FLAG OF TItUCE F FRANCE. y es terday morning a Flag *'ruce arrived of rover, with dispatches. which • , since reached London. The receipt of this intellielbe this morn ing had a visible effect upon the Funds, which our leaders will see by our• list have somewhat advanced, Frem this it may be presumed, that the general impression was, that the dispatches might be considered as tending tolead some proposal for pacific negotiations ; but of the nature of their real contents Sot a single word has bees suffered to transpire from the Government Offices. We have only to remark, that before NAPOLOON proceeded on his last hostile excursion into Germany, proposals of peace were made to this country.— This is his uniform practice, that he may have an additional topic for declamation against England.— We may infer from this, that a war with Russia is finally determined upon, and we may expect to hear in a day or two of BONAPARTE'S departure to join " DOVER, APRIL 19. * A Flag of Truce arrived off here this morning from the French coast, and sailed again this after noon. The Officer who brought it was not permitted to land, but his dispatch was put on board one of tor gun-brigs, from whence it was sent on shore to or Regulating Captain, and by him immediately Irwarded to the Admiral at Deal, who sent off an apress with it in a postchaise-and-four for London." FROM ANOTHER-CORRESPONDENT. " DOVER, APRIL 19. " A Flag of Truce arrived in our Roads this day st noon, from Calais, haying on board an Officer eased with dispatches, which he was to deliver to de Commander of any of our cruizers he might fall in with ; several of them were at anchor in our roads the arrival of the French boat, and Captain TWEE, of the Isomer sloop, boarded her, and took the Officer, with his dispatches, on board the sloop ; and soon after Captain FRASER came on shore, and et off to London express with the dispatches. The boat has returned back to Calais. Various conjec tures are as usual circulating about, as to the motive of the enemy's sending over the Flag of Truce, but nothing certain can be learnt. We have received Boston and other American Papers to the 7th of March : they bring down the proceedings of Congress to the 27th February. The Bill authorising a loan of eleven millions of dollars, ba% been passed. Mr. RANDOLPH made a most elo quent aqd forcible appeal to the good sense of the House in favour of pacific measures. The following is a sketch of his admirable speech : " He deprecated the dreadful consequences of proposed war. He asked of the Home, what new cause of war is there, that has alt 'Altai for many years? What since Mr. Madison's mas a= to the chief nsagietracy What dote Mr. Munroe's return from London ? Why is the nation to be dragged from her rueful mooring, into the tempestuous sea of blood T The idea of war is a wanton one. It is enough to call down upon us the damning, of that Being, who rules the universe. It is true we experience evils, and what nation or individual is exempt from evils Notwithstanding this, we are the happiest people Fader the son. ' 1 He said, his heart dckens at the prospect before us. We =mot divine et penetrate the thick veil which hides the future, but we tray fudge correctly as to the past. If we were to go around to the fanner, the planter, or the manufacturer, what would either of them ray, if we were to ask them which they would refer, a state of war for eighteen months, a part of our citizens bleeding upon the plains of Abraham, an excise, a salt-vas, and other odious taxes—or the peace which we have had, with the privilege we haVe enjoyed of reUing, at a generous price, our reheat and other productions, to feed the armies who are con tattling upon the bloody arena of the Peninsula. We have, in dLesi. had privations. The most severe ones are, however, dour own indicting. Our Treasury, to be sure, is empty ; but it is the consequence of our own acts. Your remedy is to repeal your Nov-importation Act, and put the two belligerents upon err equal footing in fact —not in words only, but in deeds. If the spirit we bare manifested is reprehensible in an individual, how' muds more so in a nation ? Will . you go to war in a sullen MU.. askanted—half reluctant ? The public pulse, I assure you, must be w roug h t up with some other tune, before the court. lrt will be ripe for war. "If tinder the wisdom and virtue which have consroule4 our 'litanies for 20 years, we bare not b een o bli ge d to enter i nto War—if, und er Mr. Jefferson, the idol of one party—if under Mr. Adams. the idol of another —and if, under Mr. Washington, the • kW (4 both, we have avoided it, I pray you to consider, under what auspices we engage in it now ?--What is your chance ? Being the weak party, in case of pacificadon between England ald France, are you sure, if you should conquer Canada, that you still sot be obliged to relinquish it to England, and the Florida, to France ?—Or will you be so unwise, as to confide in the dura tion of the life of the French Emperor, or what is more, attach yourselves to his cause, and be numbered among what he calls his Allies? He felt consoled, that he had not varied his opinion !he state of our affairs•for several years. He was satisfied 'rith his own consistency. The forebodings, he had made some tars since, are verified. He said, he had not come to the house this morning to say much, but to enter his protest against Ithe tin. As to tale*, he said, we might yore for them in shoals, but the people would not submit to them long. " He did not mean, that they would rebel against them ; but, 1 " ihoked Gen, they were the lawgivers of the country, mad they Will sow exe.tise their power and metal the law." • " PROM WASHINGTON, FEIBRUAIIV 21.. • " Since my last, there has been very little business done in Congress. The dispatches, by the Constitu tion, have arrived ; but not yet dislosed to the pub lic. It has however leaked out, that they are not imPortAnt, or definite on any of the points of rence between the two countries. Some few vessels and cargoe s have been delivered up, under various circumstances ; but no repeal of the Decree: has taxes Place , nor has Mr. larl ow ejected any Treaty with the Engtetvr.6o touch for the loug looked for dispatches." itELIGOLAIM MAIL t • This m.rning a Mail arrived from Heligoland, 'but it brings little intelligence. . 4, HELIGOLAND, APRIL 15. le We have not for a considerable time been so long without any intelligence from the Continent. Some boats, which left this island about a fortnight ago, are not returned, and it is supposed must have been captured. The increased vigilance, which has been the cause of so rigorous a prohibition of the inter course with this place, proceeds from the wish of the French Government to conceal the movements made by their troops to the North.—We are without any local news." Since our last, some German Papers have arrived; also letters from the French coast to the 16th. It would be insulting our Readers to repeat all the ru mours that have been circulated in consequence. Suffice it to say that the German Papers notice the march of Frapch and Austrian troops through various districts as preparatory to the expected warfare be tween France and Russia, but they present no new fact of importance. An Aid-de-Camp of ALEXAN DER passed through Magdeburg on the 6th of March, on his return to St. Petersburgh from Paris. The private letters state, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA was 'to quit Vienna about the 16th of March, to proceed to Dresden, where he proposed to wait the arrival of BONAPARTE. The French letters mention nothing farther re specting the discussions between France and Russia, 1-or of the intended, departure of NAPOLEON for the army in the North : but letters from Holland mention that La BRIM (the Duke of Placencia) was to leave that country shortly, for the French capital : and it was thence inferred that BONAPARTE would soon quit Paris ; the presence of LE BRUN being considered re quisite during his Master's absence, for the superin tendance of the affairs of the Government at home. Most of the French troops had been withdrawn from Holland towards the approaching scene of contest. A report has been circulated since Saturday of the surrender of Badajoz. We have not been able to trace the rumour to any source. No accounts have been received by Government. Yesterday the Princess of WM.ss gave a magni ficent dinner to Messrs. WitTnnian, TIERNEY, BROUGHAIif and several other Gentlemen of' the House of dommong. On Saturday the PRINCE REGENT visited the Prin. COSS CHARLOTTE, at Warwick House. Saturday morning the Marquis of lILINTLT left town, to attend the funeral of his mother, the Du chess of GORDON. The Noble Marquis stops a day or two on his way at Kimbolton, the seat of his sister, the Duchess of MANCHESTER. Friday night, a serious affray took place in a public-1 house at Ramsgate, between some soldiers of the Leitrim Militia, and a party of sailors. One of the soldiers received a blow from a hatchet which put all end to his life. The offender, a sailor, named Mark Eurstin, has been fully committed for trial. The Loan MAYOR went on Saturday, in his private coach and six horses, preceded by a party of the Lon don Militia, and attended by the Governors of the Bethlem and Bridewell Hospitals, the two Sheriffs, Aldermen Sir J. Putnam and Sir R. C. GLYNN, and laid, at three o'clock, the first stone of the new Beth lem Hospital, on the scite of the well known public house, formerly the Dog and Duck, in St. George's Fields. The procession passed along Blackfriar's bridge, and returned along Westminster-bridge, and through Parliament-street and the Strand, to the City. The Bishop of CARLISLE was present, and as sisted at the ceremony. Sir RICHARD CARR GLYNN prefaced the business with an appropriate address, and after the stone was laid, the Chaplain of the Bridewell read a prayer composed for the occasion. COVENT-GARDEN.--On Saturday evening, SHAKES* PF.ARIeS Tragedy of King John attracted a crowded and fashionable audience, to witness the inimitable actin; of Mr. Kasonx and Mrs. SIMONS. The entre of this celebrated actress was greeted with three dis tinct rounds of applause, and throughout the evening repeated acclamations attended her acting. Mr KEDI. ass met with similar applause. Mr. CHARLES KEW. Bs.; as Faukonbridge, displayed much spirit, and was repeatedly cheered. The other characters were well sustained, and the piece went off with 'doh—Pasha Virginia followed with its usual success. Saturday morning the PORCUPINE frigate, Captain R. Er.t.urrr, and the ABUNDANCE gore-ship, sailed from Portsmouth, with a convoy for Gibraltar. The ELECTRA, Capt. GREGORY, for Newfoundland, is the only ontward-bound convoy remaining at Spithead. The BRAVEDAORRIN gun-brig has landed at Yar mouth a boat's crew of French Custom-house Officers, whom they took in the Emms : after which, they manned the Boat from the BRAVEDAGERIN, and rowed abort the River without suspicion, when they captured four vessels, laden, which were going up the River. Admiral Yowl(' will hoist his flag in a few days on board the IMPREGNAHLR, 98, Captain G. C. MAC RUSIN, and resume the command of the Scheldt fleet. The enemy are moving 17 sail of the line down the river, to Antwerp. Sir R. STRACIIAN, who ;At pre sent commands, has been recently reinforced by the THEISM DUNCAN, CHRISTIAN Vll. and VALIANT.

NAN, sailed at same time with a convoy for Cadiz. The last division of Artillery that sailed from Ply , mouth, landed at Lisbon the 28th ult. and immedi ately set forward to join the army. The Ist or King's Regiment of Dragoon Guards, commanded by Lord lizaTurrzus, now stationed ia Dublin, forms twelve troops, or four complete squadrons of heavy cavalry, an establishment un equalled by any other regiment in the kingdom. A route arrived at Windsor, on Saturday, for the Royal Horse Guards (Blues) to march this day to Leicester. On Tuesday, 70 Officers, part of the garrison of Ciudad Rodrigo, were sent off from Gosport, for Leeke, Staffordshire.

We have great pleasure ill announcing, that hi Cornwall every thing remains quiet. By the clef+ tions of Messrs. Fox and other of the princ;pal inha. bitants, a supply of Amencan flour has been pro cured, also a small cargo from Liverpool 'this supply was mdst seasonable, for, previously, a rinAle pound of flour could not be purchased at any of the retail shops. The people, as We expected, from the general s;ate of morals in that county, seem grateful for the efforts that have been made to alleviate their distresses.—ln Devonshire some degree of alarm hat been excited, particularly about Barnstaple, wh 're threatening letters had been sent to persons supposed to be possessed of corn ; Lut in this county it is etra rain that there is no scarcity, though prices of course are high, owing to the demand for other quarters Some of the iandliclders, much to their credit, aae selling potatoes to the poor at reduced prices 1 andl therefore, we expect that public tranquillity will be maintained. A Meeting of the principal inhabitants nf Taunton was held on Thursday, at the Market-house, es To take into consideration the present distressed situation of the poor, and to adopt such measures as tray ap pear best calculated to alleviate it," when a Com mittee was appointed to digest a plan for that pur pose, which we understand will be reported to an adjourned General Meeting to be held on Monday (this day). In the mean time, as anu ans of allevi ating the present pressure, and for providing for the necessary demands of the year, the gentltmen prestmt agreed, and strongly recommend to all those who have the means of procuring other art:ch-s of food titan corn, to practice the greatest economy and fru gality, in the use of every species of grain, and to abstain firm: using flat.r In pastry, and to restrict the consumption of it in all other articles than bread. Every thing was quiet at Sheffield on Thursday afternoon. Huddersfield was also in a state of quiets In the neighbourhood of Stockport, unfortunately, a spirit of turbulence continued. A letter, datld on Thursday evening, says, they had been tolerably qaiet all day, but had received alarming accounts from di* country. The weavers still assembled in great nuas.. bens, and proceeded in bodies to the houses of gentle men and farmers, from whom they extorted money and victuals Many carried arms openly. Dr. MITCHEL'S house was attacked on Wednesday night s and several bullets fired at him without any effect.— Letters of the same date represent the meeting of the Luddite:, the day before, on Cheadale Heath, to have been held, not merely with a view to the outrages which immediately ensued, but also for the purpose of arranging future operations on a lar ger scale. They were assembled by a party of wee. vers, the majority of whom had heels discarded foe misconduct. Several harangued the mob, and induced them, it is said, to elect a body of delegates to hold a second Congress." They spoke of sending depu tations to other manufacturing districts ; and in the mean time, until the strength of their fi lends could be ascertained, they counselled their audaors to a toid contests with the military, and to confine themselvts to nocturnal depredations. It is stated, that at mil meeting, which they denominated their s , First Ce.n• gress," they determined upon an immediate attack of the manufactory of Messrs. BURY and Co. but were prevented in consequence of its being guard:d by soldiers. We are concerned to state, the peace of Marta chester was again threatened on Saturday, the market day, but happily a compromise took place between the sellers and purchasers, and tranquillity was pre. served. Fos particu.ars we refer our Readers to the following letter : " MANCHESTER, APRIL is. " To-day (Saturday, Market-day), when our Po. tatoe•market, at - Shadehill, was opened, a conside. rable body of the poor spewed alarming symptoms of riot, and a strong disposition forcibly to take pos. session cf that essential article of family food. The' civil and military powers were very prompt in their protection. The calls and goadings of hunger were, however, paramount; and, rather than a net, with all its incalculable consequences in a town of this po• potation, should be hazarded, 'the parties mutually agreed to fiz upon a price that should be considered a maximum—namely, ince id of 16s. a load (2401b5.) the poor were permitted to take them at Ss. !! I in any small portions their poverty could enable them to do. The soldiery were quiet, passive, and I may say, friendly witnesses to the fulfilment cf this agree ment ; but the scene of misery that was displa)ed in the eagerness of the half-famished purch4sers (their figures and faces speaking eloquently and t•mphati. catty their lamentable situation) would have made an impression upon any heart of 86 penetrable stuff.'' •t Pe S.
