' " Since writing tlic enclOSed, our gallant little army has done its duty to the King and Country. The flag that has fOi so many yeari waved in per fect confidence on the stone tower.of For; Niagara, is flow, thank Gori; on its way to 'Si. Co lonel MuanAv's decision, judgment, and try, were never exceeded, and success of the most coMplete kind has been the consequence. Of nearly 400 regularS 'Who composed the garrison of Fort Niagara, 65 Were killed, and 15 wounded. Not a shOt was fired on our part ; the bayonet effected every thing ; it was; literally speaking, a night of darkness and death. The quantitieS of stores of all kinds found in the Fort is past -all belief; there were in it 27 pieces of ordnance, and plenty of ammunition. Your painting of it now, I hopc, will become doubly interesting, and I trust you will publish it. ; hut re7ollect, let the British Sag appear on its towers. The recent enterprize was principally planned by General VINCENT and Colonel Moan fiY, and was bn the eve of being car- vied into execution - , when the two other Generals, DRUMMOND and 'MALL, arrived. I beg you trill always keep this fact in mind : some little pause has occurred in the it'nended operations of our army on the American frontier—the fact is, the dreadful conduct of our Allies, the Indians, makes human nature shudder, and we forbear to afford them a pretext to indulge their horrid propensi ties. The burning embers of poor Niagara loudly call for retributive justice, and I sincerely hope that a hicfrit will be the record of that sink of iniquity—Buffalo." Parliament will certainly proceed to business on their re-assembling, on Tuesday next. Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, the, Earl of LIVERPOOL, accompanied by Mr. ROBINSON, went to Carlton-house, where they bad an audience of the'PRINCE REGENT, till near three o'clock, when his Lordship went to the Foreign Office, to attend a meeting of the Cabinet, whose deliberations 'continued till past five o'clock. Yesterday die Duke of Yoiu visited the PRINCIt REGENT at - Carlton-house. Baron DORENI;WRGH; the new hessian Mini ster, was yesterday introduced to the Mike of Yoax, as Corumander-in-Cnicf, at 'his Office in the Horse Gu ds. Yesterday Colonel TORRENS, as Secretary to the CoMmander-in-Chief, held a Military Levee. Mr. MoBANnA, the Messenger, who came from the Duke of CUMBERLAND, with the account of the death of the Duke of MECKLENBURGII STRE LITZ, is - about to return to his Royal Highness, with the different articles which he ordered, and some attendants of his Royal Highness. Letters were yesterday received from Trieste, of the date of the 224 ult. which give reason to suppose that Ancona has devolved into the pos.-. session of the Allies, several vessels having arriv ed from that port. at Trieste, Letters fronl Holland state, that BEAUHARNOIS had determined to join MURAT, and abandon IIuoNArAuTE, if the Allies agree to his terms. — It is said, that lie proposes to have Lombardy created into an independent government, at. the head of Which lie shall be placed. The same let- ters mention the commencement of hostilities be tween the French and Neapolitan troops ; the latter having attacked and, taken the citadel of Acona. EXtract of a letter from Sir R. Hat's division, dated ITstaritz, Nth February, 1814 : " Yon may expect to hear news soon from us. Our division, with Sir THOMAS PIZTON'S are to assemble in the c-itirse of to-morrow and the next day at Esperne, in order to proceed to St. - Palals (on the Bidouse) and I'au (on the Grave de Pau) - , where the enemy are understood to be in.force.— Of our ulterior movements we know nothing.- , -- The main part of the Allied army will continue for the present on this side the Adour." We understand, by the most recent accounts from Madrid, that - the public mind was consider ably agitated in that capital. The following let ter, which appeared in the Redactor General of the Bth instant, communicates some information on the subject :—" - As soon as the public Session of this day, the Sth, was over, the Cortes remain ed sitting with closed doors, and a report was. spread pion: , the inhabitants, that some Deputy meant to male in that sitting, a motion for. dis solving the present Regency, whom the General and Extraordinary Cortes appointed in Cadiz with, the general applause of the nation. No sooner was this rumour disseminated in Madrid, than an immense concourse of pet'sons of all classes assembled in the square del Pero.), at tracted by their attachment to the' Regency.— The President of the Cortes learning. that the people were thus collected in the street, - to know the fate of, the - Regency of the King dom, gave orders, it is said, to the Comman dant of ;the Guards to disperse them; but that officer, convinced of the firm determination of the people, did not think proper to execute the or ders. The people broke forth into enthusiastic shouts' of " Long live the Regents, the defenders of the Constitution !" which were repeated with still greater . ardour when the secret sitting of the Cortes broke up, and the members were senarat ing, together with , ' exclamations of " Long live the Deputies who defend that sacred code.!"— After this, the people repaired to the Command apr of the Spanish Guards, whom they thanked for his conduct ; and then to the Palace of the Regency, where they renewed their acclamatious."

THE FRENCH FRIGATES. The Venerable is speedily -expected with the Alcmene and Iphigebie French frigates, her prizes.. The•follOwing additional particulars have been communicated with regard to their capture ". On the 13th of January the Cyane fell in, oil' Madeira, :with the Venerable, 74, Admiral Du aft AN.f... on his pas?age to Barbadoes. Having p ar t e d c o r n . parry, and being about 9 Miles distant, the Cyane made signal of two enemy's frigates in sight, which being observed by the Venerable, she crowded in chase, and was gaining f:.tt the nearest ship, which run across the Vene-. table's bows, no doubt with. a hope of escaping, by .carrying away the former's bowsprit. The mo►nent she passed, a party of men from the Ve nerable boarded her, and carried her after an ob stinate resistance, in which above forty of the enemy were thrown overboard. The other• fri-. gate having made off under a , press of sail, was chased. by the Cyane for two days, who:. then lost sight of her; but a short time after, the „Venerable fortunately again fell, with, and, finally captured her. They are said to be ralu, able prizes, having large cargoes on board.— The Venerable had previously captured a French brig." . Another account at is, that the Commodore, Captain VIt,LEN EUvE, nephew of the late Admirat of that name, was mad, era agh to run alonpitis the.Venvrable, in the hope of carrying - her by boarding, and fi n di ng hi s own s ni p boarded and carried in.consequence, he would not allow the colours to be struck, till they were hauled down by the British boarders. All the treasure takell out of the Spanish prize has hen retaken in the frigates. L' Alcmene carries 4-i guns, 319 men, and L'lphigenie,, 44 guns, and 324 men." An embargo has been stated to be iaiposed on all Norwegian vessels in the river, in consequence of the late proceedings in that country. We sus pect there must be some error in this statement. The vessels in question can. only have come to iEngland under licenses permitting their return ; and we are not aware upon what ground their country's hav►ng - declared itself independent, can be considered to vitiate the effect of such licenses, or indeed can justify our Government in any in terference \vial them whatever•. The Captain of a merchantman recently arrived at Bristol, states, that on hiS passage from Lis. bon to that Tort, he saw a French frigate, with a British vessel, her prize, in company. A British cruizer was also in sight, and had been dogging the Frenchman for a length of time.
