Cons. for sec.'6Bl 68 An American Captain, who left a Dutch port b the 22d, reports, that before his departure it was ru moured that accounts had been received of the Aus trian Ambassador at Paris having received passports on the 18th, and set off immediately for Vienna. The rumour, he adds, had occasioned great joy in Hol land ; but its truth was not ascertained when the American sailed. A report, resting on such authority, would be en titled to very little attention, were it not; in a small degree at least, confirmed by the accounts lately re ceived by the Gottenburgh mails. That the public mind throughout Europe is, at the present moment, in a singular state of indescribable expectancy, excited by the events that have taken place in Spain and Portugal, cannot be doubted.— Every fresh arrival from the Continent may be ex pected to bring accounts of a similar complexion.— The Captain of the Nr.t.soN cutter, which arrived at Yarmouth yesterday, spoke an American vessel at sea, which left the Texel on Sunday last—two days later than the American Captain alluded to above.— He was informed by the master of this vessel, that an expectation prevailed in Holland of an approaching revolution, and that the propriety of delivering up the Dutch fleet to Admiral Russr.u.'s squadron, was the subject of general whispers, whenever the Dutch thought themselvesszfe in expressing their sentiments. Dutch Papers to the 24th inst. containing Paris news to the 19th, arrived yesterday. The accounts from Bayonne are of the 14th, and those from Ma. drid of the Bth. The latter state, that the French were in hourly expectation of receiving advice of the surrender of Saragossa, as a grand attack was to be made upon it on the sth, the army of that district .having been reinforced by 10,000 men from Pampe- luna on the preceding day. This statement affords an additional sanction to the opinion we have repeatedly expressed, that the renewed attacks of the enemy upon the city of Sara gossa have been made by fresh troops ; and the fact of the victory of General Pmatrox, of the 15th ult. having been of a decisive and signal description, I stands not only uncontradicted, but undoubted. The second assault of the Ist inst. which terminated in the discomfiture of the enemy on the following day, was doubtless made by a fresh corps drawn from the quarters we have already described ; and we are now informed that a third attack was to be made on the sth, the enemy having, on the preceding day (that is two days after their second defeat), been rein forced by ten thousand men from Pampeluna. All this was naturally to be expected, and was indeed I foretold by the brave PALAYOX himself immediately after his first victory. " Arragonese I" said that gallant Chief in his Admirable Proclamation of the 17th, " Arragonese ! be not impatient ;—the enemy " against whom we fight is rash, and will afford " frequent opportunities fcr you to exercise your " skill and your courage."—His predictions have been verified. Opportunities of the nature described by him, we know, were offered on the Ist and 2d instant, and bravely and gloriously did tits heroic Patriots avail themselves of the occasion. Another opportunity, we find, was to be afforded them on the sth ; and we trust in HIAvEN that the result has been equally propitious to the glorious and common cause of civilized man. JOSILPH BONATARTZ, it appears by the Same Pa pers, continues his slow and cautious progress into; Spain. The accounts, however, carry him no fur ther than Vittoria, where he remained on the 12th, " receiving the homage of the Constituted Autho rities," and, as the French Papers add, " that of all the well-dittosed inhabitants." It was reported in Holland on Saturday last, that a severe battle had been fought on the 13th; Itt Liar. garus, between the Spanish Patriots under Gene ral Ponre., and the French who had fled from St. Andero, reinforced by a corps of seven or eight thousand men from Bilboa, which terminated in the defeat of the enemy, and that the victors were in full march towards Bilboa. This may be a rational anticipation of a very probable fact.— The enemy in that quarter has, in all likelihood, 'ere this, been defeated ; but the official accounts, received by Government, are of so late a date as the lSth, at which time nothing important had occurred, since the evacuation of St. Andero by the enemy on the 12th. Dispatches for Sir HAIRY BURRARD were lact night sent from Lord CasvutßsAcm's Office, to be forwarded f •om Portsmouth, by the FYLiat frigate, in the event of the Beet having sailed. The JAuke of GLoucssres arrived in town on Tue..day, from Bagshot. 411110. • . ... G111247,274i, JUNE 20. My last was of the lath itta. [Set die STAR of Thursday last] since which we have received no news of importance from Spain. The Malta convoy, which arrived here on the 15th, under convoy of the QUEEN 'and ttaZDICE, still remains in the Bay. The ships have attempted . to get out several times, but have been put back by conitu7 winds. " Six transports were yesterday ordered to be got ready with all possible dispatch to go over to Ceuta tobring over some Spanish troops which are still there, but this morning the orders were countermanded by Lord COLLINGIFOOD. " In consequence of the change that has taken place its Spain, we are now regularly and well supplied with fresh provisions and vegetables, a circumstance which adds not a little to the health and comfort of the troops." AMERICAN FUNDS. The following Circular Letttr be read with much surprise by all who have mottervested in the American Funds. When the Bank of alt Visited States was fist instituted, it engaged to pay all di vidends due to foreigners upon capital vested in the American Funds, at the several countries in which the holders of such stock should reside, and these free of any expence or charges whatever, as well as any abatement arising from a difference in the course of exchange. From this solemn atreement, owing to the liberal nature of which, vast sums have been vested in the American funds, it is now found con venient to depart. In consequence of the embargo, the course of exchange is very much against that country ; and the Bank, rather than support the loss which would result front paying the dividends. to fo reigners, in the mode and on the terms it originally pledged itself to, has thought proper to adopt ano ther arrangement : At a Meeting of the President and Directors of the Bank of the United States, on the 13th of May, 1808, the following Re port was approved, viz. The Committee appointed to consider what measures ought,in their opinion, to be pursued by the Directors of this Bank, respect ing the Stockholders of the United States Funded Debt, who re side in Europe, and have empowered the Bank to remit the divi dends received on their account, respectfully submit the following resolution: " That the Cashier of this Bank be, and he hereby is, directed to Inform the Stockholders of the United States Funded Debt, who reside in Europe, and have empow ered the Bank to remit, for their account and risk, the dividends received theroon, that, during the present Embargo, and the general deranged state of Commerce, it will not be possible to purchase Bills of Exchange, except at an unusually high price, which must necessarily subject those stockholders to a guy heavy loss : That, under circum stances so much to be regretted, it is the desire of the Directork of this Bank, that the said Stockholders would, as soon as possi ble, give positive directions to the Cashier, either to continue his purchase of hills, if any can be obtained, at their current price, and to remit them, as usual, to their agents, or to have the amount of their dividends remain to their credit on the books of the United States, unless they should prefer their being received and deposited for their account at this Bank. Attested, "D. Ltsmor,President. " G. SIMPSON, Cashier." The above will probably have the effect to make all the British holders of American Stock bring their property back to this country, as soon as they can do so without making too great a sacrifice by the transfer. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY ar rived at the Queen's Palace, from Windsor. At two o'clock his MAJESTY held a private Levee, vehich was attended by The Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Dublin, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the three Secre taries of State, the first Lord of the Admiralty, the Muter Go octal of the Ordnance. the President of the Board of Trade, the Recorder of London, Lords Heathlield and Wentworth, Sir S. Cotterell, and General Sherbrook. The following had the honour of being presented to his Majesty : Major-General Snensions, nn his return from and command in Sicily, and on his being appointed Colonel of tke Sicilian Re giment. The Archbishop of Dublin took leave of his Ma jesty, previous to his departure for Ffublin. His Maje,ty held a Privy Council, and gave 'mai ence to the Cabinet Ministers. The Recorder laid.heforc his Majesty the report of the following ten convicts, capitally convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions, viz. 1. West, for a burglary in the dwelling-house of I. Hanson— !. Flnith and C. Meyrick, for a likc offence in the dwelling-house of 1. Davis—W Bowen, for stealing a watch and money in the dwelling-house of R. Shuttleworth—E. (alia: G.) Rouse, for steal ing the dwelling-louse of R. Monday, for steal ing a-3E SO Bank. Note, the property of B. Parkhurst, in the dwell ing-house of T. Scott—NV. Fazalierley, for stealing a watch, a gold chain, and a seal, in the dwelling-house of T. Edsics—L. Lyon and it. Whittingham, for stealing in the dwelling-house of G. Hatton-2nd w. Bumpstead, for ,haling Bank Notes and monies, value .C:ICS and upwards, in the dwelling-house of C.T. P. Attis. ----They were all respitcd during his Majesty's pleasure. Friday morning Captain MONROE'S company of Royal Artillery marched from the Artillery Bari acks, Brompton, on their route to Canterbury. A company of artillery is under orders for foreign service. The 18th Regiment of Light Dragoons from Rumford, arrived at Northfleet, and began on Mon day to embark for foreign service. Pcouc OFFICE, MisoLsoaation-starnr.—Yester. day William Clarke, a neat-herd, near Lisson Green, was charged with burglary in the house of William Pentecost, a master carpenter, rear Baker-Street— From a charge of burglary, this case turned, al though in an humble state of life, to a Crim. Con. „charge. That not being fully substantiated, and the charge of the prisoner opening a window to obtain access to his wife, who was a servant in the house of the prosecutor, being . fully proved, the Magistrate was tinder the necessity of ordering the prisoner to find bail, to take his trial at the next Sessions in the Old Bailey. The prisoner's witness, to prove the guilt of his wife and the plaintiff, did not attend. THE EXPEDITION. --- The forage baying been got on board, most of the ships had, according to order, dropped down to St. Helen's on Tuesday evening, and most of the Officers had gone on board. Yesterday morning, the wi the. nd „having come round , Sir Joao MOORE andinost of Staff went on board ; but tough the wind, during the whole of yesterday, continued as fair as it could blow, yet at the time the mail left Portsmouth, the whole of the fleet remained at St. Helen's. This we cannot help ?evening, proceed from what cause it may, since not only every day, but every hour that such a formidable armament is detained from its des tination, may be productive of consequences that mar defeat the fondest expectations. Te following are nearly the heads of the Staff : LieuteGeneral Sir Hatur Bottum), of the Guards. --Sir !eau MOORE, of the Std Regiment. —..-------- J ou w Herr ,92d Regiment (Gordon Highlanders). ...------------- M‘Kr NZ =Few z ra,73th(Ross-shireHighlanders -Lord PAGET, 7th or Queen's Light Pigeons. .Major-General MUIZAT, Ro)ml Regiment of Malts. --.----------- Honourable E.

The army amounts to nearly 14,000 men, and a better appointed or finer corps never left the pountry. Among many fine regiments the 4th, 28th, slid 92d, have often distinguished themselves, and are called crack regiments throughout the British army, more particularly the 4th, (or King's regiment.) On the Spanish and Portuguese territory, we will likewise have as officers some of the greatest prowess that ever graced our annals. More popular and more distinguished than Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, Sir JOHN MOORE, and General Join; HOPE, never appeared in modem times. THE NEW EXPEDITION. Transports, to the amount of 5000 tons, - are to,as-. semble in the Downs, and proceed to Cork , without delay, where another embarkation of troops is to tales. place. " CORK. JULY 23. a Another expedition will shortly sail from this port. The Ist battalion of the 26th, or . Carneronians ; the 2d battalion of the • 14th, the Sdhattalion of tht Royals, and the Sd battalion of the 27th;with sotrie Itroops of Cavalry, have received the 'r route, for this City, in order to embark for foreign service, and the transports for their reception may be daily expected." . s , DOVER, JULY 27. " The wind having again got round from the east• ward this morning, a fleet of transports (about 50) came out of the Downs and have proceeded on their voyage to Cork, where they are to take on bond troops ; they are provisioned for ten weeks. " Wind E. N. E. and blows a fine fresh gale." We stop the Fress to state, that accounts were this day received from Sir ARTHUR WEl.LrsLav, dated on Thursday, the 21st inst. on which day the Transports, with the troops, were off Corunna, all well. Sir ARTHUR had been ashore himself at Corunna, and found the people were in the best disposition, not at all disheartened by the late reverse which Cutsx.t had experienced. The French had suffered most severely in that ac tion. Sir ARTHUR was received with the greatest r.:spect. After being ashore a short time he r,nurncd to his ship, and proceeded - on his dcsfnit:oa. •We ar Loney hope that no time will)be i n lost in ex pediting the fourth expedition. Besides a corps of heavy artillery, it -is said,:ffrat ten regiments of heavy and light cavalry will go with: it, and two brigades of the Foot Guards. Why lkdt send the whole of this force ? The two re intents - of Life Guards might do all the necessary duty about London at present. Why are not men of such hish name as Lord CATHCART, SIT DAVID BAIRD, and Sir' SAMUEL. AUCIIMOTT employed at the present moment? Yesterday, agreeably to the General Orders for, cropping the army, the Non-commissioned Officers and Privates appeared upon the Parade, in St. James's Park, divested of their queue:. Friday, the Royal South Gloucester Militia was reviewed by Lieutenant-General Lord C. SOMERSET, on the Level at Brighton, preparatory to the Grand Review, which is to take place on the Downs, on the PRINCE'S Birth-day. Lord BERICELEY was so much afflicted with a fit of the gout, that he found - himself incapable of heading his regimeat at the above Re- I view. The Sussex Regiment will march from Steyning, and encamp on the Level, on the 10th of August, to assist at the Grand Review, on the 12th, and on the 14th, will strike their tents, and return to their Bar racks at Steyning. Tuesday evening, the Duke of Nowruusenzntrum arrived atWindsor, to review the Royal Horse Guards (Blues), of which he is Colonel. R4vricim INTELLVSNC.E. FALMOUTH, JULY 45.
