Neither the citadel of Bayonne, nor any fortress on that side of France, is capable of impeding their ►cinch beyond a few days.

A few days will throw a light on these most interesting subjects. The arrival of the Qin:en of FRANCE and the Duchess of AN 11:0ELMINE, in this country, is eNpect ed by Loris XVIII. before the end of the present month. MARIA JOSEPHA LOUISA, the expatriated Queen of France, is somewhat more thin two years of kr than her husband. She was the eldest daugh ter of the late king of Sardinia, VICTOR AMADI:UI 111. by a daughter of PHILIP V. Ling of Spain. !ler !mine, meter married the Comm trAireets; but neither of these Princesses wee everdistioguish ed by her personal beauty. The present (bete, who has resided during several years past at iu Courland, entertained the greatest 'apprehen sions at the idea of passing the portion of the WI-' tic, from Lichen to Carlacrona, in Sweden, but she made the tocage with great ease, and is now about to embark for Yarmouth in au English Ili guar. Madame Royale, Duchess D'Asoonitsue, who acompunies her, must &always deeply interest, train the circuinstunces of her birth, imprisonment, and misfortunes, every mind of sensibility. She is THAI near thirty years of age, by ne means handsome, nor endowed with any extraordinary talents, but %Tics is 14:viable, virtuous, bene►olent, and inclined to devntion. Though she has been married above• nine years to the Duke of ANGOOLIIIINIP, her cousin, she has never given an heir ts the Throne once occupied by her father ; nor is such en event considered as probable to happen, at soy future tone, by the fussily of Bouasos.

There can l^ no manner of question that though the Suite law excluder) iter, like every other French Princess, from any possible title to the ('rows: of trance : yet, that s she is ipso Arta, Queen of Nararre. That little kingdoin, lying tartly to the North, lint moi-tly to the South of the Pyre nees, became subject to Spain early in the six teenth century•, by the conquest and usurpation of FEarit NAN D, the Catholic, King of Arrazon. The principality of Brum alone remained to the an cient Sovereigns, and taut province, togetht r with the title of King of . NAy.taae, descended to HENRY IV. through two women; namely, his great granihnother, CATHERINE DE FOIX, Queen of NAVARRE, in her oven right ; and, secondly, hi's mu titer, the celebrated JANE D'ALORET, likewise in her own right Queen Of NAVARRE. HENRY RUC.. Ceedeci to the Crown of France, by virtue of the Sallie law, as nearest male heir of the preceding King. But to Navarre lie emild have had no right or claim, except from his mother. Before the exe cut;ou of Lou ',XVI. the French sceptre descended, iii an hereditary line, from fluxav IV. to him; but, on his death, mid that of 114 son, Louts XVII. though the crown of France reverted buck, to MoNsiera, now Louts XVIII., the title and crown of Narerre descended to MARIA THERE:b.& CHARLOTTE, lOW Duchess D'ANGOULESNIE. She has never, however, assumed this title, equally win and imaginary. Her aortal, and that of the 'ci-decivai Queen of FRANCE, are expect ed by their august relatives in this country , with much impatience. Louts XVIII. does not remove from Costield to his new residence, near lesbury, in Buckinghamshire, before .the •p -proacbintß month of Noveuiber. The house and garde•ts, for which he is to pay 5501. per (mama, are commodious and pleasant; but the former is hardly half furnished. Louts XVIII. is the first titular King of France who has set foot in this country since the year 1364, when Jotin, taken prisoner by the BLACK Pnteuu, at the hatt!e of Poietiers, in 1356, died in London, at tic Palace of the Savoy, in the Strand. A Mail from Jamaica arrived yesterday, and brought papers to the 18th June, inclusive.—The outward-bound Jamaica fleet arrived on the Bth of June. In a postscript to The Jtimaira Rope Gazette, of the 11th June, it is stated, that in a detachment of about SO recruits of the 2tl West India Regi ment, at drill, near 30 rushed out of Fort Ang-usta, with their arms, and before any stop could be put to them, killed Major Duncsv mud Adjutant Et.f.ts. Sixteen were brought to a Court Martial—fifteen were found guilty and sentenced to death.—Seven of them were ordered to be shot on the etb, and the rest were respited. MONTEGO-MAY, MAY 28. DREADFUL FIRE AT FALMOUTH. Between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, in the night or Tuesday last, the swfal cry of "fire" was beard in all directions. It began in the retail shop of Mr. Francis 1400, in the centre of Cisurch-street, which, in defiance of all hu man insertion, woe became general on both aides the street, the greater port of which is burnt down. The flames reach ing the earner house of Messrs. Campbell sod Ellis, and Mesars.Jinui Christie sad Co. ou the other side in Market street, rushed iuto those of Mrs. Blake, which were soon tonstused ! Here It wee thought the calamity would end; but, alas ! from a sudden shift of wind, the fire crossed the street to the large boom of Messrs. Lyonaud Black, diet, to Mr Hawthorn's, Memos...bd..

Lamont and Sum mer's hence, and the Trclawny wharf, fell n prey to this Mooring clement ! Many bootees in Cornwell and other streets were barrel down, but (lac principal bass appears to hove been in the &sometime of the greeter part of !Market street, use of the' best in the West Indies, all of which, stored with goods of the late imputation, were rutin:ly con sumed. .

It appears that another attack was made upon Saragossa no the 14th ult, by a corps of 301.10 meg, which was completely defeated, audit was com puted that the enemy had then lost not less than 20,000 men before that place. Other accounts are of so late a date as the .23(1, at which time the enemy continued, without elieet, to take every °ppm-- tuuity of renewing their attacks upon the city.
