" There are not," adds he, " transports, nor any means of obtaining them.for the conveyance of your Omens. Whist can be greater proof of this, than tka• , ye retain your troop here at a great expense, looms! of removing them to another country ? " General Ca.tanos, when he promised to obtain a passport fru* the English for the passage of your army, could only engorge to solicit one with ear" neatness, as he has done. But how can your Ex cellency suppose that the British ships would suf fer your troops to pass, certain that tl.ey were going to make war on their nation in some *doer place. I cannot persuade myself' that either General Cas taws or your Excellency would believe that such a capitulation could be carried into effect. " The object of your Excellency must have been to obtain conditions which, thoisgh impossible. 'might do honour to your surrender ; we must. however, submit to the imperious law of necessity." On the 14th instant. General Dupont, with the Staff of his army, arrived at the port of Santa Maria. to embark on board the ships, in which they were to remain till an opportunity offered to transport them to France. The populace looked Au in silent indignation, which, however, they re strained, from respect to the Governor. But when, in the act of embarkation, they saw fall out of 101112 of their baggage a cover of a chalice, and other parts of sacred utensils, which had been Stolen from the churches, they fell upon all the carriages, carts, ice. and, with irresistible fury. seized all the sacrilegious plunder, which is the greeted puuishment which ran be inflicted on each a gone of ratifiers.

It now ap pears that the two Courts have never been on bet ter terms of amity and friendship than they are at present. The Court of Vienna being well ac quainted with the real bearings of British politics, is perfectly aware of the burdensome tax which thV Continent pays to English ingenuity, and knows full well that she can receive but little assistance from that quarter. " Spain has also opened to the English para• graph writers a vast field for speculation—they congratulate too soon their country on the cheek which some detached corps of the French have sus tained. Every man of sense must he aware, that as soon as France shall attack tke insurgents with bet whole military force, no further opposition can he made on their part. England holds out pro mises of mighty succour and assistant, but the last wars have shown hew England is uccwitonaeil to fulfil her promises ; and how can Great Britain possibly do more for Spain at present than she did in the war of the succession, at the beginning of the last century.? Are the English soldiers in our days more valiant thou the Conquerors of Blen heim ? Iles she greater generals at present than the gallant Peterborough ?

Being overpowered, and prevented from carrying this deed of blood into effect, he was conducted into a private room of the Palace, and coufined. Mustapha &nectar then nominated himself Grand Vizier, and appointed his anteceasor Governor of the Fortress of Ismael.

On this the 111estiterr has the following note It is true that 40,000 men, of the last Conscriptioi, are going to Germany to reinforce the skeleton regi ments of the Grand Army, and replace double the number of veteran troops which have been drawn off for Spain. Thus the Great' Army will rather be diminished than augmented by this measure, which certainly shews no hostile inten tion."
