74 Never were the Englidh Ministry more active
than at the present moment, in making a %candid-
*us use of false rumours cud rebellious solicita-
tidies', tending to involve die nations in dedtric-
Hon.

"The English Ministers lone rlidivered speeches,
and lately made King George deliver a speech.
Which are worthy of the Clubs of 179.1. To ill,
shame of availing themselves of such means, they
add that of derivmg no advantage from them ;
few their/may, the crimes, and the punishment of a
few miserable wretches, who listen to their per-
Idiom suggestions, are to be regarded as ea adsan-
tair." . .

A consideralde number of troops are expectevl
to marsh through this city in the course of the
present month. Eight thonsund Poles are passing
through ftom the army in the North of Europe for
France; and 12,0u0 conscripts are marching in
this direction from that country, to join the Preach
tiny in Germany.
In the course of the ensuing month, a body of
French mops will form a camp of exercise in the
vicinity of Hockheint.

Amiss the troops of the neighbouring Princes
of the League of the Rhine, various movements
are observed. the ultimate object of which is
hitherto, unknown. We particularly allude to the
troops of Bavaria, 14'irtemberg, and Baden.

Sta—l have the honour and satisfaction to inform
you, that by an immediate and zealous pursiit of
the measures recommended in the duplicate of in-
structions received by the Mosquito on the stli
instant, Lis Excellency the Marquis de la Romano,
and nearly six thousand of the Spanish troops un-
der his command, were embarked this mortitag
at !Vyborg, which place hi took possession of an
the 9th.

By a combination of the same plan, more than
one thousand have joined us this morning, by sea.
from Jutland, and another thousand ere thrown into
Langeland, to strengthen the post held by the Spa.
nish forces iu that island, where it is proposed to
land the reinaluder the moment circumstances of
weather will permit of our :amnia. The-arrival of
the Spanish dtficer in the ?Agar, nn the 3th, of
whine spirited escape to the squadron you were in-
formed by Captain Graves, greatly facilitated our
means of communication.

No doubt could he entertained of the honour
and patriotism of soldiers, who, indignant at the
proposal of deserting their allegiance, though sur-
rounded by hostile battalions, planted their colours
in the centre of a circle they formed, and swore on
their knees to be faithi.l to their country. All
were equally anxious of returning to it. • But our
Regiment in Jutland was too distant, and too criti-
cally .it rated to erect its escape : and two in Zea-
Isud, after having fired on the French General Fri-
!inn, i 100 commanded them. and killed ore of his
.li/I.de-tamps, have been disarmed.

Some untoward circumstances having occasioned
suspicion, and made a premature execution of the
plan necessary, the wind and current being adverse.
I lett the Superb ou the Bth, and went in my barge
to the Brunswick, off Nyher,g, and two &WM after
my Bag wag kraiNted. On the 9th the Geurral took
possew.ion of the town.

Although the Danish garriaon yielded to circum-
stances, an armed brig of eighteen guns, the
Fame, and a cutter, the Sa'Orman, of twelve,
moonlit across the harbour near the town, re-
jected all remorstrance on the part of the Danes,
and every offer of security made by the General
and myself. The reduction of these vessels being
absolutely necessary, and the Spanish General unwil-
ling to act hostilely against Denmark, such small
vessels and boats as'could be collected were put un-
der the command of Captain M.Nainara, of the
F.el4;,,ar, who attacked and took them. On this oc-
casion I hare to lament the leas of Lieutenant
Harvey, an officer of much merit, of Abe Superb,
and two seamen wounded ; the enemy had seven
killed and thirteen wounded.

I it:iosiki limo noticed that the Spaniards, irritated
at the oppo4:tion their friends who Caine to their
support met with, departed is some measure from
the General's intention, sod fired some shot at them
before they struck.
Expedition king deemed of the greatest

portant*, I shifted my flag to the Hound in the
harbour ; and as neither of the throe ships .of the
hne, from circumstances of the weather, could be
brought near in; fifty-seven sloops or dodgers,
found in •the port,. were fitted by the seamen, into
which great part of the artillery, baggage, and
stores, were embarked that night and the follow-
ing day, and removed to the point of Slypsharn,
four miles from Nyborg, where the army wao em-
barked safely, and without opposition, this morn-
ing, notwithstanding the very unfavourable state
of the weather, and they are now under the pro-
tection of Hi. Majesty's ships. at the anchorage off
the Island of Spree.

Some sacrifices of horses and stores were con-
ceived necessary by the General; and as I con-
sidered it right, under the peculiar circumstances, to
enter into the views and wishes of the Marquis de
la Romano, every unavoidable act of hostility was
rigidly abstained from, for I did not consider it any
to bring away the brig and cutter that rejected our
slier of security, and forcibly opposed our entrance
into the port; and I even undertook to liberute
the reseals employed as transports, pro►ic'ed no in-
terruption was made by any to the peaceable em-
barkation of our friends.

I should be unjust to the meritorious exertions
of the officers and seamen employed on this short
but fatiguing service, if I neglected to represent
their merits no thisoceasion to you ; Capt. Graves's
services were required afloat; Captain 111,Natuaro.
of the Edgar, undertook the equipment of the
transports, with the embarkation of the stores; the
embarkation of the troops was made under the di-
rection of Captain Jackson, of the Superb, and
Captain Lockyer, of the Hound ; Capt. Smith, of
the Devastation, and Captain James, of the Kite,
were indefatigable in their exertions in the various
duties I assigned them. Many circumstances hav-
ing combined to make an attack on the rear proba-
ble, great precaution was necessary.
Such guns as could be brought against us were
'spiked, and the embarkation was covered and mast
effectually-protected by the Minx gun-brig and
the two prises, and by the very• judicious disposi-
tiin of the gun-boats, under the command of Cap-
tain May, of the Royal Artillery, who volunteered,
and whose services ou this and other occasions were
highly useful.
It is not easy to express the jny and satisfaction
felt by every elms of the army at this event ; and
no circainotance, I believe, could have afforded
more real pleasure to us all. One, the regiment of
Zamora, made a march of eighteen Danish miles
in twenty-one hours.

Superb, off Langtland, Aug. 5, too..

Sits—l have the honour to inform you, that I
have received from stsy Government the most positive
Instruction's to .osideavokr to communicate a ith the
Spanish Officers commanding the troops of that
nation in the vicinity of my command, and to con-
cert with them measures 10 secure their retreat from
any place of embarkation which they may possess,
and for placing them in a state of security until
transports for their reception can be provided to
convey them to Spain, for which, as well as the ne-
cessary provisions, measu ere have already Leen taken,
and indeed of the arrival of them I am in hourly
expectation. Until that period shall arrive, they
are welcome to share in the accommodation amid
provisions of the ships under my command, but as
that might not afford ample means at present, al-
though I am in expectation of the Commander in
Chief, I would suggest, under the pressure of cir-
cumstances, the removal of the troops to some of
the islands in the Belt for their perfect security.—
But as a measure of this magnitude to the interests
of the Spanish nation would necessarily require a
concerted plan, lest by attention to partial interests
the general one might suttee, I request an unre-
served and confidential communication, either to the
ships off Nyberg, that stationed off Langeland, or
any of His Britannic Majesty's ships in the Belt.
and through the bearer of this, or by any other
means. I propose sending on Sunday, unless I
should earlier receive some person on bOard, a flag
of truce, under some pretext, to the Spanish post at
Spoysberg, and if this should be safely received. I
wish, in token of it, a small guard might parade in
some compiettons situation at noon to-morrow, near
the English ship at anchor or under sail near
Spoysberg.
In my present situation it is impossible, ardently
as I enter into the views of my Government awl
the Spanish nation, to attempt to lay sl/wri any
axed plan. My services, and those of every Eng-
lishman under my command, are devoted to the
cause; but before measures can be adopted, we
must communicate, agree on, and combine, as far as
it may be possible, the interests of the Spanish
Troops in Jutland and Zealand with those is Innen

taken to effect that important undertaking, upon
the complete success of which we have now to
congratulate the country.—The dispatches, which
are from Admiral KEATS, are dated the.

enthusiasm and detortninatiou struck the French and
Danes, by whom they wereaurrounded, with ,
A free passage was allowed them, and they marched
with their arm., :baggage, and military atoms, to
Nyborg, a seapok on the eastern side of the 14e
of Funett. The Disinsii garrison having yiolded
to circumstances, tile Marquis De LA ROMANA and
his brave folkiners took quiet possession of the
town on the 9th, from whence it was previously
agreed that they should be carried to the Isle of.
Langeland, as a depot and place of safety, until the
whole of the troops were collected, and means pro-
vided to convey them to Spain. Laugeland is
ti narrow stripe, running north and south, close to
Fenea,, and hetweeu it and the Isle of Laaltuid.
Admiral KEATS, in the Superb, with the Edgor,
and the Hotrod sloop, attended off Nyberg, to
aid their departure, but • a Danish brig of le
guns, and a cutter of moored across the hir-
hour, opposed the embarkation of the Spaisiluvls.—
It, therefore, became neeeraitry to reduce these
vessels, and for that purpose, and as the Spanish
General was unwilling to act hostilely against the
Danes, such small vessels is coeld be collected

of the least extraordinary, and, we might almost
say. inexplicable, facts relative to BONAPARTE,
that at a moment of such eniergeacy as the present,
when in Spain his affairs. and those of his brother,
have undo-gene so rapid a change, and seem tend-
ing to complete destruction. he should be appa-
rently wasting the precious hours in a vain exhi-
bition. Nearly three weeks had already elapsed
between his departure from Bayonne and his ar-
rival at Nantes. Such a progress, accompanied
with festivities, illuininations, and testimonies of
loyalty, might hate well become a time of peace
and repose ; but certainly impress us, at this dis-
tance, as completely misplaced. We have, never-
thrifts% been so accustomed to the proofs of pre-
eminent ability, deep design, and admirable fore-
sight, in this Corsican tyrent, that it may be pre-
sumptuous to fort any decisive opinion on his
present line of coudu -A. Yet, how can he be
norant that DI:POW? has surrendered in Andalusia;
that Josephs reign of eleven days is finished.; and
that the Spanish Dynasty of the BOXAPAIIITIA is
already strangled in the birth ? I-low caa he coo.-
