THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, .` • TUESDAY. JULY;. ; A telegraphic message was yesterday received the Admiralty from Plymouth, stating. that the Frs.sicli have been driven out of Ferrol and Corm)! ma. and tiltire.l3. defeated. A Messenger arrived last' night at the home of the SPANISH AMBASSADOR. We understand that he has brought the official dispatches annuencing these events. The Favourite cutter arrived. at Plymouth on Friday evening from Gijon, which place she left the iiith of June, and brings mitt account of the French evacuated that place, which was again in the pousessiuti of the Spaniards. The Fa vourite left His Alajeaty's ship Inflefatisalore emir ing off Gijon.. We are sorry to learn, through the above chair tr6l, that the French retook St. Andero on the night of the day On which the Spaniards drove them out in the morning. It seems that the enemy, to time umnber of 3COts, took the Patriots by surprise, and it is much feared that nearly the whole of them were either killed or token. Two Spanish Officers, a General and a Colonels effected their escape; by jumping 9fis their horses and taking to a small-beat, in which they peddled themselves ont of the harbour vo4 the but-ends of two muskets; they afterwards got on board a Masse mum, from which they were takes by the Favourite. A report prevailed yesterday, that it is in con templation of Ministers to dissolve the Parliament. It is, perhaps, only a speculation, founded upon the embarrassed state with which they were obliged to struggle during the last Session of Parliament. Utiles, they can take the field in greater force next session, we do not indeed see how they ctin attempt to carry on the public business, find we do not know any anode by which they can strengthen tliemseives, but by u general election. Purliameat it is supposed will meet iu October, us the state of public affairs will probably require supplies long before Christmas. If we could lend implicit belief to en article doted from Helstinburg iu Sweden, as bite as the 14th of las: mouth, it might open • Vast field for specula (ton, and almost warrant very important conclu sions. ‘Ve :Allude to the assertion of a traveller, that had - suet at Memel, th • Emperor of Russia, who was an' his journey to Kettingsherg." neitlter the nave of this trereller, nor the (ley uroti which be saw MADAN nett at Memel, are spe ; we eivereover have seen it asserted in articles frets Petetabargh, that Prince SCIIWARTZSMIINIte t the Austrian Ambesualor, had been ordered to leave that capita!, in consequence of the investor) of the Duchy of Warsaw by the Archduke FERDINAND. It is perfectly well know ri to Hie MAJESTY'S Mini*. ter*. that ALEXA !MR, at the time when The most recent account left the capital of the Russian Em pire, was completely under the controul of CAO. LINCOV RT ; and surrounded by a variety of French Emissaries of both sexes. who seduced and•ansused, while CAULINGOURT terrified and threatened I • . Under surii tirrumstances, it is very improbable. that the Eu1 . .6114311 should venture on so bold a measure, as n visit to FREDERIC' WILLIAM. But, therein auother very cogent motive, which, we fear, will perpetuate and cement the political union be tween the two Empires of France and Russia. Of all the territorial acquisitions, as we have had occa sion already more then once to remark, which the Sovereign of Muscovy can make, the most important to hint is that of Finlaurf and of Bothnia, to the heed of the Gulf of that name. He is at this hoar in complete possession of the whole tract, as far at Tomas ; and the internal dissensions of Sweden, the elevation of the Duke of SUPREMA NI A to the Throne, together with the exheusture of the Mo narchy, in Miser' ueßce of its losses, present en neca- Aioll for A I.ISX s NOE* to confirm and consolidate his 4:iiiiritiests, winch. probably. never can return. •Naeotyori, who has himself seized oil thc Coati :mutt Pniviticcs of petimark, or holds them in cotnplete subjection, will permit his Muscovitt Ally to retain his cooqueets in Finland. But weorither m honour, now its pain". coo ever simetioa so *atroci ous an attark on a nation, allied to us by every tie. it is therefore to France, and not to England,- that AtExam:ma must look for preserving his recent ac quisitions, which cover Petersburgb on its most vulnerable quarter. Till, therefore. we know, front iscontestible authority, that the CZAR has reached Koningsberg, we must continue to doubt, however much we may wish, the truth of that assertion. The subjection of all Italy. either to Wm ATAars iu iwrson, or to his brother-in-low, JOACIIIIII MU RAT, is at leogth consummated by the seizure of the Papal States, and of the city of Home. To lose any time in commenting upon, ur in pointing out the falsehood and fallacy, of his reasons, if such . they can. indeed, be properly denominated, for thus confiscating, to his own usr, the patrimony and residence of the Supreme Head of the Catholic Church. would be altogether ithsurd. With regard to the time when BONAPARTE has thought proper to cousuniinate this annexation of Rome and its territory to his immense dominions,. we cannot, by any ansus, coincide is the remark _ ~-•rA~ The Courier upon it ; naniely, ‘ that it is in polscy, whenever he is suppol e d to'be in di culties, 'to do something dash*. io order to a and intimidate his adversaries." The. Decrem • dated the ' l7th of May, NoW, el tainly Was not thew involved in any diffieultimi On die contrary; bad defeated the A:didn't* CHARLLS; compeliNitlitt.l.La to cross the Damitoi at Creme; overturned all opposition; advance' to Vienna; taken it, after a siege of three dart and was preparing to pass the Danube. In orderflith attack the Austrian army on the North Bank. difficulties have only corumeneed since his defi•su on the gist and 5: 2 d of May---several days subse quent to his Decree. And, no doubt, Box APallTe neither foresaw, nor expected, the disaster of that battle. If we were, therefore, to name a period of time when the Corsican Emperor might have eon *demi himself as ut the avid of human greatuess. it was precisely before the memorable action at As perii and Eisaeradorlf. If. indeed, we could view, or appreciate, the leisure of the Pupal territories, and of Rome, as an abstract measure, independent of its injustice, or violence, *e may, perhaps, incline to thiuk, that the people, thus trauderred from the sacerdotal to the imperial yoke, will, eventually, he no losers by the exchange of masters, and of administration. The Government of an elective Ecelesiitstie, gene rally advanced in years before be ascended the Pontifical Chair, and little interested is the felicity of a people, over whom be tould •ossly reign for a very limited tone, is, as ewe:tenet has 'thew°, one of the moot vicious and d.:fective pocsLbk. In re turn, however, for the blessings whleh Navoi.v.oa promises the Romans, under .‘ the will of the greatest of Heroes," they will have to set off the scourge of conscription. The Successor of Charle magne, if he continue to tyrannise Europe, will, unquestionably, associate to his victories, and his toile, the inhabitants of the Banks of the Tiber.— Such • prospect is not likely to reconcile them to their nevi Muster, however little they may have benefitted, for ages, by the Papal Administration. The Court . of King's Bench, yesterday, exhi bited the extraotdivary spectacle of Mr. WAKKLE endeavouring to discredit Mrs..CLAnze, and Sir Vicsair.(:tuus defending her.. This scene eve displayed upon a trial of an action against Mr. WARDLE, ' brought lay Mr. WRIGHT. an starer, to recover the value of furniture for Ike lady's house, at Westhourne-place. A full repot of this interesting trial, the remit of winch wails verdict against Mr. WastoLL,is given in on r)sulaue. giseist columns. When we recollect the evidence given at the liar of the House of Commons, ou tiro Duke of You's case, and Mr. ‘Valtril.it'S at public dinners, and compare them with the facts disclosed yesterday upon the trial, we are struck with astonishment. Mr. '.VARDLE then re peatedly asserted that he knew nothing of Mrs. CLARKII I but as a witness, whom he sought osit, is) csmsequence of 'hiving learised• that she wall is ' possession of facts, that would Moist iu estabs lishing his charges against the Duke of YDRS.—C From the trial and venliet of yesterday, we bind that he contracted a cHit of 16001. for the furniture of this strange lady's house, Its Weithourne a place.—Was this in payment for her person of her testimony ? And if not, was Din WARDLE only the tool and agent of another ?—We have heard something that favours this latter idea. We always thought there was an excuse for Mts. CLARKS'S hostility to the Duke of YORE— .. Hell lass no fury like • woman scorn'tl." But what can we !•ayr in defence of Mr. WARDLE ? His popularity has been short-lived indeed. - - - It was fitia!ly settled, yeetertlay, that Lord PAUEr is to have a counnuod in the grand Expedition now preparing. S►r Ascrucs. WjLLEILFT, it is said. had positive iustructious not to entertipain till lie should he re inforced ; nor before' a general plan of operations should be agreed upon with the Spanish Govern ment, which would insure these exertions the Spa nitwits owe to us, and to themselves.

She was taken otf Arundahl, is Norway, hating been only four hours out : Two of the Danes were left on board the prize ; an officer and two Men were put on board from the Tal&ot to natiote her. A few days after parting company, the two prisoners made an ineffectual attempt to retake the vessel. The prize-master being below, end ones( the sailors at the helm, whilst the other was on the forecastle taking the suit's latitude, • Dane come behiorl the latter, and threw him overboard ; the 011111 at the helm immediately ran forward, aml male a blow at him with • billet of wood, which the prisoner avoided, and made • stroke et the suitor with a hatchet, which severely wounded him on the shoulder. The prise-master hearing the noi4e, came on deck ; seeing one or his companions is the wrier, and the other struggling with two Danes, who were attempting to throw him overboard also. he 'prong forward, and made so good use of a large piece wf wood, that the ptisoners were boon forced to sorreinier, and properly secured.
