REPORTED.ARMISTICE WITH AMERICA.

'The JAVA homeward-bound Indiaman, which ar-
rived yesterday at the Mother Bank, spoke, on the 4th
inst. the American brig Packet," bound from New
York to Lisbon, the Captain of which informed Capt.
DENNISON of the JAVA, that an Armistice for three
months had been concluded between this Country and
the United States of America. It was signed by Sir
JoitN BoaLAsE WAaaaN, on the part of the British
Government, on the 9th of April, and a cessation of
hostilities immediately took place. The American
Captain also stated that between 2 and 300 vessels
had left, or were on the eve of leaving New York
for Spain and Portugal, with float., when the Packet
sailed.

Our Readers already know that all reports of
American Captains should be received•with a degree
of caution. To a certainty, Sir Jons B. WARREN
would have instantly dispatched a fast-sailing vessel
with the intelligence ; and the probabilities are that
we should have had the news #ially before this time.
The following is our Correspondent's letter from
Portsmouth on the subject :

" PORTSMOUTH, MAY 14.

ig The JAVA East Indianian, Captain DENNISON,
the only missing ship of the Fleet wh;ch passed by
yesterday, arrived at the Mother Bank this morning.
She parted from them,or rather the fleet parted from
her, she being a dull sailer, on the 30th March, in
lat. 9.. 30. N. long. 20. West. On the 4th inst. the
inv.% spoke the American brig Packet, from New.
York bound to Lisbon (with licence), loaded with
grain; the Master informed Captain DENNISON, that
a cessation of hostilities was signed by Admiral Sir
JOIINWAIIRENt for three months, on the 9th of April;
and that, in consequence thereof, between two and
three hundred sail of ships were loaded and loading
with grain for the Army under LordWiu.LiNuroN."

Dispatches have been received at Lord CASTLE.
REAGII'S Office from Sir HENRY WELLESLEY, the
British Ambassador at Cadiz, containing some par-
ticulars of the victory lately obtained over Marshal
SUCIIETI by the troops of the Allies in Valencia. The
substance of these dispatches are communicated in the
following
BULLETIN

DowNiNc-sTmr, 14Tn MAT, 1813.

" A dispatch has been received this morhing at Lord CAS rte.. 1
REAGII'S Office, from Sir Buser WeLtesLev, dated the :loth
ult. in which Sir HENRY W. transmits the copy of a dispatch front
General lit.to, dated April 15, from Castalls, communicatirg
the details of the different affairs between the Allied and :he
French troops on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of that month, or.
the ground between C..astalla and Fume la Higuera, which ter-
minated in the repulse of the French with very consider.ible loss,
and their retreat to the last•mentioned place.

" 'flit Spanish corps, under Lieutenant-General WitiTTING-
11AM, and the 27th Regiment, appear to have had the principal
.abare in the action of the 13th. General Etto stltes the loss a
the client), to have exceeded 200 n men in one day. No official
account had been teceived at Cadiz of the British loss, but pri vette
accounts state it to be upwards of .300 in killed and wounded.

" Sir H. WXLLESLEY also states, that General MINA had, on
the 31st of March, fallen in with a French corps of 1000 men, of
which he had made prisoners SO Officers and 635 man; few of
the remainder made their escape.—This affair took place in the
neighbourhood of Lorca."

The Duke of BRUNSWICK has at length embarked
for the Continent. His Serene Highness sailed from
Harwich yesterday, on board the ROSARTO sloop of
war, for Heligoland.
MIDDLESEX MEETlNG.—Yesterday, in pursuance of
a Requisition to the Sheriff, signed by a number of
respectable persons, a Meeting of the Freeholders
of the County of Middlesex was held, at the Mer-
maid, Hackney, for the purpose of considering of
a loyal and affectionate Address to her Royal High-
ness the Princess of %um, upon her fortunate escape
from the foul conspiracy against her life and honour.
The Address and Resolutions were put and carried
almost unanimously—there having been only three
dissenting voices, among whom was Mr. MELLISH. AI
Resolution was moved, that the Address should be
presented by the Sheriff, the two County Members,
the Mover and Seconder ; which, after some observa-
-1 Lions from Mr. MELLISH on the aukward plight he
should appear in after the sentiments he had ex-
pressed, was carried by a great majority.—The
Thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Sheriff;
for their impartial conduct in the Chair ; as also to
Mr. BYNo; and, on the motion of Mr. HUNT, a Vote
of Censure was passed on Mr. MELLISH, for his oppo.
sition to the proceedings of the day. The Meeting
then broke up.
ANOTHER Two THOUSAND The Ticket No.
16,341, a Prize of £2,000, being the largest Capital
yet drawn, was shared by WEBB, in one Quarter, one
Eighth, and ten Sixteenths, at his truly fortunate
Office, 17, Ludgate-street, near St. Paul's. This, it
is confidently hoped, is only the precursor of still
greater luck that awaits those who have already given
WEBB'S Office a preference, or those who, aveillinr,
themselves of the present rich state of the Wileci,
purchase a Ticket or Share before Tuesday next, being
the Second Day of Drawing, when the fiat-drawn
Prize above se2o will be entitled to £20,000.
Mr. PARRY'S performance, at Drury-lane Theatres
on Mr. BRAHAM'S night, was exquisite—he played a
most beaUtiful Polacca on the single Flageolet, accom-
panied by Mr. BRAHADI on the Piano-torte—and in-
troduced the double Flageolet, with which he quite
delighted and astonished the audience. Much cre-
dit ought to be given to the Makers of this little In-
strument, BAlsztuDcFandWOODl as well as toPamiy,
who'certainly executecipassages in a manner far beyond
any thing we had conceived the instrument capable
of producing ; tor whilst he played a melody with
one hand, he accompanied it with the other, and the
effect was beautiful. We were happy to find the
audience of our opinion,
