It has.‘been confidently said, that the Allies have freely expressed their determination - to make no peace with the French while BUONA,PARTE is on the ,throne. This we state as the report of the day. The Duke of SAN CATIL4, the bearer of FER DINAND the Seventh's Treaty with NAPOLEON, came thrott4h Catalonia to Madrid. He brought alio a k.tter front the captive King to the tem porary Government of Spain, The contents of the letter are as strange as the articles of the I..r . caty, F E R D IKAND extols and thanks his peo, pie for their , defence of his rights, Compliments the -English and Lord WELLINGTON OW their successful co-ciperatiorl, and dwells with grati tude 011'N4o/eon's kindness to hits d ur i ng his resi dence in France. We learn by letters from America, that the ne phew of General MOREAU, adopted by him as his son, and placed by hilly in a College at Baltimore, kept by Frenchmen, was inhumanly expelled from College by a M.

Lieutenant DALYELL, IL N. arrived in LondOn on Thursday evening, being releasetZ withoutex chan,;e, by the express' order of BUONAPARTE,. nine ,years confinement, in consequence of his numerous wounds. 'fins is tire same officer who was taken prisoner in Nov. 1803, when be longing to the Experiment shop, fitted out by Sir SIDNr.Y SMITH, and commanded by'Captaiu, then Lieutenant iIarrCHET, and which defended herself for three days and nights • against the' enemy's troops, although aground nearly a mile from the beach', in Holland, and only manned with eleven men. und the above two Officers, both of whom, after being- prisoners 17 days, matte their escape. Lieut. DALYELL was afterwards Lieutenant of the Tattler sloop ; when attacking anti boarding a French lugger off St. Vaiery, he 'received thir teen, wounds in ; the head and back, and was left for dead •n' her decks : he has since been a pri soner at Verdun. We sincerely hope the patron-. age of t.he_Achniralty will be extended to this brave but unfortunate young man. By the .same car tel which brought him over we have received let ters from an intelligent Correspondent in France; and we hare no doubt but ere this the Allies are in possession of Lyons. Our Correspondent tie., scribes the people -of France as most anxious for a general peace, hut thinks the proclamations of the Allies couched in such doubtful terms, that the population is likely to rise en masse. 13UO;s1A— PARTE is collecting an immense'army at -, 40 leagues from Paris, whe=re it is simpposed he ‘sill make a desperate stand. Provisions were rising rapidly in price,, and our prisoners at Verdun were about to be removed, in consequence of' time ad vanCe of time Allies. The mortality in the French army is described as excessive during the last campaign 'in' Germany ; and it is even thought that the loss by the sword and by sickness exceeded that at MoscoW by the frost. There were tem porary hospitals erected at Verdun, and 50 or 60 of the:French died daily in them. Orders hair.been sent to burn the fleet at Antwerp rather than let it fall into the hands .of the Dutch or English. •' The galiant Cvptain' PROVO WALLIS, who reap ed Fitch dihtinguished laurel?, in. the Shannon„ is appointed to the command , of his Alajesty's sloop the Snipe. iNDiA iNTELLIG-ENCR.
