The vain sad presumptuous enemy has announced his approach with extraordinary parade, and has pro claimed to all Europe his design to Bice the English from your shores ;he has done more—he has boasted of the conquest and subjugation of this island with his invincible legions ! • But what is the fact.?—This clamorous eniitny has scarcely taken the first step to attain his object,: after inviting the attention of mankind to the success of his enterprize, and the vessels which *ere tatratis port him to victoiy, he is under the necessity of pla , eing under the protection of his batteries to prevent their destruction,and extermination of those by, whom they are conducted.

The day before yesterday the Consistory of the Jews was solemnly installed in the Synagogue set apart for their worship in the department of the Me diterranean. M. Nunes Vais is grand Rabbin. The ceremony was honoured by the presence of the Pre fect, who complimented in a speech the conduct and civic sentiments of the Israelites of Leghorn. He remarked, that their loyalty and activity in commerce' :rad for a long-time contributed to the prosperity of the city, and merited the approbation of their several Sovereigns. The -generous policy of the Emperor Napoleon towards the Jewish Citizen's of his States was also suitably appreciated on this occasion. ZARA, SEPTEMBER to. The English have all of a sudden abandoned our shores, where they could gain An little by their pira cies. We are assembling at this moment a great number of Dalmatian sailors, for the service of the IFrench and Italian fleets. They are strong and ro bust young men, inured to fatigue, and full of hardi• . hood and ardour. They express the best dispositions.- Dalmatia, which furnishes excellent seamen, affords at the same time an invaluable resource by its woods, I fit for the building of vessels. The firs, with which •its mountains are covered, are small and knotty, but lof extraordinary hardness. In places a little more `' remote from the cmast, there arc immense founts, where tFe hatchet h never penetrated. Unfortu riattly the conveyance of these woods to the sea is I very difficult. _ _ ____ Teach this insulting enemy, that your lki,ariners, your Soldiers . ; and r. , tir Citizens have no other sub . ject of difference and competition with their Allies, but who shall he the first to destroy him, and .thtts 'Variously terminate the contest.

The Princess AmELLA is alive, but that is all that can be said of her hopeless situation. A Cadiz mail has arrived, brought to Falmouth by.the Nocton packet which left Cadiz on the tilth instant. Before she sailed intelligence had arrived of the - victory gained in Portugal on the 27th ultimo by the Allied Army ; and Cadiz was illuminated on the occasion. It was also reported that there had been a subsequent, battle in which the French were defeated with the loss of 20,000 men ; and' on the first arrival of the Nocton the above illOmination was stated to have been in consequence of the sec and victory, which gaye considerable currency to the rumour yester day afternoon. This . second reported battle appears however to test on no gond authority. A lette r which we have subjoined states the rumour to have no better source than the report of a Portuguese boatman. At two o'clock this day Mr. WALszt, one of. the King's Messengers, arrived at Lord LIVERPODLPS :Office, in Downing-street, with dispatches from Lord WELLvstrro..— There has been no second battle down to the sth. Dispatches to that date had been received from Lord Weaxisorox, by a Messenger, wholeft Lisbon on the7th. The dispatches are dated from Arcobaca, to the S.

Lordship retreated from the Banks of the Mondego on the evening of the first, as we understand. Meanwhile MASSENA continued to ad v . ince frcm Avellans, and crossed the Mondego.-- There had been some sharp skirmishing %iitli his ad. vanced guard.
