Several French veiled:, which bad been sent into Portsmouth from false information being given at sea to the detaining ships, were, upon their arrival, instantly released ; but we understand Sir EDWARD THORNBOROUGH thinks he would not be justified, under his 'present knowledge of the relative circumstances of the two countries, to suffer this ship to depart- for France,' without directions from the Lords of the Admiralty., La Bibiole is or= torts burden, and valued at 5t30,000. The smack Eliza, of Shoreham Wit. HoLlaus muter, arrived at that port on Wednesday, from Dieppe, having been on the coast of Fiance dredging for oysters. The master reports, that on Sunday af ternoon last be sent his boat, with two hands, ashore, at.* village about six miles to the westward of Dieppe, for the purpose of obtaining water; but, the men had no sooner landed than they were taken into custody and conveyed to risen, where they remained until tour o'clock the :text morning, when an order arrived from Dieppe for their release. On returning to the beach to look for their boat, thej (Guild that she had been broken to pieces, upon which they were obliged to walk to Dieppe, where they joined their vessel. The Collector of the Customs at that port, M. Le- ORANRE, informed the master of the Eliza, that his men had fallen into bad hands, and-be wondered that they had escaped with so little personal injury. About six o'clock on Wednesday evening, as the Officers of the Impress at Hall were attempting to take a seaman, by great exertion be extricated him self from their hold ; during the struggle a mob had collected together, and the press-gang were annoyed for a considerable time by them. After this, the mob assailed the house of rendezvous, the sign of the Spurn Lights, south-end; not sagsfied with breaking all the windows and doors, and pulling down part of the front wall, they proceeded into the house, and destroyed all the furniture, linen, glass, kc. the beds they tore open, acid strewed the feathers in the street; the liquors and ale •sbey drank et carried away in pitchers, dfi mr. :r The Punt& knitter's and mounted yesterday, at Bt.

Great exertions have Wen used to send off all, the disposable Military from Purtsamth Garrison, si much so that the usual Guards have been so much contracted that many of the posts round the garrison have no centinels. A large detachment of the 75th Regiment em. barked cn board the transport ship Zodiac, at Cowesi last Week, and sailed on the 24th, to join their regi. meat in Sicily. Several detachments also embarked from the same place, iu the Centurion transport, for Guernsey. A company of Sappers and Miners landed at Portsmouth on Tuesday, from New Orleans, last from the Havannalt. The Ist Battalion of the 7th Royal Fusileers, so long expected, is not yet arrived. Two companies of them are embarked in the NORGE, 74, which is coming home by the way of Jamaica. The remainder are in transports, coming direct for England. The Royal Marine Artillery, which was on march to embark at Portsmoinh for a secret service, was suddenly ordered to retrace the way to Woolwich, to embark from thence to the Netherlands. It is said that, as they are more suited to field movements, they are to replace the corps of seamen, as 'Woes= to the army in the Netherlands. MARGATE, MAY 29.—This morning arrived the Hero packet, Captain ST:.ANACU, from Ostend, which place she left last night, with many passengersaif re. spectability : and at six o'clock this morning landed from a Diver packet a Foreign Messenger, from Vienna, with dispatches. He states, that he is the bearet of intelligence confirming the defeat of MURAT. He setoff immediately for London. . RANSGATI, MAY 29.—Arrived from Ostend the Sagmel and Elizabeth transport, by which we learn that the Duchess D'AxciouLasie landed there on the. 27th inst. at night, and proceeded on to Ghent early the next morning. Although ao Government vessels are now allowed to sail for Ostend without convoy, our packets continue to run regularly to that port.— The Prompt transport has received 100 artillery-men on board. and has sailed for the Downs to join con- voy : the Scipio transport, with Staff horses and bag gage, has also sailed for the Downs to join convoy : both bound to Ostend.

ANTWERP, MAY 15.—Our town has been this day enlivened by a sight novel to the Hollanders, who were 11l attracted towards the Boom road, to see a race between two horses, the property of the .Hon. Captain FiNcti and Lieutenant HUNTER, both guar. tiered ben% The horses were rode in the Newmarket style, by grooms, in silk jackets. The match was easily won by Lieutenant Hurtren. A poney race succeeded, which afforded much more amusement than the former, it having only the resemblance of a race from the saddles and jockeys, neither horse hav ing an idea of a gallop. A tent with refreshments was liberally supplied by the Officers of the 37th.— Our garrison consists of the 25th, 37th, 81st, and three battalions of the Hanoverian landwehr. Provisions for six months, for 15,000 men, are storing up here. BRUSSELS, MAY 23.—We all still continue in the same quiet state as when we atrived here, waiting for the arrival of our Allies to the banks of the Rhine. We actually suppose operations will then commence, unless BONAPARTE cajoles us into a peace. The British army continues to receive reinforcements from England • and on the arrival of our Ameri can army, we shall have a number sufficient to act with increased vigour against the common enemy. The cavalry is numerous, consisting of sixteen Bri tish regiments. With that force, tinder the Earl of UXBRIDGE, something will be done. His merit as a cavalry officer was shewa in Sir Joux Mooaa's cam paign in Spain. The infantry is in an excellent state. Some of the first regiments are out here, and all are uncommonly healthy. A corps of 4000 of the Guards are no small advantage to that force. 'This city still continues- the bead-quarters of the Duke of , Wirmarra- TON, and of course the scene of much gaiety. • On Friday the 19th instant, two soldiers, belong ing to the 4th Garrison Battalion, at Guernsey, broke into the dwelling-house of a poor woman In that island, and most inhumanly murdered bar, by stab bing her in several parts of the body with their bayoneti. Thsy ►ere taken the next day, and one of them confessed the whole of the circumstance. The, notorious HOGENDORF, who made himself in famous by his atrocities at Hamburgh and its neigh bourhood in 1813, and who afterwards retired to Holland, his native country, has since deserted to his old master BONAPARTE. By the Mars, arrived in the Clyde from St. Croix, we understand that that valuable island was, a few days previous to her sailing, given up to the Danish Government. In consequence of the intended enlargement of the Dock-Yard, at Sheerness, it has been found necessary to take down upwards of 40 houses, situated in the High-street of that town. The houses had been built on ground belonging to Government, and were occu pied by many of the principal tradesmen of the place, who are now obliged to quit at a short notice, as the groand must be cleared by Midsummer next, preps retort' to the intended improvements. A Nobleman who has extensive estates in Sussex, l on being presented with his rent, the other day, by 'one of his tenants, -liberally deducted sixty guineas, as a remuneration for the losses he might probably have sustained froth Michaelmas to Lady-day last, in consequence of the reduced prices of grain; and generously, without solicitation, signified his inten twit of lowering his rent, for the future, at least 100 guineas a-year, a species of liberality which we re cord to his honoor, and in the hope, that an exam pie so worthy of imitation, will be followed. DRUArLAAT THLFAIRE. A new Tragedy, ...died The Fanii4. Legend, wi , last night (for the first time) reprecented at Theatre, for the benefit of Mrs. Names-. It ;i h • production of Miss JOANNA BMW!, a lady wh• eariaenetaleats.are well known to the li:erary works: To adapt the present Play for the stage it wAs nectif sary that it should be greatly shortened, and although the curtailments have been made *with nitrh ju le ment, many passages of considerable poeticAl mci it were by this means omitted. The chief 'auk the piece lies in the action. The characters want pm minence, and present bat few opportunities for an actor to display those bursts of feeling which com mand the avention and awaken the sympathy of the audience. Mrs. BARTLEY sustained the part o: the Heroine, and her exertions and distinguished taloys succeeded in giving interest and iMportan , :e to, a character greatly below. :ter powers. Mr. BARTLEv, who appeared on this occasion in tragedy, proved that tffere too be was at home. The Prologue, by Mr. WALTEIt Scorr, *as exceedingly well spktn by Mr. BAKTLEY, and Mrs. EDWIN gave to the Epi logue great point and animation. The latter was from the pen of Mr. MACKENZIE..

Green. The Lady, though scarcely 14. ye.trs of age. • is highly'accomplished, the daughter of a Gentle man who holds a high official situation in one of the British Insular POssessions. The happy pair, though flying on the wings of love, were hotly pursued the whole way; as the fair Lady's mother anda Bow- . street officer entered Carlisle about nine o'clock of the same morning, and amost immediately proceeded on the pursuit; but. by this time the havers had made some progress on their return homeivards, having returned through Carlisle within five hours of their first entering it. ADDaWDA TO THI anovz.—The late elopement from the vicinity of Berkeley-square has been happily settled, to the satisfaction of all parties. The fugitive • lovers have returned to. London. They travelled with such speed on the wings of love to Gretna Grt. en, that they only left Barneton the evening of Sunday se'onight, and arrived at Gretna Green on Tuesday morning. In Doctors' Conimons, on Saturday, a proceeding of nullity of marriage was instituted by a husband against his wife, on the grounds that the banns had been published in one chapel, and the marriage bad been solemnized in another. The Court, however. - held, that under the circumstances, this was not an invalid marriage, and dismissed the allegation ac cordingly. The operation of nose-pulling was performed upon a young Turf character in Bond-street, on Sunday, at broad noon day. When Foors introduced APREECE to the world in the ludicrous character of Cadwallader, in The Anther, a friend of that Gentleman's threatened to pull the Mimic by the nose, whenever he met him.
