Since yesterday. some persons seem to think be will go first to Bourdeaux t others persist in coossdering the journey to Italy as certain. But the Emperor does not disclose his secrets, and we shall psobably Rot know where he is gone till after be is gone. BAYONIIIII, Nov. 6.

In tl.e Mehiteor of tLis day is contained the follow ing important intelligence:—" the ratification of • convention which has been concluded between France and Austria, took place on the 10. h at Fon_ teinhteau, between M. di Champagny and M.

The province of Montfalcon is ceded by the Em peror of Austria ; and the boundary between the kingdom of Italy and the Austrian States, is to be the vale of Isonzo. By these arrangements, all its. pediments in tlle way of the execution of the treaty of Presburg, are entirely removed." . _ so?. 15. To-day, letters have been received froinl3,yon-e. which appear to confirm the intelligence •t a con spiracy in Madrid. It is assorted. that the Prince of Asturias (the Prince Royal of Spain), together with • considerable number of persons of distinc tion. among whorl) were the Duke de l'lniantedn, sis 4 the Viceroy de Panipelutie, have been arrested. •M•TVgD4M.

Since peace has been established on the Continent, and especially since the return of our Sovereign, we have lawn witnesses of the severe measures wi.ich WY. been taken for the stria execution of the ithNckAde. We have patiently endured the tern piwary tojetty wht• s re 1111,tatil, hoping at least to a d.e great \ irsdetn, by ( ur sscrifit - es in be tad of the winniuon cause. of our firm ad nirat.un ft lain y Ansi wr du now WM die isell- K runueted hope, - r ' , ~~~`. • • Yt MIP Z7 • • no credit i geproatbes whit% we we not mititai. That losers have been intercepted_at Hamburgh, addressed to Dutch merchants. is a wretched proof of our holding torrespeosience with the common foe I for who can prevent letters bring addressed to himself, wl.ich are opened before their delivery ? It proof was necessary to confirm the rigid severity with which the blockade has been observed, we might, among other things, cite, that several ships, with rich lading+, have been stranded upon our coasts, in consequence of their being refused admit tance into our harbonrs; that the possessors of pro perty in the English Funds have for a long time re ceived no interest ; and lastly, that even the goods of oar own Colonies have been declared forfeited. Yet we hope that the great Genius who. now fixes the destiny of the earth, will at last recognise the pure integrins, fidelity, and attachment of a people, which, perhaps. less than any other, possesses the art of pompously displaying or magnifying in words their feelings ; but which, during twelve years, have been filled with the highest admiration for the greatest of mental:. UTIIICNT, NOV. 17. The ordinary autumn session of the Legislative Body was held this day in this city, by virtue of a decree of His Majesty. It was opened by the Mi nister for the Home Department. and M. Van Bylandt Halt, his President. +tarsal', way. S. His Excellency Marshal Kellerman arrived here yesterday. This day he took possession of the do mains of the principality of Hanau, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, and Protthor of the Confederation of the Rhine. On this occasion tke public bodies assem bled ; and a dieter. hall, Ste. were given.

We have received Paris Papers to the 17th, and Dutch to the 22d last. It appears, from an article in the liteauttar. that Sicily has been evacuated. It states, that Gement Mooaa had embarked at Mes sina; and adds, we hope untruly, that the coavey was dispersed in a storm. and that a ship of war, and several transports, were wrecked upon the coast of Sicily. The French Official Paper has also published the Proclamation of the King et firsts. upon the alleged conspiracy of the Prince of ASTURIAS, who, it says. has been arrested ; but that the Duke Da Lila VA arano, charged as an accomplice in the plot. has escaped an attempt made to arrest him in his palace. The long-threatened visit of BosAraars to Italy, is deferred until a more convenient season. It is now said, that he will proceed immediately to Bordeaux. There is, we believe, a considerable army assem bled there, destined, no doubt, to reinforce the troops sent forward to revolutionise Portugal and Spain. Branntu is to be evacuated by the French before the 10th instant, in pursuance of the terms of a Convention concluded by Austria and France, at Paris, on the loth of last month. It, no doubt, contains stipulations against this country ; but they. are not mentioned, nor is any notice taken in the Paris papers of tie article in a former Mossilese, stating, that Austria had declared war against EtiglAnd. All Portuguese ships are declared good prises. ~ Every thing," says the most respe&able of the Ministerial Prints, ', which we hear with raped to the entry of the Russian Fleet into the Tagus, con firms us in the opinion which we were always dia.. posed to entertain of the innocence of Admiral Ss .savtit's intentions. We have strong reason to be. litre that the measure was one of aisehote neteuity on his part, that it was with the greatest dithculty that he could keep • the sea long enough to reach Lisnon, end that threstf his ships, including Com modore (;rect.'s, were trot able to make the port, and foundered at Ha." i 4 We believe also, that the Russian Admiral had no idea of the alteration which had taken place in the Politics of the Court of Lisbon. and that such was the disposisiou towards this country. ander which he aßed, that oc learning the true state of affairs, ha refused his intuition of quitting the ligus. as sum u posads. It is thought that he a now oo bit way to Li.giaud. with the :email,s of his Let." •• If, in pursuing this cows*, Admiral Sias awns , 1 7t : , • - j/V, irons his Gent i 4 h'S proof that the Empe ror ALLZANDI= to repent of his recent con maion with BOMAPARTIL." Such is the statement of a Ministerial Print, of lest evening. According to the generally accre. diced reports on the subjeft, the Russian squad ron that sailed from Gibraltar, consisted of seven sail of the line and two frigates, the whole of which entered the Tagus, in three separate divisions, on the 9th, 11th, and 12th last. If the aisore state ment be correct, it follows, either that the ?.ssian squadron has been mote numerous than it has been represented, or that only four sail of the line have entered the Tarts. Another of the Ministerial Prints, anxious to rescue the Russians from the imputation of having violated the neutrality of Por tugal, insists, that the force amounts only to fin sail of the line. None, however, of these con tradiftory accounts appears to rest upon good authority. We can readily believe the Ru s sians • did net know, at the time, that Portugal had taken any hostile step against England. If they thought otherwise, they would have had no motive for hoist ing English colours, and that they had recourse to that deception is positively stated in the account brought by the Raven brig, given in a subsequent column. Indeed it must be obvious that Govern ment were not se entirely at ease, with respea to the Rtusian squadron, as the Ministerial Papers pretend. Were it not an objed of some doubt and suspicion, it would not have been necessary to have a force at Portsmouth, under Admiral Kara es, ready to watch lits motions, on its expetted approach in the Channel. The Flag of Truce which sailed en Sunday for Calais, with Mr. M•I NTT, the Ausuian Messenger, on board, returned on Monday to Dover, and that gentleman landed again at that place. The people of the vessel state, that she had approached close to Calais, but the swell was so great, and the wind se adverse, she was obliged to return with out ►anding the Dispatches, or having had any communication with the shore. ..... Admiral Ksars received, ye,terday, his final in structions from the Admiralty, and will leave sown, this day, to assume the command of his squa dron at Portsmouth. The supply of CONS; RSV I'S Rockets, ordered from Woolwich, is for the expe dition in which Admiral K 1 A TS is to be employed. -- - An order was sent off, yesterday, to Portsmouth, to release the Glary from quarantine. Dispatches, received yesterday, from our squa dron, of Guernsey, state that it was all well. Lord Mutoasvx came to town, last morning, from his seat at Fulham, and had a long interview, at his Lordship's house in the Admiralty, with the Earl of WISTISORL•PD and Lord H•wassevity.

The Rambler, —, from the South Seas for London, was captured on the 21st ult. by a French privateer. Monday morning the First Divisio•r of the 29th Regiment, (sader the c.rmmand of Lieute nant-Colonel Warr., marched into Tunbridge, and proceeded yesterday on their route for Portsmouth; This distinguished corps is, we understand, to form part of the force now contains at that place for the Sprat Expedition. The Second Division was ex petted yesterday at Tunbridge. This Regiment, which is now 900 strong, is as effedlive and as fine a body of men as any in His M ',JUT Y'S service. The men marched in excellent order, and appeared in the best health and spirits. The Captain of a vessel arrived in the River, who sailed from a Spanish port on the lid& last, corroborates the report of tire conspiracy at Madrid. Above 60persons of rank have been put under arrest, all belonging to the party of the Prince of ASTI/611AS, Several of these prisoners are stated to have been taken in arms. Arrests multiply as the ^ investiga tion" proceeds; no doubt is entertained, that it will nut terminate until all men of consequence from whom any formidable opposition to Bos•r s's views can ►e apprehended, or who are particularly obnoxious to the Patrice of the Yessci, shall have been imprisoned or set aside. The Captain repeats the rumour that the Prince of A: 1 URIA2 has bust liberated, but be does not know what was the precise cause of that liberation. He also confirmsa report stated in private letters from Germany. that Ben A el arm has sold some thousands of Russian arid Prussian prisoners to the Spanish Government. h) whom they are diaributed in die:rent regiment, of the Spanish arms. The purchase-money tor e.wa of these prisoners war comparatively 'titian:. 1 - .. c) were sold at the rate of half and dollar, per brad.
