Hi s-ietbs--Eicheciser Bitia 816 A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, with letters and papers to the 4th instant, bat they bring ifto news. The accounts from Head-quarters, received at Lii bon, continued to state, that Lord Wita.tinivii in tended to advance into France. At a late hour yesterday afternoon, the Ports mouth Telegraph announced the arrival of hit: Ma jesty's ship DICTATOR, from Passages, which port she left on the 10th instant, with intelligence that Lord WeLLINGTON hid driven the French from their positions, and had advanced into France: On the ,th instant, his Lordship, with the Ist and Bth division,. crossed the Bidassoa, at Iran, in front of . .. Bayonne, and attacked and carried in a gallant • banner the trench Elie, killing al out 100, ind taking goo prisoners.. Hii Lordship afterwards occupied the Ifne with his army. The British loss Vta..4 .about 200 killed and wounded. No Officer ell. The British positions are now between three and four leagues froM Bayonne, between the Bidaisoa and the Nivelle: A movement of this kind, which we were prepired to etpect by all the late acCelints, cannot but add to the perplexity and distraction of the French councils. All the intelligence froM the North Of Eutope tends io prove, that froni the defence of that frontier no force can be spared for the protection Of the Sotith. :---the tyrant is now closely pressed on every side. 2nd the Allies, with a anitY of action which does Cre, dit to their Councils, give bite not a moment's rest. In *Pat an eleirated situation does the preient posture Of Europe place the character cf this country and those *rho guide her affairs. But for the unbroken apiiit of Britain; but for the magnanimity she has displayed to the oppressed nations of the Continent, Europe must still hart lain prostrate at the feet of the merciless tyrant who now writhet with the agony Smelted bt autceisful resistance. 1••••••11, Some farther eitracts from the French Papers rfb iiced yesterday are given in otir colututs of to-day. Front Dresden they communicate nothing new, but from the seat of the campaign in Italy we have Intel ligente tb the 30th nit: The scene is laid in the vici riity f Which Plate, according to brines ac. Counts, was triumphantly entered by General Aunt the Austrians, and, if we mistake not, the English also (for we bad a tonal' flotilla off that port), having evacuated it ht the approach of the "Frenth. The aceotint is very confused, bit we can ' easily see that the French have been again driven froth Fiume. AdlersbUrg, to which Pitostani jUtitfed It proper to withdraw," is 15 or '2O Matt 2North from Trieste, which the trench *till retain— but Gotschee, which the Austtigns occupy in force, is stoiit the Slime diitinCe North from Fiume. Now, if the head-quarters of Beau/ma/ion are really at Laybach, the Austrians at Gotschee are interposed between him and PAL ottetni, and are thus enabled tb thrtaten, if ik4 do not already occupy, Trieste is *ell as Fiume. Taking into consideration the irn: portance of these harbours to Austria at the present crisis, we must suppose that General HILLIXR, who opposed to 13EAutinaziots, is insirdcted to make a most desperate effort to recover the &orate for the House bf Austria. The eihausted finances of the Vienna TreasUry will thus be effectually recruited from the revival of commerce, which must itriinedi ately follow the recovery of Trieste and Fiume. A Frankfort article informs us that the reserves are rapidly coming up from the FrenCh frontiers to wards Saxohy. This is, of course, with a view to force the communications with Dresden, "To rts it does appear surprising, at a moment like The present, when the sense of oppression and injuries has roused the nations of Europe to attempt the re covery of their independence, that any should be found in this country who should question the pru dence of our exertions in the common cause, from considerations of mere economy. The pecuniary ex pense of war is a great evil. To affirm this is, however, a mere truism. The question of policy is simply this: Which is the greatet evil—that a Nation should ex pend money in defence of its - property; its rights, its security and independence ; or preserve its treasure to be wrung from it afterwards in the shape of requisi tion: by kf, unprincipled conqueror. The nations of Europe have no alternative but resistance at whatever •pease—or subjugation, and complete tobbery. Can men be said to preserve their property who only re serve it to become a prey ? What would we think of the landholder who would save the expense of repair ing the dikes which protect his lands against the en ,..roachments of the ocean ? And shall we cease to resist the flood of modern barbarians which has ham dated Europe, because forsooth the resistance may occasion expense. . • • riis.Rbk-ik F A MI • , •• Urn **Ong the .!1 acfPiPPODied by the Printestkes liusaitra Maßii went to Spritt-groft,Sinalibeirpsteen, the. at of sir Joskre BAsass,-wheit they were reeeiVed by Sir Josses and Miss &sates.

DRURY-LANE THEATRILThe run of the DeW piece called Godolphin, or the Hero el the North, has been but short : at its conclusion, last flight, the disapprobation so far predominated over the applause, that Mil, WALLAOK, who came on the stage to announce its repetition, after waiting amid a loud clamour, and in vain ititreating to be heard for acontiderable time, at length gave place to Mr. RAYMOND, who produced a Cahn by announcing the Honey Albin for this evening.

Preparations are :slaking for the rethoval of the seat of Government to this city.—General O'rfonneli has left this city for the Baths : he it in good health, but his wounds require great and immediate attention." A Gentleman, wlio had the fact from an American Senator, informs us, that in a tominittee of 'Congress appointed to examine into the actual state of Ame rican Navigation, it was lately proved, that they had 14,000 foreign seamen in Ainerican bottoms, of whom about 12,000 were supposed to be British ; and of these only 1,600 naturalized as American citizens.— It was in consequence of this that the Seamen's Bill was brought in—a Bill which comes much nearer to the laws and usages of the European States than the practice hitherto contended for by the American GovernMent. In fact, by this law America gives up the very point for which Ste went to wart but the law is not to bo acted upon till peace shall tie restored. Advices from Rio Janeiro, to the 1 lth of August, state, that the Loam and Cumuli had sailed fOr the West coast to protect British commerce, which bad of late been greatly molested by the privateers fitted out by the merchants of Lima. It appeared that Limenians were still actively employed in fitting out privateers for the express purpose of cruising against the British trade on the coast of Chili; and of annoy ing the South Sea whalers. A Spanish ship had arrived at Rio Janeiro with troops on board from Cadiz, for the relief of Montevideo. They reported that an expedition was to follow them, for the purpose of subdUing Buenos Aires. A letter has been sent from the Lords of the Coun cil to the Commissioners of the Customs, dated the 11th instant, stating, that it having come to the know ledge of their Lordships, that certain vessels laden with butter and cheese had been admitted to entry at the Custom-house, from the ports of Holland, un der an Order in Council, dated in Febrtiary last, their Lordships were clearly of opinion, that the Or der in question was never intended, nor could be taken to protect vessels coming from . Holland with butter and cheese ; and directing that such practice skovg forthwith be discontinued. Afrszticituct CAP/ITRIIS Bt 'nth AMMICANS.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER LATELY MEWED FROM AN OP- DICER OF THE MADURA ttiatob, DAT= FROM 71')IWAS UPON THE FRENCH PRONTIER. " I am just returned from an expedition into France. The regiment of Leon, arid the legion of . Estramadura, were ordered to make a recohnciisince of the - French force in this quarter. We crossed the. Pyrenees in the middle of the nigtft, over mountains `and rocks, the most stupendous :tied awful. gg At six in the morning we descended into tlse plain, the inhabitants flying befoie us, and passed to the right of St. Juan Pie de Port, and arrieed at some villages near St. Miguel. The French' sliewed no troops ; but after we had collected about 3000 head of cattle and sheep, with a number of horses, mules, asses, goatt, &c. the peasatOry, who areall armed, collected in considerable fo rce , an d ma d e #n attack upon us. We succeeded in securing the whdle of our forced requisition, without having a singre man killed et wounded, and besides partaking of sontk fare which we had been long unaccustomed to, every one of our soldiers contrived to carry off something • portable. g g Pampltna still holds out. General Mina Espert., with his division, arrives to-thorrow from Arragow, to relieve us from our duty here. Meantime, You may safely say, that our division (General Mitrilko's) draw their rations from France." WARWICK,. OC7VBER 14. A circumstance very . unusual in this neighbour. hood, occurred last night, about eight o'clock. Two men, with masks on their faces, and covered with smock frocks, stopped a Gentleman on the road lead ing from this town to Stratford, and robbed hitt et 8140. Four men were instantly sent out in pursuit of the robbers and were out all night, and many have started in pursuit this morning, so that we have some hopes, from the general hue and cry, that the robbers will not escape. The Gentleman robbed received nu wound, but had his clothes torn in the scat. Tuesday evening a serious affray took place at it public.house in Pembroke -street, Plymouth.Dotk, be t ween a patty of Militia and some sailors. The cause of the dispute has not yet been torrectly ascer- - tained, but, we understand; some of the 'seamen were very severely wounded. The town was' in at complete slate of uproar, and it was with the utmost difficulty the soldiers were driven to their barracks; which was effected by the perseieringexeftions of the, nmaglian and the Lancashire Militia. We!nesday a Court of Ditectors was held at the' East-India House, ashen Captain Ruin was sworn nit° the command of the Royal Charlotte, destined to Batavia and China ; as was Captain HALIBURTON into the.Glatton, consigned to Sc. Helena and China. Wedneday a ballot was taken at the East.lnclia.t House, for the determination of the following gum. tion: That Mr. Pam' CASIPBELL • late Master of the extra ship Lord Keith, be restored to the Corn. pany's service." At six o'clock theglasses were closed and delivered to• the scrutineers, who reported the same to have been carried in the affirmative. Saturday a Court-Martial was held on board the OLaninvorr, in Portsmouth Harbour, the Ri g h t Hon. Lord AirgLius BEaucLing, President, to try Mr. Thome Riley, Midshipman, of his Majesty's ship GRAMPUS, for disobedience of orders and for being drunk, on the 2d of October, when on duty in the Dock-yard. The COrrt were of opinion, that the charges were proved, and did adjudge him to serve before the mast on board such ship as the Comman.% der in Chief may direct, and rendered unworthy of serving as an officer in Ins Majesty's Navy.
