By a private letter from Rotterdam., it appears that the eitionge decision of Russia has at length becsowe a subject of speculation on the Continent a—bet cordial CO -ope rat to n with N A POLEON begins te be there dontseed ; and the demonstration of attack upon her ports its the Baltic, is supposed to be n ell calculated to usaka: a strong impression en the minds of those possessing influence with the mass in Russia. It is not a little extraordi. airy, that the politics of the Court of Peters. burgh, under two successire Monarchs—from C4IIKIOS precisely sinsitar—female influence—should have been eatirafy node.w the controul of France. It might hereasonably 'opposed that these striking • rsa i roples would be a salutary'lesson to those who affect to rielv . tiss influence of courtesans on maxi in high official stafidos, as a mere venial irregularity.

The disastrous state of French affairs in Spoils, hue usehed Holland 4,t and the rumour of kin imams having put himself at the head of the French troops fur the purpose of quelling the in. urgent., is, without hesitation, construed into a preparation for once more retiring from Spats.. Should this event actually happen, it will, per. haps, require more than the elesparice of his bro.'; !her NAPuLIIOII to induce him to resume that. Cruet', in which be has hitherto found only thorns. Of the probability of such a report, ear means of forming a correct opinion are imperfect; but from the Portuguese papers it appears, that Sir AILTHUO Waccastev has at length announced his intention of advancing upon Madrid.— Government were said last night to have received a telegraphic dispatch announcing not only this event, hut also the junction of the British army with that of CVEsTA.-6A report is prevalent in Portugal, of the French Marshals having received orders to evacuate the Peninsula—but this must be considered as mere report. Whether, in the geese of JOSEPH'S retiring from Madrid, he will return to France, or wait behind the Ebro with the French force, is a question of great interest, which it is, however, somewhat premature to discuss, until we have more correct information ors the real state of affairs in Madrid.—lt appears wholly uuimpurtant as to the result tif the coated for Spain, whether it is, or is not evaesiated...for the fate of Spain is certainly de. pesideut un the issue of the contest on thu ache. 111 NAPOLZOS succeeds there—what ob. dads will be presented to the renewal of his at. tack on Spilka ?

It is from this City that all the Oib. I vial Proclamations arc Issued. The Caskttte of 'he 16th instant contained au article dated fives the head.qaartcrs. It appears from it that the whole day of the 14th Juno was passed in ex. pectation of a general attack from the gtand French Army. The aimiversary of the Battle of Alarengo induced a belief that the French would celebrate that day by some enterprise. The Gazette of Prague, on the 12th, pre an. other Bulletin of the Aubtrian Army, dated Wol. kersdurf. It is there said, that it was against the Archduke John that the French directed their efforts, to celebrate the Battle of Marengo. But it is to be remarked, that this Prince, to whom the Bulletin before the last had assigned 60,000 men, had only 36,000 as soon as it was known that he was defeated. • 44 Besides," says the account, " out of this rnumber then were only tO,OOO regular troops; the other 16,000 belonged to the Hungarian Is. surrection, who could net stand when they were attached by 50,000 French. This right wing Raring given way, the Archduke John found it convenient for the execution of his principal plan to fall back upon Comorn. This slight check has produce!! ITO essential change in the positions of the Austrian army. It lust in this battle IWO men killed and wounded." Sach are, •erbatim, the last lines of the Bul. Min.

Gen. Sebastiani several limes, in vain, offered them battle. The rebels, note ithstanding their [lum bers, always retreated as soon as he approached them. The King has resolved to go to the places to endeavour to bring these bands to an en gagement, who eau only escape our troops by eight, and who they have only to wait for to be de. stroyed. They are commanded by a person named Venegas, who has in.:n already so well beaten at I.7cles.

" A. WELLESLLY." (l4rMa Diary, Jam li.) !Assort, June 17.—The Governor of Oporto, General Treat, les issued a Proclamation, drted head-quarters, Oporto, 12th June, directing all the Portuguese troops dispersed in cunsectuence of the last occupation of Oporto by the French, im mediately to rejoin their different corps, on pain of being apprehended and punished, according to the articles of war.—( Lisbon Diarjh June 27.) The following notice has been published at Oporto : " The Hoard of Commissioners appointed by his F. zeeilenry the Governor of this plater, Gen. Trani, to 9eme all property belonging to the intruded remelt Grownsinent, makes known to all persons of every quality and description in (hi, city and its district, as well as in t he province of the north, that they are to be acesontable for all sock sums of money, plate, pron i- Woos, starlike stores, and all other erect', as shall not be de clared to this Hoard a ithitt eight days, by those a ho inhabit this city. and a ithin twenty drys by those who reside in the other provinces; and they shall also be tried by the criminal tribunal of this city, and, if convicted, panished as guilty of embezzlement and theft. With regard to the l'ortupose and allied nation's etrect., rights, and claims, which, so conse quence of the oectqattion of the French, were seized upon by the .aid Mewled Government, the re-pective proprietors thereof may address their claims to this Board. " MACUBAM FULVAS. " MOMS lEN 808 LS." ( The same Paper of beacTid June.) COIMBRA, Ju 22.—They write from Vs, lencia, under date of the 10th of June, that af. ter the battle of St. Payo, the French retreated to Pontesedra, where they were attacked by Go:. Murillo, and defeated with considerable loss; . they then retreated to Chides, and farther to Sao. tiago : 6000 English arc expected to disembark in Vigo. Letters from Bassin, in Catalonia, advise, that the Germans continue to desert, and that the in. habitants of Amptirdan have risen in a mass against the French. In letters from Tarasa, a ',volution is said to have taken Om in Barcelona against the French. Victor is at Torremacha with 6000 mcn ; in Ida!parted* are 1500 ; lApisse has as many ; Muslin Is at the bead of 2000 men in Moutanches, and another General is with 1500 in Acquijela. The rest of the French 'force in Spain, which is estimated at 141,000 men, are di vided into detachments which over-run and rub the country. A division of 3000 men arrived on the 12th inst. in Nlinda, where it was joined on the lath by a corps from Conventual, and then marched to Mirandilla and Aleuescar. They write from It haulm, under date of the 12th inst. and from Castello Blanco on the 13th, that a corps of 7000 men were assembled there, and a park of artillery was expected. On the 10th the French attempted to pass the bridge of A leantara, but it was broken down by our troops. The French made preparations to retreat to Madrid on the approach of the combined army.—(.Minerva Lupitania l June 42.) CLIAVES, Jume 13.—Intelligence was .yester day received, that the division of Manhai Ney is marching to Cnstello Viejo ; and a French Coe rier is said to have been Intercepted, with orders for all the French Marshals in Spain to return to France. We hope this piece of information will be confirmed. ey httelligence communicated frets Pampeluna by his Excellency Marquis de Ayerve, one of the Lords of the Household of his Majesty Ferdinand VII. we learn that his Majesty and his august bro. ther, Don Carlos, enjoy the best state of health, and still reside in the Palace of Valencey. They are kept in the most profound ignorance with re. gard to all the occurrences of the day, and not even allowed to read the French Newspapers. The park where they are permitted to take the air does not extend beyond a league. His Ma. jesty's Household, and even his Physicians, are separated from their august Master. Heaven, which watches over innocence and virtue, will not leave unpunished the unprecedented wicked. tins and atrocity of the monster who keeps in confinement the object of the hope of all good Spaniards. According to the last accounts from Spain, General Wake's army was daily reinforced. The enemy's loss in the last battle exceeded 2000 men, and they also lost much artillery, and a large quantity of military stores. The Army of Alcaniz has entered Arragan, 16,000 strung, and was received undcr the most enthusistic acclema4ons of Lung live Fuca, nand I irbon Diary, June 19.) • CHAI7I4M VERSUS BONAP4RTE.

The Pacific bad arrived witty the intelligence of the exceptions taken by thi British Government to the arrangements made by Mr. Eitski:sx. The pr.-parations for the celebra.. tion of the renewal of free into-mime with Bri.. tain were, of course, suspended. The Papers contain accounts of the proceedings of Congress, which shell that the American Government is disc posed to prevent the abuse of the rights of Awe rican Citizens, by means of protections, obtained by foreign seamen by false su e icing. Above ten thousand of these false protections arc supposed to be obtained in this manner every year. Mr. litivA had brought in a Bill to prevent this abuse. This Bill, which was well reciivid, and likely to pass, would du more than any other measure AM could be devised to prevent disputes between the Olken of his BEATA MNtc MAJESTY, justly ing British &objects from American vessels, and American Commanders wishing to protect all rightful citizens of the United States. The following is the furious 6 6 Reply" of the Moniteur to the alleged Proclamation of Gen. Stuart, which we were yesterday compelled to omit from want of room : " Since the Gentlemen commanding the British forces have the goodness to interest themselves, from their station on the sea, with our interim. police, it is proper to acquaint them with the situ ation of our province, of which they cannot be well informed, as they have had only communica tion with eight or teu banditti of the coast, and consequently are not able to ascertain the exact ness of their reports, because they bale ever since kept at a distance. I therefore invite yoe, Gentle men, to avail yourselves of all opportunities which may offer, to acquaint the English that the ban ditti du not commit any of the atrocities of which the said Gentlemen complain ; that the number of criminals was never smaller than it is at present ; that Hither Calabria was never more tranquil than since the En fish fleet sailed :coin the ports of Si cily ; and, lastly, that the police was never in a better state in these provinces than since the Eng lish made their appearance. " luform General Stuart that the eternal and. internal safety of Calabria rests on the will of a King whom Europe venerates, and w hose valour England has experienced, and is guaranteed by the seal of all public functionaries. none of which have kept their posts for any other purpose thin to have a nearer view of the 'English fleet, and b the gallantry of the troops of the line and oa,tioeal guards, who have swum by their honour to de fend their country. " Tell the Commanders of the English ships that should they make a descent 00. the coast 44 Calabria, we promise tes repaie thither with the French trootts, to convince the Englek that we need not any one's assistance to adnsiati%tee the po lice in our country, and they will retails In their ships more easy on this gate of Calsbeia."— ( qv/40w, 4...• 10.4 • W•
