The Messenger t rrived at the Foreign Office late on Saturday even ing, but the mail has been sent round with the packet, is it is presumed, to Falmouth, for it has not yet ,:lched the Post-Office. In the mean time, we refer Or Readers to the intelligence from Lisbon, inserted in the preceding page. Letters from Caen, in Normandy, of the 25th ult. , state, that great expectations were entertained throughout I'rance of a General Peace. Count ' fiTAHREMBERG is also said to be on his War to this country from Vienna, as the bearer of the offers which are to conciliate Russia and England. It is only ne cessary to mention these proposals to slttw their utter inadequacy to the grand object wbichithe French and Austrian Cabinets profess to have iii view. BONA PARTE is willing to admit the Vistula to be the sou thern boundary of the Russian Empire—to grant•an iudeuinity to the Duke of OLDENBURG for the seizure of his territories ; and, finally, to permit Russia to hold a commercial intercourse with England—ad :nimble condescension I That proposals have been made by BONAPARTE for a general pacification, we have no doubt, and if they are not precisely in the above terms, that they are equally extravagant we are also confident. His object is not Peace ! Tt is war, eternal, unmitigated war, by which he supports his existence ! The delay, therefore, of a few months, consumed in the daily passing of Couriers to and from Paris, Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and probably London, will enable him to " turn himself round" and make another desperate effort against the rising independence of Europe. In the mean time he is summoning around him all the troops which can be spared froni the departments, and issuing Commercial Licences in profusion for the supply of his exhausted Treasury. He cannot surely expect that Russia will accede to his unprincipled proposal of merging the whole of East Prussia and Poland (so lately regenerated) into the Russian Empire, or accept of an Indemnity for the Duke of OLDENBURG, which must be made up from the robberies committed on some other degraded Sovereign. His permission to Russia to carry on trade with England is indeed a most magnanimous boon t He forgets, however, that the unparalleled successes of the Russians have made them masters aot only of their own harbours, but of those of the whole of the Baltic ; and he treats with equal indif ferent& the solemn declaration of ALEXANDER, that the present is not a war of territory, of animosity, or of selfish policy on his part, but a magnanimous effort to restore the balance of power in Europe, an d to place it on a basis from which it never can be Aitken ! We have no doubt that the Ministers of Russia and England are fully upon their guard against all insidious attempts to suspend the destinies of the Great NAPOLEON, which seem now irrevocably fixed ! His ruin is inevitable, if Russia preserves the formidable attitude in which her successes have placed her. WINDSOR, J2INMIRT 31.

A Gentleman has reached Town, wlio was at% board the Scheldt Fleet about a Month ago. He states, that the ships are tolerably well manned, chiefly nith Danes and Swedes, but that the vessels having been originally built of green .MaterialS, Mei are all mouldering away with the dry rot; and ate, of course, very ill calculated to imp thc sea, much less to stand a severe action. - ------- Thursday last a Court-Martial was held on board' his Majesty's ship SALVADOR DEL MuNno, the flag ship, in Hamoaze, for the trial of Captain TEMPLE. of his Majesty's frigate Arocins, of Mr.Niermast o ' Master of the said frigate, and of AI:DRE BERNIER, l'iiot, for running ashore on the night of the 16th on St. Jaque's Point, Quiberon Bay (see Sratt26th ult.), when, after a long invcstigation, Captain TEMPLE was sentenced to be reprimanded and admol nished, the Master to be disrated from his ship, and to serve for one year in one of a lower rate, and the Pilot to be mulcted of all his pay, and to be impri• soned two months in the Marshalsea. • Though the sentence of the Pilot is severe in oonsequence of his neglecting to si sue Me lead," yet it is generally under. stood that it is owing to his great address that the French did not fire on the AMIDE when on shine, at he completely deceived them as to her being an Eng lish frigate, and contrived during nine harm to keep them in this delusion, although the ene62y had threat ened several times to fire if a boat was sot" sent on shore. Friday a Court Martial was assembled on board the GLADIATOR for trial of Captain URRY JOMNSON t his Officers, and ship's company, for the loss of his Majesty's ship AVENGER, on the Bth of October, in, the Narrows of St. John's Harbour, Newfoundland: She was running in from sea, with a fair wind, and , close to the North side, to avoid the Panecasta Rock when a sudden flow of wind nearly stopped her way, by which, with the strong current setting out she was thrown on shore close to the Chain Rock. Every effort was made to haul her off, assisted by the Cap tains and ships' companies of the COMET, }WAR% NIMROD, and ADoNts ; but, by nine o'clock the fol. lowing morning, she was wholly under water, except- Ling the larboard bulwark ; and in that state, by the advice of the Captains of die ships named, she was abandoned. The Court hereupon agreed, that under all the circumstances attending the attempt to enter the Harbour of St: John's, and the subsequent loss of his Majesty's said sloop AVENGER, there was no blame imputable to the said Captain User JOHNSON, her Commander, his Officers, and ship's company, and did adjudge them all to be acquitted--Itear ral HAffoood, President. Saturday morning Mr. J. Hunt, Purser of his Majesty's ship FYLLA, was tried by a Court Martial at Portsmouth, for inattention and neglect of duty. He was sentenced to be severely reprimanded.
