TherMinister of Finance lately read a ;memorial in the Cortes, on the subject of the excise pn tobacco. — tie observed, that the use of that plant was introduced pan Spain about the middle of the 16th century ; the roval monopoly of tobacco was established in 1636 ; and in 1 4 789 it produced an anent ils um of 110 taiMolts of heals.

Hawing established, as first principles • f finance, that the public treasury ought not to be commercial, its inierests placed 'in direct opposition to those of the peOple, he deduced, at inferences, that all those regulaz• ought tube abolished which impoverished cur coldniai agriculture and commerce, cherished the capiditT of Custom-house officers, encouraged espio nage, peopled the dungeons and the garrisons with snugglers, and the highway wilh robbers. He pro rd that the number of smugglers sent to garrisons in 1796 amounted to 1.10(); and in one yen -they even am: anted to 5000, which was equ hl to a small army. He concluded his memorial by buhmitting, that the cultuvatioo and .sajc of t.bacco ought to be free, p -tying -only certain thoderete duties on importation ; by *hie!), While 0 e g T che q uer would be b2nefited, tent only the evils be had enumerated would Ix reme.

Mipisters have received dispatches fro" Co. bed Gaiusx at Gibraltar, which state thatthe Spa: bards, under that enterprizing General Baron D'Encu.g.s, had entered France by the way of Lan , gusdoc, and that they were laying waste that rich and fertile province. Immense contributions had been already levied upon the most loyal of 13otin. PARTE'S subjects in that qua -ter, and tbe Spaniards were under no apprehensions of any surprite on the part of the french, The intelligence from all parts of Spain, which C3overnment bas received by the &owl , (which has arrived at Portsmouth from Gibraltar.) is equally gratifying with the above. 11141 French are overwhelmed with misfortune; in every direction, .. A Trench Officer, who arrived at Plymouth on Monday, in the Robert and Sarah transport, from Corunna, states, that the destruction among the enemy by the Querillas is beyond all calculation ; no small parties of them can venture far from their main force, without being surprised and cut off by these enterprising and hardy warriors. The loss the enemy have sustained by this desultory mode cif war-' fare, far outnumbers the total of their loss in all their regular actions. The French Officers taken candidly confess that the Peninsula has proved a greater drain on the resources of France than all the contests she has been engaged in since the Revolution. The above officer is-a deserter from the enemy's service, Corunna letters of the sth inst. state, that the army of the Asturias consisted of 8000 men ; but, unfortu nately, it was destitute of proper clothing, and almost every other requisite to enable it to meet the enemy iu the field. The rest of the regular Spanish armies were greatly ineffective from the same cause : whilst the guerillas were every where successful, and chiefly because they were enabled to quarter on the enemy. unfounded opinion prevailed at Corunna, that the Sicilian-British army would shanty be seen in Arragon.
