MONDAY, JULY 27, 1812.

The Rover, capt. FINLEY, arrived at, Ports-
mouth on Saturday, with dispatches from Sir
HomE PoPHMI, biinging advices of further- ope-
rations
on the North coast of Spain. The Rover

left Sir TioistiE on Sunday off Castro, a port

to the westward of Whim, which the squaliron
under his.command had taken, with one hundred
and fifty prisoners.—The 'Alarine battalion were
fortifying it.—On the 1 lth instant, the squa-
- drop made two attempts to force an entrance into
Bilboa, hut the vigorouS fire kept up at Porto Gal-

lette obliged theme to retreat. The first attack was
• made by the Magnificent , Medusa, Rover, 4nci Lyra;
the next by the Surceillante, Rover, and Lyra. On
the 17th a landing was made at Guetaria;
Peninsula, with a strong fort on a hill, connect-
ed with the Continent by a,low neck of land ;
add several.pieces of artillery were conveyed to an
opposite height to reduce the place, when the ene-
my's forces suddenly appeared in such numbers,
that our marines and seamen were under the ne-
cesssity of re-embarking, leaving behind five or six
pieces of artillery, and aLieuteuant of the Venera-
ble, four Midshipmen, and between 30 and 40 men,
were made prisoners. Sir HO NLE had sent the
Constant gun-brig, with.a flag of TrUce to St. Se—
bastian, to effect their exchange for the prisoners
taken at Castro. The Venerable, Iris; Surveil-
lante , and Medusa, were left off Castro by the
Rover ; the rest of , the squadron were on the
coast to the westward. The Diadem, after land-
ing the marine battalion, went to Corurina.

Eve•ly person who haS had occasion to read at-
tentively, and to analyse the Bulletins of BuozsTA-
PARTE, must have. obaerved, that when he has no
• good news to communicate, or when he has dis-
asters, to 'conceal, he contrives, to make his Bul-
`, letins completely -unintelligible, though . they
- appear ,to -• contain a great . deal of informa-
tion. The accounts which he published after
his memorable defeat at Esling, and after the
battle-of Eylau„ were completely of that descrip--
tion. But when he has' Any real -success to an-
. nonnee, there is no difficulty in unarstanding his
Bulletins. Those relating to his vietory at Jena,
and his subsequent progress through the Prussian
dominions, were perfectly intelligible. We are
therefore always inclined to su!peet that BuoNA.
PARTE
.has, 'met with
,some serious disaster
when 'his Bulletins are studiously confused.=
The sth Bulletin, dated' Wilna, is so worded as
to set all attempts to understand it at defiance
vve may, however, infer,-that•all BUONAPARTE'S
efforts to' separate and to cut 'off some -of the
divisions of the Russian armyhave failed, because
he acknowledges that he made the' attempts, and
be does: not boast of 'having succeeded. We
may also infer, from the circumstance of his
last
,Ifulletin being dated. Wilna, the 6th July
(nine days after he entered it) that his pro-
gress, into the 'Russian territories has been
impeded by some 9bstaele or others of which
we yet remain in ignorance. He, indeed, says
that torrents 'of rain fell for thirty-six h9urs,
and that th•ousands of, horses perished in con-
sequence of that storm, and that convoys of artil-
' lery had been stopped by the mud. We are •
stangly inclined to think that the effects of
this " terrible stoirn " must have been much more
serious than he is disposed to confess. If these thou=
sands of horses were killed by the storm, it is likely
that the loss of men must have been nearly.eqtial.
But we are not told Whether these horses were
employed in his cavalry, or in transporthig his
rnigazines ; in either case the loss must embar-
rass him very much. We must, however, wait for
the Russian account, before we can attempt to

form any precise judgment upon the events that
have taken place. All we know for certain is, that
IitIONAPARTE entered Wilna on the 28th June—=
that he made a variiety of rapid movements, in the
hope of cutting offa portion of the Russian Army
—that he did not-succeed—that from some cause
or other he lost several thousand horses, and that
on the 6th July he was still at Wilna, where he
boasts that every thing was "‘ organized."

We are, we confess, more concerned than sur-
prised to learn, that the Americans have actually
commenced hostilities against this Country;
Cap-
tain of the Navy, arrived last night
at the-Admiralty with Dispatches from Admiral
SAWYER, 'at Halifax, which state that an Ante-
.rican squadron,
.consisting of three frigates and
_ a brig, fell in with his Majesty's frigate 'the
Belvidera, and immediately, attacked her. The
Belvidera maintained a running fight for some
hours, and arrived safely et Halifax. After she
had, qnitted the American squadron, she fell in
witli three American merchantmen, and captured
hthem, but, upon their arrival at Halifax, they•
.We're liberated..- Admiral SAWYER immediately
sent a flag of truce to New York, to demand an
explanation of this unprovoked attack ; at the
same titne,:,he sent orders for the whole of his.
•
By:etch-on to assemble at Halifax,. The same 'feel-
ing which ha hitherto induced us to-abstain from
commenting in-strong language upon the conduct
of the American Government restrains:usat preS!enth.
As thif country has made a very great sacrifice
in order, to .conciliate America-,- we-shall wait to
see . the effect. of that concession upon the -Arne-
riCan,Government. This hetion took place upon
'the 23d of .Tfine, of course. some time before the
news of the-repeal.Of the Orders in Council could
reach America. ,

The following article having appeared only in .a
part of our impression on Saturday, we insert
it again 'this day:—

PROCLAMATION.

" The French troops have passed the borders
of our Empire—a complete treacherous 'attack is
the reward of the observance 'of Our alliance. For
the preservation. of peace I have exhausted every
- ,
possible means consistently with the honour of my
throne and the advantage of my people. All my
• endeavours, have been in vain. The Emperor NA-
POLEON has fully resolved in his own mind to
ruin Russia. The most moderate proposals on
qur part, have remained without an answer.—
This sudden surprise has shewri in an unequi-
vocal manner, the groundlessnlss of his pacific
promises, which he lately repeated. There, there-
fore, remain no further steps for me to take, but
to have recourse to arms, and to employ all the
means that have been granted me by Providence to
use force against force. I place full confidence in
the zeal of my people and on the bravery, of my
troops.. As they-are threatened in the middle of-
their families, they will defend them with their
national bravery 'and energy. Providence will
crown with success our. just cause. The defence
of our native country, the maintenance of our in-
dependence and national honour, have compelled •
us to have recourse to -arms. I will not sheath
my sword so Ipng as there is a single enemy within
My Imperial bOrders.
(Signed) " ALEXANDER."

We have often expressed our regret that , the
.Nobility and people of fortune in this country
.should engage foreign servants; and many rea.
sops may be properly urged against so repreiren-
sibl6 a practice. The horrible attack on theDuk e
• •
of CUMBERLAND by/ SelPs, and the more dreadful
event respecting the Count and Countess D'EN-
TRAITJES, cannot, however, fail to snake a strong
impression upon those who retain foreigners in
their service. This practice denoted a want of
regard to our country at all times, but it' is much,
more dangerous at present than it was at any 'for-
mer period. It is evident that the fatal conse-
.
quences of the French Revolrttion have spread
ever every part of the Continent. In France it
produced a general relaxation of all moral ties,
and the same effect, no doubt,- has proportion-
ably operated wherever French power or French
influence has extended. But this is not all : the
progress of BUONAPARTE, and his controul over the
Continental States, have excited a sense of insecurity
in the Governments of all those. States, and in a
great degree annihilated all sense, of patriotism in
the people. The number of desperate adventurers
who have poured into this country, have contri-
buted to the diffusion of their own baneful prin-
ciples, and the corruption of many of our coun-
trymen. We see the operation of their principles
in many of our 'periodical writers, some of whom
seem, by their productions, to be ignorant that
there are any laws against attempts to sap the
foundation of our Government, or are disposed to
'brave the exercise of those laws. Such writers
have, doubtless, caught the contagion of French

principles, and, animated by the success of some
of the French Revolutionists, and forgetful of the
fate of others, seem to think that, by. overthrow-
ing ,our present Establishment in Church and
State, they should rise to 'affluence and authority
upon its ruins: Much of the mischief might soon
be lessened by a vigilant scrutiny into the charac-
ters and connections of all foreigners among ns,
from whatever country they came. There are in
this country aliens of all descriptions, and under
various disguises': some are degenerate Nobles:
from different-States, who; if tlfey ever were men
of prOperty and princiul, have been rendered des-
perate by. a reverse offortune, and are callable of
any mischief. There are others who assunietitles
to which they have no pretensions, and who find
too many of our credulous countrymen easy dupes
to Weir artifices. Some such characterS as these
have been -detected, and properly, sent 'out of the
country; but there is still a numerous tribe of.
them among us that demand all the 'vigilance .of
the Government. We see by the daily escape
French prisoners, some of Nv ho ip have, obtained a"
military rank in their country which ought to give
them some sense of character, and some regard to
reputation, how destitute they are of every feeling
of delicacy, and every principle of honour ; and
therefore what can be expected from foreigners
in general 'who are not equally conspicuous ? We
therefore hope that this influx ol' foreigners will
not only prompt our Rulers to be crinStantly oil
the alert to drive all such dangerous characters
from the country, but.that our people of rank and
fortune will be induced, 'by attention,to their own
welfare; as well as by a sense of patriotism and re-
gard for their countrymen, to dismiss their foreign'
domestics, and to employs none but the natives of
Great Britain, who, whatever may be their follies
or their errors, are, as a people, more truly esti-
mable and truse-worthy than any other on the face
of the globe.

WINDSOR, JULY 26.—The PRINCE REGIIENT ar-
rived a quarter before three o'clock, and dined
with the QUEEN, PRINCESSES, and Princess
•CHARLOTTE of WALES. After dinner the. PRINCE
ItEGENT, QUEEN, and an the PRINCESSES', went in
three of her Majesty's carriages,. and the Princess
CHARLOTTE of WALES, in her phaeton, accompa-
nied by Lady CLIFFORD, to Surley Hall, to see,
the young Gentlemen come up the river.
Yesterday the Duke of YORK arrived at twelve
o'clock, and set off for Oatlands at five.

This morning Princess CIIARLOTTE Of WALES,
accompanied by Lady CLIFFORD and COL DES-
BROW, went to St. George's Chapel, and heard a
Sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. HEATH; after-
wards returried to the Castle.

Yesterday the Gentlemen of Eton College had
their annual regatta on the water, in six boats, to
Bovney, opposite Surley Hall. 'On a meadow,
tables were spread, with a sumptuous collation.—
Their dresses were of the naval uniform; and the
coxswain of each. boat wore a beautiful fancy dress.
They were accompanied by the band, of the 29th
regiment, which played many martial and other
airs. They returned in the same order to -Wind-
sor Bridge at nine o'clock, and were saluted by
guns firing; and a grand display of fire-works.—
The ,procession concluded at half past nine
o'clock.:

His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT\ eater-
tained a select party at dinner yesterday, at Carl-
ton House.

The Duke of CLARENCE, on Saturday, left town
for Bushy. His Royal Highpess and Miss FITZ-
CLARRNCE are expected back this day.
A Gentleman arrived yesterday at the Foreign
Office in Downing-street. He was stated to have,
come from St. Petersburgh, but last-from Paris ;
the nature of his mission did not transpire ; be
was a Imig time closeted with the Earl of LIVER-
POOL.

• Kensington Garden". yesterday exhibited a bril-
liant assemblage of -elegant females. The predo-
minant costume was"; enitage bonnets with tw'b
white ostrich feather', careles.sly.'drooping over
the right eye. Pea-green and white pelisses lined
with pink. '

The Parks were yesterday filled with company;
amongst the elegant carriages were ,the Duchess
of St. ALBANS, the Duchess of MONTROSS,
Countess of ALBEMARLE, Countess of HARROW-
yiCOUTIteSS' CA.STLIMEAGI!,, ViSCOURteSS MRI.-
BOURN., &c.

Some doubts, it is said; licting arisen as to the
sincerity of the late Count D'.tiCTRAIGUES! attach-
ment:to 'this country; seals; by order of Govern-
ment, were put upon: his papers. His Solicitor,
it seems, contended that,• as the Count was
naturalized, his papers ought to be sacred, unless
there were strong groundsfor suspicion, and he
therefore placed his seals upon them likewise, till
the arrival of the Count's, Son in town, who was
expected 'every moment. As rumours of this na-
ture have_ been confidently. eirculated, we have
thought' it proper to notice them ; but as the
Count Was highly respected for his knowledge,
abilities, and amiable manners, and was admitted
into the confidence of Some of the first characters
among us., we trust that these rumours are wholly
without foundation. At the same time, it is 'a
duty we owe to the public not to let them pass
without observation, as we know that our enemy
is constantly at Work to effect-our destruction,
and has many emissaries in this country, as' well
as in every other, ready to promote his machi-
nations. It ought to be mentioned that Lawrence,
the murderer, received a letter by the post a
day or two before the horrid transaction took
place, which threw 'him into the strongest
agitations of passion. Ile bit it, tore it into a
thousand 'pieces, and burnt it immediately after
be read it, and gave no intimation of its contents.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, Jr.; Li 25.

.ddmiralty-Office, July 25, 1812.

Vice Admiral Murray has, in his letter to John,
Wilson CrOker, Esq. of the 21st instant, reporteo
the arrival at Yarmouth of the Eole FrenCh pri;
vateer, of 14 guns .(only five mounted) captured
on the 16th, neat Heligoland, by the boats 0
his Majesty's sloops. OSprey, Biitoinart, and Le-
veret. .

PLYMOUTH, JULY 25.--;-Arrived yesterday. h 0
Majesty's schooner Sealark, with her prize, the
French privateer La Ville de Caen, which she car
tired on Tuesday last after a desperate action.,
On Tuesday morniug his Majesty's schoohei
Scalar*, of 10 guns, LieutOant WARRAND, (re".
cently fitted out at this port) chaced a strange,
sail by signal- from the:- Start station. Wilco:
the chace Was first perceived by the Sealark,
she was in the act of capturing two
.merchant
vessels ; but, alarmed for ,his safety, Mon-
..
-sieur crowded all • sail• before an enemy of
inferior force, and attempted to escape. Atthree
o'clock'in the ..afternoon, after a pursuitof seven
hours, the chace «us closed with, and an action
commenced,. during which the- erm Ofthe Seaktek
boarded. and re-bOarded Several times. British
prowess at length prevailed, afty a desperate
contest of an hour
,and a half, when the chace
struck. She proVed to be a French lugger -priva-
teeil, called La Ville de. Caen, Captain Cocitm•Yof
16 gnus and eighty men, and to have been 00
one day from
.the Isle de Bas. The Sealark had
seven men killed and twenty-three wounded;
among the former was Mr. PURNELT.. the der •
The privateer had her Captain and. 14 men kille4
and 16 men and officers wounded. The schooner
and her prize now lie off Richmond Walk.--
The latter is so completely battered to pieces, al.
to have nearly lost every semblance.ofi vessel.;
while the for Mer seems to have received but little
injury. The spectacle is inspiring, arid adds ail-
other to the thousand prOofs already on record,
that discomfiture and disgraCe must attend everY

attempt of our inveterate foe
.to wrest our nhai-
time rights .from the stout arms of those who de.'
fiend them.

The Fortunee frigate is appointed convoy for
Portsmouth, an sails. to-morrow: she has on
board a 'detachinent of Marines to join Lac'
COCHRANE'S expedition fitting out at Portsinodtli..
Arrived and sailed again-on a cruize, the Lord
Cochrane, hired armed brig ; also arrived the
Fancy cutter, from the Channel fleet ; the Phoenix,
TAYLOR ; and William; BEER, from Wales.
Sailed the American brig Java, CANDLER, far
the River.

DEAL, JULY 25,.—The General Eaton, Americati,.
ship, arrived here_ last night from Calais, with
passengers, ,by whom we have been favoured with
the 4th and sth Bulletins of the French Artily
.which, it appears has sustained a most serious dis'
aster by a sudden change of 'weather : the loss of
horses is stated at some thousands, but the loss of,
men is not so succinctly given, though in France,
where the ambiguous language of the Bulletin i. .
derstood, the loss of, men is calculated upon the
same ratio. The Russian war is extreTcly utipo" .
