Tbit most im portant intelligence was brought late Lft night ty two Gotten burgh mails and a mail from Heligoland. On the 1 otb, the fix days' notice of the renewal of bofititties was given, and the determination of Aufhia was made known. On the 13th the who c Aufirhn armv in Bohe - m 4 n;ta was put in motion, and the , Auflti«*n head quarters were re- 1 moved to Piague. Os ihe firfi j operations in Siiefia, or on die I Bohemian frontiers, we have ! not yet received any detail* ; I but wc have >hc French cfßcia account »f die fi ft anions nea- Hamburgh. Davouft who, as we (aid yesterday, hid quitted' Hamburgh and taken a pofi.ion 1 at Bergs dor ft, broke up Bom his cantonments on the 13th and proceeded to attack the Psullians and Ruffians at Lau enberg. They were not in firong force, about 1400 men ; but they had thrown up en trer chtr.ents and had feme ar. lilleiy. The enemy ft or tried ii on the night of the a 8 h, and the a 'lit s tetir-d acrols the Steckni z. Such is the French account- -their luccels ispioha bly exaggerated—but even if it be not, ii is not of much im portance. We shall loon fee in this-quatlcr movements and opeiations of more conse quence, if Davouft remain on jne north of the Eibe. Mean- J while the Crown Prince is drawing wear the Elbe.

An attempt has been m.;dc during the armistice to take away the Crown Piince’s life. On the nth, whilfl be was reviewing ioroe troops near Cuftrin, a shot was stied at him from one of the ba terics—it fell within thirty ya'ids of him without tir ing him any injury. His loyal brghncfs called the French com mandant before him, and con fented to receive sn apology for this violation of thcnuce, w hich no man will believe to be accidental, A Harwich letter from an intelligent conedpondent, men. tions a report of a severe battle having been fought on the 17th the rduir of which was favora ble to the allies—but the places where it was fought are not fta. ted. the amount of the force 0 ' which the a'lies can Ivir* in*o /the field, ue have no ptrecife I account, One let'er from Go - * tenbu • 1 (fates Austria to have \ I5n;0oo, RuiTra 2GC.00o i ar.d 1 Sweden and Prufiia 127.000 — in til 477,000 men.

Bell’s Weekly Mefienger. md the London Courier, both of lhem miniflerial pa pers, have lately thrown cold water upon the expec tations of peace. The Mes- j fenger fays that “ nothing can be expected from a Congress ’ —and the Courier asks, “ Who is there that • thinks lecure peace (with I France) practicable at this moment ?’* The fame rea- j son is atTigned by both,viz— that England ought to yield nothing as to the great ma ritime points. The Mef lenger declares that she ■ ntuft exercise all her ‘rights of search, colonial blockade, and overhauling crews and { goods.* 1 he Courier equal- i ly protefis again fl the fur icnder of one atom of their ‘ vi art time rights, the main mail of her conflitution and her newer.* *4V* • |'Vfl V. & • The Messenger fays no thing diredly as to Ameri can affairs—yet the right it puts in of overhauling crews is enough to show us what are its expectations. The Courier is icis reserved *As little likelihood (it adds) is there of any speedy adjustment of the differen ces with America.’ and e choes the expression of the : Pr ince Regent, that *he i will not content to purchafc the refforation of peace by any facritice of the mari- ! _ m „ t* tiir.e rights of the British empire.' It is fufiicient for us so fay, that we do not ask the facrifice of any right— but merely the abandonment of ja wrong, which has been pra<stifed upon u*; for such we contend, according *o the law of nations, is the | a slump? ion of overhauling our crews . We cite theie Journals to fnew the flight expedition which is enter tained in England of peace wit!) America, and the ne celhty which it imposes of calling out all our resources I to meet the brunt of war. * Bo. TON, October 2.
