VIENNA, August: 14.
On the 12th inst. the recruit
ing in Vienna, and all the Aus
trian Htredetary States, began
with great a<stivity. The move
ments of the troops likewise still
continue.
It is afierted, that two great
powers have agreed to use their
united endeavors for the resump
tion of their negociation for
peace, which was interrupted
by Baron NovoziltofPs depar
ture in order to preserve the
peace of the continent, and to
rcftore it to the maritime pow
ers. It is added, that our go
vernment, as well as the French,
have delivered a note to the
• Ruffian cabinet, containing a
wish, that the negociations,
which have miscarried even be
fore they were properly begun,
should be resumed : and it is
said; that notice of this decla
ration has been given to the
courts of London, Madrid and
Berlin.
August 15.
Notwithstanding all the ap
pearances of an approaching
rupture, many people are of o
pinion, that war will not take
place, but that more probably
a congress will be held. How
ever, it is very likely that the
whole army will be placed on
the war eftablilhment, by the
firft of .September. Moreover,
it js positively asserted, that fe
verai battalions of the frontier
troops are already on their march
to Italy, pursuant to orders ; &
that 90, cOO Ruffian troops are
already on the Austrian fronti
ers. A great military promo
tion is also spoken of, in which
a field marshal, lome generals,
major generals, will be appoint
ed.
On the 13th inst. a train of
102 pieces of cannon, with the
necefTary ammunition, left Vi
enna for lraly; and the road
from Vienna to Baden is so co
vered with troops, that travel
lers can hardly pals that way.

Letter from Ratifbon, Aug. 20
Ihe declaration which the
Austrian imperial court trans
mitted at the commencement of
the present month, to Berlin &
other courts, is in substance as
follows :
Though the emperor, dur
ing tne present maritime war,
has taken no diredl part in the
different attempts that have been
made to restore peace, his ma
jesty, nevertheless, wished that
this definable obje<ft might be
accomplished through the me
diation of other powers. This
wish of the court of Vie ma be
came still more ardent when his
majesty, the emperor o t the
French, publicly declared, that
the definitive arrangement of
the affairs of Lombardy should
be deferred till the conclufi >n of
the war, and fhoud be connedt
ed with the negociations that
were to lead to its termination.
The court of Vienna, having
pofleflions in Italy was, there
fore immediately interested with
the negociations for peace, and
had manifefted, on various oc
casions, how earnestly it wished
to be able to contribute to their
fipeedy commencement. It con
fiequently heard, with pieafiure,
of the pacific overtures made,
at the beginning of the present
year, by his majesty, the em
peror of the French, to the
court of London, and likewise
of the resolution of the latter
power to employ the interven
tion of another court. With
deep regret the emperor learned
the failure of the above menti
oned pacific mission.
“ The court of Vienna, there
fore makes a tender to mrer
pofe its good offices, invites the
refpedtive courts to relume the
negociations, and flatters VtftTf
that the court of Berlin will
likewise contribute its efforts,
conformably to the lively mte
reft it has, always taken in the
restoration of the public tran
quility.”

very “count from Aigefiras,
that th * attack of the gun boats
on the morning of the 27th ult
was conducted by the Spaniffi
admiral Don iruno de Ezefa in
person, in full hopes of being
able to burn fir Richard Bicker

hotfhoti but in loading with

an office, a.id two men were
blown to pieces on board of the
gun boats, which ft ruck such a
anic into their whole line, that
no persuasions of their offi ers
could induce them to try any
further loading with hot shot,
which was the ciufe of their
precipitate retreat. The fame
teccKuits add, that since their
etui.. to Aigefiras, four men
ore have loft their lives in
raftifing the firing with rei
hot shot, which has so damped
the spirits of the crews of the
gun boats, rhat it is very doubt
ful whether they will ever at
tempt that mode of attack a
gam.

BREST, August 23.
Our fleet anchored yesterday
in Bertheame roads j the van
has had an engagement with the
English squadron, which was
terminated entirely to our ad
vantage. Admiral Gantheame
had detached Rear Admiral
Wilhumez with a light squadron
confiding of the Alexandre,
Foudrovant, the Impeteux, and
two frigates. The enemy had
also detached seven ships and
frigates. The Valeureufe, one
of the two French fricrates, be
gun the engagement. The A
lexandre and the Impetuex dash
ed into the midst of the enemy’s
vejlels. The cannonade was ter
rible between these ships and
three three-deckers, one of
which was the Hibernian, hav
ing on board admiral Cornwal
iis. Valecureufe, in rearing,
made a fkilful manoeuvre, pai
fing the firm of one of the En
glifli flaips pouring in her broad
fide, aiiw r, vdvereby
many men must have been kil
-Id. Both the galleries were
knocked to pieces. The En
ghfh fuffered confiderablv, and
had two of their ships difmafted.
We have had one man killed,
and a dozen wounded. A ship
hiving approached oile of the
flanks of our anchorage, had to
sustain the fire of the new batte
ries, which difeharged more
than 300 shot.
We hope that our part of the
coast will be as fatal to the En
•hfh as the coast of Boulogne,
and will equally merit the title
of the coast of iron. A general
engagement was loudlv called
for, the enemy having an equal
force ; but superior orders had
marked circumstances under
which the admiral would have
been authorifed to give battle.

tc We hasten to communicate
to you the following important
intelligence, rec’vd from Me firs.
Hammond and Holmes, pas
sengers in the Susan and Sarah,
Marner, arrived at Newport
form Bordeaux, which place
they left the 11 th September.
(( 150,000 Ruffians were po
sitively on their march for Italy
—All the troops in the south
of France were marching to
meet them—A body of French
troops had taken Venice and
Naples—she ct Army of Eng
land” had left Boulogne in three
divisions ; one of the divisions
pahed through Lisle on the 3d
September for the frontiers.—
Austria has not yet openly de*
dared what part she will aft: in
the contest j but she has 300,*
000 men ready for service, and
60,000,000 florins in her trea
sury. There was no doubt in
France of a combination having
been formed between Raffia,
Austria, Sweden, and the Porte,
and that they would all immedi
ately a£l against France. Prus
sia has not decided.— Bonaparte

NEW-ORLEANS, Sept. 14.
We can state, from a fourcc
that may be relied on, that an
army of 5000 men is on irs
march from Mexico, toftrength
en the Spamfh frontier on Lou-
i liana, —We cannot but think
it would be advisable for our
government to throw a few thou
lan l troops into this country.—
Even though we should remain
c p~ace, it would be well to
ibew a state of preparation for
war.
