ftogtscrtpi WEDNESDAY, EVENING July SI. Aditiiral Lord Exrnouth's squadron was off Fal- inouth on Sunday last. The wind was as favoura- ble as it could blow. Actfbunts from Vienna State that thp. A it at tin h Government has sold the ships of the line at Triest and Venice to that of Denmark. These ships were constructed by the orders of Bonaparte, and found at Venice on its occupation ay the Austrians; As the frigates and smaller vessels are not alluded to, it is evident that Austria means to retain the latter description of vessels for the protection of the Adriatic, but has renounced every idea ofbecom* ing a naval power. Letters from Vera Cruz to the 1st of June, and from Mexico to the 12rh of May, in referring to accounts from Guayaquil of the 18th of February, mention that Admir.il Brown, with the Buenos Avres squadron, afier blockading Lima, and taking many valuable prizes, bad proceeded off the river of Guayaquil, where he Look the batteries which defended the entrance. lie, then proceeded up with a brig and schooner to capture the city, but the brig having gut aground, he fell into the hands of the Spaniards. His squadron then anchored Dear the small island of Puna, at the entrance of the river, and his First Lieutenant undertook to negociate for an exchange, offering to give np the new Guvernor of and two Members of the High Court of Justice, the squadron had cap- turprj offCallas, and it was expected Brown would be exchanged for them. Accounts had been re- ceived at Vera Crirz that the Government, of the United States had resolved that the flags of the independent puints of Spanish America should be admitted into all the ports of the Union. Several vessels from the United States had arrived at Pnnta de Piedra, the port belonging to the Independents on the Mexican coast, and among them the schooners Cayman) and General Bolivar, convoyed by an American brig of war. Their cargoes con- sisted of arms and military stores; and they also had on board many voiunteers going to join the Mexican patriots. Two British brigs of war, called the Royalist and Bermuda, at Vera Cruz, had offered their services tu the Spanish Governor to act against the Independents, and had left the port to cruize against the privateers of the latter. It is stated that the motive of this offer -wa, an expectation to receive permission to take in silver for Europe. Extract of a letter from Barcelona, dated July 1\—" A deputation has gone from this city, to pray his Majesty to prevent the introduction of English merchandize, which destroys Spanish in- dustry, and produces nothing to the revenue, because the Custom house officers are easily cor- fupted by the English traders. With the same view of favouring Spanish industry, an order has been issued to prevent the entrance of foreign artisans in matters of luxury and fashion. In con- sequence of this, several Frenchmen, who lately presented themselves at the pass of Junquera, were refused admisbiou on this very ground." A private letter from Paris, dated on Saturday, mentions a rumour of the arrival of an overland dispatch from India to the French Ambassador at Constantinople, by whom it was transmitted to the French Government, of the defeat of our troops by those of Nepaul. We trust and believe there is no foundation tor the rumour. An American Captain at Calcutta writes to his friend in London as follows. Calcutta, March 181$. "I imagine that you do not feel much interest in the politics of this country; but a.s Gen. Ochter- 100y is a Yankee (from Boston originally), 1 must tell you that he has commenced his second cam- paign against the Nepaulese with his usnalabiIity and success we call him 4 the Wellington of the Easthe will subdue them this year.—Three country ships have been burnt by the Lascars within a month, and two more partially destroyed one at Java, and three attempted at Calcutta. Some discontents among the Lascars occasioned these acts ofvillany." The rumour is revived of the solicitude expressed by ap illustrious personage to bring the question of a divorce, by way ot bill, into the House of Lords. A female, a Swiss by birth, is said to be a material witness. We have heard that several of the Minis- ters have decidcdty declared their, unwillingness to agitate the delicate question and that this onty has prevented the trial of a measure that might have been attended with the most important con- Sequences to the country. We can venture tosay, that there is no truth in the report of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte having suffered a miscarriage.—Morning Chronicle. b The British subjects now in France, according to the compilation of a person who has great means of ascertaining their numbers, it is thought, amount to about 13,000 public opinion at home had, we Relieve, estimated them much higher.
