FROM EUROPE.
To the politeness of captain Ashby, from London, we are indebted for London papers to the 13th of August. Captain A. touched at Falmouth on the 22d. of August, and had papers to the 18th inclusive, but gave them to the British squadron off the Capes. We learn verbally, however, that not the least hopes were entertained of peace when he left Falmouth. The people in general did not seem to wish a peace on the proposed terms. A few miscellaneous extracts are in this day's Telegraphe from our London papers.
We have also extracted a few marine articles from a Plymouth paper, and the following sketch of the treaty between Russia and France, which have not yet been published here.
London, August 13.
The Hamburg Correspondent of the 2d inst. contains a letter from Amsterdam of the 29th ult. which gives the following as an outline of the reported conditions of the Preliminary Treaty with Russia, signed by M. d'Oubril, at Paris: -
"There shall be friendship and good understanding between Russia and France.
"The Russians shall evacuate Cattaro to the French, and separate themselves from the Montenegrins.
"The French in like manner shall evacuate Ragusa, which will be again placed under the protection of the Porte.
"Both powers shall guarantee to the Porte the integrity of its dominions.
"France promises within a certain time after the evacuation of Cattaro, to withdraw its troops from Germany. Russia promises to use her endeavors to restore peace between France and England. Russia will employ her good offices to accommodate the disputes between Prussia and Sweden."
Such are reported on the Continent, to be the Preliminaries which D'Oubril signed, on the best authority, that it contains other, and most disgraceful terms for Prussia. If the Preliminaries which D'Oubril signed, the barriers of Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea are thrown open to France; the overthrow of the Germanic Constitution is sanctioned: the interests of Naples and of all Italy are sacrificed to Napoleon's family, and Russia is virtually shut out from all interference with the affairs of other European Powers.—Star.
