Bythe Experiment whaler, which sailed from New South Wales on the 51st March last, we learn, that on the 28th if December, 1809, Governor Macquar rie arrived at New South Wales, with the 73d regi ment, in the Dromedary and Hindustan ; he WOO on the Ist of January, 181-0, and read his commis sion, and issued the following Proclamation : PROCLAMATION BY HIS F.XCELLFNCI LACIILAN NIACQUARRIE, ESQ. CAP TAIN-GENERAL. AND GOVERNOR IN CHIEF OF HIS MA AInTY'S TERRITORY OF NEW SOUTH W4LES AND ITS DEPE‘DINCIES I &C. ACC. &C. 41 His Majesty having felt the utmost regret and dispeasure, on account of the late tumultuous pro reediugs in this his colony, and the mutinous con duct of certain persons therein towards his late repre sentative, William Bligh, Esq. then Captain General ant Commander in chief in the said Colony, in order to mark such his disapprobation of the said proceed ings, has been graciously pleased to appoint me his representative in the said territory at New South Vales and its dependencies, commanding and re qniring me, previous to the opening of his royal corn- Mission for that purpose, to reinstate the said William IPA. Esq. in the office and situation of Captain Ge neral And Governor in Chief of this his colony, in case he should be resident in the same at the time of my ar rival. His Majesty, through his graci•nts ans'ety for we)fare and happiness of his loyal subjects of New Wales, for the complete restoration of quiet and harmony, and to remove every motive for fut.lire disturbances, has also been graciously pleased to di rect me in signify to the 'aid William Bligh, Esq. his Majesty's pleasim., that he, the said Wm. Bligh, Esq. alunild, at the expiration of 44 hours after being reinstate d. receive me as his successor in the oilice of Captain General a:id Governor in Chief of the terri frry of New South Wales and its dependencies, and administer to me the oaths usually administered on such occasion. of Excellency the Governor laments extremely that the absence of the late representative of his Ma jesty in this colony, and the necessity of his immedi ately taking upon himself the command of the same, in obedience to his Majesty's ccmmands, has render ed it impossible for him to carry his Majesty's orders into literal execution, as his Excellency was most anxiously desirous to do. But in order to fulfil his Majesty's intentions as completely as present circum stances will permit, his Excellency the Governor has thought proper, by this his proclamation, publicly to make known, that nothing but the reasons above mentioned have prevented him from reinstating William Bligh, Esquire, in the effice of Captain ! General and Governor in Chief of this territory and its dependencies, and from acting in all respects con formably to his Majesty's commands. And he feels it a painful duty to be thus impelled publicly to an trainee hii Majesty's high displeasure and disappro li item of the mutinous and outrageous conduct dis. - played in the forcible and unwarrantable removal of h;• 1 ite representative William Bligh, Esq. and of the ttimultii. its pro:eedings connected therewith. " His Excellency the Governor avails himself of t 1,1% pportaiity of expressing his earnest hope that 'harmony union will now be restored to the Co lony ; that all party spirit w h ich has unfortunately resultt d from the lite unhappy disturbances will end, and that the higher cl..sses will set an example of sub. rdination, morality, and decorum; and that those . in an inferior station mill endeavour to distingnish themselves only by their loyalty, their soht iet,x,and their industry, by which means alone the wilare happiness of die community can be effectually pro !rioted.

Only two years ago the first bear cf this kind came to thee city. They carry in general about ten tons. On Friday last there were six of these boats discharging their loading at one time. It is an undeniable tact, that th,i trade and comm• rte of these pro jvieeces have increased as mpitlly within two years, as ever they, did in any part of the United States in the sante time and propor don of population. QUEBEC, JUNE 21. The fruit-tries of every description in the vicinby of this city, and we are told, to bryntid Montreal, present a very extraordi nary appearance this season. They are still leant-4 as in the mid- Idle of winter, with the exception of here and there a few of the strongest buds which have expanded. Seth of the forest trees are nearly in the same state, particularly the oak and maple, In lexposed situations. It it probable that tl,e buds nave been de stroyed by the severe cold of last January, as, in wise places, the ends of branches at a short distance from the ground, are in full blovom, having apparently been preserved by being put under the snow. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PASCOVA, AUGUST S. The greatest exertions are employed to repair the fortifications of Deligrad; but it is Impossible to re store them to their former state in a short time. All the ramparts were destroyed and the houses demo lished. Deligrad resembles a large entrenched camp, capable of containing 7or 8000 men. The circum ference of the town has been considerably increased, so that it will be difficult to cut off the water, or pre 'vent the communications with the other entrenched positions. A number of huts have been erected in the midst of this enclosed space. Several stibterr4neons dwellings have been made, to shelter the inhabitants from the effects of a bombardment: The General in Chief, Czerni George, has appear ed within these few days on the banks of the Lower Murawa. It is said that ht is ablut to proceed to tilt.. Russian quarters at Pra ha, to hold a conference with the Russian General respecting the future ope rations against the common enemy. II ER MANSTAD E, JULY 30. Excepting some actions, which, without being de cisive, have been in favour of the Russianl, we know nothing of the progress of the armies in Bulgaria. Varna has not yet surrendered to the Russians. It is reported that the Grand Vizier had received some re inforcements, and driven the Russians to a consider able distance from the place ; but no pat Cculars are mentioned. The Russians hitherto hive had the beet of the campaign. Their heavy a:tillery overwhelms the Turks, who are obliged to keep as close as they can. A report, however, again prevails that the Tui k have obtained a victory before Schumla. VIENNA, AUGUST im. It is reported that his Majesty the Emperor wiH soon set out for Styria, and the borders of CrOatia. The Empress will proceed to Hungary, to wait his Majesty's return. In order to reduce the expenses of the army a much AS possible, t!icre are to be no longer any third battalion•. The companies are to be reduced from 180 to lt►O men—the militia (Landwehr), on the contrary, %% ill I , r:come general; the officers, who were out of employment by the reduction of the army will be employed in disciplining it. This arrangement wdl add considerably to our mditary force. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY It It has been officially announced that the Paella of Rudschuck, haviig placed a Russian corps of ten thousand men, which was before that place, between two fires, killed 700, and made 75::0 prisoners. The Grand Seignior displays uncommon energy. In a nee, proclamation he has declared that every Mussulman capable of betning arms, who will not range himself under the standard of Mahn et to fight for his country and religion, shall he considered and dealt with as an unbeliever. The Sultan re views the troops daily that are proceeding to reinforce the main army. A body of guards, to consist of 17,000 cavalry, is organizing. Great events may be soon expected. PREqBURCII, AITC:UST 9. Letters from , everal pasts ref Turkey mention great Advantages obtained by the R ussians. but they differ materially respecting the dezails. According to - some, the Qrand Viaiees army has capitulated ; according t to gthers, ,4 cut.* ,%ay . tkre.ugh the übsi4ortni. and made good its retreat to Adrianople. It is cer tain, however, that several Russian corps have ai•- peared on the road to Phillippoli, and created consi derable alarm ; but as. they consist of light csatalry and Cossacks, it s not supposed that they can obtain any permanent success. The fate of Turkey entirely depends on that of the Grand Viaices army. Should it succeed in falling b:tck without great loss, it is pro bable that it will prevent the Russians from advan cing to Adrianople. Warna still holds nut. It received a supply of pro- I visions from two frigates and a convoy from Con stantinople. The Russians could not prevent its entering the fortress. PETErtsIII:I2GH, JUI.Y SI. Ge-Tv-Tal S . .zss repulsed the sorties of the enemy from Rudschuck for five - successive days subsequent to the 2.5ih of Jui.ie. On the Titit zild 29th we had two sharp actions with the Turkish troops, who were much more numerous than ours. The first lasted for eight hours, the second four hours and a half. In both the enemy were completely routed, and driven back with considerable loss under the walls of Rud s . chuck. They left u p war d s of 700 dead on the field, 'but carried off their wounded. We had a Captain belonging to the staff, and 11 soldiers, killed ; a sub lieutenant, 3 subalterns, an d 72 men , woun d e d. , General ThermolOw, who observes GuirgeWo, has taken possession of the forts of Sininiza and Slobod selah, and established; by means of the flotilla, a com munication between his corps and that of G enera l Sass. . . . . , . • , 7 :fen r.- I~ ~ ~\ • - - PRIVAT4 LETTER.-44 AIESSTITA„ MIN U. es Since my last we have been Playing*the same game ; in constant alarm by the French keeping a gre it part of their army embarked at nights, which lugs kept all ours under arms. They began ten days ago to annoy us a little, by throwing 36 pound shot across to the Faro, from a gun they have slung on a triangle, elevated to 45 degrees. In return, we-have got some heavy sea -mortars, that were left at Malta, by the Meteor bomb, and have just SOO yards to spare in their range. They had brought almost all their boats to the Point of Pizzo, 3400 yards, and this sea- Mortar, having been got down and planted directly opposite, just carried amongst their boats as nice as possible ; without their being able to give us any thing of the same kind in return. " B.:sides this mortar, we have this day com pieced the number of mortar-boats to sir, which anchor' about 500 yards from our shore, and play upon them also. The shot from their batteries fly about them pretty well, but have not yet touched them. This day week we had a grand fight, our gun and mortar boats against their boats and batteries; seven killed, five wounded (all Sicilians), on our side; and they, I sup pose, had seven times as many: they allow 15 killed. Our thus annoying them has had the effect of making them retire with nearly all their boats into Scylla bay, which being very small, they are not a little crowded. Ot course we can fire shells at them now with almost cert.tinty of hitting same. If they continue afloat, with a stiff N.W. breeze, they can be burnt by a fire boot or two ; and it will take Murat two or three hours more to come over from Scylla, than it would from Pizzo ; not only being a greater distance, but, on account of the confined beach he has to embark l!is troops from : these are great advantages. Their smaller gun-boats desert to us every day, and some of their troops ; the deserters say he has 39,000 men. _ _ _ " You can have no idea of the beautiful effect of the small actions we continually have in a narrow straight I kt the Faro, wit 74 the immensely high Calabrian moun tains rising behind the smoke, the echo of the report of the guns and mortars, and the numerous small co banns of smoke—some of the fined sights T ever wit nes,ed ; and as we seldom lose any men, there is nothing to damp the pleasure. _ . . . . " JULY 27.—The trentli returned again last night with all their boats to Pizzo Point, and embarked their troops, which had the usual effect of keeping all our troops under arms. Weolittifortunately, split one of the mortars yesterday, and datnaged two others. To make up for all this they have made signal by tele graph, from the heights, for a frigate, two brigs, and 36 sail of large boats, which must be all prizes. We heard from Calabria, that a squadron of ours had &i -lea in with a division of 120 of their boats, so we sup pose the rest are destroyed." SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. The subsequent copy of a dispatch from Colonel Don Miguel de Alrera to General O'llonnel, will be read with particular satisfaction : " Albes, July 24, 1810. " Most Excellent Senor—l have the honour to Inform your Excellency, that on the 29th of last month, by a party of armed peasant!, I received inforniation that the enemy was near Seri. mama, collecting provisions, to the number of about 900 men.— On further examination this news was confirmed to me, by per sons employed to inquire, excepting, that the French I found did not exceed about 800 men. Thus instructed, I deemed it to be prudent to concentre the forces under my orders, amounting to 630 infantry, and 150 cavalry, together with a bcely of near '.!00 armed pLasants from the mountains, collected from the Guerril las, making in the whole a strength of about 1000 men. The pea santry were only armed with pikes and a few muskets, and our cavalry were not well mounted. " On the 11th of the present month we began to march in the direction of Serinana, crossing the small river Cinica, at Nl.)nt. " On the 13;11 we passed tifrough Serinana, and the mat day came in sight of the enemy, who had completed his foraging, and was making away with it undir his convoy towards Nue,itra Se nora de Ins Fuentes. It consi.ted of 27 waggons laden with pro visions and plunder, taken from the surrounding country. Imme diately on finding they were discovered and pursued, they dis patched the convoy forward under the guard of 150 men, and he remainder drew up and waited our approach to stop our further advance against the convoy, which was getting away as fast as it could. " They posted themselves to great advantage on the river Muedo, with a reserve on an eminence. They were drawn up in three divisions, the centre commanded by Colonel Perron, who bad been a very succe►sful officer. The instant our troops came near to the French, they rushed upon them, and were re ceived by the enemy with a well-direese.l volley, which checked them, but the Spaniards undaunted, again charged the French, and dislodged them, laving about seventy dead on the field.- 1 be enemy fled with the greaten precipitation, yet his loss i❑ the pursuit was very great. in the mean time, I had forwarded the two hundred armed peasants to overtake the CO!lVily, which they did accordingly, and atter a very severe conftct. in se hied: th. y conducted themselves most bravely, they were auccesstit, and 24 waggons fell into our hands. Three of the waggons had been previols'y burned. Forty Frenchmen threw down their arms, and submitted on condition that their lives should be spared. " This brilliant action has done great honour to every man en :raged, and the thanks of the country are due. to the troops for excellent coodu'et and titielniu:lled eiierage. Applause ha, been especially merited by the Ca;;tains of infantry Rolt•gne and Piteous whom your Excellestcy will r e p ort to hi s M ajesty, as indeed, as the whole corps. "By this achievement wugors laden with ail sorts of storett and with a large sum of money, have been acquired, as well as 150 stand of arms left in the field by the trimly. The: prisoners ate 73, and the killed of the French near 200. A greater number were wounded. Our loss, compared with theirs, is finial!, since we had only 43 killed. and 107 wounded.—Goo preserve your Excellency, &c. (Signed) " MIGUEL 11Z ALVLB.A." GIBRALTAR, AUGUz+T 21. Never since the commencement of the contest have the affairs of Spain wore a m. , r2 promising aspect :- 1500 deserters, Austrians, Swiss, and Poles, have ar rived here within the space of eight or ten days, all of whom have entered into our service, and been sent off to Malta and Messina, to complete the foreign corps stationed there. The deserters say, that they have been without any pay for these seven months, and that ►n every other.respect the French armies expe rience great privations. The French have closed the port of Malaga, and do not suffer any vessel whatso ever to sail. It is the opinion of those connected with the trade of that port, that this being the raisin sea. son, the enemy do not wish that any vessel should sail without paying some kind of contribution to the French Governor. A UCUST 23. We are little acquainted with the interior of Anda lusia, on account of the French giving us much ob struction, but as far as we can learn, all things pro ceed there in the best manner. It seems from the delay, that the plaa of raising the siege of Cadiz has been abandoned. The besieging army is t3ritt9 strong. Letters from the East contain favourable nevo The whole of Arragon is in arms, as well as a part of the South of Castile.

After a she had been fired upon the vessel from Calais, the Com. missary came off' and told Mr. POWELL, that if the vessel attempted to enter the harbour she would be sunk. Mr. POWELL then directed the flag of truce to proceed to Boulogne, which she did, and made di. rectly into the harbour ; but had nearly cause to repent this bold measure, for a heavy fee of shot and shell was instantly opened upon her, and it was only by an immediate flight that the crew and vessel were saved from annihilation.—Such is the respect the cue. my shew to a Flag of Truce from this country. There has been no fresh arrival from Portugal since our last, but the following particulars from the latest official retui us, and other authentic sources, have ac 4 yet bc.'n made generally public : " The British army now in Portugal amounts ts 23,000 fighting men, all in excellent health and spi. tits. Of these 24,009 are under the immediate con. mind of Lord WELLINGTON, including Gin. Hu.t.'s division. The remainder are at Tomar, under Gt. ncr.tl LEITH, with tl:c excepon of ore regiment at Lisbos.—Further reinforcements will soon go ou t .from this country. The 79th and 94th have already left Cadiz for Portug.il ; two more regiments ate to follow; and another corps is daily expected from North America ; so that in ashwrt time our force in Portugal will he very formidable. Still, however, if will be far out-numbered by dint of the enemy, as appears by MAssENA's Priiclam ui.un, -.rhich asset; that he has under hi, orders 110,000 men!' We helievb the latest official advico3 are of the 19th nit. The French had then •commerced the siege of Almeida, and Lord WELLINGTON was concentrating his forces, among other objects, with a view of cons. pelling the French to keep in a collected b-Ay, and thus increase their difficulties as to supplies. The latest private letters are of the 21st ult. A letter of the 206 states, that Lori Wetuvorcx 144 removed his head-quarters to Alverca, and that our out-posts extended to within eight or ten miles of Pinhel. But a letter which we subjoin, of the 21st, speaks as if head-quarters were still at Celerico. There is perhaps a mistake in the date of one or Other of the letters. The following, however, we are inclined to consi.ter as correct ; " CELERICO, AUGUST el. " The milt body of the British army is now at this place to high health and spirits.

C:neralklit.b has taken up a n•`w position in advance; andl..ard WELLINGTON frankly says, that though he is surrounded with dangers, if he is blessed with health and a continuance of gel spirits, be has no fear for the result of the expected vieral action. The following is an extract of a Letter from a bli• litary 0:11:er of high rank at Cacrs, to a Gentleman in Edinburgh : " Cadiz is now very strong indeed, taking in all that has bees done in the Isla to protect it.
