A report has arrived trom Dover this morning, that Lisle had surrendered to the Arlies. This news has positively come from Calais, but we cannot, of course, touch for it any further than as a rumour current at that place. We have two days French Papers to the hth, but their contents are very unimportant. Having for longtime tried to persuade the people that there would be no war, those Journals are now employed in a delusion of another sorry—that of making them believe that BUONAPARTE is fully prepared for it, and able to beat all the world. funds continue to fall. One of the minor Journals insinuates, that the Usurper held a Council on Wednesday the 3d,, and consequently remained in Paris up to that date ; but the /lioniteur makes no mention of this fabulous presidency, and if it did, we should consider it only as one of these juggling tricks with which the junta of Conspirators endeavour to wrap themselves up in mystery.. There was, however, a rumour yesterday, that BUONA PARTE had actually returned to Paris, being recalled by a communication from his spies in that City, who announced that his back was no sooner turned than indications of anothe plot began to escape from FOUCHE, CARrOT, and the Jacobins. We know not whether this he be not true, but think it very probable : for though we have heard the cant expression of ho nour aniong thieres, we are inclined to believe that neither BIONAPARTE nor his associates think there is honour enough in each other to permit a fellow-villain to trust them out of sight. Captain PRESCOTT, of the Eridalits (the frigate which sent in severs French prizes to I'iyn►uuth), has been superseded, and the cominAnd given to Captain PATERsON. KING'S HEALTH e following Bulletin was sheen to the public yesterday at St. James's Pa 1-ace, at the same apartments as last month, the State Rooms being still occupied by the Military, where Lord SGINIEIWILLE and the lion. R. P. GEE viLLE attended as the King's Lord and Groom in Waiting, the Page in Waiting, and other atten dants. The inquirers were very numerous. It is as follows : WIKDSIIR CASTLE, MAY 6.—His Maj.sty's disorder cia tinnes unabated, but his Majesty is in good health, and in a cheerful and congettable state of spirits. (Signed as usual.) The Dnke of WELLINGToN set ofd• for the head quarters of Mar:Alai BLUCHER, at Liege, on Wed nesday. Yesterddy the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, arcompanied by her Ladies in Weitin,lr, attended Divine S+. rviceat the Ch wee Royal, James's. On her return to Carlton-House (ter Royal High ness received visits from the Dike of - Yoati, the Duchess D'ANGOULEMR, the Duchess of RUT- L'AgD, Yesterday being the Duchess of YORK'S Birih day, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells, &c. It will he celebrated this thy at Frogmore. _ This day the PRINCE RFoENT, and his Royal Highness the CoMMNNDER-IN-CHIEF, will leave town for Willdsor, in order to be present at the fete at Frogmore, %vide!' will be given by her MA JESTY, in honour of her Royal Highness the Dit *chess of YORK'S Birth-day. Every private and public letter from Flanders, as well as from other parts of the Continent, men tion the swarm of spies and suspicious characters daily apprehended in different parts, who are sus pected to be in the service of BUONAPARTE, but more particularly the letters from the former.— Now, honest JoHN BULL, with that love for li berty so inherent in his nature, and with that credulity for which he is so justly celebrated, can see all the swarms of foreign desperadoes crowd ing the streets of the Metropolis, and can quietly suffer himself to be jostled by them, without the least apprehension of danger. To be more serious, we think the Government ought to look to this immediately, since the persons apprehended in Flanders must have made their way thither through this country, particularly those who have arrived there recently, as they would not have been per mitted to pass directly from France into Flanders. We hope the Alien Act will preyent part of this mischief, as well as others, which we shall take an opportunity of mentioning at a future period. Three vessels arrived at Ports mouth on Friday afternoon front Bourdeaux, with French and Eng lish passengers. Up to the time of their sailing, the inhabitants of Bourdeaux had not been call ed upon in ,any way, to contribute'to the mili tary force, nor bad any money contributions been levied. Madrid Gazettes hare reached town to the 9th instant. They contain an agreement entered into between. FERDINAND VII. and his Father, CHARLES IV. by which the latter is to have a yearly allow ance of twelve millions of reals, and his Consort; in case of surviving him, a 'pension of eight millions. A further sum of six millions is to be paid to him within three years, to liquidate the debts which he has contracted. He is allowed to reside where he - pleases, with this exception, that his residence shall not be in any country where BU6NAPARTS or MURAT bear rule. A Royal Decree of the 24th of March, establishes a new order in Spain, by the name of the " Royal'American Order of ISA BELLA the Catholic," of which it describes at great length the insignia. The operations against St. Mary's were attend-. ed with greater success than has been represent, ed ; the quantity of merchandize that fell into the victots' hands was very considerable. The Coun tess of Harcourt. East Indianian was recaptured there ; afterwards lade❑ with the prize -goods, And . sent to Bermuda. It is stated that the house of RECAMIER, which stopped payment on the 29th of, April, re-as sumed it 00 the I st o f May, and that the momen tary embarrassment of the 29th tilt, was entirely owing to the complete interruption of all COIIIIIIII - tvith Spain and-Tortugal. SUN-OFFICE, T \ro O'CLOCK. 1 1 , - e stop the Press to say that BUONAPARTE cer tair►!y remained at Paris so late as "l'harday last. It seems difficult to account for his having marched out of the City on Tuesday after noon, with two thousand dragoons, apparently as an escort (which we repeat was the case), taking the road to the North on which, we know, relays of 60 horses had been ordered for him, and then returning soddenly back again. We arc disposed to agree most entirely with a high authority upon this point, that things were in so unsatisfactory a state at Paris, that on second thoughts his courage failed him, and. he dared not to leave it. Like, PRIOR'S hero, he traversed the cart, And often took leave, but was loth to depart! In corroboration of all the good tidings from France, we can assure our Readers that eight ()Ricers belonging to a French Regiment arrived at Dover yesterday, and state that the situation of affaiis in France is very favourable to the hopes of the Allied Armies. THE ARMY. We are happy to announce the following im portant intelligence : Fleet from America.—On Sunday morning 4fl sail of transports, with the British Army from America, were telegraphed off Cape Clear. From the state of the wind, it was not expected they would reach Cork Harbour On Monday, and they are nOw probably in one of the Western Harbours. (Dublin Correspondent, illO9 4.) The Hon. Colonels tlc - rol and JENKINsoN are proceeding' to the Netherlands upon, we tinder stand, rather a aliplorn ,tic than a military mission. The British regiments in the Mediterranean are to be immediately completed by detachments from Enzland. The 27th regiment, which sailed on the Bth ult, in tour transpor t s front Betmuda for Ports mom'', is expected daily. Orders have arrived at Plymonth to send off all the artillery hor s es and drivers that can he spared, and to purchase horses, and enlist drivers, with all speed. Eighty horses and drivers went off on Wednesday last on their route to Deal. Six mil lions of ball cartridges have also been sent off front Dock in the course of the last week ; and 240 men and boys have been entered at the Laboratory at Mount Wise. to fill ball e;irtridge,,, a grtat many millions more being ordered. Saturday mornin L f the Brazen, Captain JAMES STIRLING, arrived at Port s:/mtith front Louisiana and Haraunah, in-in. , ;ing General Sir Jotth LAM BERT and suite; why► having made all the neces sary arr►+ngctnents for the troop under his ewn - 'nand to return home, under Generals Sir R. KEAN and Powers, preceded them in the Brazen. The Braze n left Mobillc on the 25th of . March, and Ilavannah on the 4th ult. The Hydra, Thames, Belle Pottle, and Alceste, with the first division of the army on hoard, were lying at Havanmah, nearly ready to sail for Bermuda and England. Admiral MALcoLm, with the Temainder, was to leave \lobille about the I st- ult. Their arrival, thetetore, tnay he expected in the course of the present month. A party of the 95th regiment came home in the Brazen ; they landed on Satur day.afternoon. The Brazen took out the intelli gence o f Peace with America, to all our forces in the west Indies. The terms of the CILINCRLLOR of the EXCITE auEtes proposals for funding the sum of 7,687,000/. (the remaining part of the 18 million of Exche quer Bills), are the same as before, giving the pre. ference to those who had already funded, leave to subscribe at the rate of 80 per cent, on the sum they had already funded, and to allow to imorrow• and Wedneaday next for them to subscribe ; but should the whole sum of 7,687,0001. not be filled by the former subsetibers, then the remaining sum to be opened to the; pubdc on the same terms, and they to subscribe_ on Thursday. All Bills from March 1, 1814, to May 8, inclu . sive, will be taken, and the interest on , the Exchequer Bills allowed-to the 10th of June, 18.15. DURLLING.—Ou Saturday, Captain JoHN YOUNOWAS brought before Mr. Btßxis, at Bow street, and charged by Captain CAREY, who al leged th a t be was in danger of his life from the violent threats of the other. whe l e t r appeared that th e pa r ti es h a d l a t e l y b een at B r i g h ton, a dispute arose respecting a female; a challenge was the consequence, hut no fighting took place. The threat of h o rsewhipping and posting names ensued, for not fighting.— Since Until- arrival in London, Captain Young renewed violent threat s in the county of Middlesex - towards Capt. Carey, who swore he went in danger of his life, and that he felt himself bound by his duty tazake cognizance of it,, and hold Captain Young to bail to keep the peace.—Captain Young said, in reply, that he was surprised at the charge made against hint by Captain Carey, as he considered himself injured, and ought to have made a charge against Capt. Carey.—The Magistrate said he could not then enter into a charge of recrimination of Captain Young against Captain Carey, as Captain Carey's charge against Captain Young was made by'regular informa tion upon oath.—Captain Young said he certainly should prefer a charge against Captain Carey in a regular way.— Captain Young not being provided with two housekeepers to bail him, as is customary upon these occasions, Capt. Carey's Solicitor agreed to b e content w i th one, viz. Mr. Long, who keeps the Hotel in Bond-street, where he is lodging. Mr. NV5'l. TODD, Printer of the Sheffield Mer cury, has been appointed Postmaster of Sheffield,. in the room of RICHARDi GRikrITHS, .Esq. who is nominated Agent for his Majesty's packets at Holyhead.
