FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

At the Imperial Head-quarters at Elms, May 1.

By virtue of a command of his Majesty the Empe-
ror and King, Chastelar, soi-ditard General in the Aus-
trian service, ringleader of the insurrection of Tyrol,
and causer of the murders committed on Bavarian
and French prisoners, contrary to the laws of nations,
shall be brought before a military commission, and
executed within 24 hours after he shall be taken, id
this as the leader of highway robbers.
(Signed) ALEXANDER, Prince of Neufchatel, &c.

According to letters from Augsburg, his Majesty
the Emperor Napoleon has given the Duchy of Salz-
burg to the Hereditary Prince of Bavaria.

SALZBURG, MAY 3.

The journal of this city contains a proclamation of
the Marshal Doke of Dantzir to the inhabitants, in
which, among other things, it is said—
" You shall never again return under the government of Aus-
tria: a better fate awaits you. The militia (landweer) shall
return to their houses, and by down their arms at Salzburg. All
the communes in which the militia shall not have laid down their
arms within eight days, shall be fined and treated with military
severity."
In the same Proclamation the Tyrolese are thus
addressed :
6' Hasten to avert the calamity which threatens you. You have
no ether choice thar. a speedy submi4sion, or an obstinate defence
which must occasion the ruin of your country. Have recourse to
'the clemency of the greatest of Emperors, and deserve the same.
:f you delay longer it will be too late. Lay down your arms, Ty-
rolese, and save your country."
The will of his Majesty the Emperor of the French
is, that the country of Salzburg shall be governed in
his name. •

The following is the account of the insurrections
on the frontiers of Westphalia :,--The notorious Schill
has directed his course from Goslar to Wittemberg
and Dessau, after having forced the commandants of
these two places to open their gates to him. He car-
ried away from the first place 100,000 Saxon crowns.
This free-booter appears to be in the pay of the late
Elector of Hesse, but does not avow himself to be in
the pay of any Sovereign. It is certain, that these
enterprizes were concerted with the rebels in West-
phalia, and assisted by the intrigues of the Prince of
Hessia in Bohemia. It is said, in letters from Berlin
that a great ferment prevails there. A great num-
ber of the military of all ranks, are proceeding from
the city to Bohemia. Schill appears to have accom-
plices of high rank in the war department.

The following note has been published here
On the 22d of April, a detachment of Uhlans
proceeded from Egra to Wundsiedel, a town in the
principality of Bayreuth, where they arrested Mr.
Fischer, (titular) Counsellor of War, and Baron
Ruzinstein, Director of the Circle. They were both
transported into the interior of Bohemia, and their
families are ignorant what has since become of them.
His Highness the Prince de Ponte Como, informed
of this proceeding, so contrary to the rights of .na-
tions, and the principles received among civilised na-
tions, caused the Count de Zettwitz, the Judge of
the village of Dittel, and the Post Master Asch, to
be arrested. These three hostages will answer for the
safety of the two civil Officers arrested by the Aus-
trians. They will experience the same treatment as
the others, and will not recover their liberty till the
others are restored to their families. This carrying
away two public functionaries, performing peaceably
the duties of their office, is an act of violence, such
as would have been expected only of a horde of Tar-
tars, not of a regular Govetinment."

General Bonnet has repaired to Torre-Laver,
four miles from St. Ander. His reinforcements have
arrived there. The division of General Gouvion St.
Cyr is arrived at \'ick, in Catalonia. Marshal Au-
Fereau is arrived to take the command in chief of
these provinces, in order to commence the sieges of
Gerona and Tarragona. From 10 to 12,000 West-
phJlians have proceeded through Perpignan into Ca-
talonia. Mr. Urbina, intendant of Valladolid, arriv-
ed here yesterday evening. The French begin to ac-
custom themselves to the climate of the country.-7

SPAIN.

" SEVILLE, MAY 6.—The report of an immediate
edict announcing the Convocation of the General Cor-
tes in Spain, gains credit every day, and' is received
with enthusiasm and delight by all classes of people. It
is highly honourable to the little province of Asturias,
in addition to the early declaration of its sentiments,
and the great military exertions with which it has sup-
ported them—that of the two Deputies which is sent
to the central Junta, the one, Jovellanos, is said to be
the author, the other, Marquis of Campo Sagrado, a
strenuous supporter of the measure, which the captive
King Ferdinand himself recommended, and which
will restore the people of Spain to their ancient rights,
and constitution. The Deputy from Zaragnsa, by
name Caks, and the Secretary of the Junta, Garay,
who is also an Arragonese, are among the warmest
of its advocates ; another proof that those most firm
and determined in the cause of national independence,
are to be found in all communities, among those who
are attached to the internal freedom of their country,
and ha;fe a bias in favour of popular government."
In addition to the above intelligence it appears by
the last accounts received ham Seville, that the army
of Estramadttra, commanded by General Cuesta in
person, consists at present of 25,000 effective infan-
try, and about 7000 effective cavalry. The whole
of the infantry, and one half of the cavalry,, are on
the other side of the Sierra Morena ; head-quarters
at Mooasterio, advanced post at Ftiente de Cantos
and Santos. The other half pf the cavalry, under the
command of the Duke of Albnquerque, are upim this
Side of the Sierra, being quartered in the villages
about Seville, on account of the scarcity of forage in
Estramadura. Besides these forces, there is a garri-
son of 5,000 men in Badajoz, as Many in Cuidad
Rodrigo, and bodies of armed peasants dispersed all
over the country, who harass the enemy exceedingly.
The army of Carolina, commanded by Venegas, un-
der Cuesta, is composed of rather more than 15,000
inianuTs and about 20(X) effective cavalry. It hiis
