WEDNESDAY, MAIII-11 8, 1809.

We have the pleasure of informing our Readers
that a Treaty of Peace has been concluded with the

Sublime Porte. The Messenger, with Dispatches
from Mr. Await, communicating this agreeable in-
telligence, arrived last night, and the following Let-
ter was sent this day from the night Hon. GEORGE

CANNING to the LORD MAYOR,. and was imme-
diately cominunicatecl by his Lordship to the Public

Foreigu Mike, March 8.

" MY LORD,

!, I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship,
that a Treaty of Peace, between His MAJESTY and

the Susumit rottrz, was signed on 501 Januaty

last.

I have the honour to be, &c.

(Signed) !‘ GEORGE CANNING."
a To theBlit 1104. the Lord Mayor."

The .61 laat,:night. confirms the account we
yesterday gave respeeting the French Frigates .driven
on shore by our Squadron off.Rochefort, and accord-
ing to the opinion Admiral STOI4O RD, they Will
nevor,go to sea again. '.l'he Enemy's force, it ap-
Peirs, consists of eleven Sail of the Line, four Fri-
gates„ and. the Calcutta, of 54 guns. The British
Squadron un kr Mtniral SToiroip, conskts of seven
Sail of the hne and five Frigates, a disparity of which`
nobody need be .afraid who consider the skill and
intrepidity of our gallant Naval 'Defenders.

The intelligence brought by the Portuguese Papers,
which we received last night, down to the 2 1 st alt. is
highly important, and adds considerable strength
to the general expeClation of a speedy rupture
between Austria and. Frmce, if it has not actually
take!) place. The retreat of the French fintn
La Mancha towards Madrid, with such pre-
cipitatiop as .to leave their arms and baggage
behind them, indicates fin ordinary cause, but
seems to spew that the French Usurper thinks
that he has reason to be serionily 'alarmed, particu-
larly, as, aftvt all his vaunting Bulletins, be lute not

thought proper to imOove the advantages he has'ob-
tained in' the neighbourhood of Cdrunna and Vigo.
We refer our Readeri.to the two 'articles which they
will find'in our Paper of this daY, dated Lisbon,
February- 17th and Toth. If it be true that the.
Arch duke Jon N has already entered the Tyrol, and that
the Archduke CHARLES has also penetrated Bavaria,
'the world may have more reason to look, with hope
towards the result of a new contest between Aus.-
tria and BuONsn.liTE, as it shews that the Cabinet.
ofVienna hai begun to understand the cliaraaer of the
French Tyrant better than it did on former occasions,
and will not wait quietly till he has prepared and
matured all the means of destruction In his` power.
The Tyrolians, it is well known, detest the French,
and would seize the first opportunity, of over-.
throwing their authority, The Archduke 'Joint
.will therefare be hailed as their Deliverer. It is
not indeed unlikely that Bavaria, if thedared, would
with equal zeal be disposed to co-operate with the
Archduke OBAR LES j but this is certainly not an equal.
ground for hope,. Censidering the terrors which the
French arms have excited at every place where
the power of Iluoisiratera has been felt. But the
•
new policy adopted at Constantinople, evident in
the treaty toW, so happily concluded between
the. Sublime Porte and this Country, and the ru!
mour of a change in the sentiments of the Court
of St. Petersburgh, which might indeed be expeff.'
ed, considering the general disgust with which the
Russians .have viewed the conduct of their Emperor
towards France, the sudden removal of the Danish
Ships from. the French Ports, and other matters
tenapire to present a more favobrable aspe& of
things, and seem to shew that the injustice, "ambi
tion, and oppression of France, have. reached their
highest point, and that abetter order of things may
be expeded from the general spirit of insulted
Europe. A Morning Paper indeed gives a dif-,
ferent interpretation to the singular fad of the
removal of,• the Danish Ships from the French
Ports, and says. that they were seeking refuge in
those Ports and were • driven away, by order from
the French Minister, according to notice preVipusly
given to the Court of Copenhagen, and thence cony',
municated to the Danish. Consuls in France. But it
would be an extraordinary ad indeed in France, if
she were offended with another State to drive away
the Vessels of that State, rather than secure them
for herself. The faa, is not denied; and it is more
, ieasonable t& infer; that Denmark ' has aced from
her awn policy on this occasion, and that she looks
for support in other Powers to be rescued from the
disgrace and misery of a Gallic alliance.

WE have the authority to say, that the report in
a Morning Paper,. of Dispatches having been re-
ceived last night from AdMiral COCHRANE, In the
West Indies, stating the surrender of Martinique to
the British Forces, is without inundation.

'Van morning seven Gottenburgli arrived.
The following the- only articles of intelligence

they bring :
STockmot..st, FEB. 20.—His. Royal Majesty has
received the following report :
" As thelnevable property found at a small
place near Enklin, called Enklubd, could not be re•
moved during the last Expedition, for :want of
horses, the Officers commandingar the past of ''War-
do, were observed on the 14th to detach a strong
reconnoitring party to Enklin, in order to save the
movable property of the inhabitants, and destroy
the buildings, which was successfully performed by
Captain Van ENGLILBRUEITIN, 0f 1110 '!CgiMetWOf

The interesting busineis respe6ling the CoMMa nder

Commons, and as we have every reason to believe
that it will be decided upon the purest principles of
justice, we look with satisfaalion on our ou' .n ma-

the con-
du& of many of our eompetitors,,whaseern disposed..
to take thj affair out of the hands of the grest.coutl's

cipate the condemnation of the accused party. 'Per,

justice,, we shall-be tri:illfhTippy in hearing of s

been so long employed in the

has indignantly viewed all attempts to prejudge rho
question, and sympathize'with us in the Wish, that
our beloved Sovereign may receive some consolation
for the uneasiness which he must have suffered dur-

Admiral of the Blue, to the lion. w. W Pate. dated on •
board His Majesty's Ship the Caesar, at ar hor, 13a'eine
Light-house N. E. by N. four miles, Chassiroa S.S.E. I
ten, the 27th Feb. 1309. •
taut,
You will be pleased to acquaint my Lords Corn-
rnissioners of the Admiralty, that, on the Lad inst.
being at anchor to the N.W. of the Chassiron light-
houie, with the Ships named in the margin-x-, the
Amethyst looking out in the N. W. the wind be
ing to the eastward, about ten P.M. I observed
several rockets in the N.W. quarter, which induced
me to get under sail and stand towards them. At
eleyin observed several strange sail to the eastward,
to which I gave chase with the squadron until day-
light next morning, at which time the strange Ships
were standing into the Pertuis d'Antioche, consist-
ing of eight'Sail of the Line, one of them a three-
decker, and two Frigates. They boisted French
Colours, and conceiving them to be the Squadron
from Brest, I immediately detached the Naiad by
signal to acquaint Admiral Lord Gambier.
The Naiad having stood a few miles to-the N.W.
• made the signal for three Sail appearing suspicious,
immediately chased them with the Squadron un-
der my command (leaving the Amethyst and Erne-
-7!1 4to watch the enemy), and I soon discovered
'Bern to be three French Frigates standing in for the
Sable d'Olonne; I was at the same time joined by
the Amelia and Dotterel..
The French Frigates having anchored in a posi,
tion thoo&ht attackable, I stood in with the
Clesar,.upfiance, -Donegal, and Amelia, and opened
our fire in passing as near as the depth of water
would permit the Clew and Donegal to go. The
Defiance being of much le.ss draught of water, an-
'cbottd within halt a mile of them ; in which shun-
' so.judiciously chosen by Capt. Holborn, the fire
of the Defiaace and the other Ships obliged two of
:the,Frigates to cut their cables and go on shore. Tbe
ebs tide making, and the water falling fast, obliged,
the Defiance to get under sail, anti all the Ships
'to stand out ; leaving all the Frigates ashore, two
of them heeling very mueh. They have been 'no,
"tired closely, and from Capt. Rudd's report yesterslay -
afternoon they appeared with all their top-
thfrists on deck, slits unbent, mainyards rigged for.
'.getting pins our, and several -boats clearing them.
fancy they will endeavOur.to get over the Bar into
• a Mid! Pier, 'but I am intortied by the Pilots that .
it is scarcely-practicable. •
The Batteries- ptotecuing these Frigates are strong
and numerous. TheCcsar had her bowsiirit wound-
ed and rigging cut. The Defiance has all her
masts badly wounded ;. 2 men killed, and 2S 'Wound-
ed. Donegal, l killed and 6 wounded.
