This day, agreeably to our promife in the STAR
of t cßerday, we Lay before our Readers a part of
the iliplomatie Correfpondence between the Courts
of &. Peter (burgh and St. Cloud. To-morrow we
than give the conelufion down to the time when the
Ruffian Minifier quitted Paris LA year.
_ .

Soria mutilated parts of dais interetling correfpon-
deuce appeared at the time in the Mossilear, but this
is the fiat perfee copy that has been laid before the
Public.

It will be feen, from the nature of the demands
made on each fide, in regard to the execution of cer-
tain articles of the fecret treaty concluded on the t ith
of Oaober, 'Sol, that very great coi:ceftions mutt
be made by one or other of the parties before a good
underftanding can be re-eftablifhed between them ;
and as the Emperor ALEXANDIR has infifted on no-
thing but the execution of treaties, we cannot fee
how he can puffibly recede from any of his demands.
It is therefore probable that the million of M. Novo-
SILTSKOFF has only for its objet to-put this Pimple
queltLn—Whether BONAPARTE is (till refolved to
perlift in refuting the demands that have been made
by the Court of St. Petetiburgh ?
The difficulties in the way of an adjuftment mull
have been fincc much increafed by BONAP•P. ra
af-
fuming the fovereign power in Lombardy ; for one
of the articles in the Secret Convention was,-that the
French Government promifed to eftablifh an inti-
mate concert, with his Majelly the Emperor of Rana
for regulating the bates on which the affairs of Italy
wei e to be fettled, and this article is one of thofe on
which Ac axe NOSE exprefsly infifts.

Yeilerday Government received advices that Lord
NE tsoa pa(red the Straits of Gibraltar with his whole
fleet on the 24th ult. The AMAZON frigate fpoke
them on that day under a prefs of fail.
Difpatches were this morning received at the Ad-
miralty from Lord NELSON. His Lordfliip, we un-
deraand, being of opinion that the combined fleets of
the enemy are deflined for Ireland, has placed him-
felf in fuch a fituation, that in the event of their di•
reeling their courfe thither, he is in hopes of falling
in with them. It is, however, probable, that before
this time his Lordfhip has been informed of the re-
turn of the combined fleets into Cadiz. We have not
yet learnt the date of there difpatches.
Intelligence has been received from Sir Roast?
CALDER, and the fleet off Ferrol. It is Rated, that
the enemy attempted to come out on the loth inn.
with twel►e fail of the line; but upon Sir Rosary
CALDER, who had no more than half that force, mak-
ing fignals as if to an outer fquadron, the Spaniards
thought proper to return to their anchorage.

Nothing farther has been received from the fleet
under Lord Geannea. The IsTarruot, the Rimy,
and the A oatmestmou, have by this time joined his
Lord(hip,
Thz divition of feven fail of the line, under the
command of Admiral Cowticwoon, ftill remains
in Cawfand Bay. All the (hips, however, are now
ready for any fervice on which they may be ordered.
The men are all to be paid fix months wages, if there
be time enough to go throngh this bufinefs.
Yefterday there was a very great buftle at Portl
mouth among the tranfports bound on the expedi-
tions. We expea loon to hear of their failing.

We mentioned yefterday the arrival of JERoras
BONAPARTE'S lady at Dover. It is fume time fince
we announced that he and his wife had arrived in a
neutral veffel at Lifbon, and that he had landed,
but that his wife had remained on board. The
vcflcl (tl►e Erin, from Baltimore) afterwards fail-
ed to the Tezel, but the mna pofitive orders were
there given to prevent this unfortunate Lady from
landing, and all communication between the Ibip and
the chore was prohibited. The Erin left the Texel
on the 17th, and arrived in Dover Roads, on the 19th.
Madame BnnerARTE was accompanied by her brother,
Mr. W. PATTERSON, a Lady, (Mrs. ANDERSON) and
Dr. GARNER, a French phyfician. She was, we
►►nderfland, permitted to land in confcquence of an
order from Government, and is now in Dover. It is
Paid that when JEROME landed in Lifbon he was ar-
relied at the defire of the French Government, and
fent a prifoner to France.

This day Admiral CORNWALLIS left town for Ply.
mouth, whence he will immediately proceed to re
fume the command of the Channel Fleet.

On Satnrday afternoon the Prince'', of WALES ar-
rived at Windfor from Blackheath.

Her MAJESTY'S Birth•day was celebrated yellerday
evening, at Windfor Cal le, by a Concert, Ball, and
Supper. The Concert was the Oratorio of Attarse.
It commenced at about nine o'clock, with a molt
excellent orchestra, including Madame 13:ANCHI and
Mifs TENNANT, from London.

The day was ufhered in with the ringing of hells,
and the whole town was all Wile from an early hour
with the arrival of the vifitors, who continued pour-
ing in from the adjacent country and London, during
the whole of the day. His Royal Highnefs the Prince
of VALES paid a vifit on Sunday for a (hors time.--
The reit of the ROYAL FAMILY were prefent. The
dancing commenced in the ball-room, which was
fplendidly fitted up liar the occafion, at nine
o'clock, and continued when our ezprefs came away.
—The Ball Room was crowded with Nobility and
Gentry.

A letter from Windfor, dated yeflerday, fays :
" We are again all alive here : the approaching Fete
at the Cattle has filled all our inns, as well as the
!mules of the Noblemen and Gentlemen in the neigh-
bourhood. The PRINCE Of WALES, the PRINCESS of
WALES, the Duke and Ditchers of Yoke, Lords
DARTLIOU TH, UXBRIDGE, with feveral others of the
Nobility, Generals STAVELY, Goerratr, PRINCE,
BROWN RIG s, and many other General Officers, ar-
rived yetterday. The Prince returned to Bufhey Park
to dinner with the Duke of Ct.ae NCE.—This morn-
ing we had an excellent review of that fine regiment
the Staffordthire Militia, by the KING. The day was
uncommonly fine. Hii MAJFSTY was dreffed in the
uniform of the relent of Horfe Guards ; he was
attended by the Dukes of YoaK, KENT, SUSSEX,
CAMBRIDGE, and a numerous concourfe of General
and Staff Officers, in the Little Park. The Terrace
was covered by a fine difplay of beauty and fafhirm.
The King was very much pleafed—at the conclufion
he &fired Lord Uxbridge to intimate to the regiment
thlt his Majelty longed for this day, to fee a regi-
" ment aft, who had for fo many years fatisfied him
" by the extreme propriety of their behaviour, and
" cirTednels of their difcipline, and that he had new
" p!cartirc in naming them his own regiment of Mi-
" ti: is ;" on which the men gave three cheers. •
"The ball and Copper to be given this evening, are
expeCted in tafte and magnificence to exceed every
thing hitherto teen here. Among others of the com-
pany with which our town is to-day thronged, I have
leen Mr. PITT, Lord and Lady HAWKCSEURY, Lord
CASTLEREAGH, and the Hon. Colonel STEwART.
Titere is to be a drawing room at Liven in the even-
ing, beittre the ball.
"'l'o-morrow there is to be another review. The
regiment of Horfe Guards will be reviewed in the
Great Park by the Ktsic and Duke of YORK.

44 It is fail that there is to be an encampment of
cavalry near Windfor, in a fhort time. I have heard
that the 9th and 14th Light Dragoons are likely to be
two of the regiments."
By the Avtacr floop of war, which arrived a
few days ago at Portfmouth, with the convoy from
Gibraltar, we have received letters from that quarter,
but not of a recent date.

We mu/et-nand that DntlorKeastNa,ofthe Royal
Artillery, has arrived in England with this convoy.
This is the Gentleman who Cult perceived the difeafe
to be contagious, and who ;:loste had the wifdom and
flrmnefs to maintain that opinion, in oppofition to all
the rell of ►he faculty, prefent at the celebrated meet.
ing of the tsth or Sept. where they all, himfelf ex-
cepted, declared the difeafe to be neither malignant or
contagious. It is very fingular that the fame cir-
cumilance happened at Malaga : the faculty there,
with one exception, giving the fame opinion, each
time the difcafe broke out in the years 1803 and 1804.
—Dr. KFNNING comes home firongly recommended
to Government for his fervices du, ing the Fever : re-
port Pays, that he is to be examined by the Pricy
Council and the Medical Board, refpdling the nature
of the late difeafe at. Gibraltar ; and no peri;,n, from
his fituation, can be better qualified to give them
every neccffary information on that head.
We learn by a pafreager in the fleet from Gibral-
tar, that information had been received there, that
the Court of Madrid had riffled orders to all the lea-
port towns, not to make any exchange of prifoners
with the Englifh—a circutullance which caufed con-
fiderable regret.
