Advices were received this day, stating, that on the nth instant a Squadron of His MA.' I !IMP'S Frigates, consisting of the h&j - Litigable, the Medusa, the Amphion, and the fell in with four Spanish Frigates, off St. Mary's, from Rio de la Plata, bound for Cadiz, and loaded with Treasure. As they resisted the orders which our Frigates were under for detaining all Spanish Ships of War till a satisfalory explanation . had been given in regard to the present Armaments in the Ports of Spain, an Engagement took place, in which, after a few broadsides, one of the Spa nish Frigates . blew up, another with a Rear. Ad. rniral's Flag struck. Irnmidiately after, the third also struck, and the fourth, in endeavouring to make her escape, was overtaken by the Lively, and, after a short attlion, struck to her. She proved to be the Fama, of 34 guns and 300 men, had 1 2 killed and so wounded. 'She was commanded by a Commodore. The Lively arrived yesterday evening at Ports. mouth. Capt. MOOR fi l of the ladefatiga4lr, was the Commanding Officer on this occasion. The whole of the Crew in, the Spanish Frigate that was blown up, amounting to about 300 men, we are sorry to say, perished. The affairs' of Spai n , with► regard to this Coup. try, must now take a decided turn. What the ex. asperated Emperor may now determine on is diffi. cult ,to say, but he has certainly experienced a woeful disappoiotmentill; losing the Treasure which he has so long been expecting, and after the receipt of which he would in all, probability have plunged the unfortunate Country into all the miseries of War. Notice of this important event was put up at Lloyd's. YESTERDAY afternoon we received Paris Papers to the Sib instant, and Dutch Journals to the rsth. The Corsican Emperor, according to some lac. Counts, goes by the way of Luxemburgh to Bou. logne ; but other statements announce that he will nytt return to the Coast until after his Coronation, the preparations fig which, it is now said, will not be finished so early as the 9th of November. It is also said, that the grand Imperial Parisian Puppet Sl , cw is lik , Ay to be deprived of one of its principal 4riars,.in consequence of the illness of the Pose, who is said to have become suddenly indis. p i ed, and to have postpoped his journey to the French Capita 4 There 'can be no doubt that his holiness is indisposed to go, but if his illness he only a' pretence, it can as little be doubted that tIONAPARTE will find the means of compelling him to make a tour to Pat is. If the Pops is really ill, we should not be surpriied if the Corsican were to send his Pkytician to Rome ; and then appoint ano. tier to fill the vacant Chair of St. Peter, and per form at Paris in the PantoNime of Ole : Cormaion., M. D'Ou nR t t., the Russian CiAgi di Afaires, has at length, it is stated, quitted the Tcrritorils of France, after several conferences with TALLEY tf AND. That the result of these conferences was. not so pleasing as some of the Paris Papers venture to assert, is evident from the departure of the Rus. sign Minister, nor does it appear that his stay at Mentz was caused by any other circumstance than the capricious suspicion of the Corsican, who would not suffer him to depart until intelligence had been received of the French Ll,7ation having quitted gussia. The latter event has now taken place. Letters' front St. Petershurgh give an account of i great Vittory obtained by the ttussians over the rersians. The KrNo of S%VI prtN was, it is saiti, to con tinue at Sitaistuid until the arrival of a Courier from }t LI Sh ia• An Eleaoral Association is talked of, for the pin. pose of preserving the Gettrmnic Constitution; but bow it is to be preserved, by a few weak States; (rum tbe fangs of the Corsican Tyrant, we arc not tit wed, be 126 v AL FAMILY, as we stated some time ago, are no lnn e ;er to bleep at Buckingham House, but ate to resiot alternately at Kew and Windsor chiefly at the former place, which has ern repred with great elegance in the Gothic style 1.4 their reccpti ,, n, in order that HIS M. 1.. t, Tv may more conveniently attend to public bu. constqueltie of the Itoyal intention to te Nitie in Windsor Castle, many removals, have been necessary ; but those liervins who have been de. raved co their apartments in that place, and to whom On , se apartments were convenient, are to be ded with others at Hampton Court, or else. where, NAVAL NEWS.

Extrad of a Letter from a Naval Officer on board the Fou. .dioyant, Rear-Admiral Sir Tnota As GK AY to a Naval Officer at Dundee, dated 7th September last " I have enclosed a list * of the Enemy's Meet in !lir Outer Road of Brest. They are extremely formidaiole, and the finest ships I ever saw.— They appear to me to be all ready for a start. I went in in the Sirius Frigate, with Sir TitostAs GRAVES, to reconnoitre, and the weather being fine, we had .t very good view indeed. We stood in so close, that we had the nleaSure of being sa. luted from both sides of the entrance with shot and shells, two of the latter nearly fell on board of the Ftigme. A few days ago, four French soldiers came °Win a boat ; they belonged' to the . 4.th g:de of Marine Artillery. One is a very Intel. ligent man indeed, and has been one of the Noblesse. He would not serve any longer under the tyranny of Bo NAPAXTE, 'who setmt to be deserted evert by the Army. The French soldiers have only 3tl. per dium, and a coarse suit of blue cloth once in t h ree years. Bread and wine ate very dear in France." • PLOTTE DL BRE3T.

ItvpiA.llousr.—Yesterday a Court of Direelors was held; when Capt. WI t. 1.1 AM STANLEY CLARKE was sworn into the command of this Ship Wexford, consigned to'Bombay and China.—The Court ad. journed at six o'clock till to-morrow, The Wexford was exttetnely leaky in her home. ward voyage from China, indeed so much so as to create serious alarm to the Commander. At length, after many ineffe4tual efForts_to discover the cause, tAlniallah Seyd, an Arab peatl.diver, a Lascar on board, undertook to examine her .bottom, fore and aft, while on her course, which having done, he found a small space under her bilge, abreast the fore. chains, where both copper and sheathing were of for a foot and a halt The plank he de3cribed as quite rotten, having run his knife completely into ir. He afterwards, assisted by Raw Sour, a,,ffiber Lascar, got a piece of deal hoard, with some !car. nought and tarred oakum on the inner side, which completely put Ali end to all further appie hensium. WEYMOUTH, OCT. 16. YESTERDAY the ItoYAL PARTY a most chinning aquatic excursion. The weather was re markably flue, and the Ships stood to the eastward. A very stroog breeke arose, which detained the Royal Yacht at sea several hours later than the time His MAJESTY was expetted ; and it was .0/ ith the greatest difficulty that Sir 1-lARRY Bur P.ARD NEALE could reach the shore of Weymooth. The wind was so strong that some of the Sips did not arrive tilt eleven o'clock: The rest were driven so far to sea that they did not return till between six and seven o'cock this morning. Last night the Comedy of Every One has his Fault, and the Barletta of Tom Thumb, were, by command of THEIR MAJESTIES, performed for the benefit of Mt. and Mrs. FARRIN. Some appre hensions were entertained fir the safety of lits MAJESTY, as he had not arrived on shore at the time expeeled. On the entrance of Hts MAJESTY into the Theatre the Audience were quite rejoiced to see him, and he was received with a burst of ap plause. Hts MAJESTY Was pleased this morning, with all the Staff Meets here, &c. to review Captain ME REDITIA's Brigade of British Horse Artillery, an Radipole Hill. The morning proved remark ably fine, and 'to those versed in military tactics this Review afforded the highest gratification ima. ginable. Nothing could exceed the celerity with which the Field-pieces were worked, and the dif ferent evolutions were performed with an equal pre. cision of Infantry. The KING highly compliment ed Capt. MEREDITH on the very great improved state of the British Artillery, comparing the dif. ference with the former plan. We do not recoiled ever to have been His MA JESTy appear so well pleased as on this occasion, making many inquiries and observations of and to Captain MEREDITH. This took place at seven o'clock in the morning. Soon after breakfast the Rolf AL FAMILY prepar. ed for sea, accompanied by Earl PAU L E TT, LordWA L s I NCH AM, Lord CHARLES STUART, Lord MUL, Gam/ E,Ladies G. BUCKLEY,E'RsKINE,E.THYNNE, W. PAUL Err, and Mr. PITT. This morning the Earl of UXBRIDGE went fur London. Mr. PITT is expeded to leave us to. morrow. Professor COLEMAN ' the Veterinary Surgeon General, had the honour to be introduced to fits MAJESTY, by General GARTIi, and was most gra. ciously received. The KING COntiillied in conver. satiun with the Professor wore than half an hour. I-I1 MAJESTY has fixed on the 29th of this month for his retutn from Weymouth. On Thursday Admiral Lord Viscount Durio.lx, and the Battle off Campe rtlown, were commemorated at Dundee. The Meeting was numerous and re. spettable. • Tit a' Tit EATRE.-7he Molotaineert w is repeated last night at Covent. Garden Thea.re with its usual success. KIMBLE'S Wiadvian was, as it generally is, a fine portrait of romantic ardour and tenderness, and it operated strongly on the feeling% of the audience.:--The part of Piroltt was perturmed YOUrt BRUNTON with unaffeded emotion.— I his interesting oi)era was followed by a Farce, written I,y Mrs. INCHBALU many years ago, ar.cl then called Appearances against Them, but now entitled rrporr Miitake. It has no great portion of dramatic merit ; hut it was rendered entertaining by the efforts of EMERY, MUWDEN, and Mrs. MAT. TUCKS. An the priv ite boxes of Covent. Garden Theatre, including even those of the Proprietors, are Jett for the present season. K Ett BLE retains his fur his own use, but pays for it, we understand, according to the rate fixed on for the rest of the Subscribers. There are to be no Comic Operas next season at the King's Theatre, as they have been upon the de cline for some years, and seem now to have wholly lost their influence upon the fashionable woilil.— MOR E " OCC/iiatiOteS gone," and he retires to Italy .—Thc Serious Operais to be brought forward upon a very grand scale, and will therefore probably be more attraCtive than ever. Sir JOHN STEV ENsoN, the Harmonic Commander in Chief of Dublin, is in town, beating up :or Mu. lien! Recruits. He is said to have tried his ing genius in vain upon BILLINOTON and Mts. DosseK, but is not without hope that little Tv V. R will join his Corps. The following is a specimen of Irish jsanevric. It 15 somewhat extraordinary that the wonders it records were never heard of in this. Country. " Madame Doss x it is celebrated at every Court in Europe. During her residence in Rome, so great was the united at. traction of her singing and beauty, that every other entertain ment in that gay city was deserted, although Madame MARA. BA NT I, and Sig. C RESCIIINII, even exerted all their well known powers in Concerts set up in opposition to her ; and on the last night of her appearance in that capital, as im. mense was the concourse of people who crowded to see and hear her tor the last timt, that upwards of forty persons were either sultbeated or tikmpled to death in the entrance of the Pantheon in which she sung." It is observed also, that this Performer '' has attained the utmost pinnacle of public favour !!!" The frail sisterhood of Lisle. street, in the man ner:Of City AuSions, are going by inch of Candle. But the only bidding is farewell. Some of theOppositiuri Writers seem to wonder at the 'dente of The Moniteur respeaing our late Experi.: ment upon the Boulogne ; but the Editor of The Moniteur probably thinks that all accounts from him have been rendered wholly unnecessary by the statements which have been made of that Expert. ment in the patriotic Journals of this Country.
