Intelligence was this morning received at tie Ad-
thiralty, that the Tremendous and Poic'liers had re-
turned to their station, off Blest, after an unsuccess-
ful Chace of the French Squadron. His Majesiy's
ships lost sight of the L'Orient squadron in the se-
cond day of the chase, in thick weather. The
enemy was last seen in lat. 49. 30. N. long. g. 30.
W. steering N.W. Sir R. KING has six sail of the
line with him in the Bay, on the look out for the
enemy.

This morning a Heligoland Mail arrived; it brings
no news of importance, except the confirmation of
the commencement of hos►ilities bet \yeen the Rus •
giant) and the Turks.

Paris Papers to the 18th instant have been re-
eeived, from which we have made some important
extrads. We have frequently had occasion to re-
-mark, that BUONAPARTE rarely ever misses an Op-
portunity of insulting those whom he has injured,
but in the documents which we have this day ex-
tratSled from the French Papers, he has ex-
ceeded himself : he seems now deterrnined bold-
ly to set mankind at defiance, and to derlare,
that there shall be no public law on the Con-
tinent but his wills • and that his convenience
is the only tenure by which Sovereigns are
to continue to hold their dominions. We are aware
that he has long ailed upon this principle ; but we
really did not think that he would have the
hardihood boldly to acknowledge it. The Docu-
menls to which we allude are, the Reports of the
Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of War,
and the Itcport of the Senate upon the Senalus Con-
suiturn of the loth. In the last mentidned Report,
BUONAPARTE lays down what he is pleased at pre-
sent to denominate the Law of Nations,with regard
to Neutrals, and proceeds as usual to declai'n against
Great Britain for violating this law of his own inn-
nufadure. Bi 3 what will scarcely obtain credit
is, that he boldly declares to the world that
the Berlin and Milan Decrees were made after our
Orders in Council, and to counteract their effect.
We are clot surprised when BUONAPARTE gives false
accounts of the events in the Peninsula, because his
slaves have no means of detesting b:s falsehood; hut
to assert that as a fad, which et ery man in Fiance
knows to be untrue, shews a contempt for public
opinion, which we have not observed before, even
in him. We shall be glad to bear what the Ame-
ricans will say to his declaration that the Berlin and
Milan Decreesare in full force. Here, indeed,Buotra.-
PARTE condescends to speak the truth, because it is no
longer of any use to h m to conceal it ; but he cer-
tainly has placed the American Government, and
those persons in this country who espouse their
cause, in a most embarrassing situation, Our
Readers will see, from the other reports, that Buo-
NAPARTIL evidently considers himself on the brink of
a new war, and that he is adopting every means •
in his power to repair the dreadful losses which his
armies have sustained in Spain.

Major OTT° FOAELLIS has arrived in town from
Sweden, with dispatches for the British Government.
There is no doubt ti4at they are generally of an mi.;
cable nature, but no particulars have transpired.
The report, therefore, that the Swedish Govern-
ment has demanded a subsidy, has no other founda-
tion btu the speculation of those by whom it was
circulated. The Swedish Government seems at
present disposed to co-operate against the French ;
we shall be glad to see that disposition aEled upon.

His Majesty's ship Hotspftr arrived at Portsmouth
yesterday : on Saturday she fell in with the Medi-
terranean convoy, under his Majesty's ships Pelorus,
Iphigenia, and SelaPiS, much dispersed; it was then
blowing a gale of wind ; the men of war had not a
sail set, and their cf:nvoy were labouring very hard
off the Isle of Biss.

Parc of the fleet put into Plymouth on Saturday,
and it is supposed that the remainder wwnt fur

The new Boat of Admiralty will be immediate-
ly formed, when Lord MELVILLE will enter upon
the duties of First Lard of the Adtnirdlty on Wed-
nesday next. Mr. HAY is to be his private Secre-
tary. It is now said, that only Sir RICHARD BICKER-
TON and Mr. BULLER retire from the Board. Ad-
miral HOPE and Mr. W. Durum are mentioned as
tLe new Members.

Yesterday the CHANCPLLOR of the ExcnrQUER
gave a grand dinner to a large party, at his liouv in
Downing street.
