learning, from letters now, before us; that the Moor;
have lately shown rather an 44 unaccomOdating dis.
position towards us"—that is—French influence has
been at work to undermine us in that quarter, and, if
possible, to stir up against us another enemy. The •
possible result of the present state of our affairs in
these quarters cannot be contemplated without anxiety
and solicitude.

It was on the 16th of February (arid not the 14th,
as stated yesterday) that the Gleaner left Lord Col.
lingwood's Fleet cruizing between Toulon and Prat
Mahon. At the time of her departure, his Lordship
was in better health than he had been for several days
preceding, but was still very ill ; his disorder is a liver
complaint, attended by indigestion. The Physician
had ordered his Lordship to abstain from wine and
animal food ; and strongly urged his return to Eng.
land, to enjoy the benefit of his native suc..
cessor to his Lordship in the command was daily
looked for in the fleet.
One of our frigates that looked into Toulon, the
day before the GLEANER sailed, counted seven sail of
the line, nine frigates, and several brigs, with an im•
mense convoy. It was the intention of our fleet to
'draw off, in order to give the enemy an opportunity-
to come out ; and the most confident expectations
were entertained of capturing the convoy. Several
-of our detached cruisers have been very successful
in the Mediterranean and Adriatic.
The Gleaner brought dispatches from Admiral
PURVIS, dated the 234 stir. bqt they bring no intelli.
gence of importance. . •

Another letter dated the 23d states, that the gng-
lish, the Portuguese, and the army under the Doke
of ALBUQUER9UE, were all quartered in the Isle of
Leon, and that Cadiz was garrisoned only by the new
levies and volunteers, the regulars having more active
duties to discharge, and the fortress being in a perfect
state of security without thVir cnlopfration,

The report of a rupture between Russia and France
being on the point of breaking out, or havingsactually
manifested itself, was again in circulation yesterday
afternoon. We know not what degree of credit to
attach to this rumour, but certain it is, that all the
letters both from Germany and the Northern States,
indicate a belligerent disposition reciprocally indulged
between these Powers. The printed Journals are
silent on the subject, (nor is this to be wondered at
in the present state of the Press on the Continent) ;
but an article from Nuremberg, of the 21st ultimo,
notices a movement of the French armies towards
the frontiers of ALEXANDER, assigning as the object
or destination of the forces, the maintaining a more
.
rigorous blockade' in the North of Germany against
the entire exclusion of English commerce.
The new family alliance between the Sovereigns of
France and Austria may certainly be considered as
inauspicious to ALEXANDER'S views. He was to have
been aggrandised at the expence of Turkey and Aus-
tria :---he has been duped ! Turkey- will now be held

neration to. Austria fet. her cessions to the Impenal
