Ity his Royal Highness's Command, NASS. THOMAS. A transport has arrived at Plymouth in eight days from Cadiz, and has brought a number of letters and papers from thence ; but they contain very little be yond the general expression that every thing was going on well, and that- the enemy were nearly driven out of the whole South of Spain, which was expected to be totally cleared of them within three weeks. When the above vessel sailed, it was in contemplation to make a sortie, to destroy the enemy's works, and compel him to raise the siege. Some reinforcements had arrived, and were landing when the above vessel sailed. Another Transport with a number of wounded invalids has arrived from Lisbon. She left the Tagus on the 30:11 ult. at which time the rumour of a se cond sanguinary engagement between the Allies and Souk still gained credit there ; but no certain ac counts had been received. Private accounts from France to the sth instant state, that the people had atlength become acquaint-' ed with the disastrous state of affaiis in Spain and Portugal ; that the deepest impression had thereby been made upon the public mind, particularly at Paris ; and that the most serious consequences were apprehended by the Government. A Gentleman who left Biscay on the 23d of May, who slept at the same inn with JOSEPH BONAPARTE, on his return to Franie, and who, during a residence of three months in the neighbourhood of the Pyrenees, had continued opportunities of ascertaining what was riming there, states, that not a single French soldier had entered Spain since the arrival of BESSIERES ; and that, on the contrary, a consiierable number, princi pally holever non.effectives, had returned to France. Jour*aua Seir to the 2d inst. have been received in town. Nexotiorr arrived at Cherbourg on the 25th ult. He was expected to retdrn to Paris by the 6th inst. In an article, dated the 4th ult. from Pres burg, it is said that Russia has offered to relinquish all the fortresses of which she had possessed herself, South' of the Danube, as a temptation to the Sublime Porte to accede to conditions of Peace. An American vessel has arrived. at Plymouth in 26 days from New York. She has brought over several letters which agree in stating that the French interest in that country is rapidly on the decline, and that there was a general desire and expectation of a speedy adjustment with this country. It has been currently reported, since Saturday, that a Russian Messenger has arrived with dispatches to our Government. Some say, with the copy of a Manifesto prepared by the Russian Cabinet, prepara tory to a rupture with France: others, with a tran script of the Preliminaries of a Treaty of Offensive and Defensive Alliance against France, sent for the concurrence of the British Cabinet. Time will explain this business. In the mean time sae have to state, that it is known that two Couriers arrived at Paris on the 31st. ult. with dispatches from Petersburgh, the contents of which were supposed to be of the utmost importance, as the telegraphs were immediately set to work, and expresses were sent off to BONA E on the coast. Our private advices enable us to add, that several more French corps had rneived orders to march towards the North ; and every appearance favours the expectation of late so encrly entertained, of an approaching rupture be meen Russia and France. It will, besides, be veep]. lcet2d, that in the debate of Friday night last, thr; CnANert.Log of the EI:CM:QUER expressly stated, • that he did not think it likely BONAPAIat would row be able to pour large reinforcements into the Veninsula, as it was not improbable that he might lave eLiplopnent fine his force in another quarter." It Isis indeed reported, on Saturday, that advices been received of tl.e Court of Pe.craburgh being , out to issue a Manifesto, declaratory of its motives fer breaking off all connection with France, and that an open rupture was expected immesliately to take place.

French Generals had been engaged in reviewing the Prussian troops, and others were to be immediately employed in investigating the military resources to be derived from the Polish population. Letters from Buenos Ayres, by the Cathcart, which arrived on Saturday, state that the Alfred, and some other vessels, have been taken by French cruizers in the Rio de la Plata. Viceroy ELIO has had the temerity to take possession of several British ships, and to send them into Monte ViJeo, on the ground of their having resisted the blockade he had ordered of Buenos Ayres. This Officer, with a competent force, had proceeded to Colonia, to quell an insur rection in favour of the revolution which had made its appearance in that dependency. The conduct of Ecto had so much irritated , the new Government of Buenos Ayres, that a considerable portiotvol the Europeans resident there had been banished to Cor dova, and it was expected that a general order would be issued for every native of on Spain to quit the Settlement. a new 98, is expected to be launched the ensuing autumn The BOADICEA and la MANCHE frigates, and FAVOURITE cutter, are paid off. rou - smourii, JUNK 9.

The most active preparations are going on in Sweden to repel, any sudden attack, but we are hot informed what part Sweden is likely to act in the event of hostilities breaking nut in the North. The following are the most interesting alti des from the Swedish Papers, brought by the above Mail:— SWEDISH POMERANIA, APRIL 27. As a pool of the zeal which animees us in provid ing fur the defence of our country and coasts against the common enemy, and anticipating the wishes of our beloved Sovereign and Generalissimo, it may be ob served that within a few days after the publication of the Royal Ordnance for the conscription, no fewer than 7,742 men presented themselves to be enrolled, of whom 1,300 were armed and equipped, and im mediately marched to the coast. VIENNA, MAY B. The maritime armaments are carried on with much activity at Constantineple. They have constructed thirty gun-boats, but it is very difficult to procure as sufficient number of sailors to man them. The victories of the Weehabites, in the kingdom of Yemen, are confirmed. We are under considerable apprehensions for the city of Moka, against which they have directed their principal efforts. The new Grand Vizier no sooner entered upon his functions, than he expedited &mans throughout all the provinces of the Empire, by which the "aches were enjoined to make an extraordinary levy of troops in their Governments, and informed, that the least negligence or resistance on their part, would be very severely punished. • The mission d the Russian agent, Fenton, to the Turkish head-quarters at Schumla, has not succeeded. He r eceived for answer, that it was not possible to treat for Pe•ice between Turkey and Russia, so long as this Power pretended to remain in possession of Mol davia and Wallachia, and whilst her troops did not evacqate Servia. STRALSUND, MAY 14. Our town, for some time past, has assumed an im. posing aspect. We see daily arrive here from Swe den troops of every description. We are busily em ployed in preparing means of• defence, in case the English should attack our coasts All men capable of bearing arms have been put in requisition, as welt to ccmplete the troops of the line as to form corps de land.trion, destined for the defence of the interior.

The opinion of the Court has been published ; the chief features of it are, that there was! .nert sufficient evidence of the revocation of the French Decrees, that the British Orders in Council were therefore its complete authority, and that the Ame rican vessels in question were left by their own Go- , vernment to take all requisite measures for their own security, and therefore to inform themselves by legal inquiry, whether the- blockade of the trench ports continited to exist. The decision was postponed in consequence of its being stated that additional evi elence respecting the revocation of theFrenchDecrets had been recently received from Paris by the Ameri. can Charge d'Affaires in this country.

FRIENDS TO RELIGIOUS LIBRKIIt Saturday a numerous meeting of the Medi of Religious Liberty di ne d toget h er at the Free. masons Tavern. Lord Fit 46AL, and the Dar:Tates sent by the Catholics of Ireland to present their ad• dress to the Prang RIEGUNT. bard beta invited on this occasion. The Erni of Moen* Was in the chair. After dinner " the Km," the PRCNCII R.WESIT." and " the Quests, and the rest of the Royal Family,' were drank with great applause. The Chairman then gave as a toast " May a mu - tuel respect for each idler's religious opinions he the firm foundation of Union and Harmony an:ong all communions in this country!" This toast was draide with enthusiastic app! The twit toast was " The cause of Religions Li berty all over the world," which was 1-Iluve'ed he Lang and repeated burs7s of applause. The Earl of MOIRA then ruse, and observed, that of all the functions which had develved on hint by the honour that had been done him of placing him in Chair, the t isk of the greatest difficulty and anti to him was the necessity of aediog any observeti ins of his teen to that sentiment, the bare men:ion of which hid produced such loud and almost tumultu ous applause. To such a sentiment he feared tnat be could find no words to do justice, and that the ob servations which he conceived it his duty to nuke mile not increase the impressiou already in their minds. They were there assembled to celebrate a memorable triumph which the cause of reli gious liberty hid lately gained, and which af. forded strong hopes of being succeeded by fresh triumphs, until :t complete recognition should be °b ullied of the right, the indefeasible right, of ever y man in the United Kingdom to worship God in his yen way, and eccnrding to his own conscience, with Out being steijected to pains and penalties on of his religious persuasion. No human power had a right to come between the soul of man and his CUES. eott, and dictate the homage that was to be p.:id ; neither had any human power the right to indict paies and penalties on any man for worshipping Gen in the manner that he conceives m , st pleasing to him. He felt it necessary to preface by some obsess...titans the toast which he intended to propose. The l owers, with whose company they were then honoured. ha I come over to this country as the reptesentetives many millions of our fellow-subjects if the Roman Catholic persuasion, who were Low excluded liens a participation in the constitution of the et/teary. by the existing laws. They naturally sought to have iles great grievance redressed, and they felt it the more severely as there was no other portion of his Majesty's subjects who had shed more of their blond in the Ste. fence of this country and its governntert than the Catholics of Ireland. The people of Ireland, gem:- rally speaking, worshipped Gou after the manner of their forefathers, and far the greaser part of them continued of the Catholic persuasion. For this alone they had been visited with severe pains and penalties, and are still excluded from a fair perticipaeen i • cite Constitution. The removal of those penalties and disabilities ender which they still lelsoured was the object of the Address they had brow ht over. This they demanded notes a boon, but as their birth-right ; and for their jest rights they had been instructed to offer to this country the cordial friendship and sup. port of the Catholic population of Ireland, If the Catholics of Ireland were firmly united in the bonds of friendship, and by the ties of equal rights and clue' interest with the rest of their knew subjects, this United Kingdom (at it might then justly be called) might laugh to scorn all menaces of the enemy, even 'should all the rest of Europe be tinder his controul. It was highly grateful to every liberal mind to per ceive how fist the prejudices of ancient bigotry were new dying away, and there was every reason to anti cipate the full and complete triumph of the cause of religions liberty, which would bring with it lasting harmony, and rr e ptual friendship and so/spoil from all persuasions of the people. Atter some tither obser vations, his Lordship concluded by e drinkilig tit the health of their guests, the Noblemen and Gentlemen • who had been deputed topresent the Catholic Address, which toast was received with the loudest aeplause. Lord FINGAL, in a shat speech, remitted thanks for the great honour which the meeting had done their guests. He assured them, that the Catholics of Ire land did offer to this country their warmest ft iendship and support, as the price cf what they conceived to be their undoubted rights. They were as loyal and as ready to shed their blood in the defence of the country as any other portien of his Majeset 's subjects, an d conceived themselves entitled to equal rights and privileges. He concluded by giving the health of Earl Moira, which was drank with distinguished eppieuse. Lord MOIRA declared, that no custom ti y form of wor d s suitable : common occasions could convey his sense of the honour done him by drinking his health with such melted applause. He should con tent himself, thereft re, with saying, that he teturned them his most since re thanks. The Chairman then ;cave the health of the Stewards. Lord &resume; rose, as one of the Stewards, to return thanks. He congratulated them and the court ' try on the late triumphs in the House of Lords, and hoped chat it would be the preface and prelude to other triumphs still more important. This triumph was obtained by the number of petitions presented, and the union of serniment which pervaded all per suasions upon the subject. He thought that to se cure religious liberty, all the different religions should remember the story of the bundle of sticks, wl.ich, when united, could not be broken. If they continued united, the cause of religious liberty must ultimately triumph. He concluded by giving as a toast, ..a 'wig pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether." The t RAHMAN then proposed the health of that Nobleman- to whom the Catholics had entrusted their petition, Lord Donoughniore. Mr. C. Hteremesose in the absence of his brother (who bad left the room from indisposition) returned thanks, and said, that his Noble Relative had always been a friend and supperter, trot merely of Catholic Emancipation. but of Religious Toleration in general. He bad supported the cause, when it was unfashiona ble, and even dangerous to support it ; and he was well assured, that he would net swerve in his latter years from what ha 1 been the principles of his youth. Mr. Hutchineon then made minty observations on'the justice of the cleials of the Catholics of Ireland. • During the evening. there were many songs, and the greatest herm — ony and conviviality prevaikd.
