In consequence of the negoti ations for pence between France and Austria continuing so long without being brought to a suc cessful close rumors have for dome days been afloat of the like lihood of a renewal of hostilities between those two powers, and of th Russians and Prussians v, liting with the latter against France and those rumors i:i part seem strengthened by the follow in ( article, which is taken from the London Papers of this moa ning.

This experience, whi h he dearly bought, and my con stant solicitude to promote the prosperity of my dominions, led to a negotiation for peace. “ My Ministers empowered for that purpose have met those of »he French Kmperor. My j wish is an honorable peace—-a j peace, the stipulation of which offer a prospect and possibility of duration. The value of my ar mies their unshaken courage, their ardent love of their country, their desire strongly pronounced not to lav down their arms till an honorable peace shall have been obtained, could not allow me to agree to conditions which threat ened to shake the very foundati ons of the monarchy, and dis grace us. “ 'Fhe high spirt which anni mates my troops, affords me the best security that, should the en emv vet mistake our sentiments and dispositions, we shall cer tainly obtain the reward of per severance.

This event hap pened towards the latter end <>f the month of Ramoian, in tho year 122.1 of flu- Hij-erree, {corresponding with the middle of Nov. 1808 of the Christi h •/E'*a.)Tlir following ire the particulars. A hrge Russian force, well mpointed and armfirtred, and pjwrrfully sup port, dhy formidable artillery, h ving m relied from T.-fflets, for the purpose ot reducing thr fortress of Prw .u ; in te'lig' nee of their movements was coifi mmocatedto \lahorned Houss in Kahn, K-tijjur of Cosvet-n, R gler R gee, the High in Digni v. Immediately on the receipt »f the information, that Chief tain assembled together such troops of the victorious army is he had in readi ness. and proceeded by rapid m .rrhes to meet the Russians. As soon as the two armies came within sight of each other, the enemy opened a heavy fire from their artillery which destroyed a portion of the Persi »n troops. Upon this, Mahomed Houss on K .hn. the re nowned f >r hr v rv. calling to mind the w rds of the proverb (which id,v be translated—“ The better port of valor is discretion,) —had recourse to the W iff >re of flight— he thus inveigled the Russi ms to fallow him, and directed his j v? iv towards the fortress of Aroomee. I woere the tents of his soldiers were in ■ termixed witn the dwellings of the in ! habit <nti. The pursuit was k- pt up hv • lhe en mv with mu r h eagerness and | pr-cipit »tion, un it they came within range of *he fortress: when the Persi m artillery opened. and, at the firs discharge, a vast numberof the Russian so dit'H w re consumed in the fire of mort ditv At the same moment, the victorious troops of Mahomed H-.ussain Kahn rush d, with drawn s'imitars a mong the rmks of th- enetnv, and ~ man' t-d their discomfiture. In the ..onfiict which ca»ucd, about 7 or 800 q Russians Wl a prev to the remorseless S'VoVr), m r.v of their chief uns were made prisoners, and a great oart of their guns, arms, and accoutrements, fell into the hands of the conqrn ring Persi ns.

At f ht same time, Mahom ed Moussdn Kahn himStlf proceeded towards Teffteez, in pursuit of the Rus si ns. When the irtJligen e reached tilt Prince Ab vz Vlirza, he immediately forwarded a detail of the circumstances of the victory to the King, and, taking the field in person, with a powerful ur my, also set out in the direction of Ll’efflrez, with a fix. d determination in mis v liantmind, toextirpatetheßussian nation ! “ Mahomed Knrreem Kahn Afshaar, (a relation to the Prime Minister, Mir z Mahomed Shusset ) received instruc tions from the King, to spread ;-bro id the tidings of this joyful event; Threfc despatches uron the su* ject were ac cordingly sent from Tali eran j ope to the Princeofthe World, RuUr of Per sia and Kiiokh deny a, of all tin- Havens and Shoies. and of the Land of Lhar— another to Mahomed Nubee Kalin, Lord of the Sea—and a third to the Bri tish Envoy. “Vs moreover, it w ; ,s manifest, that, in this iff ir. *he Russians h d Intn the aggressors, it now occurred to the mind ■ oi tin King, that they must have actgd under the inflii' nc t of the French Am h t«-s .dor, at present in attendance at the Court of Persia. The dust of vexation* therefore, settled in the skirts of the Rov.il favnr towards t* e French nation. { and it became desirable in the ev. s o{ ; th-- King, that the friendship Subsisting with that people should he dissolved. He was inclined to dismiss the Embas sy. and according to one report, has actually done so—according to another, however, which is consider., d as the more authentic ot the two, he Ivis post poned the < xrrution of his purpose, tin til the arrival of’he British Envoy.” PARIS, August 30. ; The English commander in Spain 1 having been obliged on his retreat, t leave a great number of wounded at ; Talavera, wrote the fill..wing F-tterto J the general in chief ofthe French ar my “ Si*,—The fit- of war has placed in your hands u number of English of. j firers and soldiers.

This morning arrived the Earl of Leicester packet, capt. Ham mond, from Holigoland, with the mail and sever d passengers, who report that no certain intelligence had reached that place from the Austrian head-quarters, but the prevailing opinion was in favor of the renewal of hostilities between the emperor of Germany and Bonaparte, and it is considered ag most probable, that the next packet which may be expected to-mor row, will bring news to that effect. Put back the Lord Duncan pack er, capt. Hamilton, which sailed on the 4th inst. w ith mail for He ligoland, and remain* with the Readbreast gun-brig, PORTLAND, Oct. 22. Capt.
