FROM FRANCE.

New YoRK, June I3.-By the regular pack
ct ship Marmion, from Havre, we last evening
received our files of Paris papers to the 3Olh
of April. Oar intelligence is later by the way
of England-these papers supply, therefore,
no news.
The Courier Francois and Pilot newspapers
had been suspended for fortnight, for having
published some articles relative to the Spanish
war which tended, in the language of the SEN
teuce, s. to- disturb the public peace"
The inexhauslble NJ. de Pradt has Just put
forth new work, entitled " A Parallel be
tween the power of England and Russia, re-
lativeiy 10 The rest of Europe, followed by
some views as In Greece" OF which the object
Is 10 prove TO the continent that hencefOrh
there are To be but two preponderating powers
IN Europe, England and Russia, and that all
the others must range under the banner of
one or the other of them. The papers sub
mltted To the British Parliament, rel tive to the
negotiations at Verona, are all republished in
the French journals, very much, if we Judge
by the comments of the loyal papers, to the
annoyance OF the royasts, who speak Of the
publicity given to such documents as ndiscre-
tons" and " Innovations upon. established

MIR. Rodney and his family embarked on
Saturday On board the Congress, for Buenos
Ayres. On Sunday morning early, the wind
being fair, the friSate left her anchorage near
~ opposite this borough, and proceeded in
fine style down the river. Before this time, our
respected fellow citizen is at SEA. Our best
wishes attend him may his health he speedily
restored, that his friends may again enjoy the
pleasure of his society, and his country the
benefit of his talents, aud he example of his
worth. The love and respect with which Mr..
Rodney was regarded, are deeply testified by
the universal regret which has attended his
departure. No man ever enjoyed in a higher
degree the affection of those among whom he
lived, no statesman was ever more respected
for AN integrity which knows no stain A
crowd of citizens attended him TO the ship,
and the moment OF separation was marked by
uneqnivocaltokens of sorrow for his loss, and
affection for his person.

Rodney few days since in the Town Hall,
by the citizens of Wilmington aud the vicinlt T.
Mr.. Nelson, the minister tn Spain, and captain
Biddle and a number Of the officers of the
Congress, were present We know not how
II has happened that this testimony of regard
for our valued friend, has not been noticed
IN any manner In the newspapers. We have
been expecting a communication on the sub
Ject, and we trust that this notice will induce
some one who was present on the occasion

threatened ny the alarming rise in that river,
appear not to have been so great AS were aps

papers of the 9Th ult. which reached as yes

the crops would consequently suffer much

LONDON, (COurlrr,) May ..
We mentioned, on Saturday, that the Duke
d'Augouleme had found some UNEXPECTED
difficulties in his march upon Madrid. The
nature of these difficulties will he hest under
stood by the following fact, which we com
munlcate upon good authorIiy--viz that
$4,000 additional troops are ordered TO march
10 The Pyrcnecs, from the norihcrn parts Of
france. We believe the last dispatches from
the head quarters of the French army strong
~ urged the Importance of immediate rein
I"cemrnis.-ln fact, the necessity Of mask
lhS or reducing the strong forttcssps of San
Sebastian, Pampeluna. and Figurras, and the
lmpossbiity ofd0iDG either with the force ac-
'uslIy employed, explain sufficiently the
grounds of this new levy. This is the cause,
ana mol on account ofnegociations being com
nercrd, that there has been a pause in the
advance of the Freach army.
]" nave also another piece OF intelligence
:" annpunce, respecting which strong runors
rave prevailed for some time 1t is, that q
p"Ss'an army IS undoubtedly assembling in The
D"chy Of WdrSnC; whether to be used for the
purpose ofoverawing France in the absence
OF her own soldiers, or AS BODY of troops TO
JON the French in Spain, we cannot pretend
10 say. When, however, we unite this cir
SStu'nstance with the news last received from
Ienna, stating, that the communications be
."een that Court and St Petersburgh had
"eHln become very active, and with the iute
eInce from Lausanne, that the Austrian troops
"uIch were about TO eyacuate Italy, had un-
s1APectediy halted upon the frontiers of Lom-
