Just before this Paper was: put to Press, we re ceived the following interesting intelligence, brought by the Anholt Mail:— „. GOTTENBURG, Jur 11--Some trifling skir mishes have taken place, and the Russians are re treating_towards Riga, after throwing 20,000 bar rels of grain into thesea at Liebau. The French Army continue to desert : the whole corps of black bussars have gone Over to the Russians. It is expected peace with England will be pro claimed here on the return of the Courier, whp went to England by the last packet. Every thing seems also amicably arranged be tween Russia and Great Britain. Admiral MARTIN is off Riga, where he has. bad a very friendly communication with the Governor, and Captain • A cicLom has beep ashore to assist in erecting a telegraph, and in -specting their gun-boats. In every part of the Russian coast ,the greatest energy prevails, and orders are given to ship off every thing, especially grain and provisions, from Liehau. A Cork Paper received this morning states, that an account had been received in that city from America, that the War Measures which bad been passed in the House of Representatives, had been rejected in the Senate by a majority of two. In resuming our observations upon the im portant documents lately published in the French papers, we shall confine ourselves principally to the letter written by the French Minister for_Fo- reign Affairs to Lord CASTLEREAGH, containing an offer to negotiate, and his Lordship's answer: To use .the emphatic language of. Mr. SHERI DAN last night in the House of Commons, a more insidious, perfidious, and insulting propo .sition never, was made. BUONAPARTE says, `,` the calamities which Spain and South America suffer Should naturally excite. the interest of all nations." Undoubtedly they should ; but surely it is the na plus ukra of human effrontery for 'the man who was and is the cause of all the accumu lated miseries which the people of Spain have suffered, , and are suffering ; to hold such language. But how does he propose 'to re lieVe their sufferings ? why,.by obtaining by treaty, that which he cannot obtain by' arms,—the quiet possession of Spain for his brother JOSEPH. He calls upon this country to /abandon her Allies to violate her most solemn engagements, and to let him quietly enjoy the fruits 'of his perfidy. But what are the inducements which he holds out to us, to engage us to accept this offer?' He offers to leave to our allies Sicily, which he has attempt ed in vain to invade,. And Portugal, from Which his armies have been driven with loss and dis grace. Such • are the tempting offers with which he hoped to delude us had a negocia lion, the effect of which would have' been to Ta ralyse our_ exertions in the Peninsula, to . ex cite the distrust of our Allies, and to damp the ardour of those Powers in the North, who are now making an effort to maintain their indepen dence: „The answer returned by Lord CASTLE EEAGH to this proposal was, again to Use. thelan plage of Sr. SHERIDAN, " wisely and. rightly given, and with a spirit and dignity 'which were at once worthy the English Government, due to the Al lies of England, and calculated to promote her best interests." The reason whyAlinisters did not lay this correspondence before Parliament is obvious : the French Government had not answered Lord CO,.TLEREAGH'S Letter, and it would.' have been itnProper to lay the letters 'before' the 'House, until it.was ascertained that• the correspondence was at end. We do not think it necessary, as we stated yes terday, to analyse the whole of the correspondence between the French and 'Russian negociators, to chew the perfidy and injustice which have. marked every act of BUONAPARTE'S conduct ; we shall merely content ourselves with observing, that IiUONAPARTE has been forced to confess that which has been so stoutly denied by some orators in this country, viz. the severe effects which were produced iu France by our Orders in Council. The official account of tho action with the Da nish gun-brigs is expected to appear in the 'Ga rttte ,t.to-ralurrow. i.AL NEWS. v- - PLYMOUTIf, JULY 15.—Arrived this morning French cbasse mar,ee, of about 15 tons burthen, with a CarFo of wines, prize to the Plivzix lugger -privateer, belonging to Jersey, which vessel, a few days 'since whilst cruizing on the enemy '.s coast, took possession of a French fishing boat, and removed her 'crew to the privateer;" part of the crew of -the - latter were immediately dispatched in the. enemy's boat to cut out two chasse-marces, then lying at the mouth of the harbour of ••L'Oriene, Which was effected without any loss. it is supposed the other has proceeded for Sicily, as she liar not arrived here. Soozi after ,the chasse-marees were brought out, the fishing ; boat was given up to her crew. Also arrived the Hero, MAftTrsr, frorn London, 'and the New Province, RAI:Iy, from Lymington. Sailed the Jalouse sloop of war, with the fol lowing vessels under convoy, for Falmouth, where they are to wait For convoy, viz: the transports Henry, WILLSO . N, and Dcedalo, HENNAM, with cargoes of rum from his Majesty's . victualling stores at this port, for 'Gibraltar ; the transport ship Ann, belonging to this port, REW, Master, bound to Lisboit with a detachment of the 11th Regiment •of Foot ; the brig Dashei, belonging to Dartmouth, R. HYicE, jun. Master, bound to Malta, with . a cargo; and the Vrow Anniz Maria, STEVE/4SON, Master, bound. to Lisbon. Arrived the Nimrod hired armed cutter from the Channel Flees; and the In4lligent gun-brig from a cruize. r• PORTSMOUTH, JULY 16.—Sailed his Majesty's ship Sprightly, with a convoy for . Plyrnoutls ; and the Hotspur, with a convoy of transports only, or Lisbon. His Majesty's ship Pique will, sail to-morrow with the remaining merchantmen for Spain, Por tugal, and Gibraltar. Sailed his Majesty's ship Ardent with a convoy for Guernsey. FALMOUTH, JULY 14. -- Nothing arrived or sailed to-day. P. S. A signal has just been made from St. Anthony's Head, of a meichant vessel being driven ashore by a Frenoh privateer a little to the northward of the Lizard. The Nereus, ,of 36 guns, Captain HEYWOOD, sailed, on Wednesday for Portsmouth, with dis patches for Rio Janeiro, taking with her under convoy the Northampton and Euphrates, for Bengal. NAVAL . ACHIEVEMENT.—We are happy at har ing it in our power to notice the following iwrti culars, in addition - to the account of the brilliant exploit off Bilboa. The Rover, Sparrow,-and Lyra, were the three brigs attached to the squadron.— Lieutenant MARTIN, of the latter vessel; having been directO to gather intelligence frOm, the fishermen On the coast, landed only with a serjeant of marines, one private, and two sailors. Per ceiving, about a mile distant, a signal flying on a fort, that active OffiCer, with-his handful of men, proceeded to- the spot, and having scaled the walls, hauled down the colours with his own hands, brought them off, and, we believe, has them still in his possession. Immediately on their departure, a detachment of abont thirty French cavalrS , galloped down -to the shore ; but the ," undaunted mettle of the gal lant few," instead of being deterred by this bra vado, seemed only to gather new impulse to exer tion. Lieutenant MARTIN, on his getting on board, offered' his services to destroy the whole of the torts on that bank of the river with fifty men.—Tvventy-five were accordingly im mediately ordered from the Lyra, and the like number, with a Lieutenant from the Roller. Boats were also fitted out from the other ships to attack the other forts,,,and thus com menced an achievement of importance, equal to its complete success. The depots destroyed were, we understand, full of supplies for the enemy.-- Lieut. 'ALLATIN'S return was Most providentially timed. After the - entire destruction .of his fort, the boats not being free to tome for the crews as soon as was expected, he would have had ro (oaf ter his men -in an adjacent village kb; the night, but, the boats, though late, fortunately arrived to carry them on board before d'4'-break, which time about 1500 French troops made_thei-; appear:- ance - on the coast. BRIGHTON,. JULY I6.—Our Theatre has opened with a good theatrical,corps, but has not yet re ceived the patroliagewhich.it deserves. WRENCH, from the Lyceum Theatre,. is your M.anageri. is a respectable roan in private life, and " bears Nis faculties meekly" in his managerial. sove reignty. HOLtAND and PO ;',ELL, two_ London Performers, of known merit, are in the coin pany. The Busy • Body was well supported by these performers,' as well as bra Mr: OWEN 'and Mr. BENNET: WRENCH wtts Marplot, HOL LAND Charles, and POWELL Sir George Airy. Mrs. BRERETON was lively and pleasant in Miranda. We had a very good addition to our company in a Miss 'SinNEy, Who displayed .talents in Isabinda much above the character.' We never' heard of her before, and believe she is new to the stage, but we predict that she will be an ornament to it, as she has the reconunendation of a•very interesting person, a gogct voice, pleasing . , manners, feeling, and good sense. The mackarel fishery, at Brighton, has conclud ed, after a very successful season, which pro duced to that town a sum not less than 20,000/. A man was apprehended this morning, on a suspicion of forgery, whe belongs' to one of the 'Government offices; SPANISH PAPERB. CADIZ, JUNE 22.—We arc assured that &Mit, marched from Seville owthe 20th, with 7000 in fantry and 2000 horse, for the purpose of effect ing a junction with°. Drouet. It.is said that,the Sixth Army is in motion. They write from Tarifa, under date of the:lBth, of 'the active Means °adopted by General lizillas teros for the re-organisation- of his .divisions, which are always ready to act upon the offensive. From Estramadura we learn, that more than .600 Juramentados belonging to the-Bth regiment,. which were sent from Cadiz to Castile, have dis persed. In Ciudad Itodyigo.upwards of 100 have entered—in Alcantara, above 50:; the ramaintier have joined the different Guerilla parties.—We have accounts to the sth inst. from Corurnia ; they contain nothing of itnpnrtance. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JULY 7.--The arriialof-her Majesty the Empress and Queen is speedily expected at the Palace of St. Cloud. All 'the household of thii august Princess have received orders accordingly, and every preparation is made .for her reception. WISCDSKI, JUNE 24.—Letters which we have th'i's moment received - announce, 'that 'last night the grand army passed the 'Niemen by three bridges. These bridges were thrown 'over that river as it were by enchantment, in less than two hours, at a league above Kuno: The enemy, who had carefully fortified other points,: were quite unaware of the Emperor's projects on this, and had no idea of his attempting the passage: it is the characteristic of gcnius always to deceive by new combinations those who imagine they have discovered the - secret of its designs. The ad vanced posts are within six leagues of Wilnn. KOWNO, JUNE -26.—The French army, which is now actually, on the right bank of the Niemen, is formidable, and in. ,the best - Pro vided with every thing in abundance, it pants only for glory. fact, almost inconceivable, that the French army should havepassed the Niemen without encountering any obstacle on the part of the enemy ; who was coMpletely'deceived by the manceuvres- of the Emperor Napoleon. This .memorable passage conimenced at one in . the morning of the 24th. , The army immediately took an,excellent position. The POles, who per r ceive the interest which is taken in their affairs, emulate the French warriors in ardour. The French advanced posts - are at Troki, town of, Lithuania, situated on the rivulet Bresala; six short leagues from . Wdna, and thirty from Grodno,- His Majesty's head-quartets have been transferred here. , 'LEMBERG, JUNE 13. =The bead-cirters of tile Austrian army were yesterday moved hence,"J . iii order to proceed to Zolkiew. The two battalions of grenadiers of Brzeinski and Kirchenbetter have also marched thither. The Prince ..,of Schwartzenberg, Commander in' Chief, has like wise left this town for Zolkiew. The, Austrian. army in Galicia receives' daily reinforcemeuts.—, The Prince-of Hohenzollern, and Field Marshal Von Trethent, have just arrived to take the com mand of the corps allotted to them.' .. VIENNA, JUN E 22.—Our Court Gazette has published the Treaty of Alliance between Austria and France. This new proof of the good under standing which prevails between, the two Etit-pires has produced the most agreeable sensation. Colonial produce, which had before been at a lOw price, begins to rise ;..all speculators perceive that the present war will put an end to the: in troduction of that merchandize. The last Gazettes we have received from tersburgh leave no doubt as to the change of system in that Cabinet. They are edited com pletely under the influence of the friends OfEng land. . Attosntnton, JULY 3.—The last accounts from Vienna inform us, that Austria has formed three corps of observation, which are at present ac tually in her eastern provinces of. Gallicia, Tran sylvania, and the Bannat. The first is under the command of the Prince of Reuss, the second is commanded by General Stippsrhutz, and the third by General Giulay. These three corps are des tined to protect the three provinces from any hostile invasion. The army which was in the environs of Lem berg, and which is commanded by, Prince Charles of Schivartzenberg, is marching to occupy the .Southern parts of the Duchy of Warsaw. This army, conformably, to the treaty of the two Powers, is under the disposal of the Emperor of thes.l4'rench. It is 30,000 strong, and its supplies in provisions are drawn from Gallieia. There has been for some time a very active communication between Lemberg and Warsaw. There are a number of French and Westphalian Officers at Lemberg. Colonel }gallant, Aide-de-Camp of the Prince of Neufchatel, has passed some days with the Prince of Schwartzenberg, at his head quarters at Zolkiew. - latrpc, JUNE 29. 7 —The organization : or the National Gu4rds proceeds with activity through all the kingdom, and,principany in the towns. — To defray the expellees which this institution oc- casions, there has been establlshed •; , t Dresden a duty on the rents of house's, and it is probable that this measure will be adopted by the other owns. • 'Letters from Liebau of the 27th Ult. observe,, that the French might approach.. as soon as they pleased; for that every thing:that could: prove useful to them, or valuable. to..the owners, had been disposed of.
