It was said to rest on a:telegraphic dis patch to the Admiralty, and we consequently thought it our duty to ascertain the fact before we contributed to the agitation of the public mind, by stopping the Press to insert the news . We found that there was no foundation for the report of such a 'telegraphic message having. reached the Adiniralty. That the event mentioned, however, is one of the utmost probability, the perusal of Soni.T's angry proclamation, and the knowledge of facts• officially tnnouncecl by Government, leaves us no. room to doubt. In "truth, we are entirely con vinced that. from Bourdeaux to the Pyrennees, the.. whole population of France is in a state of revolu tion against the Corsican Despot. There has been no' official intelligence promulgated to justify our going further than this., . A contemporary . publi 7 catiOn mentions that the rising of the people was to take place on the 21st—and that large orders for White Cloths, for BounnoN Uniforms, have been received in the City from Bourdeaux. We firmly anticipate that the next accounts will in form us of the rapid and glorious diffusion of the flame of this holy insurrection throughout all the Southern Departments and Western Coast of France. A vessel is advertized on 'Change,load ing for Bonrdeaux. A Letter from Liverpool., hi our Naval News, affords us reason to hope that the News originally communicated in this Paper relative to the de- structiOn of the American Flotilla on the Lakes, is on the eve of receiving confirmiition. Our further Extracts from French Pavers bring us acquainted with no facts possessed of any in terest in addition to those we stated yestetday.—, SOULT'S Proclamation is'ivery satisfactory ; and the strange story about petty assaults on Com peigne, while Soissonsis safe, and Rheims and Chalons taken, is utterly irreconcileable with any supposition, but that important information (un favourable to the Enemy) is withheld by the French Papers, or that their communications with their Master are intercepted. Dutch Papers to the 18th, assert that Monsieur remained at Vesoul up to the beginning of March. They also contain some interesting details respect ing the action at Court► ay. By Spanish Papers it wilt be seen that, to avoid the British, the arch Tyrant has sent Ferdinand thelth towards Spain by Perpignan, and Cata lonia. We trust all Lis arts gill be yain.- The following are extracts from our private letters by the last packet : A Correspondent says- 6 ' Bayonne ,continues to• resist; but it is generally supposed that for tress wilt soon be under the British or Bourbon standard." We have a letter from Vittoria, which says— " There arc very few British now remaining here-,-evcry body is ordered into the Army. A regiment of Spanish cavalry yesterday marched into this town. All the parties who went to pri son during the riot yet continue in confinement. " The heavy iiragoons who marched from this neighbourhood are gone forward to St. Jean de Lim, and the whole waggon train (left here since the battle upon this field) are ordered to the front. The first division marched this morning, 'With all the sick is these hospitals, for Pas sages. " We are hearing constantly of battles in the rant : nothing can . exceed the anxiety of the people for intelligence and information. At the house of his Excellency the British Ambassador, many earnest enquiries are made, and nothi❑ can express the querulous solicitude of this city, when the couriers arrive.--( Private letter from Madrid.) " LiClif.-,Colonel BURTON, of the Fusileers, is appointed Commandant of St. Jean de Laz.' The writer iti the Talerlts Chronicle, who, in the itteruess of his wrath, had registered an Oath Heaven that he would never, no never, honour !1E SuN again with notice or refutation, has at < . . _ 'lst, - after .a . long, and painful, and writhing si -fence,. broken his vow, and dislodged the muzzle ft:om his .mouth. We 'yesterday mentioned the toppage, at Dual, of Gu Y, fat! Nef,:senger, charged with Dispatches to _Lord Ct.SI7,FAIt . AGH, in ton .. • , . sequence of the intelligence from . Bonrdeaux, and intimated our hope, founded on this circumstance, that this great and import4nt event, officially coin municated to our Government; would produce, a corresponding, great and . important change in the nature of the instructions sent to our Plenipo tentiary. Upon the expreision of this apparently very natural and rational anti i cipation, the Talents' Organ says—: " Uwe were to believe the Treasury writers, every turn i n the wheel of fortune changes the deterMination of our Rulers on the subject of peace or war. According to this Ministerial writer, we are taught to believe that the news from Bour deaux made it necessary to alter the instructions sent to our Negociators at Citatillnn. We trust that this is the mere supposition of the miter, and that this vacilating conduct is not really imputable to Ministers. We hope that the system agreed on by the Allies, was so prudently digested as to an ticipate and prepare for every passible event; and we have reason to heliave tbfttthe Emperor of AUSTRIA, at least, is not likely to depart from the principle of the arrangement which was Made. What alteration can be thought of on ac count of the appearances at BOurdeaux we cannot conjecture, for the public have not been made sufficiently acquainted' with the facts upo:i tvhich an accurate' judgment Can be formed." Upon these pithy periods we take leave to ob. serve, that in our humble judgment every turn in the wheel of Fortune, provided it occasions a ra dical alteration in the State of Europe, ',ought to change the fletermination of our, Rulers. Men who do riot act upon preconceived opinions, but upon events and the nature of circumstances, must be influenced in their conduct by the occur rence of any great revolution in the existing rela- . tions of the world, and who will deny that this risingolmillions of the French people in favour ofthe - House of BOURBON is an event which must not only affect the policy of our Cabinet, btit of all the powers in Europe. Had Ministers allowed Guy to deparrwithout fresh instructions arising Ont'of Lord WELLI . NGTos's and Marshal BEREsFoRD's communications, they would no longer have me rited the confidence of their Prince and country : for it was exactly by pursuing such a eourse, and, never receding from a dogma or hypothesis they had once entertained (however the aspect of the . times might alter to render it wise and necessary), that their opponents of the Talents' party brought themselve s s into such , universal contempt and deri sion. This was their consistency--the reverse is not vacilation ; but common sense and wisdom. Nei ther 'do we claim for the Ministers, whose system we approve, that ominiscient quality pretended to by their rivals. Although it may lower them in: the comparison, we cannot, in conscience, assert that they are capable of foreseeing and providing for every possible contingency. 'We leave to the " prognosticating prophets" the merit. of being able "to anticipate and prepare for every passible event "—fur sending, for example, us they did, Lord MORPETTI to reside with the King of PRUsSIA during the war, and who, arrived after the battle. of Jena, by which the war was virtually finished ! To conclUde with this Gentleman, we will assure him, that there are more than " appearances ;,tt Bourdeaux," and in various parts of France, which will %veil warrant MinisterS in widely departing froin any course they were previously pursuing.

A letter was received in town yesterday morn ing, from Zierich Zee, dated the 12th instant, stating, that the Jason frigate was there waiting to bring the Duke of CLARENCE to England. The letter also states, that the Amphion:s boats were going to wake a second attempt to cut out the brigs under Fort Katz. The Master of the small French fishing vessel, sent into DoVer, states, that he was one-of twelve which were taken up or otherwise impressed into the service, for the purpose of conveying the ord nance stores from Boulogne to Havre de Grace. He states, that the utmost confusion prevails at the former place, the inhabitants packing up their valuables, &c. in daily expectation of .the arrival of the Cossacks.' It cannot at present be ascer tained what the iaject of the French GoVernment is, in thus removing the publi,c stores, unless they did not consider them as safe at Boulogne.— This boat wAs laden with cannon, ,shot, gre nades, &c.
