trent of this Country with an attempt to destroy the general anion, but be disclaimed po,iiively that Go vernment had entered into any such undertaking, or given the slightest encouragement to such apritici ple. Mr: Henry was dispatched as - an Agent by Sr James Craig, without any authority from, the Bri tish Government, and the first notification' they re ceived, was, that he, had been disp . itchet and re called again, on finding that the apprehension 'of war was at an end. The person alluded' to was sent to inform himself of the means of the country with a military view. Mr. WHITBREAD again quoted the letter of Sir J. Craig, of the 6th of February, 1810, alluding to the -supposed intentions of the FederalistS.—Ele wished. to know if that letter had been received by Got ernment, and what steps were taken on it Lord CASTLEREAGH said, his Majesty's Govern ment considered the transaction as terminated when the filst notification arrived, and understood the mission to be with a view to military security alone. The strongest proof of that was; that the person was withdrawn when the expectation of war was at an end. Mr. WHITBREAD wished to know of the'Noble Lo•d whether he had any objection to lay the pa pers on the table? Lord CASTLEREAGH conceived that , the proper mode to obtain them would be by giving a notice of . motion for their production. Mr. TIERNEY suggested, as many of the Dele gates were in town, it would be desirable that the House should go into a Committee to-morrow, and proc9ed with the examination of witnesses from day to . day. _ _ The motion was then put, and it was ordered that the House do to-morrow resolv,e itelf into a CoMmic tee. Mr. BROUGHAM then handed in a list of the names 0 witnesses to be summoned to give their attendance to-morrow; among them were Mr. Att wood, of Birmingham, Mr. Ward, of M,inchester, &c. &c.—Ordered. Mr. PONSONEY, referring to the correspondence just before alluded to, asked whether tire genuine copy of the letter dated the 26th of January, 1809, iu which there is this particular passage :—" At present it is only necessary for me to add, that the 'Governor` would furnish you with a cypher for car rying on your correspondence, and in case. the leading party in any of , the States wishes to open a communication with this Government, their views might br communicated to you." Lo' d CASTLEREAGH replied, that the only in forn,ation Government had was through the Newspapers, the same channel in which the Right Honourable Gentleman, obtained his knowledge .of the letter.' There was no official communication, for on locling over tile enclosures from Sir J. Craig, there was no such letter to be found. Mr. WHITBREAD then (as we understood) gave !twice of a motion for to-morrow, fbr the produc tmn of the Papers. The other orders of the dly were disposed of, and ai Eleven o'ilock the House adjourned.

Froni the circumstance of Colonel THANT having marched towards Almeida,we are the more strongly inclined to doubt the report of the capture of that place by the French. PORTO, APRIL s.—General TRANT, with his division of militia, marched on the '3lst ult. from Lamega to Almeida., Col. LEMESU.RIRR (late of the 14th Portu guese regiment) is Governor of Almeida, the garri son of which consist of three militia regiments.- - - MARMONT seems inclined .ro make an attempt on C udad Rodrigo, but he has not sufficient artillery. Tie Convoy from England came in yaverday ; s , the of the vessels put into Vigo, much damaged." We have received French Papers to the 25th.— The movements, of large bodies of French troops towards the Russian frontiers are pompously. an nounced, btit neither the Monitetir, nor the other French Papers, nave yet assumed a tone decidedly hostile toivards_Russia. These papers are perfeetly silent respecting the probability of BUONAPARTE'S quitting Paris. It is reported, on the authority of some Americans who have just arrived frOm France, that he set out for the North on the 20th ; but it appears that he field a Council on the 22d in Paris. The intelligence from Spain in these Papers is very scanty. An account is given of the en gagement between General BALLASTEIIOS and MA- ItANSIN, in which an attempt is made to skew that the French obtained the vielory. The result of the action was we know in favour of the Spaniards.; and indeed the French General bas not ventured to put his name to this report. A report was brought by the Maidstone frigate, which is just arrived Irom the Mediterranean, that the Toulon fleet had put to sea with troops. We shall rejoice most sincerely to bear a confirmation of this intelligence.

Our tearless Wilt see by out Parliamentary ReA ports, that qtieitions were yesterday proposed to Ministers respeeling the message, of Mr. MADDISON to Congress - and the documenti annexed' to it.— The answers which were giten completely excul pated the Government of this country from the charge thrown out by Mr. MADDISON, of wishing ro excite intestine divisions to the American States. The fact appears to have been simply this, that in • consequence of the repeated threats of the invasion -of Canada thrown out in the Congress, Sir JAMES CRAIG was naturally anxious- to obtain accu rate-information respecting the strength and dis position of the provinces adjoining to the Bri lls() 'possessions. The Morning chronicle of this day very fairly and very candidly states, that " the very pet of HENRY'S disclosure of a mission in which he had consented to engage hi's services, threw dis credit on the odious turn which he wished to give it ; and from the first, we conceived that be was only employed by Sir JAMES CRAIG, to procure in telligence, not to foment divisions, 2 thing which it would be disgraceful in any civilized Court to attempt." FRENCH PAPERS. DRESDEN, APRIL 1 4.—The Saxon corps d'arm6e has already passed the Oder. The confederation troops have finished defiling through this capital. At. present another army, composed of troops proceeding from Italy, are following the same route. The Regency of Breslaw has given notice that it Will accept the offers of those who wish to furnish bread, rye, and'forage for 18 small magazines, that are to be formed for the Prussian troops. CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 25.—Since the arrival of the Tartar, dispatched by the Turkish Plenipo tentiaries at Bucharest, and the extraordinary meet ings of the Divan, which in consequence took place, all hope of Peace- with Russia has entirely vanished, and warlike resolutions and military pre parations are alone thought of. Among the whole Divan there was not a single voice in favour of the Russian propositions; and the Multi openly de clared, in one of these meetings, that, in his quality of First Interpreter of the Law, it was impossible for him to give his legal consent to conditions of Peace rio inadmissible as those contained in the Rus sian ultimatum. In consequence of this resolution, all possible ac tivity is used in hastening the preparations for a new campaign against the Russians. BUCHAREST, MARCH 25.—We are still in the greatest inquietude respeCting our future fate. The arrival of the long expected courier from Constan tinople gave.rise to a conference between the Ple nipotentiaries, but was produCtive of no result.— By what has transpired, it would appear the Potte formally insists upon the stalu quo before the war. Another Courier has been ,dispatched to Peters burgh for new instructions ; his return is expected with the utmost impatience. Letters from the right bank of the Danube state, that BOSNAK AGA commands a strong garrison at Rudschuck, and that he not only is in a situation to . resist the attacks of the Russians, but to attack them.• The GRAND VIZIER'S army, in Sebumla, and its environs, becomes stronger every day, • ORDER OF THE DAY. SEVILLE, MARCH 17.—Genefal MARANIIN an• nourices to his Excellency the General in Chief, that on the 14th BALLASTEROS made an offensive moveur-nt upon Alhaurenz. Our rtrOps- of re serve immediately proceeded thither. Their arrival, and the attack of the brave 2d regiment of dra goons, was sufficient to rout .500 tirdlleurs, who oc cupied the principal streets of the place. During the night, the enemy concentrated their forces at Cain. General MARAssiN took a position at Car tuna with 300 men. On the 16th, at 6 in the morning, that detach. ment there repulsed st every point, BALLESTEROS, at 'the head of 4000 men. The cavalry made a superb attack, 'but the great superiority of number did not admit of our brave troops profiting by it.— General MARANSIN received a slight wound at the moment he was proceeding to attack the enemy's centre in order to take possession of their artillery. Not being able to execute this movement, he took a position at Fuente del Rei. The 'troops of General REI arrived in the even ing at Aiora. Had they during the night joined those of General MARANSIN, BALLESTEROS and his divi sion would have been destroyed. General BEI, at the time he made his-movement, heard a brisk firing from the side of CArtama ; hastened the march of his' infantry, but Could not arrive in time to take part in the attion. He made an excellent attack upon the rear of .the enemy, who began their retreat as soon as they observed the head of his column. The enemy lost, in this last attack, about thirty infantry, and from sixty to eighty horses; with an equal number of cavaliers who were made prisoners, the fugitives sought an asylum in the mountains, flying in every direaion. Among the ptisoners are fifty officers, one of whom Is a colonel, and private secretary to BALLESTEROS. We had only two dra goons wounded. BALLESTEROS lost many men in his reiterated attacks upon Cartama ; they are estimated at 600, of which 130 are prisoners, with 120 horse.. [Here folloWs the praise of the French officers and soldiers.] General BALLESTEROS, 'fearing to be surrounded, by other troops,did not hesitate precipitately return ing to St. Rabe, under the cannon of G►braltar.

CASE, and the Spanish ship Talavera, both frJrn Arnerica,with cargoes of timber, bound to this port, which vessels, together with a large sloop, were captured yester day morning, at s even o'clock, by a French row boat privateer of three guns, and forty Men; and re clptured on the same day by the Helicon brig of war, 'Capt.

The Talavera, a short time previous to her capture, was boarded by a Pilot boat, belonging to Cawsand, and a Pilot' (whose name, we understand, was Wtr.r.rkims), left on board to conduct her to this port, who, with her crew, were taken out by the privateer, The Plot boat, when at a distance, saw the Talavera taken possession of by the enemy's vessel, when she bore away for this port. Information w'as immediately given to Sir ROBERT CALDER, the Comrnancler in Chief at this port, who ordered the Foxhound Sloop , of war to proceed in quest of the enemy and her prizes, and, it is hoped, site will COITIC up with the sloop, if not the privateer,.

Governor of the Russia Company, information was given, that the Lords Commissioners of the Council of Trade, taking into con.idcration the present stare of the Baltic, and the difficulties to which the-trade may be exposed frctn a change in the political cir , cumstances, have come to the following determina. tion :--To grant licenses to any ships in the Russian pot ts, not being French, and above the burthen of too tons, and laden with hemp, flax, tallow, linseed or grain, to proceed either to Matwyck or Hano Bay. The name of the ship is to be indorsed on the li cense, with the proper de-cription before her clearance from the 'Russian port. At Matwyck or Hallo' Bay, the cargoes of the ships so licensed may be 'transhipped on briar(' British vessels, to proceed from thence to a Briti-h port. It is to be distioaly understood, that on no plea of there not being British vessels at Matwyck or Hmo Bay, will the foreign vessels so licensed . be sclfered to receive further licenses to proceed from these places on the voyage•to Great Britain. The first battalion of the Somerset 'Militia pas9ed through town this day, on their route to Not ticghatii. Finn.---We are sorry to learn; that Lord MoN TAGLIE'S house at •Datchet, was last night burnt to the ground, and that most of the property it contained,was destroyed.
