WE stated yesterday' that- Admiral COCHRANE
was in sight of the French Squadron on the 6th
July, and our ,statement'W'aS confirmed hy. the fol-
lowing Official; Bulletin,. which. was sent froin the
Admiralty to the LORD 1.1:14YOR, and posted up at
LLOYD'S :

" Nothing material has been received by this day's post
from Plymouth, in addition to the Message by the Tele:
graph on Sunday, excepting the date. .The two Squadrons
were seen on the 6th jury, under the circumstances before
mentioned, by a Danish Vessel, which left S.t. Thomas's on
that day:

" The Trade for England were on the sth ult. at anchor

at Tortola.!?

No further intelligence has since been received ;
but we hatter ourselves that the next accounts from
the West Indies will be of a gratifying nature.
There is every reason to believe that SW JOHN 130 R••
LASE WARREN would arrive at Earbadoes about
the ipth or 12th ' July, and of course. would
lose no time- in pursuing .the track of the French
Squadron. If Admiral COCHRANE should succeed
in engaging and .disabling some of the rear Ships of
the. Enemy's Squadron, which there is every reason
to believe it was his, intention, their 'progress would
be impeded, and Sir JOHN WARREN'Z chance. of
overtaking them- considerably increased.

OUR Readers will end,, in a subsequent column,
what is stated to be the outline of ,BosApAwrg's Plan
for the alteration, or rather, the subversion, of the
Germanic Constitution. The EMPEROR of GER-,
IuANY is, as ,we expeded., to be deprived
,of all
power as Head of the Empire, and his authority
limited to hiS Hereditary States. We have .already
expresed_ our doubts whether he will be perrriitted
to retain the title of "Emperor of Germany;" in-
deed; If BONAPARTE'S new Plan be adopted, that
Title will, in fad, belong to . him, as he will
be the real head of the Empire. It is said
that his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY is extremely dis-
satisfied with the proposed alterations, and 'that
he intehds to remonstrate in the strongest manner.
against,thetn. That the KING of PRUSSIA is disSatis;-
lied at the events which have occurred for the last
few monthi, we have no doubt, because they have
not only clefe,ated whatever Plans of aggrandize-
ment he might .have forted, but have rendered
cdmpletely nugatory the system of Politics iapon
whicli Prussia has almost invariably a&ed since she
lasri2en to her present rank among the Powers of
Europ. The anxious wish which the Cabinet of
Berlin has always felt to see the power of the House
of Anstria reduced,- has, unfortunately, beencom-
pletely gratified ; but, while Prussia was endeavour-
,, ng to humble a rival, she has in effect given to:
herself l.roaster; for the uncontrouled influence of
BONAPARTE en the Continent justifies that expres-.
slot!. But whatever clisapperintment his. Prussian
Majesty may -feel, we are convinced. that he :will
not attertipt any serifius opposition to the:proposed'
changes. There was -a time when the sincere and
adie co-operation of 'Prussia would 'ha've keservett

indepeildet'ee 21 Europe ; but that time is past,

and Prussia :`nay now ilinent, but she cannot retrieve
ber errors. It is not to be supposed that Prussia, after
retu..mg to join with 3ussia and Austria in. a coali-
tion .} ainst France, will now vpnture'upon the con

tes singie-liande.d. We are not yet in possession
of Ames of ail the Princes and States that mean
toj,,in-in t; !e new Confederation, of which BONA-
rA-RrE is to be the Head, but :We may venture to
'predict that it will include almost every Prince and
Curate iri Germany. It is well. known that BONA-
,rARTE always considers those as his Enemies who
are !Jot his Friends : upon the same , principle he
will consider- those who do not seek his prote&ipn,
as delyilsg his po er.

It ia said that BONTATARTE has proposed to The.
King of Prussia to put himself at the head of a Con-
fedciacy of the States in the North of Germany
it is not likely that any of the German Princes
would now choose to put themselves under the pro-
teaion of Prussia. •

The last Foreign Papers do not contain any ac-
counts of the progress of the Negotiation between
the' kings of SWEDEN and PRUSSIA, but we still
think that the differences between those Sovereigns
will be adjusted under the tpediation of Russia.

"ix 4; have every, reasop to believe that the Disco=
intim of Parliament will take place early next
