Accoralz to the last account; from Iceland, by the N% ay of IstTa.l.v.ty, it amars that on the Ja nuary of tl:is year an E;igiish ship of war arrived in IFlui'ncf rd, t:te commander of which compelled the Magistra!es to grant the Ent:Fs]) fill liberty of trade, whit U they iteerlitinzly irnrroved until the 20th of win th,y t0,.1: their thparture. On board of that ship w.s the ty , ted Jorgenson, who acted as imerpreter ; he soon after returned, and issued pro. clam:aims in i.tvour of the English, which were addressed o the Icelanders, in order to seduce them from their attachment to th,.‘m. , ther country. It is a wytl kno fact, that in ancient times the English carried on an important trade with Iceland ; but, siot.e the beginn;ng of the 17th Century, they discon tinued their intercoarse wilt that country.

Onr friends in Spain arc a kind of military trunk. makers, they continue their noise, but do nothing else ; trey have not gained an inch in the cause since Nap(l!on v. , •nt, and of course they cannot prevail when he returns. The war here is at present much relaxed ; since the affair at Talavera nothing has been done, nor attempted. At present all the principal Oil-jeers of OUT at my are here, Wellesley, Beresfird, Si r &c. and the troops are cantoned on the frontier ; what they il ooeuid, we do not know, and I believe they ar • equalty at a loss. If they ho to meet the enemy, they are in danger of being oppressed Again by superior force as they were at Talavera. That day did some credit to our arms, but it was bought at too dear a rate, such successes would ruin Its with victories ; many a true Briton, after fighting like a hero, had to lay himself down like a dog and die upon the sand at night tier want of provisions and assi„%ince. In :act, that battle served only to con fit m what was known long before, that man to man bur troops are much supoior to the French. Our soldiers .ire undoubtedly very biave, and in di:cipline rot inferior to any in existence, but the best of our Generals are nsit to be compared with the Marshals of France. It is hinted, that at Talavera some of our Brigadicr•GenerAls idl into rristak:s, 31st regi ment fuid upoa the 137th.

The reports of a victory having been obtained in the Mediterranean are so numerous and from such various quarters, that we can hardly doubt of their truth. The principal point on which there is a differ ence in the statements is the date of the reported en gagement. 'We shall not repeat former reports. Our Readers will therefore recollect that the following are in addi tion to statements before received, and therefore en titled to the mere attention : The VAR frigate arrived on Saturday, at Ports mouth, from the Mediterranean. She was formerly a French frigate (the ship taken some time since by his Majesty's ship BELLE Pout. E) : she sailed from Malta on the !FL of October, and from Gibraltar on the ‘29th, with his Majesty's ship FonminaßLE, and about 40 sail of transports and merchantmen, for England, but parted company the same day, and has not since seen them. She is at present commanded by Lieutenant H. B. SUIT/I, of the Formidable, and manned by that ship, to bring her to England. Lieu tenant SNIMf was informed at Gibraltar, that tlie Toulon fleet had put to sea, on or about the 21st of October, but he had not heard of an action hiving been fought. It was reported at Gibraltar that Lord COLLINGWOOD'S fleet had been much dispersed in a gale, and that the VILLE ne PA nis, with several others, had put into Minorca. The Ttucznett and ZEaLot,s sailed to join Lord COLLINGWOOD the day before the VAR sailed from Gibraltar. On the 7th inst. she spoke his Majesty's ships CENTAUR and WARSPITE, in lat. 41. O. and long. 11. W. all well, and informed Sir HOOD of the report that prevailed at Gibraltar of the Toulon fleet having put to sea. The only ship left at Gibraltar was the CEIIIALUS. The following letter was brought by the Woolwich, arrived at Portsmouth. It is written by an Officer , who, from his situation, has the best information t GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER 27. " Lord Cottircwoo• expects the French fleet out every moment. Barcelona is said to be in great want of provisions, and large convoys are coilecwd at Toulon, Corfu, Marseilles, Burgue, all destined for that port, and it is expected they will take advan tage sof the first strong N.N. gale. Fifteen sail of the line, French, and one Russian, are in the outer road ; and it is supposed to be the best manned fleet FiAnce ever sent to sea. Lerd COLLINGWOOD has withdrawn his line of battle ships from the Adriatic and Sicily, and every thing he can collect he is getting with him. That there will be an action 1 have no douk, provided our fleet can keep their station." The hired cutter BRITANNIA, Lieutenant WlLsom, imun Cadiz, which arrived at Plymouth on Saturday with Government dispatches, brings intelligence that the French fleet sailed from Toulon on the 21th Oc it:.)er ; that Lord CoLuscwood was known to be in l:ursait; and that they expected every day to hear of a battle. A letter from Scheidam states that accounts had betm received there from a French ship of war arrived in the Bay et Maguelona, that " there has been an action between the English and French fleet, and convoy &cm Toulon ; the result of which is, that five French men of war and two frigates arc taken ; two French men of war driven on shore and burnt, and the whole of the convoy either captured or destroyed 1 by the English." Letters from Cette of the 27th October were re ceived this morning by a respectable house in the city, stating the arrival there of the Pauline French frigate, on the 26th instant, one of the squadron that sailed under the command of Admiral Bo') Di v, which sailed from Toulon en the 21st ult. The frigate brings an account of the fleet falling in on the day after sailing, with a British force of 16 sail of the line, and that two of the squadron, namely, Le Robuste, of 81 guns, and Le Lion, of 74, had been driven on eiore and burnt— that it was hoped the remainder at the squadron escarNl. The accounts from Cette speak very much upon this important business, and c•em to exiresa muzli fear for the remainder of the . itradrou., FRENCH PAPERS. Just as this Paper was putting to press, we received Paris Journals, including the Moniteurs to the 9th inst. from which we make the following extracts : FON'I gINBLEALY, NOV. I. The Court here is very brilliant; every morning there is a levee, and in the evening a concert and ball. This day his Majesty held a Council with uis Mi nisters. In the evening his Majesty was present at the re presentation of I.a Revanche, and one act of the Nina of Paesiello, in the Theatre d.la Corr. VIENNA, OCTOBER 29. It is reported that part of Interior Austria ceded to France, will form with Croatia and ci-ilevant Dal matia, the new kingdom of Illyria, which is to have a particular Sovereign dependent upon tha Emperor of the French. NAPLES, OCTOBER 26. Letters from Sicily inform us that the news of the Peace between France and Austria has spread con sternation and affright in the Court of Palermo and among the English Generals. Their distress was much heightened on hearing of the desperate destruction of the Spanish Insurgents. Anglo-Sicilian brigands are daily committing de predations on eur coasts. They are generally landed from English vessels. MADRID, OCTOBER 22. General St. Cyr has defeated in Catalonia the army of General Blake, '23,000 strong. Blake has lost up wards of one third of his troops in killed, wounded, l and prisoners ; his baggage, ammunition, and artil-1 lery, are in the hands of the French. The peasants have returned to their villages ; the prisoners are on' their way to France.— (Artick OjEciet) - I Preparations are making for the reception of the Emperor in Spain. The Conqueror of the Danube will soon add that of the Tagus and Guadalquivir to' his titles. We are assured that our King has already nominated the deputation which is to receive his au gust brother on the frontiers of the kingdom. The rebels and their accomplices will tremble at this intel ligence; their fear is the hest possible homage to the genius of him whom nothing can resist. CAPO D'ISTRIA, OCTOBER 42. The Prefect Calafati has published the f()llorring details :. " In the vicinity of Ontago an eve.tt has dccnrred, which will hive the e#ect 'to bring b.ck the dizaff:c ted to a sense of their dwy, and to c , ,nvince the Bri gands that death and intorny await their crimes.

Three vessels set sail aith.ntt waiting for their comrades,. or the corm ;btnions they had levied. The chief of arc gapg and his followers seized the first fishing-boat they could iay their bands on, but were attacked by two tilled with French soldiers and the national guards of Capo d'lstria, who fired upon them almost muzzle t► muzzle. Almost all .the brigands were killed, and the soi-disant G.ineraU Montechiari was made pris..rrr. His real name is Terrier de Manteau, a French emigrant, and an old officer of engineers, coy well knewn at Cape d'lstria, where he resided . when it belonged to the Austrians: An important . correspondence was seized upon him. e , The three vessels which escaped with the insur gents proceeded to Rovigno, where they imprudently landed. They entrenched therr . ,eNes in the Chapel of our Lady, but they were cut to pieces by a detach-, ment sent against them. We have not lost one man.

Their Majesties wil: fix their residence at Faris the 16th. The Ling of Saxony is to reach Fontainbleau cn Friday next. The Kings of Bavaria and Westphalia and the King and Queen of Naple6 are also expected. Captain HALLIDAY is appointed to the„Repulse, in the room of the Hon. Captain LEuuE, who, we are sorry to state, is very ill, from the effects of a fever which he caught at Hushing. The VICTORIOUS, 74 guns, Captain TALEOT ; and the REPULSE, 74 guns, Captain HALLWAY, will sail from Portsmouth the moment the wind is fair, to join Lord COLLINGWOOD. La LotnE, 44 guns, Captain SCHCOIRERG, will also sail with eight sail of transports, which have the 2d battalion of the 60th regiment on board, for Barbadoes. It is expected that they are going out to be employed in attempting the reduc tion of Gnadaloupe. The transports are under the orders of Lieutenant PVE. The HYPERION, Captain BRODIE; PERUVIAN Capt. F. DOUGLAS , and Cormorant store-ship, remain at Spithead with the West India convoy. CORN MARKET, MARK-LANE.--Thp. supplies of Wheat to-day are considerable ; early in the day sales were at a small increase in price, but afterwards nearly at Friday's quotation—Barley and Malt are each rather cheaper—in White Peatis and Beans of the two descriptions, little variation—there are large re maining supplies of Oats, and the kw tine samples are quoted rather dearer.—Flour at late prices.

I have had opportunities of seeing ' distressing situation of a Commander who had to Jornb:rt an enemy of superior force, and depend •ipon men whom he knew nothing of ; there is always Ustrust and division in the measums of an allied army; urd it is impossible to prevelit it. The Spaniards just inw consider us, t believe, nearly as much their ene rgies a 5 the French. The Portuguese are very kind, but they are a set of poor animals, of little importance —if Napoleon brings back his grand army, these ce.untriis must fall in a short time. .1'11E• EVEN I NG STAI.
