FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. IROM THE MADRID GAZETTE. 44 MADRID, SenT. 29.—The Captain General of the Caraccas, in different difpatches, of the month of April laft, has acquainted the Generaliffimo Almi tante, with the final refult of the expedition of the rebel Miranda. He is perfuaded that the invafions undertaken againfl thofe Provinces were done with the knowledge• of the Englifh, and fapported by them ; and he believes them to be part of the plan plotted by tbat Government, which comprehended Buenos Ayres. There enterprifes were conceived at the fame time, founded on the fame bark, and exe cuted neatly at the fame epoch : and hopes were entertained of extending them to other towns, and dißarbing the general tranquillity cf America, as raay be plainly feen from what the Englifh thcmfelves circulated in their Newfpapers—from the expeditions prepared in their ports—and from the daring profef. Lions of Miranda, who, counting cn the affiltance of England. contraCted debts on the wealth of the pro. vinces of Terra Firma, which he propofed conquering. 46 The loans of many commercial houfea taffy the credit that was given to the plans cf the Rebel, whole defigns were manirefled on a 11;:ndkerchief of Englifh manufsaure, which was exhibited in the neitchbcurinz Colonies, (hewing, at the four corners of it, the portraits of Sir Home Popham, of General Beresford, cf Wa(hington, and of Miranda ; united as it were to obtain the fame end, with many rough drafts of naval viaories, and bordered with there four infcriptions it not conque . 1 I, tut union s—Lttl arts, indufiry, and commerce flourifr s—Faligion, and it: holy min fled to prottacd s—Perfons, confcience, and coma meree hkratrd. The portrait of Chritiopher Columbus filled the centre, adorned with naval infignias ; Eng lifh colours were added as naval trophies ; Nngland, as goddefs of the ftat ; the lion of Spain irt her feet ; a youth rolling up the French colouts,• and under neath the fs)lowing infcripti'.n :— . r*pt dawn of day to Anscrica. Such was the arrogant fea.urtty of our ene my, whore projefts have difappeared with refpea to thofe provinces, owing to the refiflance they met with. Thole excellent towns metivevery praife by their valonr, loyalty, and love for their Sovereign." SFPTEMBER Tlf particulars publifhed by the Englifh Government of what happened in the attack and defence of Buenos Ayres, have juft arrived : and although it cannot be prefurned that our enemies arc partial towards us, yet in the manner in which they relate it, fri th is the glory that refults from a defence which has few examples in hiftory, that for the prefent, and until sour Government receives our own official difpatches, fuffice it alone to tranflate what the Englifh fay.— The Government is convinced that all the world mull be penetrated with the refined loyalty and va lour of the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres and its worthy Chief, referring to itfelf, at a proper time, to publifh the exploits and memorable deeds performed in that great affirm."

It is underftood that the difpatches from Lifbon, received two days go, and which were dated the 16th nit. Rate that an interview was to take place in a few days after, between Lord STR AVG FORD, the Panics REGENT, and the Portuguefe Minißry, at which the fubjeit of the propofed emigration to the Brazils was to be finally dilcuffed. The Vafca de Gama, a fhip of the line, carrying 74 guns, was ready for fea, and about to proceed to the Brazils, with the young Prince DR BEIRA. Several letters from , Madrid of the 9th ult. have been received. There are completely fluent upon the fubjeet of the reported death of the King of Spars, and on the r6:11 the flatement was univerfally direr& dited at Lifbon. It is pofitively Rated, that a con• fiderable body of Spanifh troops had fet out on its snatch for Portugal, to co operate with the French army, which was proceeding againft that Kingdom. There was a report yeßerday that the French and Spaniards were meditating an attack upon Gibraltar. The HIN DOST AN, which is arrived at Portfrnonth, has brought letters from Gibraltar, from which we make the following eztraas : 0 GIBRALTAR, 0:TOBER 8, rBo7. " Since ciofing this an order from the Court of Madrid has I been put to force—to clofe all communication between the Spa- • Mat territory and this SWUM h was today confidently re ported that 13,000 French troops were expedicd at Algefiru fkortly.and that the provifions neceffary were already received.— I cannot vouch for the truth of it ; however, lomething =ft be in agitrion. My neat may probably throw a farther light on the Donnas. " The teth Foot left us on the tith of September, and are sea up the Mediterranean,fuppoled for Sicily." ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. a We yeßerday bad the unpleafant intelligence of our commu nication being ftopt with Spain. I law the letter from the Spanith General commanding the lines, We have to thank oar bitter enemy BONAPARTZ for it. Report lays, 96,000 French have en tered Spain, part for Portugal, and the ref to amufe us here. How they are to ezift, Gon knows. The barveft in Spain has been very bad, and the ne i g hbourhood has almoft entirely been lupplied with corn from Gibraltar. We lball lofe a fupply o f y e _ getabies and poultry, but they will We the principal ftaff of a Spa. D ivers life.-bread. The natives are apprehthilve of the town being bombarded.

It is, as yet, not known where or when they will be difembarked ; but probably at Ramfgate and in the River. In confequence of the above arrangements, the following reginunts march this day and to morrow, as under weft Norfolk Militia from Canterbury for Maltlftone. . .

Radiate Petitßer. German Logien Several tranfpnrts from Copenhagen*have arrived at Deptford, and begun to unioad'their cargoes in the dock yard. There are alfo kieral velfels unload ing at Woolwich. About 45 rail of detained Daniels !hips have already gone Auto Greenland Dock. A bigate, one of the' Danifb prizes, is arrived at Gravefend, with fizEnglith officers. and only fury of the River Volurrtter Fencibles, commanded by Lieu tenant Row so, 29th 50th 23d 43d 77th id The Staff, and three companies of the 2d Light Battalion of the King's German Legion , that have been at Ramfgatc all the furnmer, have received a route this morning to march to Porchefter barracks, near Portfmouth ; where it is fuppofed the remain der of the regiment will join them. The 20 acid soth Regiments marched through Dover yetterday, the former for Brabourne Lees. and the latter for Alhford. They came from Deal bar racks, which are now to be occupied by fome of the -Regiments which were at Copenhagen. General BERI3FORD, who has the military ctsm mand cf the Expedition fitting out at Cork, having been fent for by Government, arrived in town an Monday, and has fence had feveral interviews with Mini (kers. Sir Hosts Porn est had yefterday a long interview with the Lords of the Admit aity.—lt is underilood he will be employed in one of the new Expeditions fitting out in the Channel, which will be ready to fail in a few days.—Several Officers engaged in it left town this morning. Report Pays, that Lord MOIRA IS immediately to have a diftinguifhed military command. Yeßerday morning his MAJESTY, the Princeffet AUGUSTA and AMELIA, accompanied by the Hon. KIS EGERTON, General FITZROY, Count MUNSTER, and C..lonel TAYLOR, rode on horfeback in Windfor Park. and returned to the Cattle about t z Her MAJESTY and Princefs ELIZABETH walked from the Cattle to her Majefly's houfe at Froginote, and remained there during the morning; the weather being remarkably fine, they amufed themfelves with walking in thofe delightful gardens. The Princefs SoralA is much better, but not well enough to leave the Palate. Yeßerday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council af. fembled At the Foreign Office, which broke up about half after three. The only Members prefent were Earls CAMDEN and WESTMORELAND, Lords HAWKER.' BURY and Mut.csaays, and the CHANCELLOR of the EICHFQ/FR. Difpatches were yeflerday received by Govern ment from Lord COLLINGWOOD, Sir ARTHUR PA GET, and Sir HUGH DALRYMPLE, commanding at Gibraltar. A veffel arrived yefierday in the River from Emb. den, the Mailer of which reports, that at the time ht failed, all the French troops were rapidly retiring from the Pruffian States. It was confidently Rated at Embden, that thefe troops were to form part of a large army deltined to co-operate with a Ruffiaa force in the invafion of Turkey. That BONAPARTE meditates the fubvertion of the Ottoman Empire we have no doubt, but it is not very likely that part of his plan thould thus be publicly difclofed berme he had prepared the means of carrying it into execution. This enterprize, as we have already obfeived, may be expelled to take place about the time when Bow a- PARTS vifits his Italian dominions ; and it is not im• probable that he may have already begun to draw to wards particular points the troops he willies to em ploy in this fcheme of plunder and devaßation ; but we doubt very much the truth of the French having evacuated Pruffia, for, according to the laR accounts, there were Rill demands for contributions ezilling againft Konigfberg and other places. BONAPARTE would not call his followers •too Wily from a quarter where there is Rill fomething to be got; and betides, he has troops enough for the Expedition to Turkey, without retorting to this mode of eclleding them. ------- From Halifax Papers to the 6th ult. we have ex traeled the Proceedings of a Corm Martial upon tome (cameo belonging to the Melampus, wholleferted from her while the was lying in Hampton . Roads. The Lords of the Admiralty have difpoied-of the new appointments of Maller-riggers in the dock-yards, in the following manner : that of Chatham dockyard is given to CR k ESY, the Sunderland man; siho, in Lord DUNCAN'iglion, nailed the flag to the watt head of the Venerable ;—that of Plymouth to Wtxmor, who was boatfwain of the Viltory, in the battle off Trafalgar. We have heard of a difcutlinn which took place during the late Seflinns at the Old Bailey, between . the RECORD/1 of Lonoots and Mr. Sheriff PH relative to the detention of perfons againft whom the . Grand Jury had thrown out the Bill of Indiament, and against whom there was no other fpecific or de clared charge.—Lt has hitherto been the prattice of that Court to detain fuch perfons till the Grand jury are difcharged, or till the end of the Seffions,.whic.h is often a week after the Bill has been thrown but; but the Sheriff infitled on the right of immediate difcharge, as loon as the Grand Jury have returned the Bill in open Court as not found. The praitice is juflified on the ground of expediency; but the Sheriff quoted the Conflitution, the provilions of Magna (Carta, and particularly an At of the 14th of Gloaca the Third, in which the right to an imme diate difcharge is exprefsly declared in unequivocil terms.

All I can learn is, that the belongs to BMA, in Ireland, is from Malta, and fuppofed to be laden with brimlone, etc. as the fides appeared coloured with that article, by retnning over when pumped up, as the veffel was Rated to be very leaky.

Boma and GOOD, at this harbour, a fine (loop of war, for his Majefly's fervice, pierced for 22 guns, which is preparing for fea with the utmoft difpatch. The LAUREL frigate, of 32 guns, reputed one of the fafteft failers in his Majefly's Navy, was built in the fame dock yard, as well as feveral others of a fmallei dafs, during the war, by Government contra& Mr. Boons has been upwards of 40 years famed for building loggers and cutters, fuperior to all others in failing. There craft are heft adapted for cruizing in the Channel, and, carrying from 16 to 20 flans, would be found molt eligible for fcouring the coal of the numerous French privateers that infeft it. It is to be hoped, the Board of Admiralty will caufe this fubje& to be properly inveftigated; and if an Adrhirars flag was continually flying in Portland Roads, the fcrvice would be benefited.

In the fcufile five men were killed and four wounded on board the cutter, and a great number of the enemy killed and wounded. Captain TURNER was feverely wounded in the arm.
