"DOVE APRIL 19.-A flag of truce from Calais
was fallen in with half seas across by one of our

cruizers, and her dispatches landed here. The en-
velope was addressed to the Naval Commander at

Dover, but the dispatches themselves are said to be

addressed to our Minister for Foreign At ails. The
Captain irinnedi3teiy proceeded with them to Lou-

don.

'‘‘A Fiench naval officer accompanied the flagt

truce."

Nkre find that the above flag of truce i 3 addressed

from Ole French Minister of Foreign Affairs to lei;

Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

This morning a Heligoland mail arrived, bud it
brings no pews. BUONAPARTE, as appears by the
following lever, has adopted extraordinary preca,t-
tiOns to prevent our receiving any accounts of his
proceedings in the North :

HELIGOLAND, ArRIL 1.-I.Ve have not for a
considerable time been so long without any intelli-
gence from the Continent. Some boats \I hich left
thjs isLn ! about a fortnight ago are not rt.-turned,
a id, it is supposed, must have been capturtd. The
increased vigilance, which has been the cause of so
rigorous a prohibition of the intercourse with this
place, proceeJs from the wish of the French Go-
vernment to conceal the objed of the movements
Made by their troops to the North.—We are with-
out any local news.

Several reports were yesterday circu!afed of ac-
counts having been received from Lord WELLING-
Totq, but they were wholly v‘itbout foundation.—
One of them announced the cppture of Badoj,,z, but
added that Lord WELLINGTON bad lost an arm.'

Accounts have been received fiom the French
coast of a$ late a date as the 17th. They state, than
IitIONAPARTE had not then quitted Paris. His de-
parture was, however, every moment expeaed.
CAMBACERES has been ordered from Holland to
Paris, it is supposed, for the purpose of pre-
siding over the Councils in his absence. Many
of the Departments of France continue in a very
disturbed state, notwithstanding the summary pu-
nishments of Military Tribunals:

Atnerican Papers, of one day's.. later date than
those brought by the Armatta to Liverpool, have
been received. They. Can add, of course, but very
lit►le to the information before us. Mr. RA.NDOLPH
made a very eloquent speech on the pas,ing of the
Loan, but as it contained no abuse of Great Bri-
tain, it probably will not meet with the approba-
tion of our Patriots. He strenuously advises his
countrymen not to go to war with this country,
and adds, " repeal your non-importation act, and
put the two belligerents upon all equal footing in
fact—not in words only but in deeds.—If the spirit
we have manifeited is reprehensible in an individual,
.how much more, so in a nation ? Will you go to
war in a sullen manner—half ashamed—half reluc-
tant ? The public pulse, I assure you, must be
wrought up with some other tune, before the coun-
try will be ripe for war."

The UniversityOf Oxford has agreed to a Petition
against the claims sof the Roman Catholics. Some
Members who disapproved of the Petition haVe signed
a Protest, and with great propriety-transmitted it to
Lord GRENVILLE. The Party strained every nerve
to defeat this Petition, but they failed, and, we trust,
will every where fail, in the desperate attempts
which they are making to remove those guards which
have been provided by the wisdom of our ancestors,
for the security of the Established Church.

We should not trouble our Readers with again
mentioning the name of the contemptible impostor
whose insolent letter we published on Saturday, if
we were not convinced that there are innumerable
foreigners in his country, at'• this moment, as un-
deserving of The protection they experience,.and
as ready to do us every possible injury, as the
person called Baron GERANIII. The numbers
of foreigners in' England have, of late years, in-
creased.to an alarming degree, and_thete can be no
doubt .that many among them are the *arm rarti-
marls, if not the naive ugentq, of cur
,inveterate
enemy. 'The indiscriminate kindness (not to use a
stronger expression) . with which every forelgner is
received by persons of rank and fashion in this
country, affords them opportunities, of which- they
too often av-til themselves, Id injure botb the country
and the indi ideals that protect them. We are far
from regretting the hospitality which was shewn to
those•unfoftunate persons who were driven by their
inhuman countrymen to seek an asylum among us ;
our observations dO not apply to them : we should
be sorry 'to see the protection that has been extended
to them withdrawn. But we do feel it to be our
duty most seriously to call the attention of Govern-,
merit to the numbers, as well as to the conduct, of
the other foreigners, with whom this country is now
literally swarming.. An Englishman is nut suffered to
exist in France,except in a prison,and exposed toe% ery
indignity and every oppression that the most ran-
corous hostility can suggest, while, in this country,
Frenchmen, without any other claim but that of
being foreigners, are received, protected, and caress-
ed, while they -insult, laugh at, and' betray us. This
subjea appears to us one of the utmost importance.
At all times, the ut most care should be taken to pre-
vent our enemy from 'ending his emissaries among
us ; but surely, at such a moment as the present no
man can doubt the necessity of • redoubled precau-
tion.

The PRINCE REGENT'S I.4ee is to be held on

The recent movements of. the enemy's ships in
