ANIIOLT MAILS.

Go/Tr...mem:o, MAncu 28.—Ml accounts lately
received from Germany agree in stating, that thel
King of Prussia has acceded to every measure the
French have thought proper to dictate. There arel
30,000 French troops in Dantzic, the inhabitants of
which place have been ordered to supply themselves 1
with 12 months provisions.
General Von Suchtelen arrived at Stockholm, from I
St. Petersburgh, on the 21st inst. on an impoitantl
mission.
Letters from St. Petersburgh, dated the lath inst.
say, that great preparations are making there for war
with France. Seventeen thousand of the Imperial
Guards, infantry and cavalry, marched from St. Pe-
tersburgh, the beginning of this month, for the
frontiers of Poland. The Danes have a naval force
1 at Christiansand, consisting of one frigate, and ten
or more vessels of war) of from 10 to 12 guns each.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
Wommt, MARCH B.—The Duke of Elchingen has
arrived at Erfurt) where 9 it is said, he will provi-
sionally remain. Three divisions, the passage of
which has been announced,' wily go into cantonments
in our neighbourhood, as also a corps of 5,000 men,
in which are comprised 600 cavalry, and a traiu of
I artillery. General Sebastiani is expected with his
i staff, and a Portuguese regiment here. We frequent-
ly see pass here, waggons and mules laden with the
1_
attendants, &c. of the Emperor : we lately reckoned
150 of the latter.

BANKS OF TILE MAINE, MARCH 10.—The 4th re-1
giment of Chasseurs, and the Bth Ilussars, arrived
from France on the 29th of February, at Frankfort
upon the Maine. Several regiments of infantry and
cavalry are to follow them. Letters received state,
that a corps of troops are assembling in Upper Italy,
and Illyria, of which there is reason for believing
the Duke of Abrantes will take the command.

NAPLES, FEB. 21.—We have here many fears re.
specting the fate of Madame Blanchard. Four days
have elapsed since her ascension, without any intelli-
genoe respecting her: Naples, surrounded on three
sides by the sea, is not the most favourable place for
these enterprizes.

French Post-office at Ramburgh, having removed the
obstacles which they bad laid in the way of the free
course of the Swedish foreido posts, r,nd several

the Swedish troops in Pomerania were on the instant
disarmed by the French. Those which were at
Stralsund received orders to assemble in three divi-
sions at different places, when they were surrounded
by a superior French forcer and their arms taken
from them. They were at the same time informed,-
that they were no longer Swedish soldiers. Those
among them who were born in the States orthe. Con-

LONDON:
THURSDAY, APRIL 2, ISM

British blood has been again spilt in the Penin- I
sula. The commencement or the siege of Badajos
has been officially announced, and during the first
four days of our operations against that fortress, we
lost in killed and wounded 150 men, among
whom the country has to regret the death of Captain
CUTHBERT. By dispatches received yesterday after-
noon
from Earl WELLINGTON, it appears that Ba-
dajos was invested on the 16th of March. On the
;17th ground was broken,"and the first parallel formed
`within 200 yards of the outworks. Meanwhile
Generals.Gaaumis and HILL were ordered to take
up new positions, the former at Santa Martha and
Valverde, and the latter at Merida. This induced
ithe French General DROLYET to abandon Villafranca, i
and fall back upon Llerena, where General DANI-
cANT, with a division of the enemy, was stationed.
On the 19th, 2000 men of the garrison of Badajos
made a sortie, but they were driven back by the
vision of our army, under the command of Major..
General Bow's, and private accounts state, that the'
enemy lost 200 men in this affair. The substance of
the dispatches from Earl WELLINGTON were given to
the Public last night in the following

BULLETIN.

Dispatches have been received from the Earl of WELLINGTON,
dated the 20th of Marsh. His Lordship invesUll lialijos on
the 16th, and broke ground on the following day, forming his
first pareUel within two hundred yards of the outwork called
La Piero- rina. Lord WsuiPioToN conducts the siege in person,
with the third, fourth, and light divisions, upon the left of the
River.. Sir TROMAs GaAnssicrossed the Guadiana on the 16th,
with three divisions of infantry, and two brigades. of cavalry;
and marched upon Santa Martha and Valverde ; while Sir
ROWLAND HILL, with two divisions, and a brigade of cavalry,
I moved upon Merida, where be made some prisoner*. These
movements induced General Deaver to retreat from Villafranea
to Homasehoi, to preserve his communication with General
Dastc.sm's division, stationed at Ller Nut. Upon the 19th, a
sortie was attempted by the garrison of Badajos; 2000 men
pushed out against the right flank of our work, but were balm-
diately driven ig with considerable los+, by Major-Gen. Rows'.
In this affair General PICTON*3 Ai.-de-Camp, Captain CUTII.
anti, was killed; and Lieut.-General heresea, slightly
wounded. Since the commencement of the operations, the loss
of the Allies has bees about 150. men killed and a minded.—
'There was no general movement of the enemy upon the side of
Ciudad Rodrigo so late as the 17th of March ; but tweirint the
three divisions of ManstosT's army, which had been upon the
Tagus, had moved through the mountains in the direction of
Valladolid. The rains had been very heavy fur the last three days.
These dispatches were brought to Falmouth, ou
Monday, by the Princess Elizabeth pack6t, in five
days from Lisbon. By this conveyance we have re-
ceived Liabon Papers to the 261. h Marchofhich coup
fain some further particulars as to the progress of the
seige. We have given full extracts from these in obr
preceding columns. OA private letters state, that
the bombardpient•continued unabated till the 19th, 1I
when the French made the sortie, and that it was ex-
pected the place would soon fall, as the enemy had
made no movement to relieve it, and a breach had
been wade in the walls, It is,sindeed, rather siugu-
lar.that ne demonstrations appear to have wen made,
by any of the French Marshals to succour Badajos.
In a dispatch of Earl WFLLINGTON to the Portuguese.
Government, dated March 13, his Lordship states, that
" Marshal Maastotir arrived at Salamanca on the
6th inst. There is not now' ony of the enemy's
troops in Estremadura, except that part of the fifth
corps (which is not in garrison at Badajos), whose
head-quarters are in Villafranca, and a detachment;
which consists nearly ofd division, under the com-
mand or General DaNicart, who has hikhead-quar-
ters in Llerena. Since I diricted my anterior dis-
patch to your Excellency, the enemy has, made no
movement, nal. have I heard that he has executed any
operation of importance. According to my last accounts
Marshal Souza was in the lines in front of Cadiz."

It is further stated, in the Lisbon Papers, that Ili
the letters received from the frontiers of Portugal an.
nounce, that a portion of the French troops are
'destined for France, and that great numbers of them
are collecting at Burgos, which are shortly expected
te leave Spain. We are strongly persuaded that this
..apparent inactivity of theenemy, and the rumours sent
abroad as to their design of evacuating Spain, are mere
manceuvres to draw aside the attention of the Allied
Army, and to induce Earl WrimatotroN to march his
troops auto the interior, where he would be more ex.
posed to the attacks of the enemy's cavalry, whirlt
isgreatly superior, than in the mountains of Portugal
We would hot indeed be surprised, if Badajos
; allowed to fall into our hand as Ciudad Rodri'~
has already done, without a single effort to relies.,
it. We do not, however, doubt that the enemy late
forces sufficient to compel us a second time to raise the
siege. But as they seem to have changed their plans of
.operation, and profited little last year by our retreat
from llefOre the place, they may now have calcu.
lazed, that to allow it to fall into our bands would
induce us to penetrate' into the heart of Spain,
where -could bring an overwhelming .force to
act against they
us, and thus -decide the fate of
countries-in one general engagement.

When we turn our attention towards the Noit
we discover greater reason than ever for believing that
the French troops whkb are there assembr mg are ul.
timately destined for the Peninsula. By the arrival
last night of two Anholt Mails we have received Ger-
man, Swedish., and Danish Papers to a late date.—.
Accounts from the Lower Elbe state, that Bop.
nun; had determined to unite the whole of '.;pain
lying on this side the Ebro to France, " in con+
quence of the general feeling among the public, ocea.
sinned by the fall of Valencia."—This intelligence.
we are inclined to regard correct, and are persuaded
that the immense army, which STAeor.rort is collect.
iisg in the North, is intended to give eclat to-this new
annexation of territory to his immense empire.-110
Spanish Provinces, as an integral part of France,
will then be considered by the French Emperor
an object more immediately deserving his attention
than hitherto, and thus afford him a strong induce.
ment to march a powerful army against the Alliec,
who, he may consider it necessary, should be put at
a greater distance than they are at present from the
frontless of France. Wedo not mean to say that Bo-
r.utTE may not have cause to complain of some of
the Northern Powers, for being disposed to encourage
commerce with this country; but we are of opinion that
this will not at present lead to the unsheathing of the
sword in that quarter. Prussia, it is already known,
is every thing that NAPOLEON could wish, and the
hands of .A.LexArer.a is too full of the Turkish war
to expect he can oppose any successful resistance io
France. The rumour of a.second armistice having been
concluded between the Russians and Turks, does not
in the least weaken our.speculations, because, when
Russia was unineumbered with the expenses of a te-
dious and destructive war, and assisted by all the other
Northern Powers, she could' do nothing to affect the
stability of her powerful rival ; but, on the contrary
by an appeal to arms, she increased the strength and
resources of France. Those who suppose that the
entire subjugation of the Peninsula cannot be the ob.
jeet of BoNAPARTE from the circumstance of his
marching his armies so far to the north, have only to
recollect how he acted when he last attacked the Esi-
.
peior of AUSTRIA. Under the pretence of Invadin;
Great Britain, he assembled his troops At the coast op.
positetto, our shores, aqd when the moment had arrived
• which he had fixed for carrying his secret and real views
into execution; the entire of Europe were then, and
nottill then, undeceived as to his purpose.. Weshall

in the'dark respecting them as all the world besides.

which did great credit to the talents and patriotism
of several of the speakers, ten spirited Resolutions,
declarative of the right and duty of British. subjects
to discuss political questions, and of the injustice
and ruinous tendency of the Orders in Council, were

disengage themselves, the gentlemen proceeded to
impute to each other the want of skill which led to
the accideat. This imputation being sorely felt by
both parties, they waxed warm, and at length trans-
ferred the lashes of their whips from their horses to
each other's shoulders. The quadrupeds becoming
alarmed, and occasionally sharing the blows intend-
ed for the bipeds, exerted their' strength so effectual-
ly, that at last the wheel of one of the vehicles was
fairly broken off, and the other being thus freed
from its trammels, was, with its driver, carried off
in triumph.

At Carrickfergus Assizes, Montgomery Brown,
late Master of a vessel belonging to Irvine, in Scot-

Moore, late butcher in Belfast. He, however, ap-
plied to the Court that his trial might be delayed till
next Assizes, stating in his affidavit as a reason for
this delay, that a material witness, whom he expected
from Scotland, had not arrived. The Court agreed
to delay the trial till next Assizes. The moment that
the Court had so decided, the widow of the deceased
rushed forward through the crowd, and came upon
the table in front of his Lordship. She then, in
great agitation, fell down upon her knees, and with
much vehemence cried out, " Oh, my Lord, give
me justice against the man who murdered my hus-
band I—l entreat you, my Lord, that I may have
justice done for the murder of my dear husband !
His murderer has got time, but he gave no time to
my dear good husband !" Having so expressed her-
self, she then silently withdrew. She was dressed in
mourning, and her agitation and screams excited
very painful sensations in alt present.

Custom House-quay, some thousands of people as-
sembled to witness this magnificent specimen of Spa-
nish manufacture. After their patience was exhttusted
in anxious expectation, they had the mortification to
find that they had been deceived by one of those prac-
tical jokes called hoaxes, intended in honour of the

A number of weak and idle persons from remote

The destination of the French fleet, which sailed
from L'Orient, has not been ascertained; no Intel.

Some apprehensions have been entertained for the
safety of the convoy from Gibraltar, on account of

Experience proves that the enemy's squadrons can
elude the vigilance of our blockading cruisers sta-
tioned off Brest, I: Orient, and Rochelle at plea-
sure. During the last war, Admiral RICRERIE es-
caped
into Rochefort by the following stratagem :
Admiral Sir Roczn Cuaris had been stationed off
Rochelle a considerable time, to prevent the French
squadron from entering that port, and by keeping'
as near as possible to the land, no idea war enter-
tained that the enemy could pass undiscovered. At
midnight the advanced frigate of the British squa-1
dron made signals of the approach of the enemy,
and sonskquently every stitch Of canvass was crowd-
ed to get up with him. Having made sail, they dis-
covered three horizontal lights, which they took to
be the Trench Admiral's stern lights. This, how-
ever, was no more than a ruse de guerre. The lights
had been raised in a floating machine, dropped by
an enemy's frigate, and set before the wind, to draw
off the British cruisers, while the squadron catered
the port, under cover of night, In safety.

SHIPWRECKS.
- -7111.-- •
We have to record a greater number of disasters
and shipwrecks in Mount's Bay, during the last,
week, than we believe has been experienced there,
in the same space of time, fOr many years. It may
be necessary to premise, that when the wind is be-
tween the E.NE. and E.S.E. vessels frequently take
shelter in Mount's:road, which, at the best of times,
is but poor anchorage, the sand at the bottom being
intermixed with stones, by which the cables are fre-
quently damaged, and sometimes cut. For nearly a
fortnight, previous to Saturday last, the wind had
blown between these points, on which account a
number of vessels had put into Moutit's Bay, and
were at anchor near the Mouut. Early on Satur-
day morning last, the wind suddenly. shifted (ram
the S.E. to the W.S.W. and blew a gale, by which the
vessels in the Road were exposed to a lee shore.—.
Some which had fast attached to the pier of Mount's
harbour, were so fortunate as to warp in ; but others
were obliged to cut their cables, and run upon • the
sand ; those that attempted to weather the gale,
parted and came ou shore. Among the rest, the
Gage, Aldridge, Master, from Biddeford, for Dept-
ford, with timber, &c. for the navy, parted her cables
about five o'clock in the morning, and unfortunately
was drivel on the August Rock. The spectators, by
whom the beach was covered, saw the dreadful situ-
ation of five of the crew, who had ascended the
shrouds in order to save themselves, without being
able to render the poor fellows the least assistance.
In a few minutes after the vessel struck, a tremen-
dous sea carried away the mast to which the unfortu-
nate seamen clung, and buried them in the waves.—
One poor fellow was seen on the deck for half an
I hour, but no assistance could he afforded him, when
the vessel beat to pieces, and he shared the fate of
his companions. The following vessels were driven
on shore, and it was with the utmost difficulty that
the crews of several could be saved. The Nimble,
Gribble, Master, from Caldiff for London.; the
cargo has been landed. The United Friends, Greach,
Master, from Swansea for Fowey, since got off and
brought into Mount's harbour very much damaged.
I The Friends, Smith, Master, from Fowey for Swan-
sea, stilt on shore when our Correspondent wrote.
The William Ds. and Charles, Amey, Master, from
Jersey for Swansea, still on shore. The Nancy,
Jolly, Master, from Biddeford for Plymouth, still on
shore. The Nettle, Morris, Master, from Falmouth
for Fowey, still on shore. In addition to the above
melancholy account, we have to add, that the Betsey,
