All the letters wp receive from Spain, *Ty refpee ling the details of the confpiracy difcovered at Madrid, but they confirm the exiltence of it. If we may ere • dit private accounts, the King of Spain, after the execution of the meafures ordered againft the Heir to the Crown, ecnvoked a Grand Council, at which be espied the motives which had led to this at of jut} feverity. He declared that the examination of the papers found at the Prince's, had furnifhed too clear a •proof of his fun's correfpondence with his enemies. This declaration was proclaimed at Ma. drid, and fent into the provinces, where it had pro duced the deepelt fenfation. DRESDEN, NOV. 4. Wothing pofitive is known here or even in RutGa of the aElual relations between that Power and England ; it is reported, however, that the Britifh Government kas given to the Cabinet of St. Peterf. burgh the pofitive affurance, that it has no hoftile intentions againft it : but it is added, that the Court of ltuffia his demanded the reflitution of the Da - nifit fleet, and that the Emperor Alexander infifts upon England contenting at length to re eftablifh maritime peace upon a pit and folid balls. Lord 4evefon Gower has not yet quitted St. Peterfburgh, and has lately tent to London an important note delivered to hi m by the Minifler for Foreign Affairs, which con. tains demands relative to this fubjed. FRANKFORT, NOV. 9.

" MY LOIN " I have the honour to acquaint your Lordfhip. that Difpatches hav‘ been received this morning from His MAJISTY% AmbafTador at the Court of St. Peteriborgh; by which it appears tfpat the EM. iaoa of RUSSIA, having publifhed a Declaration, in which his Imperial Majefty announces his deter. urination to break off all communication with Eng land, and recal his Minifter from this Court, and not to permit the continuance of a Britith Miffion at that of St. reteriburgh, his Majtsry's Am ... • baffidor has demanded his pa - ports, and is now on his way home. I have loft no time in communicating this intelligence to, your Lordthip, in order that it may be made as public as poffible without delay. 46 I have the honour, Scc (Signed) " GEO. CANNING!' The intelligence contained in the above was, brought to town this morning by Sir Roam - Wis.:on from Peterfburgh. The Flag of Truce which failed from Dover on Sunday morning latt with the Aufirian Meffenger for Calais, was forced back by contrary winds, and came iato the fame port on Monday. Yefterday morning the failed again with a fine breeze from the weftward, and it was expeaed would reach Calais before night. French Journals to the 17th came to hand yeller day after our paper was at prefs. Their contents are not, however, of much importance. They mention briefly the Spanilh confpiracy, but the only new fat Rated refpating it is, that the Duke de l'lnfantado has abfcoaded. The charge againft the Prince of ASTURIA is that of having correfpondcd with the King's enemies—a charge eaaly made and not very uncommon. It is natural for an ambitious Minifter to with to have his oWn enemies confldered as thole of the throne. Branau is at length to be furrendered to Maria before the Toth of this month. Its furrender has been aipulated by a convention, by which the province of Montfalcone is ceded by France to Maria, and the Thalweg of the Ifonzo is to be the boundary of the kingdom of Italy with the Auftrian Rates. There are, 'no doubt, fecret articles in this convention, by which we take it for granted, Aueria is to Ihut her ports, and perhaps declare war againft us. But it is rather extraordinary that the Moniteur of the 14th, igth, and 16th, thould fay nothing further of war having been declared ; an event which it had afferted on the 13th I to have aftually taken place. All Portuguefe (hips are declared good plus. Private letters have been brought over in a fmug gling veffel from Middleburg. They have ferved to give birth to a number of re ports, Come of which we are far from crediting, and (hall mention but briefly. They fay, that frefh arrangements have been made between France and Pruffiat that the King of WEST. THALIA is to poffefs Berlin for his refidence, and that FRIDERICH WILLIRK is to be indemnified by the pofreffion of Dant zic. It is further (aid, that in Holland, as well as in the Danifh dominions, a pertinacious continuance of a communication with England is to be punifhed with death ! _ _ The latter report is in every refpeel entitled to no credit whatever. The motives which produce BONA ',tares meafures may be in themfelves vile and de. tellable enough ; but flill he has motives. Further, his decrees to enforce the rigorous execution of pro. hibitions are altogether needlefs. The end is already completely attained. All cnrrefpodence, and every kind of commerce between England and Holland, we reluitantly coafefs, have now ceafed. THE AgmT. EXPEDITION UNDER SIR SAMUEL HOOD.

The definition of the expeditiodis fecret. The prevailing rumour is, that they are defined for Madeira. PROJECTED COMMERCIAL REVOLUTION. The fubjed of the prefent article appears fo wild and extravagant on the ftrft view of it, that many of our Readers may be inclined to confider the whole as a chimera. Let fuch recoiled that NAPOLION°II plan for uniting the great family of the Weft," in one alliance, to the exclution of this country, was held; when fill announced, to be equally a chimera, but we have ken it nearly accomplifhedi.--Let fuch recoiled the tone adopted by his Minifters when (peaking of the "hero who is to realize the fplendid_ projeds of Ciiati,s !a as e, and extend the blelfings o f his protedion to the molt remote nations of the earth, uniting the whole in one common bond of fraternity." Vide were not expeilions ufed without any mean ing. The Cabinet of St. Cloud has long been occu pied in arranging the detail of operations necelfary for the execution of a plan which it fondly hopes will I make France ultimately not only Miftrefs of Europe but of the world—and we are now enabled to lay fome of the leading outlines before the public. For the detail we are indebted to a Gentleman of character who lately came from France, where he enjoyed the privileges of American citizenfhip, and was in habits of intimacy with fome of the * perfons attached to the Government, and not entirely igne rant of its views and fentiments. The plan appears romantic in the extreme, and we may hope will prove impradicable ; but it would be imprudent, after the experience we have had of Napoleon's extraordinary powers, to treat them with abfolute difregard. The King of Sweden is to be compelled, on pain of forfeiture of his Crown, to join the continental confederation. No more naval Flores are to be per mitted to come to this country from the North, and we are to have no peace but fuch a one as (hall anni hilate our maritime greatnefs. For this end American (hips as well as Britifh are to be excluded from every port of the continent; no produce from either of thole countries, nor from the Weft Indies, is to be received in any port belonging to France, or in alliance with her. Thofe countries are to trade with each other, and to exclude the reit of the world : they are to form a grand commercial confederation, extending from the extremes of Europe to Afta, and uniting the frozen regions of Norway and Lapland with the Eaft Indies. This trade is to be carried on internally by means of great roads and canals, and round the coafts by [mall veffels, proteded by guns and baste• ries placed on advantageous fituations. Gibraltar is to be taken from us, and an army of 60,000 French and Ruffians are to aid the native Princes in driving us out of the whole Continent of India. This being accomplifhed, the lucrative com merce of the Eaft is in future to flow through Perils, Turkey, Ruffia, and France, and from thence into the other States of Europe, A canal (as thefe peo ple pretend) is to be dug for the purpofe of connect ing the Euphrates with the River of Pheafants, at Tome place in Armenia, where they are laid to be very near each other ; by which means the ancient conveyance of merchandize from India along thefe rivers into the Black Sea will be reflored, and the Danube and the Don will there receive them, and clnvey them into the interior of Germany and Ruf• fia. The Danube is likew•ife to be connected in four di erent places with the Elbe, the Maine, the Necker, and the Rhine , confequently with the rivers an canali both id the' North and South of France.—. Venice is to recover the commercial fplendour fhe poffeffed, when the wealth of the Eaft flowed into' her port by the channel above mentioned. NaroLson, it is laid, has promifed the KING of WiiTPNALIA, that he will &only fee bales of India goods tranfported from Bawls to Hamburgh, by inland navigation and the manufadures of Europe are to find their way to Hindollan in the fame -manner. But this is not the road that thefe Potentates are to take, .in order to reach India. The French army are to trots the Danube, and proceed by the Crimea . to the Cafpiin Sea; tho will continue to march through the dominions of their allies the'ltalPaiis, as far * as • That able Officer, General Srettcsa,"this day fet off for BOr!fmauth, to take charge of the expedition about to flirt.

Every exertion is making to get this force tent off for the fecurity of Sieili.'• pf we may credit an inli nuation in the Moniteur, General Moots has already been forced to evacuate it, but this we hope, will prove only a rye de guerre of the enemy. Govern• ment feem,however, extremely anxious to have the reinforcements fent off. In cordequence, Come of the troops deffined for Code have been difembarked, to obtain tranfPorts fur the troops bound to Sicily. The following letter relates to this bufinefs : - • " PORTSMOUTH.

Atirabath is therefore to be their t -- I grand depot, and at that place the Ruffians are, it is laid, at prefent in confiderable farce. Though the diltance from this place to India is trifling and in a temperate latitude, yet the patfage is extremely difficult, from the Alpine fituation of the country, every thing muff be carried on the backs of camels, and the tranfport of artillery muff be ex. tremely difficult, if not impraCticable. The nature of the country is very well known to many Mat Officers in India ; and it is to be prefumed that the Government there will receive early intelligence of the advance of the enemy, and collat their force to wore him in the defiles which he muff pats. When he gets into Hindottan, the talk of refitting him will be more 'difficult, but even there he will not find the difpolition of the natives fuch as he promifes himtelf. Things are altered fince the time of Lord CAM and Mr. HASTINGS : Though we may have Come me. rules, we have alto friends, in India. If even this adventurous attempt of penetrating this way into India with an army by land fhould fug. ceed, another road mutt be found for the tray fport of merchandize, as land carriage in Co mountainous a country will be impralticable ; for this reafon no doubt the projedt of navigating the Euphrates makes a part of this enterprife ; as it would be of little ufe for the French to conquer India, if they could only bring home its produce by the Cape of Good Hope... But though the navigation of this great river was prailifed by the ancients,there are obflacles attending it at prefent that did not then exift ; and if we may judge by the projeas now Paid to be let on foot in France, of extrailing fugar ill= the yellow beet root, and preparing the chicory or endive root fo as to be ufed as a fulaflitute for coffee, they themfelves have no great faith in the fuccefs of their Indiin Expedition ; fur it is obvious that if they fhould fuc. ceed in that, they would want no fubftitutes for either fugar or coffee.
