" Majesty's ship Vanguard is salami up to Spithead,
and a Convoy, supposed from Jamaica, Vas passed the Lie of
Wight."

" Admiralty-Office, Fie•Miautes past Pour.

His Majesty's ship Vanguard; haying slrrung a leak, left
her Colllfol order pr 001,51011 of the IllUd,lollS (fretio the Lee
ward Islands); and the united Convoys joined A/lairs' Corn-
wallis en the 11th inst."

The above articles of intelligence, being decisive
of the safe arrival of the Jamaica and Leeward
Island Fleets, are of great importance. Seventy-
four days had elapsed since the Leewarl Island
Fleet sailed. Oily a few stragglers had arrived, and
considerable apprehensions were entertained, that the
Rochfort squadron had fallen in with the main-body
of it.

We have received several sets of Foreign Papers,
but none of a more recent date than those, the con-
tents of which we gave yesterday. We have ex-
traded from one of them. a State Paper, of much
importance. It is a Memorial presented on the
part of France to the several Continental Powers,
immediately after the incorporation of Genoa with
the French Empire. It states. that the situa-
tion of Genoa, already united, as it were, to France,
must be a matter of indifference to the other States
of Europe, and would not augment the Continental
strength of France ; that its actual incorporation
was desirable in a maritime point of view, as. by
extending the coast of France, and giving 6,000
seamen to her fleet, it would aid her efforts to de-
stroy the naval superiority of England ; that Ge-
noa was too weak to stand alone, and that she had
no chance of recovering her ancient splendour, in
consequence of the ereaion of new mat itime states,
and the aggrandizement of other commercial
powers i■ her vicinity. These arguments, which
are amply detailed in this Memori.il, have been
since briefly repeated in official documents. alteady
before the public. But the most interesting feature
of the article. and that which gives it a peculiar cha-
raaer, is its anticipating of the present crisis of the
Cootiaent. It avows; confident persuasion, that the
o incorporation of Genoa will be soon placed in a
false light by the pauegyt ists of the English Govern-
ment;" and it adds, " Should England succeed in
creating discord upon this subject. no alternative
will be left His lld P eel A Majnrr, but to prose-
cute with vigour the unjust war that will be de-
clared against him " We know from the diplo-
matic Papers already published, that every previous
aggression and encroachment of DON • A lIT IC, have
been the subject of remonstrance on the part of
Austria and Russia, and this Memorial furnishes
the most irrefragable evidence. that, by the in-
corporation of Genoa, he knew he should ex-
haiht the patience of these two posers, and force
thion to extremities. He is, therefore, guilty of a
palpable falsehood, when he asserts, that*, Pre-
sent war fame upon him unexpeaedly, at the very
