The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQ:UER and Mr. CANNING have constant interviews, which, it is said, will terminate in the immediate introduction of the latter into once. Lord WILW:INGTON, it is said, is to be created a Marquis, and Lord MuLonxsc is to be raised to the dignity of au Earldom. Policies were opened at LLOYD'S .yesterday, on the defeat of MLaMoNr. Twenty guineas were in many instances given to receive 100, if he was not beaten on or before the Ist of this month. The following Notice was posted up at LtoTe's yesterday :—" The Lords Comissioners of his Ma jcsty's Privy Council have directed _particular in structions to be transmitted to the Commanders of his*Majesty's ships, not to detain American vessels proceeding from Great Britain to the United States with Licences; and have also directed Instructions to be sent to the Courts of Vice-Admiralty, in Bri tish America aqd the West Indies, to liberate any such vessels as may be sent in there, and suffer them immediately to proceed to their respective ports of destination. '--After the discqrdant sentiments we have seen between two Great Officers of Govern. meat, *e are anxious to be satisfied as to this ques tion, whether the Lords of the Admiralty will ac cede to this arrangement of the Privy Council, and surrender the chance of acquiring the droits they • claim ? The Austrian Obscreer, of the 21st ult. contains the following article:--" The most ridiculous. re. ports have been spread with regard to, the force of the Russian army. it is beyond doubt that the Russian Grand Army scarcely musters 300,000 ef fective men. The principal force is concentrated upon the Dwina, where lutrenchments have been formed at different points." VIENNA, JULY 11.--There is no doubt that'll*. tilities have boon recommitted by the Turks and Russians, since the Preliaddltriseet Pasco have not been ratified by the Sultan. - , a.. • BRESLAW, JtiLY 15.—The Austrian orps, .004. under Prin Scr- - and Dispatches from Lord WELLIWIPTOM have riot yet arrived, nor have any :Atolls coie to hand this day i ytatifirming the great victory said to havu been gained by his Lordshiiover Matuotaxi. It should also be remarked, that tha regular weekly dispatch from Lord Wxuran.ron. has not arritid, whiih, 'accord. ' lag to the order of transatatinfracconnts to this country, shouldhaatstilled from Lisbon on the 20th bit. Thus far cantingeaCies justify opinion in sup. Porting the credit of the rumour respecting the vic-; tory, and ne'forikor; for a vessel has arrived from ! Catarina, which place she left on the 30th alt. six days after the battle is said to linve been fought at Salamanca; and it should be remembered, that the latter place is scarcely 200 miles from Corunna, therefore there was more time than sufficient for the news to have ; arrived before the sailing of the vessel, which is ex. ; tre melywonderful,if the account of the victory be true; bocause Sir HOWARD Doi rigs is stationed about lvrny between Salamanca and Courant, *hose duty, as well as anxiety, would prompt him to i tran , 7,at to England, by the most expeditious means, every account relating to the operations of the At. lied Army, particularly when it had gained a most important victory. It will also be recollected, that a c "PY of the letter, dated the 23d ultimo, sa:d to have been sent ..by Lord WELLINGTON to the Spanish General commanding at Astorga, a t:tottnein4 the • victory of the previous dab vas slid to hafts been transmitted to this Costatty from Sir HOKE POPUAM. Now it happens very - sin. Phil), that, in an aride which we gave yesterday, relative to the operations of Sir gout's squadroovo the coast of Spain, dated the 30th . of July, the only lintice taken-of the enemy's army is contained in the following, at least it is contained is the letter from which our article was extracted :—'4 W e know OP MASMON T has written to the Nortk Coaidforitu' foictinents, but nonerould be spared to his solicits. tons, ou accoaut'of our flourishing up and down 5 EV an account published by Government, it ap pears that during the last three years, the number of French officers, masters of privateers, and .merchant , Men, who hare broken their parole, amounts to 458'2 —242 have been retaken, the -rest have escaped.— The number of English officers who have escaped is not stated. Maria Martel, the daughter of an aged couple at Metz, was on the 12th ult. sentenced to ten years in carceration, for having repeatedly struck her mother, on her refusal to assign to her some small landed pro• perty. A highly informed Gentleman, just arrived from . France, states, that it is generally supposed at Paris that his Holiness has at length been induced to yield to the persuasions of BONAPARTE ; and that the first act by which he would be called upon to manifest this disposition, would be by giving his benediction to the new kingdom of Poland. The Catholic reli gion being the national religion of Poland, it is sup posed that the re-establishraeut of the nation will be highly gratifying to'his Holiness, and that he will readily second BONAPARTE, by giving his sanction to the measure. It is said at Paris, that the Foes will henceforth reside in that city, as being tlie grind ca pital of Catholic Europe. Advices were yesterday received from Bourdeans, from whence the latest account are to the 15th alt. Bread was at nine sous the pound, and the wetand cold season, led to the apprehension of an unfavourd able harvest time, hut the crops were abundant. Marshal MAssvci, Prince of &sling, arrived at "Path on the 29th 4 from the waters at Bowies. The following Officers are to be Brigadier-Generals on the Staff under the Karl of WELLINGTON l lonels INGLIS, 57th; Wicsom, 39th; Bi,r6, of the Guards; and BUM, 46th regiineut. Colonels [N- F leus and WILSON have long served in Portugal, and were both wounded at Albuna• A ship of war is arrived at Plymouth, with dis. patches fiom Sir Euwano PELLEw, who is off Ton. lon. The first division of the armament from Sicily --was waiting with the utmost impatience for the arri val of the second. Near a month had elapsed from the sailing of the first division—by which, no doubt, the enemy would gain intelligence of the expedition, though they may not be able to ascertain its object. The second division was to sail from Palermo on the 2d of July. Pressing orders have been received at Plymouth, for the outfit of all the smaller vessels; and the arti ficers are to work additional time. It is stated, that, in many iustantes, attestations used for enlisting soldiers have been printed without adding the words Heirs and Successors to his MA.. i J EST Y, contrary to a General Order 'sued on that. subject, and which has occasieued a reference to the Law Authorities, the soldiers decliuing to be again attested under the new form. A subscription of two thousand guineas has been set on foot for the purpose of purchasiv a service of plate to be presented to Mr. BuovottAst, as a testi mony of the sense entertained of :tis successful ef forts by the Merchants and Manufr.onrers. This subscription has called forth the .scurrility of the Orders in Council Men---they would rather reward a Statesman for plunging his country into war with I , America, than for exerting himself to avert that ca lamity. The other day Mr. SIIRRID IN, in complimenting the understatitliog of the Marchioness of Hrirreottn, threw in a sly co:nmentlation .of her personal beauty. Upon her rallying him for flattering an old -woman, he replied, that age was, in her case, intended to make hor more closely resemble the inhabitants of Heaven, for the Angels were the most ancient as well as the most beautiful of Gen's works. On Sunday morning, a boy was defrauded of a large quantity of valuable clean linen, which lie was ' taking home to NIADOISON'S Subscription-house in Piccadilly; by a fellow standing at the door of that house, respectably dressed, who began scolding the boy for being so late, and took the bundle from him. ' The boy saw the fellow go into the house; but it turned out, that when he got la, he pretended that he had mistaken it for Sir Fit %NCH BURDETT'S. It is well known, that when black cattle are feed. ill on clover grass at this season, particularly when there is dew on the grass, they are often lost by wind in the stomach. A few gills.of whale oil, with an equal quantity of whiskey, poured down their throats, is an immediate cure. The parliamentary phrase " expedient" has often created a greet deal of conjecture, in order to come at its true meaning. A Wit the other day observed, , that its signification was never accurately ascertained until the last Session of Parliament, and then it trzs found by the literary characters in the House that it was compounded of the Latin words " ex," signify ing " out of," and " spec, hope," so that saying any measure was expedient, was saying that it was , " hopeless." The tax upon capital has already been justly distinguished by this term. On the night of 31st ult. fear prisoners confined on board the Suffolk, effected their escape by hauling in the grating of the after-prison and slipping over board. The night was dark and favourable ; they took a boat from the magazine, and were shortly after re taken (one excepted) by the Gantbicr cutter ; the one! missing is the man that some years ago teetk . away the buoy boat, and from the account of his comrade, it is almost certain he is drowned; he bad a club leg, and they waited for him to join theta upwards of oue hoar. The Recorder of London will make ills Report of the remaining capital convicts under sentence of death in Newgate, on Thursday neat, at two o'clock, to his Royal Highness the Prince Itegentin Council, at Carlton house. On Sunday; Bob Dames, a well-known pick. pocket, left London by the Worcester Coach, sup- , posed to be for, the purpose of attending the Races there this week. Thursday last, in consequente of an information, twb men, of de name of 'Weathers tad Chritkicy, were apprehended by Thomas Edwards, belonging to the Thames Police Office, en strong sdspieion ,of Wring. with others, *Wed and abetted in the escape ift some French Prisoners of war.

T Our Readers will find, in our Paper of to-day, a most interesting document, which we have been fa you, ed with from a Correspondent, relative to the effective strength of the French army in Spain, pre vious to the fall of Badajos. And though circum stances may have altered the number, as well as the position, since the surrender of that fortress, yet the article will be found extremely valuable to the man Who wishes to trace objects for the sate of correcting and extending his i►►formation. 'lir, -24:1,- A fe* Carieetts Papers, but of detached iittd irra. 'gular dates, hate been received since the earthquake. The folloWing is the substance tif their contents They are principally occupied by Government Pro: derivations, addressed to the inhabitants and the arf my, exciting them to the defence of the territory in.. vaded by the troops of Coro and Maracaybo, who, taking advantage of tke general consternation, and of the superstitious fears of the people, have possessed I themselves of several town; and cities. What these places were cannot be distinctly untlerstood from those Papers; bat, according to a dispatch from a Sir Gregor M'Gregor, who commands a corps, under the Generalissimo Miranda, it appears that Valencia is occupied by the Spanish troops. it' is said, in a Proclantatiiin, that the eaemy from Coro 46 entered the territories of Carona, under the mask of the basest perfidy." Aeother, contains a promise to• accelerate the re-conquest of Greiner., °spin°. and' Araure. in a Bulletin, of the 2211 of May, it is Mated, that , the towns of G‘iigue and Porta., chuelo de Guayea have been recovered, and, it • it is said, that there was a report of " San Carlos ' having bent retaken." Those who are well ac. quainted with the typography of these provinces may thus judge of their state on the 22d of May, which is date of the latest papers received. ,The Procrama: tions appear full of energy, and are written in as t style which indicates a .recovery from the trrror into which the earthquake threw the inhabits,nts. That directeld by the Governinent to the troops, on the"' 13th of April, argues against the supposition that the earthquake had been-a punishment from Hear er for having refused obedience to Ferdinand VII. in this manner—" What King had the Caraccas disavowed, when, in 1611, an earthquake produced raveges to such an extent, that it was in agitation to remote the city to the site of Sabana Grende, and forty families came from the Canaries to supply the loss of population which that convulsion had occasioned ?-- What King was rejected, when, oat the. 21st Octo ber, 1766, the Caraccas again suffered great devasta tions from the same cause ? Was not this country at: those periods subject to the Sovereign of Spain ? Lima, Acapulco, Guatemala, and other towns of America, base they not also been destroyed by earthquakes under the Government of their Kings ? Did not Lis bon suffer in like manner, notwithstanding its popu. lation adored the King of Portugal I" Admiral La. forey performod a duty, of humanity in sending, as soon as he was informed of the earthquake, that Orpheus frigate to La Guayra, and offering assist ance to the unfortunate survivors. The Government of the Caraccas, in their Proclamations, contrast this generous conduct of the British Commander with that of the Spanish Governors of Coro and Mara. caybo, who seized-the moment of misfortune and cote.tentation as a favourable opportunity for prose cuting In the Midland Chronicle we find the expunged Evidencealluded to is the Speech of Mr. SitouosrAu s on the Orders in Ceuncil : EXPVNGIM EVIDERC —" Q.
