Intelligence was this morning received at tie Ad thiralty, that the Tremendous and Poic'liers had re turned to their station, off Blest, after an unsuccess ful Chace of the French Squadron. His Majesiy's ships lost sight of the L'Orient squadron in the se cond day of the chase, in thick weather. The enemy was last seen in lat. 49. 30. N. long. g. 30. W. steering N.W. Sir R. KING has six sail of the line with him in the Bay, on the look out for the enemy. This morning a Heligoland Mail arrived; it brings no news of importance, except the confirmation of the commencement of hos►ilities bet \yeen the Rus • giant) and the Turks. Paris Papers to the 18th instant have been re eeived, from which we have made some important extrads. We have frequently had occasion to re -mark, that BUONAPARTE rarely ever misses an Op portunity of insulting those whom he has injured, but in the documents which we have this day ex tratSled from the French Papers, he has ex ceeded himself : he seems now deterrnined bold ly to set mankind at defiance, and to derlare, that there shall be no public law on the Con tinent but his wills • and that his convenience is the only tenure by which Sovereigns are to continue to hold their dominions. We are aware that he has long ailed upon this principle ; but we really did not think that he would have the hardihood boldly to acknowledge it. The Docu menls to which we allude are, the Reports of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of War, and the Itcport of the Senate upon the Senalus Con suiturn of the loth. In the last mentidned Report, BUONAPARTE lays down what he is pleased at pre sent to denominate the Law of Nations,with regard to Neutrals, and proceeds as usual to declai'n against Great Britain for violating this law of his own inn nufadure. Bi 3 what will scarcely obtain credit is, that he boldly declares to the world that the Berlin and Milan Decrees were made after our Orders in Council, and to counteract their effect. We are clot surprised when BUONAPARTE gives false accounts of the events in the Peninsula, because his slaves have no means of detesting b:s falsehood; hut to assert that as a fad, which et ery man in Fiance knows to be untrue, shews a contempt for public opinion, which we have not observed before, even in him. We shall be glad to bear what the Ame ricans will say to his declaration that the Berlin and Milan Decreesare in full force. Here, indeed,Buotra.- PARTE condescends to speak the truth, because it is no longer of any use to h m to conceal it ; but he cer tainly has placed the American Government, and those persons in this country who espouse their cause, in a most embarrassing situation, Our Readers will see, from the other reports, that Buo- NAPARTIL evidently considers himself on the brink of a new war, and that he is adopting every means • in his power to repair the dreadful losses which his armies have sustained in Spain. Major OTT° FOAELLIS has arrived in town from Sweden, with dispatches for the British Government. There is no doubt ti4at they are generally of an mi.; cable nature, but no particulars have transpired. The report, therefore, that the Swedish Govern ment has demanded a subsidy, has no other founda tion btu the speculation of those by whom it was circulated. The Swedish Government seems at present disposed to co-operate against the French ; we shall be glad to see that disposition aEled upon. His Majesty's ship Hotspftr arrived at Portsmouth yesterday : on Saturday she fell in with the Medi terranean convoy, under his Majesty's ships Pelorus, Iphigenia, and SelaPiS, much dispersed; it was then blowing a gale of wind ; the men of war had not a sail set, and their cf:nvoy were labouring very hard off the Isle of Biss. Parc of the fleet put into Plymouth on Saturday, and it is supposed that the remainder wwnt fur TorlD:sy. The new Boat of Admiralty will be immediate ly formed, when Lord MELVILLE will enter upon the duties of First Lard of the Adtnirdlty on Wed nesday next. Mr. HAY is to be his private Secre tary. It is now said, that only Sir RICHARD BICKER TON and Mr. BULLER retire from the Board. Ad miral HOPE and Mr. W. Durum are mentioned as tLe new Members. Yesterday the CHANCPLLOR of the ExcnrQUER gave a grand dinner to a large party, at his liouv in Downing street. NAVAL NEWS. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 10.—Arrived the Aid natal traniport, Capt.

We have received the, important and authentic news of the renewal of hostilities between Russia and the Porte. The following is the information which we have received relative to this important event : According to the tenor of the armistice, hosti lities arc not to recommence between the Armies of the two Biligerent Powers, till after a previous denunciation of 20 days. The denunciation having taken place on the igth of January, the toth Fe bruary was consequently the day fixed for the re sumption of arms. From the commencement of this month, the Russian army put itself in motion on different points to approach the Danube, which marches were sup posed to be made with a view to defend the Danube, if the Turks should attempt to pass it. On the ith and 12th of February there was some cannon ading along the Danube, the right bank of which the Turks bad again occupied, though feebly, since their army of reserve assembled at Sebumla had not yet began ins march for Rudschuck. The Russian head-quarters have been again trans ferred to Giorgewo, to which place the General in Chief, LANor,Rott, repaired on the eve rat the re newal of hostilities, with several other Generals, and a numerous Staff. The Russian advanced guard passed the D3nube on the 13th of February, without expes'icticing much difficulty. The Turkish posts, not being nu- Merous enough to make resi,tance, fell back to wards Rudschuck, where the Grand Vizier is with a force of from vo to 25,000 men, which is, as it were, the kernel of the grand army ; he pur poses to assemble on the Banks of the Danube. Detachments are on their march Irons all parts of the Ottoman Empire, and it is hoped that they will be able to arrive before the Rusians can attempt any important enterprise. The Turks .occupy strong positions, in I,,,hich the y have already been able to maintain themselses with advntage. Besides, it does not appear that the Russians hare any pre ponderating force, and it remains to be seen whe ther they will be able to maintain themselves on the right of the Danube. The Russian General had given orders to all the corps of his army camoned during the winter in Mol davia, and on the banks of the Dnieper, to set out immediately, and proceed in various diredions to wards the Danube. We learn that a somewhat numerous corps is proceeding towards the Lower Danube, on the side of Silistria; it is probable that the Russians will attempt a passage of the river at that point. The Turks have still a garrison at that place. Our Journals already furnishes citcqmstantial details of the operations of the advanced guard, under the command of General PULLATOW. A private I , qter from the French colst has the following passage respeding General BLAKE " The Spanish Commander BLAKE, arrived at Pali.; on the 9th of last month, under a military escort ; he has had several interviews with TALLY RAND and the Minister at - War, which lasted se veral hours each time. The objet;} of the latter was to ascertain the strength and resources of the Spanish insurgents, of which General BLAKE, from the command he so long held, must tw well ac quainted." A newly- built Danish frigate, of 32 guns, lately made her esc3pe in the night from Copenhagen ; and eluding the vigilance of two B r iti s h f r i gates , ar rivrd Norway, with 10,000 stand of arms. Twenty thousond muskets have been shipped within the last few days from the Tower for Pot tu2al. Government have determined on regulations for the er,courageinent of Naval Chaplains. They are to have fixed sals.ies; and atter certain periods of service, will receive liAf-pay.
