LVons, May 23 ——VVe expect the ar
rival here ot Marshal Augereau, the duke
of Castiglinne. who had resigned the com
mand ot the ar:-y of Catalonia, in order
to return to Paris. His successor, M ir
shal Macdonald, has hy this time probably
arrived in Gerona, where the head-quar
ters ot the 7'h corps still are. General
Eacombe St. Michael still holds the situati
on of Governor of Barcelona, but will s,mn
have another destination. That city is now
in a more favorable situation than it was at
the beginning of winter All is quiet in
the vicinity ; the armed bands since their
late defeats, have retired to the mountains,
and the communication with the army in the
field has been perfectly free since the re
duction of H. lstalrich. The scarcity ot
provisions which was for some time very
severely felt, has of course ceased. In the
beginning of the present mouth, a number
of vessels from the south of France arrived
■safe with a large supply of artillery, provi
sions and military stores.
Lower Elbe June 19_The report is
renewed, that the English have demanded
of Sweden the fleet l>u g at Carlscrona, as
also the Island of Gothland.
The endeavors to produce a general
peace, and the negotiations for that pur
pose are not given up, as some Journals
have asserted. One of the greatest nb
ai’ncles to peace, it is understood, is, that
E gland interests herself for certain prince
houses connected with her by the bands
•1 affi ity ; and so long as an iudemnifica
tiou is not provided for these houses, i lie re
♦ .n be no actual accommodation, much less
an effectual and stable peace.
London, June ~5 —Parliament has been
at length prorogued; and it cannot be deni,
ed. that a more busy session has seldom pas
sed-one in which so much has been at.
tempted ; and to confess the truth if not
done, at least commenced. The ground
work is laid for many future measures of
great importance; and the first difficulty,
that of breakii g open a rough and iron sur
face, is conquered. In every thing which
requites sacrifices-which is opposed by
ancient prejudice and present interest, it
is always half the work to have surmount ,
ed the first obstacle—to have brought your
adversaiy to confess, that you nave some
reason on your side, and that something
ought to be done. This considera.ion
therefore, reconciles us to the failure of
some important intendments proposed in e
very part of our political system. The next
sessions will not have to plead that they
are taken by surprise. They will have a
good interval to consider the business before
them ; and in concerns of magnitude, which
require counsel'rather than action, what
is ilone slowly, is generally done wisely.
The king’s speech is one of those pieces
of nothingness which usually conclude and
Commence the sessions, and in which the
.minister, through the fiction of the royal
person, congratulates himself on the wis
dom of all Ins councils and the success of
all his plans. With respect to the present
speech, as it was necessary that something
should be 9aid, we do not see how it was
possible to say less. It is tolerable. howe„
ver, because it is brief; and therefore if
the meaning be worth little, it is soon caught.
T. lie prohibition of the export of corn from
Fi ance, is further confirmed by letters re
ceived from thence. This is not, as we had
at first reason to believe, a measure adopt
ed from a spirit of hostility to this couutry,
but one arising out of absolute necessity.-!
France, it appears, 19 not so plentifully sup
plied with grain as to be able to afford the
immense exportation of that article she has
lately been in the habit of making_Her
stock is said to be barely sufficient for her
own consumption The prohibition is not
solely restricted in exports to iliis country,
but extends to Holland, and all places north
of the Rhine and Meuse.
It is stated under date of Vienna, May
16, that “immense quantities” of sugar,
.coffee, See. are accumulating at a Russian
port, called Pertvezow, which arrives there
through the Black Sea, touching at Odes

j„ne ^o.-some ot the troops intended
for Spain are said to have received another
destination. They are ordered to the coast
of Brittany, where, according to rumor, a
large foice is to he collected. There is a
great affectation of mystery with respect o
the ultimate destination of this army, but
enough is suffered to transpire, to indicate
a project of invasion of some kind.
By letters from Malta, dated 7 days sub
sequent to Brigadier General Oswald’s dis„
patches, we learn that there was great
danger of our troops being obligr d to aban
don their new possessions so g dlantly ac
quired in the Adriatic seas; as our whole
force amounted only to 10,000 effective men
against which the enemy were tHf*l pro
deeding from Naples wiih an army of 40,000
June 27.——It is confidently rumored in
the circles connected with government,
that ministers have resolved immediately
to withdraw the British army from Portu
fal. Whether this resolution has been a
opted in consequence of the increase of the
French army being such as to leave iis little
hope of ultimate success from a proiongati
cn of the struggle, or from what other mo
tive, wt know not, but we have reason to be
Jieve ihe present determination of Ministers
to be as we have stated.
We have this morning received an influx
ot con mental papers. They consist of
French to the 21st, Dutch to the 24>h, and
German to the 20th instant —lne most
important articles they contain is that in
which we are informed, that, by a treaty
of Alliance between France and Austria,
the latter power is bound to furnish a con
rim-ency ot. 150 000 troops, to cooperate
tvuhthe French in the Vast pr>jt*ct* which

The same letters mention, that the expor

Jul\ 2-The master of a neutral vessel
just arrived from Nantz. states that neither
there nor any >> ntr part of the French coast
in that direction, is there any assembte
ment of troops ; and if this information be
correct, it follows of course, that the reports
in the foreign journals «.f the formation of
an army tip:re to menace i he shores of Bri
tain, is a nitre stratagem of the enemy to
excite alarm among us. and prevent any fur
