No blow has yet been struck ; and it should seem as if
some correspondence had been entered into betw..ett ONA-
P ARTE and the Emperor ALEXANDER. The CoO de

PA RT I.:, with a letter to the Emperor, and returned with an
answer the beginning of this month. Since which, an
article from B‘nlin announce,, that the Archbishop of
NlEctatAN has been named to an Embassy of gie.it im-
portance.
Private Letters state, that the French advanced guard is
at Pillau. The French army d..es not exceed ttcomtu men,
and that of the Russians upward. of 800,000.
It was expected they would cross the frontiers into Prussia
on the first week of this month. An overture of a i•zcific
nature had been made by BuoNA PARTE to the '...:mperor
ALEXANDER, which had been rejected.

oexpedition.

PARTE weu'd render the preservation of peace with France
impracticable, though Russia would not he the first to corn-
'tepee hostilities. No former exigency had called forth, in
an equal degree, the military resources of Russia; nor bad
she ever sent into the field so numelous, and so well ap-
pointed an army. It was thought that peace with the Porte
would not be long delayed. Jealousies and disagreements,

arrived from Warsaw, assures us, that in the country through which
he passed, all the houses were without thatching, and that it is Mi.
possible to form any idea of the misery of the poor inhabitants. 1,,
runty houses large holes were dug in the ground, for the childieic,
protection against bad weather, and to pass the nights. A travail,
who left Frankfort otrthoOder, twelve days ago, states that the public
road.; were every where cover .4 with dead horses, and that a grout
number of the inhabitants had•left their homes, to avoid the iN
(new th y received from the foreign troops, the latter having red.
ously robbed them of all the little provi,ion they had yet left."
Atiiicliguland mail
.arrived on Friday with adviees from
,
that Is!and t the 20th instant. All communication etwee
that place and the Continent remained completely cut uff,
Of course the mail has brought no intelligence of iinpor-

tance.
Two foteign noblemen of distinction landed on Friday at
Harwich, from the Lord Nelson packet, which brought over
the last mail from Anholt. It is supposed that they are
charged with an important mission to our Government from
the Court of Rctersburgh.
The Madrid Gazette of the Bth of May, contains an Ad-
dress delivered to JOSEPH by the Corregidor of Madrid, 3t
the head of the Municipality, in which he states the cviis
that afflict the people of that city—" That the hosritati,
poor-houses, houses .of correction, and similar estailio•
ments, contain no fewer than 8000 individuals, who receive
their daily aliment through the hands of the Municipality.
This excessive number, however, constitutes but a small
fraction compared ,with those who languish and soffer,in
private houses, in streets, and in chambers, which resound
with their doleful clamours, and which menace the
dreadful political concussions. while a numerous army con-
sumes all the scanty produce of an exhausted country." The
Address concludes by praying that the Cortes of the King-
dom may be convoked. JOSEPH, in his answer, admits that
such a measure is proper, but postpones it till his entrance
into the Andalusias, a design, the execution of which is still
prevented. He also tells them that "the independence, tht
integrity of Spain, even its very political existence, abso-
lutely depend on its alliance with France. .
The most recent intelligence from the coast of Francs,
continues to mention diAto trances throughout that country,
on atccount of the dearness and scarcity of bread-
Brittany, it is stated, that it had risen firm four to fifteen
sous per potTnd. Farmers were afraid to...brieg corn to
mat ket. A snob had destroyed what was brought to .Mor
laix on the sth instant. They were quelled by the mi;itary.
A private communication from Paris states,- that intelli-
gence had been received theremf the death of Lotus Buos
PARTS, the late King of Holland; who, we believe, wac
very worthy, unaffending man. tie is said to have died at
Gratz, in Silesia, about the middle of June; and to :Faye
bequeathed to that town the little property of which he (bed
poscessed, in return for the friendly reception with wbieb
he bad been there honoured. We know not whellier
event . may lie publicly known at Paris ; but we cannot
omit the opportunity of mentioning, that no French
journal
has, we believe, noticed to this day, the.tlight of I.xcir!;
111:43N AP ARTr. to England—so freely does the great illumi-
nator of mankind stiffer intelkence to be circulated in 1"

doininiGns.
All the letters which we have seen from Lisbon describe
the Army in the Peninsula to he in a more healthy state than
ever it has been, the greatest part of the wounded having
recovered and joined. The general expectation was, that
Lord WEL L ING TON would soon start anew; as he
was only
waiting to get hi* cavalry into order.
