LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. MAY 4.

We have received Dutch papers to the 47th
last, containing Paris news to the *3d. The
latest intelligence previously received front that
capital was of the 16th. Coles. paragraphs are
put into the papers fur the ..:xi,rr%s purpose of mis-
leading the piddle, we may safely assert, that the
lluchfort sqnadron is in the Mediterranean. A letter
from Marscides, dated the 1 Ith last, states, that the
squadron under Admiral GANTHCAVINE had ar-
rived at Toulon oil the preceding day, after having
released the Seven Islands from the blockade of.
the English, unit freed the navigation of the Adri-
atic sea. This squadron is said to consist of 10 sail
of the line, five frigates, and several brigs. An ar-
ticle from Venice states, that it consist:Nl of the
united squadrons. from Rochfort and Toulon ; that
it reached the road of Corfu on the ?sth of Fe-
bruary, and that the British force withdrew at its
approach. We do not kumw.thc exact force of the
British squadron at Corfu ; but if this statement
be correct, it probably did not exceed 3 er 4 ships ;
the junction, however, of the Tonlon and Rochefort
squadrons, and their subsequent operations, have
been communicated through so many.channels, we
know not upon what principle we can with-
hold our assent, unless a systematic plan has
been adopted to mislead us. By accounts from
Vienna, of the 30th March, it appears that
Austria begins to assume an imposing attitude
on the side of Turkey. The cordon of troops
wLich she has drawn upon the troutiers of that cona-
try extends from Turkish Croatia along tiic Saave
and the Danube to l'rasisylvausa. and thence to
the froutiers of Gallicia. The Comiliawl-iu-thief
is given to Field Marshal BELLA:GARDE. the se-
cond to General Dax.t. and the chief of the Etat-
Major-General to General SLTTERSIII.I!.I.

The American ship, the Osage, is :It length ar-
rived from L'Orient, with Mr. Louts, charged
with dispatches for Mr. PINCKNEY, the Amerivtin
Minister. We stated, log since, our apii-e!iel-
sion, that the Osage, having been spoken on her
paatage to France by nn English cruiser, would
bedet ss i ss et! under the new fantastical decrees of the
French Government. This has proved to be the
fact. It was with difficulty ihat General Aam-
memo, the American Minister in France, obtain-
ed permission for the Osage to priiceed to England.
As soon as we heard that BONAPARTE had set out
with his confidential Ministers, for Spain, it was na-
tural to conclude, that he had given the Freuch
Envoy his Uftireaffne, and that is understood to be
unfavourable to Americo.. Mr. JRTFLRION never
thought fit to diseh;se what the French demands
were, and from this secret!), it has been inferred,

that they were extravagant. According to pnb.
lic rumour, he required that America must
join in the league agaissat England, adding,
that he would allow no neutrals. To effect 4
modification or this demand was one of the objects
of The American mission to France, and that tie
under tend has been peremptorily refused. Mt.
Locks was accompanied by Mr. Nouns and Mr.
Moat:ars, the latter of whom made his escape pri.
rattly from France. Mr. Louts was detained
four ilnys befisre he was allowed to set out for the
French capital. If, after the late treatment of the
flogs of Truce, et Calais add Morlaix, any prnu
were necessary to show the extreme rigour with
which BONAPARTCS Decrees are executed, the
conduct of the French Government towards the
Osage would be sufficient.

We stattd, on the ankh ultimo, that it veral
vessels were on their passage Ana; Portugal for
England, with emigrants for the Brazils, sod that
the uurnhcr of Portuguese waiting only an appor-
Annity to proceed to the same destination, was esti-
-mated at 200,000. liy one of these weasels, arrived
at Plymouth, full of passengers, we learn that iiittl-
ligence had reached our squadroa off Limbos, of
the arrival of the ROYAL FaultAr of PORTUGAL at
Rio Janeiro, on the 6th of January. The Patera
REGENT had eutered upon the exercise of his
functions, as Sovereign, and bad formed an Ad-
ministration which was .imirtfred by the people.

A vessel, which nrrived at Plymouth with in-
telligence, which she received from our sciisilrPo
off Lisbon, sailed. from Oporto on the 48th of
March. At that date emigration from that coon-
wus become so serious, that the most rigorous
measures hail been adopted to pat a stop to it.
Any person detected keying the country was sub-
ject to be punishLd with death, and his ploparty
confiscated.

A letter from Ramsgate, dated May 9. sap.
" The remainder of the troops, infantry and horse,
sailed for the Down* yesterday and to-day. There
sire very few transports now in the harbour, end we
do not hear at present falsity more regiments bring
ordered to Ramsgate—it may therefore be con-
cluded. the embarkation there is completed.—
Great dispatch has been used, and every atten-
tion paid to the comfort. of Use trneps cualraiked

purpose, not a single accident has happened to
either man or horse during the whole time. The
men when they left this harbour yesterday cheered
