Foreign Intelligence,

From Papers received by Capt. Parsons,

Arrived at Boston--accounts to Aug. 9.

PARIS, JULY 31.

Duroc, aid-de-camp to the First Consul, departs this night, with the Austrian General St. Julien for Vienna. This is a pacific omen.

The report current yesterday of the signing of the preliminaries of peace enhanced a little the price of stocks.

[This report must have been the one conveyed to England by the American Gentleman (Mr. Grant) and received here in the papers by the brig Alert. It is not said in the Paris Papers whether this report was discovered to be unfounded. The departure, at this moment, of Duroc and St. Julien for Vienna, would induce a belief that it was not. From the usual diplomatic secrecy, it is impossible that the fact can be thus early fully known.]

It is said certain propositions have been made to Bonaparte, by the King of Sardinia.

Bonaparte granted a passport for the Queen of Naples, to proceed by land from Leghorn to Vienna.

It is asserted Malta is completely supplied with provisions.

A union of the Piedmont and Cis-Alpine Government is talked of.

The Portuguese Minister has left Russia.

LONDON, AUG. 6.

The harvest throughout France promises to be more productive than in any other year since the Revolution.

The temper of the people in the dominions of the King of Naples is so very ticklish, that the Government is afraid to allow the success of the French in Upper Italy to be known.

The most ridiculous falsehoods are published as authentic news from the armies. The people, however, are very much discontented, and they have received some accounts of the true state of things. Something called an amnesty was lately published by the Government: but such an amnesty! There are several hundred exceptions, among whom are many persons of high rank!

[Courier.]

AUG. 8.

A private letter from Hamburgh, received by yesterday's mail, contains the following passage:--" It is reported, on the authority of some very respectable letters from Vienna, that Count Cobenzel has had a conference with the Russian Minister at Carlsbad, at which a Prussian Minister was likewise present. At the close of this conference, proposals were sent to the French Agent at Dresden, who forwarded them to Paris. The Northern Alliance will, it is said, act an important part at the Negotiations of Peace, which are now expected for a certainty to take place. The new Preliminaries of Peace, which the Austrian Cabinet has sent to Paris by Gen. Count St. Julien, are offered under the mediation of the Cabinets of Berlin and Petersburgh. A new Russian Ambassador was likewise expected to go to Vienna, where the Government Bills have again risen 4 per cent. so sanguine are the hopes of peace in Austria."

Notwithstanding the menacing aspect of affairs in the North, it seems not to have excited any considerable alarm at Lloyd's for the Insurance to the Russian and Swedish ports in the Baltic has risen only two per cent.

An Officer of the Walloon Guards quartered at Barcelona, having lately indulged in very severe invectives against the French nation, was arrested by order of the Spanish Government, and confined in the citadel of Monjouis.

It is said, in letters from Barcelona, that the Spaniards are very desirous that the French would assist them in an expedition against Portugal. The Court of Spain thinks that an Union with Portugal would tend to consolidate the strength and resources of the Spanish empire.

Lord Carysfort left Altona, on his way to Berlin, on the 28th ult.

A fleet which sailed on Wednesday from Sheerness for the Baltic, has been prevented from proceeding. A cutter was sent after the convoy to order the whole into Yarmouth Roads.

AUG. 9.

We this morning received, by express, Paris Journals to the 7th instant. The number of days which have elapsed since we had received any intelligence from Paris, might have led us to expect a larger portion of information than the Papers which have now arrived have brought.

The only positive hint which they now contain respecting Negotiation is, that Count St. Julien had left Paris for Vienna, accompanied by Duroc, the Aid-de-Camp of Bonaparte, who was last winter employed by the Chief Consul as Envoy Extraordinary, at the Court of Berlin. That the object of his Mission is of a pacific nature, is generally agreed; but none of the Paris Papers inform us for what purpose it has been thought proper to change the scene of Negotiation from Paris to Vienna.

The preparations for War continue, on both sides, and those for defence on the part of France against the attempts of England on her Western Coast are made with the greatest vigour. Perhaps a sense of the weakness of the Republicans in that part, may induce them to boast so loudly of their means of security. It appears that their apprehensions of the object of our Expeditions, are not confined to that quarter, and that they are reinforcing the Garrisons of Holland with Troops.

The situation of the French in Piedmont appears to be one of great danger. A Letter from Turin mentions, that the French soldiers when found alone, were assassinated.

Eight French and Spanish Ships of the Line, and Five Frigates, are said in a letter from Tarifa, in the Southeastern extremity of Spain, to have passed the Straits of Gibraltar.
