The Latest FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Oftofeer 4. Prom Glasgow papers to the Thirtieth of August, received by the Brandy mine, Miller, 31 days from Greenock. Important. The Court of Pet-rfliurg. letters from Hamburgh fay, is very much dlffatisfied with the conduit of the French in the l)ut chy of Wirtembc g, and attaches more im portance to it thin even to the poffeflion ol Malta ; while P-rufiia 12 alarmed at the con quests of the Frenph 111 Germany, and dis pleased at their treatment of the Elector of Bavaria. Therefore one of two things mult happen, either Buonaparte mutt make a mo derate peace, or if his ambition induce him to continue .the war, it will be more dread ful than ever next spring. ' The French mini Iter Baurg,*(ng, set out from Hamburgh to Copenhagen on the 17th, in order to be present during Lord Whu- Worth's Oegociauon. An article from Copenhagen, dated Au gult 11, faysy " Lord Whitworth is arrived from Elli neur. . " Before his arrival, our government sent off dispatches to Peterfburgh by a courier, who proceeded i* the greatest bade through Sweden, and duplicates of them were also sent off by a I'witt failing schooner. *' Orders were given on the 9th., to get ready for sea 6 more (hips of the line. THE DANES Suspend Intercourse wi'b Brttair., Count Bernftoff, the Dinilli Secretary of State, had a .long conference with the Bri ti(h and Ruffian charge d'affaires on the 9th, and immediately after a report prevailed, that our agent Mr. Murray was about to jeturn to Britain. Certain it is, that an order was issued to suspend all intercourse . *ith Great-Britain, and the several outward bouud yeffcij were directed to wait tor far ther inftrudtioni. London paper of August 25. We undcrftand that government received difoatches yeftirday from Vienna, dited the sth itift. containing the answer of the Chief Consul to the dii JAtches which the Aultrun Government alter the receipt of the d<-ter nifnation of the Court of London, transmit ted to Paris, In this answer, Buonaparte, 4ias expressed a willingness t<* treat with Great-Britain and Aullria jointly. Upon these d'fpatches a Cabinet Council was held, and it is probable that a negcciation bet wren the three powers may take place imme diately. Accord : ng to the advices received yeftcr, day, by Mr. Baffico, tlir Mi-flenger, who brought dispatches from Canft.intinopltf, as well as Vi-'nlia, there is reason to believe that Gen Kleber was dlurdered, as has been before reported. ibid. Piris papers to the *id instant, were re ceived in London on Monday. The only ad of importance which they contain, iv the return to. Varis of Duroc from Vienna.— Nothing has tranfpiffd of the nature of the answer he has brought, hut the French fußds having fallen eonfiderably af ter his arrival, it is conje&ured to te un favourable to peace. It is f.tid that cur '■Government is in possession of the arfwer f«nt to Buonaparte. Ciasgotu Courier. PARIS, August >9. Russians.

The army which is now at Brezeck and on the banks of the Vistula, confiils ot four grand divilionj, each of jo.ooo men, of wh ch a third are cavalry. The ft is com manded by General Lal'cy ; the fi'cond by General Reminder ; the third by General Soltikow, and the fourth by Korfakoff. Prince Pancration is finally appointed Com mander in Chief of all thel'e forces. Betides this army, a second is forming in Lithua nia, and o»|the shores of tlie Baltic. At the fame time it is nowcertain that the bed in telligence prevails between the two JmperiaJ Courts, and that Ruflia t»kes the moll livelv intered in the com luCiong «f the war, ana in the future destiny of the Empire. Journal du Deb ts oj tbe 29 Thermid r. At the opening of the campaign the effec tive forces of Austria amounted to 380,000 men. They are not now 300,000, in spite of the recruits they have received. Deser tion is very prevalent ; more than u.ooode ferters have gone to Prussia to offer their services. j ■' The c*traordinary levy of horses has al ready produced above 42,000, though 40,000 v «s the number originally propefed. The Senate of Hamburgh has implored the mediation of the King of Prussia on the fubjett of the .arrest of authors of the Cen sor, as they did in the dafe of Napper Tan dy. The King snfwered, that the point did not concern the armed neutrality, and he -would not interfere. General Berthier left P..ris for Madiid this morning. His mission is said to be ot great importance to both countries. The greatest aftivity is employed in demo ljthing the entile of Milan, and the fortifica tions of Turin, Ceva, Coni, and Tortona. August 21. Though there is no rumour unfavourable to peace circulated in this city, yet the Tiers Confolide fell yeflerdav with a remar kable declention. We are not fiifficiently acquainted with the myfterie* of the flock jobbers to account for this fall. It is pro- bably owing only to thisy th it some finan- ] clefs htvitig fixed iu their own head the da; on which a peace was to be ligned, and having nrJ&e their bargains »tf consequence, the ntieliicy of fulfilling their engagements nude them fell and in this way redu ced the funds, by nuking the number of f-llers greater than that of t*he buyers. DUROC's return. Citiien Duroc arrived yelterday at half palt five"o'clock from Vienna ; not finding Buonaparte at the Consular palace, be in- i ilantly changed his horses and carriagi, and frt off for. Malmaifon. Nothing is known of the fnccefs of his million, but his courier being interrogated by some curious perfotis, replied as he went along, " Good news ! Good new? !" Citizen l3uroc, chief of brigade, aid de camp 10 the firft Co.iful, returned to Paris yelterday morning. £ Journal ties Defcnfeurs de la Felrie. Citiien Duroc, aid du camp to the firft Consul, charged some time since with a mission to the cburt of Vienna, arrived y«lterday morning at fix o clock. He could not pass the head quarters of General Kray, whertt lie was obliged to wait the an swer of the court of Berlin, which did not arrive till the end of ten days. Nothing yet transpires 'concerning the refttlt of his million. [Journal du Dcbalt. It was yesterday morning expefted that the funds would experience some deprefiion, because it was the day of transfer for the (bares fold at the exchequer on the 29th, but the fall of these funds was coniiderable, and every one was eager to inquire into the cause of if A variety of rumours were set afloat, which all appeared to be without foundation. Such as the arrival of l?uroc, who brought an account of the rupture of the negociation, the departure of the profTi an min ster, &c. <Scc, The only ptobable cause, however, of this powerful re aftios, is the indiscretion of those who buy up thtfe funds, without having the faeans of makit.g good their payments, and are therefore obli ged to fell out at any rate they can get ; while others multiply their offers to buy at the moment of the fall, to which they them selves contrive to give occasion. The whole I is only a flock jobbing trick. The Hambutgh mail which .arrived on Saturday, brought letters and papers from India, which contain' the intcrefting intel ligence that a ca fpiracy has been dif over ed at Malacca, which had for its objedl the delivery of that fettlecnent to the republi cans. The plan had been arranged by the goven merit of Batavia, whence a commu nication had been for fomc time carried on with the Dutch refidentsat Malacca Mr. Terms, f rmerly firlt in ccuncil. has been sent to Madrafs by the (ia java, as has Mr Ruddv, ch- Fiscal hy the Eliza, those persons appeari' g to have been principally adtive in the plot. We lament to have to (late, that the Lnrd Clive, in her paflage from Canton, which (he left on the sth of November, fell I in with, and on the 20lh of December was ' captured off Cheduba by the Con(lance French privateer. of 26 bras« 12 pounders and 150 men. The Lord Clive had on board a cargo worth 80,000 dollars. Sir Alan Gardner is appointed C mman der in chief on the Irish station, in the room ' of Admiral Kingfmill A circumstance novel in the service has taken place n the appointments to the (hips captured during the expedition to Holland, where, though the officers are British, and receive their commiflions through the accus tomed channels, the usual phrafrology of " bis Majesty'- (hip " gives place t» the worrii " Dutch (hip taken at the HelJer " Since the Channel Fleet has b en under the command of Lord St Vincent, the Road of Bred has never been so completely block aded. We are informed by ".he lad dispatch «s, that Irom the month of May not a An gle vessel laden with provilions has entered that port. Yet Brelt, situated at the ex tremity of Brittany, a fertile province, and in the mod barren part of it, can only pro cure provisions by lea.

About half a milt from this is a j Garden, calle 1 Hamlet's Garden, said by j tradition to be the spot where the murder j of his father was perpetrated. Frederick , 11, King of Denmark conflru&ed Cron- , beig in 1577, and fortified it (Irongly. It is fifteen miUs from Copenhagen, near the , town of Eliineur, and is the betl defence of the country, whether against those who would attack it on the fide of the ocean, or within the Baltic Sea- It is here thu the duties of the Sound are levied for the King of Denmark. It has been taken by the Swedes more than once. , August 27. j This morning were received Paris papers till the 24th initant, which were obtained by a Gravefend paflage veflel that arrived at Dover on Monday night. A paper of the 23d mentions the intended jcurney of the &ing of Prussia into Silefra.

By it we learn the arrival of Lord Whitworth at the place of his destination. This intelligence is con tained in the following letter : Extradl of a letter from Elfineur, August •' On the 10th, in the evening, his ma jesty's (hip Andromeda, J. Bradby, Esq. commander, with Lord Whitworth, and Mr. Drummo;id, the future Charge d'Af fairs at Copenhagen, on board, arrived a little below the Castle, No doubt is enter tained here, that every misunderstanding. on account of the capture of the Danilh vefltls, will soon be adjulted id an amicable manner.'' Ihe mail brings us advices from Vienna of the 6th, the fame date as that of the dis patches which government received by the last mail. Count St. Julien and citizen Du roc have arrived there : but thi» event, from the manner in which the article speaks of it. does not appear to have happened m». Ny hours. On the fubjeit of negociations we are not iurnifhed with any new light whatever. . The report of the death of Klebcr, by the hands of an Arab, is icpeated, as a report from Conll niinople, but with ex prcfßons of doubt as to iti truth. Buonaparte, we learn from Rome, is negociaiing with -lie Pope for a restoration 'of the Cattiolic religion in France. It i' difficult to fay what could be the necessity for ncgociaung on such a iubj-ft. Ihe fame article adds, that it is the intention of Buonaparte to march a force through the EccleSatlical States against the kingdom of Naples. Thi would be the lame error by which the Directory lolt Italy in '99- War is not carried on with impunity at the fame moment, on the Lake of Gaida and at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Thre morning a mail whs received in town from Lisbon, dated 3d August, brought to Falmouth in the King George Packet, capt. Yefcombe. The King George Packet, failed from Lif- j bon on the 4th instant, and arrived at Fal mouth on the loth. Paflenge<s by this Packet are, Le Cheva lier de Aiglee, the Sardinian Envoy, capt. O'Keefe, lieuc. Plant and lieut. Dunbar, both of the 35th regiment of foot, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Webber, Mr. Vindrimnti, Mr. Foster, Mr. Orr, Mr. Harrifon, Mr. J age, and Mr. Brown, a Portuguese Mel fenger. The intelligence which this mailings 1 is of considerable importance. Extraft of a private letter from Lisbon, re ccid by the Mail this morning. Lisbon, August 2. « I,aft week an exprels arrived in great fpced from M idrid, and a Council of State I was immediately called ; finee then two other expieffes hate arrived ; and there have been many Councils held. Orders have been if l'ued to press every person that could be laid hold of for the army and navy. The fr«n tiers have been dircdled to be htld in readi ness for defence ; and the Packet has been detained till to-mori-ow to fend the result of the Councils to England. To guard against incidents, the other pac : ket is to fail on Thursday next, with du plicates., You will alk, why alt this con ! tufion ? I am going to tell you j Buona parte has sent propositions of peace to this goverhmefit> which ar< laid to be a demand of ten millions of Crui'ades (about 2s. 6d.) each ; that the port ffcould be open to the French, and tliat they Ibould be here upon equal privileges with the mod favoured na tions. He gives sixty days for a definitive j answer. after which none will be excepted ; and threatens, in cafe of refufal, to march 60,000 men into Portugal. He concludes by faying, " You know me well enough to be fare that I never fay any thing I do not jocrform." If England agrees to these re- J| quifitionf, we may go 011 pretty well, but J 011 her determination depends everything.

On the ioththe Ad miral landed under military honors. Sir Alan Gardner is appointed com mander in chief on the Iriili station, in the room of Admiral Kingfmill. A circumstance novel in the service has taken place in the appointments to the (hips captured during the expediti on to Holland, where, though the offi cers are Britilh, and receive their com miilions through the accustomed chanels the usual phral'eology of " his majesty's {hip," gives place to the words " Dutch (hip taken at the Helder." Since the Channel fleet has been un der the command of Lord St. Vincent, the Road of Bred has never been focom pletely blockaded. We are informed by the last dilpatches, that from the month of May not a single vefiel laden with provisions has entered that port. Yet Brest, situated at the extremity of Brittany, a sterile province, and in the moll barren part of it, can only pro cure provisions by sea. We findincon fequence, that the greatest scarcity pre vails there, both in the town and on board the ships, the crews of which are in want of every thing, especially wine I and brandy. The Portuguefc government have, we understand, imposed a duty on wines th.e produce'of that kingdom, for the purpose of paying the interest of the paper currency of the State, and for gradually liquidating this debt, which at present greatly embarraffes'the mer cantile operations of the country. The amount of the duty is not mentioned. Monsieur and his suite, with the duke of Bourbon, and a large party of the French noblefle, dined on Saturday with the Earl of Liverpool, at his feat near Croydon. The following articles of the Treaty of commerce between Great Britain and Denmark, relate to the present iubject supposed to be in dispute : " Art. 3d. The undersigned Sovereigns engage mu- s tually for themselves, their heirs and successors, not to furni(h their refpee tive enemies, if they thould be agrefs ors, with any assistance in war, such as soldiers, arms, cannons, (hips, or other articles necessary to the carrying on of war. If the fubje£ts of either of the undersigned Sovereigns shall a<ft in con travention with the present article, the | King, whose fubjefts (hall so a£V, shall be bound to proceed againfl them with the greatest severity, and to treat them as seditious persons, and persons guilty of an infraction of the alliance.

According to these. three new Republics, will be ere&ed in Italy, to be called the Cisalpine, the Cifpadane, and the Piedmontefe, which are afterwards to he consolidated into one. To the King of Sardinia is to be a£fii>ned a penfioi of half a million of livrts.
