The fleet cent at sea the 2d and sd, in presence of the English fleet, comisting of seventeen ships, arid several frigates. The -Admiral, during these two days, kept always the adrantage • of the wind, and neared the enemy several times, so that lie censtantly kept them in check, without engaging himself in au affair which would have 'been too unequal.

Friday Lord Cocu ANE had a long interview with 7Lorci NIELVILLL, previous to his leaving town on a secret oexpedition. e arrival of mails from Anholt on Friday, various intelli en e has been received concerning the affairs of the :tie th he letters frcon St. Petershurgh are to the z3lst blt. it was considered there,. that the pretensions of BCON A PARTE weu'd render the preservation of peace with France impracticable, though Russia would not he the first to corn 'tepee hostilities. No former exigency had called forth, in an equal degree, the military resources of Russia; nor bad she ever sent into the field so numelous, and so well ap pointed an army. It was thought that peace with the Porte would not be long delayed. Jealousies and disagreements, ich wet e naturally to he expeved, haie baiken out be the French and Prussian !r.nips.

A travail, who left Frankfort otrthoOder, twelve days ago, states that the public road.; were every where cover .4 with dead horses, and that a grout number of the inhabitants had•left their homes, to avoid the iN (new th y received from the foreign troops, the latter having r e d. ously robbed them of all the little provi,ion they had yet left." Atiiicliguland mail .arrived on Friday with adviees from , that Is! and t the 20th instant. All communication etwee that place and the Continent remained completely cut uff, Of course the mail has brought no intelligence of iinpor- tance. Two foteign noblemen of distinction landed on Friday at Harwich, from the Lord Nelson packet, which brought over the last mail from Anholt. It is supposed that they are charged with an important mission to our Government from the Court of Rctersburgh. The Madrid Gazette of the Bth of May, contains an Ad dress delivered to JOSEPH by the Corregidor of Madrid, 3t the head of the Municipality, in which he states the cviis that afflict the people of that city—" That the hosritati, poor-houses, houses .of correction, and similar estailio• ments, contain no fewer than 8000 individuals, who receive their daily aliment through the hands of the Municipality. This excessive number, however, constitutes but a small fraction compared ,with those who languish and soffer,in private houses, in streets, and in chambers, which resound with their doleful clamours, and which menace the dreadful political concussions. while a numerous army con sumes all the scanty produce of an exhausted country." The Address concludes by praying that the Cortes of the King dom may be convoked. JOSEPH, in his answer, admits that such a measure is proper, but postpones it till his entrance into the Andalusias, a design, the execution of which is still prevented. He also tells them that "the independence, tht integrity of Spain, even its very political existence, abso lutely depend on its alliance with France. . The most recent intelligence from the coast of Francs, continues to mention diAto trances throughout that country, on atccount of the dearness and scarcity of bread- Brittany, it is stated, that it had risen firm four to fifteen sous per potTnd. Farmers were afraid to...brieg corn to mat ket. A snob had destroyed what was brought to .Mor laix on the sth instant. They were quelled by the mi;itary. A private communication from Paris states,- that intelli gence had been received theremf the death of Lotus Buos PARTS, the late King of Holland; who, we believe, wac very worthy, unaffending man. tie is said to have died at Gratz, in Silesia, about the middle of June; and to :Faye bequeathed to that town the little property of which he (bed poscessed, in return for the friendly reception with wbieb he bad been there honoured. We know not whellier event . may lie publicly known at Paris ; but we cann ot omit the opportunity of mentionin g, that no French j o urnal has, we believe, noticed to this day, the.tlight of I.xcir!; 111:43N AP ARTr. to England—so freely does the great illumi nator of mankind stiffer intelkence to be circulated in 1" doininiGns. All the letters which we have seen from Lisbon describe the Army in the Peninsula to he in a more healthy state than ever it has been, the greatest part of the wounded having recovered and joined. The general expectation was, that Lord WEL L ING TON would soon start anew; as he was only waiting to get hi* cavalry into order.
