-Pad Portuguese Papers to the 30th of June, were
Veceised in town this mornings but no intelligence
or importance is. communicated by these arrivals.
By a private letter from Rotterdam., it appears
that the eitionge decision of Russia has at length
becsowe a subject of speculation on the Continent
a—bet cordial CO -ope rat to n with N A POLEON begins
te be there dontseed ; and the demonstration of
attack upon her ports its the Baltic, is supposed
to be n ell calculated to usaka: a strong impression
en the minds of those possessing influence with
the mass in Russia. It is not a little extraordi.
airy, that the politics of the Court of Peters.
burgh, under two successire Monarchs—from
C4IIKIOS precisely sinsitar—female influence—should
have been eatirafy node.w the controul of France.
It might hereasonably 'opposed that these striking
• rsairoples would be a salutary'lesson to those who
affect to rielv.tiss influence of courtesans on maxi

The disastrous state of French affairs in Spoils,

French troops fur the purpose of quelling the in.
urgent., is, without hesitation, construed into a
preparation for once more retiring from Spats..
Should this event actually happen, it will, per.
haps, require more than the elesparice of his bro.';

Cruet', in which be has hitherto found only
thorns. Of the probability of such a report, ear
means of forming a correct opinion are imperfect;
but from the Portuguese papers it appears, that
Sir AILTHUO Waccastev has at length announced
his intention of advancing upon Madrid.—
Government were said last night to have received
a telegraphic dispatch announcing not only this
event, hut also the junction of the British army
with that of CVEsTA.-6A report is prevalent in
Portugal, of the French Marshals having received
orders to evacuate the Peninsula—but this must
be considered as mere report. Whether, in the
geese of JOSEPH'S retiring from Madrid, he will
return to France, or wait behind the Ebro with
the French force, is a question of great interest,
which it is, however, somewhat premature to
discuss, until we have more correct information
ors the real state of affairs in Madrid.—lt
