The Goliath is arrived -at Shithead, with, her
convoy, having had an excellent -passage. We
learn the fpllowing interesting particulars by her:
—The Leander had captured the United StateS
brig of war' Rattlesnake ; Ana the Majestic, ,his.
Majesty's late schooner Dominica, which, as well
as the Prolie, captured by the Orpheus;. bad all
arrivedt Halifax. The Independence, 74, was,
launched At Charlestown, near Boston, on the 23d
of June,
.and was taking in her guns, and fitting
for •.sea. The - Guerriere frigate was launched'
•at Philadelphia on the 20th of June ; Cullum),
lore RoDdeas, :with his old crew; had joined
her, the "President being made over to Com-
modore DECATUR, who, with his • stew, from
the' United States, -are fitting her for sea ; she
would' be ready by the Ist Of August.. The Ma'
cedonian and United States are laid Up at •New
London ; the crew of the Fortner was sent to the
Lake, the'Hornet alone being kept ready.'l.'heCongress frigate, at Portsafbath, (New Hamp---
shire), was hatqed up, and her guns ttd asLare
for her protection. The Peacock, Wasp, Adams,
and Syren sloops of war, and. Hornet schooner,
were all at sea when. the •last accounts 'reached

Halifax, which was tt the,. 7th of July. The
Chesapeake squadron have beet actively employed
in binning and 'capturing numerous stoves of to=
hacco, said to be of a very conSiderable amotnit.
The Bulwark, 74, in the neighbitnhOed .of Bus=
ton, hai.emised much &image to the con-qmg- trade.
Sir Jag. Neo has, it said, given ttp the'.cuOrnand
on Lake Ontario, through. ill heal;4l: ,;Our loss
in seamen, at Sandy Creek, has been. replaced
by the crews of 'two'troop-ships, from' Que-
bec. :Excepting the attack on Osvvego, and on
the-Intmsy 'place, nothing had yet been done
on the. Lakes this season. The Goliath spoke
the Vcnp,enr, with troops from Bourdeaux, on the
Banks of NewfOtindland, on the 15th of July, on
her way to Quebec; the convby and the Ydris had
separated a few days before, in a fog; the Erne had
been left in chace of a privateer brig, ,with a chance
of capturing her.. Nothing from England had ar-
rived at Bermuda or Halifax, since the Hernies,
when the Goliath sailed,. An expedition had sailed
from the rendezvous at Kelbere, Nova Scotia, for
the purpose Of maintaining a footing at-Indian
Isle, in the Bay of Fundy'. It was known in the
United Skates, that hoops were coming, from
Bourdeatix the President, however, still held the
same opinions of carrying on the war, against the
feeling of the Northern States, who already began
to experience the effects of the blockade, which
-is considered to be far more against their interest
-than the .embargo.

The French frigate which, sailed from L'Orient
in May last, to convey information to M. SRRRU-
BIER, French, Minister at Washington, of the re-
establishment of the BOURBONS On the Throne,
arrived at New York on 'the ,6th of last inonth.
She has now reached the French port, and is the
bearer of fresh credentials to Mr. Cattwrottn, the
American Minister at Paris, in his new character
of PlenlPotentiary to. Louis XVIII. and of, fresh,
instructions to the Republican' .Counnissjoners
now assembled, at Ghent,
Admiral•FooTE returned to Portsmouth on Fri-
day, front Bourtleaux, in the Dnblin, having com-
pleted the einba'rkation of all . the British troops
that Were in that city. The Rear-Admiral left the
Garonne On Saturday ; the VesnYins was waiting
to bring home the 'Commissaries who had been
appointed to•liquidate the debts of .the army.—
We have yet to receive the fifth division of our
brave army from France, commanded by the Hon.
General COLVILLE. It was embarking at Bay-
onne,, under the superintendance of 'that dis-
tinguished Officer, and Admiral PENIioSE.

The part immediately assigned to the govern-
ment of the Prince of ORANGE IS, it is now said,
td-extend to the Itoer. We had conceived that
the Maese was, to he the boundary : that from
thence the Prussian part was to commence and
reach to the Moselle ; and that the residue was to
belong to Austria. This may, at last, prove to
be the most appropriate divi6m. It is proper to
Observe that it is from Brussels itself that the So-
wercigu of the Netherlands dates this Proclama-
tion to the Belgians, on talting•the government
from the hands of Baron Dc VINCENT. •

Lord MULGRAVE, Master-General of the Ord-
mince; arrived at Portsmouth, on Friday, at Ge-
neral FISHER'S, from Lornion. on an official visit.
His. Lordship returned to, town Saturday after-
noon. It is under consideration, we understand,
to extend the North part of the Dock-yard, on
which sawing-mills will be erected, on the steam-
engine principle. Lord AIELviLLs is expected
upon the same subject.
