LONDON, March Is
The second edition of Dublin paper of Sa-
turday, states that ''The General command
ing at Cove, has transmitted, by express, to
government, an account, that the Spaniards
had taken TaHagona by assault, and put the
garrison, 5000 men to the sword" No such
account has reached ministers.

her last on Monday night last.
All the detachments belonging to regiments
in Portugal, are to be Immediately embarked
for their respective Regiments
1t was mentioned few days since, that the
dispatches from Mr.. Russell to Joel Barlow,
sent bv way of Morlax, had been intercepted
We now find by gentleman from that port
that the same trick has been played Mr.. Bar
low, in respect to his own dispatches to Mr..
Russell, and the communication between these
pablc ENJOYS mas been, on this account, we
believe, wholly suspended. But, Bonaparte

LIVERPOOL, March 81.
On the important subjects of the warlike
rumors and military movements in the North
If Europe, we have little additional informa-
ton of any value. We are again told that Bo-
naparte is about to put himself at the head Of
100000 men, which is to march towards the
Oder, and the Vistula that the Russians are
marching southwark, while the French are
marching nortbward, and that Prussia is a.
sout to take the field with 10000 men. This
asst article partakes so much of the marvel
ous, that it is almost sufficient Of itself to dis
credit all the other accounts with which it is
associated. All these reports however, want
he stamp of authenticity and the confirmation
Of facts, before they Can be admitted as any
lust ground of political speculation. We anx-
iously hope that Northern war will be a
verted for, if undertaken at this crisis, it is
almost certain to end in the additional aggran-
3isement of France, and the further humilia-
ion of the rest Of Europe.
