Ni'HARFINGERS:COAL, DEALER, SPANISH PAPERS. SEVILLE, NOVEMBER 6. The enemy, in - their retreat before the army of La Mancha, left behind them at Almagro five thousand rations of bread. The Duke del Pargne, in a dispatch of the 24th ult. communicates the details of the unsuccessful at• tack of the enemy upon Astorga, on the 9th of the same month. They first appeared at day-break, with a force of 2600 men, infantry and cavalry, an eight pounder, and a howitzer. At noon the infantry ad vanced, in two columns, supported by cavalry on their flanks, by the suburbs of Rativia, with the in tention of forcing the gate of Obispo. But they met with so warm a reception from 300 men of the re giments of St. JagO, volunteers of Leon, Buenos Ares, and the sharp-shooters of Brenzo, who were posted on the wall in that quarter, that, after an in effectual contest of four hours, they retreated with the loss of about 70 killed and 200 wounded. Next morning six of the enemy deserted to Astorga, with their arms and accoutrements. The following dispatch has been received from Ge neral Buzz, relative to the attack of the enemy on the 20th nit. on the camp of Brunolas, of which an. unofficial account has been already published: " MOST FiCtLIANT SZIONON, " The body of troops under my immediate command, had searceiy established thermion in their position on the heights of Brunolas, in the night of the 18th inst. when, in the morning of tae 19th, several reconnoitring parties of the enemy, consisting of between 500 and 600 men, came in sight, but not being able to get so rear as they wished, they then retired. On the following eay, however, they returned, between 2500 and 3000 strong, with '250 cavalry, by way of S. Dalmay, and penetrating through the thick woods, which cover every part of the ground in that direction, they reached our advanced posts, which began to open their fire in front of Brunolas. 1 ' PieldaMarshal D. Martin Garcia Loygorri, who commanded in that quarter, instantly ordered out such of the light troops of his division as he thought necessary, and Brigadier D. Enrique O'Donnel advanced from the center with a part of the troops under his command. The light troops, consisting mostly of the Vrovintial grenadiers of New Castile, and the grenadiers and ehasieurs of the Walloon Guards, sompelled the enemy to fall back in the direction where the firing commenced, and pursued them to their position, whence O'Donnel returned after dark, having burnt several of the enemy's encampments which they ha I aLandoned. " The enemy's loss wa, considerable, owing to the precipitancy of their retreat; ours consisted of one captain of the Provincial erelnadiers wounded, four or five soldiers killed, and a few oun•led.—Con preserve your Excellency many years, " Camp of Brunulas, 23d October, 1809.

MUNICH, NOVEMBER to. ..On the 4th instant, General the Count of Erlon, Drouet, issued a Proclamation at Inspruck, stating, that Andrew _Hoffer had sent in his submission in writing, informing him, at the same time, of his hav ing given orders to the misled inhabitants of the Tyrol to return to their homes, to lay down their arms, and to confide in the promise given them by Napoleon, of procuring an amnesty for them. The Proclama tion then goes on to state, that as all pretence for per severing in resistance is thus taken away, every one of the inhabitants found in arms, after the lapse of 24 hours, shall be put to death as a highwayman ; and all officers, civil and military, are strictly enjoin ed to see this order carried into execution. Intelligence having been received that one Zegger len had assumed the title of Commander, and was again stirring up the inhabitants of the Zillerthal and the Pinzgau to insurrection, orders were forviarded to Major-General Count Minucci to proceed to the Zi lerthal with his-brigade that had come from Salzburg. He advanced on the 6th. At the distance of a quar ter of a league from Zill, the troops came in sight of the insurgents, who were posted on both sides of the valley, from which they kept up a heavy fire to pre vent the column from marching along the road, which was blocked up in various parts. The 3d 're giment of infantry of Duke Charles carried the en trenchments with their usual gallantry, and soon took possession of Zill. The insurgents, though 4000 strong, fled with con siderable loss to the environs of Mayrhoff. Our loss consisted of 4 killed and 19 wounded. In the morning of the 7th, a party of cavalry re connoitred towards Mayrhoff ; but though they ad vanced about a mile beyond it, they saw none of - the enemY• They therefore tetuniells at-agiaatin that -the eaemy had retired to their habitations beyond the GOTTENBURGH MAILS.

" It is likewise reported, that next season the Bal tic, by treaty between Sweden, Russia and Denmark, is to be wholly closed against British shipping.

Several of the private letters received yesterday from Gottenburgh, speak of the continued favourable inclination of the Swedish Government towards this country ; and with respect to the packets, one these contains the following information :--44 Several of the first merchants have applied to the KING, in. order to know whether the packets are to proceed to Gottenburgh, as heretofore ? The answer they re. ceived was, that as the English packets were not ships of war, or merchantmen, and are prohibited from taking on board any thing but passengers, their luggage, and the mail, they alone have a right to put into a Swedish port, provided such port be situa ted above Landscrona. However, some think that Russia will remonstrate against this proceeding. It remains to be seen also whether NAPOLEON will not enter his veto ! Letters from Cadiz of the 15th ult. speak in un disguised terms of the imbecility and mismanagement of the Spanish Ministry, and to the difficulties with which any contract is fulfilled by them, even for the supply of arms, of the deficiency of which complaints have been made to our Government, and Messenger after Messenger has been dispatched to implore the assistance and liberality of this country to relieve them under such an urgent necessity. By the same authority we learn, that notwithstanding the large quantity of- treasure they have drawn from So❑th America, they are still deficient in money, and appli cation has been made to the Merchants of Cadiz, to obtain a million of dollars to answer the immediate demands which has been raised by the Consulado of that port. Letters from Lisbon of the 18th speak of our army at Badajos as being far from healthy, and as In want of several necesaries. There is a scarcity of waggons for the conveyance of provisions ; and sere of the letters assert that . there is a serious misunder standing between the Central Junta and the Brititish Commander. Dutch papers to the 22d ult- have arrived. It has been for some time pretty evident that NAPOLEON * means to assume the title of " Emperor of the West." The answer he made to a deputation from Rome, given among our extracts, seems to point that way. The King of HOLLAND issued on the 3d inst. two additional decrees, directed to the object ofpreventing all commercial intercourse with this country. One of them draws a line of demarcation from Dykhusen, on the coast of East Friesland, to Bunde, in the Rheider. land, beyond which, on the Dutch territory, nb maga zines or depots of goods,wares,or manufactures ofany description whatever, will henceforth be permitted. In ventories of such establishments are ordered to be de livered to the Officers of the Director of Ways and Means, within three days from the time of the publica tion of the decree, which was on the 9th instant, and the proprietors were forthwith to transport their effects to places within the line of demarcation. From the operation of this decree are excepted grain, vegeta bles, and such small assortments of mercantile articles as shall appear to be indispensably necessary for the convenience of the inhabitants. The second decree draws a similar line along the sea -coast, outside of which there are to be no depots or magazines of colonial produce, English manufac tures, or any of the articles prohibited in the decree of the 31st of May, 1805. This line extends inside of the islands of Schowen, East, South, and North .11eveland, 'rholen and Wolphaartsdyk, Overflakkee, Goederee, Voorne, and Rozenburg, with the excep tion of particular places in each of them. The islands of Wieringen, Texel, Vieland, Terschelling, Arne land, &c. are also without the line. The boundary on the main land is described with a degree of minuteness, which would occupy a column of our Paper. It is sufficient to state in general, that the district which .is subjected to this new commercial bin, extends in breadth to 2000' Rhenish roods from the sea coast. I t I t t e :s e e L 0 .e r
