His Majesty's ships Bzumstat (Capt. Cocnamts), INTREPID, and RAWLINS, of the line, BLONDE and ACASTA frigates, with five or six smaller vessels, re. main here.—A report prevailed here, that a French ship of the line and one armed enjute had arrived at Martinique, vessels of that description having chaced his Majesty's brig JULIA to windward. His, Majesty's ships CAPTAIN and Btozinz were sent to reconnoitre the harbour at Martinique, but saw nothing of them. 44 His Majesty's ship NITLEY upset in a Squall off this place, and the whole of the crew perished, except a midshipman of the name of Rowe, and eight sea men, who were picked up by the Julia. 44 The ships bound to Great Britain, &c. are to sail ro m hence the 16th inst. to join the convoy at Tor tola.—The French privateer le Franchise, of 9 guns and 70 men, was captured to windward, by his Ma jesty's brig BELLITE, and brought in here. The first of June packet, from Falmouth, arrived here on the Sd inst. The Prince of Asturias, —, from Cork for this place, is captured by the Renommee French privateer, and carried to Martinique—the Captain is slightly wounded." DATE. " The KINGFISHER arrived yesterday with dis patches from Lord Cou.mowoon to Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE, who dispatched immediately the AcAsrA frigate, Captain BEAVER, to the Spanish Main. Her route is to the island of Margarita first, and after wards to Barcelona and Cumana : she takes 132 Spanish prisoners, whom the Admiral has liberated, from hence ; and it is intended to offer a free com merce between the Main and these Colonies. Sir A. COCHRANE has issued orders to the vessels under his command, not to molest any Spanish vessels. de We have no hopes of the embargo being taken off in America before December. Provisions and lumber are consequently at a very high price through out these Colonies. The supplies we receive of the former, from Halifax and Liverpool, are so inade quate to the demand, that they produce no change in the market. The squadron under Sir A. COCHRANE, consist ing of the BELLEISLE (flag), RAstmies, YORE, CAP TAIN, 74's, and INTREPID, 64, are at anchor in Car lisle Bay, waiting orders, as we understand, from home. di A melancholy accident took place the other even ing, by which his Majesty lost about 70 seamen and officers in the Nartity sloop of war, commanded by Capt. CNA/MRS BURMAN : she left Carlisle Bay about sun-set, with an intention of going to the Northward, in search of a privateer reported to be hovering about the island, and about eight o'clock was struck by a tremendous squall, which upset her. In less than.two minutes she sunk, and all, who were not on deck, were drowned in their beds: a midshipman and eight men were picked up by the JULIA sloop of war, five hours after, floating on spars, and whatever the mo ment offered for their escape. " The JULIA herself was taken aback in the same squall; but weathered it from being more stiff than the unfortunate NrrLEY." ARRIVAL OF AN EAST-INDIA FLEET, AND CAPTURE OF THE FRENCH FRIGATE PIEDMONTAISE. The following ships arrived in the Downs the 14th instant, ander convoy of his Majesty's ship MON stouru—sailed from Point de Galle the 14th Marth, under convoy of the MoNmotrrx, and left St. Helena the 19th June : The MARQUIS WELLESLET, E4SFIL VOWN LADY CASTLEREAGH, SURREY, LORD HAWEIHOHNIWAIRLISY CASTLE, CASTLE EDEN, LORD DUNCAJ 'CLTY *.

The Pursers of several of the Indiamen, and a great number of passengers, landed at Dover yesterday. The MONMOUTH and her convoy left St. Helena the 19th June, and have brought home with them the celebra ted French frigate Piedmontaise, which has done so much mischief to our shipping in the Indian Seas. The Piedmontaise was captured by the ST. Fonammo frigate, Captain HARDING,/ after a running fight of three days, during which the French lost 150 men in killed and wounded, including their Captain. It is with regret we add, that the country has to lament the loss of a brave officer in the death of Captain•HAR DINGE, of the ST. FIORENZO, who was killed along with 27 of his crew during the heat of the action. Other accounts state, that the action lasted only four hours. The Piedmontaise was superior to the Sr. FIORINZO in point of metal, the former carrying 44, and the latter only 36 guns. Since our last, Papers and letters to the 10th inst. have arrived from Holland. The letters state, as does also a Gentleman who left the Hague on the 9th inst. that the Austrian armies were already in motion and expected to be on the frontiers early this month. The letters also state that there Is great dis- I content in Holland, occasioned partly by the de ! pressed state of their commerce, partly by the expec tation of orders for a new conscription in Holland The opposition to the conscription still continues in the Duchy of Berg and the adjacent districts. To enforce the former conscription in the countries on the Right Bank of the Rhine, the French Comman. ders had issued a Proclamation, threatening every Conscript who did not come forward in a specified time with outlawry, and deprivation of tke rights of citizenship. The Paris Journals to the sth instant inclusive are stated to be entirely silent with respect to Spain. The French Funds had fallen considers. bly. Amongst other rumours current in Holland it was said, that an insurrection had broken out at Paris, which was with great difficulty suppressed.—The prices of Colonial produce were also said to have I fallen considerably: The levy of troops_ is carried on' with extreme ac tivity in Poland, and the Polish Legion has been hal ted on its march to the scene of war in the south. A large body of French troops is assembling at Wurtz. burgh, said to be destined for Italy, but more proba- , bly with a view to make an irruption into Bohemial through Franconia. A letter from Amsterdam states, that a Russian Courier carrying dispatches from Prince Woaotisnr, at Vienna, to Petersburgh, has been assassinated in the Department of La Meurte. An Austrian Courier from Vienna, to Baron VINCENT, was some time be fore attacked in the same place, and narrowly es caped with his life. This is not the first instance we have had to record since the commencement of the French Revolution, of the murder of Couriers for the purpose of obtaining possession of their dispatches., Accounts by another conveyance state, that an or der had been issued in Holland, requiring 4 , that the names of all the males In the country, between the ages of fourteen and forty, should be posted up on the church doors, and other public places : that they should be all obliged to attend, when called on, or be subjected, without mercy, to military execution. In consequence of this Mandate, dreadful tumult was spreading over the country, and the most serious con sequences were apprehended." These papers mention, that NAPOLEON was expec t ted back at Rambouillet on his birth day, the I4th of August.—The Monitair of the Ist instant says— , Her Majesty the Queen of NAPLES, now Queen of SPAtn,'arrived at Lyons on the 20th instant, at ten at n;ght. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. Our Readers will see the arrival of several vessels from Oporto and Gibraltar, announced in our Naati. cal Intelligence. i A Gentleman, who was landed from one of them at Dover yesterday evening, states, that as the vessel came over the Bar of Oporto, a pilot-boat brought them the news that intelligence had just arrived of the Spanish Pitriocs having defeated the French army near Madride.

Chace from amongst you those wretched brigands of which the only aim is to pillage your tcwns ; merit ycur pardon by a quick submission—by a prompt obedience to my orders; or behold the punishment that awaits you. • ' " Every village or town in which the people have taken up arms against my army, and of which the, inhabitants have fired upon my troops, shall be deli... were," tip to pillage and entirely destroyed, and the inb ibitants shall be put to the sword.

JUNOT had marched out of Fort St. Julian, with about 8000 men, but for what object we have not yet learnt. It appears, however, that his friends the Rus. :ions were undqr some apprehensions respecting his designs ; for it was known before the Encounter came away that the officers belonging to the Russian ships had landed the principal part of their crews, who were then throwing up works on the opposite side of the river to that on which fort St. Julian is posted, to cover their fleet, should the French make any attempt to attack them. There is something very strange in all this, but it is more than probable that a good understanding does not subsist between the French and Russians. This conjecture receives some degree of probability from the following circumstance :. —The Russian Admiral I had actlally sent a flag of truce to Admiral Sir 1 I CHARLI3 Corroer, commanding the British ships off the Tagus, for the purpose of enquiring 44 what news , from England, as he had not heard from his Court for four months ; nor had the French received any 1 instructions for three months." • Mr. BASILIC:Op who lately • carried out dispatchet for Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, came home in the EN COUNTER, and was the bearer of dispatches from Sir ARTHUR with which he arrived at Downing-street, this morning. The next arrival may be expected tb trtng ac'. counts of the surrender of JUNOT, and also of •the Russian fleet, as it was understood that Sir ARTHUR r was determined not to lose a moment in his operations 1 1 after being joined by General SPENCRR. All doubts, if any were entertained, respecting the surrender of DUPONT, may be considered as now at an end. The Polly . from Gibraltar -for Gueraiey, which sailed from the former place on the 24th Olt. and has arrived at Plymouth, states, that at the time she sailed there was a general illumination at C;112.. raltar,- and on beard the ships of war in the bay, official accounts having been just received by the Go venor of the surrender of DUPONT. We have given, in our preceding columns, a Pro clamation issued at Lisbon by Juxor, signed under his new title of Duke of ABRANTES. Every line of it breathes the imminent danger of his situation, and his terrors at the rising spirit of the Country. The 'ferocious threat with which it concludes, is the lan guage of a barbarian driven to despair. The Gazette of Saturday night contains Addresses I to his MAJESTY, from the cities of Dublin , Norwich, land Bristol, and the Merchants of Glasgow, and the Presbytery of Kircudbright, in congratulation of the glorious cause of the Spanish and Portuguese nations. The troops which lately arrived from Gottenburgh under Sir Joni; MOORS, but now under the . command of Sir HARRY BURRARD, and which sailed from Ports mouth on the 2d inst. for Portugal, did not get down off Falmouth till Monday last, when they were in lull view from Pendennis Castle. They amounted to about 24.0 sail, ender convoy of the AUDACIOUS 74, &c. and carried one of the finest arm es that ever sailed from England, amounting to 14,000 men. It then blew fresh from the south-west, and in the evening great part of them were lying-to in the bay between Fal mouth and the Manacles. Early on Tuesday morn ing a fine breeze sprung up to the Northward, and at SA. M. they were all out of sight. Four or live of them had sustained damago by running foul of each other in the Channel, and one of them was observed to be in tow of a frigate. The wind continued to blow smartly from the North, till about ten o'clock on Wednesday morni.l;, when it changed to West, and from thence to South. But there is reason to be. lieve that they carried the fair wind far with them s by this time, we trust, they have made Cape Finis. 'tare. There can be no doubt, however, that the 2d and 20th regiments, which left Falmouth for Porta• gal under General ACKLAND, after this expedition had sailed from Portsmouth, will be there nearly a week before them. So tedious to a large fleet is the navigation of a narrow seal • Ritviaw.—The whole of the military force in Sus sex and the nighest parts of the adjacent counties were reviewed on Friday at Brighton, in compliment to his Royal Highness the Prince of WALEs, on his natal anniversary. So early as seven o'clock all the windows in front of the Pavilion, Marine and Grand Parade, were filled withladies and gentlemen, provided with glasses, and all eager to have a complete view of the scene. — About nine the Prince's band, dressed in new uni form, began playing on the lawny where .they con tinued until eleven o'clock, by which time every avenue to the Pavilion was surrounded with company, to see the Royal party proceed to Newmarket Hill. At half past eleven they yrere gratified by the appear ance of the cavalcade ; it consisted of near fifty per sons. His Royal Highness proceeded to the Hill I m oun ted on a grey charger, richly caparisoned, the saddle-cloth being of scarlet, richly embroidered in gold ; the bridle was ornamented at the horse's bead with bullion tassels, covered with shells; the stirrups were of solid gold. His Royal Highness was dressed in the uniform' of the 10th, and wore a superb dia mond star on his bouts& The Duke of YORK was on the right side of his Royal Brother ; alltke Royal Dlifei," who iiere — Wrifisa imiforin; followed on horseback, except the tluke of Sussex, who sat in one of the carriages. They proceeded to Newmarket Hill, which of the grandest military 'spectacles ever witness!' sit that, part. The line was formed of near 12,000 men, and extended near three miles. The fineness of the day gave full effect to the scene, which exhibited near 0,000 spectators, and the ntost numerous display of equipages ever collected rtogether on that coast. As soon as the Royal Party arrived, a salute of 21 guns w...s fired from the artil• lery, which was on the right of the line. The Royal Party proceeded down the line, and returned to the . centre. The men then fired a flu de jut in honour of the day, which was answered by the 'shipping.-- The troops after 'the review; -gwve his Royal tiighness cheers. . 4
