THE BRITISH PRESS,

A letter we have received from an intelligent
fried at Lisbon, mentions, that s rumour has been
received there, from Cadiz, of the Carthagena and
Foolon Squadrons having efre:leil a junainn. Their
united force is stated to be I l• sail of the line ; and
it is cnaje.flured, that the Combined Fleets, rein.
limed by some of the ships that were fitting oat at
Cadiz, will come out and attempt to join them.

Two of the Leeward Island fleet have Ariivel
The rest are hourly expeCted.

Mr. GARLIKC, our Minister to the Court of
Denmark, arrived on Tuesday, at Yarmouth, in one
of the pickets %%1;01 brought the Hamburgh Mail.

The Comm inders of some of the regiments which
lately received orders to hold themselves in readi-
ness to march, hav:.. granted furloughs to their men,
and Lave of ahsence to their Officers for some time.
It is thence concluded, that the Secret Exredition
will not sail so soon as it was expcaed ; or that it
will not he upon so large a scale as a•as originally
intended.

The trnburgh Mail, due on Sunday, arrived I
yesterday with letters and papers to the 18th. We
have received private letters from that city, of that
date, and three Gottenburgh Mails have also at-
rived. Their contents are of great importance,
They state, that the Austrian army, w:.ich WAS as-,
sen,blcd in great farce upon the Inn, has passed THAT
RIV ER and ENTERED BAVARIA; and that M. Or ro,
the French Minister, at Munich, has, in consequence,
set off for Paris. This intelligence is given under I.
the head of Ilatisbon, the 12,h inst. sshere it is
stated to have been received by an extraordinary
Courier. A letter from Stutgardt, of the tilst of
August, also announces, that a Nate had been pre-
sented, on the preceeding day, by the French Mi-
nister at that Court, to the Dake of Wt ITEN, 3
LA which Bin:am-re demands an explanation of
the Duke's sentiments, and threatens, it they be um.
favourable to France, to take immediate possession
of that EleCtorate. A similar Note was delivered,
about the same tim-, to the Eleaor of BADEN.
These two instances may be considered as specim-ns
of the bullying system which BONA, Aim., has prac-
tised towards all the other petty Princes nf Ger-
many. The £l for of BA • ant A, one of the most
considerable, has, no doubt, declared himself in fa-
vour of France; and the Austrian troops have
been then: e induced to enter that tie:tea-ate.
Tne following is now said to be the arrange-
ment of the Staff of the Austrian arm es
:
'l'he Eursana, in person, assisted by General
Macs, will command the centre of the Army of
Germany ; the Archduke FERDINAND, the right;
:Ind Prince CHARLES of SCHWA RZENEERO, the
left. The Archduke CHARLES will command the
centre of the Army of Italy ; the Archduke JOHN
the right; and Prince JOHN of LICHTENSTEIN,
the lett. General BELL LOARDE is to command in
the Tyrol.
All the accounts by the Gottenborgh Mtil, and
the private letters from fiamburgh, encourage an
expettation, that Hanover will be evacuated by the
French troops, and the freedom of the navigation
of the Elbe be speedily restored. The Russian
Minister at Stralsund has notified the intention of
the Estrettos to land some troops at that place, cad
the Swedish army is all in motion, with its brave
and genemus King at its head. The approach of
these forces to the Elbe, will - acessarily oblige the
French to retire ; and it was accordingly report-
ed, that the French Minister had proposed to
the Senate of Hamburgh, to evacuate Cuxhaven,
for a sumof money. kis probable, that the senate,
seeing the French Minister would make a virtue
of necessity, would refuse this proposition.—The
arrival of the Russian troops in Gallicia, is eon-
firmed by a letter of the 2d of September, which
states that the van division had passed the Russian
frontiers, so far back as the 22,1 of August.
A serious riot broke out at Madrid, on the 2.lth

last. a circumstance that confirms the reports of the
discontented state of that capital.
The I lamburgh Papers also announce a vague
rumour of the landing of Russian troops in the
Kingdom of Naples.
