That part of Lord COLLINGWOOD'S difpatch which relates to the offer made by hint to the Governor of Cadiz, relative to the wounded Spanifh prifoners, will not fail to be read with high interell and the greateft fatisfation. The humanity difplayed by the gallant Britifh Admiral on this occalton, cannot be too much approved and applauded ; nor can we withhold from the Spanifh Governor the tribute of high admiration of hi; noble generofity, in offering to take charge of the wounded on board our fleet, and pledging the honour of his country fur their refforation, when recovered of their wounds. This illuftrious inflance of the humanity of civilized warfare is the more confpicuous, when controlled with the brutal apathy of the ferocious Ally of Spain. It is a fatisfaCtoty proof too, that though fate has thrown that generous nation into the teak with the enemies of the human race, it conti nues uninfeEted by the fanguinary example Pet to it. and Rill ads upon the fame principles of high honour and generous hoffility which has ever cha rafterifed the people of Spain. While fuel) feelings operate to foften the rigours of war, and alleviate the fufferings which neceffarily refult from it, we may Rill cherirn the hope, that . the caufc of. huma nity is in no danger from the example of brutal spa thy to every moral and focial fentiment, held out by the Corfican Ruffian, who fo lately declared that he had no time to attend to the duties of humanity.— The prefent generation, as well as pollerity, will do ample jullice to the generous offer of the Spanifh Chief, %vial every age will execrate the implacable holtility of the cruel and implacable Tyrant of France. Lord Netsou, we learn by plicate accounts, was sot killed ft om the main top of the Santiffima Trini• dada ; but by a ball from a iharp-(Looter in the main top of the Bucentaur. Of the enemy's Admirals at the battle of the 21t1, every one was either taken, or killed, or wounded. The French thip of the line faced is our own old fhip, the Swiftfure. The Berwick was denroyed.— Thcfc were the only Erglith flips the French had in their feivice. The arrival of Count WALSH Sweeny, in this country, has excited a great fenfarion. This gentle. man, previous to the French revolution, commanded one of the regiments of the frith brigade, fo celebrated under the old regime. Whether he was a native of Ireland, or a Frenchman defeended horn fame of the Irilh who followed the fortunes of the STUARTS, we can not potitively fay, though we rather think his anceltors had been for Tome time eflabliffied in France. When it was thought advifable by the Govetument here to form I►ifb Brigades in our Army, on the plan of the Irith Brigades, fo long and fo fatally oppofed to us by the French Monarchy, the officers of the French I►ilh brigades who had emi. grated were appointed to the charge of railing them, and Count WALSH DI &art ENT was made Colonel of one of the regiments. We know not why there rcgiments were afterwards incorporated with others, and the brigades extinguithed. Count WALSH, with others of thefe officers, returned after the peace to France, where he was entitled to confiderable pro perty. His wifc became a favourite at the Court of Madame Borg A PARTE, at the time when it wa s [b l ight to add refpeet to the new fovereignty, by employing the old Noble& about the perfons of the Sovereigns. Count WaLsit hin►fclf has been from the fame time a disiinguifhed favourite at the Court of Boraaritarr. Thuogli the tranfitions of thisgcntleman from the fer. vire 4,1 the govitsuNs to that of the King of ENO LAND, and lions that to the fervice of BONATAILTZ, arc far from bcingfubjea to the odious appellation of '4e.rtion, yet they are by no means returpmendations !idle reception• here, nor in France to uncondi oofitfpette4t, permiffion to come over on private It is therefore cvnjcaured by many, that .1; Count Stew: is come on fame diplomatic Assiaion and his having come fo immediately fubfelornt the mii:Gon of Count HAUGWITZ to Boxitatiss c9nfidered as an argument that he is the bettrer d► One propofitions connected with thofe of rrutqfi to France. We can offer no opinion of our own refpeaing the objea of this Gentleman's villt.—dt is poffible, how ever—and but barely poffible, that he may have been fent in confequence of the late fucceffes of the French, to hold out a thew of moderation on the part of BONAIPAITS, whofe chief objea, however, is in reality to infult, degrade, and ruin this country.— May all his attempts be covered with confufion ! YelLerday his MAJESTY, the Princeffes Aucusrs, Soma and APULIA, took their ufual ride inWindfor Park. Hcr MAlrsry and the other Princeffes took an airing by Slough. Yeflerday a Board of General Officers was held at the Duke of YORK'S Office, which was attended by the Dukes of KILNT and CUMICKLAND, Generals HARCOURT and HEWITT. A tranfport, with part of the 3oth Regiment of Foot, from Cork, is arrived in the Downs: the is the firft of ten fail expeaed every hour. The whole of the regiments in garrifon at Chelmf ford, are under ordets to march to Colchefter. The t4th and sa.th, marched on Tuefday ; the 6th, and 45th, on Wednefday ; and the Royal lucks and Durham, on Thurfday. This removal is underftood to be for the purpofe of accommodating the regiments of the line that are to pall through the town, to em. bark for foreign fervice. The Northampton Militia has received its route, to march from Braybourne Lees, to Chelmsford. The fitft divifion commences its march ors Saturday next. Captain AYR': finned his reply to Sir J. EINKR, on Tuefday, at twelve o'clock, when the Court was cleared, and the Members deliberated till two. They met again yellerday at eleven o'clock. Accounts received, via Bengal. from Madras, of the sBth of April, (late the arrival of an American chip at that port, from the Ifle of France, which place the left about the lath of February, with intel ligence, that another Admiral had arrived there from France, with a (hip of the line and two frigates. The BeUona privateer, of 40 guns, a very fall failer, had left the Ifle of France on a cruize. The lamented Lord Nstsott was the firft Corn. mander in Chief of a Britil Fleet, who ever fell in We are forry to add that so of the crew of the Te meraire were Ina in one of the enemy's ciptuted 'hips which was wrecked. One of the four (hips Caved is the Swiftfure, which was taken from us lail war. The day after the anion the Indomptable came out from Cadiz, and took on board the crew of the Bueentaure, which we had not at that time taken pollaion of; in endeavouring, however, to return to Cadiz, the ran aground, and was completely wrecked, and overy foul on board perilhed. FUNIIIAL or Loan Nat.:rm.—With becoming at tention to the feelings of the friends of Admiral Lord IsiaLsoe, and alto of the publie, the Herald's College will open a book, in which all noblemen and clergy men defirous of attending the funeral may infcribe their names, that they may be ranged in the proeeffion. The Prince of WaLss has fignified his intention of affilling at the ceremony, and of courfe his Royal Highnefs will be the chief mourner. It is a high and fplendid tribute of the Heir Apparent of the Crown to the greateft warrior that the Empire has produced fince the immortal Marlborough ; and we true that no pretence of etiquette will be reforted to, as we hear it is likely to be tried, to divert the &ft fubjed of the realm from his purpofe. It has been thought that it would have added to the magnificence of the folemnity, if the corpfc had been brought from Greenwich Hofpital to the jeru falem Chamber, and that from thence it had been conveyed in proceffion to St. Paul's. By this means both cities would have contributed to the mournful fplendour of the acne ' • but, we bear, it was thought, that at this feafon of the year, the dillance might have been inconvenient to many aged perfons who muff by profellion Alia in the proceffion. We think, however, that this may yet be recon fidered. It would be a fit duty for Inch Members of the two Hodes of Parliament as are in London, to join in the proceffion. All pasty confiderations ought to be laid afide—and in fuch a tribute of refpeet we fhould be proud to fee Mr. Fox and Mr. PITT hand in hand. Monday, at a numerous and refpeaable meeting of the principal inhabitants of Edinburgh, the Right Honourable the LORD PRovosr in the Chair, it was unanimoufly refnlved to open a fubfcription far tl►e relief of the fridnds and relatives of the (offerers ill the late glorious action off Cape Trafalgar. A fubfcription of a very laudable kind has been entered into by the inhabitants of the Town of New. cafile.upon.Tyne, for the relief of feamen who are prifoncrs of war in France. It was commenced in' confequence of a reprefentation made by feveral per foils confined atValenciennes and other towns, Rating that they were almnft naked, in confequence of their cloaths being nearly all worn out ; and that for want of other necelTaries, their fituation was pitiable in the extreme. The above mentioned fubfcription is confined to the relief of thole who are natives of the County of Northumberland. Yefterday a Court of Directors was held at the Eaft India Houle, when the chip Lady Barlow was taken up to carry Roods to St. Helena and Bengal. The Court adjourned, at fix o'clock, till Wednefday next. Earl N*Lsow is not the only clerical Peer of the realm having a feat in the Upper Houle of Fsarlia trent. Betides Lord Vilcount &MIMI', who is A►chbilhop of Dublin, the Earl of Halt BOROUGH and Vifconnt FAUCOKIIRG are both clerical men. A blood►e; Duel was decided on Tuefday morning in Hyde Pal k, on the fpot which is termed Buckden Hill. The parties were a Captain and Mate of an Eall India ship. They fired two ineffectual koseridg, (hook bands, andficered different ourfic. dcfe.rtic In triey ti 'ma 1 IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE , Oden, Captain RITTESTROM, of and for Sioqkholm, has a:lived at Dover, in ballad, from Cherburgh, which place the left on the 25th inflant, having, on prefenting a petition to the Minifter of Marine, in confequence of bringing a cargo from Sweden, obtained permillion to proceed home. By this vacl we have earnt that all the other Swedith Vet Tels which are at Havre and the neigh bouring ports have been feized by order of the French Government, and the Captains and Crews marched away for Rouen. Orders had likewife been receivedlat Cherbargh to detain all rads carrying the Autlrian and Ruffian Flags, and for Captains of privateers to bring in all veifels of that defcription, and alfo all Swedith Chips. By this veffel we have alto received intelligence of a very difabous nature. We with we could add that we had reafon to doubt its general correfinefs ; but we have but too good grounds to believe it will prove authentic in all its material points. Before Captain Kirrarraors left Cherbergh, the Moffitt= up to the 2111 inftant, inclnfive, had been received there. In this Official Journal it has been announced to the People of France, that the EMPs• ROI Of GERMANY has made PROPOSITIONS OF PEACE to Nato Leon, who bad returned an anfwer to the following effea : " When the Emperor of the French foal/ hare taken poi " Hon of Yuma, but not before that priori, will he treat 4 4 with the Emperor of Germany far the rcfloration ofpeace." Such, we are allured, has been the ConduEt of the Court of Vienna in confequence of the rapid progrefs of the enemy, and fuch has been the infolent anfwer of the French Emperor to the advances made to him by the Emperor of Germany : nor is this the fun to tal of the unpleafant intelligence brought by this vef fel—The Moniteur of the 20 inf. flats, in poitive terms, that Bonaparte is in poiligon of the Aaflrian Capital. Our information Elates, that he entered Vienna on the 9th Brumaire, but that we know was impolfible ; for the 9th Brumaire anfwers to the 3 t It of Odober, and we have had letters of the 2d inft. from that ca pital—and, betides, the Fifteenth Bulletin of the French army was dated on the 3tti of Odoker, at , Brannan. We with we could fay that this eircumflance gave us reafon to hope that the whole of the intelligence would prove unfounded, but we are fearful we fhould only be deceiving the public, were we to encourage fuch a hope. We rather believe that there is tome millake in the date, and that for gtb, we thould read igth Brumaire. The falfe date, however, cerbainly furniflies Come ground to believe, that the diallers fuftained by our Ally have been exaggerated, and we flail, in fpite of our fears, continue to indulge a ray of hope, that the next arrivals from the Conti -11 nent will enable us to (late more pleating intelligence. In the fame French papers mention is made of the late battle of Trafalgar. The Moniteur Rates that it Lined three days and nights ; that feveral (hips belonging to both fleets were de(troyerl, and that the tell had flood away to tea to repair their damages ! It fays nothing about the Combined Beets having attained a defeat. We are in anxious and hourly expectation of the arrival of our regular Pets of French and Dotch Pa pers. We believe Government have received papers to the date mentioned above, but we have not been able to find that there are any in private hands.

This day the remaining four troops of the German Legion (Light Dragoons) have embarked, men, horses, ((ores, &c. (the ref of the Regiment having been lying in the Downs.) The tranfpoas with the above four troops will leave the harbour for the Downs this afternoon, and then the whole Regi ment will immediately fail from thence to the Elbe. The heavy dragoons of the German Legion are the next to be embarked here. Three troops arrived here this morning for that purpofe, and to-morrow they will be (hipped. It is attonilhing with what fa cility the horfes are embarked from the Pier ; gene. rally two horfes in three minutes, if nothing particir lar occurs to hinder ; upon an average two in . five minutes ; and as they were embarked at Lx different points of the Pier at the fame time, the number (hip ped is at the rate of about tgo in an hour. The r Ith Regiment of Light Dragoons are under orders for embarkation, and are expe&ed here as Coon as the German horfe are gone. A party of artillery are lying here, in readinefs to go oa board at a moment'! warning. A great number of tranfports are coming into the Pier. It is raid to the number of eighty are ordered here from the River, &c. Sir SYDNICY SMITH was at kamfgate to-day, but did not remain here more than two or three hours. Gen. Luotow embarks here to-day, and fails this evening. CANT ERBUAr, NOVEMBER 26. In confequence of the arrival of a large number of tranfports in the Downs, the embarkation of the troops defined for the Continent hat been refumed with increafed aaivity. The remaining two fclea• drone of Light Cavalry of the German Legion, which were in barracks, at and in the vicinity of Ramfgate. have accorditigly been embarked. Three troops of the heavy cavalry of the German Legion marched yeferday morning from Canterbury to Ramfgate, for the fame purpole : the order direaing their more• meats did not reach them till late on Sunday night They will be followed by the other diviftons of the fame corps in fucceffion, till the whole are Ihipped At the fame time a Broiler order was fent down to Dover for four troops of the t tth Light Dragoons to prepare for immediate embarkation. Betides there, a detachment of gun drivers of the Royal Ar tillery, with three hundred horfes which are attached to the brigades of artillery that have been embarked at Woolwich, and are arrived in the Downs, have paged through Canterbury for embarkation at Ramf gate.

The sth regiment marched this day from Canterbury to Brabourn Lees, and the gad Highland regiment from Ofpringe to Canterbury, by which movements there Regiments are placed on parallel lines, within one day's march of the co.o, and from that it would feem that their embarkatiut , is not far dittant.
