Tim Wool of our vise sad vigorous Mitlitters to ratify the arrangement made by Mr. Eitsatma, bas 'produced that effect which moat have bees anticipated by every one, who had out am under. standing so iacapatic as to believe that America would tamely submit to that fresh insult. The following Proclamation was received in town this sponging, and was brought from New York, by the General Gore (American), which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday last : « AT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

By a private 'MIMI in one of these Papers it appears that the British' Army bad at length entered Portugel. The !mid winter* of L tr 4 WCLLINGTOS were at Elvas, and the troops were continuing their mareh, as It was supposed, towards Lisboa,. Want of pro.. visions continues to be assigned as the wow of this retreat. General lisassrotto remained art. Caner Bet. co. All idea of expcliiv the French from Spain seems at last to be abandoned, and the preject is now noderstood to be Cie defence of ker. Caged. Of what pussible utility our prmettee in tha impoverished part of the Petsiosula can now be to us, is completely problematical, The troops under Gallo s fur o.nbarketioa are, however, dui. tined to reinforce our arioy in Portugal. The dig. patelhs from Lord WELLS:6O7OY, in-the (isle of Saturday even:stg, contain the p;rticulars of Sir Roma Wit,son's defeat, and the capture of the mutton of the reer-goani of Cetsm• The terms in whit* Fair itosanTes defeat is mentioned are most eoneiso—..and In speaking of this Miser, there is an effeotation of stsporiority and -indite.

It is confi. dently stated, and by no one contradicted; that no fewer than 10,000 men are already in the Hospitals, and that this number is hourly in. creasing. To the bad quality of the water is principally imputed this calamity. Such, indeed, is the rapidity with which the disorder has communicated itself, that serious apprebe . n. sions are already entertained for the safety of our troops in . Walcheren Certain crazy heads, who, like Marplot, in the Busy Body, can never be at rest, have taken upon thensselves to agitate the public mind by the satin. ordinary suggestion of a Jubilee on the 25th Oc. tober nest, on which day his MAJIITY will have reigned the period of forty-trine ye ors.—New jubilee, a season of rejoicing, at a crisis so i:nminently awful to the people of this country, must appear, to every man possessing the ordinary powers of the human mind, one of the most incom. prehensible acts of felly, that ever entered the con ception of a Beitig l giftal with tha attribute of rca. son. To his M ___AJZSTY, such a measure, at such • moment, we are well convinced, must be ab solutely disgusting. In the first place, the period is not arrived when such a Mehra titan could, under any circumstance, take place—for until the conclusion of the fiftieth year the period is nut accompl,shed—so that at any rate the luminous dictate of these wiseacres is premature by 12 months. But, passing ever this Ciric Anachronism, what but indignation and con tempt ran be the feelings of our Sovereign and of the people of England, when we adrerito the matchless presumption with which " the Merchants and Bankers" of the City of London have bad the effrontery to dictate to the people of England. This is, we believe, the first instance in which the 64 Mcrebants and Bankers" have assumed the 44 places of the 46 NOI/114, Gentry, Clergy, 66 and Yeomanry" of England, in whose names all public measures were heretofore wont to be announced as the voice of the country.—" At 64 a meeting of Merchants and Bankers, &c. re it solved, That in the opinion of this Meeting, it cc is expedient to celebrate the fiftieth miniver " nary of our virtuous and beloved sovereign, &c."

They bare submittel to mock —but it is not pos. siblc to believe that the" Nohiliti,Gentry,Clergy, and Yeomanry" of England will ►ubmit to the pa. ramouot influence of a commercial aristocracy, which bas sprung up like *fungus out of the bot. bed of PITT'S system of monopoly, war, and tax. atlon. On this fruitful subject, our limits con. ( strain us to defer . our further observations. We are sorry to announce the loss of his Ms. jesty's ship, .4gamernnon, of 64 guns, in the river P 145 51 on the '4oth of June last. A LETTER, dated Scilly, S..pt. 4, rigys—g 4 A Portuguese frigate, arrived from Itio.dianeiro in thirty-three days, brings an account of a French frigate having arrivid at that port to stegociato a peace. " A brig frOm llogadore to London was take* this day by a French schooner privateer." Dicpatelies were yesterday receive(' from Lord CIIATII.t M. We do not understand that his Lord. ship is yet arrived. He is said to be in the number of the sick. Ten sail of transports have arrived at Doe from Walcheren, having on board about 500 sick aul. dims, belonging to differvit regiments. Au O. co, on board Imo of the above transports reports, that when he Lit the Scheidt, Hurt were upwards of ten thom4and sick in the differant Waal iq uar possession. The Ittirgais of fluwrt i cv and several other offerers armed re Nero ycstcrday from the Scheldt, and almost the whole of the wintery Sorge embarked b the Expedition (with the es. etipti.or of 15,000 left to garrison Flashing nail the other towns of Waleheren) are now other ea. tensed, or on their way hunse.

We ran say nothings to the truth of this report. A private letter from Cadiz states that seek a mature was in agitation. Of the Leader, Ramovames, who is at the bead of a ,body of Patriots, and who occupies some strong mountainous positions in Navarre, we have heard the follewitsg particulars : —lle was a mariner by profession, and pilot of a merebenttuan at Monte Video, when that fortress was taken. He distinguished himself by his cou rage. and activity in South America, against the English. On his return to Europe, he displayed the same energies against the Ftench, towards whom he bears a deadly hatred. He had a coll• spicuons post during the first defence of Saragossa. , 1 The Marquis ROMARA was originally in the sea I service, and commanded a Spanish frigate. Dr. Scunetina, the leader of the Voralberg peasantry, who had surrendered himself on „a pro- 1 wise of pardon, has been confined in the formats of A sperg. The insurrection in the valley of the Inn had dreadful consequences. Besides Schwartz,_ 17 villages are In rules. From thence as far as Kul. stein and the pus of Strubb, whole rows of dead peasants are seen hanging. The GalliciOus, on the suggestion of Count STANIBLAUS SOLTYE, have opened • subscription for defraying the expellee of raising a monument in honour of BONAPARTE. The sum subscribed amounted in a few days to 100,000 Polish florins. Letters were on Saturday received from Phila. delphia, dated the 29th July. They mention that trade is in a state of stagnation in the United States, on account of the diptumalic impediments to Mr. Eassusx's negociatien. The Executive Council had not met, but was expected soon to be convened. The Secretary of State was on his journey from Boston to Washington, to attend his public duties at the call of the President. There was a report on Saturday of some firing having been beard on the French coast. Our Dover letter, however, is silent. The following is a statement of the loss of four battalions of the King's German Legion, serving in the army under Lieutenant. General Lurd LINOTOM, and sustained is the late battle of Tala vera de la Reyna, in Spain : Killed—l General °Seer. 2 Captain', 5 Lieetenano, 'aerie:us, 203 rank and Ile.

The brig Britannia, hound from Ireland to London, in coming up Channel, was chased by a French privateer, and finding that she could not escape, the Master, before he struck, cut away his foretop-mast, with a view to retard her pas sage to an intemy's port, and thus increase the chance of recapture. This so enraged the Frenchmen, on boarding the brig, that they mar. tiered the Master. The Britannia has been since retaken by the Christian VII. and carried into Portsmouth • but she could not come up with the privateer s and thus the atrocious barbarians have escaped for the present the punishment due to their crime. Though it Is determined to withdraw our troops from Spain, a strung reinforcement is to be sent out to support our army in Portugal, sad that with the utmo‘t speed. At seven o'clock nn Friday night the gates of the barracks at Knights. bridge, in which the 3d regiment of Guards are stationed, were locked, and double mean& placed on them. The regiment was then mustered, and about 600 of the ablest men were draughted, who were ordered to be in readiness to march this morning. At the barrack in Portman -street, another draught was made at the same time, and both detachments marched ou Saturday morning. Another draught has been made from the Id regt. meet, quartered in Westminster; the brigade of Guards, on their return from Flushing, sad several other corps, hire the same destination. The Vorarlians had formed, in conjunction with the Austrians, previous to the armistice, an eft. tensile plan of military operations, the principal feature of which was, to intercept the eommunica. lion of the G rand Army on the Danube with France, by the advance of an Austrian corps to Nurem. berg, while their own communication with Austria was by the Tyrol, Stiria, and Carinthia, where Count GIULAY conk, co-operate with them. It was in realisation of this plan that a body of Vo. rarlians advanced within a few miles of Stutgardt but the subsequent disasters of the Austrians com. gelled the relinquishimmt of their design.
