At Tarbes the inhabitants evinced the best ditpo sitions to support his Highness of DALMATIA. Their exertions were, however, fruitless, for Lord WEL tiNoroN drove Sotwr out of the place on the 19th, being precitely .the day after the inhabitants had evinced their determination to support him.

After the arrival of General Thielman, with the troops under his corn- the Up ice nts %nand, the Mire of Sate-Weimar, who Commands the Allies in Belem; has laid down the plan of opo.46foons. " The 'snitslan and Saxon troopt,_ froth to 20,000 strong, which were before at Tolornai, have , Marched in all haste to repair to the neighbourhood of Maubeuge : this place, which is sdon to be Vigo rously attacked, has been already surrounded by de tachments from the garrison of Mans. The Duke of Saxe-Weimar has flied his head-tivarters at Mons, that he May be able to attend to the siege. Tournay is already occupied by Prussian and Saxon Landwehr and Volunteers In order to dis turb the enemy's line below Maubenge, considerable detachtnents have appeared before Ghent and Phi lippeville. Maubenge lies on the Sombre. Its chief strength consists in the entrenched camp which lies near it, and commands it, but as this camp is not pro perly flirnished with provisions; nor sufficiently armed, and is, besides, not occupied by any conside- Lible body of troops ) It is Intsumed that the place cannot hold out long.

CIATION. •••••=mml• The important fact is nOiv officiahy announced, by dispatches received this morning from Lord CAsTxx- REAGH, that all Negociation with the - Usurper of the 'French Throne---the Oppressor of France---the Enemy of Mankind, is broken off. Mr. Vim, the Messenger, was the bearer of fir gratifying intelligence : he came bj the way of Holland, and arrived at the Foreign Office early this morn ing. Ministers lost not a moment in apprising the Public of the event---a a letter was immediately sent' from Lord EATHIIRST to the LORD Mi6roß, by whom it was communicated to the Gentlemen at Lloyd's and the Stock Exchange by half-past 11 o'clock. The following is a copy of the LETTER TO THE LORD MAYOR 44 FOREIGN OFFICE, APRIL 2. 44 Lord BATHURST presents his compliments to the LORD MAYOR, and thinks it right to inform his Lord ship, that dispatches have arrived this morning from Lord CASTLEREAGH, stating that the Negociations at Cha till on are at an end." • Immediately after forwarding tht above letter to-the LORD MAYOR, the following Official Doeunient was is sued from the Treasury: BULLTErg. Letters are received from Lord CASTLEREAGH, dated Bar•sur-Aube, 22d ult. The Negoeiations were broken off on the 18th. 44 BONAPARTE was defeated at Arcis on the 21st by PrinceS CHWART• : , ZENBERG, and retired on ihe roads to Vitry." By the letters received from Madrid we learn that the French had evacuated Olntt, having blown up the fortification, and that it was believed they were pre paring to.evacuate Gerona. Letters from Bremen, dated March 29, say, " Cott& Von Essen, the Swedish Governor of N.Tway, has entered that country With 19,000 men.; The Danish Commandants of the fortresses of Kens winger, Frederickshall, Frederickstadt, and Agger haus, are preparing to deliver them up. Prince Christian is still there, and some malcontents are, %ally endearritiring to excite commotions." A letter front an Officer of Engineers (received yesterday), dated near Bayonne, `loth March, states, " That the siege of the citadel had not then com menced ; that the undertaking was deemed arduous, and that the troops there were unacquainted with Lord WELLINGTON'S operations subsequent to his head-quarters being at Aire. Reinforcements have arrived, but are not yet ep with us." Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house, when the following,Commanders took leave previous to departing for 'their respective desti nations, via. Captain B. KAY, of the Marchioness Of Ely, for St. Helena and Btegal ; arid Captain HARRIS, of the Prince Regent, for Madras Ind Bengal. The Fenhryer, EvAxs, from Liverpool to Rotter dam, was taken by two French loggers ; retaken by. the BEMIS sloop of war, and carried into Rams gate yesterday. L'Etoile French frigate, arrived in Hamoaze, is represented as being more au to than any vessel that has arrived for some years at Plymouth. She went into action with the HERRUS with shot-holes patched. up in every part, in consequence of her preeious-mbe* gagement with the CREOLE. The HEBRI/3 almost , eonipleted her destruction, although l'Etoile is seven feet longer, and has guns of a larger calibre. Few of the crew of the latter are seamen, but are very fine young men, mostly cannoniers. The Frenchmen I vaunt of having beaten 'the Cutor.r., and confidently boast of having caused much slaughter on board her in their contest. The latter boast is, however, disbe:' lieved at Plymouth. L'Etoile has on board the choicest of the plunder of 19 shiPs and it would be a most distressing sight to our manufacturers and merchants to behold the waste of so much precioaa property as is exeinplified on board l'Etoile, in Ha moaze. Manchester goods, cloth, muslin', silks, kc. scc. &c. lie in indiscriminate confusion on the enemy's decks. Instead of slinging the wounded in ham mocks, immense layers of broad cloths, kc. were stretched fore-and-aft, on which they lay till the ves sel's arrival in port. The Frenchmen have, however, been prevented from taking any part of the plunder away, and many of the prisoners having 'wrapped cloth, &c. round their bodies, have been recoiled.... There are on board 17 Portuguese, taken out of a slave-ship; and there are also two pretty negro girls, one of nine, and the other of 11 years of age, taken from the same vessel, whose situation should coin- Mad the notice of the philanthropist.

ON THE FRENCH COAST, MARCH 31. I haVe just receiieti the following from Paris : " Paris, March 28. Oar emperor is hear Vassy; Chaumont, mid Langres, where the Fiench army got possession of great magazines of the Allies. The Duke de Castiglione is at Dijon : but the Austrians havie entered Lyons on the 22d instant. 44 Yon may depend upon it that the Officers and , privates of the National Guards at Bourdeaux refused to hoist the white cockade.

THE QUIEN'S COURT; PRESENTATION OF HER INIIMPUL iIiGHNEss TNt DUCHESS OF OLDENSOUEO. In consequence of the arrival of the Duchess of OLDENBOURG, the departure of her Majesty the Q Aim for Windsor, as yesterday intended, was deferred For the purpose of receiving the Royal Stranger ; and orders were accordingly issued in the morning by the LORD CHAMBERLAIN far the attendance of the proper officers of the Court at the Queen's Palace.

Her Imperial Highness was conthicted to the drawing.room, and, on being introduced to the QUERN by her Chamberlain, with the usual etiquette, was received-by her MAJESTY with the most marked and dignified condescension. Her Imperial Highness appeared truly sensible of the flattering attentions shewn her by the QUEEN of Great Britain, and the several branches of the Royal FArnily present.

The Duchess of Ot.nomrnotinn returned from the Queen's Palace about six, and drove through the Stable-yard, Sc. James's, to Piccadilly. A vast body Alf persons assembled round the Queen's house, and cheered the PRINCESSU going and coming ft= Court with hirzzat. • The appearance of the band w 412 their ancient caps; and coats burdened with gold, could not fall to im press our foreign friends with an exalted idea of the magnificence of a British Court. In the evening his Royal Highness the PRINCE Re- GENT gave a grand dinner to her Imperial Highness, to meet the Queen, and a party of distinguished per sonages. At nine o'clock there was a numerous pal) , invited to a grand Concert. The Duchess of OLDENBOURG has double centi nels of grenadiers of the Guards posted in front of her Hotel, in Piccadilly.

About two o'clock, her Highness gratified them by an exhibition of her inte resting person, for some time at the open bow window of her Hotel. A Letter from Valetta, dated January SO, states I am now happy to say that he packet sails this day with a clean bill of health. Yesterday was a day of festivity ; a most solemn re DLIMI was sung, and mtlch joy manifested at our delivery from the Plague, which has not occurred (except at the Lazarettoes) in a single instance for two months past.

Two French lugger privateers appeared of here last evening, and succeeded in capturing a schconer, (a big in company). During the time the privateers were occupied in removing the crew, haulett in and ran on shore, under the protection of the Marten* Toweii, and was thus sated from capture. The guns of the M.rtello Towers were fired with a considerable promptitude, and a tiring from them was also kept up of blank cartridges during the night, to alum the •essels coating round the Fanlight. This morning Joseph Drily, May, Jahn Kean, Tho mas Richt: Iyonr, Athinton, and Thome: Smith, for forgeries ; leiCiarn Goulding, for burglary ; and William Sturman, for setting tire to his house in Half moon -street, Piccadilly,. were, pursuant to their sen tences, executed before the Debtors' Door, gewgate. The spectators which were collected on this melan choly occasion, were more numerous than has been remembered for many years pat t at an early hour they completely filled every street, avenue, &c. to witness the awful scene, which began to take place a few minutes before eight o'clock, by the Execs. ' • tioner and his Assistant ascending the scaffold, lead. ing one rf the unfortunate then, who, in a sloiv and firm step, mounted the platform, and thus proceeded to the spot allotted him: his fellow-srifferers were very soon afterwards brought forward and conduct ed in the like manner to their vari. us stations.. —This scene of arrangement WAS truly digressing. and drew tears from numbers of beholders, on ob. serving so many of their fellow creatures, in the prime of life, fast approaching their untimely ends ; some of whom leaving wives and children, the former to lament the lass of a husband, and use liter that of their father. During the short interval which was now allowed them to remain in prayer after the ropes were affixed round each, they all exhibited perfect symptoms of a resignation to meet that fate which the laws of their country had decreed them to suffer ; and which they did, with becoming fortitude, on the signal for theirdeparture out of this world being made. and all appeared to die without much struggle. Their bodies; after being suspended the usual period, were then cut down and catrled into the inner yard, in order to be delivered to their respective friends for interment. This morning, at ten o'clock, Mode: Callaghan, for the murder of Moms Manny, at Vauxhall, was exe cuted on a temporary platform, erected on the top of the New Neon, Horsemonger-lane, Southwark. He was brought from his cell at half-past nine o'clock into the Chapel, where he remained but a short time, and soots after was taken out to have his irons knocked off, previous to hii having the sacrament administered to him, in the course of which he was frequently ex horted to confess his guilt of the crime for which he was about to suffer; but all exhortations proved in vain, and in that state of hardihood which he had from the first of his commitment exhibited was he launched into eternity, and his body delivered over _ for dissection. w le sre n r c ri e. ex da e Y T cu h se t e il nn as a ig ce t h C n t d h iri ed elm in th s " f e or sc C d, a :p o u ld i r l su an in an d a t p ar t p u o lthe Silawee i t r g um ood . spirits, and on taking farewell of each other, Spencer said, " Never mind ill, we shall soon be in a better place.". . ... , • _
