you can dig under the existing foundation to a depth of 300mm and flood the area with concrete creating a square block of concrete connecting new foundation to the old

what about rebar?
the new fundation has it so, should be any conection between old and new wall?
if the new wall start setting will be some damage to the stones?

to connect rebar to existing you can drill holes in the foundation and feed the new rebar into the holes.And then concrete in place
