A ship from La Plata was spoken by a frigate a
few days since, tie Master of which declared, that be.
fore he sailed all Frenchmen were ordered to quit
South America, and a certain period was allowed for
them to dispose of their property.
The following letter from an Officer on board the
Pomowz frigate, Captain 13AitJAE, reached us this
morning :

" Off Malta. June V., 1810.

tg We have just anchored here, after another suc-
cessful cruise. Last week we captured two polacres,
Greek ships, laden with cotton and camels' hair, from
the Levant, bound to Leghorn ; and ycsterd:iy noon
we captured a large French brig, from Marseilles
bound to Smyrna, with an assorted cargo of merchan-
dize. During our former cruize, while sharing, by
consent, with the &Annum frigate, Captain JOHN
STEWART, we captured a settee, two brigs, and a
large French slop letter of marque, which latter
maintained a running fight with us for forty minutes,
when she struck: one of her crew was shot through
the body, and expired next day ; but none of our
people were hurt. This vessel and cargo is worth
upwards of £lO,OOO.
se The SEAHORSE has been equally as fortunate as
ourselves, and has taken as many prizes.—We are un-
der quarantine, but shall sail again this evening, on
another cruize. We shall return to England early in
August, when our ship must be docked and undergo
a thorough repair, as she has been very much strained
in the late severe gales we have experienced."

We understand that Government have received ad-
vices, that the Toulon fleet, greatly superior to our
own under Sir CHARLES COTTON, is in perfect readi-
ness to put to sea with the first favourable wind. The
intention of the enemy is conjectured to be, either to
male an attack 'upon Sicily, or to proceed to the
Eastern extremity of the Mediterranean, and revire
the former project of BONAPARTE against Egypt. It
is supposed, that to accomplish this purpose, a naval
engagement is in the first instance to be hazarded.
ReinfiDrcements are collecting in every direction to
strengthen our armament on that station. The French
are a bundantly provided with military resources to
support their enterprize. At Tarento they have an
army of 40,000 men, and they have an equal num-
ber an the shores of the Gulpir of Venice, where we
have lately had occasion to notice the preparation of
a powerful squadron, which is no doubt intended to
co-operate with the Toulon fleet. In these critical
circumstances, we most anxiously wait for the nest
intelligence from the Mediterranean.
The following letter, cr nfirming what we have be-
fore mentioned of the unfortunate turn of affairs north
of the Ebro, came to our hands yesterday morning :
" CADIZ, JUNE 13.
" The news from Catalonia, through Gibraltar,
has cast a gloom over our spirits : no official account
has been received, but a letter from Alicant,of the 28th
May, speaks as follows : 6 The hero of Catalonia has
been defeated near the fortress c,f Lerida, and every
thing is in confusion. His army has peen scattered in
all directions, and he, with the utmost difficulty, made
his escape. The loss in killed is calculated at about
2000. The enemy were 11,000 strong. We fear we
shall not remain long in security here. Several officers
of distinction have been made prisoners, and o,Don-
SILL himself is said to have been wounded.' Thus far
the letter—but we learn by others, that the account is
rather exaggerated, and that things are not quite so
desperate, though another that I have seen in a
fiend's band, begins with the words 4, All is lost !"
A Gentleman, just arrived from Gibraltar, who
passed the Streighu on the 14th of laLt month, we are
$0317 to say, concurs with the preceding statement. re-
!in affairs in Catalonia. He says, that the army
of O'Domuu., after a defeat near Lerida, had dis-
pent .1 in the mountains, but the desti uction was not
so great as to preclude all hopes of its being re-
assembled.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, the Duke of CAM-
BRIDGE, Princesses AUGUSTA and Sarum, accom-
i panied by Lord ST. HELEN'S, Genes-41S GARTH,
CARTWRIGHT, Lady COLYEAR, COIORGIS TAYLOR and
Dassonouou, took an airing in Windsor Great Park,
till twelve o'clock.

Mr. MORIER, his Majesty's Secretary of Legation
to the United States of America, set off yesterday
morning for Portsmouth, to embark on board his
Majesty's ship Venus for America. This Gentleman
is appointed to take charge of our concerns in that
country, as soon as Mr. JACKSON shall quit it, which
will be by return of the Venus.

at this Theatre, m ith the Tragedy of fiam/et, and the
Farce of the Waterman. Soon atter the fail of the
curtain, at the end of the play, Mr. KENIBIA came
forward, seemingly much exhausted by his previous
exertions in the character of the Danish Prince, which
had never been surpassed. Mr. KEMIu.E was greeted
with loud and reiterated bursts of applause. It was
some time before silence could be obtained. The ac-
clamations of the audience at length subsiding, he
addressed them r.cariy in the following worsts :

I will state distinctly that the Proprietors are ready and willing

equal terms; but now the case will be widely different. By the

of opinion, that thero.never can be a good Theatre without rival-
