THE -NATION AI, RECIS/TAL who, it is asserted from the same quarter, prefers Ind,eavoluing to terminate the .Spanish war at once, to opening a fresh campaign in the north, a per mission to import a certain quantity of British mer chandize equal to the wants of the population of Russia alone. This condescension on the part of the French Emperor, if the account be true, whilst it satisfies the Wishes and pacifies the mock-hostility of the Russian Autocrat, bares his chains to the eyes of the world, and proves both his venality and folly. Pt Mail from Anholt has brought letters from St. Petersburgh to the 16th. In these it is stated with greater confidence than ever, that all matters in dispute between Russia and France have been finally adjusted. The letters from Berlin and Memel seem to cor roborate the above report of the pacific termination of the discussions between France and Russia. They sta•e, that a number of the officers belonging to the Prussian army had received leave of absence ; and from their being no occasion for their immedi ate services, it was inferred that all jealousy between France and Russia had ceased. The French sta tioned in the several Baltic ports had orders to pre vent the exportation of Prussian produce, until the whole of the contributions were paid which had been imposed on that unfortunate country. It w, , .s believed at Petersburgh, that peace with Turkey had been either actually signed, or was on the eve of being so. The exchange on London had risen considerably ; the letters of the Ist stated it at 14d. Accounts had reached Petersburgh, that 40 vessels at Archangel laden with Russian pro duce had been partly lost, and others of them da- In aged by the breaking up of the ice. • We give SouLT's account of " his victory l" at Albuera, in another part of our Paper. It will be found a pretty correct statement of the events of the dry, from which he deduces consequences evi dently false ; as from his own account it is clear, that he must have been defeated, since he acknow ledges that he left several hundreds, of his wounded! on the field of battle. He expresses his intention, after joining his reinforcements, of seeking the Allied Army again and " completing their defeat !" The Moniteur of the 18th contains a long article, under the head of News from the Army of Spain. It relates entirely to the proceedings of Suchet against the fort of Oliva before Tarragona. The operations began on the 3d of May, and concluded on the 29th, when the fort was stormed and taken, after a most obstinate resistance. The garrison of Tarragona had previously made several sorties, par ticularly on the 14th, with 6000 men. A very sharp action took place, in which our squadron took part, consisting of a 74 gun ship, a cut-down ship, two frigates, and several other vessels. This • squadron brought the Spanish General Campo Verde to Tarragona. The French General Salme was killed. Nine hundred prisoners were taken at Oliva. On the 30th May the garrison of Tarragona at. tempted to retake the fort, but without effect.— French Funds 79f. 55 c. We extract the following paragraph front an Evening Paper r--44 The following story is in circu lation in the political circles. It is said, that just before a Gentleman, who recently arrived in this country from Sicily left that island, a flag of truce arrived from Naples, with a letter addressed to the Marquis of B. The person who brought the letter was told that Lord B. was not in -the island, nor was he expected ; but he so strongly urged the ne cessity of opening it, alleging that it came immedi. ately from Paris, and might contain matters of im portace, that at length it was deemed advisable to break it open. The letter, it is said, was signed by Buonaparte himself, and signified, that as he un derstood that Lord B. had been advised to visit a mild climate, he was at liberty to take up his abode as long as he pleased in any part of the French Em pire; and stating, that he was induced to make this offer, as he had reason to believe that it would be gratifying to two English Gentlemen whom he much respected." On Monday a Deputation of Merchants from all the principal towns connected with West India pro duce waited on Mr. Perceval, and presented a re presentation of the lamentable state of the trade ; and of the inevitable consequences of the total want of a market. TI IE P.ENINiUI. A. No further dispatches have been received ; but it is said that it is the intention of the French to concentrate the whole of their force in the course of the summer in Spain, and risk the fate of the Penin sula on a single battle. The whole of the enemy's forces in Spain amount to 125,000, and that of the Allies, exclusive of the guerrilas, to 110,000 men. If General MA IMONT contemplates 'a plan of such magnitude, he must evacuate all the fortresses, and the conflict will he most tremendous. Should he be defeated,the Peninsulauill be freed from the French, and BUON APA RTE will not presume again to attempt 'the subjugation of Spain. . Bulletin of his Majesty's health issued on Sunday: " Windsor Castle, June 11.—His MAJESTY appears to have been a little better this week than the week precedinz." The report of the state of the KING, yester day, was, that he was no worse, but much in t)he same state as he had been on Thursdily, VAUXIIALI, GARDENS. The unexampled fineness of the weather has been such that these beautifully rural and splendidly commodious Gardens, were very fashionably attended during the week. On Friday night they were crowded at a very early hour, and the company continued to enjoy the amusements of these " beauteous Gar dens" till the purple in the Eastern sky announced the dawn of morn. The vocal Performers were peculiarly successful, and the Fire-works had a most admirable effect. Among the ;out patly we noticed the following:— The Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Duchess of Manchester, Lord Dillon, Lord and Lady Ponsonby, Lord Clifford, Lady De Grey, Lady Hamilton, Lord C. Bentifick,.Lady Harring ton, Lord G. Cavendish, Lord Folkstope, Lord Paulet, Lady Pomfret, Lord Say and Self, ' Lord De Dunstanville, and Cho- C..lue.a.
