'The Voluntary Contribu rims towards the defence, of the =vary continue to be numerous, and• their iiigate amount is already i.wisidorable. General Pain* Stedningk 'has sub scribed 1000 rix dollars (about 2.501.), for that pa tristic. purpose.

It is situated in the Principality of Teschen t among moms . isms at the extremity of a narrow pass, which forms its connnuniCation with Hungary. " The same letters mention a circumstance which i$ .not generally-lcnown, namely, that the Military Gen tleman who is c.l4elly etiployed by the present Grand; Vizier to refes-m the Ottoman troops, is an Officer of suporinr talents, who served many years in the' Aus trian Avidy ; he has also introduced the use of the -bayonet among the Turkish infantry, and meets with little opposition on the part of the officers and soldiers, witi chal i g 2ard to the new system of tactics which he is to introduce. • Py ig to what was before known.

Other private letters received by the Mail, state, that apprehensions are entertained of an attack upon Sweden from the island of Zealand. It is with deep regret we announce the loss of *, Majesty's frigate CRESCENT, of 36 guns, Captailr TEMPLE, in one of the late severe gales on the coal of Jutland: What renders this misfortune the more afflicting is, that Captain TEMPLE* and the whple Of the crew, :With the exception only of about 40 unfortunately perished. We are sorry also to state, that the JUPITER man of war, and a transport, have been lost in Vigo Bay.— The particulars we have not yet learnt. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN. J The long-prevailing E. N. E. winds prevented the arrival of any vessels with intelligence from Spain. One vessel has however reached Falmouth, with the change of wind. The letters have not yet been de livered out ; but, if we may credit the accounts from Falmouth, she brings favourable news. The follow ing short letter reached•us just as we were puttip; oar Paper to press : " FALMOUTH, DECEMBER LI. " The ORES TES sloop of war has arrived from Co rutin* in eight days. The accounts by this vessel, so far as we have been able to collect them, are satis factory. The 7 amount briefly to this : Accounts that the British Army had joined had reached Co runna. The French were not iu possession of Ma drid en the 4th instant." When the Oarszcs left Corunna on the 14411 inst. it was known that the French had advanced towards Madrid, and that they were in possession of the Es curial ; but it was reported, and generally believed' in Gallicia, that the French had been repttbeetViith" great slaughter in an attack upon Madrid. Government have receivcd Dispatches kali' : JOHN MoORE, dated the Bth inst. Sir Jolly, lie un: derstand, states, that he had not received any posi tive intelligence of the progress of the French, but he had received accounts that Madrid still held out. Sir Jomi also adds, shat he was taking measures to effect a junction between his own Army and that of Sir DAVIth BAIRD. This is the substance of the dispatches flora Sir JOHN MOORE ; and the acecnnts from Corunna state, that he had pushed on a corps to Zamora, for the purpose of facilitating bis junction with Sir AVDID BAIRD. When this junction shall have %aken place, there will be in S pain an united BrAish'' Arspi of 40,000 men. • t. i • , The Army of the Marquis DE ROMANA, which: is at Leon, amounts to 20,000 men, and is daily; increasing. I The reverses sustained by the Spaniards have not created any feelings of despondency. . i The LADY PELLZW packet has been dispatched' from Corunna for Lisbon. Some additional Dutch Papers have reached us,• from which we have given a few extracts. It will be seen, by a letter of the 10th instant, from Frankfort, that NAPOLEON has not retina in his measures for augmenting the number of troops to be employed against the Spaniards. The Army of Reserve, which was assembled on the Rhine under Marshall Krizia- MAN, has received orders to march to Bayonne., These Papers report that king Joachim& prepatinti an expedition against Scicily, but the presence 4. 1 ,1 1 1 British squadron in the Mediterranean, suaded, will be sufficient to deter his Majesty from: this Enterprize. ati °Mai" !

The Deputies of Aquilla, Matera, and Bassilicati, have had the honour to be presented to his Majesty. All the troops in our gariison have been reviewed by .the King. He inspected the whole line, which ex tended along the Chiaja, from ,Chiajamone to the extremity of Mount Pausilipe, and directed several mancenvres. ROM f, NOVEMBER in. General Miolis set out yesterday to inspect the sea coast, and to take the necessary measures to prevent any landing of the English. Here as well as in the three new departments of the kingdom of Italy, in Metanro, Mu sine and 'Prento, the greatest tranquility prevails. The fermentation which prevailed among the inhabitants of the three last provinces is now com pletely suppressed. His Holiness the Pope lives new in a very retired manner. }le is seldom seen in pub "lie, and his table has scarce '2O covers.—Some days ago a small feet was observed off L eg horn and Civita Vecchia, which was supposed to be French. By ac counts from Naples, there appears to be no doubt that it was a French sqUadon. King Joachim is gone to Reggio, where number of the best troops are collected. In Calabrie are also collected two French divisiont, each Bor 9000 strong. Sicily can be the only object of these preparations, and the re sult of the operations will be of thn utmost importance. —We learn from Palermo / that the unexected con quest of the island of Capri bas occasioned the great est astonishment in all Sicily ; and on its being learned that the taking of that place is followed by preparations which seem to indicate a still more im p-it:int enterprize, this astonishment was speedily changed to lamentation. The Court appears rather to be taking measures for flight than for defence:— The principal articles of value are already packed up, irLd even a great number of brass cannon have been embarked.
