Foreign Summary.

The 9th Prnssian corps was on 1t:
march to the interior OF France.
1t appears that Nantz is to be garri
|sonetl with 6000 Prnssian troops. Prus
Sian troops wrre.at Caen.
Austrian troops continued to advance
towards France, even from Hungary and
from italy.
"A Danish army IS marching to tho
French frontier.
Additional British troops continue to
|enter France.
We do not perceive any account OF the
advance Of Russian igintOrcements.
The Paris official gazette of August
lis. says neither the austrian nor Rus
sian armies in France have been rein
forced. There are Paris dates S days
later than this.
100000 lbs. of bread, 100000 los. of
meat. and 100, GOO litres of brandy, are
daily issued to the allied troops at and a.
bout Paris.
$4,000 muskets and 81 cannon have
been delivered from the FFenctdepot at
yicennes to The English aud Prassians.
10000 were to have been delivered to
the Russians and they went for them,
but some difficulty prevented the delise-
~.
The London Morning Chronicle Of
August IS, says, the letter recently pub
Iished as from Louis Is, is proved to be
genuine BY 4 letter from the Duke Of
Berri. But this we believe is matter Of
Inference from the sentiments Of the.
