There are several whir Matters, which very ford _ bly strike a stranger in travelling through all this part of France, from Calais to Paris.- .Among others, it is not one of the least remark; "le, th a t . , except the villages and towns men ioned in the " Route," there is scarcely a house to be seen on the whole war—not a single hut 9 . 1 3 a0 . the roar(-side; and, even . when the view e xtends over many miles_ of country, there is not sign of population visible.

A Mail from St: Sebastian arrived this morning, which brings the following intelligence " MADRID, APRIL B.—On the sth, Gen. PALA FOX left Saragossa, at the head of a. Deputation, to receive his -Majestyl, who was to arrive on the 6th. Sixty Aragonese- Ladies, dressed in white and crowned with laurels, were to go to meet his Majesty, and draw his coach to the entrance of . the city. Great preparations were making for Saturday and Easter Sunday, his Majesty being to depart on Monday, in company .with the Infant. Dciu CAtmos, for Valencia; the Infant DOn ANToNio going: directly from. Catalonia to Va lencia. " An Express has just brought the news of the entrance of his Majesty in Saragossa. " The transports of the inhabitants, and the effusions of love and gratitude coming from; his Majesty, are not to be described. •" MADRID, APRIL 10.--We are very eager fur news from the LORD, expecting to hear of a new defeat of SOULT. Don ANTONIO entered Valencia in the coach of the President of the Regency. His MAJESTY would not allow the Arragonese Lak;:es to draw his coach. " The King is to enter Valencia on the lith. "MADRID, Aim 12.—There aft 110 words in our language to describe the transports of the people of Saragossa at the sight of their beloved FERDINAND, Who on his part 'could not refrain from shedding tears of joy. " MADRID, APRIL. 13.—The King left Sara gossa on the 11th. C'ORTES. " APRIL 15.—The Secretary of War received a dispatch from .the. Duke ot CIUDAD RCFDRIGO:, stating the entrance ot the -Allies into Paris ; on the 31st of March, as it was announced in a notice published by the Prefect. at Toulouse.—(Lord, WELLINGTON'S letter is' not dated in tt, is Paper).— It was resolved that a Te Derma should be cele brated for the successes of th e Alli e d arms. -" MADRID, APRIL 16.--We learn, with the greatest satisfaction, that the Government has re solved to send 4000 chosen troops, under General LACY, to the aid of the distressed inhabitants of Montevideo ; and will use all possible means to bring back to the side of justice the'deceived.peo pie of Buenos Ayres, and ail these provinces. " MADRID, APRIL 18.—Besides the expedition to Montevideo, which will consist of from 4500 to 5000 men, two others are to go out ; one to -Costa Firma, and the other to Vera Cruz ; we do not know who will command them." It is with the most sincere pleasure that we can assure our Readers, that Letters have been received this day from Sir JOHN HOPE (Baron , Niddry), dated the very day that the vessel which was said to have brought the report of his death sailed from Passages. The wounds of that gallant Officer are healing rapidly. We are - happy to have it in our power to lay before our Readers Letter No. .I\7. of our Corres pondent in France, which did not arrive in► due course. . We have this day inserted an article from Rome, to which we referred on Monday : it is an in. c resting article, and will demand at a future period some detailed observat ions. The Gazette of last night announces the pro motion of Lord WELLINGTON to the dignity of a Dukedom, by the title of Duke of Wellington. His second title is Marquis Douro. Sir J. HOPE is created Baron Nidilry; Sir T. GRAHAM, Baron Lyndoch ; Sir S. COTTON, Baron Combermere ; Sir R. HILL, Bardn Hill; Sir W. C. BERESFORD, Baron Beresford of Albuera. Yesterday the Duke of YORK held his .weekly Levee, which was numerously attended. by Fo reign Officers. who have lately arirved in. this country, and others. Viscount SIUIIOUrII had yesterday an . audience of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House. A Court of Cothmon Council is to be held at Guildhall to-morrow, at twelve o'clock. Captain FITZCLARENCE is recovering very fast from the effect• of •his .wound. The ball passed entirely through his thigh, without injuring the bone, and the consequences' are not likely to biit of the least inconvenience. DUCHESS OF OLDENBURGH.—Yesterday morn ing, about half-past seven o'clock, her Imperial Highness and suite 4 - ft Pulteney Hotel, in three carriages and four for Oxford. iAuf, APRIL tea. It is certain that EiJOSTAI'ARTE was earnest in hii desire to be permitt'cd'tp chuse an asylum iii .•..- , Englantl. What a tribute to the national charac.. ter, that even the guilty thind of , its dii . ectenerity, conscious of midnight blodd and secret assaisina tion, should deem Britain to be that Spot iii the world 'where the laws afforded the surest protec tion not only to the fallen; but to the 'criminal ! to the criminal whose offencei were committed out of theii• jurisdiction, and who is, of - course, not amenable . to their tribunal. It should seem; however, that at present there will be no altera tion in the destination of this extraordinary per, son " Lord WELLINGTON, I am sorry to learn, will not be able to visit Paris, as was intended, -and much Wished for by all racks and nations here as sembled. Thek'rench appear to lament , this dis appointment mou than the British. ALEXANDER and WELLINGTON are the Heroes of Paris ; . and having gratified . thernselves with the sight of the former, the novelty of the Liberator Of the Penin sula was most 'anxiously demanded. The reason of his Lordship's not coming is, his being in the service of Spain as %veil as of England, As Gene ralissimo of the Armies of FERDINAND VII. it is his duty to meet the King at Madrid. After this, the expectation is indulged of his still visiting this city; but I am not aware of the grounds on which this hope is built. " The Emperor ALEXANDER, who is really idolized here, will not depart for London for a week or ten clays after the arrival of the King of FRANCE. I have seen hint repeatedly—he is a fine, intelligent, graceful, and noble-looking maa. " Grand preparations are making for the recep tion of Louts XVIII. whose.public entrance will, I believe, take place on Monday. ,A suite of Of ficers, servants, and carriages, &c. set off yes terday for Compeigne, for the use of his Majesty. Fire-works are to be displayed from all the bridges. Statues and triumphal arches are everywhere erecting. Paintings and ttansparencics innunte rable. are already exhibited ;, and the White Cock ade becorning universal as a part of dress.-- • You bave, of course, heard of the conclusion of a General Armistice in Italy. A Russian .Ge neral (MIT-AN or, MUTAN) set out this' day for that country, on .a special Mission. He was ac- . couipanied by several Aides-de-Camp, and by Mr. HUNTER, the British, Messenger. Speculation ascribes his journey to some new arrangements respecting BUONAPARTE ; but it May probably refer to the disposition of EUGENE BEAUHARNOIS. " Col. LOWE arrived at Lord CAStLEREAG/I'S this morning, with dispatches from England. " There has been within these few days a great influx of British travellers, merchants, &c. At present, however, it is difficult to procure horses np from the coast." Yesterday his Rq,ynl Highness the PRINCE Rs- GENT walked in Pall-Mall, and appeared in ex cellent health and spirits. His Royal Highness was dressed in a plain - brown coat, and was arm in arm with his Royal- Brothers, the Dukes of YORK and CLARENCE. They proceeded to the British Institution,. where they were received by the Marquis of STAFFORD, the Deputy President, the Earls of LONSDALE, MULGEAVE; and DARN LEY, Lord DOUGLAS, the Right Hon. OnAruss LONG, Directors and Governors of the Institu tion, ‘vho conducted thempver the Gallery. At three o'clock, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, accom panied by his sister the'Princess SOPHIA, attend ed; and at five the Princess CHARLOTTE, accour panied by the D,uchess of LEEDS and Miss limo HT., attended. • - Several carriages arrived yesterday morning at the- office of the Foreign Department in Downing street, with a number of persons in Turkish cos tume, underitood to be Members of an Embassy from the OTTOMAN PORTE; We understand they were accompanied‘by an interpreter, and by one of. the Under Secretaries of the British Embassy at Constipainople. The'Emperor of AUSTRIA has conferred the ho nour of a Knight Commander of the distinguished Military Order of Maria Theresa on Admiral Fa EE MANTLE, for his active and successful services in the Adriatic. This is the first and only instance of the , rank of Commander of this Order having been conferred on a British Admiral. The Rose, Apollo, Diana, Lord Eldon, North ampton, and Carmarthen East Indiamen, and the Perseverance, Phiomix, Anti,. and Venus .whalers, have arrived Of Falmouth from India, last from St. Helena. TT FIE THEATRE.—The Opera of. Lionel and Cla rissa .was: revived at Covent-Garden Thetiti'e laSt night.. Miss STEPHENS fully confirmed-her repu tation as a very interesting actress, as wet! as ad 'mi'rable singer, byber performanCe of CiarLssa.-.-- SINCLAIR improves in acting ; hitt he flourirbed boo much in the airs of Lionel.—FAivcETT's Cq/o netpldboY, and LISToN's Jessarny, a(illed humour and variety to the piece, which was very well re ceived. We strongly condemn . the practice of al tering interpolating an establiShed Opera, by the substitution, or addition, of compoitions not belonging to the original drama. CORINT-EXCI“NGE, MAY 4.—We had but few arrivals of Grain this morning. There were some ForeigU Oats,, which - sold on full as good terms as on Monday. The sales. in Wheat were at Mon day's prices. Barley supports its price. Other kinds of Grain remain at the last quotation. 1 .T . A..

NAVAL Iti?,DUCTION. The vigilance and promptitude of the present Board Of Admiralty, are strikingly manifested in the following Official Document, which has just been issued.. It sheki;si that though: a reduction. in our• Naval Establishment is dcenied expedient and necessary, yet that it is to be gradUally a* complished, and with a Oolitic reference to the situation of affairs between Gteat Britain and the United States of America. " Admiralty Office,-30th April, 1814: "The Lords Cotrimissioners of the Admiralty cannot aunoinice to the Fleet the terthination of hostilities with - France, without cxureSsing to thl Petty Officers, thg Seamen, and !Royal Marines of his Majesty's ships, toe high sense which their Lordships entertain of their gallant and glorious services during the late war. • The patience,"perseverance, and di2cipl!oe ; the skill, con Fag-e, and devotion • with which the- Seamen- -Marines have uphttld beSt duce rests,•and achieved the noblest triumphs of the country, entitle them to the. gratitude, not on' y of their naxive land, which they have preserved inviolate, but of tho other nations tjf fiLttrope, of whose ultimate deliverance their successes main tained the hope, and kceelel'atcd the accoinplish meta. • " Their Lordships regret that the unjust and unprovoked aggression of the American . 6overn . - ment, in sdeclar .ing war upon this entintry, atter ' all the causes of its original conylaint had been ,removed„ does .not. permit them to reduce theFlect at once to the peace establishment ; but as the gnestion now' at issue in this war the main tenance 'of those' . Maritime Rights, which are:the ' sure foundatiOns of our naval glory, their Lord ships look with confidence. to that part "of the Fleet, which it may be still necessary•to keep is commission, for a I continuance of tha.t spirit .of discipline and gallantry, which has, raised 'the British Navy to its present pre:eminence. " reducing • the Fleet to the establishment necessary for the American War, the Seamen and Marines will find their Lordships attentive to the claims of their respective services. " The•reduction - will be first made in the crews of those ships which it may be found expedient to pay off, and from them the Petty Officers' and Seamen will be successively discharFed, according to the length of their services ; beginning, iii the first instance, with all thoSe who w ere in his ALl jesty's service previous to the 7th of INiarCh 1 803 , ' and have since continued in it. ‘f.. When this reduction shall have been thus made, as to the ships paid citl,, their Lordships -will direct their - attention to those which it may be found necessary to keep in commissiort,Jand, as soon as the circumstances of the war will ad mit, will bring home and discharge ail . persons having the same standing and peri9ds cf service, as those before discharged Wont the ships'paid oil: so that, in a few months, the situation of victuals will be equalized ; al-1 men of a c er t a i n period of service will be at liberty to return hrime to their families ; and the number which it !illy b e soil, necessary to retain, will - be composed f f those ivho have_been the shortest -time in the service, • " An arrangement in itself so Just, tannot,• their Lordships' opinion, tail to v e universal Sa tisfaction ; and they are induced to mike this communication to the. Fleet, because they thiuk that the exeMplary good conduct of E n tire p.2tty Officers, Seamen, and Marines, entitle theiu to every confidence, and to this mull and candid ex planation of their Lordship! intentions. • " Their Lordship's cannot ccinclude without expressing their hope, that the valour of his MT jesty's Fleets and Armies with speedily bring the American contest to a conclusion honourable to the British name, sate for British interests, and conducive to the lasting repose of the civilized world.
