- . onductinn of English pods on the Continent, have at last aliged the speculators to empty their magazines. —Heligoland has reverted to its primitive insignifi cance : and to save themselves from dying of hunger, theinhabitants have been forced to resume their old occupation of fishermen. There were found upon these 1-leligolanders some copies of an English Journal, hich they were probably employed to introduce upon the Continent, by some means or other. That Jour nal, in its own name, or that of the Ministers whose servile organ it is, invites Dutch and German ti.du.r men to emigrate, in order to establish themselves in England, where, it says, a number of such emigrants have already arrived, and have been successful in exercising their peaceful industry. Such a contemp tible maneeuvre for seducing the inhabitants of the - coasts of the Continent proves the difficulty which the English Admiralty feel in equipping their numerous fleets, the maintenance of which is necessary to their system of maritime tyranny. The population of England is insufficient for the supply of armaments so vast. Hence arose the necessity for her violating the 'neutrality of the Americans, and carrying off the seamen of that independent nation, as if they were vile slaves. At present, America, sensible to the voice of ho nour, is no longer disposed to tolerate so crying an abuse. Next, the most high' Admiralty attempts to dims '' to , the the men ' press of a which, ret f►as proved, that far many months past, rio fisherman, no inhabitant of the coast from the Texel to the Elbe, has been so infatuated as to exchange a tranquil live lihood in his own country, for the harsh slavery in which the English seamen live. It is possible that s.me English crimps have gone off, to avoid the yen geanee of the law. These are doubtless the fishermen whom the English journal pretends to have seen ar tire in England. Certainly, fishermen of such a sort are in the right to fly from a coast, where death awaits them, as the only fruit of their disgraceful industry. SPANISH COLONIES. ~- ~`Pqn tV.,Eli4gti-.0411. .

We have had latterly occasional arrivals from the coast, but which, from the difficulty of learning what is going on in the interior, bring nothing satisfactory. —All accounts agree in stating, that the public mind is much averse to the conscription. Davoust arrived at Cuxhaven, from Hamburgb, a few days ago, and ordered the greater part of the garrison stationed there to Hamburgh, to suppress the murmurs which I the enforcing that law had excited in that city. - • ts.anxious to have placed more immediately under ,his controul. To this report, however, though brought from several quarters, we do not attach credit. The following letter, from the French coast, was received in town this morning : EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM DUNKIRK, DATED THE 27TH ULT. " On Monday night last, lit ten o'clock, his Ma jesty the Emperor and Kits passed through this town, on his way to Flushing." We have received Moniteer: and other Paris Papers to the 26th ult. They announce the departure of Bo- NAPARTZ for the coast, and, with no less formality, the removal of the King of Rome, from Compiegne to St. Cloud. Of the circumstances attending the ar- rival of BONAPARTE on the coast, namely, the brilliant - mancouvres which he caused his flotilla to perform on the 20th and 21st ult. our Readers were informed a day or two after they took place ; but the Readers of the Moniteur were totally ignorant of them so late as the 25th ; for to that date ROC a single sentence upon the subject had been published in France. The Scheldt and Tezel fleets have also been performing some evolutions. The Texel fleet, consisting of five sail of the line, is under the command of Admiral de WINTER, who is on board it. Thescheldt fleet con sists of 21 sail of the line, under Admiral MISSIESSY. From Boulogne BONAPARTE was to proceed to Hol land, and after having visited that country and in spected the preparations at Antwerp, Le was expected to proceed with his EMPRESS to Brussels. An article from Dresden, speaking of the commercial system of Russia, admits that the inconveniences of it are too much felt not to make it believed that it will bechanged. —From the Peninsula there is no news in the French Papers. The execution done by the Polish Lancers in the battle of Albuera, has induced BONAPARTE to order the formation of twelve additional regiments of them. We find, by an article from Constantinople, that there has been another dreadful fire, which has reduced a considerable part of that city to ashes. As usual, the French Papers contain various attacks upon this country, in the shape of notes or observa tions upon articles of intelligence copied from the 1 English Newspapers. By the Leeward Island Mail, which arrived yester day, we have letters from Curasoa of various dam ; the most recent of the 15th of August, which bring the intelligence from the Caraccas down to a much later date than that just detailed from the Boston pa pers.

Joe, 15.—The old Spaniards .keep out of the market, as the Government were nearly enforcing their former order, of sending them all out of the town, in consequence of a report which came from the other side, that Elio was to send some launches up, with mortars, to bombard the city ; but I am happy to inform you that the confusion has subsided since the arrival of the ship John Parish, from Monte Video, who informs us that the launches were not wrong enough to bear the weight of the discharge of the mortars, and that the idea in Monte Video was, Cut they could seduce the troops of Buenos Ayres over to their cause. The army of Buenos Ayres have erected a three-gun battery upon the beach of Monte Video harbour, from whence they throw hot shot into the town ; and unless supplies are afforded from Rio -Janeiro, that city cannot hold out long, as their provi sions are nearly consumed." " RIO JANEIRO, AUGUST Ig.—We have letters from the river Plate of the 15th July of rather an unplea sant nature. The Montevidean force had appeared before Buenos Ayres, consisting of rafts, etc. and had' , actually thrown in the night between the 14th and 15th, some shells and bombs into the town. On the other hand, the Junta had 1400 men ready to set sail the first fair wind to join their army before Monte Video, which had already commenced the siege with vigour. " As the contending parties seem equally anxious to court Great Britain, no apprehensions are enter tained by English subjects for the safety of their per tons or property. We are assured from good authority, that the Portuguese army of 5 or 6000 men, which marched about sixteen days ago for Monte Video, intend taking possession of the town in the name of Ferdinand VII. and it is said, that Governor Elio has assented to the arrangement. " ANOTHER, sAsit Darr.—The Buenos Ayres troops are bombarding Monte Video, and the flotilla was re turning the compliment off Buenos Ayres, by our last advises. War appears to have commenced there with as much violence as in any other part of the world. " A rumour prevails, that 7000 Portuguese troops bad marched froth Rio Grande to the assistance of Monte Video ; arid, we believe, that the report is cor rect, as we were before apprized that a considerable Throe was collected in that neighbourhood. " Admiral 15e Courcy purposes sailing for Monte Video on Sunday the 18th instant. His object is not made known, bat there is reason to suppose that he has particular instructions from his Government adapted to the present situation of affairs. • OFFICIAL. " Governor Elio has seat a flag of truce to Buenos Ayres, proposing an Armistice, and to resign his cha racter of Viceroy, retaining merely his rank of Go vernor of Monte Video, cm condition, that the Junta of Buenos Ayres should withdraw their troops fl-onr before Monte Video, and abstain from all revolu tionary proceedings until the determination of the Cortes in Spain, as to the present posture of affairs, should be mai s e known. " The answer returned by the Junta, is published in a Gazette at Buenos Ayres, and contains the fol lowing propositions : " 1. That the peopicuf Monte Video recoznising the Superior Government of the Capital, and of the United Province', shall be restored to the full enjoyment of their ancient union,, com merce, and other relations, In the same degree as they are pos sessed by the said Provinces.
