DtTTCIj AND 6-EiiitlriN PAPERS.

Sect of attack, as they did for the en3de of conclud-
ing it;
One of the bind) Papers contains a pretended
letter from Cadiz, stating that the English troops
were about to re.enab;rk, in' consequence of the

total want of spirit and discipline of the Spanish Sol-
_

diers; the letter adds, tint their misconduct at the
=late attack on Matagorda, had completely disgusted
the English. A more clumsy fabrication never ap-
peared in a public Paper; Accounts have reached
this country of a date long Subsequent Co this pre-
tended Dutch letter, which state, that no idea of a
re-embark:llion. was entertained, and the Spadish
troops could not .shew any want of spirit in the de-
fence of Matagorda; because that Fort was most gal:.
lantly defended by British troops.

The collowing Bulletin was issued this morning
resPefl his Royal Highness / the Duke of Cum-
BERLAND :

" His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumatitr. AND has
laad a good riight, and is iimeh better taus morning."

Them was a numerous concourse of t;oth, sexes
this day to see the opartinent in. which ,the horrid
•
scetv! cccnrred, %xi-0 were ail admitted in due turn,

and rtc:-..ivcci 4... • r attention.

In addition to the American Papers which we
'mentioned yesterday, some more, and of a later date,
arrived in the course of the day. They state, that
the Juno had arrived with Mr. PINCKNEY'S dis-

patches, but that they had produced no effect upon
-*the American Gorernmenr. A Bill has been
brought into Congress, for imposing a duty of 50
per cent. upon all merchandize imported either
from Great Britain or France.
The frigate the John Adams, which carried Out to
America the account Of 131/014APARTE'S recent atis
of violenCe against American property, had- not ar-
rived when these Papers were published.
If We had not repeatedly witnessed how much
the American Government is disposed to bear
from &ance, and with, what exemplary pa--
tieuce they submit . to every insult' and every
injury which BrONAVARTE 'al 4y' think fit to inflict,
fe should think (ha the intelligence, of which the
.rohtz Adams is the bearet, would lead to a rupture
between the two countries. If they- submit quietly
to this new aEt of violence, we can only say, that
BrIONAPARTE knows* bow to deal with the Amer--
oans much better than we do.

EA&ItS of viz ELBE, MAY 18.—All private let-
ters from Holland and Brabant, unanimously con-
cur in stating that. the armaments in the Northern
ports of France, as well as those of Holland, have
been doubled since the presence of BUONAPARTE at
Antwerp, and his visit to the sea-ports lately ,ceded
by Holland.--.A courier has been sent to the King of
Holland, with the peremptory request.to wait a se-
cond time on his brother at Antwerp. NAPOLEON
has been observed, during the whole of his'stay
there, to have frequently transaCted business in his
closet with only his brother JEROME, formerly a
French Admiral, his brother Louis, and the Mini-
ster of Marine. The King.of Holland, during his
former stay, dispatched several couriers to Amster-
dam, &c.• with the most peremptory orders to em-
ploy a considerable additional nurnbA. of hands in
the dock-yards, • and continue working on the ar-
maments bo[il by day,and night. Of their progress '
he receives, every day or two, a most minute report.
During BLIONAPARTE'S stay at Antwerp, Couriers
weret.;ispatehed to St. Petenburgli, Stockholni, and
Coienhagen,whose Cabinets are, it is said, informed
of tile treat maritime plans NAPOLEON intends to

execute this sumtner, and io ,A blob:tile two above-
mentioned brotbers are bisonfidants. ' '

The Toulon fleet too is said to be quite ready
for bea, and its destination is said to be Nl)les,
where the army and flotilla arc in a most re-

spectable state,_ and. expected speedily 16 sail on
a great expedition, which though it may be
guessed at, is, hocaever, so dexterously managed,.
as to remain a perfect secret with regard to •its real
object." Though the rumour of a war with Tur-
key has of late sotneWhvat subsided, yetait is certain
that Marshal MARMOT (Duke of Ragusa) is to
. _
command the French forces on the Turkish fron-
tiers in Dalmatia, and 'the Prince of Eckmuhl.,
another in Crotia. •
It- has been observed, that since the arrival of
some French naval and military agents in Sweden,
orders have been given to tit out a great number of
gun-boats at Stockholm, and the armaments and
preparations at Carlscrona are also increased. With
this view the new Prince Royal goes to the South
of Sweden, and proceeds as far as Helsingburg.

VIENNA, MAY 18.—Our Court Gazette contains
the follo‘Ving article frqm Turkey:—
" Since the battle of Silistria, the Russians main-
tain their position on the rig!tt bank of the
Danube, in the rear of the entrenchments of
Husova. The season does not yet admit of a re-
gular siege of that place. Giurgieu, Simmiza, and
Rusa, on the deft banks of the Danube, are all in

the best state or defence. They are mere'y otteiVs
ed at some distance by the Russians. The n•ene-;
ral in Chief, Prince BAGRATION, seems to • rest
as hiS hopes of success on. his junction with
the Sprvians,: but that nation is so much dis-
treSSed by its own anarchy) that it is impossible
for the Servians to make any other exertions than
such as tend to improve their own situation, and re-
store order among them."
