THE. BALTIC. OUT letters from Yaraaoutli, recilived this itu a .. ing, add but little to the unpleasant accounts received yesterday, respecting the Baltic Convoy. The Danish gun-brigs received the information which enabled them to capture these vessels from a foreign s hi p , trading with a British licence ! There was a rumour last night, that another vessel, arrived at an eastern port, contradicted the news of these captutes, but we fear the intelligence is but too correct. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VICE-ADMIRAL Den;GLAs. DATED YARMOUTH, JULY 26, BA.M.TO J. W. V. KEN ESQ. ADMIRALTY-01./10E. 64 I have this moment received a letter from Cap.. tain NIARSIIALL, of the LY•Nt, dated the 20th instant. staring, he had that morning received information from Captain ELLICOTT, of the Hum, that the con. voy under charge of the FORWARD gun-brig, home. ward-bound, and consisting of 42 sail, had been cap tured on the 19th instant, off the Naze of Norway, by five Danish brigs and two schooners. 4 , I shall lose no time in communicating the same to the senior Officer at the Humber, that the needful precautions may be taken by convoys sailing from that port ; and shall strengthen all convoys for dux Baltic, that may touch here, by every means in my power." YARMOUTH, JULY C 7. FRANCFORT, JULY 18. Letters from the South of France, dated about the beginning of the month, contain the following parti culars respecting the state of things in Spain : " In addition to the impression made by the splen. did progress of the French arms since the commence ment of Spring, the most judicious measures have been adopted for maintaining internal tranquillity in the conquered provinces. For the attainment of this object the same means have been resorted to which were employed some years since in the kingdom of Naples, with the difference only that is necessary to apply them to local circumstances, and the obstinate character of the inhabitants. Of this description is the employment of moveable columns in each mi litary district, which acting from a common centre, traverse the district assigned to them in all directions, and pursue and destroy the remains or first germs of the bands of insurgents in their most secret re treats. Of this description also is the employment of a numerous Gendarmerie in the provinces in the rear of the French armies, who are specially charged with preserving the peace of the interior. Another of these means is the construction of several forts in the different provinces which are at a distance from the seat of war. These petty forts are pro- vided with garrisons, more or less numerous, and serve both as places of arms and central positions to the French troops. Thither are conveyed the supplies of artillery and ammunition necessary, as depots of reserve, for the support of the army in the field. They form the points of rendezvous for the troops which arrive from France, and serve as depots for the recruits and conscripts who are there trained and disciplined, preparatory to their being sent to join their respective corps. On the !nine*. pal military road and line of communication between Madrid aid Bayonne, several forts- of this descrip tion are already constructed, or the fortifications and citadels previously in existence, have been improved, sod put in a state of defence. Thus the city of Vic toria has been strengthened with works which render it a military depot of considerable importance. The citadel of Pancorbo, which stands on a steep rock, has, by the addition of some new works, Leen con verted into an important fortress. The city of Bur gos, which is of so much consequence, both in a po litical and military point of view, as the key of Old Castile and the grand depot of the army destined to act against Pcrtugal, now possesses a very strong ci tadel, the occupation of which secures the obedience of that quarter of Old Castile. It is also said, that fortifications are constructing at Aranda. The ap proaches to Madrid, which lie through a chain of rngged and barren mountains, are shut by the fort of Somo Sierra, built on a high precipice by the in surgents, and since considerably enlarged and im proved by the French engineers. In Navarre and Arragon the several old forts have been put4n a state of defence. The works .of Sarragossa are also en larged and considerably improved, compared with their condition at the time of the celebrated siege of last year. The citadel of Toledo, which has been rebuilt, commands the banks of the Tagus,.and se cures the passage of that river. Strong holds are also erecting in the province of La Mancha, and the de sert mountains °fete Sierra Morena. In those quar ter* particular attention is paid to the establishment el plates fo; the reception of sick and wounded sol liers, and also magazines of all kinds of necessaries, for "the supply of the troops marching that way, or bivouacquing in the environs." Private letters and printed papers have been re ceived from Amsterdam to the 25th instant. By the latest accounts it appears that the naval preparations in the Scheldt are carried on with a vigour and acti vity which seems strongly to indicate an intention on the part of the enemy ,to send out a strong. arma ment, for some object or other, whatever may be the difficulty and danger of the attempt. The following was the state of preparation when the last letters came away :—The fleet at Antwerp, of about eleven sail of the line, were Rot yet ready for sea, and five ships of the line at Maydenborg, which were to have been equipped by the Ist of this month, were not nearly completed. Three of them were without masts, and no timber was at hill to supply the deficiency. Seven men of war, however, riding in the Amstel, were manned, rigged, and fitted out, and placed under the command of Admiral DE WINTER, who was at Amsterdam, m tking arrangements for the future management of the marine. One letter mentions a formidable sTaldron now collecting at Flushing, ready for sea and nearly man ned, and which, on Monday last, consisted of ten sail of the line under French colours, three frigates under Dutch colours, and about 40 gun boats ; but perhaps the accounts from Antwerp relate to the same armament—these places not being very remote from each of her. When these accounts came away it was known that the Ex-King had quitted the baths of Carlsbad, and had reached his brother Jettome's Court at Cassel.— The conscription for the snpply of the quota of troops to be furnished by Holland, and the recruiting for the National Guard, which measures were to have been carried into execution immediately, had been post poned at the request of the Hollanders until the com mencement of the new year. The Royal Guard, consist ing of 5000 men, had been marched from Amsterdam into France, from whence it was to proceed with all con venient speed to reinforce the armies in Spain. The Prince of PLACENTIA and: the Duke of REGGIO were also at the same capital, and were engaged with great assiduity in the formation of plans for the internal Government of Holland. A new scheme of Police had been suggested, the administration of which had not then been finally determined upon. No fresh commercial restrictions had at that time been pub lished, but as a precaution, the douaniers on the coast had been nearly doubled, and in every situation where The Court of Exchequer yesterday finally confirm. ed the order for restoring Sir WATKIN LZWES to the full and entire possession of his immense estates, after this having been dispossessed of them for 37 years. This morning a (feet of merchantmen appeared off this port, bound to the Baltic, and after being joined by the LIGHTNING sloop of war, and the STAauxci gun-brig, and the ships waiting convoy,they proceeded with a fair wind. Arrived the SOLEBAY frigate, and the HERO Cutter, from the Baltic ; the former has brought in the John Cook, an American, in ballast s cut out of Rostick, by the boats of the FISGUARD fri gate ; and the latter has brought dispatches from Admiral Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ. By the HERO we have the unpleasant news of a fleet of about 40 sail, under convoy of the BOLD gun-brig, being taken on Thurs. day last in the Baltic, by three sail of gun-brigs of he first class, and two schooners, (Danes) and all carried into Norway except the Bow,. The infor. oration was carried to these vessels which were lying in wait to intercept them by a foreign vessel trading with a British licence. CARLTON Hom.—The dinner given by the Pet Keg to his daughter Princess CHARLOTTE, on Monday last, at Carlton House, was an exhibition of the most splen. did and affectionate attention, on the part of his Royal Highness. It was the first time her Royal Highness had dined in public at Carlron.house. The party was more select than numerous. It was intended ion twenty, bnt consisted of only nineteen, one of the Royal Dukes being unavoidably absent. Those pre. sent were— 1 be Prince, the Princess Charlotte, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, bit Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, the Countess de Clifford, Lady Anne CuUen Smith, Mts.

Sheridan, Generals Hammond and Taylor, and Colonel Bloomfield. Nothing could exceed the magnificence of the en tertainmei t. The servants were ranged in their state liveries, in the grand hall, and sixteen of the principal attendants, in full-dressed uniform, increas. ed the grandeur of the fete. The Duchess of YORK sat on the Pewees right hand, he sitting on the side centre of the table, and his Royal Daughter on his left, the Duke of YORK next to the Princess CHAR. L's.TTE, and the Duke of CUMBERLAND next to the Duchess of YORK. The Duke of BRUNSWICK sat at the head of the table. The delightful manners of the Princess CHARLOTTE towards all, and more especially towards her Royal Parent, were admired by every one present. It is needless to add, that the PRINCE is himself the most engaging, the most con• descending, the kindest, and the highest bred Gentle. man in Europe. On Tuesday, a large party of fashionables proceed ed from Windsor, on an aquatic excursion tiy Cliffden Spring, near Maidenhead, the residence of the Coun tess of OnnsEt, where they dined on the beautiful lawn by the river side. The Stafford band was in attendance, and added greatly to the pleasures of the festive scene, from which they did not return until 11 o'clock at night. Among the company present were— Marchioness Cornwallis Lord and Lady Harcourt, Lord Lewisham lord Apsley, Lord Markham, Lord Murray, Lady Bath u sr, IVlrs.Wayling, the Hon. Edward Legge, Cols.

DcITCH PAPERS. AMSTERDAM, JULY 21. The Minister of Marine and Colonies has received from his Excellency the Duke of Reggio, tlae follow ing Regulation, decreed by his Excellency the Mar shal Duke of Reggio, Commander-in-Chief of the Corps of Observatio% in Holland, with respect to the Fishery for Fresh Fish : " Whereas the Fishery for Fresh Fish, which constitutes the only means of Subsistence of the Inhabitants of the Coasts, and the Villages thereon, cannot be prohibited without injuring the most in•igent class of the people; and his Excellency, considering that, in authorising the continuance of the Fishery, it ip essential that measures should be Liken to prevent fraud, and obstruct any communication with the enemy, he ordains as follows: " 1. Every fishing vessel whatsoever, before going to sea, must be yrtivided with a permit, specifying the name or number, and form of the vessel, the names, descriptions, and residence, of the crew, and the name of the owner of the vessel. This permit shall be greed by the Military Commandant of the district in which the master of the vessel rt'ides. " 8. Every time that a fishing-boat leaves the shore, she shall be visited by the Custom-house officers, and her permit inspected by the Commandant of the military post established on the coast, or in the village nearest to the point of departure. If the fishing boat sails from a port or roadstead, her permit shall in that case be inspected and verified by the-Commander of the guard-ship in the road, and she shall be visited by the Custom-house officers. " 3. No vessel, either at her departure or on her return, shall pass the guard ship without being visited and having her permit verified by the Custom-house officer of the last post. " 4. In case, from unforeseen circumstances, fishing boats shall have been obliged to hold communication with the enemy, they &All, on their return, forthwith report the same to the Comman der of the guard-ship, or the nearest post to their place of landirg. " 5. Fishing-boats shall, in no case, put to sea before the morn ing gun, nor return after the evening gun, without having ob tained permission. Should circumstances compel them to land after the evening gun, they shall thercofinform the Commandant Of the nearest post to the place where they shall have stopped. " 6. Fishing-vessels or boats shall take on hoard only such ar ticles and provisions as shall be necesszry for their use, during the time they may be supposed to be at sea. Every article, except what belongs to their occupation, found on beard at their depar ture or return, shall be confiscated. " 7. Fishing-boats along the coasts shall not, unless from un. foreseen accident, remain at sea more than eight and forty hours, the time shall be reckoned from the last examination of their 'erotic. " 8. A French soldier shall be put on board each of the fishing boats, the metiers of which are suspected of smuggling or com municating *lth the enemy; and in case of the capture of any of those soldiers by the enemy, the fishery shall be instantly pro hibited, and a general embargo laid on all the vessels therein em ployed. In short, the village where the fishermen resides ,hail be exemplarily punished. "9. The vessels employed in the herring and salted-cod fishery shall net put to sea until the Marshal Duke of Rtggio shall have hem authorised to make a regulation with resin ct to them. " 10. Every fishing-vessel, not havtng on board, at her return, the crew specified in her permit, shalt be sequestrated. A proces enrlsal shall be made of the number oilmen, articles, papers, mer chandise, mid goods on board at the time of sequestration. The master shall be forwarded from post to post, to the head-quarters, together with a copy of the prow-verbal of the sequestration, and the papers found on board.

Letters from the St:ay-Elm-tyre frigate. dated the 9th instant, (which ship was then at anchor in Quiberon Bay) state nothing of the circarnstance ; yet some credit is to be attached to the report, as the master of the sloop informs me, that a number of people at Hedie (at which island he procured water) saw the action, and informed him of every particular." Two soldiers, Joux atm and THOMAS anntoce, belonging to the 87th Regiment, who were taken pri soners at the battle of ralavera, in company with a German, who was taken in the Spanish service at the siege of Saragossa, made their escape from Rochelle, on the night of the 6th instant, in an open boat, which they swam to and cut from the stern of an American vessel lying there, and fortunately got on board his Majesty's ship COUNAGEUX. They state, that throughout the whole of the country they had been marched—from Talavera to Bayonne, from Bayonne to Angouleme, from Angouleme to Roche fort, and thence to Rochelle, the greatest plenty and abundance prevailed ; they were every where treated with kindness. Many hundreds of the English priso ners were employed in agriculture and other work.— At Rochelle there are 3000 prisoners, and so little restraint are they kept under, that they might all make their escape, had they the means of reaching our shipping that lie c u ff the coast. •=•••••••, The following is a correct list of the stations of the British ships on the French coast : At anchor in Basque Roads—The DREADWOUGHT, 98, GIBRALTAR, SO; CoLuAGEUX, 74; ADRIAN and FANCY cutters. Off the Glennans—The VALIANT, 74. Off Brest—The PoicriEus, ; SHANNON and AMELIA frigates. Off Bourdeaux—The Anmipr. frigate. Off L'Orient—The UNICORN frigate. a plank could Be floated, these Custom-house ogees made their appearance. The French provisional Government has already, given a proof of that " parental protection" which, according to CIIAMPAGNY'S letter, the inhabitants of Holland are to derive from the annexation of their country to France. The fisheries, from which thou sands derived their subsistence, are subjected to a code of regulations dictated by the grossest ignorance, or ' most unfeeling tyranny. According to one of these, a French soldier is to be put on board of every boat going out to fish, the master of which is suspected of engaging in clandestine trade ; and if he should be taken, a general embargo on all fishing vessels is to 1 1 take place throughout Holland ! ! I An article from Amsterdam notices the transport of provisions in great quantities in the kingdom of Naples, and that the preparations for an important expedition might be considered complete. Several persons who have arrived from the Dutch coast, in the course of the two last days, state that NAPOLEON was shortly expected at Amsterdam. His visit was supposed to be for the purpose of inspecting the armament previous to its departure. We are concerned to state, that by accounts from Sicily it appears that the state of public affairs is far from being pleasing ; that the public mind is in a great state of ferment ; and that the sentiments of the Court and at British head-quarters are not so cordial towards each other as could be wished at a moment when the common enemy threatens equal destruction to both, and has many partizans in the island ready to take advantage of every even.. The malcontents are represented as being formidable, both from their numbers and povren The Parliament, that spectre I of the ancient constitutional authority, was assembled I in March last, and to the astonishment and dismay of i the Court, it resumed a degree of its former spirit; and asserted the right of examining the demands of the G overnment for new supplies. Instead of implicitly com plying with the mandate, they did not even grant the sums necessary to carry on the course of Government, much less to provide for the defence of the state under its present alarming danger. In consequence ofthis pro ceeding, his Sicilian Majesty suspended the Assem bly, and submitted their Resolutions to an especial Commission on the score of informality. In the I mean time, by the explosion of this national spirit, the , French party in the Island has become more auda cious—and the most incendiary Addresses to the peo pie have been distributed in profusion.—These have been republished by the English with marginal ani madversions—a measure, of which their Majesties loudly complain, because in these marginal notes the British Commander seems only solicitous to acquit his own countrymen of the insidious designs imputed to them by the French, but takes very little pains to justify the Court of Palermo from the gross and scan dalous charges brought against the Government. In the STAR of the 29th ult. we gave one of these ad drgses.—Mattcrs are evidently coming to a crisis in that quarter. The enemy has for some time been preparing for a descent on the island ; and Mi nisters, we understand, mean immediately to send an accredited agent (Mr. CANNING, if we are rightly in formed) with full powers to satisfy :heir Majesties of our good dispositions towards them, and of our reso lution to defend the Island against the utmost power of the French. We have letters from Boston, with a regular file of papers, to the date of the 26th ultimo. The following is the only intelligence of importance : " BOSTON, JUNE 24. " I.etters from Washington 'Erectly contradict the report of a speedy call of Congress. Of course the statements respecting an Embargo and Non-Intercourse Law are mere fabrications. It is ascertained as a fact, that Congress `►ill not meet before the usual period, and the dispatches by the John Adams do not require the additional assistance of that Body." Government have received the following intelli gence :—Captain MrNzIE, of the AnErnusA, having, on •the 25th ult. had a communication with the Junta of Gallica and Asturias, took on board his ship arid cther vessels, 500 Spaniards, under a Spanish Gene ral, and secured the whole coast of Spain from Bayonne to Cape Ortega'. He destroyed 200 French men, spiked 100 pieces of cannon, and took Santano, but was unable to make himself master of Castras. All this was effected without the loss of a man. The Spanish force we took on board was increased by SW Spaniards, who were rescued from the enemy during this dashing expedition. The particulars will appear in the Gazette of this evening. It is a circumstance not undeserving of notice, that in a recent decree 'for new regulating the Appeal Courts throughout the French Empire, the post of honour in the order of enactment is assigned to that of Ajaccio, the birth-place of NAPOLEON. On the 23d, and two following nights, in conse quence of the marriage nt the Princess D. MARIA THERESA, the eldest daughter of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT of PORTCGAL, to the Infant of Spain 1). PEDRO CARLOS, the house of the Portuguese Minister was brilliantly illuminated. A great crowd assembled every night before the house, and greeted the event with music, acclamations, and dances. The hereditary Prince of MEKLENBERG SCHWERIN was married on the Ist instant, to Princess CAROLINA of Saxe Weimar. 1
