FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, AUGUST 10.
Guards of Honour are forming at the Hague and
Rotterdam, as well as in the capital of Holland, to
attend his Majesty the Emperor, who is shortly ex-
pected in his new States.
On the 27th ultimo, twenty Spanish vessels left
Bayonne for Spain.
Her Majesty the Queen of the Two Sicilies passed
through Turin on the 29th ultimo, on her way to
Naples.
The ci•tiroant Queen of Holland, under the name of
Madame Durougski cf Warsaw, arrived at Lausanne
on the 16th of July, with a suite of ten persons. She
took a view of the cathedral and the environs, and at
five next morning set off for Slecheron, near Geneva.
An article from Trieste, dated the 23d ult. says,
that the English had, a few Jays hefore, taken pos-
session of the post of Grado, a short way from that
city, but had subsequently abandoned it. Three of
their frigates continued to cruise in that quarter.
INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN.
cFrom the Moat:ter.)
Marshal the Prince of Essling having received in-
lormation that the English army was in motion, sent
la strong reconnoitring party in the direction of Fort
,Conception, with orders to push on as far as Almeida.
The English bad laid mines to blow up the fort,
which they had no inclination to defend against the
troops to which the fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo had
Iso recently surrendered at discretion. They accor-
dingly fired them at the approach of the reconnoitring
party, and evacuated a post which advantageously
supported Almeida. The explosion was not general,
two bastions only having been damaged. The Em-
peror's troops occupy the fort, which car. be easily and
speedily put in the best state of defence. The fortress
of Almeida is invested.
General Sebastiani has reported,' under date of the
29:h June, that an expedition which he had directed
upon Castril, on the frontier of Murcia, had com-
pletely destroyed a body of insurgents, that had been
joined by a detachment of regular troops from Mur-
cia ; not a man of them escaped, all having been either
killed nr taken. In consequence of this expedition,
several_towns, such as Huesca, Oria, &c. sent depu-
tations to declare their submission, and their resolu-
lion of defending themselves against the insurgents,
should they again make their appearance. Every
thing goes on well in the province of Granada.
Some hands of marauders, expelled from La Man-
cha by General Lorge, threw themselves behind the
the

Sierra Morena, to __ southward, in the province of
Cordovo. The chief of battalion, Poinchevalle, of the
51st regiment, marched in pursuit of them, dis-
persed them, caused them to abandon the cattle they
had collected, and killed about 60 of them. The civic
guards of the villages conducted themselves with much
zeal upon this occasion.
A galliot belonging to the enemy, bound to Cadiz
with a cargo of colonial produce, was captured eleven
leagues in the offing by a vessel belonging to our flo-
tilla, in sight of the English. Captures of this sort
take place daily off Cadiz, Malaga, &c. Nine of their
boats, with 14 men on board each, were lately taken,
as they were endeavouring to approach Puerto-Real.
On the 20th July, Corporal Aubertine, of the 7th
auxiliary battalion, as he la as escorting a courier with
a party of 30 men, was suddenly attacked by a body
of 200 brigands. He formed his dispositions so ju-
diciously, and his small party directed their fire with
such effect, that the enemy lost eight men killed, a
greater number wounded, and were finally beaten off,
after a conflict of two hours
On the 27th of June, the chief of squadron of Gen-
darmerie, D'Halmont, with a few foot Gendarmes of
the 14th squadron, a detachment of the 115th regi-
ment, and a company of Spanish Gendarmes, arrived
at three o'clock in the morning at the hermitage of
Viguero, near Adagana, where, according to infor-
mation, one Don Pedro, a brigand chief, dreaded all
over the country for his exactions and cruelties, had
appointed a rendezvous with several of the subaltern
chiefs of his gang, to communicate to them certain
instructions which he had received from Cadiz. The
hermitage was forced, and Don Pedro, with six of his
officers and eight more of the banditti, fell into the
hands of D'Halmont.
NAPLES, JULY 2.
The .sth marching battalion, consisting of 1000 re-
emits, set out from this city on the 25th instant ; they
are intended to complete the Neapolitan regiments in
Catalonia.

" Such has been the result of the ridiculous mem
ces of the English, which the Sicilians, who ',kunst'
this action, ha►e had a fresh opportunity of estimatitig
at their real value.

44 During the action, the English threw a conic*
table quantity of shells and shot on shore, and close
to the camp. The grenadiers of the guard have
picked up about 50 balls, which fell near their quer.
ters. The velites of the guard, who for the first time
saw fire, manifested considerable coolness, and stea.
dily kept their ranks, notwithstanding the shells and
shot which fell in the midst of them.

The King was highly satisfied with the good
conduct, of his sea and land forces, :ad particutirl?
with that of the 10th regiment of the line, which pre.
ved itself wol thy of its former reputation."
" Royal Camp of Pizle, July 15.
The enemy this morning sent off a frigate, three
brigs, and seven or eight transports. They are sup-
posed to have sailed for Malta. It is also ascertained,
that they have moved two of their camps.
Official accounts have been received from Corfu;
the latest are of the 12th instant. That island is in
the most perfect security. The garrison has, within the
last month, received a reinforcement of 1.500 French
troops. All the vessels that sailed from the ports of
Italy and the kingdom of Naples, with grain and
stores of all kinds, had arrived, and brought with
them the return cf abundance. Corn, which had
risen to a very high price, not from actual scarcity,
but an apprehension of the difficulty of procuring
supplies for the ensuing season, fell all on a sudden
50 per cent.
"The English, whose attention at present is mitt,
sively directed to Turkey and Sicily, have recalled
their cruizing squadron, which, though very strong,
was of very little use, since it never was able to pre:
vent the communication between Corfu and the ports
of Apulia. They have evacuated all the islands de-
pendant on Corfu, with the exception of St. Maura.
Trade is entirely free in those islands. On being de-
livered from their tyrants the provisional admintstral
tions immediately sent deputations to Corfu, to renew
their declarations of fidelity."
JULY 24.—A convoy, loaded with provisions and
ammunition, arrived at Scylla on the 510th. Tufty
gun-boats were detached from the flotilla to meet it.
The enemy made some demonstrations as if they
in-
tended to attack the convoy and the gun-boats,. bus
witr.essing the step.diness of our flotilla, they returned
without firing a shot.
An English brig entered Messina on the 20th ; she
fired both broadsides as she went into the harbour,
for what reason we know not .

Another convoy has left Naples, under the corns
maid of Lieutenant Tessiere. A &visian of gun-
bnats were sent cut from ScylLt to protect it, cora-
manled by Captain Carraciolo.

" Royal Camp of Piale, July 20.
" The General of Division Pacthod is arrived as
head-quarters, and will have a command in the army.
" A loner from Reggio of this date states, that the,
Ministers of Finance and of the Interior are still there.
They go several times a week to the camp at Piale,
to transact business with his Majesty. Prince Pigna-
telli is the only Minister who remains constantly with
his Majesty.
'General Campredon, and the Commissary-General
Maret, have been for some days past at Reggio.—
They have established an hospital to receive any sick
that may be in the camp of Kite.
The conscription fur the. present year has been very
successful. Five thousand conscripts, raised in con-
sequence of the decree of the 9th of March, are ready
to join the army. Tney burn with eagerness to grail•
ple with the enemy."

BAYONNE, AUGUST 1.
•
On the sth of July, General Regnier, commanding
the second corps of the army, ordered General Merle
to march with General Marissy's division and brigade
of dragoons to Xeres de los Caballeros, where it was
understood the divisions of Mendizablel and Isnar
were posted. The French troops met the advasFed
guard of the insurgents near Salvatierra, made an im-
petuous charge upon them, and pursued them to the
principal corps, which occupied tormidable intrench-
ments that the French could not reach, without
passing singly through a defile that led to them. But
nothing could damp the ardour of the braves/old-
Teurs of the 2d and 4th regiments of light infantry.
hey cart ied the enemy's positions at the point of the
bayonet, without filing a shot. The enemy's fire,
which was badly directed, did them no injury. The
entrenchments having been carried, the insurgents
took flight, and passed through Ardilla in the greatest
confusion. The Princess's regiment being hard pressed,
formed ivell into a square, but General Marissy, at
the head of 100 dragoons of his brigade, broke the
square, took `lOO prisoners, and left the remainder on
the field of battle.
The enemy had 1500 killed in this engagement,
and a great number taken prisoners.

FRANKFORT, AUGUST 1.
One of our papers positively states, that King Gus-
tavus Adolphus, after a stay of a few days at Toplits,
will pmceed to Vienna.
It appears that a French army will remain in Nor.
them Germany until the vs-establishment of a mart•
time peace. It at present consists of the two divisions
of Generals Gudin and Morand. The former occu-
pies the fortress of Magdeburgh, and the countries
bordering on the Elbe and Saal. The division of
Morand, on the other hand, is cantoned from the
mouth of the Weser to that of the Trave.
It is affirmed that two regiments, belonging to the
division of General Gudin, are to occupy the coati
of the puchy of Mecklenburgh. The French troop*

trio, and Stettin, and which as() not very numerous

BANJO OF THE DANUBE, YULY
Letters from Odessa assert, that the Turks are dis-
/red to procure a peace by the aecrifice of the pro-
vinces of Moldavia and Wallachia.
NUREMBURGH, JULY 29.
One of our journals has published the following
letter, written by Mr. Adair to Sir Francis Warry,
English Consul at Smyrna.
His Majesty having granted me permission to
return to England, I inform you that, unless unfore-
seen events detain me, my intention is to quit Con-
stantinople. I would have carried that into execution
some time ago, if I had not remarked that peace be-
tween Austria and France, and particularly that' ar-
ticle of the treaty which extends the limits of France
to the Saave, had revived in our Enemies the hope of
bringing about a rupture between the Porte and Great
Fiitain. Many persons believed this ; in respect to
myself, i never had the least inquietude upon the
subject—full of confidence in the Porte to fulfil its en-
gagements. I nevertheless thought that it was not
proper to remove from my post at a moment in which
difficulties appeared to arise from fear that a sudden
distraction might confirm the reports which were
spread respecting the pretended misunderstanding
between England and the Porte. The effects have
completely answered my hopes. Our amicable rela-
tions with the Porte have not in the least degree been
interrupted. Under these circumstances I quit the
legation without any inquietude respecting the dura:
tion of peace, being convinced that this powerful em-
pire is completely decided to maintainits independence,
to scrupulously fulfil its engagements, and to employ
for this purpose all its resources."
