' !But nothing can give a more striking display of the frantic rage with which the patriotism and loyalty of the Spanish 14atiatt has fired the soul of his Royal and Imperial Majesty, than the speech he made to his soldiers on the Parade at Paris, on the 18th or 19th ult. and of which the substance is given in the Moniteur of the 20th. In this speech he informs them, for their comfort and consolation, that " their labours in the field of glory are by no means terminated. Hitherto he had led them to triumphs through Austria, Prus_ ▪ sia, Poland, &c. ; but now they will have the felicity to traverse France, cross the Pyrenees, rescue Spain Id from the pollution of the English, and take a dread • fi t i vengeance on the Spaniards for their rebellion!

GERMAN PAPERS. At a late hour last night we received German papers to a late date, from which we have given some interesting extracts in the preceding columns.

PORTUGAL. ~: The following letter from an intelligent British Officer, in Portugal, will, perbups, throW some addi tional light on the blunders Which led to the late dis graceful Convention with JeNOT : " Camp, 7 Miles North of Lisbon, September 11. a I am seiry that no opportunity presented itself to me of wriiing to you since my last, oil' the Start, in the Channel. The baffling winds and calms, prevailed for a long time after, have given many of us cause to lament we were not sooner in Portugal. As the principal part of the business was decided previously to our landing, and the dispatchc?. of course immediately forwarded, you will, long ere this can reach you, have all te accounts of the actions of the 17th and 21st ult. It will, therefore, be of no use my detailing any part on these heads. 1 have only, in common with all ha?, to regret that Sir HARRY Butt. 'LARD landed so soon. Ha(' he been one day larcor, that gallant fellow, Sir A. NVELLEstar, would have had one of the most decisive victories ever obtained, that of the 21st. After beating them Most completely, and just on the eve of following up his conquest, did Sir H. 13 , :naRD make his appearance ; to whom of course, Sir A. WELLESLIgY was obliged, by duty,: to aiply for orders, when he was told, that he had done dry well, but that it was don:erotic to follow up too quickly—to halt, and encamp where he was,. and wait the landing of Sir Jottm Moone's reinforcements. This obstacle to Sir A. Watt:FALEY'S fame •wassnutit . . to be regretted; • - • " Sir A. WELLESLEV . had.7OOO of his army never is action.that day, and was determined to be in Lis bon before he gave up the pursuit. -Justcrr .wouid therefore have been obliged to surreedir at disEietionl: in place of which (shame be it said.!) he has obtained Terms, of which you will also by this time be in pos session;-- and - which,--in nianT, .will never add much lustre to the British Records: . . • We. cannot approach nearer Lisbon till the time by the Capitulation has expired, which will be in a few days. The whole of the British Army is now encamped, extending from the left lure to the Tagus, a few miles up from Fort Julien. The only thing, therefore, that I can pretest in The shape of news, is t!., distribution.of the same, which I subjoin. . The French Army is now very busy embarking ; 4000 went on board at Lisbon yesterday,. and it is said, and I believe too true, that theyare.taking an . . . immense deal of baggage with them, full of their plunder, &c. &c. It has been repeatedly reportee, that the inhabitants of Lisbon sent out to the CUM. minder in Chief, complaining of the outrageous man ner in which they were robbed and plundered. The prptilace exclaim, that if this be all the protection the Litish mean to give, they hat better have remained at home ! The British Adjutant-General was sent in, concerning the misunderstanding, since wliich.time have not heard so much of it., It is a, pity that vie luve so many old Wows, in our. service. .Had the command been properly bestowed on Sir J.Moonz, and, undcr him, HOPE, WILLESLEY, SREY.CICII I PAGEtt n.l a few more very able men, now with us, much would have been done that is not done. It is a psitively reported, that these brave Officers whom I have men tioned, or the gestter part of tkeni,.kave applied for leave to return to England. • Brigildier-G!..31g31 4!+;TIWTHER• left us. a few days ago, for Almeida, on the frontiers of Spain, supposed to he looking our for a strong positiosi.

If A ustr i a h as detdared or intends soon to declare, against France, it is sup posed vie shall go into Italy : but all these things we must wait for till Dispatches anive from our Go- vernment. " The enthusi.istie manner in which we are every wh,re received is past all descriptiou. tions in every town and •illage through which we passed took place ; and I understand, notwithstand ing all that has been said about Lisbon, that the inhabitants are preparing there for three nights re joicings when the British Army enters. It was in or ders two days ago, that the reserve were to hold themselves in readiness to march in. This was re quested by Juxor, from an apprehension of the po pulace rising, and murdering all thoie who happened to•be the last embarking. They are dreadfully ex asperated against them by all accounts, and, on re flection, there cannot be any cause of much surprise on that account. Since writing the above, I have heard, that a considerable part of the army is to go to Barcelona ; but as reports are many, and very contradictory, I do not think this is much to be depended upon. I now proceed to the detail of the Army, dated " CAMP, SEPTEMBER S. " GLEN EH At.

COVENTZARDRN Compastv.—The • Tragedy of The Gretiass Dasegkee, was last night only remarkable for the fine pathos and admirable effect which Mrs. SIDDONS imparted to the interesting Eufthraria. Ia her-filial attentions to Bander, and her strong expos tulations with the tyrant Disapirs, she most skilfully discriminated every emotion :that could be supposed to arise from the opposite passions of Love and Ha tred.—ln the Farce Of The Poor SekSer, ItectEoost was warmly received, and loudly encored in the favourite Air of “ Sleep on my Kathlane dear." MUNDEW was irresistibly ludicrous in Darby ; and FARLEY rendered Bogota nwirejrnig. character. Miss BOLTON and Mrs. Lterom were very melodious as Norah and Katklane. The himse was crowded, and the Proprietors have, very properly, to prevent confusion, distinguished each Box not intended for public reception, by a La bel inscribed a Private Property." Mr. HORNE Toortz has been seriously indisposed for several weeks past, at Wimbledon ; and, on Monday, his situation became so alarming that his immediate dissolution was expected by the Medical Gentlemen who attended him. Yesterday, however, their exer tions succeeded in producing a remarkable change on their patient, bin he still remains in such a state, as from his great age must, tender a speedy recovery doubtful. Dr.fbeatisom and Mr. CLINE have been in constant attendance on Mr. TOOKE, during the whole Of this week, and have slept in an adjoining apart rifmt:' Sir Faaw:is Bt tiiarr also attends the bedside Of bit friend with the 'mbit anxious and tender solici tude, and has only been two hotirs absent from him frOm the commencement of his illness. New Sueumes.--According to annual custom, the Loan MAYOR, the new and old Sheriffs, Alder men, &c. wen; yesterday in procession to Blackfriars bridge, where they took water on board the City barges, and,being landed atWestminster-bridge, went to. the Court of Exchequer, and were there introduced to the Cursitor Baron, by the Recorder, with an ele gant panegyric on the respectability of their private characters, and their fitness to fulfil the important of. fices to which they had been chosen. They were then sworn in with the usual forms, entered into the usual sureties, and received an eloquent charge from the CHIEF BARON.—The Resolution of Thanks voted to their predecessors on Thursday, by the Livery of London, in Common Hall assembled, was then read, when the late Sheriffs passed their accounts as usual ; after which the antient ceremony of chopping the tillers, and counting the hob-naik, was performed, and the old Sheriffs were dismissed. The procession then re turned to the barges, and finally from thence to the London Tavern, where a sumptuous repast was given. Thursday being the Annual Statute Fair at Walt ham Abbey, the shew of youth and beauty at that place attracted the mobility from every quarter for many miles round ; and the weather being tine, the day was celebrated with the customary ceremonies. Only a few accidents happened on this occasion, the most remarkable of which was, the demolition of a cart from Shoreditch, deeply laden with men, women, and children, in consequence of one of the wheels coming off. Great was the confusion and dis may.—Some ..p rains and bruises were, howevec, the only damages sustained by the passengers ; but they were under the neterrity of performing the remainder of their jaunt:) , on fuot. CHARGE OF Sik INOLIND. GUlLDHALL—Yesterday Caroline Main, alias E lr zabeth Mgionald, a fashionable elegant-dressed female, was charged by Alexander ISI‘Coy, of Invergordon, Ross-shire, in Scotland, with swindling him out of £5O. Mr. M.Coy, who speak, a mixture between the English and Scotch languages, stated, that about six months ago a man, who called hiniselltd•Donald. came to lodge at his house in Scotland ; when hahad been there about two mouths, the Fri sutler came, who, lie said, was his wife, and that she came from Cromar del about two months ago. M.Donald, whose name the witness had since [earned to Ise Edward Main, and that he is a noted swindler, left his house, as he said, to come to London on business, after having borrowed a considerable sum of money from the wit ness. In a short time aft.rwards, the prisoner pre tended that she had received a letter from her hus band, requiring her immediately to go to London. She persuaded the witness to indorse a bill for her for 501. and get her cash for it, to bring her to London. The bill was drawn on a respectable'hinker in this city. The bill was returned protested, the bankers not knowing any thing about the parties, and the witnets was obliged to pay the 501. lie came up to London in pursuit of them ; had been a week in town, and was not able to trace them, until yesterday he by ac cident met the prisoner in Cheal'side, when he had her apprehended.—The prisoner made no defence : she had a Solicitor attending for her, and she ap 'peated not to be the least agitated cr disturbed at the i charge. The Sitting Magi strate said it did not come under his Jurisdiction —if the prosecutor was fOol enough to indorse a bill, he must abide by his own folly. Mr. M , Coy declared that they had. ruined him and his f.unily ; the zn they had swindled him out of was immense, and he understood Main had ab. sconded. The worthy Magistrate expressed his sor row that it was not in his power to do any thing fur his relief. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. M.situscutouou-srancr.—Yesterday Hugge, journeyman to Mr. Broadwood, musical.instrument maker in Pulteney-street, was committed for robbing his ready furnished lodgings Of linen, furniture, and a silver spoon. • _ _ _ Forth, a publican from Aylesbury, applied at this office on• the preceding' evening for the -reco very of his niece, whom he had brought up, and who as decoyed from his house a fortnight since, by a gentleman, named Churchman, from London, with whom she cohabits. The publicax atated, that Mr. C. slept several nights at his house previous to andather Abingdon-races, and he returned again on tbs. 14th inst. on a shooting.party. The niece and her para mour were missing in three days atter, but her guar dian traced her io her lodgings in Roll's -rents, Mary la-Bonne, when Miss refused to return with her guar dian. This being a case of which the Magistrates could not take legal cognizance, they could only ad ‘'ise the complainant hew to proceed. QUEEN-SQUARE—YesterdAy Achar Baker was char ged-on suspicion of stealing a pointer. It appeared• that two Police Officers were at a menagerie in the neighbourhood of the Hay-market, waiting till the master came in, when the prisoner made his appear ance, leading his prey with a rope, and offered it for sale. The person in the shop, in the absence of the mas ter, declined buying ; but the officers, from his shabby appearance, thought he had not come honestly by the animal, and therefore detained both. In the course of his examination, he said he had the dog from vari ous persons, among whom he mentioned Tring the boxer, who was sent for, and although .he corrobora ted the statement made by the prisoner, he could not describe the animal. 'rite prisoner was, however, discharged, and the dog detained till the right owner is found. The miraculous preservation of the Cal: of Li3erty from the late conflagration is, we trust, a prop;tious omen, from whence we shall augur that the invaluable blessing in our favoured isle will survive 'the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds;' o , and that it will verify the prediction of the Roman poet, when he so aptly and so elegantly said— •` Ergo etlam, cum me supremos dait ignis " Virarn parsque mei magma s iperstes erit." An Irish gentleman being lately present where a bookseller was asserting that more money was got by dead authors than by living ones, exclaimed, " At rah, Sir, but if you do not encourage flying authors, *here the devil will you find your daid ones ?" The recent Failure of the two Lottery Coatrt e ors has proved, that in Lorne in3tan:es there Are too many iltatie to a trize ! On Thursday night last, about half past ten O'clock, a fatal accident happened to the Rev. Mr. Vicazits. of London, on a visit to Ramigate. He had cruied with a party of friends at the Londe*Hotel diem, and parted with them in the evening : he went out about ten o'clock, unaccompanied by any other person, to walk on the East Pier-head. He had got nearly to the extremity of the pier, at which place Sir WILLIAst CURTIS'S pleasure yacht lay moored alongside, when, in looking over, the night being dark, he stepped too far, and fell between the vessel and the wall (against both of which he is supposed to have struck in his de scent into the water), a height of about thirty feet, and was taken up with several bones broken, and otherwise so dreadfully bruised and lacerated, 'that he expired about three hours afterwards.—A Coroner's Jury sat the following day—Verdict ikcidental death. On Saturday evening last, between the hours of s i x and ten o'clock, some daring villains broke into the house of the Rev. Sir ROBERT PEAT, of Norton-street. It appears Sir ROBERT had lately had a lease granted of the above premises, and having employed a work man to repair the house, left town for Worthing. He had put several large trunks, &c. filled wit)-.- - plate, linen, books, clothes, &c. into an upper-room, and had left a man Servant in the house to sleep in the room. He had, however, unfortunately left the house on Saturday evening, when the robbery happened.— The servant returned at half-past ten, and on going into the room discovered on the floor a candle burn ing, a dark-lanthorn, and a favourite little spaniel lying on the fluor. irfost of the trunks, boxes, &c. were rifled ; but we understand the principal loss Sir ROURT has to lament is that of some valuable pa pers, writings, &c. respecting his estates in Poland, which, although of no use to the robbers, are of sn rieus importance to hip.
