Lieutenant MlTCRSLCarrived last night at the Admiralty-Office, with dispatches from St. Helena. At the time Lieutenant M trcti cu. left the island, the Valsamu' French frigate of 44 guns, had put into St. Helena, and was there captured by a British squadron, without filing a shot. Our ships had hoisted Dutch colours, and the Frenchmen mis taking them for friends. fell into their power. On boding her error, she immediately struck. The Volerrnut was one of the squadron which sailed from Brett on the 14th of December, consisting of ti:at liigate and six ships of the line, under Jeaoms BONAPARTE and Admiral Putt t•ststs, not Guts 1. sum t, as has ►een incerreely stated. The arrival of the rest of the squadron, at St. Helena, was 'hourly expeded, and a great bustle prevailed in the island. Our force there is, we understand, perfeCtly able to give a good acconat of the enemy, should they have the ill fate to put into St. Helena. We have received Americas papers to the 11th Raft.—The Bill, prohibiting the importation of cer tain articles of British manufaeture into the United States has passed, but it is not to take effect until the lith November, instead of the Ist July, as was proposed originally. ?nun the remoteness of the period to which its operation is deferred, we are inclined to consider it merely as • a threat in aid of their demands against England, and to in sure a more favourable and speedy termination of the present differences. The dispute with Spain leas also occupied the attention of the American Legislature, and is likely to terminate amicAly. The House of Representatives have for a long time been engaged in a secret discussion upon the enbjee, and a considerable majority have decided in favour of pacific measures. The New York Pa per, of the 7th of April, says, 4. The Bi,ghans, Capt. XVI ttt AMOK, arrived at Philadelphia en ;he 4th of April from China. On the 22d of March, in lat. e 5. long. 65. she was board by the elevated frigate, Capt. WtOliT, who informed Capt. Wic at•esow, that a French squadron, under Admiral Castrate/tome, had captured the outward bound China Fleet." -This accnum carries in it internal evidence of falsehood. The outward bound Erg India Fleet, which sailed from Portsmouth, on the 4th of March, under convoy of the Adamant man of war, was left all well on the 24th, by the Else, .!/race, and Peivphenter, lately arrived at Ports mouth. It consisted of the Bengal, Elphmstene, Arinschelssa, Perreeernner , Laikra Jane DUIIIIIT, Ceres, Waterer Cale*. David Scott, Esser, Lord Castlereagh, Hugh Inglis, and the Sir Williams Bees ley, for the East Indies ; Britannia, and the Scorpion, for the South Seas ; Royal Ch,rlotte, Eagle, and the Alexander, for the Cape of Good Hope. Now. it is impossible that a fleet, which sailed on the 4th of March, from England, could have arrived in the above longitude and latitude, which is about the situation of the Mauritius, on the 22d! and, it ap pears besides, that the feet in question was left all well on the 24th, subsequent to the date of its al leged capture. The huglvent Bill went throtigh a Committee, yesterday, in the House of Lords. Its benefit is to extend to all persons imprisoned for debt, previous to the Ist of February last, whose debts do not ex ceed 1,3001. Accounts have been received at Bombay, of au *lion having taken place off Batavia, between an English frigate and the Se/auk/we French frigate.— The latter would have been taken, had she not taken shelter under the batteries. The squadron under Air J. STR4CR AW is fitting for sea with all possible expedition. He is sup posed to be going on 4 long cruise after JRltO.4l BON A P• RTE. who is said to be returring to France, having ascertained that the Cape is in our pos session. The Jupiter, Gissow, from London. for Lisbon, Was rai-tured and scuttled, on the 9th ult. by the Camilla, French frigate, from St. Domingo, for brest. Sixteen sail of Fist Indiamen arrived at Macao on the 9th December. A few vessels, for England, under convoy, sailed from Smyrna on the 30th March. It is said, that Denmark has been induced to join the league of Russia, Sweden, and England, and that a treaty of alliance between these four Powers la in great forwardness. The High Court of Parliament met, yesterday, with the usual formalities, and proceeded ups.n tic trial of Viscount MLLVILL E. Witnesses were ex :- mined, for the purpose of establishing some stated in Mr. PLomitit's speech, and the evidence ‘vin closed, Mr. ADAM addressed their Lordship's ou the part of the Noble Defendant. /1.3 speech occupied the whole of the day. The hall. i.l con sequence of the judicious regulations which have been adopted, was not so crowded as us.ral. Mr. WHIT' S LAD replies this morning, and the it t, vaientd, will give judgment on Monday. a Alt SIR FRANCIS AND THE MISSES BARINGS' GRAND BALL.

The reason for their quitting France in so pesilons a way. the boat they came over in being only of about three tons burtben, has not transpired. Some say it was to avoid the 'lea of Imperial proscription denounced against them— others, that their business is wkh this Government.
