A most singular story has just reached us from a quarter in which we have.never yet met with any inaccuracy, and we therefore .give it to the public as we received it. The hou:;e in which resided BUDNAPAUTE and MARmoNT, either accidentally or by design, took fire, and the mighty hero had nearly terminated leis career after the manner , of an auto do fa.— IthamoNr, not possessing the agility of his master, from being disabled at Salamanca, was so much scorched as to cause his death, while the monster himself narrowly escaped with life 'from the flames. It is a foolish adage, but-i does seem that "TILL' DEVIL% CHILDREN TATUCK I S LUCK." By the last arrivals from the North, ,we, are : not only put in possession of intelligence of very cort siderable importance, but arelaught in look for evert more momentous events from the turn of circumstances on the grand theatre, which is ap parently of a nature to render the news that must' shortly reach Silesia from Spain, of extraordinary efficacy in balancing the claims and deciding the policy of the various powers whose pretensions are now at issue. The immense additional weight with which Great Britain would now treat, when she would come to congress with free and inde. pendent Spain in her hand, will he felt in every ramification of every Continental Cabinet; and if the aspect of affairs be such as these latest accounts represent them, must have the effect of confirming all that is favourable and advantageous to this 'country among the nations engaged in the conflict, and of greatly reducing the probabilities of a result such as BUONAPARTE desires, either shottld he acquire peace by relinquishing the ter ritorial and other spoils his ambition has accumu late:l, or again try the fortune of war to restore him to the preponderanCe he hal lost Mi nisters', have . received tliSpatches from the Head qutaters Of -the Allied Army, the contents of which are understood to be highly favourable. They are reported to state, that the Russian and Prus sian armies have received large reinforcements, and arc fully prepared for resuming hostilities with the highest prOspect of ultimate success.; Yt is also said, that they now exceed the French armies both in numbers and equipment. The dispatches from Lord CATUCART are to the 16th. They make no mention of the prolongation of the Armistice, which our Readers are aware we have nil along treated as' a mere unfounded speculation ; a "kind of quid pro quo for the equally unauthorized rumour of its rupture. But the still more important 'fact announced is, that a Foreign Minister (iee our Naval News)• has arrived, by whom our Ciovernment have received en invitation to take a part in the negociations for a Peace, should the Armistice be continued, and the expected Congress opened: Add tothis, that a Com-, merelot Treaty, in which Britain ,Russia, and Prussia -are the partiCS,j3 upon the eve of being concluded, raid the Public will at onecyerceive that the situa tion of the Continent is intered in so material a degree that it is put out of the power of the Tyrant to continue or renew that diabolical sy6tem of hostility which he hturso nearly succeeded in en"- tirely establishing against our commercial pros perlty and greatness: The terms of this Treaty will be'eminently advanta:,.,!eons to all concerned, and. In spite.of the-ufforts of . our inveterate foe,' the egnilibrinm : of the world will be restored through' the medium of that common blesbing of mankind, a free trade. Private letters from Gottenburgb state, that a Eussian Expedition had arrived off the Island of Engen, with troops destined to join the CROWN piuNcE in Poinerania , while from Altona, of the 20th ult. we learn, that an opinion "was enter tained there, that the French would evacuate Ilamburgh, they not being able to maintain them selves against the congregated strength of the Swedish, Russian, and Hanseatic troops *which c;)llectilig in that vicinity. A considerable part of the gar bon was asemblea at Harburgh. We have bad a rod in pickle for the Party these some days, bnt the pressure of matter has pre- vented its application to their hardened hides. We cant assure them, however, that it is only sus 'tended, not thrown away, ulthough the indig nant voice of the country 4iready 'Alias a pu nishment nptiti them almost severe enough to sa tisfy even our sense of 'justice. Dean Swtrr has soid, " Blessed ore. they who expect nothing, for they shall not be dissappointed if this be true, the E'er:TY ore the most b/osed persons iothis cottony, for they have all along (even. to the morning Moll ..the,Towcr and Pork guns roared conviction into their unwilling ears) expected tIoTEING from the Peninsula. 'But Ave rather think the saying is unfonded for they have exhibited very grievous7signs . and symptoms of disappointment a.)d distress-of which more anon, when our limits perinit. We have this day reed% cd accotints from Oporto to. the :Nth ult. and from Malta to the 14th May. The latter . involve a long history of the symptoms, precautions, and mode of treat ment necessary in . cases Of plague, - with which we need not trouble our Readers,' and the more especially as there is every reason to hope that the danger apprehended front infection in that island is abated, if not entirely done away. - 7 From Oporto the following interesting 'para grriph induces a fervent expectation that the event we yeiterday mew coned as probable, name ly, the seizure ,of the pillage of Spain, which was sent off for France.op the 24th, has been achiev ed by the aetivity.4ind valour of the patriotic Spa.; niards. " OPORTO, JUNE 23.-4 is .positively asserted here, that 49SEFIt BUONAPARTE'S Prime Minister, and all the contrihn tions levied at and proceeding . from Madrid, have been taken by the Guerillas." The only article worthy of notice from Malta is as follows : " MALTA, MAY 12.—. The quarantine begun in the • city, now almost become one of observation, has been - determined by the merchants to he observed one wech longer. The Townsend sails homeward to-day with a bill of health, stating what has occurred, awl the rigorous pleasures which have been 'adopted by Government and the public. We suppose that bills of health cannot be given it much less than forty days frOm the 3d instant. No nois titsestecur, assA much hope is entertained that we shall escape the dreaded calamity. " The packet has been ,further detained, a Proclama tion having been issued, informing the public, that no other circumstance indicative of the plague had been disco vered by the Medical Board, who are examining all the houses in the city to ascertain the facts. I have ventui cd into the town to give you this pleasing intelligence. The vessels re sume their work tomorrow, and the embargo on the shipping has been taken off. On examining the houses of many fo reigners here,. a considerable quantity cf secreted arms and ammunition' has been discovered, which has caused almost as much alarm as has been occasioned by the report of the plague. A plan has also come 'to light, under which the French prisoners here were to be supplied with arms, which now, of course, will be prevented." • Altona rapers reached town last night, of the litb and 18th ult. which mention a letter from Stockholm, ameba& been distributed in Norway, stating the wish of the CROWN PRINCE not to pommit hostilities upon the Norwegians, but that ho wa s desirous of winning them by deeds of kindness, and mentioning that he. - had marched his forces to Pomerania for the purpose - offcarry ing on war against Denmark in holstein, Jutland or Zealand, if necessary, and avoiding hostilities itt Norway . . The only other material part of the statement is, that the guarantee of Austria to the annexation of Norway to Sweden, was daily ex pected alt Stockholm. Letters from Anima,. of the 30th. give some 'information relative to the Expedition from that port, previous to its sailing. It consists of 18,000 men, among whom-Atte 5000 of Withingham's division. Some transports have tailed, and ,the others will speedily follow them. The Duke Dm. PARQUE occupies the line ~of Castalla, Where the English 'were, of whose troops only one regiment and some detachments now remain." ANOTUER LETTER, SAME DATE. " The embarkation of the troops for the Ex ..;edition has continued with admirable order since the 27th. On the first day the artillery, carriages, and horses, were put on board the transports. On the 28th and 29th the English and Sicilian troops were embarked; and to-day the division of Withingham followed, and all the transport 3 were, then ready to sail. The total.of 'these. troops is 18;000, viz. 12,000 English, and 6;000 Spanish. The Expedition will he joined at the place of its destination by 5,000 Sicilians, and :3,000 Galicians, which will make in all26,ooomen. Their movements will be combined with a corps of 14;000 men already. in Catalonia. Titus a muss of 40,000 men will attract the attention of Suehet, who has already in his front 26,000 men belonging tO the 2d and 3LI army.'' . - - Notices of motions of thanks to the illustrious WaLtAburroN anti his brave Army Were given in both tionscs last night „.•• in the Lord* by Earl , BATuunsT,. anti in the Commons by Lord CAS.. TLEIMAGH,' amidst the hearty cheering of both Houses. To-morrow is the day fixed . fur that grateful purpose. Dispatches were yesterday' received from Sir Titr•rAnn PKI:LEW, oil Toulon, dated the sth of May. The particulars will appear in . 'the Gazette of this evening. Mr. Fisnan, Lhe King's Messenger, yesterday left the Foreign Office with Dispatches for, the Russian head-quarters, announcing the victory of Vittoria. Last evening Dispatches were sent off from Earl BATHURST to Field Marshal WaLLINGTON, to be forwarded to him in a fast sailing vessel. We understand that it is intended to confer the honours of tlie.Peerage , with; appropilate pen sions, upon T. GRAHAM, and Sir ROWLAND HILL, fur their distinguished conduct in the late battle. To the Dames of the hostages required from Hamburg!), we have to add three others, very re spectable, Luis, of the house of Luis and jvilc civan., Mr. Itycx.E.N, and Mr. BOLT. NAVAL N EWS. R r. 17 i.---`Ti e Ainphion frigate, Capt. STEWART, having arrived last night, as eon voy to the transports composing the expedition at this port, all was bustle here in consequence th:s afternoon ; at four o'clock the signal was made, for the ships to-weigh anchor, but the wind prov ing very light, and veering to the Eastward, they were obliged to desiit ; should the wind be more favourable in the morning, they will certainly sail. The Regiments embarked here are the 91st, 73d, 54th, and 25th. They are to be .joined by the 33d from Southampton, and Royals front Leith. — They carry an immense quantity of stores and camp -equipage. JULY 4,----The Little Auckland packet, Captain LYNNE, has-arrived this afternoon, after a short passage from Gottenburgh, and is supposed to have brought dispatches of consequence, as an,. Officer landed from her, - who set off immediately for London ; they are - generally. understood to be favourable, and are said completely to contradict the report of the renewal of the Armistice. The Diana, Captain M'DnNouou, has sailed to-day for Heligoland, with the Mails of the 21 inst. DEAL, JULY s.—Sailed his Majesty's ship Cunt- Berland for Keerriess ; and the York on a cruize oft Flushing.—Arrived the Archer. sloop_ of war front off Abe French coast, and remains. By ad *ices from Palermo, dated 23d May, we learn, that the Queen of Sicily was on the point of leaving the Island for Constantinople, and it was confidently expected, that Lord BENTINbIL would immediately join the British Anglo-Sicilian army in Spain. PORTSMOUTII, JULY s.—Went out of harbour the Rapt Oak, .Admirat Lord BEAucutitc, Capt. Stioai.LAND.--Came into harbour the /rope, 10, Capt. GARPOITT. The Snap, 14, Capt. SARTORIUS, is oppointed convoy for Guernsey. • Conic, JULY I.—Ye s terday sailed from our harbour his Mitjesty's ship Tyrian, Copt. BALD with socral transports under convoy for England, having militia on board, and several merchant vessels. FAL*OUTIt, JULY 3.---Arrived iliS AtlieSty'S ship Nymphen; with several sail.trOm.Portsmouth. She will take the ships no'W here to Portugal, &c. ELEVLN O'CLOCK, P..14,---Just arrived the Por; tuguese brig Phcenii Triumphaide, from "Rio-Ja neiro,. in 101 days. The Swift:o(re packet was . to leave Rio the day after. The Pincher, Captain DARTON, is ready for sea at Sheerness. The Kangaroo, Capt. HALL, at Sheerness, has replenished, and is ready for sea. The Matvina, of Aberdeen, has been: captured by an American privateer, after a close action of 50 minutes, in which the Captain was killed. The'Master of a vessel who arrived At Derry harbour on Saturday selennight, reported, that an American schooner privateer bad been seen in the Channel. On Sunday, the ships of war :yin in Llugh Swilly put to sea in quest of her. The Nimrod cutter arrived at Plymouth on Sa turday, haring left the Channel Fleet off Brest on Friday last ; she, in company with the Revolution noire frigate, reconnoitered the enemy's fleet on the Monday preceding, and found them to consist of seven sail of the line, two frigates, an d two brigs. A letter received.front an officer Ott board the Queen Charlotte, dated off Brest, the 29th ult. states, that a French SO gun ship and a frigate had come out, and obliged the.Revolutibnuaire frigate, will& was at anchor near the Black Rocks, to cut her ci:bles and put, to sea. They were chased by our squadron ; but being so tar to w i n d war d , could not get up with them. ' The Leviathan nynt of war, and Zephyr sloop of war, have arrived at Gibraltar front Malta, with a fleet under convoy, and sailed on the 4th ult. for England. The-number of prisoners taken in the glorious victory of Vittoria was iinkn o w n t o ou r i mmort al hero, WELLINGTON, when the dispatches came away. He was then pursuing the flying enemy ; hilt it was understood by his gallant Aid-de-Camp, Major FEERMANTLE, that since • the commence ment of the operations not less than 20,000 men had perished or been taken. Two French Gene rals were prisoners at Vittoria; when the - Major passed through that own in his way to England : and it was stated by them, that eight French Ge nerals bad been taken, wounded, or killed. • A letter from the neighbotirhood of Burgos 'stifles, that when General BOYER %vas passing that way in his flight, he said to the inhabitants— "•VilßDlNAND is lilielY to be your summer King-; but JosEvit will be your winter one." Though the French Generals have sacrificed much to save their men, yet it is impossible but that they must have lost a very considerable num ber. We have heard, indeed, that they admit a a loss of 20,000. Had it not beer for the nature of the &mind, which rendered our cavalry ithnoSt unserviceable, still greater numbers must have b: en cut off. In the course of the pursuit a large •bmly struck off to the left from Salvatierra, in the hope of gaining Tolosa, Which is on the main road from Victoria to Bayonne. These, we may hope, will be intercepted by the Ganicians, who, with part of Sir THOMAS GRAHAM'S division, were sent . forwartt on that road. The troops embark e d a t H arw i c h ar e d e stined, fOr Stralsund ; and the expeditiOn is to be corn manchid by General GIBBS, WIIO, with his staff, leave London this night for the above port. Gem:rat HOUSTON will command iir Portsmouth garrison and district until the return of General o,kKes from Malta. General MAITLAND intends taking his departure fur that island in a few days. There is no alteration in the price of Bread this week.
