Orders have been given for the blockading squa-
drons off the several French ports to return into Ports-
mouth and Plymouth.
Two French frigates made their escape on the 10th.
A heavy tiring has since been heard in the direction
in which they steered, and it is supposed that they
have fallen in with some of our mixers who have
engaged them.
The Rev. G. C. SMITII, Baptist Minister of Pen-
zance, embarked on Saturday se'nnight, in the Lady
Arabella packet, for Passages, as a missionary for
France and Spain, carrying with him Bibles and reli-
gious books, to distribute among the inhabitants and
in the army, under the direction of a Society in
London.
The letters of yesterday, from Bermuda, are to
the 13th ult. Admiral CtiCIIRAYE arrived there in
the Ast.t, on the 7th ult. and it was expected that
Sir .1. B. would return immediately. Since
our previous intelligence, information of the capture
of only one ship had been obtained at Bermuda,
which was the Nonsuch, a large American letter of
marque. Colonial produce, we are told, haal feller
25 per cent. on that island, undtr the expectation
that the war would continue. and th.tt by the joint
operation of the bl ekade and the embargo, the inter-
course with the United States would be wholly ob-
structed.

The William, Ryan, is arrived at Limerick from
Oporto, in eieht days. Orders were received there
the day previous, to ship ?mak from Boordeaux, and
accordingly several vessels intended to leave it on
Wednesday last. The 4th and 7th divisions of Lord
WELLINGTON'S army were in barracks at Bcrurdeaux,
and are daily entertained with the utmost hospitality
by the inhabitants. An English East-Inniaman,
homeward hound, supposed to be from Btairbon,
about 9(X) tons, and valuably laden, was wrecked tour
leagues off Oporto, on the 17th ult. and, melancholy
to add, the entire crew, upwards of SOO souls, pe-
rished ; several of them were washed on shore, and
interred in the English burying-ground. A Portu-
guese Bra z.:l ship was lost the same night, crew saved,
Captain Bt.AcxmaNT, of Dunkirk, the celebrated
commander cf several French privateers, who has
been confined as a prisoner of war at Gillingham,
was released gal Sunday, and left Chatham to go be-
fore the Transport Board, preparatory to his return-
ing to France. All the natives or inhabitants of Dun-
kirk, who were prisoners, were released at the same
time, in return for the liberation of the English pri-
soners of war, last week at Dunkirk.
Tuesday, an inquisition was taken before S. JACICA-
NtAN, Esq. one of the Coroners of Ipswich, on view
of the bodies of William Anderson, John Robson and
John Simpson, seamen, belonging to the ship Whit-
burn, of Sunderland, who, being employed in a boat
in weighing the cage anchor of the said ship, lying
at Dunham Reach, the boat upset, and the poor fel-
lows were unfortunately drowned. The depth of
water being considerable when the accident happened,
it was a long time before the bodies could be found.
A fourth man was in the boat, and sunk with her
he was taken out of the water nearly exhausted, but
has since recovered. The same evening the three
men were interred in one grave in St. Mary Quay.
BONAPAOTE.—There are some approximations of
dates so striking that history will not fail to dwell
upon them.
On the 30th of March, 1813, BONAPARTE declared
that 44 should ever the enemy's armies be encamped
on the heights of Montmartre. not a village of the
provinces united constitutionally to the empire should
be given up."
On the 80th March, 1814, Paris capitulated to the
allied troops who had attacked the capital on the very
side of Montmartre.
On the Ist April, 1810, BONAPARTE COOMICted a
marriage which seemed to secure the Throne to him
i for ever.

On the lat April, 1314, the Senate declared that
be had forfeited the-Imperial dignity. •
