In a moral light,- however, 'the agreement to a suspension of hostilities must i tre ngthen the cause of the Tyrant, by prov- Zthat his strength had not . been so 11 4 0 1 reduced, and his condition rendered so °l ' e less as it appeared to be after the battle of L ei Psick.

From the Catalonian Gazettes, dated Ist Feb. we have inserted the threatening Address of Baron Mover to the people of Barcelona, and his Pro cliination, declaring that city to be in a state of siege.

Yesterday the following Bulletin was exhibited at St. James's Palace, to the inquirers, who were more numerous than they have been for some months past : Irindsor e Castle, March 5.

Advices and Papers from the East of Spain to -the ath ult. and from the neighbourhood of Bayonne to a much later date' through Paris, have been received. A letter from that city of the 28th February states, on the authority of coin= numications just obtained., that Lord WELLING TON, taking advantage of the reduction of SOULT'S army, had actually accomplished the pas sage of the Adour, and was rapidly advancing uport-Tholonse with 420,000 men. On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office. The PRINCE REGENT, the Duke of YORK, and a select party, dined with the Earl of UXBRIDGE on Friday. The Princess CHARLOTTE yesterday attended Divine service.at,the Chapel loyal, St. James's. Yesterday Divine Service was performed at Carlton House by the Rev. F. IV. BLOMBERG and the Rev. J. S.

About 1,500 Volunteers from the Militia, for various Regiments under the Marquess of kVET LINGTON, embarked lust week at Portsmouth, and sailed .for Plymouth. The Venus, Captain K. M'KENzia, has also proceeded to that port, to take money on board for the army, and then,pro ceed with the transports in charge for St. Jean de Luz, or 'Passages. The Proclamation purporting to have been a4l - to the French by the CROWN PRINCE, and dated from Hanover m the Gth tilt. has been pro nounced by the Swedish Minister at our Court to be a fabrication. Itis said that .the iVapoleons, with which the mysterious traveller, by the chaise and four from Deal, paid his expellees, were purchased from Mr. BIN s, by - a. draft' from Noble Lord.—(M .

ALARMING FEi;ER.---WR are sorry to hear that a dangerous fever is prevalent in Seven Dials and its vicinity. It was discovered early in the last week, and although every possible attention has been used to prevent its further extension, it bad become more alarming 'on Saturday. On Wed nesday a man and woman, who had resided in the same house, died after a short illness ; and, in the course of a few days, Mr. Charles, of Little St. Andrew=s-street, had five children, under eight years of age, all of whom fell victims to the dread ful contagion ; three of them were buried in one coffin on Saturday ; and we regret 'to state that the mother of these unfortunate infants is se rionslOndiposed, having within a f(ertnight been brought to bed of her sixth child, which, with the father and mother, are the only survivors-. We hope the necessary precautions will immediately be taken to guard against the further extension of this malady. NAVAL NtWB.

The Warspite is on a week's cruize: on her, return the Dublin and Eridanus mil go for a four months' cruize off the Western Islands; So that there will remain the Royal Oak, Cen taur, Egmont, and Zealous, -to watch the French squadron here, which consists of a three-decked ship, and four ships of 74 guns each. But from information received from the master of a ehasse maree, lately captured by the squadron, it ap pears that all the young men have been sent to the army, and that the. French strips are on the eve of going un the Charante. The following information was on Saturday received at Lloyd's : " On the 18th of January, at day-break, in lat. 24. 2. N. long. 53. 44. W. two enemy's frigates fell in with the ships hound to Bermuda, under convoy of his Majesty's ship Severn. Captain NOURSE immediately hauled out from the convoy, directing them to steer to the S. NV. and stood towards the enemy. At nine A. M. being nearly within gun-shot, they were clearly made. out to, be frigates of the largest force, having 14 guns on a side, on the main deck. The Severn then wore, and soon after commenced firing her stern chasers, steering N. E. Capt. NOURSE having the satisfaction of finding his object in standing‘with in gun-shut of them fully answered; their atten tionheings drawn from the convily, in expectation of immediately bringing;' iim to. action. About noon the convoy was out of sight. Capt. NottasE was still ignorant of what nation the enemy were, when .at four P. M. the head.nost ship coming up very close, commenced firing, and hoisted a broad pendant,..with 'French colours. They continued partially engaged the whole day, the French Commodore drawing up now and then v:ery - near, with the choice of bringing the Severn to close action, but as often dropping a-stern for his-se cond to close, The Chase,clitinued till, the fol lowing morning, the enemy's ship very little ont of gun-shot. at any one time,' the French Com modore haying evidently the superiority in sailing, when at nine A. M. they gave it up, after a ran of 60' miles. Captain NURSH followed them,. in . the hope of falling in with some British cillizer, until dark,, when having split his main - top-sails, the weather coining on thick, and being short of water, he gave ii the pursuit. On his arrival at Bermuda, he had the satisfaction of finding the whole ,of his convoy safe, by whom he was cheered. Captain NOURSE sailed from Bermuda oa the 4th ult. with the Surprize in company, in pursuit of the enemy.". We 'regret to hear that Captain PHILLIMORE'S wound is a very dangerous one—a grape-shot in the shoulder, from which it is apprehended he will lose his arm : the ball has not been extract ed. He a noble. example of heroism and fol.- titude ; although be was wounded early in .the action, he refused to quit the deck, or receive any, asS'stapce from gr. JONES, the Surgeon , -,-desiling him to attend to the wounded men. Three times before the action ceased, Captain PHILLIMORE fainted upon the deck, which he did not leave whilst a shot was fired : he landed on 'Thursday at Plymouth. The clorinde was returning to Brest from .a • four mouths' cruise, during which she captured the Townshend Da.cicet, from the Brazils, and 11 other prizes. The Townshend had 30,0001. on ,board, which; we undersland, sunk in her : she burnt all her prizes. The Sirius French frigate, which sailed flora Brest with her, is still cruising. On . Thursday morning -Lord KEITH sent his barge alongside the ..Burotas, when her gallant Captain, after requesting his crew not to cheei him, was lowered in his cot, and carefully removed to the Royal Hospital, accompanied by the most heartfelt wishes Gillis men and Officers. who saw him quit the ship, with,the, strongest grief. •The next fleet for China and the East Indies will be formed (if the Dorsetshire, Captain .Tog- NER j 'Curtis, Captain BOYCE ; Wesford, Captain BARNARD ; Thames, Captain RICHBs ; Henry Ad dington, Capt.
