A Flag of Trace sailed from Dover on Saturday
with the Russian and French Messengers on board
for Calais ; and yesterday another Flag of Truce
sailed from the same place with Mr. Surma on board.

Three Messengers arrived from Malta and Sicily,
with the Mail of Saturday. One of them brought dis-
patches from Mr. ADAM, who had had three confe-
rences with the Gwen V 1202 at Constantinople--
13y advices received by the Tqrkey Company, it ap.
pears that Mr. Amtut proceeded to Constantinople in
fourteen-oared Turkish galley, and the most sanguine
hopes are entertained of the speedy re-establishment
of peace between the two countries. This prospect
offers some consolation in the present distressing state,
Of things in Spain. MITSTAPRA BAIRACTAR, the pre-
sent Vizier, is said to unite to great energy of cha-
racter and attachment to his country, a strong wish
to remain at peace ivith all the other powers, and a
determination to relinquish the pacific system only
when called to do so in self-defence.
The other Messengers brought dispatches from
Mr. Damtatoon and Sir J. SIVART, announcing the
return to Messina of the troops which had been sent
to co-operate with the Patriots in
,Catalonia. The
transports were met 911 their pongee by.ofrigate from

however, refused ; and on the 15th, when tote lad

being sent back to Messina with his garrison, withots
being considered prisoners of war ; and another, that

SPAIN.

Ne further accountshavebeea received from Spain,
bet it is reported that Mr. CANNING is in possession of
the sth, 6th, and 7th Bulletins of the French army—
the last of which is dated the 22d ult. and announces
that the advanced guard of the French army would
feta Madrid en the 25th. They state further suc-
cesses tithe armies—give the positions of the respec-
tive oh:lnns—and though the defeat of CASTAXO3 is
est mentioned, yet enough is said to shell that they
thought him completely in their power..-Such is the ;
Tort, but whether true or false we know not.
hinisters, it is also said, received by the last con-
,vernee, a letter from Colonel GRAHAM, their agent
et csaroos's army, giving a very gloomy picture of
the sate of the Patriot force. In all Spain, he says,'
there have at no time been 120,000 men embodied-f-- ,
that ewe are no magazines, no reserves,. and that
there is no ardour nor union. The South of Spain
is represented as being actuated by a more patriotic
spirit than the North.
A letter from a British Officer states, that a Conn.
01 of War was held at Astorga on the 27th ult. at
which it was resolved that an attempt should be made
by General BAIRD, about the 29th, to turn the head
tithe French column at Benevento ; and that notice
was sent to General Moone, that he might march at
thesame time anti attack the same French column
Esan the South, and that in the mean time (on the
am) General BAMD went to consult with ROMAN&
st Leon.—We do not think any reliance should, at
the present moment, be placed on any of the private
accounts in circulation excepting sech as are corrobo.
rated by the Government accounts.
The following is the Bulletin which was transmit-
ted to Portsmouth, when orders were sent to disem-
bark the 3d and 4th Regiments of Dragoon Guards,
which were destined for Spain :

loteiligentehas been thlOnorning received from SitD. BAIRD,
&WI Astoria, the 29th November, stating that he had just re-
vived a dispatch from Sir J. Moose, at Salamanca, giving an
smut, that bad been sent to him from Madrid, of the complete
flint of the Spanish army commanded by General CASTANOt
"IR consequence thereof, Sir J. Moo az intended to retire upon

The DiLDALUS captured, a few days before, the
Lord Mu'grave, Captain GOODALL, carrying a flag,
as Admiral of Hayti. She had on board a quantity
of provisions, and 150 of CHRISTOPHea troops, pro-
ceeding to St. Marc, for the relief of that place. The
reason Captain INGLEFIELD assigned for the capture
of the Lord Mulgrave was, that she was found cruiz-
ing on the high seas without having any papers on
board. The English sailors were impressed, the black
soldiers put on board a vessel in company, and the
ship, with her Captain, sent to Jamaica. With respect
to the remainder of Captain GOODALL4S squadron,
consisting of three ships, it was generally believed •
they had been captured by PETIONSS naval forces, as
they were not to be seen in Gonaives, Port de Paix,
or any of the harbours belonging to CHRISTOPHEI
where they had been previously at anchor ; besides,
three vessels of their description were seen in. the,
Mole,_ the. rendezvous of PETION'S sqadron. The
7ERT hrig.was dispatched by the PiIiDALUS to Cape
Fi-intisis from whence the
,Mulgrave had sailed, to
,inform diAltfoilift-oflier capture. The Black Chief
_war extremely indignant at hearing the intelligence,
and inquired of the Master if he came there to mock
him, by first capturing.his ohip,.,and then coming to
tell hilt of his misfortutie:
Fourteen French privateers, fittest out and belong-
inis,to the port of Sumane, in that: part of St. Do-
mmg,o occupied by the French, had of late committed
ccinsiderable mischief in the seas in that quarter.
They had captured 24 British vessels, and carried
them into Sumane. The DJEDALUS, PERT brig, FLY-
ING Fish schooner, and some smaller ships of war,
were preparing to storm the place, for the prpose of
recovering the prizes. It had, however, been made
very strong, the crews of the privateers ying raised
batteries upon•theheiAhts, to oppose any attack made
upon them by the blush.
An expedition Was fitting out at Jamaica for the
purpose of going against the city of St. Domingo.

We have received intelligence from the Island of
St. Domingo to the latter end of October, by which
it appears, that the army of CHRISTOPHE has been
reduced by his rival Perron to a very inconsiderable
force. CsturrOPHE, it was supposed, intended to
escape, with the treasure he had amassed, but there
was little hope of his effecting it.
'On the 26th of October, Captain INGLEFIELD, of
the DLDALUS frigate, was off St. Marc, and went on
shore to consult with PETION, who was in person
before that fortress, with 5000 troops under his com-
mand, preparing to take it by storm. On that morn-
ing CHRIsTOPHE'S troops, being nearly destitute of
provisions, made a sortie, but they were repulsed with
considerable loss.

Hrnz Pater.—Yesterday the gloomy state of the
atmosphere proved a check to the gay pedestrians who
have lately ventured to display winter fashions in the
Parks. The horsemen were, however, very numerous:
one of them met with an aukward accident. The
horse not relishing the spur, reared and plunged so
ungallantly, that his rider was thrown several yards
behind him. The furious steed, after the accident,
ran off at full gallop, and was caught by a servant
at Kensington Gardens gate. The horse was then
brought back to the dismounted Knight, whose left
knee and shoulder were dislocated by the fall. In this
situation he was removed from the scene of exhibition
in a hackney-coach, lamenting the unfortunate event
of his equestrian exploit.
THE How. Miss PHIPPS.—This amiable young
Lady, the daughter of Lord MULGEAVE, expired on
Sunday, the 4th ult. She was seized with a brain
fever a week before her dissolution, and never after-
wards recovered the use of her mental faculties. The
circumstances attending her death were particularly
distressing.—Her amiable mother being in the last
stage of pregnancy, the domestics were enjoined not
to give the least intimation of her decease. Her
Ladyship was, however, safely delivered of a son on
Thursday last, and after she had been thought suffi-
ciently recovered, his Lordship undertook to make the
melancholy communication of their daughter's death,
which she received with becoming fortitude and re-
signation.
Thurs&ty evening, between nine and ten o'clotk,
as Mr. Hill, of Webber-row, Blackfriars road, was re-
turning home, he was stopped at the wall of the Asy-
lum, by two footpads, one of whom held a pistol to
his head, while the other robbed him of his watch and
money. Mr. HILL, gave the alarm the moment the
villains had quitted their hold, by calling out “ stop
thief," but they effected their escape.
Bow-srazer—Friday, Mr.F—, a Jew,- accused his
servant, Jane Matthews, an interesting girl of 19, of
having. pawned his property to the amount of 40/.
The girl, in her defence, made it appear that, in re-
turn for particular favours granted to the informant,
she had experienced nothing but ill usage, even
though she had laid out money for him, which had
i never been returned, and submitted to the most me-
t nial drudgery in his service. She confessed having
pawned some property, with a view to reimburse her-
self. She was discharged.
CORN MARKET, MARK-LANE, Dec. 12.—The fresh
supplies of Wheat to-day are considerable, but the
demand being brisk, sales are readily effected at an
increase in price of upwards of 6s. per quarter—Bar-
ley in plenty, and maintains its price—Malt at little
variation—White Peas, and Beans, of the two kinds,
are rather dearer—of Oats there are large supplies,
and this trade is rather cheaper—Floor arm% advance
