WEDNESDAY, Novistssa Is.

The Lord Elks, arrived in the River. from Ben.
.gel, spoke the Unite. and the Mated., from Ma-
dras, near Sangur Roads ; they parted floes the
Skelton Castle, off the Cape of Good Hope. The
latter is reported to be taken off Acheen Head, by
*he Piednostaire French frigate ; as by letters from
Calcutta, dated March 22, it appears, she had not
urn arriveo there, although she sailed from the
Cape of Good Hope eight days before the Afar-
sent packet.
We yesterday yesterday received Hamburgh Papers to the
33, French to the 4th, and Dutch to the gth inst. ;
and, at a late hour last night, a new set of Paris
papers to the toth. The French Army of Ob.
ovation, under General Jereor, is marching ra-
pidly from Bayonne into Spain. His Headquarters
vete to be, on the 6th instant, at Salamanca, from
whence he is expeßed to proceed to Madrid.—
In tire mean time. a Spanish army is advancing
iota Portugal, to occupy Lisboa. There is to
be a second Army of Observation, of which
General DuroMT will have the commaad. The
French, force. advancing into Spain, will be
very great. Troops are marching horn all parts of
France as join it. An army of such magnitudes
cannot be *emissary to enforce the obedience of
Portugal. Its real demised= and object are ea.
'sloped in mystery. The expedition, we are told,
vas secretly planned at Madrid by the Panics of
Peace and the French Pollinator. Bow • AAAAA proba-
hly means to amuse himself with revolutionising
Spain. it sill be as easy work. A part of the Spanish
Army is in Germany, and a part is in Portugal, wad
the Parsee of the Peace is the tool of France.
Tbe French and Spanish Ambassadors. we find. did
not, in their retreat from Lisbon, withdraw farther
