L 0 N D 0 211, MONDA.Y, AUGUST 18, 1 so(3. THE liamburgh Mail dile on Thursday last. at., rived last night. It brings full details of the new Confederation which BONAPARTE has substituted in the room of the ancient Germanic Constitution. The Treaty of Confederation, by which a very large portion of the 'German Empire is virtually annexed to France, consists of forty Articles. It would be a tedious as well as an uselcas task to comment at length upon this most extraordinary Treaty ; it is sufficient to say, that it justifies the expression we have before used, -viz. that, the G;rmart States who have entered into this Confederation are virtually atineed to France. The different Princes will retain r ntrietlPng like the appearance of Sovereignty within their dominions; bdt with regard to foreign relations, tlley can no more Aa in opposition to the w ll of BOSAPARTE, than any of his prefects. Indeed, be fore this. Treaty was signed, BONArARTE possessed I , an absolute coutroul over almost all the States tnat I have at present entered into the . Ccnfederation ; but his power is now legalized, and reduced to a • system: We have, upon a former occasion, stated ,our opinion, that a majority of the Stases of Ger many would beCome Members of this new Confe deration, in the hope of el -Chasing a precarious tranquillity at the expence of their Independence ; and then BONAPARTE ) , instead of Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, will probably assume the title of " Emperor of the West."—lt is said, in a private. Letter from Hamburg!), that Austria and Prussia have taken serious alarm at ; this Treaty, and that a League is about to be formed, consisting of Austria, Prussia, Swe den, Pomerania, Hesse Cassel, Brunswick, and Wirtemburgh, for the purpose of maintaining the independence of the Northern part of Europe, and that Russia, Great Britain, and Denmark, are ex peeted to accede to this league. We are sorry to say, th?t this Letter is entitled to very little attention. Without noticing the absurdity of making I,Virtem burgh, which has entered into the Confederation of the Rhine, join in a league against it, the situation of the other Powers mentioned is such as to for bid us to hope that they can now oppose any ef feaual bar to the ambitious progress of BONAPARTE. ON Saturday morning four Troops of the 2d Dragoons (dismounted), under the command of Col. BLACRUIERE, embarked on board the Malta, The seus, Superb,and Canopus, in Cawsand Bay. A Com pany of Artillery was also embarked under the com mand of Col. Howxcu. The Dragoons took their horse equipage with them. Their destination is not known, but it is expected that they will sail imme diately, as the utmost expedition has been used to fit out the Ships of War. We are rather inclined to think that they are going to Portugal. On Friday morning General SIMCOE and Suite embarked on hoard the St. Marguelita Frigate, and sailed immediately ; but it is understood that the Frigate is to wait off the Rock of Lisbon for one of the Expeditions now fitting out. WE are sorry to learn that the three French Fri gates, which were in company with Le Rhin, when she ‘vas captured by the Mars, have etfe62ed their escape into Bourdeaux. The Caroline Armed Ship arrived at Plymouth on Saturday, and on her pas sage fell in with a Neutral, from whom she obtained the above information. The Transports, with the Troops oil board, sailed yesterday from Deal. THE last accounts • which Government received from the West Indies stated, that MIRANDA had re ceived such reinforcements, and, in spite •of all the vigilance of the S ‘ mnish Officers, suchintelli gence respelling the sentiments of the • people whose deliverance he is endeavouring to. 'eft - ea,- notwith standing his late failure, as emboldened him 'to renew the attempt, in high spirits and a full per suasion of success. These accounts state, that he was then at Trinidad, making very active prepara tions for an immediate renewal of his adventurous Expedition. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, DuAegbf KENT, and CAMBRIDGE, Generals FITZROY and. CART' Wit GII r, paraded the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, and HIS MAJESTY'S Royal .Stafford Regi ment, in the Court yard. He, afterwards' . walked to the Cathedral, with Princesses AUGUSTA, So rurA, and AMELIA, Dukes .of KENT and CA M•• BRIDGE, Lady ELY, Generals CARTWRIGHT and nrinoy, where a sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. LONG j afterwards rode in their carriages to Frogmore. HER MAJESTY, Princesses . ELIZA And MARY, had prayers performed - in the Pa lace ; they afterwards rode to Frog - more, and .re turned at three o'clock. Saturday being the Duke of YORK'S Birth-day, it was observed in town with every demonstration of joy. All the Theatres were brilliantly illuminated, and His Royal Highness's tradesmen in the West End of the Town sheaved their loyalty by illumi nating their windows. The Servants at Vark House, Portman-square, had a grand dinner and ball, to which they invited their friends. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES ar rived in town yesterday evening from Oatlands. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND returned to town yesterday morning from.Oatlands.. His Royal Highness set off immediately to Kew. Mr, Fox's spirits have been considerably improved since the late operation, and the consolatory opinions of Dr. Pt CAIRN have contributed to augment that good eflbet. He is now able .to receive .a :greater numoer of his friends, who had necessarily been precluded from the pleasure of .seeing him during the unfavourable, or rather alarrning„:symptoms which for some time attended him. • Thu King of Holland has sent notice to the Se nate of Hamburgh, that 4ie intends to establish a Post-oifice of his own in that City. in the EleL•torate of Brandenburgh, the .people are ;o afraid of a visit from the French; - that the-Mer chants Of Magdeburgh, on the 6th inst. counter manded a quantity of • goods that were. to be sent from 'Hainburgh tip the Elbe, for fear of their falling into the bands •ol the enemy. . . The inhabitants of Prague have been thrown into great astonishment by the marriag&of the son Of the Reigning Prince WI/AAA:: of Auersperg, with• his father's consent, to the daughter of a co/perted Jew, wile., it ib true, poisesics prodigious wpalth.

Copy ofa Letterfrom Vice Admiral Holloway to TV Marsden, Esq. dated on board the Princess , of _ . Orange, Downs, Aug. 13, 1806. SIR, I have the honor to transmit, for their Lordships' information, a letter I have received from Lieutenant Hughes, of his Majesty's Fire-brig Phosphorus, giv- Mg an account of his having beat off a French Lugger Privateer, under circumstances - which I have no doubt, when their Lordships consider the state of the Phosphorus, they will think highly`creditable to him. I also transmit a List of the Wounded, amongst whom is Lieut. Hughes ; and I am sorry to add, that he will not be , able to proceed to sea in the Phosphorus in execution of his orders. I have the honor to be, &c. J. HOLLOWAY • His Majesty's Fire Brig Phosphorus. SIR, Downs, August 15, 1806. I have the honour to inform you, for the in formation of the Commander in Chief, -in pur suance of orders from the Right Honourable Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, proceeding to join the Channel Fleet, I yesterday morning at day break, the Isle of Wight bearing north, eight ...leagues, perceived a large Lugger, pierced for sixteen ports, but mounting, apparently, only • twelve guns, and full of men, in chase of us : At ten minutes past five, after hailing him, and re ceiving an order to strike, or he would sink us, commenced engaging him. At twenty minutes past five, the Enemy laid us alongside, With three cheers, and from his superiority of men, .there being, as near as we could judge, from seven ty to eighty of them, attempted ,to carry us by boarding, but such was the brave and determined resistance of the few men I had under my corn mand, that after lying five and forty minutes alongside of us, and after an anion of one hour and len minutes, he made sail and sheered off.— The moment we could get the Brig Wore, we made all sail in chace 'of him, but finding it impossible to come up with him, and having the sails and rig ging much cut, with a number of men wounded, and no Surgeon or Assistant on board ; I bore up and made all sail for this place, which I hope will • meet the approbation of the Commander in Chief and yourself. The superior force with which we were engaged, will, I trust, speak sufficiently of itself for the bra very of the few men in His Majesty's Brig, con sisting, in all, Officers included, but of twenty-four, with four twelve-pound carronades, one of which was rendered useless a short time after, the aetion commenced, by the breeching and gooseneck break— ing. I cannot pass over the great assistance I received from Mr. Thomas Hester, A&ting Second Master, , without mentioning it in this public manner ; I am ' sorry to say he is in the list of wounded, but not • dangeronsly. - Enclosed I have the honour to transmit a List of the Wounded, which, though great, cannot come near that of the Enemy, numbers of whom were seen to fall in every direaion. I have the Honour to be, &c. \\T. J. HUGIIES, Lieut. and Corn, J. Hollowoy, Esq. Vice-Admiral of the &c. &c. &c. Downs. A List of Men wounded on board His .Majesty's Fire-brig Phosphorus, W. J.
