The Ga:ette of Saturday night contains the Order in Council, given in our Paper on Saturday, for Ly ing an embargo upon all Spanish vessels in British ports. It states, expressly, that this step has been taken by our government in consequence of a si milar measure adopted by the government of Spain with respe.t to British vessels in the ports of that kingdom. Of course, it can only be regarded as an aft of retaliation ; and, if Spain were to re voke its order, we see no reason to suppose that England would not also relax its severity Many persons, looking at it in this light, de not think it decisive of war, as it is generally con sidered. Taken separately, it certainly is not so hostile a proceeding up o n our part, as the order for detaining the Spanish vessels upon the high seas, which ha s been upon more or less since the atf.tir off Cape St. Mary ; for, that had no precedent in the condutt of Spain for our justification, and yet we find the two countries have continued ever since at peace. Although no letters of marq•he or rfprisal will he issued, or, in other words, although ar will not be aftually c'e:lared until alter the ar rival of Mr. I's tAts, our late Clew des Ag:vres as M idrid, we an: not, therefore, inclined to think that hostilities will necessarily follow that event im mediately. The very words of the order for em bargo and detention hold out a hope of amicable adjustment. They require, that the greatest care shall be taken to prevent damage and embezzlement, there by implying the probability of their restoration to the owners. We do not, on the other hand, mean to hold o•at a hope of peace. We only mean to say,that nothing has yet happened to justify us in asserting, that the d.x)r is certainly and decisively closed against it. Tha SPA/41111 A 611 4 45.413011 and family attended chapel yesterday as usual, and there is nothing in the state of his domestic arrangements, that shews him to be prepared for an immediate departure. We cannot, therefore, presume, that it necessarily awaits the return of Mr. FliLlE; for that event, whenever it shall happen, must be sudden. We cannot expeft any intimation of that event until the receipt of the letter announcing his landing, or, perhaps, his art ival in town. An Ilarnburgh Mail arrived on Baturday, with letters and papers to the 15th. An a►tije from Madrid of the 15th last states, that Mr. Fuels, accompanied by Lord and Lady HOLLAND, had left that city on the preceding day, upon their return to England. the adverse state of the weather, as we observed on Friday, is probably the cause which h.ts so long delayed their arrival. The level is ra pidly declining at Madrid and Leghorn. A letter from Vienna of the Sth inst. states, that a Spanish Courier had arrived there the d.•y before with dispatches, containing the information of an embargo having been laid on all British ships in Spanish harbours. Immediately after these dis patches were read, the Sr,. NISH ASINASSADOIt had a long conference with the Minister of State, Count COILNTZEL. and in the evening, he sent Cou riers, one to Berlin, and the other to St. Petersburgh. Some persons pretend, that the Court of Madrid has demanded the mediation of that of Vienna in its difference with England ; and that a Courier, whom Count Conan-tact. dispatched early in the morning of the sth, brought the Austrian Ambassador, Count STAHREM as Ito, orders to offer his Sovereign's mediation to the Court of St. James's. On the other hand. it was reported at Vienna, that the King of SP AIN had, in a letter, in his own hand writing, to the Emperor of Russia, referred the whole Nego ciation and reciprocal demands of England and Spain to His Russi art MAJESTY'S decision, by which the SPILNISII Mon snot had promised to abide. This last step is supposed, in the political circles at Vienna, to have been taken in consequence of the advice of BON AP A RTE, who hopes by it to embroil the Cabinets of London and St. Peter ,burgh. or at least to gain means and time to form new intrigues and plots to interrupt the union which so happily subsists between Russia and Great Britain. We have received a series of New-York Papers, to the 25th last, the contents of which arc given in a previous column. They do not mention .Isno sic BON AAAAAA . Their silence, in this particular, is a confirmation of the report of his having embarked far France. Were he still in America, these papers would probably have noticed his movements, as usual. The gale of Thursday has, we fear, done consi derable damage to our shipping. We have to re. late the melancholy loss of the Blonde frigate in Torbay. At day light she parted both bower an chors, and rode by her sheet. At 9 a. m. she cut away her main and mizen masts, and parted her last cable. All hopes of saving the ship being at an end, the crew raa her upon Go odrington Sands, within a mile of the place where the Vewraile was lost. The Brixham sailors. by the most aetive and humane exertions, saved the whole crew; but the ship was fast going to pieces when our corre spondent closed his letter. The gale then continued with dreadful violence ; and great apprehensions were entertained for the Nenorsis frigate, which had the Veneradlc's stores, &c. on board, and was then labouring in a tremendous swell, her forecastle in sea. The Malta, of 84 guns, was for some time in great danger in the gale—she drove, and toucned some rocks, but happily brought up again. Two Torbay sloops were lost, and of one not a siNgle man belonging to her was saved.

Saturday morning, on account of the hard frost, His MAJESTY did not hunt, but SOMA ter break fast, kliS MAJESTY, attended by Sir H. DUKE ARD NEALE, General Srmcia, and several other at tendants, walked tnrough the fields 'to Spittle Bar racks to the Riding House, where His MAJESTY'S horses were in waiting.
