AMERICA. PrI,ADELPHIA, OCTOBER Is. On Wednesday arrived in this city, Vs Excellency Don Louis Dr Ores, Envoy Extraordinary ana Mi nister Plenipotentiary from FERDINAND VII. to the United States, accompanied by his suite. Also bon BARTHOLOMEW RENGENET, Consul from his CATHO LIC M AJE%TY, for Philadelphia The detention of the AIRICAINE frigate, and also that of the British pazket at New-York, have excited much speculation, and conjecture. We do not doubt that it is the wish of the British Minister to convey to his Government, the sentiments and disposition of the American Government at this particular juncture, and, Nye believe, that,before this day, Mr. SMITH and Mr. JACSiON have had some seriouvand important dis cus'sions. The time has arrived when the two Go vernments should come to explanations, that, in one way or the other, may put an end to the doubts and uncertainties which have so long attended their rela• tons. If we look to the angry fulminations of The NatinNal Inigligencer, and the scurrilous invectives of the Democratic Papers, and particUlarly those bf them which are supposed to possess the confidence, as t'iey certainly do the patronage of the Adininittraticni, Svc cannot in candour say, that one hopesof any ami. cable :adjustment are sanguine. If, nnfortunatel j, the present attempt at adjustment should fail, we be lieve no other will be made, and the consequence Will be, what has been so long desired by the democratic: party in this country, and a considerable party in the other.. We need offer no argument, or obsc; vations, to prove. hat are and have long been the views of a vast majority of the democratic party in this coun try. In Great Britain, there has been a powerful party, who have been at all times desirous for a war with this country, composed chiefly of the navy, the shipping interest generally, and mere particularly the East and West-India interests. • Opposed to this party, have been the army, the whole manufacturing interest, and those interested in the American trade. These latter, exclusive of 010 impolicy of war with this country, addressed the in terests and fears of the nation, and reasoning (tom w!•at they apprehended to themselves particularly, perh ips over-lilted the importance of our commerce. .7.ese apprehensions, the West-India Colonies Par - b. ! e-gely. We are assured, by very intelligent who have recently visited Britain, and by n have visited her West-India Colonies, that ~, Te has taken place, the number of our - min6hed, and the apprehensions Wh ich vc , ceased. • Those arguments which . 1 so mireh appearance of reason ad . . apprehensions of the nation, are now , • r treated with contempt. The mann , rtrs hive discovered that our embargoes and non courses, did not ruin them. and the West-India .onists have found that' they did not starve. The latter have been compelled to the use of means which they did not know were in their possession. • • Commercial warfare, for that was the kind of war 'Paged, has always the effect of drawing forth re toUrces, hich nothing but necessity could discover. I. 4 .very person who had any knowledge, derived from . , personal observation, foresaw and predicted the con sequences that.would result from the impolitic system of commercial restrictions adopted by the late admi istration. The effects upon ours e l v e s were certain, upon Orker party, they were at least doubtful. There is, however, a very large proportion of the people 61 England, who are averse to war with this country, and so we believe is the Government. In making this assertion, we would not mean to ascribe any great share of moderation to the British Government ; but her interests are so manifestly pro rioted by peace witb,the United States, that she can pot, we should think, be brought to enter into a war, it it can.be avoided. But lithe i rr i tat i ons whi c h h a * e.dsted so long are not checked by an amicable ad ustment, and that speedily, we believe it will not be in the power of either Govcr..ment to restrain a tem per which will not be satisiied but by war. From these considerations, we feel no uncommon degree of solicitude for the result of these negotiations which i have, no doubt, been opened at Washington.—(Nor- Gazelle, &ftt. 29.)

Navy 1018 • Long Ann. l b 9-16 i YeAcr,lay, about three o'clock, a telegraphic dis patch announced at the Admiralty the arrival of the Marquis WELLESLEY and suite at Portsmouth. Our letters from that place, received this morning, state that the DON EUAL arrived there from Cadiz yesterday morning, and that the Marquis set off in the course of the day for town. His Lordship reached his house at Hyde Park Corner this morning. It is reported, but we know not on what authority, • that before the Marquis WELLESLEY left Seville, a very material change in the form of government had been effected. The executive powers of the Junta are, it is said, to be vested in a Directory, consist ing of five members. It is confidently expected that mach benefit will result to the Spanish cause from this concentration of power ; and that the mischiefs from the divisions which are known to have the Junta, will in a very great degree be obviated. Great hopes are also entertained; that the t ton which prevailed among the Spanish Pa trice..., as to the measures axd proceedings of their late G wzinzr,ent, will immediately subside, and that their r:s:-,anct to the French will be reanimated by the vi gor-. 1. efloiv: of those to whom the supreme power beer, cot; iiieJ, schooner, of has also arrived from Lisbon, with dispatches from Lord Watuxorom. By this conveyance we have received Spanish Pa pen to the 10th, and Portuguese to the 12th instant. They are chiefly filled with details of the occupation of Salamanca by the Spaniards, under the Duke del PA RQUE. The French are said to have lost 2000 men in a previous engagement. LISBON, NOVEMBER 11. His Majesty's ship Norge sailed from hence on Monday last, about 2 P.M. with his Excellency Mr. Villiers, and his Secretaries Lord John Fitzroy and Major Bayley. On the evening of the same day they fell in with the Prince of Wales packet, Capt. Todd, with the Mail of the 18th ult. (the third Mail then due.) His Excellency having received dispatches, returned here immediately, and the letters that were on board the Norge were forwarded the following day by the Phipps cutter, Captain Bell. The Prince of Wales, and the Walsingham packets, arrived here on the 7th inst. with the Mails of the 25t114i1t: The Walsingham sails to-morrow morning early, the Prince of Wales on Wednesday, and the Marlborough on Sunday next. It is generally believed here that the Toulon fleet has been at sea for several days past. OPORTO, NOV. 4. The army of our allies under the orders of the Duke del Parque is pursuing its successes, and the French continue to retreat in consequence of the several losses which they have lately sustained. It was on the 25th of last month, at ten o'clock in the morning, that the brave Spanish troops, commanded by the above Duke del Parque, took possession of Salamanca, which the French troops, preceded by numerous carts and wag gons with sick and wounded, left about two hours befere it was occupied by the Spaniards. This in formation is official. All the accounts we receive of the action of the 18th ult. skew that the loss of the French is much greater, and ours much smaller, than was at first supposed. It now appears by several in quiries made on this subject, that 2000 French were buried by the Spaniards, whose loss does not exceed 200 killed and 500 wounded. TRUXILLO, NOV. 4. Letters received from Castella confirm the intelli gence' that Salamanca was occupied by our troops on the 25th ult. and that the French had retreated to Tors and Camera. According to the last intelligence from the army of the Mancha, the head-quarters were to be transferred to Santa Cruz de Medula. We are informed that the enemy's force in the said province does not exceed thirty-eight thousand men. Since writing the above, notice has been received of the arrival of the Walsingham Packet at Fal mouth, from Lisbon, whence she sailed the 13th inst., REPORTED BATTLE IN THE MEDITER RANEAN. The following articles on this subject are from the Spanish and Portuguese papers received this morning. We leave it to our readers to form their own conclu sions. SEVILLE, NOV. O. They write from Mataso, under date of the 28th October, that a great number of ships were discover ed at sea from that place and much firing seen. LISBON, NOV. 4, The English have struck the last blow against the French Navy. The Toulon squadron which sailed from that port to escort a convoy bound for Barce lona, has been taken by the British fleet. This pleas ing intelligence was communicated to the Captain of ail English ship who happened to be at the house of, the Governor of Mataso, by the Marquis de Cou pigny. France is likely ere long to have no other ships but on canvass or in paint. German Papers and Letters to the 12th inst. have also arrived, and Dutch to the 17th. The following are extracts : It was rumoured at Hamburgh that NAPOLEON in tended to be crowned Emperor of Germany, having carried away from Vienna, as a preliminary step, all the archives relating to the German Empire. The French Agent and Commander of the Marine on the Elbe and Wezer, is busily employed in build ing privateers to cruize in the Baltic, on his own pri vate account. The fortresses stipulated to be returned to Austria, by the late treaty, but which are at present occupied by French troops, are to be previously dismantled. Preparations are making for blowing up the fortifi cations. The Russians are vigorously following up their recent advantages over the Turks, and the whole of Bulgaria is perhaps by this time in their possession. BANKS OF THE ELBE, NOV. le. The Congress which has been held for this last fortnight at the house of the French Minister at Ham burgh, M. de Bonrrien, at which the latter and M. Reinhard, now French Minister at the Court of Cas sell; presided, had for object the definitive fate of the Hanse Towns of Bremen, Hamburgh, and Lubeck, each of which had sent two Deputies. Monsieur Reinhard sets not with tile result of this Congress for Cassel to-day or to-morrow, from whence the whole will be forwarded to Paris. Bonaparte is said to have demanded a small sketch of the fundamental laws of the Hamburgh Government and Constitution, as well as thn►se of Lubeck and Bremen. The whole has been set up by Mr. Von Hesse and Borne other learned Hambu rgbers. The Minister, ArdiraL INTEL LICENCE. Reinhard, on taking leave of the. Deputies, declared to the Hatnburghers that he would venture to pledge EAST INDIA SHIPPING. , them his honour that Napoleon would confirm their that the ship UNI I'ED Km- - This day information was received at th .

By a Gentleman who left "Flushing on Tuesday last, we learri that the Garrison were busily employed in shipping ordnance stores for this country. The prevailing opinion in Walcheren was, that the island would be evacuated in a few days. We announced on Saturday the arrival of the Hon. Mr. ERSICINE, from America, in the AFRICATNE fri gate, which sailed from Hampton-roads on the 29th October.—Dispatches frorn the British Miniser, Mr. JACKSON', were received by this conveyance, but their contents have not transpired ; nor is it likely that any thing important can be received from that quarter till after the meeting of Congress. Mr. JACKSON has been uniformly treated with attention and civility by the Officers of the American GoVernment. We mentioned some time ago that several men had deserted from theAralcAlNE after she reached Hamp ton Roads with Mr. JAcKsoli. We understand that all attempts to recover the men have proved ineffec tual. In consequence of this affair the Officers had but little communication with the shore. Captain RAGGET did not go on shore during the two months that the frigate lay in these roads. By the AFRICAINE we have received American Papers to the 29th ult. from which we have given some extracts. But perhaps the most interesting ar ticle in these papers is the following short paragraph from the New rorA Evening Pest : " A report has reached town this morning from Washington, on which we place some reliance, that, Mr. ARMSTRONG has written to this government that any arrangement with France is utterly impracticable, and that all further attempts are abandoned ; in con ' sequence of which, it is added, negociAtions for an arrangement with England are begun with Mr. JACKSON." Mr. SYLVESTER, the Messenger, arrived yesterday morning at the Secretary of State's Office with dis. patches from Spain. Lord HOLLAND has been elected Recorder of Not tingham in the room of the late Duke of PORTLAND. The CONFIANCE, Capt.
