Admiral DURHAM arrived off Uiliant, on the 23d
ult. with the Venerable, Elizabeth, Cumberland,
and Plantagenet. of the line, and the Osprey and
Comet sloops of war, and made sail to the South-
West, to look after the French Squadron.

The Gazette of Saturday contains the appoint-
ment of Lord BUCKINGHAMSHIRE to be President of
the Board of Controul. Lord SIDMOUIR will kiss
bands in the course of this week.

This morning we received Corunna Papers to the
30th ult. They state, in the most positive manner,
that very large bodies of French troops have quitted
the Peninsula. Their destination is supposr•:d to be
Vie North of Europe; but it is not unlikely that
BuoNArAttrE may find their presence necessary in
France. Atall events, the objea must be to him of
great impor!ance, that induces him to withdraw his
troops irom Spain at this junaure.

We learn from ihe French Papers, that another
Armistice, for 45 days, has been concluded between
the Russians and Turks. We most earnestly hope
that it will terminate in a Peace, because the

continuance of the war can answer no other pur-
pose bat that of promoting the views of BUONA..
PARTn. These Papers give us no information re-
speaing the affairs of the North, nor do they
hint at the probability of BUONAPARTE'S departure
from Paris. They, however, confirm the accounts
of the insurrections in Normandy, and of the
summary execution of the insurgents. We did
not ex pea to find any information upon this sub-
ject in the French Papers, but probably BUONA-
PARTE thought it was too nototious to be kept a
secret, and he might hope that the fate of the
inhabitants of Caen might operate as a warning to the
people in many oiher parts, of France who have
evinced a disposition to insurrection. The French
Papers attribute the discontents which prevail in
France entirely to the dearness of provisions: we have
11U st,s;:ig .ic4Gon to believe that they proceed
from more permanent causes. We have no doubt
that they have occasioned the delay of BUONAPARTE'S.
departure for the North.

The American Papers, the arrival of which we
announced on. Satu►day, bring very little news.—
The Congress, though they appeared so anxious for
war with this country, seem now to be very unwill-
ing to raise either men or money : the motion for
raising a permanent force of 80,000 men has been
rejeCted; and the resolution for laying a duty on
Silt, met with the situe fate. The-following are
extraas from them :

NEW YORK, FEB.. 28.—The dispatches received
at Washington by the Constitution, are not suppos-
ed to be of consequence. Nothing is said of a
treaty. Mr. BARLOW,. writes to Mr. FULTON, that
our affairs have a favourable aspen.
The Bill authorising a loan of eleven millions, at
6 per cent. per annum, passed to a third reading on
Monday, by a majority of 58. This sum, by the
Bill, is reimbursable any time within 12 years.
FEB. 29.—The Navy Bill that passed the House
some time ago was debated in the Senate to-day.—
The Senate have proposed the building of 20 ad-
ditional frigates. There is some piospea of their
agreeing to build that or a smaller nutnber.

thitca 3.—The Editor of the National 'litchi-
'-gencer, notices the arrival at Washington, of Lieut.
Mott It is, with dispatches from France and England,
and observes, " It is understood that our Envoy,
Mr. BA ULow, was received in a vety favourable man-
ner by the Emperor of France ; that be had pre-
sented interesting explanations on the subject of
his mission, and was then engaged in the discussion
of them with the Minister of Foreign Relations. It
appears also that the dispatches from our Govern,
inert to Mr. BARLow, transmitted by the Hornet,
had been presented to him by Lieut. 13.1npLe."
It is said that no change had taken place in Eng-
land at the time the Constitution left that country
of a favourable character. The dispatches from
Mr. Ru:rsELL, however, are understood to be of an
old date, and mostly duplicates.

The return of the Hornet may be daily expeaed ;
by which vessel we hope to receive information re-
speding
,out foreign concerns, of a more decisive
mature.

Lord SIDMOUTH has had daily interviews with
Mr. PERCEVA L for a week or ten days inst.
The ensuing St. George's is to be celebrated
with much splendour. It is said the,PRINCE RE-
GENT Will give a grand entertainment upon the oc-
casion.
