" A PROCLAMATION.

st Whereas his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
hath caused his pleasure to be signified to the Right
Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admi-
ralty, to direct, that I should institute a strict and ri,
gorous Blockade of the Ports and Harbours of New
York, Charleston, Port Royal, Savannah, and of
the River Mississippi, in the United States of Arne-
, ricai and maintain and enforce the same, according
to the usages •f War in similar cases.

" And likewise that the Ministers of Neutral
Powers should be duly notified that all the measures
authorised by the Late of Nations will be adopted,
and exercised, with respect to all vessels which may
auempt to violate the said blockade.
j do, therefore, hereby require and direct you to
pay the utmost regard and attention to his Royal
Highness the Prince Regent's commands, as before
mentioned, and by every means in your power to
maintain and enforce the most strict and rigorous,
blockade of the ports and harbours of New-York,
Charleston, Port Royal, Savannah, and of the river
Mississippi, in the United States of America, accor-
dinglyt Given undereny hand, on board his Ma.
jesty's ship San Domingo, at Bermuda, the 2Gth of
May, 1813. (Signed) JOHN D. WARREN,
Admiral of the Blue and Commander in Chief, &c."

Lord ABERDEEN sails this day from Yarmouth for
the Continent. We have hinted in former Papers
our persuasion that his Lordship's mission was not
for Prague ; and we think that we may assert with
confidence that he proceeds merely to the Court of
Vienna—at least in the first instance. We believe
that we may even assert, that Ministers have not yet
resolved on sending a Plenipotentiary to the Congress
to be held at Prague ; but as it is desirable that a re-
spectable Agent should be on the spot to watch the
progress of events, and give Ministers the earliest no-
tice of every proceeding, arrangements have been
made for that purpose. Sir CHARLES STEWART, the
British Minister at the Court of Berlin, attends to this
.abject, and so far back as June sent Mr. ADDINGTON
to Prague, where he now remains.

A Cadiz Mail and Lisbon Papers to the 27th July
arrived this morning. The Spanish Papers contain
the details of some brilliant achievements on the part
iif MINA, the Guerilla Chief, in the vicinity of Sara.
4ossa. This enterprising warrior now occupies a
position upon the Ebro, from which he can annoy
the retreating French corps with great effect.
The Lisbon Papers contain an Order of the Day,
ssued by Lord WELLINGTON, forbidding every thing
like cruelty or injustice towards the inhabitants of
the French frontiers. It is dated Gulieta 9th July,
and reflects great honour on his Lordship.

Yesterday the following Bulletin was exhibited at

There is no truth in a report which was circu-
lated yesterday of the CRutzen gun-brig being taken
by the President American frigate.

The Earl of ABERDEEN set off from Argyle House,
in his new travelling carriage built for his mission,
with great speed in less than a week, a little before
three o'clock on Saturday, accompanied by Doctor
FISHER, of Brighton. At half-past four o'clock, Mr.
GORDON, Mr. LAMBE, and Mr. MoluEn, left Argyle
House. to follow the
.Noble Earl, who slept at a
friend's house, near Bury St. Edmond's, on Saturday
night. The Noble Earl is to meet the Deputation
" to the -Emperor of RUSSIA; this day, at Yar mouth,
and sail with them, from there, in the Cydnus fri-
gate, commanded by Captain LANGFORD, She is a
large-built frigate, upon a new scale.

A singular circumstance occurred on Friday last
in the vicinity of St. George's Fields : a man was
beating a child for some misdemeanour, when he was
instantly seized by a dog accidentally passing, who
pulled him down ; and, had not the bystanders inter-
fered, would have torn him to pieces. It was imme-
diately concluded the dog was Gelert, that performs
such nightly prodigies at the Surrey Theatre, and he
was very much caressed for his sagacity ; but the
passengers were soon undeceived, on being informed
that that performer is never permitted to quit his
iheatrical residence.
