g em resorted to for the purpose of slackening the ef . forts which the British Government is now making in their c.inse. That NAPOLEON will endeavour to give a semblance of truth to the report, by contriving et rAnds for couriers, need not be doubted. Let the Austrians beware of this snare. The c ouriers employed by the French on such occa sions are well known to be Officers of, Engineers in di,guise, and nothing but the most senseless infatua tion could induce the General of an army to admit a pe rson of this description within the precincts of his C.imp. Since writing the above, another Gottenburzh Mail h as rriveJ, but it brings no intelligence from th e theatre c f war. The restrictions imposed by Russia ab►ainxt the admission of British produce, continue to be enforced with great rigour at Riga and other Rus s;an ports. The Swedish Papers are filled with the cvremonials attending the swearing of allegiance to the new King. SPAIN. We this day submit to the notice of our Fttaders same important documents, extracted from a variety et' c ommunications, to Xing Joszpit from his Agents, intercepted by the Patriots and sent to the Supreme 3%anta. Some of them have neither name nor date ; circumstances which are not unfrequently left to be ccmmunicated verbally by the Courier others have all the cerem , nials of office. The great pecuniary embarrassment of King JOSUPII, and the extortions which have been practised upon both priests and laity, will appear from another document, in which the Governor of Burgos applies for his monthly stipend to the Minister of Finances. ti letto was yesterday received from the Capital d Spain by a merclian. here, from a near relation, of a more r&cnt date than any before obtained. The Nt•riterexpresses himself enigmatically, in order to con ceal the subject of the communication from the French Post-masters. The following is the passage to which we refer : " Madrid, May 29. " (CutsTA) pays his creditors well in Andalusia; and he tag fulfilled his engagements so completely, that we fully expect It will conic and do the same here--(in Madrid)." T..is riddle is not of difficult solution. It obviously means, that, in the opinion of this Corresponden-, the Spanish Commander haA managed his resources so discreetly, that he will soft be enabled to visit Ma and pay the French in their own Goift. PORTUGaL. I . l .'e!'.a.ve received a series of the 6' Diario dt Oporto," v:r..:.11 was published during the late and short occu p.i.:*e:: of that city by Frertch. The first .number axe c t on the sth of A•?ril. It furnishes us with ap^ligy for t.t.: horrible massacre of the :n:iabitams of OpJrto, on the ‘29th of the preceding The catastrophe which Oporto has just suffered l-as been truly dreacrill, and should serve as a warn. to all those who have the folly and temerity to un. de-take great enterprizes, without calculating the means, or looking forward to the results. But, amidst the horror with which so severe an eximple must arcs every fer ; lin:?: heart, there is certainly abundant matter of c7nsolation to minds capable of weighing to the balance cf genuine philosophy, and justly ap porciatin:, pr ceedings which are the more to be ad. :tired, the less they were to have been expected.— At all times, and among all nations, even the most tv,lite and civilized, a town entered by storm, and carried by assault, has invariably been exposed to the fury of the conquerors, and paid with its entire Lstructien the penalty of its contumacy. All history zbounds in facts of this description, and unfortunately that of Portegal is not less fertile in such fatal and larnenetble examples. What is termed the right of tar,' puts into the hands of the conqueror every thing belonging to a contumacious city. Life and property—overy thing is placed at 'his disposal, and depends entirely upon his pleasure ; and the termina tion of the assault is, in general, the commencement of destruction. Conflagration, death, and ruin, im mediately follow in the train of victory. Such was the melancholy fate which the unfortunate city of I Cpinto had to apprehend from a conqueror, princi pally exasperated by the barbarity of some fanatics, who, mi :taking ferocity for valour, and insubordinate lion for patriotism, and throwing otf all respect for Covernment, dared to imbrue their hands in the blood fit um- cf the French Otlicers, sent in with a flag of truce, in contempt of the law a nations, by which, lmong every people, such persons are held sacred and invielat,ie. But DiviNe. PROVIDENCE had de tkra-pa,....1 that all should not suffer for the crime of a te, and, in the +ltlfilment of his profound and inccria. , ble decrees, he permitted the French army 't , ;• r,,rarnanded by a hero, in whose - heart valour homanity contend for superiority.

We believe that the general embarkation will take place by the 18th, as formerly mentioned; in the inctsvAirne every nerve is straining by all the publii dep. 4 it is : much to their credit, every o n e of the pliblii ards has one of their Members at one or other of. the points of embarkation, expediting the service. Orders have been issued for 29 additional fire-Ships to join the Expedition, on the eve of departure. An itnmense number of green -faggots bave been em barked, which is probably designed to repair the roads for the conveyance of artillery. If this armament be intended to act on the extensive plains between the Eyder and the Texel, there is scarcely a vegetable production to be procured in this whole range of country adapted to that purpose. We lament to hear that there is a great deficiency of Medical Officers on the present occasion. We understand the whole force, which will exceed 30,000 men, will rendezvous in the Downs. 4, PORTSMOUTH, JULY 13. " Sir EYRE Coors, and the Generals under him, arediatly exercising and reviewing the troops in the three camps here, and practising them at firing.

CAPTAIN 13AncLAv. —This extraordinary man, as we stated yestei day, won his match at 17 minutes past three o'clock. in a much better state than could have been expected, and in the presence of several thousands of spectators. He immediately went into a warm bath, and the bell, of Newmark t rang a welcome peal. The Captain next put on his flannels, by the advice of his surgeon, and went to bed, and was not called until eleven o'clock at night. He felt no in convenience on the match, until the lonrth week, when he became rather lame in the back sinews and calf of his right leg, which never could be elrectually relitc,Ved, although the pedestrian was much better at the Let-min:viol' than at the end of the fourth week. The Captain has won about SSOOO, and the aggre gate of IN•tling may be computed at 815,000. ELOPEMENT.—A young Lady of considerable pro perty, 'a years of age, who resided with her uncle and guardian not far from the gates of Chelsea Hos pital, was missing at nine o'clock on Wednesday eve ning when expected from her usual walk. Her maid servant, who acc , •mpanied her mistress on her walk, is gone off with her. The hue and cry was raised, and yesterday morning the Young Lady was traced to Kingston, in the company of a Dragoon Officer, and afterwards to the place where they breakfasted at Hampton Court. No further tidings have been heard, but the fugitives consisted of four at the breakfast. table on Friday, the principals, and the man and wo man servant of each. The late PATCH.—Our readers will recollect, that, at the memorable trial of Patch, for the murder of Mr. Blight, at his house near Deptford, it was proved that Mr. Blight was possessed of a pair of pistols—one of them only could be found —every possible exertion was made to find the'other, but in vain. The East Country Dock, which is within a few yards of the late Mr. Blight's house, has been excavating for some time past, for the purpose of deepening at, to admit large vessels, and to increase the stowage • within these few days a pistol has been found among the mud, which, on comparison with the pistol at Mr. Blight's house, proves to match which is a convincing proof against Patch, as no other person but himself had ac cess to Mr. Blight's pistols. --•-.-- .NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. • • PLYMOUTH AND PLYMOUTH-DOCK; JULY 11.

RestILLY stated,' that this case came beer, his Lordship again under an Order which had be •n made for compelli g Mr. William Jupp, of Gorinle ia Sussex, and his dattghter. Miss Clara Jupp, to AS tend in Court, to answer for a contempt of lets Lord ship's injunction. Miss Clara had been at Mis Wilmot's board'ng sell( of at Farrah 'm, in Sum!, and there had met with a minor of the name of Pet • • Horrocks, who was one of Mr. Lock's scholars. An attachment was formed be. ween the patties, hut t to uncle and guardian of Peter Horrocks, who is a minor, with a fortune of £50,000, took measures C.l interrupt the happiness of the lovers. He made hitn a ward of Chancery, and obtained an order to prevent all correspondence between them. This order was served upon Miss Clara and her fa- Aber. The guardiati, Mr. Samuel Horrocks, toge ther with his partners,Mr.Meredith,and Mr. Robinson, filed affidavits in June last, stating they had reason to believe that the intercourse and correspondence be tween- the lovers were Still carried on, with the conni vance and countenance of the ftither, and a Mr. Eis dale in Baker-street; and that Miss Clara, upon lea ing served. with the order, had blade the magnani mous declaration,that " she didatoreare for a htindrel Lord, Chaacellors ' Sir &genet. further stated, that Mr. jupp.'had now.-filed an affidavit in his own mu . - .eation, affirming tliat he had never encouraged the intercourse, and justifying himself in . general terms. l'he affidavit, *he "okserved, was .defecttve, however, inasmuch as it omitted to answer particularly to some of the most material charges; .espe6ally in not an swering td the fact of his having giveti a ball, in his house, subsequent to the order, at ,which he Alowei Miss Clara and the minor to dance together. As for Miss Clara, she had said nothing in h er' own defence. Mr. HEALD appeared for Mr. Jupp, who was him self in Cduit,.and.stated; that the plaintiffs had re presented Mr. lapis as merely at-farmer, in order to impress thrimptopriety Of the intercourse between the parties the more strongly upon his Lord hip's mind, from the very inferior condition in life of the defen dant; But though Mr. Jupp farmed part of his own eroperte, he was a man of some thousands a year, and cf an ancient famity. Though he bad not thouglt proper to state these circumstances in his affidavit, it being no very pleasant task for a men to vaunt of his own pedigree and income, and of the large fortune he could give his daughter. He then contended that I the affidavit was a complete answer to the most ma terial allegations on the other side—that Mr. Jurp had endeavoured to put an end to the intercourse -1 that he knew noteing of the meetings at Mr. Eis dale's, though when on one occasion Mr. Peter Hor rocks had come to his house he could not turn him lout of •doors. Sir S. ROMILLY wished for nothing harsh, hut he still contended that there were defects in the affidavit. Ail he asked with respect to Mr. Eisdale, was, ta..t the injunction should be served upon him. Mr. RICHARDS, for Mr. Eisdale; assented to this: Mr. HEALD stated that Mr. Jupp was ready t amend his affidavit. • The LORD CHANCELUSR said that Mr. Jupp mutt turn the minor out of his house 11 he came there, and desired her father to tell Miss Clara that she.must go to prison if she permitted another visit. He allowed time for Mfr. Jupp to amend his affidavit, and ordered the case to be mentioned again - on Monday. Mr. HEALD expressed his hope that his Lordship would impose some restraint on the minor, as Mr. Jupp would almost prefer. any present punishment, to the constant apprehension of tire viotation of the in - junctian by any meeting- between 'his daughter and Mr. Horrocks ; to whia 'his Lordship replied that he would attend to the suggestion. • . 'LONSDALE th BRYAN. Sir S. Romttax stated that the defendant, a pictur! dealer, had got possession of a valuable picture be 'lunging to Lord Lonsdalc. Mr. Bryan had become bankrupt, and he now applied for an order to . have the picture placed in the Master's Office. LoltD CHANCELLOR--Take the Order. The. Ma ster's warrant will be better attended to, when he has such a curiosity in his. Office. BARRY e. HOWLING. . . Sir S. ROMILLY stated, that this was an applica tion to have an answer taken o ff the file for irrele vancy. The .plaintiff was a boatswain who filed a bill against the defendant, complaining of some tran sactions of the defendant in the way of agency. The answer Ica, that the plaintiff was now dead, and that the proceedings were of course abated. This was false, and besides, it was no answer. Order granted. Yesterday W. Shepherd, who was lately taken in cus tody at the Bank, was again put.to the bar. at Guild hall, charged with uttering two forged receipts, far the payment of money, with intent to defraud Richard Mondy. It appeared that the prisoner was' cl.rk to broker, and received the money to.purchase £6O stock, which money he turned to his own use, and counter feited the receipts,.which was discovered on the party making application, for the dividend. The prisoner was attended by Counsel, who directed liim to make no defence till he came to trial, for which purpose he was fully committed. .
