The noble cause 'in which the ,Veople 'of - grin have embarked, has a natural . tendesicyto A-seasai. diversion in its dwn favour, an phie,little doubt;- 641 its in fl uence will be fllls testy .anci--in Germany. ! • .• . . The Italians are n otllatuMlly less . 'disaffected to the French than the Spaniards. The hostility whidiyre v.;ls against them, particularly in the Raritan- States and in Calabria, has been smothered, Ws not extin guished and the indignity lately practised•-up?o the Papa, by depriving him of his . temporal 'pctsrei and-. dominion, must have excited, a strong sensation in the Eastern as ivell.as in the Western Peninsula. In Germany, notwithstanding the delusion of some Governments, the forced humiliation of others, and the base-submission of all, the people breathe ven geance and fury against their oppressors, and have long been likoking forward with minus and wishful expectation ta.somefavoerable moment for throwing off the yoke. SUch an attempt was vain while the countries between the Elbe and the Vistula, were of with 174,000 armed men (the number of French troops which wertstitioned in them so late p 3 the middle of Aprti) ; but it' NA poLcor prosecutes plan of mlbjuratilig St*, a considerable propor. tion of this force must, necessarily be *ithdiA.) , .; when, in all probability p , , an im diate vent wilgise p Z t... given to the passions 0f the „ the eruptieli 4 which will be violent in OroeSrtiOnto the foregyia l''• - , ~, I which they have been compressed. A very erroneous opinion is entertained by many, that. the People of the North of . ctrermany have been completely disarmed, as well as subdued ) by the French, and that from this circumstance; even thosgh they had the will, they have not the means of effecv brig their own deliverance We have good authority fOr asserting, that almost all the light armour, both of 4. inkips and the inhallitants, remain secreted in the country. Whaler the. Courts of St. Petersburgh and Vienna ate;, yet actually disposed to hazard a new rupture with glance, we have not the means of ascertaining. On titis point the 1 reports and' Opinions are various and contradictory. Some ictounts received in the city; state, that Russia has 'actually declared war against France. It i% also .reported, that ordetslave been sent for the immediate return of Sir JouNlAooar., with ,the whole of the troops under his command, events having occurred in the North to render his assistance to Sweden needless. If we could credit the latter statement, it would incline us also to believe the for mer, but we do not think that either of them rest oa good authority. In the. city, however, the ophsiOn gains ground,that Russia, if that event has not already taken place; will bon declare against France, and, ib consequence, all -the' articles of Russian .produce Continue to fall in price—Hemp has fallen from 115 to 1001 , per ton. . Tallow has also experienced a far atm depression ; , ' . . . t Anither report current last night , stated, diat the British troops in the Baltic, which were embarking whenthe last mail came away, were to proceedhnine-11 diately to the Island of Zegand, not as enemies, but by the invitation of the Danish Government to pro . - tect ; them 'againtt the : French. This, if configned, Would prove that a treaty has been concluded by all the Northern_ powers 'against the Common enemy of Europe, but we have notbeen4ble to trace the report to its seurce. If these Coarts.liaie not cotneto an understanding, we have grounds fOr . beieving that we shall soon hear of , some important successes on the part of the Swedes. According in . several pritate letters from Gotten burgh, it appears that the Russians are Acta in very adver;e circumstar ces in Finland. Ottk letter frtim good authorit: mentions, that a Russian force of 7000 men, which has been for some time entrenched at Carlaby, is now surrounded by a _Swedish army of 11,000 men, to whom it must surrender, if onr l infor. matice . tie correct. Among- the Russian — force 10 si tuged is, we understand, several Swedish traitors, and particularly SPRIIIINGPORTEN, and some of his corn. p anions. !There have been no new arrivals from Spain since our last ; but we have seen several letters detailing the particulars of events before known CO us. Among ' others, we have seen a letter relating to the death of Marquis de SOLANO. He was, it, appears, taken by the people from his residence, with a view to convey him to the ordinary place of Public exectitinn ; tut, on the way, such rumours prevailed as deprived the. people of all patience, and the Marquis was assasinated in the public streets. He was killed by a handspike. The, people pyoposzd to slve him if he Wotad re nounce dr: French caust", and give ug any informa ' tion' he urns poPitssid of as to . the - French designi.

The Portuguese colours are again )194* at the ,fort, and the port declared open to ship; of ill nations . except the French. • An invitation was sent °fit; the commander of -an English sloop of war, inviting him to come in, but which invitation he declined ; however a salute of 21 gusts was fired by the castle, and returned by the sloop with an equal number.—The French Officers are all taken prisoners, without bloodshed. " C. xxowsutY.'' . " N. B. Colonel Bnowx, with a young Portuguese as an interpreter, was sent off oil Friday 'night to , Oporto." Instructions have been, sent to all the Ottt-ports,. l with directions to release all persons charged with dis patches from Spain, without the performance of qua rantine, and likewise that all officers are- to give every possible assistance in forwarding them to London. Similar instructions were sent off to the Lord Lieute nant of Ireland, to dispense with the performance of ' quarantine, in 'case - of any persons arriving from Spain with dispatches at the port Of Cork, and to give , them every possible assistance. On Monday the Spanish prisoners at Fortun, .to the number of 1000, were restcred tc their liberty, which ; duriu they seemed to enjoy with enthusistn.) evening,aria yesterday morning they; ivir .. amine themselves at Gosport, an& fp-the neighttur hbod, 'AI they conducted themselves :f,eaceably, gerszli with every expression of detestation of the .Vrench. Yesterday they were embarked, and imMe diately sailed in sia tra ns p orts for the Spanish coast. Lieutenant-Colonel Poymt, the nephew of 11 - .?. gallant Sir f JOHN DOYLL A Darr. and Captaiß ATKINSON, his . - Aid -du-Camp, sailed with the Sp,aniards. It is un derstood that these off cers are gone to join the two 'very able officers, Sir THOMAS 'bYRE and Major ftoAen, who lately sailed from Plymouth. It is reported that that very able and gallant officer, Lieutenant-General Sir JOiniDOYLR, Batt. the Lieu tenant-Governor Of Gnertissy,iito go as Coinfitinder in Chief to 'Spain, with the'breVet'of Dill ,Geneig. , Among the regiments under orders to embark, to aid the.

Captain. CARROLL, 88th Regiment,:srrived pester-- day morning from Ciacliester, at, Lord CASTLE- ArAon's Office, in consequence of an order from the Coinmander in Chief, and was to leave tow's in the wetling for Portsmouth, to proceed immediately to Spam, where, it is said, he is to be employed to act in an official situation with the Spanish army.. Capt. CAaaoLL wa one of the h&stages lett in South Ame rica. He is' perfectly acquainted with the Spanish language. Letters to the Sd instant were yesterday received from Holland. The Moniteur is said to contain a Senatus Consultum, by which the National Guards are called out, to supply the place of the troops of the line withdrawn from the►different Departments. It is said that, at least, 160,000 men are on their march to join the troops which BotiweAstrz had already rol -1 lccted on the Spanish frontiers. • , LIC SUBSCRIPTION Feu Tite' SPANISH PATRIOTS. Would it not tend to promote the cause in whi,:h these Patriots are engaged, if the people in this coun try were to open a general subscription for their aid ? --It is not enough, that our Government is doing every thing . ptt this moment which tl o most ardent mind could desire for the assistance ;:f the oppressed Spaniards. Every thing done by our Ministers is represented on the'. Continent as being efft. zted by corruption, in direct opposition to the views and wishes of the good people of England. The measure we have proposed would shew to the world •the true character of free-born Britons, and, added' to - the public - acts of our Govecnmentmould foil the deceptive powers of our adversaries. We cannot doubt, that if the Gentlemen at Lloyd's, who have so often taken the lead in acts of patriotic benevolence, were to set the example on the present occasion, it would be followed wit's enthusiasm throughout the whole emp:re. --- Yesterday, a Cabinet Council was held at the Se. eretary of State's Office, at which the Duke of PORT* LAND, - EaTIS CAMDEN. WESTMORLAND, BATHURST, and CHATHAM, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lords MCI: GRAVE and- HAWKESBURY, Viscount CASTLEREAGH, Mr. CANNING, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER attended.

At a meeting of the Gresham Committee, held yesterday at Mercer's Hall, the Rev: SAMUEL BIRCH, M. A. Fellow of St. John's College, •Cambridge, was unanimously elected. Geometry Lecturer of Gre sham College, vacant by the death of the Rev. KETTILBY. A new Palace, it is said, is to be erected at Croy don, by order of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, as a suitable residence for the Primate of all England. Archbishop SLCKER, to support the dignity of that high station, left considerable property for the express PurP°se• A - few days since the infant child of the Right Ho nourable Sir ARTHUR WELLEV...EY, was christened in Dublin. The Noble Sponsors on the occasion were, the Duke of RICHMOND and Earl:of HARRINGTON. The boyis named CHARLES,. after the Duke. Lieutenant NOPPS, the Commander of the Tunau- LENT gun-vessel, which we have already learnt from the Foreign Journals, was captured in the Baltic by several Danish gun-boats, after a very gallant resis t tance by its Commander, in which eight of the crew were killed, and several wounded, is arrived in town, with the information of the capture, and that the crew are prisoners of war. The late accounts from Ceylon represent that island to be perfectly tranquil—the removal of the late Adagar, who was.inimical to the English, had been followed by numerous acts, on the part of the King of Candy, expressive of cordiality and friendship. Samna is said to be dissatisfied with the late ar rangements of the Peis})wa, in con,sequence of which a rupture is apprehended. TliE ARMY. \ Capt.

The Ist and 3d regiments of Life Guards were bri. . gaded on Monday, on Wimbledon Common, prepa ratory to their being reviewed on the 14th by his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES. On Monday the Ist battalion of the $d Gua r d s was reviewed on Chatham Lines, by their Colonel his Regal Highness the Duke of Gtasoossuut, who ar rived on the groind with his suite, about half past eleven,o'clock. The troops went through all their mancetiviis with their usual exactness, and received at they deserved, the approbation of his Royal High- . ness. The day being very fine, a large and respects. ble assembly of persons was collected to witness the evolutions of the troops. Among the company, we observed Commissioner HOPE, General CA NIPBELL, and Staff, General Lawsotr, and Staff, Colonel AN. DERSON, Commandant of the Royal Marines, Sir W. W. WYNNE, Colonel .Satasstny, and mast of th e Officers of the different corps, at present stationed is the neighbourhood. The Fraserburgh Volunteers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel FRASER, of Memsie, marched into Fraserburgh on Monday se'nnight, for fourteen days permanent duty, Wednesday last, General M.DoNaLn arrived at Aberdeen from the South, to resume his command. His Ercellency on Friday reviewed the Argyleshire regiment of Militia, and was pleased to express his dpprobation of the discipline and military appearance 91 that fine regiment, The 2d battalion of the 78th (or Ross-shire High. lenders) has gone to the Isle of Wight, where they will remain till they are again filled up and fit for iervice. The Ist battalion of this regiment is corning home from Bengal. The Warwickshire Militia passed through Chat. ham, from Sunderland, in three divisions, on their trouts to Dover. The West Norfolk Militia have marched into Wood. bidge barracks. , An encampment is now forming-sot Danbury, itt Essex; the 87th, lately from Ireland, have already pitched their tents, and several others are expected. The Nottingham Militia have quitted Lewes bar- 'racks for Bletchington. They were relieved at Lewes :by the Northumberland Militia, • Last week the East Kent Milit -I marched through Brighton for Bexhill barrl - ; y, in two d visions. - The Royal North Gloucester Militia are en their route from Bletchington b_reicits to Littlehatnpton, Worthine, Bogeor, &c. The skeleton of the 85th, Sir CHARLES Asetu.'s regiment, has just arrived from the West Indies; ;when they left Jamaica, both the battalions of the 18th (or Royal Irish) were in a better state of health Ithan since their arrival in the Island, The 85th is to be quartered in Buckingham, its native county, till it recreits its numbers. The Royal York Rangers are embarked; and about to sail fi r the West Indies ; and the 13th foot pro. teed for the same quarter from Sir GEORGE Pazvoer's army. It is thought that the Buffs and 11th regi ment will proceed for the same quarter, and be re placed in Madeira by two regiments from this country- The 73d Highlanders, Colonel Mcqueasue, who lately returned from India, after a 20 years' absence, are quartered in Perth. From the high character of this regiment, it is already nearly filled up again and -- fitted fur service. Dr. 1 The accounts from India by the late arrivals are a/ much interest. By a letter from Benarrs, of the 12th of February, we learn that a banditti of 200 horses men, taking advantage of the absence pf the Briti4 and native forces which had moved to the northward to suppress DOONDEAII'S insurrection, had crossed the Chumbal, and taken possession of a strong pass in Bundlecund. They are supposed to be part of the * depredatory horde which lately ravaged the neigh bourhood of Jeypoor, and laid the country uncles' contribution. Our informant adds, that a body of troops was collecting to proceed against them. By accounts from Canton, we learn that the per• sons who had given encouragement to the Christian.* suspected of designs against the Government, - hai established their innocence, and had received the royal pardon ; those who had been banished into Taftacr• had been permitted to return home. 7 J. We have letters from Prince of Wales's. Island, which state that no more convicts are for the-present . to be sent thither from India, the docks and roads having been completed. The spice plautations, for the safety of which much apprehension had been en tertained in consequence of the late drought, are in a flourishing condition.
