FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

STRASBLRGH, APRIL 15.

Notwithstanding the satisfactory accounts received
diiiing the last two months, respecting the success of
our arms in Spain, French troops still continue march-
ing to that ccuntry. According to letters from Bout-
deaux, various corps arrived there in the course of the
month of March, having come partly direct from
Paris, and partly by the military road through Li- .
rnoges and Perigueux : after a short halt they pro-
ceeded on their march to Bayonne. That part of
the grand park of artillery, and the division of the
park of light artillery, which first broke up from
Passau, had also arrived there, and were under or-
ders for Spain. A train of battering artillery is col-
lecting at Bayonne, to be employed in attacking the
fortresses in Spain and Portugal, which still hold out.
The General of Division Rogniac, who has assumed
the command of this branch of the service, has his
head-quarters at Bayonne.
Among the troops that lately passed through Bout-
deaux on their way to Spain, is an entirely new divi-
sion, formed at Augsburgh, and consisting of several
regiments of the line and the 4th legion of the Vis-
tula. There is a strong garrison in Bayonne, which
principally consists of the depots of the regiments
serving in Spain, including French, Poles, and
Dutch, and also an Irish regiment. The men who
are exercised at these depots set off by detachments
for Spain, to reinforce their corps, and are from time
to time replaced by fresh recruits.

VIENNA, APRIL 7.

With respect to the hostilities that have broken out
between the Turkish and French troops, our journals
give the following account :—A quarrel took place
in the fortress of Siszeg between the French troops
and the Turks, in which the latter were worsted.—
The Turks, exasperated by this occurrence, secretly
assembled in great force, and making a sudden onset
upon the French, took 300 of them prisoners, whom
they beheaded or impaled. Marshal Marmont, the
moment the news reached him, marched at the head
of a corps chiefly consisting of Croatians, carried the
fortress of Siszeg by storm, and put every Turk in it
to the sword. The battalion of Ugolin particularly
distinguished themselves upon this occasion.
The following is a copy of a letter from the Em-
peror Napoleon to the Archduke Charles, requesting
him to officiate as his proxy at the recent marriage t
44 I know not a worthier Prince, a greater Com-
mander, than your Imperial Highness. The two
memorable battles in which we were opposed to each
other in the late war, made me so well acquainted
with your merits, and so covered you with glory in
ray eyes, that I am anxious to give the world a so-
lemn proof of my sentiments in this respect, by pro-
posing to you, try Prince, to espouse, in my place,
and by virtue of my full powers, my beloved Louisa,
the future Empress of France. Be pleased to perform
for me this interesting act, which tends to secure the
tranquillity of Europe ; and by giving my hand to
the Princess Louisa, to efface every thing that is not
inseparably connected with a perpetual friendship be-
tween France and Austria."
