• The disgrace of the Grand Vizier is attributed to
r the Captain Pacha. It is supposed that this opera
'will break off the negociations which were opened be"-

Pacha, who has triumphed, has always opposed him-
self to peace.

inquire into this business, he employed a very re- I
spectable solicitor to get copies of the. informations,
upon this subject. When application was made on
the subject, the observation immediately occurred,
that care must be taken that the Attorney General
should not know of this application, for fear he
might press for a severer judgment. Even when the
counsel for the prisoner (who by some negligence had I
not got their briefs in time) wished to put the busi-
ness off for a day or two, the Attorney-General him-
self answered, " who will answer to me that in such
case Lord Folkestone would not complain in the
House of Commons?" It. appeared to him that the i
Attorney-General ought to act on his own sense of
what was right, and what was his duty, regardless I
of what might be said by bim or any person in 'most
ther place. But he
-(Lord Folkestone) had never
found fault with him on the score of lenity for not
bringing libeliersup for punishment. His complaint
was of partiality, and that he only took notice of the
libellers against that political party with which. he
was connected; leaviaig other libellers full as great in
perfect imptinitY. It was said to be publishing a
libel, to put it in the shape of a letter into the Post-
office ; but
.what man was there who supposed him-
self aggrieved Could :avoid writing letters at least as

cluded by moving " for Copies of the Information in

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL regretted that he
had not had some earlier knowledge of the motion, as
he would then have been enabled to speak from a more
accurate memory of the case z but he must assure the
Noble Lord (Folkstone) that the expressions, " What
would be said if I delayednow," were not meant in any
serious or sarcastic allusion to him. The Noble Lord
said, that even the Attorney for the defendant was un-
willing to have any correspondence with him, through
fear that its being known might injure his client.—
That must have been a grass misconception wherever
it arose. It never could be his (the Attorney-Gene-
ral's) intention to -visit such a correspondence on the
bead of any defendant. Another observation was,
that when the Hunts were acquitted, Drakard ought
not to have been condemned : but the grossest parts of
the tibel were omitted in the publica_tion by the Hants.

Dispatches from Lord Wzwriorox, dated from
Head-quarters near Elvas, were received yesterday.
They principally relate to the progress of the siege of
BacLijoz, and the retreat of Marshal t Souvr to Seville.
It appears by the printed Journals from Lisbon,
which are to the $d inst. that the Spanisla army of
Murcia, which was formerly stand to have entered
Granada, defeated Slims-rimy t on the 13th near Baz a,
with the loss of 500 killed and wounded, and 160 ;xi-
sobers ; and the Spaniards are stated to have subse-
quently advanced into Andalusia. MAteIONT, it is
understood, has put his troops in motion for the South-
ward, in which case the principal part of our army on
the Agueda will of coarse be at liberty to make a
similar movement.
Letters from Cadiz to the 31st ult. have been re.
ceived by the Diana Packet, which has arrived at
Falmouth. They state, that the French were pre-
paring to raise the siege of Cadiz, and that General
GRAHAM had ordered eve, boat that cold be spared
to be in readiness to convey his gallant army to any
point from which the enemy might be annoyed in
his retreat.
The Cadiz letters say nothing of .the arrival of
Soutr at Seville; but it is not likely that he would
give much publicity to his hasty return. He seems
to have been roughly handled in his retreat ; and it is
with reluctance we have to inform our readers that

The intelligence from the North, by an Anholt Mail
which arrived last night, seems to indicate that Swe-
den may probably take a share with Russia in the
event of the latter power declaring against France.
The brave conduct of Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ has had
a wonderful effect upon the Swedes, and they now
appear to be disposed to conciliation with this coun-
try. The following letter from Gottenburgh com-
prehends nearly all the intelligence received by the
r above Mail :

LOH, MAY so.

" A war with Denmark seems to be unavoidable ; but things
will take a different turn if Russia have composed her disagree-
ments with France. Britsthvervrt has expressed himself dis-
tinctly, declaring that the taking cf Swedish ships by Danish pri-
vateers, will be considered in the light of aggression and hosti-
lity. It is reported, that Prussian as well as Danish property
willbe confiscated.

" The order to unload the ships was only put In execution at
Corkin= and Carlscrona. The foreigners received order to de-
part from these two places, and then the unloading was stopped.
All goods were afterwards put at the disposal of the owners ; but
' with the condition that they should not be exported."
We likewise learn from Gottenburgh, in relation to
the disputes between Sweden and Denmark, that the
privateers of the former Power had taken two gun.
boats belonging to the latter, as reprisals : inasmuch
as Denmark never lets slip an opportunity of captur-
ing Swedish vessels.
By way of Gottenburgh, it is stated from Ham.
burgh that several fresh arrests had taken place in that
city among the merchants, on charges of correspond.
ing with 'England ; and the accused were, conform-
ably to the orders of the French Government, sent in
custody to Paris.

A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning. With
the exception of an article which states that the Ex-
King of Swann: has taken up his residence at Heli-
goland, for the present, the following is the only in-
telligence brought on this occasion :

HELIGOLAND, JUNE 8.

The measures adopted by the enemy to prevent all
intercourse with this island are becoming more and
more rigorous. A number of troops have Lately re-
turned to the coast, and been stationed in the adja-
cent islands.

No fewer than 300 men are said to have entered
the island Nordeney. The Governor of Wangeroff,
with several persons. on that island, have been put
under arrest and marched off, in consequence of being
suspected of holding intercourse with persons from this
island.
By a late arrangement, every vessel or boat leaving
the coats, on any pretence, and not returning in 11
days from the date of departure, is liable to be con-
fiscated or destroyed. and the owner runs the risk of
being condemned and shot as a traitor, and the pro-
perty seized•
