his stated in a Paper of this morning, that Sir
Joux DUCKWORTH had arrived off Cadiz with 14
Sail of the Line. in pursuit of the French Fleet, and
that it Was supposed he would, upon ascertaining
that they had not passed the Straits, shape his course
to the West Indies.—We are enable to state po-
sitively that the above statement is unfounded.
It has been reported that the Fervent Gun-brig
had brought an account from Basque Roads, that
Lord GAMBLER was standing in, with the whole of
the British Fleet, for:the purpose of attempting to
destroy_ the French Squadron. This report is also
unfounded; the •Fervent bred& no such intelli-
gence.

Government, we believe, are in daily expeaation
of receiving intelligence' or the surrender of Fort
Bourbon. The last accounts from Martinique are of
the 19th February ; zt,;hat time Fort Bourbon was
closely blockaded, and it was daily expetled to sur-
render.

We have just seen a private Letter from Heligo.
land, dated the t9th inst. of which the following is
an extract :—" A Vessel (or Vessels) belonging to
this place, which had been taketi by a Danish Pri-:
valeer, had been retaken by some Dutch pun.tadts,:
and deliverd' up upon paying a trifling sum, so
anxious are the Dutch to trade-with us."'

We have this ,day, made some further Extraa4
from the Dutch and German Papers, and although
they do not contain any authentic intelligence of the
Peclaratiom of War bet Ween Austria and France,
yet we have little*doubt -thathcistilities have saually
commenced. Indeed it was positively stated by a
Gentleman who arrived in town. from the Continent
on Tuesday last, quit the Declaration of. War against
Austria, %as published at Paris on the 17th inst.

A Debak.e took plaix last night. in the troasii- of

Not satisfied with having overturned .so many an-
cient Governments, in order to provide: for his up-

proper to bestow the Government of Tuscan) on
one of his Sisters. It is impossible that this man
can suppose that any of these IVlushrnom Potentates
holdwtheir power a moment atter the world has

wanton with success, and digposed to treat mankind

so much, that the principal passek between the two

At Dresden, measures had been taken to protea
the town from attack,' which were become the
more necessary, as a great quantity of Austrian cap

Archduke Charles was arrived at Prague. The gai.,

that a powerful Austrian army is already coile&ed at

PARIS, MARCH to.i-,,-One of our papers of this

of the following contents :The Court Courant,
of the 25th, has a long. article taken from the-Etig;.
lish Papers, in which a great deal is spoken of the,
advantages gained by the English army in'Spain.77
The King of Sweden is most enthusiastically praised ;
and it is announced that Admiral Collingwood holds
t lie Mediterranean Sea in a state of blockade, and that
the King of England has concluded .a treaty with
Spain, the ratification of which is expected." Ann-
, they Paper contains an article dated Vienna, Fe-
bruary 24, in which it is said, " The Government
Paper is threatened with becoming altogether with-
out value: This has been occasioned by a 'forced
loan of the sth penny on all real property to be paid
in bard cash."
Masco 9.---The letters of the two Emperors to the
King of England, in the form in -which . they bat e
appeared in various Newspapers, are officially de-
clared to be unauthentic.
[From an Article which contains some details of the siege
of Saragossa, now superseded by the Bulletin, we extract
the following.)
4( The Journal of the siege contains various lists
of the ammunition used, froth which it open; s that
15,606 balls, and 17,044 bombs were shot, having
spent 157,650 pounds of powder, of which ig,ooo
were used in the blowing, up of mines. The be.
sieged latterly bad no large cannon-balls, 'eltcept
those which they gathered up that the French had
shot into the town, and they were obliged every 'day
to make fresh powder, their. stock being consumed.
