The French continued on the 16th at Moguer, Luz, and Niebla, and have many sick. The division of General Capons appears to be at Castillejos. Accor ding to accounts from Estremadura, Marshal Morticr, who had lately advanced with a corps of 5 or 6000 men, probably with a design to attack the division of General Ballasteros, appears to have desisted from that intention. In the mean time our troops have concentrated themselves in Frexenel, Fuente de Cill tos, and the neighbouring villages, and have received considerable reinforcements, especially in cavalry. .

They killed five, made five pri. soma, and took from them the cattle, though they had the misfortune to have an officer mortally woun ded, because he was so weak as to place confidence in the enemy who had promised to surrender, but after wards fired upon him. Many persons have lately arrived from Thomar and Torres Novas, from whom we learn that the extortions of the French have increased to an intolerable degree. They bring neither military chests, shoes nor baggage: every thing must be furnizhed by the peasants, all whose property, according to their military creed, be long to them. At Torres Novas they first began by asking cloaks, shoes, and other necessaries, but soon proceeded to demand 40,000 era zadoes. The inhabi tants finding they could not satisfy such a requisition, were obliged to fly. They did not, however, fly to Lisbon, but, uniting in small parties, have destroyed many of the French. Dac. N.—Matters remain much in the same state as when the last packet sailed. Massena appears to be strengthening himself at Santarem. Our army is in the same position in his front—General Hill is on the left bank of the Tagus, and the several corps of irregulars, which are in the rear of the enemy, are daily gaining strength. We are assured there are full 15,000 men at Coimbra. The enemy made an attack a few days ago on the Isle of Leon, but were repulsed with great loss ; we also lost some men and officers, but no doubt - the particulars have already reached you from C icliz. . _ _ _ _ _ Major Fenwick : of the Buffs, was killed this week in attacking about 100 French with only 30 Portu guese chasseurs ; he beat the enemy and took from them a considerable convoy of cattle, but the Major was unfortunately mortally wounded and seven men killed. PRIVATE LETTER.—CORUNNA, DECEMBER 10. Spain appears one entire Place d'armes. Wherever there are French, there are Spaniards to combat them. The Castilles are covered with Guerrillas, who attack the enemy at every point A few days ago they took a convoy with 6000 muskets, and 6000 uniforms, and various other articles, which were on their way from France ;o the troops in the Asturias. In the environs, of Madrid, there is a division of more than eight thou sand men, which makes even Joseph himself tremble on his usurped throne. All the Kingdom of Gallicia has now a military organization. The people exercise on the holidays. If we can collect funds, there will' be in this Province an army of 30,000 men by the spring, and that army would now exist, if we had had money to procure arms and clothing. I repeat to . you, that the French will never conquer this country. RN suffer, taut we shall be free. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. .

The Stockholm Gazette of the 7th December, con- tains a Proclamation, offering a reward for the ap prehension of the murderer of the late Count Fersen, and declaring as the result of the investigation on the subject that he was wholly innocent of the death of the late Crown Prince, adding, that the suspicion of his Royal Highness having been poisoned, proves to be wholly unfounded. Accounts from Ratisbon of the 19th November, mention that Napoleon had assigned a million of francs, to indemnify the inhabitants for the injury they sustained by the bombardment in the late war. STOCKHOLM, DECEMBER 11. For several days past reports have been in circula tion respecting th... independence of a neighbouring power, in certain propositions made lately to our Go vernment ; and it has Leen said, that our present friendly relations with that power were likely to cease, unless those propositions were agreed to in toto.— However respectable the quarter may be from whence the reports alluded to have proceeded, there is.no rea son to suppose that any further measures connected with the said propositions will be adopted, previous to the arrival of a Courier shortly expected from Paris.

STRALSDND, DECEMBER 4. • A circular letter has made its appearance, addressed by Baron Wetterstedt, Swedish .Anti. Chancellor to the Swedish Ministers at Foreign Courts, stating the reasons which have compelled his Swedish Majesty to declare war against Great Britain. The leading cause assigned is, his Majesty's wish to convince the Emperor of the French, and the public at large, that the reports industriously circulated, of a secret under. standing subsisting between the Swedish and British Governments, tending to favour the trade in British manufactures and colonial produce, were altogether destitute of foundation.

A Cabinet Council was sitting at the Foreign Office when this Paper was put to Press. We are happy to state, that the rumour to which we alluded on Saturday proves, as we hoped it would, entirely unfounded. Lord BURGFIERsII brought no communication whatever from Lord x.VELLINGTON ; and the fact is, that there was no wain of any kind experienced by the army at the time his t.ordship left it. Dispatches were yesterday received from Portugal, daed the 17th inst. and in the afternoon Lisbon Ga zettes to the same date came to hand. There have been some trifling affairs of advanced posts, but nothing particular has lately occurred at head.quarters, and the main hostile annies retain thesame pocitions which they respectively occupied at the dated ,f the former official ad vices. Major FiNWICK, of the Buffs, was killed in a re cent skirmish with the French. He is said to have fallen a victim to a misplaced confidence in the enemy having been shot by the party with which he was en gaged, at the moment that they pretended to surren 7 der. We find by the Lisbon papers, that General HILL'S division, reinforced by a corps of Portuguese Militia, guarded the southern bank of the Taps, while those of SILVIERA, MILLAR, and TRAM', fully occupied the attention of the enemy in Beira. Coim bra was considered tolerably secure, its garrison hav ing been reinforced to 15,000 oxen. Our troops were in excellent health and spirits. The papers also state that in a late attack upon the Isle of Leon, near Cadiz, the enemy were defeated with immense loss, but the particulars of this impor- tant affair are not known, • Some Dutch, German, and Swedish Papers to a late date also arrived yesterday, from which we have extracted the principal contents. It is confirmed that an armistice has been concluded between the gutsians and Turks.

Yesterday we received Buenos Ayres Gazettes the 16th of October. They announce the arrival the MPLETOE schooner, from Rio Janeiro, srithh patches to the Junta, from Lord STRANCORD. red tive to the blockade of the Rio de la Plata.
