A gentleman iuit arrived from
Ofcnd itares that Bonaparte. by
VIZ Of dive. 6on in favour OF hIs ar.
mics in the icniniuia, has relolved to
menace as again with deicent upon
our fnores. Numerous bodies OF
troops were marching FOR the coaft
from Offend to BoIougne. A divii-
ion Of 1000 men have already arri-
we'd between the former place and
Dunkrk, and camp is tracing out
between Ca,ais and Bolougne for
5000. Al the gunboats at b.
lougnt had been ordered to b, put
in the beil poGi5lc condition, and
new craft of tie fame defcripiion are
preparing in the adjacent ports.
The Commandants and Mayors of
the different towns on the coat, had
been inltructed provide accommo-
dation and rations for troops which
may arrive in their vicinity, until
camp cantopements aie prepared for
their reception.
BY accounts from the interior of

When they arrived eff Tihant, the

Four of the men they patterned down

FROM SPAIN.

The brig Logan, captain Hammatt, ar.
rived at Boston, on Saturday evening from
Lisbon, bringing file of Portuguese pa.
pers to the / lth June. They are the la
test that have been received, and give, be-
sides the official detail of events, already
known here, the fcllowingrecent operations.
That the greatest part of the French army
under marshal Soult, had retired for Llerna,
maintaining the advanced posts OF Its caval.
nv at Usagre that on the 25th May, BIO.
'dy Of the cavalry of the allies, under gene.
raj Lumley had brilliant affair with the
enemy's cavalry at Usagre, in which the
French were defeated with great loss that
the siege of Badajos was prosecuting with
vigor; and that breaches had been made in
fort ST. Christopher and the eastern side OF
the castle; that Massena's army had sud-
denly dehled from Tonnes, on the Sd June,
and were taking direction towards the
fords of the Tagus in New CASTLE.
The above particulars are from the DIES.
patches of Lord Wellington, dated on the
3oth May and 9th June, at Gramicha.-
The latter movement is evidently intended
to afford some relief to SouIt, whose only
security is to get into the interior of the
country, with the hope of being joined by
Massena's army, or eventually OF shutting
himself up in Seville.
1t is stated as certain, that Massena, tn.
not and Loison, had returned to France ;
and that the army. still called the army OF
Portugal, had been placed under the com.
mand of Marmont, in conjunction with
Regnier.

talents and such temper as Mr.. f,nkney,
should have left the country. There never
was a minister whose patience and forbear-
ance had been more put to trial than Mr..
Pinkuey's, and he thought that it would be
hardly possible to find negociator equal
TO him, aud not only for supporting the in
terests Of his own country, but for discus.
sing with fairness the points which were
disputed between the two countries.
The Lord Chancellor, in reply to Mr..
Whitbread, observed With regard to
what had fallen from the hon. gentleman
as 10 our commerce with America, Mr..
p. believed that no man in this country
ever seriously believed the Milan and Der.
lin DEGREES absolutely repealed. Il was
true they had been repealed respectively
and cooditionally that is to say, either
when Great. Britain should give up her
Orders of Council, and also her blockades
which was stated to be novelty IT we
could consent to give up these, and all the
maritime rights on which our present pow
err was founded, then Jhey were to be re-
pealed or if we refused TO give up our
mart ime rights, and America would take
up arms against US, then they were to stand
repealed as to America, but not as to US.
Could any man suppose that this country
would bear such an idea, as that it would
endure any set of Ministers who could
coun,enance such degrading proceedings
upon such bare and doubtful evidence !?
The manner in which the intelligence had
been brought to US was not to be depended
on; it came in such a questionable shape,
as would by no means warrant US in repeal
ing our Orders in Council.
Mr.. A. Barring spoke at some length
against the Orders IN Council. He thought
Ministers might very safely and properly
have reseinded them on the declaration by
France to America that the Milan and
Berlin DEGREES had been repealed. 1t
was evident from the conduct ofthe French
Government. that Bonaparte was fearful
we should think they we're repealed, and
dreaded our acting accordingly. He (Mr.
b. was of opinion, that if Ministers had
rescinded the Orders Of Council at tina,
time, Bonaparte would have been greatly
mortified.
