AfvfERIC& The aeeounts from the United Steck trougilt by the Princess Mary froth New York, are now known to be of a less decisive 'character than was reported yesterday morning. The dispatches received by Go vernment on this occasion are, however, believed to be important, as it is-evident that a great change of sentiment !'as taken place in America respecting the conduct of the belligerents. At the time at which the Princess Mary sailed, it was reported at New York, that the dispatches sent by her materially affected the interests both of the Most Excellent Sir—Your Excellency's express of Republic and Great Britain, and that the Congress February 28, communicated to me the urgent motives would be immediately assembled, to decide on mat which induced you to create a Superior Junta of Go- tors of serious consequence. We have the satisfaction vernm ent for the defence of Spain, and subsequently to learn, that the information received from our Mi. a Supreme Junta , and a Regency convoked in the nister is considered favanrable and conciliatory to Isle of Leon in the nam e of our b elo v ed Monarch this country, but we believe that those who expect Ferdinand VII. as he is endearingly termed in your that war is declared by the United States against Excellency s Proclamation.

They contain an account of another action on the coast of Sicily be tween the Italian and English gun-boats, in which the former are said to have been, as usual, victorious. Yesterday being the Princess AMELIA'S birth-day, it was kept at Windsor by their MAJESTIES and Royal Family ; all the Royal Brothers arrived there to con gratulate her Royal Highness on the day. Her Royal Highness is a little better. The Prince of WALrhs, Dukes of YORK, CLARENCE, SUSS=, KENT, CAM BRIDGE, and CUMBERLAND, visited her ; also her Royal Sisters, Princesses SOPHIA, AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, and MART. - - - Several sail of the line have been ordered to be im mediately fitted out at Plymouth, to reinforce our fleet off the Texel, the naval preparations of the enemy in that harbour being carried on with so much activity, and on a scale of such magnitude, as to demand serious attention. It is probable that orders. similar to those received at Plymouth have been trans mitted to the other Dock-Yards. On Monday night the press-gangs were extremely active in Plymouth dock, and picked up a number of idlers, who may be rendered extremely useful. Yesterday a Deputation of Merchants waited on the Board of Trade, for the purpose of learning the determination of Goverment respecting various re presentations that had been made to k on the subject of a commercial intercourse with France. In the li cences, under the sanction of which the very limited trade with that country has been for some time car ried on, the importation of wines and brandies has been totally prohibited. Government, however, has professed a disposition to relax in some degree, the severity of this regulation. It was yesterday notified to the above-mentioned Deputation, that the mer- chants would be allowed to trade with France upon the following conditions : That if France would agree to admit. one-third of . the tonnage of vessels from England in colonial pro duce, British manufactures, or East India goods, Go vernment would permit such British vessels to import one-third of their return cargoes in wine, (brandies are prohibited as before) and the remainder in grain, flour, &c. Ministers, it is understood, have had no communica tion whatever on this subject with the French Govern ment. The merit of the plan and suggestion rests entirely with the Merchants ; who are certainly en titled to great praise, if they can carry it into effect. Such an arrangement appears to offer great and mu tual advantages to both countries ; but we have our doubts whether Napoleon will so far depart from his system of commercial annoyance as to consent to it. He would have no objection, perhaps, to lighten the pressure on the trade of France, but he cannot bear that England should participate in the benefit. ZARA, JUNE 22. A few days ago, two English frigates, together car- Tying 90 guns, were met by an Italian flotilla, consis ting of two gun-boats and a small vessel, r.eat the little island of Pontadura, in the vicinity of Nona. — An engagement very honourable to the Italian flotilla was the consequence. The Commandant, after hav ing for a long time maintained the conflict. with the enemy, was obliged to yield to so superior a force, and retired into the road of that island, which is with out defence. He valiantly sustained the cross fire of the English, sunk three of their long-boats which they sent towards the coast, and broke a mast of one of their frigates. At last, finding there was no hopes of saving the vessels, he landed the crews and set fire to them. The frigates, too much damaged to land men and attack the crews, were compelled to sh eer off: they directed their course towards the coast of Sicily. La NYI'4IPHE frigate, in passing up Channel on Mon day, landed two Officers with 'dispatches from Por tugal. They reached town yesterday afternoon.—The EPIIORA brig of war has arrived at Plymouth, also with dispatches' from Lisbon, which were received in town this day. The private letters and printed journals from thence are one day later, but they bring no intelligence of particular importance. So late as the 26th ult. there had been. no general action between Lord WaLunci von and the French. The following is an extract from one of the private letters : " LISBON, JULY 24. " The last letters from the army are up to the 241. but they contain as little news as ever. We do not hear of any important movement on either side. Se veral Officers of the Commissariat have visited Lis bon for the purpose of making some new regulations for forwarding supplies. Provisions of every kind are plentiful. Report mentions, that 200 French were taken prisoners on the 20th ult. by a body of light horse. They were a reconnoitring party, and ap proached too near our pickets. We do not hear of any loss on our side. We are ignorant of what will become either of us or of Portugal." Dispatches have likewise been this day received by Government from the West-Indies, brought by the ittwits sloop awn. NAVAL INT.ELLIGENtE. • FALMOUTH, AUGUST S.

Several sail of the line are ordered to be fitted im mediately, to reinforce our fleet off the Tezel. Pas sed by la NYMPUE frigate ; she landed two Officers with dispatches from Portugal, who set off for town. This morning arrived the HAWK sloop of war from the West Indies ; the EPIIORA brig of war from Lis bon ; the EsPEL(;LE sloop from Torbay ; and the Hs ttcov brig of war from a cruize. Sailed the SNAP PER schooner for Basque Roads ; the CHEERLY gun. brig, with nine transports full of German deserters and French, prisoners, for Portsmouth ; and the te- DEAVoUIt brig with a convoy for Swansea. ►Sir ROBERT CALDER. our Commander in Chief, this day changed his flag, in consequence of the late promotion, from Vice Admiral of the Blue, to Ad. Miral of the Red, and was saluted by all the ships in port. Admiral BULL ER also changed his flag from Rear Admiral of the Blue, Rear of the Red. The press-gangs were extremely active in this town and Plymouth Dock last night, and picked up a number of useful idlers, for the Navy. PORTSMOUTII, AUGUST 7.

TORBAY, AUGUST S. This morning a brig off the Berry not answering the signals, was supposed to be a French brig ; the men at the Berry immediately fired at her, but I be lieve did not hurt her ; two vessels from the Biy, a King's schooner and a cutter went alter her ; the re sult is not yet known.

Sailed the Ross, Barclay, for Jamaica; George, Duke, for Rio Janeiro ; and the Mary, Butcher, for Gibraltar. DUBLIN, AUGUST 4. We are glad to find that credit is beginning 0 re sume a good deal of its lost confidence ; the private bank, rs are becoming more liberal in theitediscounts ; our funds are rising progressively ; and, above all, the shuttle in the Liberty, from the laudable exertions of every class, is beginning to fly with redoubled ve: locity ; added to this, we have the satisfaction to con template the peaceable state ot the country, and the news from all quarters ot an abundant barvel. On the last day of the Commission of Oyer and Terminer, informations were sworn in Court, by Mr. JEFFERIES, to ground an indictment for polygamy against a Lady of Fashion. Mr. Goers, on the part of the Lady, moved, 4" l ' hat this indictment be sent up to the Grand Jury forthwith." Mr. M`NALLY opposed this ; he said the Lady was not bound to appear until the ensuing Commission, and the Crown could not be ready at such short notice. They hid not determined yet whether she would be tried in Dublin, where she was apprehended, or in the coun • try, where her second marriage was allrdged to have been solemnized. The motion was refused, and the trial stands over. The Spanish sheep which arrived at Plymouth, within these few days (upwards of 4.000) are in a very sickly state ; great numbers of them have died, and it is feared that very few will ultimately be pre served. Several shepherds, and a great number of Spanish dogs, have also come over with them. The accounts received in town within these few days respecting the Earl of BERKELEY'S health, are rather unfavourable ; no alteration for the better hav ing lately taken place. HAYMARICET THEATRE.--A Burlesque Tragic Opera, in one act, entitled Bombast:: Furies°, was presented to the audience last night, at this Theatre, for the first time, and was received with considerable applause. It is very much in the style of Tom Thumb , to which it bears a near affinity. The burlesque is et tremely well kept up, and the mock-heroic ably sus tained. One or two points in it are rather too close an imitation of TonsThunsh, but there is sufficient variety to give it a new turn. Much depended upon the actors, and they did ample justice to it. After the curtain had dropped, the question for a second repre sentation was decidedly carried in the affirmative by a large majority.
