We have made some extras from them. These papers are silent upon the two great points upon which our feelings are so deeply'interested— the War in - the Peninsula, and the State of the North. BUONAPARTE still remains at Paris, and some of the private accounts which have been re ceived state confidently, that the Emperor of Russia has been alarmed at the immense force which BUONAPARTE has colleted, and that he will concede every thing that is required, rather than run the risk of a combat. .The force assembled by BUONA. PARTE, in the North, is stated to amount to be tween five and 69/0,006 men. The exaggeration of this statement,' is too ridiculous to. deserve notice ; but, as we observed yesterday, the people of France and its vassal States have really no means of ascer taining the truth or fafsehood of any statement which the Government may choose to, make, and there fore - very little reliance indeed should be placed upon the authority of private letters from the Continent. -The disturbances in France, to which we alluded yesterday,, still continue:` a considerable body of troops have been marched to Rouen, to suppress an insurrection of the inhabitants, in consequence of • the high price of provisionS. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the QUEEN, Thin ceises ELIZABETH and MARY, attended by Lady ISABELLA THYNNE, arrived in a carri ge and four, escorted by a party of the I , 3th Regiment of Light Horse, at the Queen's Palace, from Windsor, where they were received by the Dukes of CUMBER LAND, SUSSEX, and CAMBRIDGE, and Miss GOLDS WORTHY. The QUERN and PRINCESSES dressed at the Palace. About two o'clock the PRINCE RE. GENT'S carriage, with the coachman and four foot men, in their state liveries, arrived at . the Palace, and conveyed the QUEEN and PRINCESSES to Carl ton House, where they were received by his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, attended by Cols. M‘MAtioN and BLOOMFIELD. The PRINCE con-' duEled . his Royal Mother and Sisters over his ele gant mansion. A few minutes after four o'clock the Royal Party sat down to a sun - onntic dinner, together with the Dukes of YORK, CUMBERLAND, and CAMBRIDGE, and the Princess CHARLOTTE Of WALES. The QUEEN was attended by the Mar chioness of BATH and the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES. At six o'clock, coffee was served up; and at half-past_s:x, the QUEEN and PRINCESSei left Carlton House, on their return to. Windsor. The PRINCE REGENT conduaed the QUEEN to her carriage, the Duke of YORK the Princess ELIZA BETH, the Duke of CUMBERLAND the Princess MAity, and the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE. The Princess CHAR LOTTE left Carlton House at the same time as the QUEEN. and returned to Warwick House. Earl WINCIIELSEA left Windsor on Monday. Yesterday morning ihe Archbishop of CANTER BURY left Windsor:- , r Kingston. . Lord JOCELYN left town, on Friday morning, for Ireland, in order to be returned again for Louth, having vacated his seat in Parliament, by accepting the place of Comptroller of the House hold. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street : it sat nearly two hours. Lord MeLviLt.c will bold his first Levee for Na val officers at the Admiralty, at 12 o'clock to-morrow. The debate of Thursday night, on the " Gold Coin Bill," has cv.napletely unmasked the real dispo sition of the Party towards Ireland, and demon strated what the people are to expea, should tkese Patriots force themselves into office. The Minister contended that Leland should be included in the measute, and part?cipate its benefi cial effeas, by the protection of the tenantry against the caprice at the violence of landlords. This pro position would place the two kingdoms on ground of perfect equality, and, as between landlord and tenant, would bc just and equitable, as well as highly advantageous to both patties. But what said the Opposition ? They insisted on the stria performance of COB tra6ts, by which, it seems, the peasantry, or a large portion of them, are bound to pay rent in gold coin or guineas; and in order to skew its practicability, the Leader• of the Party informed the House, that, to his own knowledge, guineas may be pureliase(l at a premium or from 53. 6d. to 6i. each, and that they were thus bought and sold as openly as broad cloth, or any other commodity THE ARTB.—Sir ROBERT KERR PORTER, whose extraordinary talents as an artist have been so justly adMired, intended to make a series of portraits of the Monarchs of this country, from the Norman conquest. They were to be small whole lengths, in water-colours. He had made several of these por traits before he quitted England on his matrimonial expedition, which has probably put an end to the design, a circumstance much to be regretted by the admirers of the Fine Arts, as what lie had done are exquisitely beautiful, and a►e enriched by some ap- - propriate allusion in the back-ground of each to events in the respeaive reigns, or to. the character sad conduct of the respective Sovereigns. NAVAL INIEWS; PLYNICAttIf, AfAtIC!I 30.—Arrived the brt Mal vina, belonging to Aberdeen, SIIITII, mistei, froth Villa Nova, and Gbialtar; *hit a cargo consisting of wine and cork for dunnage, bound to this port for orders, and is under quarantine; sailed from Villa Nova on the 21st February, diid frtim tar on the 3 t st.

HULL, MARCH 30.—Since the commencement of the Paschal moon, on the t 3111 instant, there have been such storms of snow, hail, and strong frosty . easterly winds, as have not been experienced since the spring of 1799. The snow is, at present, in many places, where the sun's heat does not reach, several feet thick, and the ice strong. In the night of the 20th instant, the long gale in creased to a hurricane on the East coast, ac companied with a high sea, and thick snow showers. We have heard .of the following ship wrecks on this coast, among' others not yet fully ascertained :—Lively, of North Shields, HAL- Low ELL, lost near Howick Boat-house; crew saved; except a boy ten years of age, sho perished with .cold and wet ; John and Mary, -of South Shields, GREwcocK, near Wark wort h ; ere w saved ; Themis, of Tynemouth, CUNNLNGHA3s, near Creswell; crew saved ; Cumberland, of North Shields, LA ING, at Newbiggin Point ; crew lost ; Margaret and Ann, of Blythe, near the' Sow and Pigs licks ; crew saved.

PARis, MARCH Spanish General Blajie; President of the Insurreetiolial Regency of Cadiz, had preserved his voluminous correspondence, which Contains some matters of impoitance. We shall, give a variety s of txtracis firm it. It will be seen from these documents, that the chiefs of the insurreCtion are convinced of the inu tility of -their struggle,-gi-hocv much they dread the French infantry and cat alry,—and to what a pinch their dissatisfaction and hat re..l of the at 1 . 1)N Is carried. [Then follow the clociimethi in i - pes!ion, winch are extternely voluminous, containing repurl6 troni every General of Division belonging to Blake's army, detailing their reiTe6live operations on the battle of the 25th of October. Then come the „Nlihntes of the deliberations of two councils of war, held on t ic subject of the defence of Valencia ; the result of which wAs, that the city was declared untenable. It appears that the troops had rations of bread for only nine or ten days.—The following is a statement of the 1054 which the Spanish army sustained On Ulu' 251 h of October k.lled , 247 ; wow - tried, 679-,.: prisoners, 3310 r dispersed 425.; total 401.—i:tie last paper given is tii:e dispatch of General Blake to th e Regency, which has already appeared in airs Spanish Wipers.] MAnRID, Maacur I.—The following is an inter cepted letter from H. O'Donnell, appointed Meru tj'.er of ihe New Regency at Cadiz, dated Alicant, and addressed to his brother Challes O'Donnell, _ who was made prisoner at Valencia with General Blake. Th's letter proves that the very chiefs of the insurgents haVe lost all cor.ficknce in their re- , sources,And have little hope of supporting the con test in which they are engagrAl:— • " My dear Charles, " constant anxiety could alone excuse rill lOng silence, which, however, you might attribure to another motive. I learn by the journals your fine aril celebrated retreat, in which I congratulate you; for if an operation of that sort may be. consi dered one of the most difficult in war, he who has executed it, in good oqler, with our troops, in the. face of Suchet, has only So much the more merit. " I wait with impatience the result of Blake's projeds. HoweVer. I promise myself nothing good iE the enemy receives reinforcements fr om Catalonia oi. Navarre. These succours would even enable him to leave beforeMurviedro, a corps superior to the garri son of that place, so as to confine it within its while they advanced under those of Valencia. It you give: battle, you ought. not to hope to gain it ; and it appears improbable that Bl2lce thinks of g i v i ng it. It it has not taken place, the army have only to -retire behind the Jucar, and abandon Valencia to its own strength. In that case a rigorous blockade will suffice (or its redution. If the. army occupies the lines of 'Valencia, it ought, in order to secure Ai subsistence, to extend itself to the sea; and such-a libe must be exposed to the same dangers as every other of that sort. I am quite. ignorant of Blake's plans, but I know Suchet 'sufficiently to be persuail ed -that no partial movement will induce him to re linquish his enterprize, should he receive reinforce ments. Ido not think that his designs are cot - rupee to the capture of Murviedro : on the contrary, I firmly believe, that it is his object to obtain posse S . of Valencia, in order to place himself in commu nication with Sot*, to besiege Carthagena or Ali earn', for the purpose of cutti4.3 4s °Nall coma - wok:A-. (ion with the sea, and force our two armies to -em bark, or, finally, to carry on the war in Navarro and Arragon, and from thence to advance upon " It is quite evident that it is the enemy's intety lion to make these provinces the theatre of actio warfare, because, knowing that,it is the intention of. the English not to move far beyond the frontiers ti Portugal, he will have only to fight akain,t7ui; and by obtaining possession of the was; from the Ebro to Aline' ia, he will be master of all ti,at part which borders' upon the Mediterranean ; de stroy the profitable commerce which the Ene;io carry on; and will, besivles, secure, by a•cliain of fortresses, his Communicinions tromnousilion to die kingdoin of Granada. " Our troops, few in number, and scattered cire.tr many provinces, can effect niAhlng ; and hen 41:0 _enemy shall be master of all thc@ii - -.sses of the - king dom, the armies having no longer any - point of sup port. will be forced to disperSe. Thus, while the Cortes are employed in-guing a constitution to the nation which exists no longer, and - the war is re duced to the robberies and plundering of the Gue rillas, we shall be a prey to all the bottors "of war, without the hpe of seeing its .termination. " My- health is better, and it is my intention to :repair to Cadiz on the fiist favouraide Opportunity : not to accept the common , ' which Jim. then offered me, hot, merely to re-es'nhlish my hth. " I have several times in:reale(' Ignacio to repair to Majorca ; which she has not agreed Co. I have r e s erv ed, and will al way s reserve for her, an I can, besides v4, , hat I keep for thyself : and, !ILA you may etveriam no doubt of this, it is proper you should know, that since the 30th of December last, she has receivtd trout me thirty thousand teals,- and from he treasury of Taringuna 22,500 tea4,'besides *hat she must have of her own. Adieu ! my dear- Glories, may God give you happiness, for your atiedionate brother Henry is s2.nsibly interested iu your prosperity." PARIS, MARCH 20.—A council of war was held on the 13th instant, on • Captain Saint Crab Lite Commander of the frigate Cioriade, composed- of the Adimarls Ganteaume, Missiessy, Ewe riau, &c. Orl charges : 1 st, for not -doing all in. his power in the as of May 20, 1811, in which the frigate Renommee was captured: 2dly, - for hav ing separated himself limn his Commander, al most at the instant of. the action, wlien' he should have kept very near, and have made no movement which, could have carried him to a distance : sdly, for not having, although the Clorinde was in a suf ficient condition, made any attack on the enemy, a little while after the separation from the Renommde, and almost at the moment when the enemy ceased his fire on that Ship; the result of which attack might haye been th e a b an d onment b y the enemy of. his pursuit of the Renommee, &c. The Council sat, by adjournment's, till the 18th inst. and examined a number of witnesses; one of whom, Gerot Fabritius, a native of Enkhuysen, Lieutenant in the Civrincle, not being familiar,witti
