and conveyed to Spendad ; and having also got
possession of his papers, lie found among them the
original of the following letter. We thick it ought
to be made public, as an instance of the causes of
the rise and hill of Stutes. This letter clearly dis-
plays the dispositions of the Prussian Ministers,
and particularly those of the Minister Stein, 'mho
his long held that office, and who still seems to be
exclusively charged with the conduct of public af-
fairs. We cannot but pity the King of Prussia
for having in his servi:!e such aukward, but mis-
chievously inclined Ministers.

Yesterday a considerable detachment of the
grenadiers of the Imperial Life-Guards set off for
Strasburgh : two hundred hackney coaches were
pressed to convey them as for as Clair, which
is four leagues from this city, where tile neces-
sary vehicles were in readiness to transport them
farther. The troops on their march for Spain
are forwarded on their route in waggons, each dis-

certain number of carriages and horses.
A journey which it is supposed His Majesty will
shortly undertake, is the subject of much conversa-

It is reported dist General St. Cyr goes to take
the command of a corps of the army in Spain.
General Vandamme will succeed him in the com-

Between the 10th and lJth, 7000 infantry will

The following intelligence its been received
from Schims, in Persia, under data of the eoth
June The English have made some new at-
tempts to get out of their emissaries admitted into

Persia ; but Path-Ali-Saab has determined to
hold no cominsinieation with them, and has given
orders to all his Commanders to admit no ageut
longing to that nation, nor even to grant a passage.
through their jurisdictions to any couriers whoM
the English might be disposed to send to The-
lieram The English supported their application
with threats. They had Is vessels in the Persian
(;uhf, and were prepaiiie4 to disembark. On the
first intelligence of this attempt, Fatli-Ali-Schah
ordered übody of tioups to he assembled at Shin's,
and to proceed to the part of the roast tt licit was
threatened. This corps was put under the com-
mand of Ismael Bey, an ()Meer of distinction, who
served with reputation on the frontiers of Georgia.
The English, after threatening various points, at
last attempted a landing near Bender-Boueliehr ;
hut the Persian troops having made a rapid march
thither, compelled them to re-miihark."

State to His Catholic Majtsty, and Knight Grand
Cross of the Order of Charles 111.; who, after hav-

the following articles :

Ad. 1. Ilia Royal Moons the Prince of Asturies ac-
cedes to t►e cession made by King Charles of his rights
to the throne of Spain and the Indies, in fawner of His Ma-
jesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, and re-

We understand that the American schootat

We have received Dutch Papers to the 17th, an

can be put upon them, even in France,

their great inheritance for a mess of pottage. 'f
King of Stater, we find, is to have fur his sitar

Palace of Navarre, and its appendages and apply'

to be paid, upon which they may rot and repeat at

s;o: hoarly expected to take his departure from that
itite..l His &addition was not known, but the
stuo,„„e, Papers encouniged An opinion, that
the danger of war with Austria was blew n over, and
iheece it might be inferred that he eat going to
Spain. The Dutch and French Papers have a
contrary tendeder. The Imperial ,guards have
1:211 Paris for the Ithine,and as they-hure been hi-
therto ihe ottomans of Bomaeudai, it is sup-
posed that he bas determined aped a war with Aus-
tin, and is going to head the army dartined to• act
against her. It is said, that he is to have an inter-'
view with the Emperor ALEXANDLEI, at AVeitnar.
Marshal LANNES, it seems, is to have the com-
mand in chief of the army in gpain.

We yesterday inserted a translation of the armis-
tice signed by Sir ARTHUR WEL Ll:art:Yr on the
last.—lt was published in French in _The
Extraordinary puttee, on Friday night, and, as we
stated yesterday, was accidentally omitted in our
paper of Saturday-, The Gn;ette not having reacLe I
us until a very late hour. This el:nibs:au is made
the suliject of a leading article in The 31orniv,
Chronicle of yesterday, in which it is directly and
positively cha'rged us has Mg Leen made on purpose
" from tenderness to Sir ARTHUR WRELESLET,"
accompanied with a hint of our duty to our Sub-
seribers. The charge of The Morning Chronicle
is falss, and for evidence of its palpable falsehood,
we 'night refer to the uniform character and you-
duct of Tee Barrisit Pity.ss, and particularly to
its conduct with regard to Sir ARTHUR AYELLES-
LET—upon whom we feur that, instead of tieing
gu Ity cf 'partiality towards that gallant Officer, our
reader! may think we have pressed ton hard;whilc, up
to Friday last, Tile Morning C'hroniele condescended
to copy all the fulsome pads in his praise that ap-
peared in the Ministerial Prints, to the disgrace of a
free tad independent press. The cause of this incon-
sisteuey in The Morning Chronicle, and the desertion
of Sir ARTHUR WELI.ESLEY, we caunot divine. Sir
Animus Wbi.J.Est.er, abstractedly, is perhaps a fa-
vourite. The Wv.l.csi.b.vs are recently arrived
from lu.lia Arc we then to suppose, that Sir NEW
D 4 LIT:ME has obtained a weightier influence in
The Mensisig Chronicle, and that Sir ititroult is to
be bac:Merit to is preponderating power ? Rut to
come to the hint of our duty to our seibscribers :
During tive last Session of Parliament, The Morn-
ing Chronicle presented nothing but so uniform
mica of ounvvions, of the most important nature.—.
In its Parliamentary reports, the speeches of all the
leading Members of Parliament were either luiire-
preiftWordei.surbied, we totally oweitted. upon the
Orders of Council, and other great points of public
interest, while they were faithfully reported in Tr.e
Byrom PRESS. These omissions were base. be-
cause they were wilful ;—t reachefoipk. Ift•CRUSt
uuez-
pected ;—and they were most ungrateful, because to
the party injured by those oinissious, the Proprie-
tor of The Chronicle owes all of health and worldly
means diet he possesses. nit these uniform,
base anti ungrateful instances of neglect of
duty to its subscribers we never attacked. We felt
not the little passions and malignant interests of a
selfish rival, and left The Chronicle to the fate
which public justice would inflict, without any call
from us. Upon the Catholic Question, and two
or three others of national importance, The Morn-
ing C'hroniele was also, or affected to be, our friend
and supporter, Red with such a mass of barefaced
venality and prostitution before us, as the avowedly
Ministerial Prints present, untouched aid
no-
swanlidl it was not to be etcpected that we should
fall foul of an ally, though ever so lukewarm,
hollow, and uncertain.

The public iiiilignatiort the anthora of the late
disgraceful Convention, fir from bring diminished
by time, seems to gain force. The interval that
bas elapsed, since Friday last, only confirms anal
strengthens the sentiments originally entertained on
the subject. That Sir ARTRPR WELLEsLET is
implicated in *the condemnation affixed to Sir
Hew DALRYMPLL's conduct, is, after all, of little
nioinent. But it is a matter of the first import-
ance to know whether. as is now strongly sus-
pcct.d, the Administration have been in possession
of the intelligence fur a fortnight, veer since the
first dispatch of the suil August ? If, knowing, or
baring reason to believe, that such a Convention
was signed; they did not, without a moment's loss
of time, send out orders to disown it, they are
themselves partakers in the culpability of Sir FIRM
DALRYMPLE. %Ye presume, that Ministers will be
eager and anxious to justify themselves from such
an imputation. Should they not, it is impossible
to doubt, that, whenever Parliament meets, it oill
become an object of inquiry, or of accusation.—
The more we consider this ignominious act in all
its bearings, as affecting our allies, our enemies,
and our own honour, military as well as national,
the more dots it call for our reprobation.-w.
It is the peculiar character of this transaction to
Present, in wbatcrer light it is viewed, nothing but
disaster and dkgrace. 'Whether considered in its
Present or its remote consequences, in relation to
trance and England, directly or indirectly, affect-
= their respective allies, we find, in every pert,

oasething to irritate our feiliw,•v. tre wound our'l
pride, and impair our interests. flow pond atid
gtutif)ing a distinction is it to the Cfin,icao En)-
parer. while his cian beaten arnie is restored to him,
to extend his protection to the shattered and tem-
pest-heaten fleet of his Nluseovite ! Such au
act mast, we doubt not, cement more than eve: the
political ties that already connect the Cabinets of
Petersburgh and of St. Cloud. The obligation of
ALEgasePia to his worthy Imperial ally is indeed
by no means slight, and- can hardly be overrated.
Nine *hips of the line, and oue frigate, the whole
of which only entered the Tagus, in order to avoid
the perils of navigating the Bay of Biscay, and
*hid?' could not have ventured to pass up the Bri-
tish Channel, on aesiouak of the certainty of twin
captured, se are" to be held in deposit by His
MASZ,ITY,- till six mouths after a definitive Treaty
of Peace with Resole, and to be theta restored.--
Who would not, oa perusing such an agrrentem,
conceive that we acre the allies, instead of the ene-
mies of the CZAR Could we have done hisn u
greater scrice, than thus to retain, and, final!), to
restore to him a fleet, of which it was impossitals:
for him otherwise to regain the po*weition ? To.
Russia they were for aver lost already. In order
to render the heneat complete, it only rent:Aim:if
" to *cud the Russian officera and seamen of the
fleet immediately to Russia, without conditions."
This stipulation is annexed. With reason a ill 130.•
NAPARTI; assert, that it is intentionally done hy the
treacherous ally of GUSTAYUM ADOLPIII3A, in order
to punish that Prime fur his treatment of our Ge-
neral, Sir JOHN Mount:. lis truth it tics some re-
semblance to such in, intention.

It is not one of the least mliontages to be de-
rived from the late action in the lialtte, that it map
prevent afly such IttalaVOU.siiiile impression upon the
mind of (z....tVarAlrOS ADOLPHUS. When lie looks
to the brilliant result of the action of Port Baltic,
he will not despise British its,i,tance. The noble
and generons spirit that breaths in the letters of Sir
SAMUEL Ileosi Islay serve to preserve his esteem.
That spirit; we rejoice to find, is kindred to his
own. Its his letter, •in which lie so hand.oinely de-
clines to accept the Russian colour...Ole s.ays,

Captain DAtr.VMPLE left town, on Saturday
night, with dirt,: tches for Sir Hew DALILYMPLE.
We pity him—fie carries the reproaches of a 0 hole
nation to his tither.

Extract of a lettor from the camp near Lisbon,
the day of the Capitulation :--" it is impossible
for yin, to eoneeiye the poignant sensations felt by
every British individual tu the army,on knowing the
terms ; the murmur was universal and loud, and
nothing but tile characteristic subordination of
British soldiers prevented a in—; it sent a dag-
ger to every heart. If ever it were lawful for infe-
riors to arrest superior officers, here it would hare
been praise-worthy, and have prevented that heart-
piercing degradation to which this Capitulation
has reduced us. We do desire that the Capitula-
tion they be broken, slid that JutroT, and his army,
and that the Russian fleet, may be reinstated exactly
as they, were, mil that a common Corporal may be
giveu us as a commander—the rest leave to the
army. The insolence or the French is insufferable.
they say--. You dam Inglis, you no victory—we
beat you—you snlunit to our term—we dictate all
—we take alt—you pay de expense to send us to
France—s.wa go light de Spaniard—de Russians
fight you and de Swede—we be master de vurlde.'
1 leave you, from this short specimen, to suppose
our Immiliatioo."

A most atrocious act of barbarity was practised
sear Swindon, Wilts, on Friday last.—Same re-
cruits, on the march from Ireland to the Isle of
Wight, attacked the post-boy going from Swindon
to slarlborough, without the least provocation.
They commenced by heating his horse with their
sticks, and then fell on the boy. One held his
horse, while others attacked the boy about the
head, shoulders, and loins, and did not desist until
they Mid knocked him off his horse, and left him
almost lifeless. Some persons passing some time
after, found him in that state, and took him back
to Swindon. One of the Magistrates immediately
went to Marlborough, and had the men exantiued ;
when the Serjeant, who accompanied the recruits,
stated, that the men had been guilty of similar
violence at several places; and it is reported, that,
in the neighbourhood of Worcester, they had w-
tually killed a tradesman, who was travelling
I, that
and had threatened to serve him, the
ca
nt, in the same way. The poor post.boy is
so i I, that little hopes are entertained of his reco-
very. The men are all now in custody, and we
trust that si4nal vengeance will be taken on such
barbarous miscreants.
