The Britanbia hired cutter has arrived at Plymouth nn Cadiz. Bheis ender quarantine, but her letters are been fumigated and forwarded to Town, and' i probably be delivered out before our next. The counts brOught by this vessel are to the 15th inst. which time nothing of importance had occurred. We have received the Moniteur, and Journal du 1 tummy, of the 20th inst. The former contains the tech delivered by BERNADOTTE on his presentation Ithe Swedish Diet. It is of a less assuming charac. it than we should have expected. The Crown Prince 611 of professions of gratitude and filial obedience; rid has something handsome in the way of compli. tat to say to each of the Orders composing the Diet. tith the exception of one trait of adulation to NAPS -141, it keeps entirely clear of any allusions to exter. ii Powers or politics. The Paris letters, which are of two days later date, anion that NAPOLEON would proceed to the coast antt the end of this month. They also state that a Pier currency to a considerable extent was expected the issued, to supply the great scarcity of specie, oc tioncd by the heavy-remittances to various parts of Runny, to liquidate the dutiet on colonial produce. This morning some begs of letters and papers were hived fiom Anholt, but they bring no intelligence iany great importance from the continent. The tly novelty they present is a requisition from ;ApottoN upon Bremen, and some other Northern arts, calling fer a supply of. Seamen to man the wench Nary. The Honourable Captain FORIFS who was sent ome under arrest by the Governor of Sierra Leone, as been directed to , join his regiment, it not appew 1g that the re bad been any ground for so strong a Several Officers came home in the N. larttnoitoued itket which left Lishou on the 14tIfinstant. Some these gentlemen are upon leave of absence for two anths—a circumstance which does not seem to in-_ itate a sudden decision of The campaign. They all, gree in the fact, that the French are in great want.- is the practice, it seems, throughout the Penirw among all those householders who can afford, to lay up, soon after the, harvest, as much un- Tound corn in their houses as will serve their fi ts through the winter ; and much of this is whit call Indian corn. The French, aware of the nvident custom of the people. ads;anced into the mntry at the close of the harvest. Lord Wia.. NGioN used all possible means to have these r2cks of corn destroyed by the inhabitants, previous their retreat with his army to the southward, ad the tar greater portion of it was actually de ,47ed ; but it will be easily conceived that consider. quantities would still remain concealed in the '.uses of . the large towns and villages.

This day at two o'clock, a most numerous atten dance of the Privy Council took place atWhitehall, in order to examine his Majesty's Physicians ; Dr. Rzy noLos and Dr. WILLIs came to town and were in at tendance on the Council, but they had not been exa mined when this Paper was pnt to press, In the mean time, care has been taken to ar range the proceedings in such a manner that His Mt .II6TY will not be left a moment Without a competent number of Physicians in immediate attendance upon him. The Report Of the -Ptlvi Council will be laid tomorrow before Parliament. On the return of the LOiriPaEstoENT and Lord LIMPOOL, from Windsor, on Monday, a Cabinet Council ;- and yesterday morning the LORD CHANCELLOR; and the CHARICELisOR Of thr EXCHE Q UER, arrived at Windsor at nine o'clock in the tnorning ; received a report from the. Physicians of the state of His Majesty's health, and immediately returned to town, when a Cabinet Council was assembled at three o'clock. Another- Council was held at the Foreign Office last night. It was numerously attended. • Yesterday nmning the Princesses A co CSTA and Si;) !MA took an airing nu horseback in Windsor Great Park, attended by Lord WALRINGUAM I _ Lady ELY, General CARTWRIGHT, and ekkktell TAYLOR and DESBRCW. 'Yesterday about one o'clock. Count de Gorroae, the late King Of Sweden, attended at the Palace, with his Interpreter, who inquired of the attendants the proper proceedings to be observed for the Count to pursue to pay his respects in inquiring after the state of his MAJESTY'S health, and to leave his name ; he was informed two o'clock was the hour the Palace was opened to shew the Bulletins, at which time the Count and his Interpreter came again to the Palace, when they were introduced to Earl Pauter, the Lord in waiting, who received the Count with all due respect. The Count was dressed in mourning, with a small white star an his coat ; his hair was short in his neck and powdered. After conversing with Earl PALLET and General CAMPBELL for some time, he retired from the Palace apparently gratified with the attention shewn him. This morning Messrs. DANIEL LOTELL, Publisher and Proprietor of the Stattsman,and THOMAS HARVEY, Printer, and JOHN FISHER, Publisher, of the Day, were brought up to the Court of King's Bench, for judge relent for certain libels in their respective Newspapers, an account of which has been already given in the STAR. Daniel Lovell was sentenced to two years imprisonment in Newgate, and Thomas Harvey, and John Fisher to one year's imprisonment in the same gaol. An asthmatic patient in the City, who is rather defi cient in orthography, wrote to his physician onrrhurs day, stating, " that his coffin had returned," and de siring to know what he should do; to which the latter sent him an answer, recommending him to send it , back to the andertaier. A HOAX.—One of the greatest hoaxes that ever has been heard of in this metropolis, was yesterday prac tised in Berner's-street, Oxford-street. The house of Mrs. TATTENHANI, a Lady of fortune, at N0..54, was beset by a great number of Trades-people, with their various commodities, and from the confusion alto gether such crowds bad collected as to render the street impassable. Waggons laden with coals from the Paddington wharfs, upholsterer's goods in cart loads, organs, piano -fortes, linen, jewellery, and every other description of furniture, sufficient to ha ve stocked the whole street, was lodged as near as possible to the door of No. 54, with anxious trades-people and a laughing mob. The LORD MAYOR of London also arrived in his carriage, and two livery servants, but his Lordship's stay was short, and he was driven to Marlborough-street Police Office. At the Office his Lordship informed the Sitting Magistrate that he had received a note, purporting to have come from Mrs. TATTENHANI, which stated that she had been summoned to appear before him, but that she was confined to her room by sickness, and requested his Lordship's favour to call on her. Berner's-street at this time was in the greatest con. fusion, from the multiplicity of trades-people, who were returning with their goods, and spectators laughing At them. The officers belonging to the MalOgh-street Office were immediately ordered out ttrikeep order, but it was for some time impossible, such was the pressure of trades-people who had been duped. 'Every officer that could be mustered was enlisted to disperse the people, and they were placed at the corners of Berner's-street, to prevent trades people from advancing towards the house with goods. The street was not cleared at a late hoar, as servants of every denomination wanting places began to assemble at five o'clock. It turned out that letters had been written to the different trades-people, which stated recommendations from persons of quality. A reward has been offered for the author of the hoax, which had been carried to a great extent ; for besides a coffin, which was brought to Mrs. TATTENUAM'e house, made to measure, agreeably to lotter,ifve feet six, there were accoucheurs, tooth-drawers, miniature painters, and artists of every description.

The ship Bheemoolah, from China, has brought us advices from that quarter down to the beginning of April, and from Penang to the 18th of May. We have received by her a series of Penang Gazettes, ex tending to the 12th ult. but their contents are gene rally unimportant. Nothing further had occurred to disturb the sub sisting amity between the Committee of Supracargoes and the Chinese Government. Two of the principal Ladrone Chiefs, with their junks, and a body of about 17,000 pirates, had ac cepted the terms proffered by the Chinese Govern ment, and had returned to their allegiance. The other squadrons still continued formidable, and pro secuted their depredations in the river of Canton as before. It has been stated that a number of ships under the American Rag had arrived at China, previous to the sailing of the Bheemool.ih. On reference, how-, ever, to a list of arrivals and departures in our pos session, we find no arrival from the United States subsequent to that of the Ganges from Boston, on the ,26th of February. Had it, however, been otherwise, the mere circumstance of Amedcan vessels having cleared out for China, subsequenfto the departure ot Mr. Jackson from Washington, could prove nothing more than that actual hostilities between America► and Great Britain had not followed immediately upon that event. There had been no renewal of the em bargo laws in the United States ; nor have we heard ot any recent restrictions imposed on the trade of the Union, by which an American vessel could be pre vented from sailing to a Chinese port. The Noe- Intercourse Act affects only the trade with the Belli gerent Powers and their colonies. The following valuable ships, which sailed from Bengal on the 17th April, under convoy of the Bar racouta sloop of war, reached China in safety five days previous to the Bheemoolah's departure, viz. the country ships Auspicious, Margaret, and Frances ; the brig l'Union, and the Portuguese ships Andro meda, Carmo, and Luz.

EDITOR-4t is with great satisfaction I observe. that, in consequence of some late disturbances among th,: crews of the packets at Falmouth, Government have thought proper to remove them to Plymouth- Dock; and that Sir MICHAEL Szviani:ii, in the Nie. most, with a small squadron under his command, had brought np six of them, viz. the Nocton, Elizabeth, Diana, Dispatch, Adventure, and Express ; and that moorings were preparing for them in Stonehouse- Pool. The excellence of that harbour is well known to every person acquainted with the Pot of Plymouth, being very spacious, with a good de-, , t of water, safe anchorap, - and good holding gr I know of no harbour in this country so well adapted for the Packets, as they lie in safety, vintig ions to the shore, and can refit, water their vessels, and get their stores on board in smooth water, the anclionige being completely land-locked by the peninsula known by the name of the Devil's Point, and from this an chorage vessels are afforded the opportunity of sailing with almost every wind. In a great commercial country like this, it affords great advantages. By the Port-Admiral being on the spot, in case of mutiny on board a packet, (by which she might be detained, and which detention might prove fatal to the interests of the commercial world), he can instantly check it. and man the packet with Naval Officers and men, or, if necessary, dis patch a man of war with the mail. The telegraphic communication by which news of importance can be eoriveyetEto the Metropolis in about two hours, is also of great importance ; but in the eye of a seaman there are .ether advantages not lets so. kis well known that the harbour of Falmouth is diily filling up, so that the packets cannot now lap afloat at low water on the spring tides, which 'is of the most striour consequence, as a 'gravy sea sets in with southerly winds. With the winds from S.S.E. to S.F. the advantages of Plymouth-Dock will appear obvious, when it is stated, - thit if two packets get under way , at the same time, the one from Plymouth, and the other from Falmouth, the latter must turn out of Falmouth har bour to sea, to get round the Manacles, while the former will sail out of Plymouth Sound without making a tack, and by the time the packet from Fal mouth is round the Manacles, she w;11 be as far to the westward, with the great advantage of being seven or eight leagues to windward of her. I there. fore cannot help approving of the wisdom of the Le. gislature in making this salutary alteration. The Packet Offiee, I find, is est :Wished, pro tem. pore, at the Fountain Tavern, in Plymouth Dock, where the Agent, Inspector, and the whole establish -*sent, have arrived, except the Chief Clerk, alto re. mains at Falmouth to forward the Mails to their new station. Attached to the commercial interest of my country, I sincerely hope (and of which I have little doubt) that the wise alteration which hes taken place will prove tif . the greatest utility, I am, &c.
