Colonel MoRroN, an. American gestle-
mar, man OF grsa.iasslligepes a1( responsibility,
NEY. with dispatches to Ffee. afterthe
refusal OF this governmental rAtify the terms
OF Mr.. EasKINE's agreement with the go
vernrnent of the United States. left Paris on
the 18th ult and returned to town q few DAYS
ago. When he arrived at Morlaix. on boar
the cartel, he was hot In the first instance
permitted to land; but upon an explanation
being given OF the character on which he
was deputed, orders were given that he
should be Immediately allowed to proceed to
Paris When it, was understood in the
French capital. that Mr.. f.RsKrNE's mea-
sures had not received the sanction of his
government, the fact was immediately com
municated by the telegraph to the Emperor
At Vienna. and an opinion seemed to prevail.
| that advantage would be taken of the new
| misunderstanding, TO produce favorable
change in the relations now subsistiDr be-
tween France and America.
! August 2.
There have been some skirmishe $ betwee,,
the Austrians and the Russian General But,
| Ter, Who. after some fighting, had taken
possession of Lamborg. Another column M
| Russians had arrived within twenty miles
OF Cracow. The separation of Gallioia
from the Austrian government is decided
upon. levyof $4,000 men was made in
srder TO join them tothe army of the Grand
Dutchy of Warsaw.
la, The Pacific has arrived from PhiIade,-
phia.
Expeditions appear to be the order of the
Day, There is now one fitting out at Cork,
but its extent is not known. Sixty trans
ports lately arrived from Lisbon, will be EN-.
ployed in it.
n report has prevailed for some DAYS. that
bonaparte has returned to Paris We be
ieve, however, that it rests upon no actual
authority, and is merely a speculation ba-
zarded upon the rapidity with which. after
the signing of the armistice of Zraim. he
withdrew to Vienna, and the danger antici
pared nearhome. from our expedition
l.. Gottenburg mail arrived last night. with
letters and papers to the 2lst July. They
rnnt a,n .1f-
repeat the account Of the Capture. bv our.
cruizers, of seven Russian gun boats. and
twenty transports. laden with provisions for
me Russian army acting agains. Sweden.
IL Is said, that Bonaparte has declared, that
ne does not mean to interfere. in the new
government OF Sweden; but wishes the peo
pie OF that country, in forming ono, to con.
salt only their own happiness. The magma
nimous Alexander, however, has interfercd
tor him, and that will answer the purpose
extremely well.
An article, dated Stockholm, July 90, says
the Russian heet are ready for sea, and
outside the booms at Cronstadt. Sir James
Sanmarez is afraid they will haul into the
haroor when ne makes his appearance.
Dutch papers have been received of the
25th ult.-Ihey contain but one article of
intelligence. This, under the date of Paris.
July 81, relates to the war in Spain On
the Sd uit. it is said, Gen. Pinot attacked
the town of ST.. Falin de Qnixois, and took
1T, though the Spaniards defended themseIve,
obstinately from the heights. On the follow
ing day the same General advanced against
Palamos, which was taken, although defend
ed by ten gun-boats and two brigs, which
played upon the French but these being
forced off, the Spaniards were, for the most
part, driven into the sea-few prisoners
were made. InPalamos, the French found
about ,0o0 mu5kets and six cannon St. Fe-
lin and Palamos are two little harbors and
are represented as usefnl, being asylums for
French vessels, and assisting in maintainin,
communication with Barcelona along the
coast.
MOST GALLANT ACHIEVEMENT.
We have the pleasure to Law before tire |
public an account of most brilliant at. !
chevement against the Russian flotlla in the !
Baltic, We ardently hope that frequent ep |
portunities may be afforded us of making
Russia feel our powers
About the beginning of last month the Rus |
sian fiotila in the Baltic took ND a position
under point called Pencu!a. Each wing Of
their ti9tilla was Ranked by n rock. In this |
position they seemed TO defy our power
Snch defiance could not of course be BROOK !
ed by British seamen, and it was resolved
10 man our boats aud send them in to teach |
them more respect The boats of the Bel. !
lerophou, Implacablc, Melpomene. and Pro- |
metheus. were accordingly manned. and ON |
the night OF the 9TH ult proceeded under |
