aENDORP will justity the
Emperor's choice."

The beast in human form, who cans himself Vim
HOOENDORP, and who is now Military ,Governor of
Hamburgh, is a Dutchman—a native of Rotterdam.
Early in life he made the tour of the Dutch Settle.
ments at and beyond the Cape of Good Hope, in a.
military capacity. In these elegant seminaries he
superadded, to the natural unfeeling disposition of a

Dutchman, the more elegant accomplishments of a
slave-driver ; and, during his residence at Cape Town,
was distinguished by the commission of two or threc
murders among the Hottentot soldiers. He became
at length so obnoxious, that he was sent home, by
order of the Dutch Governor, previous to the stiffen.
der of the Cape to the British. He joined the French
party on his return to Holland, and was by them retain.
ed in employment, made an AidedeCamp to the unfor-
tunate King Louts, and, like the rest of the Members
of the Legion of Honour, made Its way to that dignity
by an open disregard of all the principles of honour: he
was the first to ctnvey to the ear of the Great NAPO-
LEON, the expression of aversion and abhorrence which
his brother had. frequently uttered against the Con-
Oneptal System—for services like these, Von HOOEN.
DORP was made what he now is. He is the confiden-
tial friend of VANDAMME, the Military Governor of
Holland.

General MOREAU, since his arrival in Sweden, liak
been invited to visit the Emperor ALEXANDER, at
Prague. The Emperor's message was conveyed to.
the veteran General by Colonel RAPatm, who acted
as MOREAU'S Aide-de-Camp during the most brilliant
part of his military career. This Officer passed
through London about a twelvemonth slice, on his
way from America to St. Petersburgh, where lie was
received with the greatest marks of distinction, and
immediately appointed to an important command in
the Russian army, as m entioned in the STAR at the
time.

The flattering reception of Colonel RAPATEL on.
the Continent, was the chiet, if not the only induce-
ment to General Mourato to quit his retirement in.
America, and since his arrival in Europe he 1, un-
derstood to have concerted with the Crown Prince of
SWEDEN a project for organizing all prisviers taken
from the French into a separate corps d' Armee, to be
called Moreau's Legion.—,He has declared, that no
