Kellerman had not collected his di vision in Benevente, nor made any movement. The French on the side of Asturias, after having pillaged Caitropol, retreated into the interior of the country.

By this conveyance we have received letters and printed journals to the 29th ult. At the date of the latest accounts from the Army, no event of a decisive nature had taken place, but every thing seemed to indicate that a dreadful con flict was at no great distance, unless it be prevented by skilful and labor:ous manoeuvres.

This intelligence we consider as extremely probable—indeed we have no doubt that his Lord ship has actually retreated. For other particulars we must refer our Readers to the following extracts from letters and printed jour nals: PRIVATE LETTER. " LISBON, JULY 2(3. tic We have no news from the army later than to the 234 of this month, when none of the positions had • been altered ; but we heard this morning a report, though no precise foundation was pointed out, that a retreat was in contemplation from Alverche, 'the pre sent head-quarters. I do not believe the rumour myself, but there are many that do, and begin to think the country altogether lost.

The rear gi tard of the division of Regnier left Truz illo i.n .he night of the 17th, passed the Tagus at Al ai .r.is. On the 18th, the corps which it had placed in Caceres and Montanehi, which likewise crossed the Tagus the same day, took the road to Calcada de Oupeza, which the artillery and a part of the troops that had entered, had already left for Talavera de 14 Reyna, saying that they were going to Madrid. The enemy has left no troops in Al maraz, and they ha‘, rt ndered useless the boats by which they passed.

The co ...ces to which it must lead can not be easily coneeived by the human mind. From a Gentlem.in who left Buenos Ayres by the last packet, we understand, that, prior to the recent Revolution on the shores of La Plata, a proposal had been made by the Spaniards, no doubt to distract the councils of the friends of independence, to offer the sovereignty of that territory to the Princess of Pon- TIMAL, resident at Rio Janeiro, but the stlggestion was rejected with indignation. This Princess is heiress to the throne of Spain, in the event of the demise of her brother FERDINAND VII. The Deputies from the newly erected Government of the Caraccas, who arrived here some time ago, arc about to return home. We understand they leave this country perfectly satisfied with the reception they have met with from Government, and the resr;t of the negotiation, into which they were instructed to enter, which was conducted on their part in the name of FERDINAND VII. subject to the approval of th , 2 Coun cil of Regency, established at Cadiz. It is expected that some commercial facilities, very advantageous to the Caraccas and this country, will result from the dis cussionsbetween these Deputies and the Government. NATAL INTELLIGENCE.

In the STAR of Thursday we mentioned, on the authority of a Gentleman lately from Paris, a rumour very prevalent in France, that NAPOLEON intended to assign the Kingdom of Sweden to a new Monarch. This fact, it seems, is no secret at Stodcholm. A gentleman from that city, and who reached London yesterday, states, that previous to his departure an intimation had been given that the French Emperor had determined not to wait the demise of the present King of SWEDEN, but immediately to place one of his own vassals on the throne of that country. This in_ telligence had produced a very strong sensation, and it was presumed mischief would have ensued, had not the populace been overawed by the military. The soldiery occupied all the public buildings, and no per son was allowed to bear arms, or even to have them in his possession, without a special licence. The infirm CHARLES had never shewn himself openly since the affair of the 20th of June. He was suspected of being in the interest of NAPOLEON, and he feared a general insurrection of the people to wrest the sceptre from his feeble grasp. Couriers were con tinually passing between Stockholm and Paris, but the contents of the dispatches were kept a profound se cret. One of these Messengers, near the capital, not being attended by a sufficient guard, had been plun dered of his official papers, which had been burnt, after some severe treatment of the bearer. His MAJESTY took his usual morning airing yes terday morning on horseback, in Win(lsm- Park, ac companied by the Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, Lord S:. HELEN'S, Lady COLYEAR, Generals FITZ.

He was accompanie Ito town by n officer of the navy. •Fitim his dress he Ippcars to have been a cavalry officer ; a cap similar to those worn by our dragoons, a sHrt blue jacket and pan taloons, the whole of which are covered with a pro lusion of broad gol.l lace. He is about five feet ten metes high, stout, well made, and is apparently about 35 years of age. We are no doubt very much obliged to these gen tlemen who so Itharally conti;hute to expose tie moral as well as plitical character of BONAPARTE and his Court ; but although we would not wish to throw a suspicion on their veracity, nor to question their attachment to this country, yet we may be allowed to re mark, that they never make any of these wonderful dis coveries while it is for their interest to conceal them ; and never favour us with a visit here until it has be come unsafe for them to remain airy where else.— Such convert: from French poi tics and French prin ciples may be sincere, but the circumstances of their cenversiou are such as to make us a little cautious.

The undertakers of the intended new tunnel under the upper part of Highgate-hill, have already paid £16,000 out of R 40,000 originally subscribed, for two houses and the land attached to them. It is, therefore, evident, that if they do not successfully get through the hill, they will completely get through their money. The work of the intended tunnel under Highgate. hill has commenced, but, when completed, it will not save more than 100 yards in distance, or more than 370 yards of the ascent of the upper part pf the hill. A barrel, containing 4110 guineas, was seized a few days since, on board an outward-bound vessel, by a Custom-house officer.
