bec, for one of his' Majesty's Dock-yards; in
England ; soon after sailing, • she encountered-,a tre-
mendous,gale of wind off the coast of Anierica, in

We have received Letters and Papers from Ame-
r:ea; by way•Of Liverpool, seven days later than those
whin had previously arrived. One from New
York,dated July the 2d, says, that notwithstanding
the long cessation of imports, on account of the Em-
bargo and Non4ntercourse Laws, sales of dry goods;
to use the commercial phrase, were very heavy.
This die& seems to be the necessary consequence of
the immense supplies of merchandize of this descri?,
Lion, which were sent from England on account of
the insufficiency of demand in the markets of Eu-
rope: Bills were extremely: scarce, and were not to
be obtained under, 1 t per cent.- It was supposed
thlt no feWer than 1120 vessels had sailed from
New York only, since the date of the negociatiod
With Mr:.Erskine. '

NEW- YORK, JUNE, ship Yorick,
Harman, -which atter landing her letters at Fayal,
arrived at Madeira in twenty-one days from this city,
Was the first vessel that carried to either of thPse
plaCes the news of our differences with England be-ing adjUsted. The intelligence excited a general
joy. Such vessels as were discharging their cargoes
were re-loaded immediately for England, as nothing
would sell at Madeira and Fayal, excepting cordage
and canvas. The former was scarce and in demand,
and sold at nine guineas per cwt.
• " It is said in the Savannah and Charleston
Papers, that the cotton crops have sustained much
damage this season from the violence of several hail
storms.

" The True. American,, of Philadelphia, under
date of the 26th of June, stating the proceedings of
Congress, mentions that the House of Representa-
tives, conformably with the proposal of the Senate,
was prorogued until the 4th Monday in November
next."

Thirteen\ hundred Merino sheeep were, on Mon-
day and Tuesday, landed at Deptford, from eight
transports, for the Use of his MAJESTY. There
were 50 also for Lord 1-10),LAND, and the same
number for Lord MULGRAVE. One hundred and
fifty-seven cornmon Spanish sheep were lauded for
the KING. FiVe thousand mole Merino are on their
passage bi MAJESTY.

The perusal of the Speech, and the translation ,°(
it, as given in the Muniteur, will -afford the most
decisive proof bf the falsification of almost the wllO/0
of the Third Seaion of the Speech;and of the
.entivo
omission of one of its paragraphs. The unworthy
'tnOtive which led to this artifice, is, however, as
Obvious as the artifice itself. When his Majesty/
speaking of the affairs of Europe, says,—" the atro'
cious and unparalleled aet of violence by which t4O
Ruler of France attempted to surprize and enslave
the Spanish Nation, while it has exerted in Spain 3
determined and unconquerable resistance," &c.
only expresses the solemn opinion of Europe and of
all Frenchmen upon
:this odious war, which Wag
kindled by the insatiable ambition of the Tyrant of
:Prance against a
.power which, for thirteen years)
had been one of ifs most faithful and devoted
-Allies This war is unpopular and detestea,
throughout France; and having no other obje6
but that of placing one Crown more on the
heads of his atamily, it lowers the. French people in
their own eyes, and would make them blush at
the goccess of their Tyrant if he should obtain it'
while it compels them to wish that the energy
of their ancient Ally may preserve Spain from that
domination of which France knows all the atrocity'
,because it sustains all the weight. The Tyrant el
France knows that his Majesty's Speech, deliyero .
in the midst of the British -Parliament, expresses
the sentiments of the French people, sentiment'
thatare even uttered in the midst of the Conserva'
tive senate, and in the Council, when the Members
are out of his sight, and safe from the, ohservation 0f
,his spies. This concurrence of. opinion between tha
British and French Na: ions, alarms the Tyfint, and
beane the total suppression of the Paragraph._, 13r

this similarity of opinion between the two Na-
lions, on the subject of the war with Spain, might
make the people of France perceive that peace would
he no longer impossible if they were to consult their
own opinion and their own interests, instead of the
opinions and interests of their Tyrant ; hut thopeace
of Europe is an objets of terror to BIJONAPARTE, and
therefore he suppressed a Paragraph which pointed
out ti+eposiblity of its restoration.
The King's Speech adds, that the efforts of the

40‘striertis " have awakened in other Nations of
Europe a determination to resist, by a new effort,
• tbe continued and increasing encroachments on their
safety and independence."
BUONAPARTE dreads lest they should be awaken-
ed, because he knows that would put a period W his
tyranny in France and in Europe, and thereloye he
has suppressed that Paragraph.
But of all the falsifications that ever were attempt..
ed, that which follows is, perhaps, the most curi-
ous:—" Aithough," says •tile Speech, " the uncer-
" taiuiy of all human affairs and the vicissitudes
" • attendant upon war forbid too ooniideut an expec-

" tation of a saustaaory issue to the present con-
" test against-the Coiiunou Enemy of Eur Ope, His
" Majesty counnands us to congratulate you.on the
" splendid and important success which has crowned
Arms of the inperor of Au ST Ria, under the able
" and distinguished conduct of his Imperial High-
" ness the Archduke CHARLES."
The official Journal of BUONAPARTE thus falsifies
this paragraph —" The uncertainty of all human at-
" fairs, and the vicissitudes which accompany war,
" do not permit us to indulge too confidently in the
" hope that the contest will terminate favourably,
" for we have to contend against an Enemy of an
" (active genius, with whom every thing prospers,
" and all whose designs, even those which are most
" incredible, succeed."

The force of truth compelled tOONAPARTE to feel
that. he was " the Comwon Enemy of Europe,"
and therefore he suppressed those words. In the
place of the merited ealoginms on the Archduke
CHARLES, and the congratulations of the King of
England to his Parliament, on the vidory of Apern,
he substitutes praises which he gives to himself for
his activity and his irresistible success, and puts into
the mouth of the King of England the same' lan-
guage that he commands FONTANES, and the other
Orators of his Councils to use, when they attend him
at the Thuilieries. It certainly was a very pleasant
and ingenious device of BUONAPARTE to insert an
acknowledgment of his invincibility, in a speech of
the King et. En2land, addressed to his Parliament,
and delivered in the midst of a Nation which he has
tever conquered) and by whose Fleets his own ha% e
always been defeated.

The concluding paragraph of the Speech, is also
changed in the most impudent and ridiculous man-

uer.

" His Majesty has direited us to assure you, that
" he is determined to continue his strenous assist-
" ance and support, convinced that you Nvili agree
" with him, in considering that every exertion ior
the re-establishment of the independence and se-
" curity of other nations, is no less conducive to the
" true interests, than it is becoming .the character
" and honour of Great Britain."

The Moniteur alters this paragraph in the
foaow-
-Ing manner :

" Nevertheless, his Majesty orders us to assure
" you, that he is determined to aid and support the
&Oro of Austria with all his power, persuaded
" that you will think that the measures which tend
" to the re-establishment of her independence are
de

"I not less conducive to the true interests of Great
" Britain, than they are becoming its chara6ter and
" honour.-

The Ruler of France having judged it expedient
for his interests to leave out all that partof the Speech
which relates to the effete which the heroic efforts
of the Spaniards had produced in -Europe: was com-
pelled to alter that passage iu which his Majesty pro-,
thised his support to all the nations of Europe that
were willing to throw off the tyranny of BUONA•
PARTE. But he had another motive for confining to
Auhtria, and to Austria alone, the promises of assist,.
`lnce troth the British Nation. It is of great
portaoce to him to turn away the eyes of the People
of France from the real cause of all the wars in which
they are
plunged, because the sole .cause of those
wars is the necessity which BUONAPARTE has im-
posed 'upon all Kiwi
b and
sPeople,
coming either his upon all of be-
enethies or his slaves—his accom-
plice s or his Vi&ittlii. Austria had no other mo-
tive in this war than that which, sooner or later,
must area all Nations—the necessity of contend-
ing for their existence and their independence,
and the necessity imposed upon all Kings, either to
resist. or to perish like CHARLES the IVth; or like
FREDERIC WILL-lAM ; the first, for having served.
fIuaNta,PARTE, and the seCond,, for being weary of
his servitude. It is necessary that BUO'NAPARTE
ilioold conceal theie alarming truths from- France,
ctltertrise he would not be able to carry info effect

his horrible law of comcrip.tion; thealwa l'e
endeavours to persuade the people of .France, inat
Austria and are united to attack -itan
from political motives, and not trom the at..soltire ne-
cessity which compelled Austria to arms, in order
to escape destruction, and which induced England
to asbist her, in order to pieserve the iudepetidenco
Of Europe.

To conclude, BUONAPARTE having in the most
shameless manner, permitted so gross a falsehood to
appear in his Official Journal, has for the tUture ef-
fectually discredited the publications of his Govern-
ment. No document can exist of more indisputable
publicity throughout all Europe than the King of

England's Speech, pronounced in Parliament, and it
is for that very reason that it is more important to
expose these falsifications, and these incredible de-
ceptions which lie ethploys to impose upon a Mi-
lton of which he is the Tyrant and the plague.

A Patent is preparing for creating Mr. Committ.,
of PiLudilly, a Baronet.

The very serious and general coMplaints lately
made of the scarcity of guineas prove to)iave been
well founded. Several persons have been employed
in collecting, in markets and other places where the
circulation of the current coin of the country most
predominates, specie to a large amount, for which
they have been accustomed to give a premium of
five per cent, in Bank notes. This infamous traffic
is at length clearly traced to different sources, and
it is ascertained, tl;at considerable quantities of
guineas have been sent out of the country. Yes-
terday a seizure was made of some cases in which
no less than thirty thousand gumeas were packed.—
The most diligent search is making after the offend-
ing parties, and the guineas are safely preserved.
SAILING MATCH.-Yesterday a silver cup and co-
ver, the gift of the Prn!)rietors of Vauxhall, was
sailed for by the following Gentlein, n's Pleasure-
boats, subject to the regulations of the Cumberland
Sailing Society :

Spots. Boats. Masters. Place. Burthen.
1. The Spitfire, Coxet, London, 4 tons.
2. The Daphne, 13oser, Di to, 4
3. The St. George, Cunstone, 1..)tt0, 7
4. The Caroline, Fillon, Stangate, 3

They started from Blackfriars at about ten minutes
before six. The St. George and the Daphne affirst
took the lead; but -unfortunately ter them, as they
were tacking abreast of Somerset-house, they ran •
foul of each other ; 'the other then shot a-head ; as
they passed through Westminster Bridge, the Caro-
line was about two boats' length a-head of the Spit-
fire, and they were both of them full a cable's lenet h
a-head of the other two. Abreast of Mr. Godfrey,
the boat-builder's, at Bishop's Walk, Lambeth, a
boat that did not belong to the match crossed the
track of the Ceroline, and she, for tear of runnilig.
it down, threw her sails aback for about a minute e
the Spitfire then darted forward, and it was with
difficulty tha• the Caroline recovered any thing near
her former situation. Opposite Cumberland Gar-
dens the Caroline was again fouled, but she still
hung close upon the Spitfire's cleaner. There was
a good smart breeze at first ; and by tier great press
of sail, it it bad continued, and there had been no,
fouling, there was little doubt but that the St.
George would have been the winner. Though the
wind was in their teeth, it was pleasanter for all
parties than the dead calm which came on just as
they passed the Red Mouse ; they then had hardly
steerage way up to Putney. As they turned back,
the tide was falling, and they drove with the cur-
rent., The sternmost boats, however, "fell in with
the full strength of Cle ebb, and recovered their dis-
tance ; so that at half after eight, when they reach-
ed Cumberland Gardens, the sternmost boat was not
much more than two boats' lengths astern of the
headmost. The St. George and the Spitfire were
almost nose and tioae; the former, however, rather
took the lead, ,until a slight breeze sprung up from
off the land, which helped the latter forward, she
being -on the land side, and the breeze not being
strong enough to assist such a large boat as the St.
George. The Spitfire then reached the goal the
first, but the difference was barely discernible,, and
the whole four boats might then be covered witle a
sheet of canvas. The day was extremely fine, the
river was crowded with boats, and among the rest
there was one carrying a large bill for the ensuing
lottery ; but, notwithstanding the vast crowd of
boats, we did not hear that any accident occurred.
boGGerr's"Coat and Badge is to he roWed for next
Tuesday, in consequence of the boats having started
without signal.
FORTUNE-TELLING..--.At Marlborough-street Po-
lice Office, yesterday, a prophetess, of the name of
Ann Dawson, was charged with obtaining of Eli-
zabeth Davis a 7s. piece, a dollar, and half a crown,
under pretence of foretelling future events. It ap-
peared by the statement of the Prosecutrix, who re,
bides in South-street, Grosvenor-square, that the
Defendant accosted her at the area gate with her
basket of broken china, and welked into the kitchen.
The Prophetess informed Mrs. Davis, that her face
denoted-good fortune, and after talking a Nile abOut
her physiognomy, Mts. Davis crave:her half a crown
to tell her tortutie. The sybil, after producing her
book of planets, and the necessary apparatus to im-
pose on the ignorant, informed the credulous woman
that a coronet was waiting for her at the death of
her husband, which would soon take place, fur she
would marry a Nobleman, by whom she would
have four children. Jenny Ware, the Prosecutrix's
servant, had her fortune told also, and was astonish-
ed at the LARNING of the Prophetess, who told her
of a misfortune she had in the country years ago.—
Mrs. Davis expressed her desire to hear more, and
then the CHARM was introduced, that is, the De-
fendant received gold and si,ver, the 7s. piece and
the dollar, to prognosticate further. A great secret
then came out, that the husband of Mrs. Davis had
a great deal of- hidden treasure, and in half an hour
the Prosecutrix should be made acquainted with the
biding place, as the chatm would in that time be
perfect. The Prophetess left the house to return in
half an hour ; but the anxious expeOation of Mrs.
Davis was disappointed, and she never again saw
her until yesterday morning, when the Defendant
was apprehended. The Defendant was committed
for the fraud.
