NAPOLI:ON and the Eopitass returned to Paris on the Ist. 13y an Impe►ial Decree., dated Havre, May 29, the basin • of the port of Calais is to be rendered capable of receiving a greater number of vessels. A stitr has arrived from Cadiz, with letters and papers, to the date of the 21st ult. it has been before mentioned, that a person of high rank, engaged in the late attack' upon Matagorda, had I hi. horse shut Antler him by a ball from that furtresi. It is now stated, that this person. was Blarsh.l Victute, Duke• of Billion°, and that he was himself severely lacerated, and has since died of his wounds. It was reported that Alicant and Cathagena had been taken p9ssessiun of by the enemy. We have rataikew--4• behave that the French army in the South. Eastern parts of Spain had not proceeded beyond Lorca, and were not in sufficient strength to advance to the attack*of tbuse important situations. Govtitistewr have received dispatalses from fiord Wet.xtmwrou, dated the 17th ult. stating, that the British army continued in its former si. tuatioa in the vicinity of Almehla. The follow. ing is an extract from otte..of our letters i " Lissom, MAY 10.—There never Wu such a dearth of news Isere as at present. We hear nothing from the army, but that ciey etibaill it' the positions they occupied whet' 1 virote'yOu last, neither advancing nor retreating. ." It is believed bete, that the French are collecting a large force to attack the llritisb troops, hind that they only wait the Arrival of supplies of provisions sufficient to enable them to ad4eme.

A..l3usztt. ship, of considerable value, has been captured by a Moorish squadron eruizing of the coast of Portugal. It is reported that a great nutnber of french ships of war and privateers are crowded in the ports of Africa ; and that not [ less than tO ate accommodated iu the harbour of Tunis. MRS. CLARKE'S Narrative has made very little impression upon the public mind. It has, we believe, entirety missed the mark it aimed at, whatever else it has hit; and Ministers have made a very poor job of this. The plain fact is, that no talc, however true, or whomsoever it might bear upon, could alter the case, or redeem the fate of the DUKE or Yonn.--it would be foul thing, .if there were a conspiracy to destroy him, even by bringing his own vices to overwhelm him. That there was no such thing, however, is well known to the public. But had that been the case, how does the Duke of Yogic stand in the eyes of all candid men ? Is he acquitted of the charges brought against him? Every man of common understand ing says-=No t—lle may endeavour to decrease the odium that Icy on him, by, making others hate. ' ful , to lessen his disgrace by rendering others con. temptible—What then ? What if he succeed in thin? It may give him sums personal ease ; but :it does not alter his case, as that case is a pub*. lie question. This is the first point of view, in which it is necessary to regard. this publi. cation of Mrs. Ceasing. And the reason of its being uccessary to turn our eyps' first to that quarter, is, that the NARRATIVE is bolted '.out to meet the PEOPLY's PETITIONS There is rsomethiug so ludicrous in this expedient, and it is already so completely laughed at, that we are al. most ashamed to mention the fact seriously. • Yet it is so ; and, indeed, is very little inferior to va. rives other of Mr. PERCEVAL'S stratagems. The scheme of Ministers, when developed; is this-- they see, that the desire for REFORM is spreading with a rapidity that mocks even all full observa tion of it : the desire arose out of an expo sure of Anuses: Colonel WARDLE was the person who put the exposure lute a train that. could not be 'stopped. " Very well, (say, Mi. nisters) we must turn the attention from ABUSES to the faults of Colonel WARDLE ; or, if he has none, we must invent some for him."— nere is the whole secret of the Upholder's trial, of Treasury writings against Colonel WARDLE, and now agaiu of this latest of the Treasury writ. ings on the same topic, that .is to say, Mrs. Ceaßnes Narrative.—All the former Maguey writings on this subject have, one and all, sue et ssively fallen into contempt; and the Narrative, as far as the main question is concerned, has not attracied•even one day's attention, not one breath of public sensation. But the TRIAL was a Huta. blu thing, and it still does demand a little notice. We ate glad. that accident, or miter the Up. normal's own deed, enables na to throw a little new light on this affair. The Public will remember, that Colonel WAR. 'bat address:4'a Letter to the People of the United iiisi s dalN declaring that the verdict in the UPHOLDER'S trial " was obtained by PERJURY aitStre.” That later aDDIMrOds in the lint instance, in Tat STLTISM4 exclusively. lis consequence of the plibliestion . of that Letter, a Mr. Symms called upon Tile iLtierEni A N for an explanatiPn. But we will tell this part of the story by an ex. tract from TIIE STATESMAN, in answer to Mr. STOKES.

It was, in fact, a Way not only to redeem his goad name and his BROTHEtt 9 S, but one prepared and made easy by the Proprietor of TIIE STATE4NIAN.

But Drones. %Valour has so shrunk hack, by permit ting the action to he non-primed, and paying the DEFENDANT'S COSTS!—We UCLA IlOt shew the , Reader, how this desertion of that action goes to establish Colonel Wa 'woes original assertion — namely, that the verdict in the UPHOLDER'S action agaiuit him, suss obtained by F EKJuity ALONE.

The Four-in-hand Club have fixed their last meeting, this season, for Thursday next. They will meet, as usual, at Mr. Bux•rotes, Mortimer. street, at one o'clock, and drive off twice round Cavendish-square, fur the entertainment of the public, and afterwards litutg.up fur Salt-hill to dinner.

The Lisbon Gazette of the 18th ult. contains a copy of a letter from BON APARTE to the Queen of Stet r.y, which, after enumerating the events of the last five years,w hich have so materially changed the relative situation of affairs in Europe, concludes with a proposition on the part of the Tyrant of the Continent to make the King of Stem* Sovereign of all the Isles orthe Mediterranean, on condition. of his recognizing MURAT as King of NAPLES,, and Joss; u Betwixt's% as King of SPAIN.
