COVE OF CORK, APRIL 2.

The Doris. Captain M'CALL, arrived here yester-
day from Passages. She sailed on the 21st, and fell
in with the Pyramus, Captain I)uNnA3, who put on
board dispatches, stating the surrender of Santona, a
small garrison near St. Andero, which hate continued
in the possession of the French. The garrison con-
sisted of 1000 men. On Saturday night the Doris
'was captured by an American privateer, and treated
in the most inhuman manner.

ce Several large fires were observed on the French
Coast last night, and this day soon after noon there
was much tiring there. A boat from Gravelines
with three English prisoners came over last night
the Commander of the Guard brig at that place and
three French Gentlemen also came over.in her—they
all wear the white cockade. No other arrival from
the opposite Coast."

Flag is twisted at Boulogne."

Various ane Tdotes are related of the manner in which
the arrangements respecting Bonaparte /iVJS brought
about. According to some, Bonaparte himself came
to Paris incognito, and there obtained the best terms he
could from the Provisional Government. According
to others, Ney was the person who broke the matter to
him, and counselled him to accept the offer of it retreat,
inasmuch as, though he nrig`•it protract the war a few
weeks, or months at the most, supposing nodisaffection
in his soldiers, yet he must he conquered at last ; and,
with respect to the attachment of the troops, Ney, it is
added, afforded Bonaparte little ground to depend on
it, and even intimated that he himself should adhere
to the Provisional Government.

The Grand Duchess "of OLDMIURGII visited the
College of Surgeon:, in Lincoln's-inn-fields, yester-
day. She nest proceeded to the Foundling Hospital,
afterwards to the Duke of DevoNsnillE'S mansion In
Piccadilly, and returned to her Hotel, after passing
through Bind-street, Oxford-street, and Hyde Park.
Lord NVELLns LEV is sTone to East Cliff Lodge, near
Rarnsgate, for the Recess.

Letters were yesterday received from Clermont of
the 7th, from Bruges of the 9th, and from Ostend of
the date of Sunday. From the contents of these,
there apptars no doubt that all the fortresses in French
possession, from the Vistula to the Moselle, will obq
the orders of the Provisional Government. The Com-
mandant at Ostend says, in justification of his not re-
signing the place, that General MArsos: is his superior
officer, and that when he shall have it in command
from his superior to march out with l'is garrison, he
shall immediately comply. General MAtSON has al-
ready signified his adherence to the new order of
things, and waits only for instructions from the a it-
thOrities of Paris, to V, hich he professes his readiness
to conform.

Letters were yesterday received from the River
Plate : those from Buenos Ayres are to the 'Jodi of
January, and from the mouth of the River they are
several days later. The account of the defeat of the
revolutionary General BELGRANO is confirmed by this
opportunity. In opposition to «hat has keen statod
from Vera
.Cruz, we have the subsequent particulars
respecting the expedition to Venezuela, consisting of
WOO men, in several transports, who it will he recol-
lected escaped from a snare laid for them by the mal-
contents. After that affair, they sought refuge in
Porto Cabello, and when they bad occupied that sta t :on
for a short time, they made a sortie upon the Revolu-
tionists, who appearedloefore the place. This silly wash
conducted by their commander General Monteverde
in person, the attempt was unsuccessful, and he hin--
self was so severely wounded as to be constrained to
resign his command. Since that affair the Spaniards
have not judged it prudent to disturb the assailants,
and in the mean time to compel the surrender of the
station, the latter have placed a naval force bofcre
,the place, and it is suppoeed that the garrison will be
so much straitened for provisions as to be obliged soon
to capitulate.
