The libel upon his Britannic Maptsry, which appeared at full length in the Hamburg!' Papers of the gosh oh. and which was before that wifely modified by the Syndic and Cenfor of the Pres, was, it is laid, previoully communicated to Sir Gsoacs Rustroxn, the Britifh Charge d'Affaires, who is reported to have anfwered, that if the Se nate was forced to content to the infertion of fuch coramanications from the French Government, they mull of conrfe do the fame juflice to loch a:ticks as he, Sir Grotos, might receive from his Government, and publifh them accordingly.

Since our Lift a Mail has arrived from Lifbon. When the Packet failed it was reported, that the French fleet, under the command of Admiral In ants, originally (fated to be intended for the Fall Indies, had failed, but that its real deflination was to take poffeflion of the Nazils. This is certainly not impoalble ; but, when it it recoliated that the idea of a rupture between this Country and France has fpread a very general alarm throughout Portugal, the new deflination of the Fri:nth fleet may have no other foundation but glut rells on the fears of the Lifbon Merchants We ought, however, to guard ourfelves in time aga;iiß the mifchiefs which would refult from fuch a capture. A merchant velTel, which arrived at Yarmouth yellerday, brought intelligence, that when fhe left Haniburgli the Seism.: was debating the quellion , ‘Vhether they (holdd prate° the city themfelves, nr allow the Pruflian troops to march in for that purpnfc ?"—Our letters from Yarmouth do not mention on what day the vet Tel left llamburgh, from which we fhould have been inclined to believe that this is merely an erroneous Ratement about the Sitting of the Senate refpeOing the Mandell° which has already made fo much noife ; but we rather think, in confcluence of a letter received bt:fore. from Hamburgh by the lair IsTail, that ti:: :senate has fame new matter before it. The Letter from Hamburgh, to which r-e hav e jUR alluded, Rates, that the French Refident in fills on inferting another official article in the Car rt./pantheon in which BONAPARTE lays, that he i s determined, fhould war take place, to recognize none but friends or enemies. Does he mean to i force Denmark and Sweden to join him ? We do not believe he will attempt fuch a piece of violence. Neither is it likely that the KIND of Pius si a will lend himfelf fo entirely to the FIRST CoNsuL's pal lions, as to commit ads of injuftice that are Amor! too extravagant for the Cabinet of the Thuilleries. Other letters exprefs much apprehenfion, that in the event of a war between England and France, Hamburgh and its territory will be occupied by French or Pruflian troops, in order to prevent the introdultion of Britilis manufaftures into that part of Germany. The Senate has jullified itfelf to the Bran Refident, Sir G. RumSOLD, for the libel on this country, inferted in the Hamburgh Papers, by communicating the order which accompanied it from the French Mintier, in which Hambnrgh was threatened with the aftive refentment cf the Curer Cortitn, if the publication was reface'. We learn that General BOURNONVILLE, the French Ambaffirdor at Madrid, has demanded fop plies, both of men and money, from his CATHOLIC Map STY, in the event of a war with England: the Marine of Spain, douhtlefs, will alfo be put in requifition, and that feeble Government will again be involved, by stile pernicious influence of France, in the miferies of war. German letters reiterate the repents communi cated by the heft Dutch Mail, that fhould a war take place, Praia hss engaged to occupy with her troops the Banks of the Elbe, as far as Cuxhaven, and the whole EleCtorate of Hanover. There re ports were fo far credited in Hamburgh, as to in duce a fall in the Courfe of Exchange upon Lon• don.—Duanc, during his flay at Berlin, had fe veral interviews with the KIND, at all of which Count Hatrawrvz was prefent—one of thefe con ferences bated four hours, when, it is laid, the plan fuggefied by the FIRST CON suL for the °cell p4,ion of Hanover, was agreed to. It is, on the other hand, affierted that both Pruffia and Raffia are diffirtisfied at the abfolute afcendency which BoNararrs has affumed over the German Empire, and at the difregard with which he treats the in:fettled claims of the Elator of Bavaria, Saltzhurg, and Wirtemberg. The Emperor of Russia has further occafion of of fence in the oppotitinn with which the CHIEF CONSUL encounters his willies for full indemnity being granted to the King of SARDINIA. BONA. PARTF indulges perfonsl diflike to that unfortu• rate Monarch, and profautes it at the facrifice of hit intereß. It is a quellirrn, too, how far the Cabinet of Peterfburgh, which has fo feduloufly employed itfclf in the ,eitablifhment of Peace in the German Empire, would admit the violation of that Peace by the threatened feizure of Hancver. Yefterday we received Paris Journals of the 6th infant, and this morning the Muniteur of the 7th The Motile:Jr of the 6th Rates, that Difpatches have been received from General Rocriassaaao, of the 7th of February. A fuccersful expedition is laid to have been executed againa Miragoane, in which the infurgents were routed in every di reCtion. The Southern part of St. Domingo is reprefented to be very nearly refcued f'-om the horrors of war, and the Weftern alone remains to be tranquilized. It appears, however, from the American papers, received to the 3d of March, that little credit is due to thefe accounts. The Cape is again threat ened by a numerous force. During the ablence of General Rocu•statatr, while engaged in the ex pedition againft Miragoane, the Negroes colleCted in great numbers, and kept the whole of that part of the corny in a continual Rate of al-um. The French papers air() Rate, that an infurrec tion of the Swirs troops at Berne took place on the ' :6th ult. which for fume time wore a very alarm ing appearance. Our Readers will hod the parti• culars and tome other extrafts in a prece.l...g co lumn. There is not only a fteadinefs, but a rife in the French Funds, which little agrees with the (pinion of thole silo think that hollilities will be refumed. The Five per Cents. were lag Tuefday at 54 : nn Wednefday they were at 55 fr. 7o c. It is poMble, however, that this price, grange as it may appear to fome, has been brought about, at a trifling ex• pence, to produce an effat on the Englifh Funds, a (mall rife on which would loon enable thole in the fecret to repay them:elves amply for the fmall hazard run in the French Five per Cents. The Pari iian fpeculatorshave mere to do with our Stock Exchange than many are aware of. The return of General DUROC from Berlin is announced.

The Moniteur of the 7th prefents a copy of the correfpondence which pair e d between Captain BALL, the Britifh Commander there, and thc Officer fent in the name of the newly appointed Grand Mailer to demand poffeffion of the place ; and it is a little remarkable that, in the fame Paper, under the head " Beatatt," a para. graph is infealed, (lacing, that— " liis Majefty the Emperor of GERMANY, and his Mikity the Emperor of Russia, guaranteed a . long time ago the independence of the Nand and Order of Malta. Pruffia was the only Power which hitherto had not replied in a peremptory manner to the requeft which had been made to it, but under the prefent circumflances his Majefty the King of PRUSSIA thinks he ought to guaranty as felon as poffible the independence of the ifland and of the Order of Malta." The paragraph which we have _it'll quoted, is added bit he end of a letter from Berlin, dated the 22d of March, from which however it is feparated by a line, as if to make it more confpicuous. The Alonitear, as every one knows, is the French offs. cial paper. Is this article fo We confers we can not tell whether it is a Pruffian official.document or not—lt is plainly meant to produce that inl preffion, but that proves nothing. The following is the correfpondence refpedling Malta, which appears in the Mardian. : PARIS, Antis 6.—ln virtue of an agreement en, tered into between the great Powers interelted in the order of Malta, and acceded to by his B&►ram. NIC MAjIISTY on the Bth of June Otos, the nomi• nition of Grand Mailer of Malta was referred for t'lis time to the Holy See, on a prefentation of the Priors of the Order. The Holy Father and the Priors acceded to this arrangement. In eonfequence, his Holinefs nominated, oaths gth of February tBo3, as Grand Mailer of the Order of Saint John of Jerufalem, M. le BAILEY de THOMA SI, who has accepted his nomination. The new Grand Mailer has thought it neceirary to fend to Malta the Commander Busy, whom he named for that purpofe his Reprefentative and Licimenant. The Chevalier arrived in the gland on the 28th of February. The following docu ments will make known what bas hitherto bees the refult of his million : 'ATM OF THE COMIN•NDSIL DS BUST, TO TOS LIIGLISH kIINISTSIt AT MALTA. " Monlieur die Minittrr of England, I had the honour of explaining to your Er eelleney this morning the objet of the miffion which his moil eminent Highnefs, the Grand Mat ter of the Order of Saint John of Jerufalem, has charged me to fulfil at Malta. " To this explanation your Excellency replied, that you had no orders to evacuate the Wand of Malta with the Englilh garrifon, and you gave me to underiland, that the Grand Mailer would do well not to repair thither. " After ladling on this anfwer of your Er cellency, I have thought not only that it was un fatisfadory, as your Excellency might fuppofe, but that it required farther explanation. a As the anfwer of your Excellency teems to contain a refufal to furrender the Ifland of Malta to the Order of Saint John of Jerufalem, agreeably to the loth article of the Treaty ►f Amiens, and As fuch a violation of this Treaty of Peace may be attended with the moll important confequences, and I may even fay confequences fatal to the repofe of Europe, I cannot reit fittisfied with the verbal anfwer which your Excellency was pleated to give me, and I thould be wanting to the confidence f the Grand Mailer, as well as to the duty and dignity of that charadter with which he has invell ed me, if I did not invite you, Sir, the Minifter Ilenipotentiary, to explain openly, and in an au thentic manner, the motives of a refufal fo unex, petted. " I therefore have the honour to remind your Excellency, that agreeably to the fourth pan• graph of the toth article of the Treaty of Amiens, the forces of his Britannic Majeßy were to eva cuate the &and and its dependencies in the conrfe of three months after the ratification, or boner if poffible. " This period has long ago expired. The Treaty adds, That iflani (hall be delivered tip to the Order in the !late in which it is, provided the G.and Matter, or Commiflloners fully audio riled according to the Ratifies of the Order, be in the laid ifland to take poffeffion of it, and that the forces to be furnilbed by his Sicilian Ma lay (hall have arrived.' " Thcle forces arrived long ago : Nothing then remained to he fulfilled but one condition, namely, the prefence of the Gran 4 natter, and his Com miffioners, to take poffeffion. I have the honour f obferving to your Excellency that this condition has been fulfilled by the circumilance of my arrival ,n the Viand. His Eminent Ilighnefs, the Gt 4 ;1 Mailer, has deigned to give me the quality of it Ambafrador Extraordinary and Plenipotent+a*• .v come in his name, " to treat of, negotiate, t' "u -state, accompla, and concert, with the L •_.
