There is, it appears, no truth in the statement gi
•
in the Cooler of Saturday night, of Lord Fitzr 1
S.imerset's having left Madri I. He did dot arrive i 1
that city till the 231 ult, and had subseqnent:y sev '
interviews with the Spanish Ministers; but of the soge ii
tual progress of his mission, even the English Calsintik i•
are said to be imperfectly informed, on account of tin it
stoppage of his despatches on the frontier. r
The Ilampshire Telegraph says—" The statement ;
which has appeared in some of the London papers tkil
week, that orders had been received at Portent:milt gu i
prepare seven sail of the line for commisaion, and to
complete the full compleMent of the crews of the liaelds
ships, is not intr. The font sail of the line, and Nut t
frigates, ordered to be gradually put into a state fee t
commission, under the circninstance.s stated in our last /
piper, are proceeding nit,' bnt slowly, having only abo it: 1,.,
ten mechanics employed on each ship. The Cres.y, ay 1
and Clarence, 7.1, have been selected this week, irons the i„
annual retarn made, to be tl-n-ketl, and likewise fitted
ready for commission, when wanting. None of ;Imo!:
tiers yet given can properly be construed to mean that
our tioserninent are making preparations to go to war ;
they have only gore forth in the ordinary course of 1
preparing for that event. Ministers, it shook! see* t
have wisely determined, so long as a hope remains of 1
their mediating an amicable termination of the diffiM- .1
races between France and Spain, not to show atiy'dispO-
eitiun contrary In that of intending to preserve the
peace. The St. Vincent, Malabar, and Canopus, of the
line ; Java, Lavinia, and Boadicea, frigates, will be pre-
pared for commission at Plymouth, as ships may I.e
wanting for service."
We understand one of the frigates on the South Ame-
ecan station is to proceed to Behring's Straits, on the
cyening of the season, to endeavour to discnvsr I"'
track ut Capt. Parry. It is expected by those who btst
niderstand the dithesilties this able navigator has to
overcome, that he ut ay be obliged to pass two, $ not
three winters, in the Arctic clime. The ships were elle-
rualli d and stored for four years._ _
