between the Oder and the Vistula. , . •
WILNA, APRIL 27.—The Emperor Alexander'.
has arrived here in very good health. 'He gave
audience to Count Barclay de.Tolly,
chief of the first army of the West and to the civil.
and military authorities.- The- Emperor's suite
consists of Counts ROrnaniow, Chancellorathe
Empire, Counts IC.otcLubey and Aractejew, the
Duke of Richelieu, and a great number of' Aides-
du-camp. During the absence ofoßoinanzow, the
port-folio for foreign affairs is entrusted to Count
A. Soltikow.
His Majesty left St. Petersburgh on the 2.lSt,
and at nine o'clock on the 23d arrived at Pleskow.
There he was received by the Civil and Military
Authorities ; at ten he went to church, and put up
prayers, kissed the relics and images, and was
afterwards complimented by the archimandrite .
and rector, Athanasius. After service, his Ma-
jesty, accompanied by Prince Schachoffsky, in
spected the hospital and other establishments of
the town. After dinner he resumed his journey.
As far as Pleskow, the Emperor travelled in a
sledge, on account of the great quantity of snoW.,
It is said, that he passed through Revel and Riga,
up the banks of the Drina, and throug.li Polockz.
The troops cantoned at \Vilna and in its vicinity
are so numerous, that four men are lodged in the
smallest cottage. The strength of the army is
variously estimated ; the Guards are said to
amount to 50,000 men. An Ukase of. the.sth
orders a levy of two men from every 500 through-
out the whole extent of the Empire.
PARIS, Mat 27.—We learn from Gerona, that
on the 4th instant an attempt to carry by assault
the fort of Maar°, built in the old garden of the
Capuchins, was made by the insurgents under
the command of Milans. They were supported
by two English ships of the line, a-frigate, and six
corvettes.
The Commandant received a summons to sutc
render, signtd Milans; in the name of Lacy, im-
porting, that if the fort was not immediately sur-
rendered, 10,000 men were ready to mount to
the assault. The Commandant, Chevillard, re-
plied, that a French officer never surrendered as
long as he had powder and'hall; and that if the
escort of the flag of truce did not retire in ten

minutes, it should be fired. upon.
On this unexpected reply the attack com-
menced : the cannon placed by the English near
the Capuchin convent, at the extremity of the
town, opened their fire, hut did no damage, ex-
cept to some houses used as barracks. A battery,
consisting of two large pieces of artillery, arid
placed on the side of the mountain, only injured
the town without touching the fort. The enemy
:,ueceetted in effecting a breach : at midnight they
attempted an assault on all points, but were vi-
gor--nisly repulsed. At last, hard pressed by his
Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, they ,were
compelled to reimbark, after losing a number of
men, and the French gained possession of the bat-
tery.
A great number of Russian Nobles, •who spent
last winter and the beginning of the spring in
France and Italy, are now on their 'return to
Russia, through Suabia, Bavaria, and the Aus-
trian States.

L 0 .N D 0 N;

WEDNESDAY, JUNE. 3, -1312.

In pursuance of our promise to communicate to
our Readeys th'e earliest intelligence respecting
the Negociation for the formation of a New Ad-
ministration, we yesterday afternoon published in
a Second Edition the following statement, which
we deriVed from a source that induced us to give
it implicit credit).—

“. We have just heard from an authority, in which
we are disposed to confide, that the Negociation
between the Marquis.WELLEsLEY and the heads
of the GRENVI; LE Party has been abruptly con-
chided, and upon such a ground as renders it
hardly likely that it will be renewed. •
c The Marquis WELLESLEY, we are:assured, de-
clared to Earl GREY, that in his arrangements
there would be four Cabinet appointments for his
Lordship's Party, upon which. Lord GREY IS said
to have answered,—” Then your Lordship in-
tends to have 'a majority in the Cabinet ?" to
which the Marquis answered in the affirma-
tive.—Lord GREY is said to have added,—" and
whom does your Lordship consider 'as the most
proper person to be at the head of the Admini-
stration ?"---The,Marquis, we understand, replied,
" myself, certainly,"-1 am to form the Admini-
stration, and I conceive I may reasonably expect
to fill that situation." Upon receiving this an-
swer, Lord GREY, WC are informed, signified
that the Negociation was at an end, and took his
leave."

If the above statement be correct,. and we
have every reason to believe that it is, it is evi-
dent that the Opposition are acting upon the Prin-
ciple which we attributed to them; viz. that
they, will not join in an Administration unless
they have the formation of it. Their conduct, in
refusing their assistance Under the Marquis WEL-
LESI:EY, cannot be accounted for on any other
ground. When' we contended that considerable
differences of political opinion subsisted between
the Noble Marquis and the Opposition, we received
a direct and an angry contradiction from the MOrn-
ingChronicle. 'We would ask,'; said that Paper on Sa-
turday, what differences in principle exist between
the Opposition and either Marquis WELLESLEY or
Mr. CANNING, On the leading features of our
present policy ? On the Catholic claims, for in-
stance ? on the Spanish war ? on- the prestrvation
of Peace with America ? or on the Bullion 'ques-
tion, so admirably stated and discussed in
Mr. CANNING's speech last year ? Shades
of difference on the policy of this or that
measure, or of this or that degree 'of pursuing
the same measure, may
,and will exist among per-,
sons who have not had the same facts to refer. to
for .forming their opinions ; but that diversities of
this nature should be set up with. a view of in-
flaming them into broad, fundamental differences
of principle, is downright nbsurdity, and can only
be the act of men who, in the desperation of seeing
their beloved places tern from their impotent
hands, would keep the country in its present
alarm,would perpetuate the ferment which they have
caused, would be ready to see ,their country be-
come a province of Francs, and would render the

Crown not worth the REaENT's wearing when he

gets it"

!fore, then, is a distinct, c.!eclarafion that there
is no such difference in principle between the
Marquis WELLESLLY and the Opposition, as to
preVent them from acting together in , Ad-.
ministration. Why then have they, at this
most awful crisis, refused their services to
their PRINCE and their Country ? the • answer
is obvious ; it is because power is their ob-
ject ; they will not act with those with whom
they say they agree in principle, unless they .are
invested with au absolute controul over the Coun-
cils of the country. We have .repeatedly asked
their supporters to tell us what are the grounds
upon which they test' their lofty pretensions,
but we have never been able, to obtain- an answer.
When they were in office hi 1806, with the ad-
vantage of the commanding talents of Mr. Fox to
support them, they were, as Mr. SHERIDAN very
candidly acknowledged, an unpopular Admi7
nistration: The Public witnessed their dis-
missal.
missal film office either with, undisguised satis-
faction, or with mortifying indifference. When
they ire baulked in their 'sanguine.. hopes of
poWer, at the commencement of the Regency, the
great mass of-his Majesty's subjects saw their dis-
appnintment either with the most vexatious ex-
ultation, or the most cruel apathy ; and we are
convinced that their present refusal to take a share
in the Government, will have precisely the same
effect upon the public mind. They admit the
pressing exigency of the times ; they proclaim aloud
the dangers which threaten the State—dangers
which they have increased. (unintentionally no
doubt) by the nature of their opposition, and yet
they will not make one effort to save their Coun-
try. The Public will appreciate their motives, and
decide upon their conduct.

In consequence of till's refusal of the Opposi-
tion to take a share in the Government, the-Mar-
quis, WELLESLEY, we understand, is employed in
forming an Administration,, of which Mr.' CAN-
NING, Lord MoIRA, Lord AlgtviLLE, and Lord
CHICHESTER, are liKely to be Menthers: it is
also stated, that as Lord SIDMOUTH• and Lord
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, will probably join in the ar-
rangement,

We understand, that though Lord GREY, as
we have stated, had signified his positive dissent
to the propositions of the Marquis WELLEst,EY,
yet we have since heard, that the formal letter
from Lords GREY and GRENVILLE, in CO/YrtfiCgOil,
was not expected till this day.

Last night we received Paris Papers to the 29th
ult. BUONAPARTE had reached Dresden, and was
expected to set out immediately for Warsaw.
The Emperor ALEXANDER had also joined his
Army. It is stated in an unofficial article, that
the French had crossed the Vistula in three places.

We this morning received Cadiz Papers to the
14th ult. but they contain very little news. We
are sorry to learn that fresh disputes have broken
out between the Governments of .Monte Video
and Buenos Ayres. The French have resumed
the bombardment of Cadiz, but With very little
e fleet.

Yesterday Lords WELLESLEY and Morro had
long audiences of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carl-
ton-house.

After the' dinner given by the Pitriccu RECENT,
on Monday, to his Royal Daughter, Bmthers, and
Sisters, his Royal Highness had a select party to
meet them,,to music.

Yesterday morning, a little before eight o'clock,
a man, of a very gentlenianly'appeatance, dressed
in black silk stockings, black small clothes; Mar:
seilles waistcoat, and dressing-gown, a white night-
cap or} his head, and carrying a small poker on
his left arm, walked through St. James's Park.
His uncommon appearance attracted a •number of
people to. follOAr him. He proceeded to York
House • ,and knocked at the door. The, porter,
observing his' very strange appearance, did not
open. the door ; however, 'he repeated his knocks-
'with a degree of cOnsequence, which induced the
porter to open the door. He then presented a let-
ter for the Duke of Yo' observing, that it was
upon State affairs, and' it must be given to him
directly. The porter told him it was impossible to
deliver the letter to hiS Royal Highness immedi-
ately, but 'he should have it 'very shortly, with
-which hd appeared satisfied, observing, die con-
tents were of the utmost concern for thebuke to
know, and said he should call again at ten o'cloCk.
He then left. York-house, and proceeded along
the Park, the crowd increasing, from his eccen-
tric appearance. .„

The following 'is considered 6. singular 'circum-
stance:—A Thrush, which 'for four years past has
built her nest in the garden of Mr. Anthony
Thompson, at St. Bees, has this year changed her
residence, but not quitted the premises. She haS
taken up her abode in, a bottle rack, and built he:
nest in the cavity of a bottle bottom ! . This her
cottage is not more than a couple of yards from a
back door, through which some or other of the
family are frequently passing. The Thrush is at
present in the quiet state of incubation, and so
familiarized to her old friends and protectors, as
to suffer them to stroke her hack whilst she feeds
• off their hands with the greatest composure.

ORDERS IN COUNCIL

FROM THE QUARTERLY REVI.E'.V
(Coutinued from our Paper of Yesterday.)

We need-not go far out of our w9y to see wlot
the effects have been of the Orders in Council (/°
the enemy. We have the testimony of BuLOO•
paste's own Ministers in the annual Expose of
state .of.. duce, _for the privations and distri
which are felt by all classes of the community 011;
account of the almost total extinction of forei:
Commerce. In 1808, when the Orders in Cour
cif were in full operation, the Minister of the
terior is obliged to notice the almost absolute

cessation of the maritime relations, and the maril
priiations for the French merchants, manuf3e"
ttirers, and. consumers.' •We need not be told, in,
deed, that the French merchants 'the manufl6'
turer, and: the agriculturist, arc all reduced to ti'"
most ruinous and deplorable ,condition ; that 'o'6
Capital of the lirst.is totally unemployed, his
rotting in p.ort; and his warehouses empty ; that
the manufacturer has ncr vent for his goods, 101
the farther for his produce.—llow is it possible to
persist in asserting that the blockade of the CO'
tinent ha; had no effect on the condition of the
enemy, When- we liar that his, custom-house re'
venues have fallen from 60 millions of livres
1807, to 18 millions in 1808, and still farther
1809 to 11 millions, that is to say, to less the
one-fifth part of their amount before the Ord'
in Council took elect ?—when we see this hater
of all commerce, employed in calculating b 0

The: inference to be drawn from the statentots

We mean not to assert that the extraordinary
increase of the value of imports and exports in the
years 1809 and 1810 was owing to the Orders in
Council ; but 'we think that we shall be borne'
out in assuming that the Orders in Council have
at least had no tendency to min (u-commerce
'or distress our manufacturers. That our manu-
facturers suffer distress is deeply.to be lamented;
ut those NVIO lead them to suppose that their
distress arises from the-Orders in Council grossly
deceive them. So long as Buonaparte decrees
that ,British produce and British manufactures,-
' wheresoever found and to whomsoever belong-
ing,' shall be seized and confiscated, it would
-answer no good purpose to ourselves to revoke
our Orders and remove 'every restriction. The
Orders in Council might be right or wrong in
point of belligerent policy ; they Might be right
or wrong in point of inter-national justice ; but
it is uti.erlY absurd, it is mere perverseness, to
Contend that our passive acquiescence under the
blockade -decreed' against our trade andinanufac-
lures -would haVe been less injurious to them
than even an imperfect) or otherwise questionable
tnetsure of retaliation.

Among other evils attributed to the Orders in
Council, is the mass of fraud, forgery, and per-

On the

Jury connected with the license trade.
zubject of that trade we have had occasion, in a
former number, to deliver a free opinion : and
We must here repeat the objection we then stated
- to the filiation by which that trade is represented
*ls the offspring of the Orders in Council. They
'have no necessary connection with each other.—
The license trade may exist, and has existed, and
does exist, wholly independent of those Orders.
' The fraud and perjury with which it is accompa-
hied existed in as great a degree or perhaps

greater before the birth of these calumniated
prders, and among the same class of men to
'which we believe it is still principally -confined,
-then known by the name of neutralizing agents,'
‘lr as an indignant American calls them, NO-
scoutarels.' It is now principally carried
ton in the Baltic-, where the Orders have no ope-
vation. Wherever it co-exists with the Orders
111 Council, it is not as a consequence of them,
but in derogation to them. It complicates the

Process, obscures the principle, and brings into
doubt. the justice of the original Orders : while
it shares, in common with the other.relaxations
°f those Orders, and we think more justly than
any of them, the fate of being thanklessly ac,

'opted by those for whose benefit it is professedly
ntended. if no relaxation had taken place in the
°rders iu Council of November, 1807, and no
licenses whatever had been granted, the effect of
the naval power of Great Britain would have been
felt by the enemy .more severely, and might even
bare given a different turn to, the war: We can-

boot but regret that the experiment was not tried
,upon the Northern Powers, by hermetically seal-
, lug the Baltic, and.not suffering a'Single vessel of
any description to pass -or repass the Sleeve,whieh
could effectually be, done by a small squadron of
frigates. A single season of such comfActe ex-
tlusion would have brought ,Russia and- Sweden
to sue for our alliance ; whereas, by the license
4Ystern, they have, enjoyed all the advantages of
Carryingon, without restriction and Without risk,
4, trade which to us has been a trade of mere ne-
cessity, discouraging to the increase. of British
Shipping and to the growth of British seamen.—
liad the Orders in Council been
,rigidly carried
1111,
" execution, had the license system never
t-xejsted, and had America, instead of thwarting,
itle,onded the views of Great Britain, we believe
n;leeti that the evils of own injustice'

4 trat commerce would long ere this have been
eQtored to its ancient footing.

ner; and Cropley the loser. • '
FORD AND JONES.—This battle, which was'
mhde for a subscription purse on the. ground, ex-
cited much attention, Ford having been known to
be, a tried goon man, who stood high on the box-
ing list ; and -Jones, who had never before ex-
hibited in a ring of London amateurs, was a re-
puted good man, of 20 pounds more weight than
Ford—and he' had the advantage of being 'under
the tuition of Richmond. The battle lasted one
hour And twenty minutes, and was most gamely'
contested.--4ones had superior strength—but
Ford's reputation as a fighter made him the fa-
'yourite. In the first rounds, Jones continually
lunged in at fast fighting, and hits were 'often
planted on both sides ; but the rounds generally
ended to the discomfiture of Ford,' who received
tremendous falls. Under these disadvantages,
alxions courage never forsook him to the
'last round : his length did'not give him.much -ad-
'vantage in placing hits, but he executed many.
He was also opposed' eo -a man of real bottom,
and Jones gave more,tremendous cross-buttocks
and hip-falls, than ever the celebrated Jan.
Belcher-did in any battle. He threw Ford in
tAVO instances from as high as his breast ; but
the latter, although often 'stunned, bored in at
action, as at the commencement of the conflict.
Strength was ultimately served, but Ford's friend's
resigned the combat. He Was blind of both eyes,
with a face 'hit in pieces, and. the body seriously
injured by falls, yet .he begged trial after trial,
until it was _absolutely necessary to carry him
away, to prevent fatal consequences. Jones is a
good right-handed 'hit, and will doubtless Tank
high as a 'fighter. He is also much puniShed.--
Gregson pledged himself to the care of'}'ord, and
he procured him surgical and other assistance.
Although the length and superior strength of
Jones, who; as observed, fought with fury, pre-
vented Ford executing 'as expected, yet it was a
battle exceeded by none in game on both sides.
Richmond seconded the winner; and Cropley the ,
loser.

A third battle, and a truly scientific one, which
lasted twenty minutes, was fought between two
lads in their teens, of the Mosaic tribe. Both
promise fo figure away at some future time, as
the .successors of the renowned • Mendoza and
Dutch Sam.
