Admiral STOPFORD morn aade-raarined. Q. Hilda, heard the order from the Admiralty USIA. i mbier to attack the fleet iu Basque Reads, state to the Court any feeler( volt know in the attack of the esterst:s der, or any defect or delay no the part of Lordship, between the 10th Mart wadi ith April, and whe ther he sled every means in hi. 'power I/Stare, into tiled the shove-ment awed orders?—A. Under all the ofregintstalices of t h e p,e , •iewett in poise of which I am capable, and giving to the Commandir lo Chief she exercise of that dis cren,ot which every Commander in Chief, in rateable) of utensures for which he alone Is responsible, I do ant think there was any delay or delleienry no the part of the Com mander In Chief, to executing the service entnated to bas lawdeltip's care. Q. (n v the coneys) Was the fleet in plaque Roads un moored on the day prevloes to the going iu of the frigates ? A. Yes the ships were uninoored ois the 11th. Q. Do von know why they were unic.sererl P—A. From a tonverrastion I bad with the - Commander iu Chief before Sto 'poplin, I understood it was for the purpose of brine ready to take advantage of any ftvonra'tle circumstance. I must a im add, there was some rant ersation which had no practical /feet, reverting the fleet making a 'hew of getter.g under weigh, to dets'ise the enemy, for the purpose of piesent;ng the enemy's bores coming oat to intercept the fire-.ltipt. Q. Was the fleet moored again iu the course of that day ? —A. The signal was made, and the legit moored again, about matet..except the Caesar. Q. Do von know what induced the Commander In Chief t ► order the fleet to moor again. or if VON do not know his rea sons, did you see or know goy eafficient cane for its being dune ?—A. Tice Commander in Chief did not at the time cominaniente to roe his mason for interring, but from the close order in which some part of the fleet was originally mitered. and considering the strength of the tide, I think there might base been some risk of the shipseearest In earl, other gettiug on hoard of each other had they conttotted elwe. Q. Tito morning after the Ere ships were Kitt in, some civets and telegraphic communications were made from the Imperieuse to the Commander in Chief. Do you recollect what they were I—A. I confess I must sped 't more from re collection. than from any thing I saw myself. - I can speak to thine which were officially reportril in me by the Captain of the Caner. 'rhe first signal reported to ass t o h e mod e hs the litipetueux, was " that seven sail of Ilse enemy's ships am shore. the fleet ran deetroy them. - Soon after, t.ignal re pented, " that half the fleet could destroy them." petit - rest half past six and eight o'clock, I de air recnllect any other ripest matte by the Imperieu'e till between half past twelve and one o'clock, mine des, and stantliue in towards the eoe toy. The Insperieuse made si„raial that the enemy's ships were saperior to the eha-iaa !hip, but intrtior to the fleet united: also that the Imperien-e was iu divirest, and waisted assistance. Q. Did von see. for was it officiallt reported to you in the enure , of Chit day, that the Imperteaw had informed the Commander in Chief by telegraph, that two sail of the line would *sufficient to destroy the comity r—.l. No tech sipal was reported to me ever to lave been made. Q. Was any official information given to von of th e c ow meander in Chief having recalled the Imperieuse on the morns inAof the I'2th 1 —A. No such communication was ever made to me. Q. The Revenge, Theseus, Valiant, and Cretar. are anted to bare hren tent into the Nand of .%it. Did I Wet- go ? - A. They went in at different time. of the night. "the Cesar some bears niter the Valiant. Q Were the. recalled by sifor.al or otherwise, by the Cons- Vander in Coief?-1. They were recalled by no order from the Commander in Chief, but part of them, the Cesar, The seus, and Valiant, came nut by orders from me. Q. What were your reasons for roll* those ships from the service on which they were ordered, without directions tram the Commander In Cheri—A. The imminent and inevitable danger the ships were exposed to by c•••ttinuit.g in that statics° : also the eerminty the they could not he employed with Mimi to the further destrurtinn of the enemy's ships. Q. Ord you consider lite danger to is Mich they would bt espowd from the enemy's batteries. or badness of routs, or both'—A. Front both. Toe evening pretediog it, when the Come win going in, %begin on shore for three blurs, io range Of the enemy's shot; aid t'iim ctsatrary ts my r sr, t et , lins, be ing toll hr the pilot there was sutfi-ient water. The Captaios of the Thowns and Valiant also informed me teat their ships b eel been Q. Oawhat Anal was the rawer as-round !—A. A coati. smatitin of the Buns-wt. or a seocrate batik, in the same line with the Kunyart. At the tone the CY.ar got oilmen, it was nearly dank, and the enemy di,l not perceive her siltation. If it Sod been day-light, t should hare despaired of getting her of. Q. Did has know that within the marl of Air, thew was an anchorage earable of containing six sail of the lase, pow freely oat of reaelt of shot and shells from tune of the enemy's betteries /—A . l'revfnus Pe nor frigates going in, I cortably did mot know it, although some Pilots were of (Tinker that there was, others, that there was not. With re-port to the lumber, I ouidertiontt it never enntained more then fear ships five fathom. sleeve , more of shells. Dad I knevi sof that anchortee before I went to, I should hate evper led to de rit c little grunt front any ships going there, as it wss quito out of the line of annoy Mg any of the enemy's ships that were on shore. Q. One of the reasons Imo have glycol for withdrawing the ship, from the road of .hts was, tied they could not envoy the enemy's ehips. Were sow, before it was dark, is a situ ation from which you maid SO set the enemy's ships as to feel quite satisfied ships of the Imo could do Own, no more mischief I—A. Before I went in, and in going in, I observed the enemy's ships close under the batteriet,and I was so little acquainted with that anchorage, that I was of opinion, bitth with respect to the satigation as well as the exposure to the batteries, shirt redid not be employed without imminently sighing their tarty. Qs You have commanded a stmadrou ftr a comideraltie time in Basque Bonds; have ye* been able to awestain how high the tide rises and fails at Pining tides?—k. Generallt from 18 to 'H feet, according to the set of the wind; the ?a. W. wind stakes a higher tide. Q. When the Imperieuse made the signal that the enemy's ships were oasis me, and the leer might &Wray them, would you, with the experience sail base as a dig-officer, have thought it prides' or proper to send or lead in the Sett to de stroy them I—A. In my ophsion the disledgment from the an. rhorage of the enemy's ships by Ere ships, removed hat a mall part of the obstacles. This is not only my opinion, but that of others who preceded in the command. The diffi culties of the mitigation, and on imperfniacquaiataiter with the anchorage, would, I think, have mode me unworthy of a eommad. where the enemy had all the advantage, and ours would have had all the Ines. Q. When the signal was made by the Imperieure that half of the diet ~ld lave destrosed the enemy, would you have conducted halt the fret for that purpose, with the wind aad Weather as it then was 1-4. In this and the former avower I mut take the state of the wind wily. With the ROA ail it then was, and the broadside of their ships still commanding the pimp, we should have teen so crippled in going ia aid ivorisig out a panacea little more than a mile, I think I should not base risked the ships, had they ts‘ ell under my coal- Mind. Q. The Imperienee made the signal of being in distress. bed wool* immediate assistarce—acme Any ships immedi ately sent to most her?—A. I will ma pretend to say whe ther the frigates were ordered in before or after attrth, by tie Commander in Chief, but there acre several obits fear at that time. Ido net recollect any signal being made tMedialely iolinglter to the signal Irons the Imperieuse. Adjourned noel to-morrow. • PROM THE GERMAN PAPERS.

No sooner is the insurrec tion in the Werra Department quelled, in which not 500, but 150 peasants attacked Marbuurg by light, than a fresh disturbance has broken out in the ri- G'evant ecclesiastical territory of Paderborn, mere et•l;ecially in the Earldon► of Rittberg.

ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF THE FIFTH AND inn OF JULY. wairrsx iv AT *rowan, A •o atCiIVLD tt TITI*AT or ugouvaaa• " The great object which Napoleon's demon strations had in view is developed at last. A. bat. tic has been fought, which lasted fur two days, which resembled the battle of Aspen' to a degree, though, according to the report of the wounded Generals (as we have wot yet received the official account), on the sth day alone more killed and wounded fell thou in both days of the battle of Aspern and Esling. The lose of the Antrum, hi, considerable in Generals. Fourteen or 15 are dead or wounded, yet it is by far leas than the loss of the enemy. I wish I could add, that the result of the battle was as advantageous u that of Aspern. It was on the evening of the 4th that the county opened from the island of Intler-Ltibau a furious cannonade, with 40 tea-pouaders, on the extre. L. . pity of one tight wing, vtltkrhltwasgti,led at g: ling, Which the Anstribds could'auswer•only'with pa i2.pounders. At the same tipfellie;liftle town Fair Esaerdurff was destrovet ivllli ied-hot shot and bombs from Lobau, iatd. s affitt - Faiihk stormed and taken.

M. when Napoleon brought in a considerable number of heavy artillery on the Wks of the kft wing zeta Maskgrafee Neusie del, and forced it to retreat. At three o'clock, however, every thing was agate re-established in good order, and the battle lasted with the greatest filly until night, whe►► his 'Loyal Highness the Getict.ilissimo, despairing of the arrival of the Ai chdukc John, took his lankiest with his right wing at Bisamberg. IT Li I n consequence of this retreat, orders were sent to iirunn to remove every thing.to Igtau. Some hope was entertained that the Archduke John, with Cbastetar, and the Archduke Palatine; and Count Guilay, would make an attempt upon Vienna, or attack Napoleon on the eight side of the Danube ; but this is only conjecture. I The following Proclamation of the Government of Moravia has burn received tom the Continent. The nature and spirit of this document are so ut terly at variance with the real situation of the Austrian army, as has been proved by subccquent events, that it is impostible any o ther light than that of a Continental fabrication.

If the object be merely the destruction of arsenals and navies—that object may probably be ef. I feded. But if the object be more extended—if it goys to the organization and support of incur. rectiun in Holland, Hanover, or the North of Germany—it is not unreasonable to conjecture that NAPOLEON will hasten from the Banks of the Danube to those of the Scheldt, the Weser, or the Elbe, as he did from Madrid to Strasburgh, when the Archduke CHARLES, by the passage of the Inn, commenced that war which has fermi. nated in the absolute humiliation of the House of Austria.
