We have also re ceived lagers and papers to the 16th from Gijon, by the Pcnevian. It appears that the French, having collected their forces at Burgos, to the amount of thirty thousand men, made an irrup ,ajrin into Anegon, with a view to attack Saragossa, and this movement induced the army of Arra .gon, Which had gone in pursuit of the enemy to Tudela, to fall hack to Borja, on the south side of the Ibro. The French proceeded along that river by Logrono, on the contine3 of Navarre, and had advanced within 7 leagues of Saragossa, when in their turn they were induced to retreat. Accord. ing to the latest accounts, their Head-quarters were on the Ebro, in Navarre. king JUIEPH was with them. The gallant Pstsrox would soon begin to ad vance a.,,mia from Borja, as the Spanish forces were pouring in in that direction, from the south, east, and west of Spain. The city of Gerona, in the north of Catalonia, after a blockade of 20 days by the Fiend', has been abandoned by them. The enemy broke up, and notre:ied in two divisions, one for Figueira, and the ether for Barcelona. Generals CUEsTA sad CAsTANo3 have resigned their military cotntnands, being elsoscn Members of the Central Junta. The latter is sueceetled by the Martt:s of CASTELAN. The Russiaa Ambassador, at Madrid, Count STauuoNarr, has left that city, for Liston. We are sorry to announce the death of the Capt. Ht;nas•ar, and Mr. Catan, the snit of the army agent. They were drowned in the harbour of Gijon. by Qta upsetting of a heat. The French u-e said to he flying from Naples, the whole o. that kingdom beitei in a state of isr surrection. Josern nos/PARTE, the sni-disant King of Si•atw, it thus appears is still in that country, and Naeot.tois will keep him there while he can. As long as JOSEPR remains on the south of the Py:oriccs, no matter bow near to them, long will NA rot.

Tht. French are now driiirn eomiAetely across the Ebro, and zely little fieJti.ig t!iat ti.ty pos. sesris on the north side of tint river, in Navarre :laid its vicinity.' That province,. as giving as title to the Crown of Frasice, as 1V ales, upon a larger scale, does to Eogland, Bos Armen will lie pecu liarly anxious to retain ; but if lie should succeed so far as to keep a footing north of the Ebro, his defeat and disgrace, aid the failure of his attempi to impose a Sovereigu upon Spain. arc not, to the enlightened eye, less manifest and positive. To t h e eye of the Statesman they are even greater, than if his armies in their retreat had crossed the Pyrcnecs. The Pyrenees offer a natural boundary more mark ed aud decisive than almost any other bordering na tions can boast. For ages they have been regarded as such by Franse and Spain; and in any treaty of peace, negociutest in the spirit of peace, and having permanent peace in view, France, if desirous to pre vent any interruption ()fit would prefer the heights of the Pyrenees to the Banks of the Ebro, as the natu ral boundary between France and Spain. A footing in Navarre may esuilileNaaoLtais to.bonst among the hoodwinked and cajoled nations of the Con tinent, that he commands the Spanish Pe.aiin the; but it will be in fact an idle boast, even though he should actually be able to maintain himself ou the North of the Ebro. Frost the French Journals, the substance of which we gave yesterday, it appears that the Usur per still remeitsed, on the 13th of this month, at Kris, div.iling his uttentiou between the Pag:v4G-• tries of Cuu rt Ceremonial, and the more Sea - Inas riccupAinii of calling out the new conscripts, whom his utroc:ous litteta;w on Spaiu has rendered feet*. sary, for ;he i,.r.ervation of internal obedience,-:- in the reception of the Duke uf MONTELICuNS, the new Ambassador from the aiew King of NAPLES, His Imperial aid Royal MAJESTY ostentatiously displayed all the pomp and splendour of his ri;V:i lutionary greatness. Every farm of State which Louis the FOURTELAirII could have invented or esri, was adopted by this Corsican soldier of for tune, iu receiving the representative of anothrr sol dier, born a peasant of the province of Querey, but whose indite y services have been rewarded by his brother-iislaw, scarcely eight weeks ago, with 'he tl.mation of the kitii?lorn of Nudes. Tne un fortunate Ministers of Russia, Denmark, Atistria, and Prussia, were afterwards, w we see, made to titbit it the submission of their respective Sove reigns, at the foot of the Corsican's Throne, by presenting to him various individuals. While, how ever, NAPOLEOK fulfils these functions of his Im perial character, he is not negligent of more es seated matters. We see, by the Report of the War Maiiist•ir, of the 4th September, that immense and immediate sacrifices of men must yet be made by France, in order to place dolmen 130MApARTR on the Throne of Spain.. The French certi.ialy cannot accuse their Ruler of using any disguise or circumlocution, in aintounpipg this fact to the na tion. Never did any tyrant (peak to his slaves iu leas equivocal langua,e, or `talitSe his expectations ' in more despotic terms.—" I ail detet mined," says he, in his recent Message to the Senate, to carry on the war with Spain with the utmost ac tivity, and destroy the armies which England has disembarked in that country." But as, after the Capitulation of DUrONT, anti the defeats before Saragossa and Valenti*, followed by others in Ca talonia and in Navarre, it can no longer be pre tended that JOSEPH is to lie seated at Madrid with the same ease that Louts is sent to reign at the Hague, or JLROME stationed at Cassel, the War Minister kindly explains to the victims about to be selected, whatever may have been ambiguous in Lis Master's discourse. Your MAJESTI,' says he, has notified the resolution you have taken, of assembliug more than two hundred thousand men beyond the Pyrenees ; without, how ever, weakening either the armies in Germany, or that of ILlemitia. For the attaintnent of this end, a levy of lia,noo wipears to be indispensable. Your MAJESTY eatl only take these NO,OOO from the four classes of the Conscription of the years Mk, 1107, ISM and Hwy." By the subsequent proceedings in the Senate, we find that this venerable body of men, impressed with the wise, benevolent, tuba magnanimous Mum tion of their master, which could only have in view the felicity of the Primal people, had approved the project without any alteration. On the loth of this month they affixed to it their sanction ; in other aunts, they passed seutence of seizure, or, in revolutionary language. of conscription, on eighty thousand of their fellow-subjects, who are to be called out iii Joseru's cause. It is true, that in order to etivt..r the fatal ambush which lie spreads. another aceomplice, detonated with the, title of " Prince Arch-Chancellor," tells the Semite, that "tire att,ooo conscripts me mt:ely to he employed in the deft nee of the coast ;" though lie most be well aware, that their destioation and place of ser vice will depend wore on PALAEOX, 011 POLT,ON. A reprieve, ton, is grunted to t h tsc con demned victims ; btu it is rather it short one, us they are not yet seized and bound. "They are not to. he cube ] out before January, 1809 :" that is, iii a little more than three mouths, and at the most inclemeut bewon of the year. These are the boasted blessings of the reign of the first of the Corsican Dynasty ; and it is fur this, that Louts .the XVlth was imprisoned awl mur dered, while the French paoplit, with red bonnets and pikes, ic.i.ktd Libeity tc tiled her infhwiti over France.
