LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, Avatnr 10.

Mr. PEGLII a, the Mereenger, arrived at sit o'clock
yesterday morning, with dispatches from the Earl
of LAUDIRDALe, at Paris.—He must have left that
city before Mr. BASILICO had returned to f. About
one o'clock the dispatches were submitted to a
Privy Council, and a Messenger was sent cIF with
the contents to His MAJasry at Windsor. The
telegraph was busily at work communicating orders
to Woolwich, Deal. Portsmouth. and Plymouth.
The funds experienced a small rise ; but, we believe,
it was not warranted by the contents .of the dis.
patches. The telegraphic communications are stsp,
posed to have been for the purpose of expediting,
and not of slackening military movements and pre-
parations. The pew revolutionary schemes upon
the Continent, announced by 800 AAAAA r., will not

permit even the most sanguine to indulge a hope
for a Peace, such as this country would or could
accept. The report was repeated, last evening, with
increased cottlidence. that the Earl of La ttna..
Dat.s may be daily expeaed from Paris.

The whole of the Jamaica meet is hourly ex-
petted. We mentioned yesterday the arrival of one
ship the flora, of Bristol. The Lay Coate, another
of the saw fleet, arrived on Saturday morning, at
Greenock. She parted on the 2d off the South-
end of the Grand Bank of Newfoundlan J. They
had fine weather through the Gulph of Florida.
and were all well on the 2d.

We lately cap d a belief, founded upon the
course to the West, which /BIOME lioNAe•rtre's
squadron was last seep steering, that he was going
to the Havamsah, to join the two Spanish ships of
the line, repossa4 to be at that place. A subsequent
rumour has, however, assigned to him another des-
tinatioo..../t is toported, that Spain has surrendered
the Island of Porto Rico to France, and that Ja-
ROW is gone to take possession of it. The har.
hour of St. Juan de Porto Rico, on the North side
of the island, is a very capacious one.—Porto Rico,
besides being a very valuable possession, would be
of great importance to the French, with a view to
any operations against St. Domingo.—We do not
know what degree of credit is due to this report.

The fourth attempt of t.ie Transports with the
l'-oops, which embarked at Ramsgate, to sail from
t- e Downs, has proved successful. They passed
I kifer on Monday morning, and arrived in the even-
ing off Portsmouth. Off St. Helen's, they were
joined by the Captain, Ganges, and KrnX s Fitilier
with the Fie t under convoy, for the Mediterranean
which had been so long waiting fur them at that
place,and proceeded upon their voyage. Preparations
are making at Portsmouth for the embarkation of
more troops, not yet arrived there. The Ist and
93 battalions of the 40th regiment, the 18th re-
giment, and !Ist regiment of infantry, and tome
other troops, :are mentioned in the number; re-
ports are various as to their destination.

We stated on Monday, as the inference deducible
from the various accounts in the Papers brought by
the last Hamburgh Mail, that the reports of the
march of the French armies from the Rhine into
Germany, having been countermanded, in conse-
quence of the Russian treaty signed at Paris, were
not intitled to credit, and that these military
movemeats had for their object to overawe Aus-
tria, Russia and Prussia, in order to enable him
to effect the demolition of the German Empire,
at his pleasure, and found upon its ruins his
new system of " the Confederacy of the Rhine."
We have since received Hamburgh and Pat is
Papers to the 10th, and Dutch to the 14th instant,
which fully confirm our observations. French
troops, in great numbers, are advancing to the
fan, upon one sLle, and the frontiers of Saxony

and Westphalia on the other; and, it is distinctly
stated in an article from Frankfort, of the .sth, that
" nothing but the ratification of the Treaty
with
Russia, and the consent of Austria, whichesis
to have no share in the Confederation of the
Princes of the Rhine, to the annihilation of
the Germanic Consetution, can possibly pre-
vent a war upon the Continent." Whether bath,
or either of these important events will take
place, will be brought to a decision in the court
of a very few days. The Russian ratification is
etpelted at Paris by the end of the month, and
the new Diet is to assemble at Frankfort early in
September. Unless the mind of the Emperor
ALEXANDIR has undergone a complete revolution,
unless he has renounced for ever that course of
glory, in which we have lately seen him shine with
so Much lustre, unless this star of the North has
empty left its orb and shot its fire, it is impossible
that Russia can tamely look on, and see the centre
and South of Europe disorganiaad and ledtteed into
the vassalage of France.
After the surrender of Ulm, BONAPASXII gave
the captured Generals to understand, that the
Austrian Ministry must, in future, be formed to his
pleasures anA ikon 110 i?fluenp ought to pre-
vail ii bar ecluncils. He is now proceeding to
realise this threat, and has began by laying his
band upon the liberty oi the press. 'Hie circu-
lation of son,* German pamphlets, in Suabia and
IV/aria, hat afforded a pretence for clamour
agalcsi this hated foe of is despots. They are
denobsinared lath in the small Paris Papers, in
which they are made the subject of SOISO seri-
ous observations tsi on the conduCt of Austria
The tendency of these writings was to excite the
inhabitants of Suobia against the Frt..eah armies
and it is suggested, " that the Ministers who (tired
that Cabinet, and who continue the enemies of their
toentry, will finish by drawing on its ruin."
Prussia, at length, begins to shew symptoms of
alarm, at the revolutionitry progress of the French
in Germany. But her tardy policy will not avail
her. She has lost the " glori ins golden oppot.
tunity," of delivering Europe from anarchy and
oppression.
A report was current m Hanshurgh on the Bth
instant, that the French had entered Saxony. It
WAS considered as premature, but by no means im-
probable.
Yesterilay morning His M ay, esest, the Duke of
