Confols for ace. 65f Yefterday morning, about eight o'clock, Captain Doxemor, of the Ammer, and Major TUCltatt of the 72d regiment, arrived from South America ; the former at the Admiralty, the latter at Lord Cwt.'. 'sac H's Office, with Diipatches from Rear Admi. ral Svtammo and Brigadier General AUCHIWTY, announcing the CAPTURE OF MONTE VIDEO. About noon the Firft Lord of the Admiralty feet the following communication to the LOLD Mama : gs ADMIRALTY-OFFICE. APRIL ii. " Captain DOWELL?, of his Majefty's !hip Ardent, arri+ed this morning with difpatches from Rear-Admiral STIR Lino, tom. mending a Iquadron of his Majefty's Dips and veffels in the Rio de la Plata, dated Bth of February, which contain the fatisfa&ory intelligence of the capture of the ftrong fortrefs of Monte Video in that River, by his 64 ajeßy's forces under Brigadler-General Sir SAMUIL AUCRMITII, aided by the operations of the fquadron..;•• The landing was elicited on the 16th of January ; the Army mov ed forward on the 19th, the place was regularly invißetl, and on the 3d of February the Town and Citadel were carried by Rorm. The lots fuftained on this occaffon, is Rated by Captain Dols ILLT, who commanded the Seamen and Marines on more, to amount to about sae men." Afimilar notification was alto fent to the Loan MAYOII by Lord CASTLIREAGH I and this morning the particulars of this important capture were pub _ _ Wiled in a Gazette Extraordinary, of confiderable length, of which we have given a copy in the pre• ceding columns. This congtelt is of great value§ but has colt a very confiderable expenfe in killed and wounded, among whom are feveral Officers of difiin guifhed bravery and talents. The Spanifh force comprifed soot), betides a re terve of about 8000 under the command of the French Colonel bunts, who, in lyre:dation of his parole, bad affified in the recapture of t uenos Ayres, by the Spaniards. The affault would probably have b,cen delayed for a few days, till a more prafticable breach was made, had it not been for the approach of Li- Nlst'i force; but it you of the greaten importance to gain polfellion of the place, if poffible, before the joining of fo formidable a reinforcement. In this _ view of the matter, dear as the eonqueft has colt us, a protraCted liege would probably have colt a much greater number of lives, and might, after all, have proved ineffedlual. EAST AND WEST INDIA rLEETS. It feldom falls to our lot to announce the arrival of two valuable Convoys on the fame day, loaded with the rich produ&s of the Eaters and Weftern hemifpheres.

(Signed) CHARLIS STIRLIN.G. THE CONTINENT. Yefterday morning Lieutenant Von PETERSDORFF arrived at the Foreign Office, with difpatches from the Pruffian head quarters. He left Memel, we underhand, on the 24th ult. and arrived at Gotten burgh on the evening of the 29th, and failed the mor• nins following in the LORD Nrcsom packer. He has brought the important intelligence that the enemy was, at the date of the leen accounts from the Ruffian head quarters, retreating acrofs the Viftula, while the greater part of the Ruffian army had advanced be yond the Patiarge. Several (mart aitions had taken place between the advanced corps of the hone armies, invariably terminating to the difadvantage of thcharaffed and difpitited enemy ; but no refult of fubllantive importance had been attained. Vefterday a Swedillt Officer arrived alfo with dif patches from Malmoc, which were delivered at Mr. CANNING'S. They are not likely to add flinch to the preceding information. Letters and Papers froth Holland to the Sth Into: have been retched. They make no mention of the reported defeat of the Ruffian army on the 23d or mph ult. and we are, therefore, inclined to hope that the rumour Will prove entirely void of founda tion. A letter from Rotterdam Rates, that bet Ween 1 the IR and i yth of tall month, 37,000 French troops croffed the Vißula, to reinforce the Grand Army, and that a decree was ;trued on the loth, b. BONA PARTED at Ofterode, impofing a duty on the impor tation of certain articles of colonial produce. The neat intelligence from Conflantinople will, we fruit, announce the complete overthrow of the French , influence in that city. We mentioned, a few days ago, that Sir join Ducaworrb had failed, on the 3d of February, with a ftrong fquadron for that Capital. His force conflited of the ROYAL. GEORGE, WINDSOR Casil.l4 REPULSE D AJAR, and Ponras ; the latter bearing Sir S. SMITH'S flag. They effected a junc tion with Admiral Louts, who had under hini the CANOPUS, THUNDRRER D . and STANDARD; and the whole paired through, the Dardanelles. Intelligence his been received from Paris of the appearance Of this formidable fquadron off Conflantinople, in confe quence of which the French Ambaffador 3El)A:rums, found it neceirary to withdraw from that city. It was not, we are informed, need:try to proceed to afloat hoßility, to enfure a renewal of the cuflomary re lations. The prudence of the French Minißer, and the complaifance of the Porte, faved the Capital from the horrors of an attack. The Paris letters do not enable us to afcertain the precife date of this important event; but we have little doubt of the fait. Five Ruffian fail of the line are faid to have accom• panied the Britifh fquadron on this expedition. In the prefent Rate of Continental politics, the removal of &mamma: from Contlantinople, will be confi dered as a very great triumph overAthe enormous influence of Fr ance. Two Gottenburgh Mails Alfa arrived this morning, but they bring nothing of importance. FRENCH JOURNALS Have arrived to the 3d infant, but prefent little news A letter from Buchareft of 13th February, in one of them fays " Since the arrival of the Rufllans;in this country, feveral engagements have taken place between the advanced polls, but they are of no confequence ; the Turks always formed the attack, bue were conflantly repulfed. On the Bth inn. General Michelfon de• tached Colonels Staroviz and Virking with one fqua dron of Coffacks, two fquadron huffars, four fquadron dragoons, I too Arnauts, and one piece of ordnance, to diflodge the Turksfrom the village of Kukufutz and Megan, which were occupied by thoufand men. A fevere conflia enfued, in which the Turks bad fiv e hundred men killtd, bat in confcquence of their being ftrongly reinforced, the Ruffians were compelled to retreat." Lord GRAIIVILLI Lemon Gown has been ap. pointed to fucceed the Marquis of DOUGLAS as his Majelly's Ambalfador at the Court of St. Peteriburgh ; an appointment which will probably prove highly "acceptable to the Emperor ALIZANDaII s as it was his Lordfhip who negociated the former treaty with tilt Court. Several points of great delicacy and impor: tance require to be adjußed at this moment between the two Courts, points which will require all the expe rience and abilities of his Lordthip to bring to a favourable iffue. On Saturday Sir DAVID BAIRD arrived at Portf mouth in the Paragon tranfport, from the Cape of Good Hope ; he came in company with the India fleet, from which he parted Come days fince. A letter from Bengal, dated the 26th of November, announces that the Narrow frigate, Captain WOOD, has captured a Regifter 'hip, from Acapulco, with a million of dollars, and many other valuable articles on board. Got.. Mims ;a Ixota.—The (and of the rivers of Poniacer, Palaur, and Cargoory, in India, has long been celebrated for the quantity of gold found in it, fo abut.dant in faa, that after heavy floods, grains 1 of gold were conßantly found in the ears of paddy, on the banks of the rivers :—Reprefentations on the fubjea having recently been made to the Madras vernment, they fent Lieutenant J. WARREN to Ookotta, to Purvey that diftrift, and the refult has been the difcovery of a track about 45 miles in length, along the Yena Batterine Conda Hills, abounding .c.To with gold. An Englifh Cartel arrived at Plymouth on Friday lel, with 23 paffengers, who have been liberated from French prifons—amongli the number are From Brett—Captain Robinfon, of the Merchant Service. From Verdun—Mrs. Wilfon, of Ewer • Mrs. M‘Mullen, 1 Mrs. Robertfon and two children ; Mr.. Shields and child ; Mrs. Oman, three children, and a (errant ; Mrs. White, and Mrs. Mount and daughter. From Arras-.-Mrs. A. Knowl,of Tottenham Court Road ; and Mrs. M. Barrett, of the HotwcUs Road, Bad. Some of the paffengers report, that before they quitted Morlaix, they were fearched, and every letter or paper taken from them. The Ladies from Verdun, and Capt. Roattssow, fay, the Bens d'armes were the only foldiers they Paw on the road, all the regular troops in France having been ordered to the army. The people in France are greatly diiratisfied with BOMAPARTI ; the reverfes which he has experienced on the Viaula were frequently fpoken of, and wholly imputed to his want of condna and difcretion. The recent levy of one in feven has difgulied all ranks. There are in prifon at Arras, sooo'Britifh limners. 1 goo boys, and' 13s officers, patient's, and mailers of (hips, on their parole. The crew of the Blanche frigate were met on their route to Arras ; the officers of that chip are ordered to Viedun. M4UTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PALikkitrrli, APRIL to.
