EVE stated on- Saturday information, upon which we new vi t e could place the . most -implicit ,confi.; deuce,' that ,Lord'LAIMERDALE 'would leave Town that day. His Lordship left ToWn in the afternoon,- accompanied by Mr. GODDARD anO.,,apother Geritle man, attended by Mr. BASILICO theiMosenger, and arriv:l a: Deal between one'andi tWo o'clock in ,the Inwilkng. Admiral HOLL'owAy was inimediatcly called up, wllo sent for Commodore Owjri. Afte r .:.•king a slight refreshment at the Admiral's. house, his - Lordship, with the two Gentlemen and Mr. B 4 SILIco, embarked on board the Cy' de Frigate, Commodore OWEN; and it Was expected that they would reachßoulogiie abouCeleven_or twelve o'clock yesterday. • WE . have this day made ;;ore Extra&s from the Halablirgh Mail which arrived on Saturday night. 'e , were enabled to anticipate the principal Articles which if contains in our Paper of Saturday., The plan for the entire subversion of the ancient .Con'sti tution of Germany seems nearly ripe for execution. We doubt whether the EMPEROR of GERMANY will be allowed to retain the nominal title' of, ‘f Head of the Empire," but .certainly he will be deprived of all the power and 'influence which fOrmerly belonsed to that exalted station. The French are colleting a very - large Army in Dalmatia, for the purpose, as it is state 1, of assisting the Turks in subduing the Ser vian Insurgents. This service will, no doubt ) , be re warded by the Porte with some important Cessions t , France, which will enable her to acquire and ivaintain a decided preponderance , iti; the Turkish Councils.: It is said that Austria and t'rrissia have , . 'protested against the Eletion of Cardinalli'Escd to be Coadjutor to the Ele6tor Arch-Chancellor, but this opposition comes now too late.- THE, conclusion of a Separate Peace between France and Russia, of which 'we .gave the first in formation-to the . Public, fully justifies all we'said on, the silence of the King's Speech as to our Allies, and affords a very striking proof of the discernment . - • and prudence'of Administration: It is evident that something must have occurred which induced them to apprehend that they could not place the same re rrimce on the New Admiuistration of Russia as in their. Predecessors, and therefore our Ministers wise- Iy forebcre to commit themselves- on •the sublet of ' our Allies, by .any allUsiOn to thern in' the Royal Speech.on the plroroga tiot of Parliament. Now, then, it is to be:hoped that the opponents of Go vernment will recant, their censures on - that:cautious reserve, which was the effect of Sound. Oulicy and wisdom. , Mr. Fox, according to some reports' to day, is much worse ; but though it has been thought ne cessary to make some addition to the medical autho ritiesin consultation upon his case, we lave reason to believe that no essential change, favourable or otherwise, has aaually taken place within the last three or four'days. Yesterday morning His Majesty paraded"tho Royal ihiorso Guards and Royal Stafford Regirrients iti Windsor Court Yard; The bands of each a ßegi- Inellt played during the.time. Afterwards : His MA JEsTY walked to St. George's Chapel with the Prin 7 cesses AUGUSTA, ,MARY, Sopithk, and AMELIA, attended by Ladies ELY, M; BOOTHEY, .011 d CUM- B a LAND, Lord ST. HELENS, Generals CARTWRIGHT and Frrzxoy,, and Col. TAYLOR, where a *mon was preached by the Rev. Nlr. LONG; after which they went to Frogmore, where Her MAJESTY and Princess ELIZ.-VRETH were ready to receive them, aml partook of a cold collation. The Letters by the Lisbon Mail were delivered on Saturday ; one dated the 18th ult, mentions that, In consequence of a communication from Paris, orders had been sent from Madrid for the sailing of the Squadron at Carthagena, as Vas supposed for Italy. • Government received on Saturday some Dispatches from Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE, by' the Gipsey Schooner, arrived at' Portsmouth, blit they are dated the !.?.sth June, and consequently bring nothing new.

As a victory is aehie‘ed in any part, of the . workl without the assistance of a part.of this !body; we sincerely hope thfit they will soon receive that re ..ompence trotu the literality of Government which their zeal, patriotism, and military prowess, so am dece!,.e.

His Ma jesty's Ship the Hibernia; Ushant, the 27th July, 1806. SIR, I inclose the relation of a very gallant "%Ilion in which the most intrepid valour has been manifested, and the national charader highly sustained; but I greatly .lament the loss of a number of brave men in the performanCe of it, flattering myself, however, that sixteen of them are prisoners. I am, &c. ST. VINCENT. Centaur, off Rochefort; MY LORD, jll/1/19, 1806. I beg leave to inclose to your Loralhip a Letter I have received from Captain Rodd, of His 11/lajesty's Ship Indefatigable, giving an account Of an Attack made by a Boat from each Line-of-battle Ship of this Squadron, and those of His Majesty's Ships In defatigable and Iris; on two Corvettes - and a Con voy, in the entrance of the River Garonne. Le Caesar, the largest Corvette, was boarded and car-- ried by the division of Boats led on by Lieut. Sibly, First Lieutenant of the Centaur, in a style highly. honourable to the national chara&er. The western breeze-that sprung up after the Boats left the Inde fatigable, and blowing stronger as they advanced, was truly perplexing, for it was the only circum stance that could have prevented the whole falling into our hands; they took advantage on the first attack, and made sail, and escaped before the wind and tide up the Garonne; it was impossible for the Boats to prevent them. The firm resistance made by the Corvette caused a greater loss than could be expeeled, but nothing could withstand the bravery of the Officers and Seamen employed: •.- ---' To Lieutenant Sibly's gallantry no worgs - .pl . nine are equal to do justice, every one speaki d film in terms of the highest commendation, and I had be 7 fore, in the West Indies, experienced his brave conduft, and he now has seven severe wounds; but I hope none mortal, and I beg leave to recom mend him as an Officer truly deserving the atten tion of my Lords. Commissioners of the Admiralty. To Lieut. Parker, First of the Indefatigable, much praise is due; and given him by Lieut.

SIR, I have the Honour to acquaint you,, -in obedience to your orders of the 141 ft inst. I gave the command of the Boats of the Squadron: you sent me by the Iris, for the purpose of endeavouring ,to capture or destroy the French Convoy, in the entrance of the River of Bourdeaux (with the addition of three from thelndefatigable, and three from the Iris), to Lieu tenant Sibly, of the Centaur, with all the informa tion I was in possession of respeding their situation, in the evening of the 15th, it appearing a favourable time to. make the attempt ; though some tiiiie''afier the Boats had quitted the Indetatigabie the wind shifted to the westward and came on to htow, fresh,. notwithstanding theßoats proceeded to VerdittßOad, boarded and carried . the French Brig Le Cmsar, of 18 guns, and by the Rolle d'Equipage, 8(5 men, commanded by Mons. Louis Francois Hedor Fuurre, Lieutenant de Vaisseau., The contlidt was severe on both sides, the Frenchmen being in every reaped well prepared, expelling the attack... The wind coming to blow-fresh, and the tide running very strong, was much against the Boats; but nothing could withstand such Men led on by the Officers who "commanded them. \ Lieut. Sibly, I lament to say, is badly wounded M several places, though, from the report`' the Surgeon, I trust, will recover. To this gallair,Ofe ficer (whose condu& is spoken of by all whowere under his command with admiration) tbeg to refer you fiy. particulars.

SIR, His lifidesty's Ship Minerva, Oporto Road, 12th July, 1 8 DU. I have the Honour to inform you, that finding it were likely His Majesty's Ship under my command might be detained, in these Roads a couple of days, ::and being informei the Oporto. and Lisbon Trade were hourly expected from England, for whom seve ral' Spanish Privateers' and Row-boats were lurking .in Portuguese Creeks and Rivers, I determined upon sending a Boat to, the Northward, and at the solici tation of my First Lieutenant, Mr. Mulcaster, I dis patched him on the gth instant, in the,Barge with his former eornpanion; 'Lieut. Menzies, of the Ma rines, who, upon every opportunity,' as most hand somely voltinteered his services,, and Mr. Turrell, Midshipman, to crutze.a few leagues North of this Port, with the hope of intercepting some of the Pi ratical Cruizers belonging to Guarda. ' • , _ . . _ _ _ . On the evening of 11th I had the satisfac tion to be rejoined by the Barge, .bauing a Spanish Lugger in company, La Buena Dicha Privateer, armed with one 9 -pounder, blunderbuises, and rnus ketrY, manned with 26' of the Guatda Desperadoes, and capable of row►ng 20 sweeps. The very general, - naive, • aul enterprizing cha ra6ter of Lieut. Mulcaster, :will not, I trust,,suffer by my giving you the particulars of the.capture ,of the Privateer, which, though ii si'glificant in herself, is one of thoSe, from their peculiar conitruaion i which have done much mischief to British Oporto Traders. The Lugger having been apprized by a fishing-boat of the Barge being near her, was fat from avoiding the contest, which, though short, was severe. The Barge advanced under a discharge of grape-shot i trona the prow-gun, which was soon cleared, when the Enemy prepiired to defend them• selves with the sabre and pistol, which the activity and resolution of the Officers, seconded by Serjeant Hull and Peter Ward; Gunzier's-Mate, and others :~~,
