If BONara aTa has many ene-' ' mies, in the shape of friends, on the Contineet ; the only way to make them appear in their true colours, is to inform them of his disasters, which, it is won derful, Lord WELLINGTON has pot enabled Minis.' teesto do.

The lion never suf fers himself to be tyrannised over, only when he is within the ponderous gratings of a cell ; and the horse never tamely Submits to the bridle, till the' nobleness of his nature has been destroyed.— Yet the lion and the horse have not been endued with reason, except that which arises from the instinct of the heart; while man, that was formed to fulfil the noblest and sublimest purposes of nature, submits to that which the lion and the horse, nay, even the plodding ex, refuse to be eubjected to, until art has destroyed or perverted the beautiful, lineaments im e i planted in them by nature's directing hand. They submit only to the yoke of actual violence ; while' the great bulk of mankind submit to an imaginary yoke imposed upon them by a few, often inferior in point of strength and intellect to themselves, and then vent their plebes in groans or in curses, making their very sufferings an aggravation of their crime of unjust submission, instead of exerting themselves to redress their wrongs by those means which superior wisdom has placed in their hands. " If there wanted evidence of *hat I relate, look • By an Anholt Mail of tins morning we ,received l ot the transactions, the bloody, the violent, the report of a great battle, said to hate been fought . right-invading, and misery-engendering transactions e i thin twenty German "miles of Riga, and that the eof Europe, during the last '2O years.

Tile above intelligence was received this morning oue of the first American houses in the city, by y of Halifax. To proportion as the glory of the British arms interests every Englishman, so is the mind upon the ruk for the arrival of official intelligence from our Army in Spain.

Ir. VAN.. SITTART. • Adiniral Sir J. B. WARREN was yeitsr Intro deck to the Pat NCE It EGENT, by Viscount Mat vILLIgi . on his departure for America. Yesterday accounts were received from America to the 30th of June; we rejoice to learn by this chan nel that the PRESIDENT had not, up to that period, !agreed to issue any Letters of Marque. Advtees have been received from Amelia Island to the date of the 4th of July, by which we learn, that au English vessel, in attempting to enter the harbour, had been pursued by some boats of the insurgents ! without success. Thus disappointed, they applied !for assistance to an American frigate off the coast, which refused , compliance with their demand. ! it was mentioned iu our Paper of yesterday, that I the American ships bound for the United States, to which Licences of Protection had been granted, were not permitted to sail, if they had copper on board, either crude or manufactured. This difficulty has been removed, and orders are now issued to allow them to ' take their departure. A letter from Liverpool, dated late on Tuesday evening, says, that a vessel, just arrived at that port in twenty-one days, from Halifax, has brought in telligence of very violent proceedings, amounting to., insurrection, in the United States; and in many places Mr. Manzsox's elgy was burnt, on his declaration of war ! Letters.from Gibraltar, of the 22d, state, that se- I vend transports had sailed from that port, for the• purpotte of' . assisting in bringing eilinsi.assessos and. his army from Malaga, but that, in consequence of an nnkyourable wind, they had been compelled to return.. Some apprehension, we understand, was en tertained for the safety of BALLasTeitos; but it wes hoped, from his well-known - Activity and resolution, . that he Would extricate himself from the difficulty into which the 'unetpected appearance of the enemy had placed him. Letters were yesterday received frOm Majorca, to date of the Bth ultimo. At that time the troops Iles-' tined foi the expedition to Spain had not left the island, The force in readiness consisted of between 4 and 6000 Spaniards, including cavalry and in fantry. The English part of the expedition was to re-embdrk at Minorca. ,e letters from Bengal state, that advises I received, that a detachment of our army a fort belonging to a native Chief, in Bun , had been obliged to retire.

At Constantiuople they daily receive corn from the Black Sea. They write, under date of the 30th ult. that the Congress nt Bucharest has been dissolved • and that though the Russians have left only 12 , 000 men in IVallachia, the Turks do not seem inclined to attack. General A.NDREOSSI is daily, expected at that capital. A vacancy having occurred in the Ward of Cripple gate Without, for a Member in the Court of Com mon Council, the election terminated ov:_Thursday by a poll (which was conducted with great good hu mour and harmony) in favour of Mr. JOSEPR YAL. • LUMLEY. The numbers were al follow : Mr.Yallealcy, 161—Mr. progden, 24—Mr. Taylor, 84. Donuts's NV/tom—The contest which ensued on the Ist of the month for the Annual Coat and Badge, left to the free watermen of London by their old friend Dogget, having remained undecided,4n conse quence of several accidents which obstritcted the ' race, yesterday was appointed for a renewal . , of the wager. Six young watermen • accordingly started from the Swan, below Blackfriars'-bridge, to row to the Swan, at Chelsea. They appeared well matched, and after rowing a short distance, young May, of i Westminster, took the lead, and maintained it till they arrived at Chelsea. lie, of course, won the Coat and Badge. Fuller and Reynolds followed in succession, and came in Oar their respective shares. This morning, about_ six o'clock, a middle aged woman threw herseff Troit the centre arch of Black frairs'-hridge into the Thames; her clothes kept her afloat some minutes, but at last she sunk. Several watermen immediately went to her assistance, and succeeded in rescffidgfier from a watery grave, though not before she had twice disappeared. The only cause she assigned for the commission of so heinous a crime as self-destruction was, that she had been quarrelling with her husband. The public attention was excited near St Paul's on Thursday evening by a bird, of an extraordinary size, having settled upon the tap of the cross, where it sate from six till eight o'clock. A gentleman dis chnrged,a piece at it, but it flew away unhurt. I The report of Duzson having been reprieved, it appears; from the following letter, Was unfounded : I CAMBRIIIGE, THURSDAY EVENING, Arc. 6.—The death-warrant is just urrived from the Secretary of State's Office for the execution of Dawson, and the Sheriff has directed that he should sutter at the New Drop in front of the Gaol, at eleven . o'clock on Saturday morning. He conducts himself now' with great propriety, and pays a very decorous at tention to the pious exhortations of the Ordinary, , who visits him twice a day. He says, that he enter-' tains no farther hope of a reprieve; yet still decliaes answering arty interrogatory respecting his supposed instigators to the inhuman deed for which he is tol die. He silently shakes his head whenever a gues- I don is put to him on this point, from which it is na-1 Wally conjectured that he had accomplices in al higher sphere of, life to ,himself, and that he will make a full discovery before, his exit. `.

The horses of this army, including cavalry, staff, regimental baggage, artillery, ammunition, commis sariat' must amount to 150,000; these ought to re ceive each 81 bs. of corn to keep them in condition.
