MILAN, JUNE 17. The resolution rf the F.mpernr with respect to the future fate of tse 'lode Republic of Lucca is as yin unknown. _ _ We inserted a lett.T tram Berlin on Saturday, in which the delay that has taken place in the conti nental communications, announced in I lis Ma r:.srv's Speech at the opening of the late Session of Parliament, is partly explained. Much abuse may have been praaised in the name of Private Corre spondence, but we can rely upon the atuhet ticity of our communication. The Hamburgh Mail due on 'WeJnestlay arrived on Saturday ; and announces, in the rapid nod constant movements of couriers, an increased aetivity of diplomatic intercourse be tween the Courts of Berlin and St. Petersburgh, as atediatory powers between England and France. The Austrian Minister, Count !Ira R HEM is eau, is on sue cve of his depart.ii c tor Vi.mna upon business of the almost importaace. Ills Excellency is much at rcited to England. The ifrireri'a convoy very narrowly escaped cap t.:re. The r.i.t sal: of tie line at Carthagena had heard of their corning down the Mediterranean, and were waiting off that port, to intercept them. Fortun ately, the iro IL-rse fr;gate, Capt. Bovtir, who was also acipiamied with the circumstance, SAW the Span. ships, and mado 4A in the supposed track that the c,invoy woold come. In half an hour af terwards. she spoke the Anion, and the whole con voy stood over to the Barbary shore, and passed through tae Gut of Gibraltar in tl.e night. A fog also came on, which tavomed thei- p,siab them. Twelve trar,sports joined the con f -o:n tar. There was no ship of ^ar lying at Malta 'Jut tl.e prison ship. The Exertrrit was b. ne at N. vies ; ani the .I,n d bri, ire and S. .r UPI.' at Gib raltar. Co,,r/ion brig, which came !rom Halt.: with ale emivnyi parted company off Cadiz. The 7 erntszant sloop was repairing at Gibraltar. No accounts of or fro.n L.'rd NELSON have been r-ceived subsequent to those brought home by the Cu,a'ix. 'flat vessel teconnoitred enemy s.n the 20th of June, about 300 leagues N.E. of A..- qua.. llitd his Lordship left that I.land on the Jay after the rt, ieur, be could any have Oveitaken the enefily until the 9.1 d, since which has intervetasd only a space of three weeks', affording tinso bstrely stifiic.:eut for the arrival of any dispatches from Loidsh:p sulsiequent to that date. We find, how. ever, the public impatience already exhausted, ttinplatmg the arrival of the enemy in the Chc,a peal:, at Newfoundland, or on their way to the East Indies. A Ministerial Paper, anticipating their escape from Lord telaesota, says : 44 Should they sneak into an American asylum, it must strike the people of the United States with the highest aci:niration of British valour, and fill them with awe at mir power, to see 17 French and Spanish sail of the line shrink ing from 10 British." The Combined Fleet certainly fled (Torn the West Indies, panic-struck at the name of Lord NELSON. It is also certain, according to the repnrt uf the Creieur, that they were on the el9th within a hundred leagues of the Chesapeak, being about tour days distance, according to their rate of sailing, from the time they passed Antigua. If the crews were so sickly, as they have been represented. and the vessels sailed so very badly, and yet they sailed very well out to the West Indies, these dream stances, no doubt, increase the probability that they may have sought shelter in an American port. We see, however, that event, if, indeed, any such has taken piece, in a light very different from that of the Ministerial Paper to which we allude, and with a very different feelieg. The Americans want no new lessen from Lord NELSON to teach them to admire British valour, and perhaps we should purchase their contempt of the French at too dear a rate by a safe aliem in the Chesapeak from our vengeance. If the dispatches of the Curieu r afforded the slightest geettrei to snipe& that the French meant to reek shutter is an American port, we centend that the English Minister was guilty of neeligence, if he di.l not immediately send nut a remonstrance upon the hare probability of such a result. When S;r d s Es Cite ler's expedition lately touched et Lisbon, it is 1 notorious that the French and Spanish Gevetnmere remonstrated against its gray in that port, or , eere only prevented from doing so in t !e most positive and pre sing manner by the departure of the expe dition for Gibraltar. The conditA of France, which is yestrei •ed by no considerately; of public right or justice ir; the pursuit of it: obj-et, is no doubt a bad example for imitation ; but England is, therefore, the more excusable in insisting noon ~ he retwpown and pushing what is right to the utmost extremity. We maintain then that the United States cannot, under the present circumstances, afford proteetiol to the French fleet in any of their ports aga i nst Lord N Lucre, without aCting partial!) , towards France. The French cannot plead, in jusr;sieation of such a proceeding, either the perils of the sea, or stress of weather. They go into the Chesapeak in enntra diaion of their own professions, to avoid enconn- tering the enemy whom they came oat avnwe !ly to fight and to conquer. England assign-d as one of the grou.ids of the present war with Spain, that Ilis CATHOLIC MAJESTY afforded facilities for the repairing and fitting nut of French ships at Cadiz. Will she then surer the Chesapeak to become a naval station for the purpose of building and equip ping an enemy's flitet there for the conquest of her colonies in the West Indies ? If Bn. has no tight to build a fleet in the Chesapeak, for the purpose of hostility against Englaad,sohas he no right to send a fl•et from France to that station, in the prostcu• ion of hostility against us. The United States will, of course, require some explanation of the °Nett and motive of this extraordinary visit. Will the French Admiral say that he fled, panic-struck, at the name of Lord Nstsoes 1 He will more probably plead sick ness, and the bad state of his ships. This answer would carry falsehood on the face of it. Leaving Lord Nessota out of the question, we can scarcely suppose, that the fLet was not in a state to make its way•back to Europe. However, be the answer what it may, how can we, or how can America, be certain, that its visit to the Chesapeak does not form a par t of the original plan of operations; that BONAT A art did not intend, from the beginning, to keep a fleet of 17 sail of the line safe in the Chesapeak, ready to avail itself of the first opportunity to pounce down upon the \Sest•lndies t The word and honour of molar Governments may be accepted as a se cavity for their conduet ; but has not Revolutionary France EJ. Tiered snore by false promises and pro testions, than by its arms ? But, leaving the interest of England aside, America must surely fed for her own safety. Thcre is notoriously a strong French party in A inci ;ca. rpulation is not yet conso ltdared into such an uniform mass of loyalty and unanimity as may bid defiance to faelion and sedi tion. Amerce contai::s thousands of Jacobins and agitator,, to whom a French Fleet of seventeen s ail a the line would arord a rallying point, at once fomenting their spirit, and extending their prin ciples. The case of the two French tiigates, which remained for so great a part of last year blockaded in an Amercan port, by two i.nglish, furnishes no answer to these arguments. Their presence did "4* {'not involve any of the conseipences which America ti .J .England wn•IJ have a right to apprehend frorri a force of seadnteen sail of the line in the Cheitipealt. . f n letter from Gibraltar, dated June IS, iiarcin appear disposed to quarrel with tns, having taken this morning one of ph belonging to the United States, and into Algeziras."

On Friday Morning LieutenantsCrilonel nett RT v Loa, of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, Privat..7 Secretary to t h e Duke of YORK, hAd a long interview with Lord 11 avvalsaua v, when he was appointed confidential Secretary to His Msacsr v. He is to read the dispatches, and to write His MAJESTY'S answers; he set off early on Saturday morning for Weymouth, to attend His MAJESTY. This Gentl 'man was employed by the Duke of YORK to be hi; Secretary when His Royal Highness went abroad last war. His Royal I lighness has since presented him with a Colonel's commission in the Guards. The C2romundel, from Botany Bay and China, for London, is captured by a French privateer. On Saturday a Mail arrived from New-York and Halifax, hrotiglit to Falmouth by the Prince Ernest packet, Capt. Persitr, in 19 days from the latter place. The Two Friends, from London for Charleston, has also been captured off Charleston, and sent for Guadaloupe, by a French schooner privateer, which had the day before captured the Join). Cot.

The o! , jeft of the expedition 'ender General CRAIG was not precisely ascertained at Gibraltar at the late of the last accounts ; but the opinion most ge nerally accredited was, that Sir .lAlles CRAW would stop at Malta, as Commander in Chief of the forces in the Mediterranean; end that General Sir Jouirr S TEW Ait T would go on with 5000 men, to t.lee pos session of Al xandria. The troops are all very healthy oo board, and there never was .n army in higher order, or fitter fir any kind of service. Government, we understand, are possessed of ac counts from the Cape of Good Hope to the 27th April. and from the Isle of Franco to the lith of the Sallie month. A corvette arrived at the Cape nn the 23.1 from France with dispatches, which hid created a considerable degree of bustle. Orders had in consequence been issued, compelling the far mers to deliver into the public stores a large quan tity of grain, &c. at stipulated trice,. and arrange ments were made for the reception and accommoda tion of a force from Europe. Several prizes had been sent to the Maori ins, and, amongst the num ber, was the Ciwomat.del, from China, for London. with 6000 chests of tea, and a variety of other va luable articles This day the 7th Loyal London Volunteers will rooster in America square, and proceed to High bory-iinme, Islington, to be onspefled by Lieut.- Colonel Nielsen', after which th-y will fire at a target for a silver clip.
