To the above we may arid, from private authority, that a considerable e•tent of country on the Penobscot has been tai•:en t'o•se , .i►►n of by the British; and that .50 pieces of can. pin, and 1400 p► isoners were the results of these spit ited and vigorous meacura%!

Pen..bscot is on the south coast of the Main; the bay, one of the fit‘eit on the American coasts ; the fiver navigable for vets Is of one hundrtd ton e , up to the Falls, fifty miles from Op sea.

It is still affirmed that a camp will he formed near Cone. tray. The English garrison of Antwerp has orders to go to that side, and will be supplied by Datch troops. The army m ot i oned between Namur and Nenport, exelusive of the garrisons in the cities of the interior. is estimated at 60,60() men.

WT. 6.—The Prince SOvcreign gave. anrlitt~ce thin moining to the Constituted Authorities, psevioom to his dcp:t hire tor Holland, which is expected to take place to-morrow.-.( Nethcr.. lands Courant, Oct. 4.) French papers to the Ist inst. arrived on Tuesday. The picture which they present of the affairs of Spain grows daily more frightful. Disturbances - are now acknowsedged to exist throughout New and Old Castile, Estremaddra, Valen tia, and Catalonia, to such an extent, that the S'ecretary of War is officially authorised to send at his discretion bodies of foot and hero to exterminate the offenders. Neither these offenders nor their offences are at all described in the official order published on the occasion ; a document of which it is not easy to speak in terms of suthcient abliorresice. It or dains that a permanent Militaty Commiision shall he e s tas blished in each of the above provinces ; that all malefactors taken in the open country shall be bronOlt before them ; that no other Tribunal can claim jurisdiction ; that these . Tribunals may proceed without confronting witnesses ; and that their sentences, unless disapproved by the Governor of the province, shall be executed without 'dcla.y. Ferdinand has also evinced his gratitude to this country, by issuing 14 Decree, abolishing the regulations of the Cortet in our favour and prohibiting the importation of our cotton nanfac tures.—lt is ntnerted to beafact, that about two months ago the Spanish'Government requested a !Iran from the British Government of about ten miltions of dollars, intimating at the same time, that for such accommodation England should have the 'preference of every other nation in her trade with Spain, and the Spanish colonies. With this proposal, the British. Government did nest think it expedient to comply ; and to this disappointment on thepart of Spain may perhaps be attributed the hostile dectec against the British manufac. tures. • Many thousand pounds' worth of British goods, which hail been ordered for the - Spanish markets„,bave been countermanded. The Vengara Spanish may Of war had ar= rived at - Cadiz froM the Havannah, having on boatel four millioni of dollars. • French papers were received on Wednesday to the td inst. The Gaiette b Frairce" states, that• the English in Paris re port that . the American Government, fearing still greater disasters; has sued 'for peace;l and Adds, that the American Minister at the French Court had received intelligence to the same effect. The Journal des Debats, which also .speaks of the conquest of the'American capital, treats the Subjact in a manner which evinces a-very unfriendly spirit towards this co;i.ntry. The writer complains that the war is prose cuted in the new world .with the same fury that so long.de solated the old, and condemns the destruction of Washington as an imitatinn of the barbarous conduct of Buonaparte which we have so often condemned.. lie has, - however, -en. irely overlooked the facts, that private property was pro..
