Since copving the foregoing news from the Gazette of this morning, we have received the Nova Scotia Roy- :il Gazette, which furnishes the fol lowing additional articles: London, April 24. A mail from Lisbon arrived this morning v ith accounts to the 12th im.t. There has been no battle be tween the British and French, nor does anv one seem to be expected— Lord Wellington’s head quarters are still at Viceu. The most important articles' in the Lisbon papers relate to the operations of Ballesteres’s divi sion—he has readied Ronquillo, from whence a notification was sent to the magistrates of Seville to pre par so many rations for his troops which, would arrive there the next <hi\ (od)—We have no accounts how ever of their having reached that ci ty. The French, about 4000 in num ber, retired from it on the 27th ujt. and proceeded to ,Q}inpatro. \Ve cannot find that the progress of Rallasteros has yet produced any change in the positions or intentions rf the French, who had advanced to: Chiclana, to invest Leon.

The German papers received yes terday state, under the head of Paris, March 19, that on the preceding day the daughter of the Senator Lu- cien Bonaparte arrived in that ci- tv ; Lucien, either disgusted with the apostacy of Napoleon, or fearing for the permanence of his power, has long declined to partake of h.“ lor- lune. The arrival of his daughter at Paris, is probably the signal for a reconciliation between the two bro thers—We also find from the Ger man papers, that the blessings of a militnrv conscription are to be exten ded to Naples, Denmark, and all the other countries and states which en joy the benefit of French fraternity The following is the only article dc serving notice, not already beiore our readers : “ Banks of the Elbe, March 2.3.— The recent union of Hanover makes the politicians on the continent ver\ doubtful as to the ultimate success of the negotiations of peace that may be opened with Great Britain.

The Aurora has opened its batte ries upon an editorial article, which, a few days since, appeared in this paper on our relations with France ; but for what substantial reasons it would puzzle even a conjuror to di vine.—Our readers will recollect that in that article a view was pre sented of the faint prospect of An ear ly accommodation with France, in IV. .■cions, however, as this union is, there are sacrifices, which it would lie criminal to make' for pieserving it.

In every emergency, it ought to be remembered, that our nation is com posed of a number of independent states, in which interests, in some important respects various, prevail. 'Ve should never lose sight of tin memorable fact, that the establish- ; nciit of our independence, and tht idopticn of our constitution, wen iie offspring of a spirit of conciliati- »n, that magnanimously dictated nut- -u.d sacrifices ; and that the repub] .an system itself can never be main Caraccas.—Don Juan Viz ante, Don Tclefore Orea, Don Juan Yirafc- te and Don JuanTinico, passengers in the Tame, are stated to be depu ties from the provisional government of Caraccas, to the United States. It would seem that Miranda’s cal culations, as to the revolutionary spirit ot Caraccas, were nearly cor rect. 1 he people of that country* appear to have began their business rightly ; and much is to be hoped from their exertions. Instead ol a struggle for the inquisition, as in old Spain, we tiust the descendants of Spaniards in the new world, are determined to en joy civil and religious liberty, having the public will for its basis, and the Public good for its end. Our plea • sure was great and unexpected^ ; t'< observe at the head of a state paper.,' received by the Fame, the following motto u Stilus populi suprema lex csto — I he people’s welfare is the supreme law.
