LONDON: MONDAY, SEPTERICII 4. YLSTERbA Y Spanish Papers to the lath inst. and this morning French and Dutch Papers, the former to the 27th, and the latter to the 31st of August, were received in town. The Negotiations fur Peace between France and Austria are still protracted—and NAPOLEON appears determined nut to quit Germany till all doubts shall be re. moved respecting the definitive termination of the grand contest. Spain and Holland are evidently objects of inferior attention. The fall of Flush ing is announced in the Amsterdam Gazette—in which it is attributed principally to the truants. dues fire of our ships. The Gazette of Saturday is perhaps the most' humiliating that has been pablished•in the present Reign. From the newly.crvated Viscount of TAL4VENA we have an ample confirmation of the hopeless slate of the Peainsnla. To cu lminate on this subject were now fruitless— the truth is, that no hope now remains but that of the possible escape sof an army whom. proud success at Talavera the Park and Tower guns so recently announced—and for which exploit the Viscounty of lVelliisgton was so happily superadded to that of . the Barony of Douro, before the retreat from Talavera was announced. The effect of the battle of Talavera, fur which this Viscounty was conferred, has been the retreat of the British army to a position in which, according to the consolatory hope of The Times of Saturday, it will be safe. The conso. lotion arising from a victorious army being in a state of safety, is certainly somewhat paradoxical. The hope expressed respecting this wounded left at Talavera appears to us a very unnecessary doubt.—There are letters in town, which eon. fidently affirm the Noble Viscount tit have quitted the British army fur an interview with his brother, the Marquis—and that such inter. view bgs taken place. IVe shalt now see what the united rigour of the Statesman sod the War. rior will effect In the Peninsula. Tut Earl of CUATHAIt returns, 49 we expected and predicted, without having effected the cap. tare or destruction of the French fleet at Ant. were. He has, however, captured Flushing— for which the Park and Tower gnus were fired— and appears to be as well entitled to move a step higher iii the Peerage for this exploit, as was the Baron of the Douro ; if the same principle be acted upon, he ►nay surely avire to the rank of Marquis Middlebargh, of Walchereti. Thc Courier of Saturday, as we anticipated, followed the humble recantation of The Morning Post of the same day—and, utter enumerating the imports* . parposes answered by the fx pedition—coachmks with the following bpautiful specimen of imitatioi.—The Reader will. per. ecire that a passage in •s Volney's Rains of Expires," hail gut into the Author's head : " This purpose', it cannot be denied. the ilnpetlitine did " gunner, though we aunt &dint, dist it Ad a.f seenompVib' " all we it ished and raft/whet ; awd Met ft dos we "Alia, " Srateller echo Mould be jetarnestng armed* arailleg 411 . 4 " Flanders, to sag, here *nee flinerienedifeberrp. and bon " owes teal eferistidnble Navy."

On Friday morning last the Princess of WA Les, accompanied by the Duke of Baunswrek OxLs, and Lidy ErriNnuA3t, set out from Blackheath, on a visit to the Princess CuattLorra of IVALLs, ' at Bognor, where they arrived the'same ev..tiing, and were received in the most alrectiJuate manner ,by her !Loyal-Highness. They remained at 13.,g. nor until yesterday : on their wav home, the PaINCEss set his Highness down at oatlinds, and proceeded on to Blackheath, where her Royal Highness arrived at eight o'clpck. We understand that Cuxhaven is now occupied by a detachment.of French troops. There has been a report that a fornsidableinsur. rectiots had bruken out in the Duchy of Magda. burgh, and that four re...;inients of Westphalian 1 troops had received es ders to prleeed to the Elbe, which they reluctantly obeyed. This requires confirmaiina. The brig Concord, Fuss, Master, sailed from Now York; on the '2Bth ult. she met with a very severe gale of wind, is hich carried away her bow sprit, and occasioned her fore-top-mast and head of the fore-mast to give way, also the main-top. nil-yard.

Nine sail of the lino, the Amethyst frigate, and the Serapie and Ig4motsfh stoic-ships„ have ar. rived at Portsmouth, with prisoners on board, from the Scheldt. General MoN,lrr, the late Governor of Flushing, came in the Monarch. The prisoners amount It, 5,9UU, and are composed of French, I)nteh, Swiss, Poles, Austrians, and Italians. The Dtnish ships, and several ether men of 'war, in Pertsmonth harbour. are fitting up to receive them. These prisoners make the total number in confinement at that port 1 General Mesmer, and all the (Mews, ilave landed, :wd are gone on their parole.-.—Gen. M. is gone to Otliham.

" Our army is immediit..ly to be employed on a fresh, and, we trust, a Inure successful expedi tion. Others were on Saturday night dispatched from the Admiralty to Sir K.
