The whole of this passage has an evil
dent bearing towards state of things
that will lead to general war, and an
alliance between England and Spain.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.l
BY the arrival at Philadelphia, of the
line ship Dido, Capt. Bliss, in 80 days
from Liverpool, papers have been re-
ceived ia that city from London of the
22d of May, and Liverpool of the eth.
The London dates are the same as those
received here on Friday by the London,
Packet. The letter from Bayonne is
two days later than that from which we
quoted on Saturday. II gives us no light
whatever, as TO the real situation of Mi-
ma; but it exhibits no favourable picture
of the success of the invading army, and
also shows that preparations are making
for a protracted war. The Bayonne
| news from Catalonia, cannot be so late
by several days. as that published by US
on Saturday, direct from the head-quar-
tiers of Marshal Money. Indeed the
letter from Genera was dated one day
later than that from Bayonne.
The statement from st. Petersburgh
corresponds with some late suggestions
that we have seen, and is of importance
if it be authenticlS, viz.-of the warlike
projects of Russia being suddenly check
ed by the declaration of Sir C. Bagot,
that the neutrality of England, in the
present contest between France and
Spain. depended entirely upon the cir
cumstances of the other powers of Eu-
rope not taking any part in the war.
Austria, it is added, had made a similar
communication to his Imperial Majesty
We place (says London paper, but lit
tie credit in these statements. and par
ticulariy the latter; for it is not very
likely that Austria would make such an
ungracious return for the countenance
and aid she received from Russia in her
Neapo!ltan business. Besides, there is
Turkey-a country whose present con-
dlhon seems fast hastening%to a close;
and whenever that moment comes, Aus
trla will have boon to beg of the Au-
tocrat. Of far more consequence TO her
than whether France is or is not 10 he

should she need support. With respect
TO the neutrality Of England, and the
basis upon which ii must continue, those
are points sufficiently established by the
declaration Of Ministers in Parliament.
though they have not gone the length
of defining the exact boundaries within
which they intend to confne their neu-
trail policy.

especially by sea, so that it should seem
that the war is expected 10 be of some

from Burgess are not so ilattering as the
bul[fghts, balls, illuminations, sc. nigh,
lead Us to expect. The inhabitants

the French, have certainly given them
good reception yet it does not seem
cordial, and except these demonstra-
lions, which may be called municipal.
the mass of the people seems passive.
However, our army continues to adj

their war as soon as the French have

ACCORDING 10 the movements O. Bal

not well informed of what is passing
there.
From what we can learn, it should
seem that Marshal Money does not pro-
