The in , ,uri;ents have two armies, which are commanded by Generals Mo RE 1. Los and RYAS. The former lett'. taken Acapleo, after a long blockade. After its capture 1:e pushed on towards the Tab:e land, or plains of New Spain, defeated the Royal Army, and advanced towards Vela Cruz. The Royal General, CALL EJAS, fell back, in older to save his magazines in his rear, and to get aid from Vera Cruz. He also intreriched himself near the Castle of Puotte, where MORELLOS attacked him, and gained a complete victory. CALL. EJ AS and part of his Staff are reported to have been ' taken prisoners. After this victory Vera Cruz was invested. It is also said that the city of Mexico was besieged by 70,000 men, under RYAN. Several persons had left the United Sta'es with a view to join the insurgents. Several Officets recently arrived from Burgos mention', that the main body of our army was some leagues in advance _of Burgos. These Gentlemen know nothing of INI ASSEN nor of reinforcements ; and do not think that either have entered Spain. Our sick and wounded from Salamanca have mostly recovered and joined the army, which is by no _means unhealthy. Adv ices received from Paris of the 24th ult, state, that Buow APA RT a bad sent for 2500 . carpenters and masons ter join' hint at Moscow :if this is t r ue, it is probably a mere repetition of a recruiting trick which he is said to have played at the opening of the campaign. He then took with him an immense number of • artisans of various kinds, agri culturists, and gardners, giving out that he intended to form new Colonial Establishments, and these artisans were accom- - panied by a great number ofwOmen of the town, who were to form put.. of the new colonies.

Their contents bear a character nearly shr.ilar to those we have of late been in tie habit of teceiving. The A !review% Fxecutive conttnae th:•ir measures of hostility ; but t!te sense of the people at large is decidedly against the conduct of their Rulers; and meetings continue to be he d in a!! directions, at whit h the strongest resolutions 'ale entered into against the farther prosecution of the war. The me , t conspicuous of these meetings is that of Detee - tes from 3-t difq..tent counties, anthli-tricts, and s itself. The Ne..v Yolk Convert ion.

Sir *lent BORI.ASE \V A natert had arrit,ed at Ilalitax ; and it was known that he wa; inve•ted ' with felt po.,e,eti to negociate. The sentiments of the A meri:.•an Government, in regard to the propose-I nega. Ciation, were not publiciV known ; but the Members of the :Cabinet, in So:11C of the States, 81C undertocd to. have declared, that " whatever may be the propositiotn; of peace which Admiral \V A FAUN may bring out, the war will be continned till Canada is conquered." If this lie true, there it iittie hope of peace indeed. An article from Halifat , , of the 9.d tilt. states, tht.t a flag of truce had ain't\ ed flons Washington ; I,nt no.hiatg appears to have resti!ted from it. The Americans have made no lies') atte , opt of any con:e einence in Canada. The capture of Fort Wayne is con firmed ; betides which there is a repart of some disasters . having happened to the Ammicans at Niagara. General DEA nuottNE and his at my had undertaken no operation whatever. I The following is a list of the ships of war on the station, the Rill ult.—San Domingo, man of war, Admiral Sir J. W A RItEN ; Poictiers, man of war; Africa, man of war; Spartan, Maidstone, Nymph, Acasta, HEolus, tt.tatira, and Shannon ft igates ; Rattler, Morgiana, Recruit, Tartarus, Colibri, and Plumper, sloOps of war Juniper, Brean, and Cottle schooners.—TotaLthree men of ' war, nine frigates, six sloops of war, and four sehoonets.— This formidable force has excited much alarm in the ports 'f the United States. From the following paragraph given Courier last night, it may.pretty accurately be . inferred that M. CAN NING will shortly resume his seat in the Cabinet:— " One of the toasts given by Mr. CANNING at the Liver pool dinner was'" the ,heatth. of his Majesty's present Mi nisters,'. to which we beg to. add another .toast,.and.we are sure it will be •in uniwn.with the wishes of the whole coun- try— " May Mr. Canning soon be one of his Majesty's Ministers!" We understand.. from good• authority, that the. Earl of MOIRA has been offered and has accepted the joint offices of Covernor-General •of India and Commander in Chief of his Majesty's forces in that peninsulp, and in all.the settle ments beyond the Cape of Good Hope. .. --J.-4 -- N p 0 p"
