SOLEM QUIS DICZKX TALSUM. AIiDEtIT ? L 0 N D 0 N, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1806. WE stated yesterday' that- Admiral COCHRANE was in sight of the French Squadron on the 6th July, and our , statement'W'aS confirmed hy. the fol lowing Official; Bulletin,. which . was sent froin the Admiralty to the LORD 1.1:14YOR, and posted up at LLOYD'S : Acluzircf4-offic.e; Aug.. i 2. " Nothing material has been received by this day's pos t from Plymouth, in addition to the Message by the Tele: graph on Sunday, excepting the date. .The two Squadrons were seen on the 6th jury, under the circumstances before mentioned, by a Danish Vessel, which left S . t. Thomas's on that day: " The Trade for England were on the sth ult. at anchor at Tortola.!? No further intelligence has since been received ; but we hatter ourselves that the next accounts from the West Indies will be of a gratifying nature. There is every reason to believe that SW JOHN 130 R•• LASE WARREN would arrive at Earbadoes about the ipth or 12th ' July, and of course. would lose no time - in pursuing .the track of the French Squadron. If Admiral COCHRANE should succeed in engaging and .disabling some of the rear Ships of the. Enemy's Squadron, which there is every reason to believe it was his, intention, their 'progress would be impeded, and Sir JOHN WARREN'Z chance. of overtaking them- considerably increased. OUR Readers will end,, in a subsequent column, what is stated to be the outline of ,BosApAwrg's Plan for the alteration, or rather, the subversion, of the Germanic Constitution. The EMPEROR of GER-, IuANY is, as ,we expeded., to be deprived ,of all power as Head of the Empire, and his authority limited to hiS Hereditary States. We have . already expresed_ our doubts whether he will be perrriitted to retain the title of "Emperor of Germany;" in deed; If BONAPARTE'S new Plan be adopted, that Title will, in fad, belong to . him, as he will be the real head of the Empire. It is said that his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY is extremely dis satisfied with the proposed alterations, and 'that he intehds to remonstrate in the strongest manner . against,thetn. That the KING of PRUSSIA is disSatis;- lied at the events which have occurred for the last few monthi, we have no doubt, because they have not only clefe,ated whatever Plans of aggrandize ment he might . have forted, but have rendered cdmpletely nugatory the system of Politics iapon whicli Prussia has almost invariably a&ed since she lasri2en to her present rank among the Powers of Europ. The anxious wish which the Cabinet of Berlin has always felt to see the power of the House of Anstria reduced,- has, unfortunately, beencom pletely gratified ; but, while Prussia was endeavour ,, ng to humble a rival, she has in effect given to: herself l.roaster; for the uncontrouled influence of BONAPARTE en the Continent justifies that expres-. slot!. But whatever clisapperintment his. Prussian Majesty may -feel, we are convinced. that he :will not attertipt any serifius opposition to the:proposed' changes. There was -a time when the sincere and adie co-operation of 'Prussia would 'ha've keservett indepeildet'ee 21 Europe ; but that time is past, and Prussia :`nay now ilinent, but she cannot retrieve ber errors. It is not to be supposed that Prussia, after retu..mg to join with 3ussia and Austria in . a coali tion .} ainst France, will now vpnture'upon the con tes singie-liande . d. We are not yet in possession of Ames of ail the Princes and States that mean toj,,in-in t; !e new Confederation, o f w hi c h BONA rA-RrE is to be the Head, but :We may venture to 'predict that it will include almost every Prince and Curate iri Germany. It is well . known that BONA ,rARTE always considers those as his Enemies who are !Jot his Friends : upon the same , principle he will consider- those who do not seek his prote&ipn, as delyilsg his po er. It ia said that BONTATARTE has proposed to The. King of Prussia to put himself at the head of a Con fedciacy of the States in the North of Germany it is not likely that any of the German Princes would now choose to put themselves under the pro teaion of Prussia. • The last Foreign Papers do not contain any ac counts of the progress of the Negotiation betwee n the' kings of SWEDEN and PRUSSIA , but we still think that the differences between those Sovereigns will be adjusted under the tpediation of Russia. "ix 4; have every, reasop to believe that the Disco= intim of Parliament will take place early next ;noi4tl). TIM day before yesterday Sir ARV= F',IET ar rived in town from Vienna: IT was reported that a IN„,tessenger bad arrived yes terday evening with Dispatches from Lord LAcrir,- pALE. We are; however, enabled to state that no Messenger bad arrived from Paris' when this Paper was put to Press. Mr. Fox had a favourable night, and was still b: tier this morning. PRINCESS ELIZABETii'S apartments in. Windsor. Castle are preparing, , and are to be new •farnisbed" in a very elegant style by direction of His MAJESTY. On Monday her Royal - Highness - AuGusTAs Du chess of Brqnswick 7 Wolfenbuttle (Sister to His MAJESTY) completed the 69th year of her age.. This PRINCESS is now the only remaining col lateral branch of His MAJESTY'S illustrious Fa . rnily. sixty pounds were given yesterday to receive one hundred in case a Definitive Treaty ofPeace should. be signed op the Ist of January next. The policy, which was for eight hundred pounds; was. done at Tom's ; Coffee-house. . , . The following are the new Commissioners of Re venue in Ireland, viz.—. Hon. Mr. * :HUTcHINSON, Mr. THERRY, Mr. MACQUAY., Mr. TAYLOR, Mr. PUNDAS, and Mr. MARSbEN. Lady I\I::LBouRNE has been so much indisposed that her illness gave riie to very serious apprehen sions. She is, however, well enough now to admit the visits of her friends. The Duchess of lioxsußon yesterday gave her hand to Mr. MANNERS a t the hymeneal shrine. The fashionable circles announce a speedy union, between Lord FOLEY and Lady CECILIA FrrzcE RALD. • It is reported at Paris, that a Treaty ,of Alliance has been signed with the Ottoman Porte, by which France binds herself to aid.in sUppressing the Ser.., yianinsurgents. lithe Por te c on s e nt s t o a d m it Vretwh, troops into its territories, it will find that it has in troduced a more dangerous and fatal enemy than the one whom they were called in to subdue. It has been thought that the diSmission of French Officers from the. Russian Service will lead to an order for the .removal of the King of France .from the territories of the Russian Emperor. That Prince, ,however, must feel .too much for the misforttines of. the unfortunate Monarch, and 'be 'too sensibly impressed with the instability of all , human great ness, to deprive the illustrious vietim of his pro te6tion,:particularly as his removal to any other State within the scope of French artifice might; expose him to the same fate which befell the amia ble Duke D'ENGHEIN. - ' • The Queen's. Bays, ,which were in barracks;atn Dorchester, and in quarters' at Blandford, on satiii--; day towards the evening- very unexpeaedly received their route to march to Plymouth, with . positive or ders not to halt till they reached Bridport, and then to proceed on with as little delay as possible. What Could occasion the necessity for such expedition is not known ; but the summons was obeyed with gre'at alacrity by the Soldiers--,in twenty minutes after the division at Blandford received their orders to march they left the town. . . It appears that a considerable part 'of the army in tended to accompany the. Expedition ,about to sail from the Downs, has not yet been able to .enthark, which is attributed , to an unexpe&ed -deficiency of Transports. They will, therefore, form a subsequent detachment, which has probably given rise to the re port of a third Expedition being in agitation.. _The . Troops that yet remain to embark are part of the: 62d, the whole of the 88th, the 40th (1100 strong), the 2d, or Queen's Foot ; 13th ditto; 14th, 2d Bat talion ; and 40th, 2d Battalion.. Two German Re giments are also expe&ed to' embark, as well as se• veral Reginiepts from Ireland. It has been observed in the French Papers that the Jews gave a very satisfaelory proof of their respect; for Government; in assembling on their Sabbath to receive the commands of the Emperor. But the very circutnstance of convening them on, their Sab bath was a needless violation of their religious prin ciples,. and a wanton insult that must prepare them for something worse. It is evident that they dared not disobey the summons, lest a More severe fate . should await them. As to the questions propdsed them,. they are frivolous indeed, since they -re lated to ceremonies which are well-known among the Jewish rites, and it was quite absurd to convene a large body of the people to ant;wer them, unless for the purposeof iinpressing them with a due awe for the .Government, and a disposition to submit to whatever it may be pleased to exact. ,The crop of Hops promises to be so abundant this year, that the ,Duty - is_ estimated at, 155,0001, This morning Diwid Robertson,..who was con-'- viCtecl at ,the Old Bailey the Sessions before last, of a detestable crime, was executed at NeW gate.

I have the honour to inform you of the arrival of His Majsty's Ship under my eotnmand at this tin chora4e, with the Victuallers named in the margin*, accompanied by the Spanish Ship Nostra SeriOra de los Dolores, alias La Reparadora, of thirty guns (twelve and twenty-four pounders) and three hun dred and fifteen men, commanded .by Stanislaus Comaud, an Officer in the Spanish Navy. We fell in with, andcaptured her, on the 6th inst. in lat. 30 deg. 30 min. S. and long. 15 deg. .9,0 miu. W. She had beep out a month from Monte Vidoo, in the Rio de la Plata, and had taken nothing. I have great satisfaction in announcing the capture of this Ship to you, as from her magnitude and force, she might have done much mischief to the trade on the Coast . of Africa; her Crew are a desperate set of French, Spaniards, Portuguese, and Americans, the principal Officers French: she had authority from the Vice- Roy to wear the Colours of the King 'of Spain, and had a Company of Spanish Infantry on board. She is a strong well-built Vessel, about four years old, coppered,. and capper fastened, and 'is, in my opi nion, well calculated for His Majesty's service. . I have the Honour to be, 6.c.

Copy of another Letter from Captain Stiles, of His Mrdesty's Ship Adamant, to IP illiam Marsden, Esq. dated at St. Helena, Jane 25, 1806. • slit, our days before I parted with the East. India Convoy, I fell in.. with and captured a Spanish Ship of War of thirty.. guns and three .hundred and fif teen men ; the particulars of which I beg leave to inclose in a Letter No. 1. I arrived in Table Bay, with the Victuallers, on the -20th of May; and, having seen: them in safety without anchoring my self, 1 immediately prOceeded to sea on my return to St. Helena, according to their Lordships' orders ; but meeting with a most violent gale of wind from the N. W. and being very short of water (having been three months from England without touching at any place, with three hundred and fifteen prison, ers), both my tuaingapsail yards carried away, and my peOple very much afflicted with the scurvy, I thought myself justified in bearing up for Simon's Bay for refreshments. The French Admiral Wil 7 ieaumez, with six Sail of the Line, was in these Seas - about six, weeks ago : his intention was to have gone to the Cape; but hearing it was in our,posses sion he was obliged to go to Fernand de Noronha for, water, and has not since been heard of. The Cannonniere French Frigate (late His Majesty's Ship Minerve) put into False Bay about the Ist of May, not knowing the Cape was. in our hands, and sent her Boat on shore with a Lieutenant, who, with his Crew, are prisoners on board this Ship. As there was no Man of War in either Table or False Bay, and as she did not quite fetcu into the proper annor age, she got away, and it, is supposed she is gone to the Isle of France, where the Piedmontese is lying blocked up by 'the Russet, Loru Duncan, and Psycne. .

When PALMER introduced the bead of . BONA !

The head of Mr. PITT was also introduced, and the Audience in general as heartily joined in the eulogians , which were paid to the high merits of that illustrious Statesman. Some persons, however, expressed dissatisfaetion the: either head was introduced, as the subject tended - tq excite political feelings in a place intended for mere amusement.

A few days ago, after returning from perform!! ing the last duties over a brother- soldier, a hairt dresser at Chelmsford placed his musket in his shop, where it generally, stood for the amusement of his customers. On the next evening, Saturday, the time of general muster for the razor-exercise, the .shop being much crowded, the conversation ran upon the Training-bill, when the musket was handled by several with . considerable ability.
