WEDNE6DAY, JULY 6; 1808.

Our 'leaders will, we are sure,
.peruse with the
most sincere satisfaalion the following Order of
Council, which appeared in the Gazette of last night,
declaring, in conforknity to the sentiments contained
in Majesty's Speech, this Country to be at Peace
with Spain. The wise and liberal condu& of the
British Government, upon this occasion, will, we
trust, not only contribute effeanally to the preser-
vatino of the independence and integrity of the SPa-
nis Empire, but lay the foundation of a laSting and
intithate connexion between the two Countries, a
connexion which has hitherto only been prevented by
th . intrigues of France, and by the preponderance
whicn site has possessed in the Councils of Spain
during the last century :

At the Court at the Queen's Palace, the 4th Of
July, 1808, present, the KINQ'S most Excellent Ma-
jesty in Council.
His Majesty having taken into his consideration
the glorious exertions of the Spanish Nation for the
deliverance of' their Country• from the tyranny and
usurpation of France, and the assurances which his
Majesty has received from several .of the Provinces
'of Spain, of. their friendly disposition towards this
Kingdop, i,...hts_ltitajesty is pleaSed, by and with the
advice of his Privy- Council, to order, and it" is hereby
ordered :

First, That all hostilities against Spain on the part
of his Nl:oesty shall immediately cease. •
Secondly, That the Blockade of all the Ports 'of
Spain, except such as_may be still in the possessiOn.
or under controul Of France, shall be forthwith

• rfised:
Thirdly, That all, Ships atd Yer.sels belongidg to
Spain shall have free athnission into the Ports of his
Majesty's Dominions, as before the present

Fourthly, That all Ships and Vessels belonging to
Spain, which shall he met at sea by his Majesty's
Ships and Cruizers, shall be treated in the same man-
ner as the ships of States in amity with his Majesty,
and shall be suffered to carry on any trade now con-.
to 1-)e lawfay carried on by sidered by his Majesty .
neutral ships.

Fifthly, That all vessels' and goods belo:iging to
personS, residing in the Spanish Colonies, which
Shall be detained by any of his Majesty's Cruizers
after the date hereof, shall be brought into Port, and

shall be carefully preserved in safe custody,, to await
his Majesty's furtlieepleasure, until it shall be known
whether the said Cotonies, or any of them, in which
the Owners of such ships and goods reside; shall
have made common cause with Spain against the
power of France.
And the Right. Hon. the Lords Commissioners of
his Majesty's Tresury, his Majesty's Principal Secre-
taries of State, the Lords. Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty, the Judge of the High Court of Admiralty,
and the Judges of the Courts of Vice•Adaiiralty,
are to take such measures herein as to them may
respetthTely appertain.

STEM. COTTRELL.

Though we have nothing new of an authentic
kind to communicate from Spain itself, yet the ac-
counts from Gibraltar tend to excite-'the..most fa-•
vourable • expectations of the probable issue 'of
affairs in that Country. An ardent spirit of
.patriotism pervades the whole of the People,
and they seem resolved to hazard, every ' thing in
defence, of. their Country, against the ferocious
hordes who are attempting to. enslave them. Their
chief want is in able Officers, to give a proper system
-and'direttion to the national energies, and a due sup-
ply of military Stores. These wants the provident
activity of the British Government will abundantly
supply. Part of the troops which we yeSterday
mentioned as about to be employed on this glorious
Occasion, we learn by accounts from Portsmouth
this day, have 'already ernbarked.frona that place,
and by accountti, from Plymouth we find that British
Troops were also embarking at that pi.-Le %via, all
possible expedition.

The Spanish prisoners who have been so properly
released, and are to be sent to Spain, as oti.e of the
many proofs of the interest which Great Britain
takes in her cause, were expected to bail yesterday
'from Portsmouth, ittider the condua of Col. DOYLE
and Capt. Ii.t.NNEDY.

A Report was yesterday circulated that Russia bad
declared War against France, and a considerable fall
took place in the price of Most articles of Russian
produce.,
.'We should be happy to have it in our
power to confirm this report ; but it is our duty to
state, that no such intelligence has reached this.
Country; at least. in any authentic shape. At the
same time, we still entertain the opinion which we
expressed Sollle days ago, -that we sh;l4.lld very scion
have the satistattion of witnessing, a total change in
the policy of the Ca'oinet of StrPeter.burgh.

The Hindustan has arrived at Plyßiouth,from tht;
• ,
Tagus, but the aicounts she bring Are not so late
as those which have already reached US.
The American Ship Tire, bound from Plitladel.,
phia to Bourdeaux, has been scut into Plyrnotith by
the Growlel' Gun-brig. The Ambassador front
Spain to the United States was on board of her.

On Monday the Dukes, of CL&RINCE and IcErr
dined with her MAJESTY and, the PEINCESSES, at
Frogmore.
Yestetalay morning His MAJEsryj'rincessc.s.
COSTA, SOVHIA,, and AMELIA, accompanied by Lady
ELY, Mr. OusviLL, Count MoxsrEa; Generals
HARQOUET, PITZWY, and GARTH, and Colon:41
'TAYLOR, rode on horSeback in Windsor Park.—Her
MAJESTY, Princesses ELIZABBTH and MARY, took
an airing to 14'rognaore.
On Monday evening the Swedish Ambassador
received dispatches front his Court. His-Excellency
attended .early yesterday morning at the Foreign
Office, and saw' the Under Secretary of State.
Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Se-
cretary of State's' Office, St which the Duke of
PORTLAND, Earls CAMDEN, WESTMORLAND, BA.
''THUEST, • and CHA.IIIIM, the LORD CHANCELLOR,
Urds MULGRAVR and HAWKESBURY,
CASTLERgAGII, Mr. CANNING Mi. th CHANCEL.:
LOR of the EXCIIEUIJER attended. Sir RosEter
WILSON attended the Council, which did not break
up till past five o'clock.
Letters to the 3d instant were yesterday received
from Holland. The Moniteur is said to contain
Senatus Consultinni. by which the National Guards
are called out, to supply the plaW of the troops of
' the line withdrawn front the different Departments:
It is said that, at least, itio,o.ou men are on their,
march to join • the troops which BUONAPAIITE had
already colie4ed on the Spanish Frontiers.
It is stated in some ofThe Letters which hay; been
received from Spain, that the Patriots made use of
an excellent ruse de guerre in their attack upon Ge=
neral DurosT. A part of - the force that attacked
that General was composed of Regular Troops, and
before the adion commenced they changed cloaths
with the peasants, and others, who formed the re.
mainder of the Army. This artifice, it is stated,
was completely successful, foriGeneral DUPONT di-
re&ed his principal of brts against those whom, from
their Uniform, he took to be regular troops, and
had taken very feW precautions against those whom
he considtred. to be 'an undisciplined mob. The
consequence, was, that his army was thrown into
confusion,. and completely defeated.
AccOrding to several private letters from Gotten-
burgh, it appears that the Russians are placed in very
. adt
erh' se circumstances in Finland. One letter from
onocl authority, meutious, that a Russian Force of
7000 men, which has been for some time entrtmoh-
ed at.Carleby, is now surrounded by a Swedish army
of t 1;000 men,. to whom it must surrender, if our
information be correct. Among the Russian force 14)
situated ig, we -undeistand, several Swedish traitors,
and particularly SiltiNGpargN, aid some of his
comp‘amons.

Letters frott Holland of the 29th ult. assure us
that something of an extraordinary nature had oc-,

curred4o agitate the Dutch Government. On-Tues-
day last the principal officers of State were con-
vened by the King on a measure of considerable irn-

portance, but the result of their deliberations had nut
transpired. •

FALL OF BUONAPA RTE.—If we may trust the pro-
phetic intimations of a Clerical Seer, the downfall of
this sanguinary Despot is, likely to take place in a
short time. The Reverend Prophet founds his pre-
di4ions on some passages in the 13th chapter of the
book of Revelation, which he thus interpretes
The Beast rising out of the Sea (Corsica) with
seven heeds and ten horns, and upon his ten hprns

ten crowns—is BUGNAPARTE. This • Beast,was •to
have reigned forty and two Months.--As Emperor,
of France, BifONAPA4TE has nearly reigned this
exaet number of months.. The Dragon e. the
Devil) gave him this power and great authority ;
and he caused all, both Small and great, rich and
poor, free and hond,.to receive a mark in their
right hand—i. e. BIIONAPARTE has caused all persons
to submit to his tyranny.--The eat's number was
six hundred three score and six., which exactly cor-
tesponds with the numerical calculation of all the
letters in BuoNAP4IITE;'s name, reckoning the letters
according to the nthnber affixed to each before ti)e
introduttion of..figures, thus :—N 40, A =l,
P = 60, 0 = 50, L 20, E=s, A = 40,
(the letters ofltis Chi istian name) B :7= 2,
O=-- 50,, 7N 40, A= 1, P.= 60, A = , = 80,
T = too, E 5, being the.letters in his surname,
amounting altogether to 666, the identical•number
of the Beast—t. e. 81/ONAPART:"—,-Tilii venerable
expounder of divine mysteries adds, that the Spanish
Patriots are the destined instruments of I.hedestruc-
thm of this Beast, ,as he denominates the French
Ruler, according to the spnbolical language of the
passages which he thus explains, and it is said that
he confidently relies Upon the truth of his interpre-
tation, There are very few persons in the world
who can wish. that he May prove a false prophet,:
Several very handsome Drum-Majors' staffs, sil-
ver-mounted, with the initials L. N. for Louis. NA-
POLEON, richly embossed, have been landed from the
Guelderland Dutch Frigate, lately brought into Cork.
There are also some 'very handsome parasols, silver-
mounted, and richly embossed, intended fur presents
in Batavia. • ,

Yesterday• Morning the-7th-regiment of Light Dra,
goons was reviewed on 1-loonslowneath by the Duke
Of YQRK, accompanied try the Duke of CAMBRIDGE,
General CAI:vFa-r, the Adjutant General, .and a
number of General Officers. After the review, the
Officers of the Regiment •entertained the • Rdyal
Dukes with a sumptu.ous dinner at the Castle ltin,
at Richmond.-

No credit is due to the report of an insurrection
on the Coast of France. The rumour is supposed to
have originated in ,thetsanguine expeet-ations of the
'Emigrants at Guernsey, founded, on the probability
of success in a plan of an insurretaion, said to have
been recently considerably matured, but defeated• by
the treachery of some of the persons entrusted with
the secret. The following letter shews that. some
of the persons engaged in' carrying on a correspond-
ence between Jersey, and France have lately been
discovered, and be4z.ved into the hands of the

Enemy. '
JERSEY, JUNE 5.--,(Dn the f.t>oth. inst. a boat
sailed from. this Island to the. Coast of Prance with
Monsieur GoutoN, who has since the Revolution
assisted in the Correspondence betwee❑ - and
'When he came within a certain distance
from the shore he made the usual signal, which, was

itn6iediately answered ; in consequence of which
he and two men landed, and were met by JEAN
BOUCHARD, who was emplOyed on the same
vibe. He informed them 'that Monsieur PREGENT
waited at .a short distance for them, and that they
could proceed to meet him with all safety. They
had *not, however, advaticed above forty yards, when
BoucnAuD, seizing Monsieur GouvoN by the el-
boWs, exclaimed in French—" GOUYON, you are
any prisoner !" on which a company of soldiers,
concealed-kg the purpose, surrounded him. When
he found himself thus betrayed, he called outto the
two men ,who followed him to save, themselves ; but,
I am sorry to say, that, before they could regain
their boat, one of them was killed, and the other
wounded, in .two places, by discharges of musketry.
Those who had remained in the boat, owing to the
darkness of the. night, escaped unhurt. I ana.happy
to say that the man who was wounded is in a state
•of speedy recovery. •It is very generally . supposed-
that all those concerned' in the Correspondence have
,equally been destroyed. They are eight or nine, in-
cluding Monsieur PREGENT, the Chief, who first
established, and has since been indefatigable in pro=
moting, the Correspondence. I have, however,
some hopes that he at least may 'be safe; having often
heard him say that his places of resort were known to
• none of his companions.

The abstinence-of the, Spaniard qualifies him in a
particular ritinnerlor the exertions to whichi he pre-
sent struggle will expose him. He will perform a
journey of 100 miles. without rest, on no other sus-
tenance than a piece of bread rubbed with a head of
Drunkenness is considered a most degrad-
ing and brutal vice. Indeed it is so rare, that the
sight of a drunken Man draws multitudes to stare at
the sight, as of a monster. Captain CARLSTON, in.,
liis. Memoirs, gives us the following anecdote :—"
was one day. walking in one Of the most populous
-streets of that City (Barcelona), where.l Iciund an
uncommon concourse of people,. of all -sorts, got
together; and imagining so great a crowd could
not be assembled on a Small occasion', I passed in
among the rest, and, after a good deal of struggling
and difficulty, reached into the ring and centre 'of
the multitude. But, bow did I blush, with what
confusion did I appear, whenA found one of my
own countrymen, a drunken Grenadier, the attrac-
tive loadstone'of all the high and low mob, and the
Jinn of all their merriment ! It will be easily
gined to be a thing not a little surprising to one of
our country to find that a drunken man should be
' such-a wonderfUl sight !"
When the rumour of an intention to ere the
houses in Hyde Park was.first circulated, a Memorial
against the measure was drawn up, stud signed by
the following Noblemen and Ladies —Earls Of
WINC,HELSEA, BREADALBANR,' GROSVENOR, and
FRURER ; Viscount MORPETH ;. Lord DUDLEY and
WARD ; Ladies. MORTON, M. BOWLBY, CUB.
