It is thought that, if true, the intelligence might have been received fnoner from other quarters than from Mate. The laft difpatches from Lord C 0... LINGWOPD contained no news of this kind. It may however, torn nut to be oorreff, for we know the Lord Cot.t.twowoon expelled the fleet at Cadiz lie endeavour to get out, and was chiefly occupied in watching its movements : the Ihips at Toulon, there. fore, were left at comparative liberty--their force, however, cannot be great. Some very interesting intelligence has alto been received from,Sirain by the Lifboa Mail. It is (aid that the tomtit of the French arms in Germany bit excited gong alarm at the Court of Madrid, which, calculating upon a different relalt, had concluded i keret treaty with Kuala, and was preparing to throw off the Gallic yoke. Bo , it kerns, was in. (dented of the proceedings of the Spanifh Govern. ment, and, it is fuppoted, has only pretended to over. look them until he Mall find a convenient opportunity for relenting a conclat, which he will perhaps eagerly convert into a pretext for placing one of his own fa mily no the throne t,l Spain. If the above be compared with the article hoar Perpignan, of November 3, which we yeller Jay laid befit e our Readers from the Ilan:burgh papers, the intelligence is rendered high:y probable. In the ar. tide Aluded to, it is laid, that as Cron as the news of the battle rf Anerfladt an received, not a word more was heard of the great levies which were lately ordered in Spain. The infinuation thrown out cannot be mitlaken. The meaning is, tho the levies in "queltion were ordered for a very different purpote than that profeffed, and were intended to at againa the French. That the French Government enter tains this fufpicion we have little doubt, and it will food be teen that B will exereile his ven geance upon this impoteri intention, as if it had been an evert-at. We Rated tome time ago, and our atr rholity for doing to was not light, that NAroLaos had retraced to confer the Crown of Spain on one of his own family, but had not yet refolved to make room for his relative by driving the prefent poffeffor from the Throne. His threats were then direlied chiefly agaitifl the Prin , :e of Muria, as unworthy to inherit the kingdom—but now he appears to have found a caufe, real or pretended, which he will ores forward as a jußification of a fpccdy dill:off/Zion of the rightful owner. By the Lifhon Mail, letters from Spain of the :oth ult. have been received by various mercantile haufes in the City, which Rate that the Conn of Madrid had received intelligence that the Viceroy of Buenos Ayres had detetrninel to make a great effort for the recovery of tic fettlement in the pullet:Gun of our troupe- The accounts from South America Rated, that the Victim, war preparing to attack the ENO& at, the haul ni Iwo regular troops, infantry and cavalry, and Ass he was to be j:ined by moo Volunteers fru. Monte Video, and to be fupported by a amber of grin boats. We Wm, however, that there is a great deal of ezaggeration in this Ilaternent. It is by no 01,101 probable thil fuch a force, in any thing Ike aD efficient Rate, could be collated by a Government whole imbecility is to courpicuous as that of Span in Bet colonies. Betides, U the accounts thould prove true, yrs fee so reaCon to be alarmed, as we know that reinforcements have been feet hom the Cape to Buenos Ayres, and alto know how liitle cl , nce of fixed's Coch enemies would have in a conted with area a very iufer Lir force, dmnpoled of Br itifb (oldies. and Gamut. TURKS AND RUSSIANS. In the STAR of Saturday we inferted a letter frum Conliantinople, of the toth Odoher, communicated to us from the firll authority, Rating that it was ge nerally believed there that the Porte and Ruffle were on the eve of a war; and that the Ruffian Amhara dor bad at:Wally made preparations for his departute from Coneantinople, having on the 9th of Ofiriber ordered all (hips carrying the Ruffian flag, immedi ately to depart from the Turki(h ports, and recom mended to the merchants of his nation to put them fclves under the protettion of the Britilh Mirage. —After fuch intelligence, we could hardly doubt that we Gould loon receive accounts of a war having broken not between theft powers. Sivetal letters from the Mediterranean. brought by the mail of yellerday, Rate, that the Porte bar aduaily declared war againft Ruffia ; and we underhand that Official intelligence of the fad has been received by the fame conveyance. It has been long known that France was labouring to &agent a rupture between the Courts of Petetf ►urgh and the Porte ; but it could hardly have been believed that the latter would have hazarded hohi- Mies with a neighbour fo powerful, and at a time too' when her fafety Is threatened by intcftine rebellion.'

A Gentleman who arrived on Saturday from Hul• land, Rates that conliderable numbers of the Dutch troops were returning from the Army of the North, In re-occupy the camp at Zeiß. The embargo which bad been impofed on the velfels in the Dutch ports was taken off, by order of King Louis, after his ar rieal at the Hague. The Decree, which Bo Ta ligned at Berlin on the :Ili of November, had not been heard of in I•Ialland on the 27th, when this Gentleman failed. We ate, thetefore, as yet unac quainted with the impreffion that extrautdinary men.• pre has made on the Dutch. Regulations which fo completely filth up all the channels of trade, mull be viewed with horror in a ennritry that ezifts only by ,commerce. We are, therefore, perfuaded that the 'decree will not be Co firidly enforced in Holland as in the Hank towns. In fat), if B proceed `en execute his meafurt to its full eater?, he will from And that he has made a great mißake, and that while he has been dreaming of blockading the BritiOs Mee, •he has only been able to blockade the commerce of she Continent. It has been Rated that Minifters in. tend to adopt tome very vigorous meafures in con fecotence this violent ad of Bo AAAAA re. DENMARK. The report of Mr. THORNTON'S arrival, we under. (land, is erroneous. He was, according to the left accounts, at Keil, in Ho!Rein. Considerable feats were entertained that this Province, belonging to Denmark, would be feized by the enemy ; and, in deed, if LIONAPA.TV, according to his proclamation, confiders all who trade with the Englilh as accom. plices in the crimes he imputes to them, he probably will not fcruple to deprive the Danes of the means of offending. The Ranger sthieb anieed in the Frith of Forth on Wednefday from the Elba, has brought accounts, which teem to give fomc countenance to the fears en tertained refpating the patt which Denmark may have been induced to 28 in confequence of the ap• proach of fo dangerous a neighbour as Bo She Bates that the Eliza and other reticle, which fail ed from the Frith 4vith goods for Tonningen, ever not fefercd to !and them, and were obliged to return.
