THE NATIONAL REGISTER

We have pleasure in stating a circumstance,
which, although it cannot be made too public, we
believe is not generally known, that an Order has
recently been issued from the Admiralty, directing
that quarterly returns should be sent from every
ship and ve:-.sel of war, stating what punishments
have been inflicted, for what crimes, alid the dates
of both crimes and punishments.
The Adventure, Snowden, of 'Whitby, from
Leith, for Quebec, was lost the 24th of May last,
in the Gulf of St. Lawrence crew saved. This is
the identical ship which the circumnavigator, Capt.
Cooke, sailed round the world in.

RUSSIA.—CUMOUS LETTEIL—A curious sunny.
Moos letter was yesterday received by an Under-
writer at LLOYD'S, respecting the expected Com-
mercial intercourse between this Country and Rus-
sia. The tendency of the letter was to guard the
Underwriters against any deceptious policy on the
part of Russia (whose sincerity the writer doubts),
in any speculation in which the Merchant may en-
gage in under the present appearances. Instead of
allowing the Emperor of Russia to neutralise two
of his ports for tie admission of Commerce, the
writer recommends a dept to be established at An-
holt, to be superintended by proper persons, to
NVhiCll depot the Russians should have free access,
until their sincerity should he fully ascertained.
This lettil- was publicly exhibited for the inspection
and guidance of the Underwriters.
• Accounts from Konigsburgh, by the Anholt
Mail, state, that a considerable disturbance took
place in that city (on the birth-day of Gen. Rappe),
between the French and Prussian troops, in which
upwards of eighty lives weie lost, and a great
ioany wounded ; it i.; also stated, that the greatest
animosity prevails between the troops of the too
nations.

PEastA.—The King of PERSIA is extremely de-
sirous that his subjects should be instructed in the
European discipline, especially the nperatioz;s of the
armies conducted by English Officers. It is as-
serted that when Gen. Mitt.com was about to de-
part, the KING, romantically, Offered him his
daughter in marriage, if the General would con-
duct the war against the armies of Russia.
The following is a copy of an intercepted letter
from the Governor of Navarre ( Reale), to Bessieres,
crated Pamplona, March 21 :

SlR—Esroz's gangs withdrew from Sangueza upon the
approach of the column which I sent thither, and proceeded to
the district of Estella; on the 13th tiny placed themselves in
ain!mscade at the gate of that city, and sent a few risen
forward to draw out the garrison, which consisted of about
:;(.0. The Commandant who knew that Escoz was in force
in the neighbourhood, was so foAish as to send out one officer
and 50 men, though unable to support them. The enemy
rushed upon them, killed 10 and took :31f, with the officer.
Colonel lizitriwe arrived at two o'clock with his column.; but
the enemy, who have always very early information of all our
mOVements, had already marched • ff, owing to the inexcusable
blunder of the Captain commanding in Estella. We lost in
this affair more men than we have taken from the enemy during
two months pursuit. The banditti have so many partizans, that
although they are every where unsupported, sick or wounded,
there is no coming at then. I have already had the honour of
stating it to your Excellency as my opinion, that we shall never
make an end of it in Navarre, until a place of transportation be
appointed, and strong escorts on the roads to coriduct all the re-
lations and partizans of the Banditti. The public spirit conti-
nues very bad. Arms and ammunition are received from
Valencia, and recruits are easily found in the country.
