A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning ; the, following is the only article of intelligence it brings : I{ELIGOLAIW, JULY 30.—The Britornart sloop of war, and Thresher gun-brtg, with t all the boats that could be spared from the squadron, have sailed for the Ems, with a view to attack a convoy of 20 vessels laden with naval stores, which are blockaded bi one of our gun-brigs in the river. Boston Papers to the 30th June have, reached town. They contain some very strong and spirit ed Resolutions, of the inhabitants of New York and Boston, against the war. Thep also,con tain a most eloquent ad4ress from Mr. RANDor,rin to his Constituents, in which he strongly insiun ates, that the war faction are under the immediate influence Of France, and - .declares, that he will not, during the continuance of the war, attend the Meetings of Congress. We this morning 'received the following letter from Liverpool : LIVERPOOL, itu0..3.--By the Alice, which ar rived here yesterday from'Quebec, which placeshe • left the sth July, we learn, that the Canadians were fully persuaded that war with America was ineVitable, and were taliing measures accordingly. No vessel was to leave Quebec, after the Alice, without convoy. ,No further intelligence has been received from :the Peninsula; consequently we are unable offi . cialiy to confirm the • statement which 'we yester day published from the Corunna Courier. There is - nothing-in the account its.elf which-is : calculated to, excite any doubt, except the circumstance of the battle being represented to have' been fought near Satinianca.- Lord IVELLINGTON; we know, was ,near sixty miles in advance of Salamanca, consequently - if. the battle was fought near that place, he must hav c preciously retreated. It was, we • know, the opinion of several Officers in Lord WEL- Litco-roN's Army, that MARMONT NVOIlld risque a • ' battle to save Valladolid, on account of the large magazines which it contained, and which he bad of the means of removing. But, if this account .be .true, Valladolid was not only not in - im mediate danger, but the Allied Army must have been'in , retreat. This circumstance may - excite a,slight doubt, but it by no means convinces us that the account in the Corunna Courier is not true. ,It is to be recollected, that the account in the Corunna Paper is not given in a light unauthentic manner; it is - glven with official authority, and therefore Ought not to ,be questioned but upon strong grounds. _The-dispatches from LordWv.r.moTorz - which appeared in the Gazette . , of. yesterday, state, that MARMONT had been joined by General BONN-AT,- in consequence Of. which MARMONT seems to .have abandoned his plan of retreat, andto have determined to advance, for he immediately began to repair the bridge over the Douro, which he had before broken down.— . This part of his Lordship's dispatches tends v . i' . ry strongly to remove any doubts' that might, exist about a battle being 'fought near Salamailea.---: ..MARmotcT, thus 'reinforced, may have adv.ainced, and I_,:(.lrd liriLLING:roN may have -retrevted until cf;nie'to 4 position_in wilic4, he knew , he could fi!-,ht to advantage. It is also •stated,. that Jo- S£l7l-1 BT:TONAPSItTE; „ - with Gencrals - Jouitn.A.N . and O . .FARREL, had left Madrid with ten thousand men, aid had . advanced •to Segovia - , so .ghat they were upon the right flank of the lied Army, and would ; if it had advanced, have , littn - in its rear. It is therefore highly pro bable that utider these circumstances Lori+ WEL L ,LINGTOINT may have judged it prudent to retreat, ancl that a battle may have been fought near to Salamanca. We have thought it right to state s' . wetiv the different observations that ocekir to' us respecting the probability • of . the news froto Corunna, and ive leave it to our readers to EU' rm their own conclusion. It' is stated, ' in our Portsmouth wetter, that an Officer bad arrived there with 'Dispatches • from Lord WEL LIt:GTON, c9ntaining an account of this vie _ tory. This we apprehend to be.a mistake. The Sr/bit has certainly arrived at Portsmouth from Fer rol with the news, bat she did bring any Dispatches - from Lord WELLINGTON ; the Captain indeed, - sates, that General CASTA:4O9 had received di4•-, pater:es tram. Lord IVELLlNGTox,.anncuric fig tin victory, A letter to that-effect from the (2,aptain was reeeiir'ed- at Lloyd's this morning, but of course he could only §peak from the report which be heard before'he sailed: A writer„in a Morning Paper Of this day, ad verting to Lords GREY and GRENVILLE, says, their " conscientious . obstinacy Would have left us with out/any-Ministers, had not others been found less scrupulous."' 'That the Noble Lords were obstinate can. admit of little doubt.: How' far their obstinacy was conscientious - is best known to themselves. But what was the motive of this " conseientions :obstinady?" Why, fippanntly an insatiable appe tite for power, that would : not leave to thePRINcE REdENT any of his friends in situations not of a political nature, and who therefore could not have interfered in 'the operations of government when in 'office, more than when out of office. Yet no thing would satisfy the Noble Lards but the whole of the frolisehtild, and therefore t%iir " conscien 'tious obstinacy" induced them- to lose the oppor tunity of promoting what they pronoupced vital interests of the Empire, becausq_they could not obtain that object. It has been_ the practice- ih the Morning 'Paper. alluded to, to style the present Ministers the,Household Ministers ; but surely the epithet is more characteristic ~of' those who gave up the opportunity of supporting'the national ho nonr and interest, and ,introdueing measures which they deem essential to, the tranquility of the State, 'merely because , they were denied the Household. .But the writer whose lucubrations tve have noticed, proceeds in a kind of bantering . vein to propose 'an Administration compounded of the most heterogeneous materials, and therefore it is possible that he was-merely ironical when he denominated the'' obstinacy" of Lords Git.RY and GRENVILLE " conscentiOus." This day the PRINCE REGENT will hold a PriAy Council, to receive the Recorder of London's Re port, &c. - A Cabinet Council was held yesterday, at the Secretary of State.'s Office, in Downing-street, which, sat nearly two hours. , Sir JOHN WARREN will h'ave town for Ports : - mouth in two or three days,'and proceed to assume the command on the'American coast. Sir JOHN BERESFORB, who Was. some time Commodore on the Halifax . station,- will accompany Sir JOHN' WARREN in the Poictiers, of 74 guns. • On Monday accounts were received of the loss of the Encounter gun-brig, in the Mediterranean, ;when in company with the Tuscan, in an attempt to cut out some ,enemy's craft ; she unfortunately grounded, and was obliged to be destroyed. One vessel was 'taken. Government, it is said, dispatched on Monday 10,000 stand of arms, with ammunition and flints, to Corunna, for the use of the Guerillas. Last week a detachment of Horse Artillery, .consisting of 300 men, and 200 ,horses, marched from Woolwich to Portsinouth, under the coin mand of -Lieutenant &Rum, where they were immediately embarked. for Spain, to join' the arMy under Lord WELLINoToisr. A detachment of 100 men, of the 87th Regi ment has embarked On board the Morley trans port, for the Isle .ofF6.nce ; and a detachment of the 22d Regiment are also tb embark on board her this day. PAVEMENT.—The 'condition 6f the metropolis, in almost all parts Of the town, was never so bad in this respect as it is at present ; independently. of the inconvenience Which attends the'operations of the Water-works' CoMpanies, there is hardly a street in which there ' are . not deep holes,, and other dangerous inequalities, whkh are:incrcasing everyday. •It is not . for want of complaint and remonstrances that the town remains in this de plorable state; fOr the public - prints. in „general 'have very laudably endeavoured to. : drav attention to so very ryprehensibie a neglect. : • - Mr. Ilerve„ thc benevolent Projectr.;r of a new Institution for the relief of diatress in the middle ranks ,of life, delivered a Leetnrc last Week in Pail Mall, when Mr. Christie liberally allZtted his room for. the purpose.

The LegiSlative Bodies , of France, who are mere passive instruments of the. Usurper, have been' whimsically. styled the repositories Of the deaf and dumb.

A small boat was picked up off Cherbourg; by our squadron on that station, contale'ling nine Spaniards and Portuguese, who had made their escape from Cherbourg. , They report that there are no:more than 500 Frenchmen in the Garri son, and about 3000 Spanish and Portugnese prisoners, who art?, constantly employed on the works ; for which they get one pound of coarse bread, IN a pound of beef, and three sous per day, which they expend in washing, and tobacco.

The Mi - ;n.teriegrins mast be upon their guard, and the Titi-ks begin, to tremble. for their territories. They have reason-to fear the French , for if they do not rouse themselves, and take aring,,thq will become their slaves. This Frent - . , h army will no doubt proceed in the following manner :—They will persuade the Tar" to join them against the Montenegrins, the na tural allies of Russia. This will. be their appal:egt pretext, but therreal motive will be to indu'T the Turks to neglect the defenc-: of Scutari and Al bania, while they, are .engaged. with the Monte negrins. the Fren , li will then possess theiv selves of Scutari and Albania, 'and' make :thew' Series - masters - of • Salonico, and at length of tilt whole Morea. Fora Jong time BUONAPARTE haS employed his agents in European Turkey, in pre paring and carrying into excc:ition thi3 sehelie; for lie pretends that the Narea is his of rights ; because it formerly belonged to the Venetia:l s, whose states he has usurped. For several years p as t a grea t num b er o f F ren ch' agents have passed from time to time into Bo:snia* Albania, and the Morea, where they have been preparing a general revolution. France has for some years past remitted considerable sums of, money to the Consuls in Bosnia, Albania, a nd t.',e Morea, and these Consuls and. their emissaries have promised employments, honours, and riches to the Greeks and Turks, to excite them againlst the Ottoman Porte. r p , l GIBRALTAR JULY 18.—B ALL ASTEIIOS elate' ""' Malaga op the 14th inst. the French garrls ( " 2 having pteviously wit drawn -to Gibralfaro, and spiked all the cannon out of 'its walls.
