THE STATESMAN.

LOIVDON :

MONDAY, JULY JULY 2, 1810.

-Os Saturday a vessel came into Dover, from
Dieppe, the Captain of which reports, that an or.
der had been issued to lay an embargo on vesalls
of every description on the Ist of July (yester-
day),
which was to continue, with the utmost ri.
sour, throughout the French dominions, for sia
months.
An exchange of prisoners between this country
and France was every where -spoken of, and it
was thought that cartels would be immediately
established.

PARIS Letters and Papers to the 26th tilt. were
received on Saturday. The following (in which
we imagine there is a n►is.statemctit with respect to
the British force in Portugal) is an extract from
one of the former :

P sits, Joss H.

" The force under MASSI:n a has been exaggerated. The
English who 'are`opposed to hiia arc sappoied to be 45,900
strong, independently of the Portuguese auxiliaries. The
French are doubtful of success when they meet the English ia
the Arid."
communication from Bayonne mentions that
the siege of Cadiz was continued, and that it'. was
presumed that the place roust in a short time sur.
render, not„ ithstanding the boasted assistance of
the English, and the pretended patriotism of the
st.itises. Kett hot bills were at intervals dis.
charged from the tomes' of Matagorda.
Toe Pat is Papers contain the official account of
the eicade of ttte Ireneu prisoners, confined in
go,: of the twit:, to emliz harbour. This enter.
pine, wtuca appe r to hive been conducted with
great judgment and resolution, was not the result
of au unexpected accidziit, but of a long medi-
tated And well arranged plan. From the injudici.
ous mauner in which tucze prisou.ships seem to
have been statiouul, it is eurt,nying that inure of
them hate nut been carried to that side of the bay
occupied by the enemy. in tile iattllation at tile
success of this attempt, the deStructiuo of the

Thu (urinal incorporation of the Southern Ty.
tot with the kingdom of Italy has taken place.

IS Cullectiisg an immense force 'in the Atheistic,
both of ship. and troops. Thu design is said to
be against Egypt, as the point (rout which he may
most successfully annoy our possessions is the
ast; and it is probable that his threatened attack
on Sicily is meant as a diversion to assist his main
project.

Tams was a rumour current yesterday in the I
higher circles, which, if it be well-founded, int-.
plies a total change of plan in the operations of
our army in Portugal. It WAS said, that Lord
Wzt.uNozoN, u ith the whole, or greater part Of
the British army was to embark at Lisbon, for the
purpose of proceeding to St. Lucar, and after.
wards co-operating with the garrison at Cadiz, to
raise the seize of that city, and to expel the elm-
my from Andalusia. The tlefence of Portugal was
ju tl.O mean tune to be committed to the Porto.
guese anti Spanish troops, under the command
of Marshal BLitzarogn and the Marquis RUMANA.

Ws have been taunted with a letter from Ppeus,
near Tarragona, dated the 6th ult. which states,
that 4 body of Spaniards had descended the Py-
renees, and by a rapid march had proceeded •to
refp.anan, near the Northern extremity of Roos.
sittun, and within one hundred miles of Boor. I
