to :h fi at re REVOLT OF THE. PRIMAIN VIM BONAPARTEI Accounts of a most singular coMplestion *ere thil mo rning received in the City, from the French Coast, W e think them entitled to some credit, notice having ken received by a House in the City, which has been in the habit of receiving the earliest authentic accounts from the Continent. But we most be brief— The letters state, that the whole remains of the Prus sian force, to the amount of thirty thousand men, have passed over to the Russians, and demanded tb be al. lowed to fight under the banners of the Emperor AtexANDER. The intelligence, whatever may be the de g ree of credit due to it, has had the effect to cause several great purchases to be trade in the Funds. The ifosikur of the 11th inst. received in Town this morniog, contains Bokaraays's Address to the Senate, wherein he states the Prussians having gone over to the Russians, which he ascribes to the in trigues of the English. He likewise requires a levy of 300,000 Men immediately. Mr, Saws, the Messenger, arrived at three o!clock this afternoon, at Lord BAntuarr's Office, in Down ing.street, and also went to the Foreign Office, with dispatehes from the Marquis of WXLIANGTOS. In the extracts which we have given in another column, from the French Papers, will be seen some voter published in the Moniker on a Paris letter (pro. bably a fabileation) which appeared some time since in a London Paper. The note on Peace is deserving of attention t-.." If you wish to know the conditions a of it (Poste)—read the Duke of BASSANOtS Letter ed to Lord CASTLEREAGH." [Monitor.] Such hints are never thrown out at random in the Afftytiftur. The conditions stated in the Duke of BassAtto'e Letter, dated 17th April last, and pub lished in the STAR Or 15th July, were as follow " The affairs of the Peninsula, and the Two Skillet:, are the peinu of difference which appear least to admit of being adjus ted, I a authorised to propose to yoU Yn arrangeMent of them coo the following basis; " The integrity of Spain shall be guaranteed. France shall renoutice all ides of extending her domhtions beyond the Py pongees. The present Dynary shall be declared independent* and Spain shall be governed by a National Constitution of her Corte& " The independent, and Integrity of Portugal shall be also paranteed, and the House of Briganzt shall have the Sovereign authority. II The kingdom of Naples shall remain in possession of the present 11/Muth, and the kingdom of Sicily shall be guaranteed to the present family of Sicily. 4 At a lOnsequence of these stipulations, Spaish Portur..l, and Sicily, 11411 be Wacttated by the French and English land Me naval toms. " With respect to the other objects of discussion, they may narcielated upon this basis, that each power shall retain that of *bit* tie other could not deprive it by war. " lush are, Sir, the grounds of conciliation offered by his WitYarrr to his Royal Highness the PRINCE R ZOLDIT: . Our readers *ill recollect that Lord CASTLEREAGH, IR reply to the Duke's Letter, enquired what was meant by gg actual Dynasty," and that to this no an swer was ever given by the French Government.— the question still requires an answer; for this coun try Maintains, that the Spanish Dynasty continues in the person of FERDINAhD VII. and we can hardly doubt that the French Ruler meant the intrusive Lng, Josent. Indeed, within these few days, we have seen it avowed in the Monitnsr, that Spain be longs to the French Dynasty. But another and important question stands con nected with this. In what way can Europe be bene fited by a mere nothinal Peace ? No sooner was the last Peace concluded, than France contrived to make ISviitzerland and other countries integral parts of Me French empire : and the Island of Malta, but for the continued and incessant animadvers lons which ap peared in the columns of the STAR, would soon have shared the same fate. Strange assertion! some rea ders may be inclined to say ; but we assert the fact ; nor will any who were then in the habit of perusing our columns and marking the progress of public events question its correctness. it was remarked by one of our Statesmen, at the camiencement of the present war, that by the short lived peace we had lost advantages which it would requite three years to recover; and, in Net, it took of five years, and extra expenditure ofmany to put ourselves in circumstances equally igeous to those which we abandoned at the :ion of the last war. :oncluded in a hostile mind, is never of ad !it to the enemy, and something like a real position ; something like moderation should by the foe before he be allowed to better !instances, by suspending the pressure that to hint at conciliation. liable Lady DE CLIFFORD, under whose ma .e her Royal Highness the Princess CHAR spent so many years, has resigned her Inte. charge.

The American Privateers are swarming here, there are at least three privateers to one vessel of war on this station. The privateers are well armed, and powerfully manned, and as the season advances, they will, no doubt, be still more numerous. They lay to with their foresails bulled up on their weather beam, and allow our cruizers to work up within two gun-shot of them, then haul their fore•sheet aft, and in a couple of hours are far enough to windward to lay to again. Although the privateer are so nu. imerous, only three have been taken. COVE OF CORK, JANUARY S. The Lord Cathcart transport, No. 200, arrived here on Sunday last from Castlehaven, which place she was forced into 13y stress of weather on the 28th ult. The Lord Cathcart took in a lading of flour at Que. bec, for Government, and proceeded to Halifax, whence she sailed under convoy of his Majesty's ship AFRICA, and about mid-passage, in a heavy gale, paned company with the William Pitt transport, for whose safety serious apprehensions are entertained.— The SYBILLE and her convoy, for Lisbon, &c. remain wind-bound. The transports with the Brun;wick Hussars, are to proceed, we understand, in the first instance, to Gibraltar, Whence, if not countermanded, they will proceed to Alicant. THE ARMY, • &Aar. Sanirday acid hinadat last the '7oth Regiment Marched from Stirling Castle, In two divisions, for Montrose, where they are to be joined' by a detach ment of the 78th lion Aberdeen. The regiments or Life Guards will soon renew their military services 41 the capital, having been re cruited already to their comrlete complement of men and horses. The following Is a true statement of the fact at tending the transaction, which has induced the Doke of iqoantuttnaat.Anto to tender his resignation, as Colonel of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, for the Palma %Woofs acceptance " In consequence of that corps having been or dered upon.forvign sarvice in September last, two troops were added to the establishment. And as it has been usual upon such augmentations, to considct the general claim's of the service to a share of the pro motion, one troop only was given in regimental suc cession, and the other was filled by a Captain from the half-pay establishment. But the Duke oflsloltrll BERLAND conceived, that in conformity to an alleged privilege appertaining to the corps, the Officer next in seniority to the one promoted, had also a right to the second troop, though he is only a Lieutenant of 1809 ; and also that no Gentleman could be ap pointed to a Cornetcy in the corps, unless under the recommendation of the Colonel. a It could not, however, be admitted, that the Blues bad ever enjoyed any such privilege distinct from the other regiments of the service, and his Grace thought proper to give in his resignation." RS Lai TO TILE RUSSIAN SUFFBEIRS. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, which was very numerously attended. The Loeb MAYOR observed, that the present Court had been convened by him, in consequence of a re quisition which he bad received, signed by several Members of the Court, to take into consideration the propriety of granting a sum of money, in aid of the Russian sufferers. Mr. Dame expressed his hope, that the proposition he was about to submit would meet with unanimous support. Every one would agree with him, that this was not a party question —a question of Whig or Tory principles—a question of Ministerial or Oppo sition influence ; but one of humanity, and one upon which, he had no doubt, every one of those Gentle men who were in the custom of voting differently from him, on other occasions, would now unite with him. He then proceeded to take a review of the' principal occurrences of the campaign, and to con trast the previous power and reputation of Bona parte, with his present situation. He would not detain the Court, as he was convinced no arguments were necessary to induce those who heard him to agree with him, that the tribute of acknowledgment, Which he was about to propose, was due to the bra very of the Russian army—the sufferings of the Rustiati'people—and an act of justice' to ourselves. He bed heard large sums mentioned on this occa sion ; but he would not throw obstacles in the way of the grant, by proposing a sum which would, in itself be ridiculous ; or one which, if acceded to, would prevent the Court frcm coming forward on any future occasion. He had heard £lO,OOO, and he had heard £5OOO mentioned; he himself hesitated between ACIOOO and .€2OOO, and threw himself upon the opinion of the Court.—(Cries of e2OOO from all sides.) Thus authorised, he would propose the larger sum. He concluded by moving— ,, That this Court, deeply sensible of the painful exertions and sacrifices made by the Russian Empire, and the great sufferings and distresses of that brave and loyal people, arising from the unprovoked invasion of their country by the French armies, do subscribe the sum of £2OOO, in aid of the fund for the relief of the suf fering Russian people." Mr. Qum seconded the motion. In his opinion, the present vote had two objects, policy and humanity; the proposed donation was due, as a tribute of sym pathy, from one great city, the capital of a vast and powerful empire, to the suffering inhabitants of ano ther city, which had recently been great and flourish ing also.—(Hear, hear).—Looking at the question in this point of view, he was in favour of the grant ; bat neither could he dismiss from his mind this re flection, that the Russians had also a claim on our justice, as being sufferers in the common cause of in dependence. It mattered not to him what was the internal policy of Russia ; it was sufficient to know, that the Russians were a people who would fight to the last extremity in defence of their liberties. He truted that he should be pardoned by the mover for suggesting, that, instead of the relief being forward. ed from this country in specie, it should be forwarded in such manufactured goods as would prove service able to the sufferers : thus, whilst we were assisting the suffering Russians, we should also be serving our own manufacturers. He concluded by expressing his hopes, that whatever difference of opinion might exist on other subjects amongst them, yet that the present vote would pass as unanimously in the Cor poration of London, as the opposition to the French armies had been in the plains of Russia.—(Hear, /dear). Mr. DIXON observed, that immediate aid was re quired by the Russians ; and the quickest mode of affording it would be, to remit the amount of what they might vote to Lord Cathcart, to be by his Lordship placed in the hands of persons who would see it properly appropriated. If sent in manufac tured articles, it could not reach them before the. middle of summer. Mr. J ACKS was also of opinion, that it would be impolitic to send out manufactured goods to Russia. He also warmly supported the motion. Mr. GRIFFITHS hoped, that this volt: would pass unanimously, and that it would prove a stimulus to the rest of the country. Mr. WAITIIMAN did not mean to oppose this pm position, now it was brought forward ; but, had no such subject been agitated, he should not have thought we were called on to exercise our liberality on the present occasion. We were not at all indebted to the liberality of the Russians—it was not our interests, but their own, which they had sought to promote.-- They had certainly made a brave stand ; but they had made it for themselves, and, by that stand, they had given us a useful lesson.
