Tlie Extracts 'below include .thou principal content. These Papers continue to mimeo et the successes of the Spanish arms against the treacherous invader, as rapidly progressive. Letters from Spain represent the issue of the Expedition against Ma laga es peculiarly disastrous. It was received by 4000 French troops, and completely routed. One circurnstance, however, may, if properly attend. ed to, teach us a lea 1104 that may coutottn•balanee th e disaster," The greater part of the foreigners who lately passed from the enemy's army, and cu. listed under the Spanish and English colours, de. serted during the action :" What else is to be ex.

But (UM, with 800 horse, had Joined him. His advanced posts were within sight of Cises, parr°, five leagoes distant Emus Seville." Last night were received French ?aspen to the pth instant, from which we have given some ex tracts. In The Muniteur, appears a Letter, pur. porting to be fruu► 'f An Officer of the Mediterra. neen Squadron." In this, the account which Cap. tain litamtwooo had given to our Government, of an *fair which 3 English ships had with the French is flatly contradicted, This anonymous officer says, that only the Ajax (French ship of the line) and the Amelia frigite were able to get within gun shot of the 3 English vessels ; that the English were to windward, end had it in their power to begin the attack, but so far were they from hear. jug down oil the Amelia and Ajax, that they matte nil sail. This statement is followed up by a suitable tplautity and degree of gasconade. To say nothing of this Wiser w►iting without a name (if the arti. etc was not manufactured in the office of the Muni. eur, or one tif the Pori:ion Public offic,s), will any part of the world believe one word of this state. silent The Monfteor is mit aware of the fact, the .kondiirskte fact, teat our Nara! Officers are as mo— dest in thestatement of their conduct in faceof thecae. my's squadron., es that conduct is blare and glorious. With captain Lit f aca wool), we are perfectly en. icquainted hut we are tnorally certain, that this' Ofeavr related in his dispatches what dill pau, anti that the anonymous Mediterranean Oficer (or the Parisian Swims wan) has lailricatod a knot of absurdities. The Moniteur frequently comments A • with severity on the English papers,. and some. limes with truth as well as bitterness. The • Mottileur cannot help inserting official dispatches, either from the French Navy, or Armies, and , is scarcely answerable fur any of 4.ir mis. representations or boastings. Byt TA. Moni.. seur need not volunteer disgrace, by inserting anp. ' 'vinous letters, impeaching the veracity of our Naval Officers, and utterly baking their charac. ter j Or, if that Journal is compelled to do so—u , if it is the mere tool of the rencb Government, es well as its organ, why then fel TA. 30nifeur cease to pride it,elf upon its character ! ; Such as. ticles as this of the 'tameless Officer, in any case, witll tie The aloniteor nothing but dishonour in all men*s eyes, The Moitireur contains another article of a Very daferent nature (tens that of irhich we have been welting, t is; dispatsh from M.

The Mein? , squadron sailed inte: , She port under English co. fours ; and so Aseeleemsuspected, that an English privateer entered the port in company with the squadron.

The result of this expedition Is stated in the dispateh to be, 81 vessels burnt, 43-of which were laden ;10 privateers captured, with 100 pieces of cannon, and a large quantity of arms, of every kind; TO vessels, belonging to subjects of the kingdom of Italy, and 14 Illyrian and Neapulitee vessels, and 126 prisoners recaptured,- 4e Ancona.' The English squadron is *led to havee been out of: sight. It is said to cot dot of three frigates, one corvette, and two brigs. We refrain, at rele s ltt, from comment on this extraordinary event. Go. vernment may, perhaps, : !give us their aeittiliel of the matter ; for surely this cannot be. entirely is I I fabrication _. . 4 _- It is steed, by a Gentleman who read/804mM/ from Cadiz, that the epidemic disease mp roe' yet ceased. On the 25th forty.five persona .100trietg and the average death's were from sixteen hi twenty. per day. It is hoped, , however, that the approach of winter will lessen or pot an endt to its ravages, The oommunication bettieers Cadiz and the Isla was prevented, as a necessary precaution ender these circumstance. In the same letter it is added, that the Dabs of .1111.4NTA.DO was canvassing for the Regency. ............- • Letters were received yesterday from Dunkirk ts•the 13th, and front Ostend to the 12th instant, with some French Papers, containing little news of interest. BONAIPARTE was expected to arrive at Duukirk on the 6th; but the object of his journey lis not alluded to in the letters. The exportation of corn had been prohibited throughout France. A Decree s dated Fontainhlcan, the Ist instant, ctempts from Custom-House duties all Colonial produce from the Isle of France, Batavia, and the other French and Dutch Colonies in the East and West lndies, when imported direct in French or Dutch vessels. NavotdtoN's system is commenced in the King. dom of Bavaria. At Ratisbon, on the night of the Vith ult. all the warehouses and shops, dealing in Colonial produce s were occupied by soldiers, and shot op ! ! Dispatches from Lord W:ELLIIIGTOW, dated the 3d instant, were received yesterday. They refer to dispatches of the Ist, which have not yet arrived. No general action had taken pi -es. A. strong de. tachtnent of cavalry, under General Corms, had penetrated into the enemy's rear, and acting with the garrison of Peniche, is harassing MASSENA'S right right wing. Another detachment of horse, under Gen. FAnz, had crossed the Tagus, to prevent the enemy from foraging in the country south of that OW. NIASSENA made movements, as if he would uffer bat tle, on the Ist and 2tl iost., but afterwards declined it, on each day. A private letter from an Officer, states, that he had that morning come from Sobral, and announced, in the most positive terms, that the ninth corps of the French army, whichis un derstood to be that commanded by DROUET, con. 'listing of 16,000, had arrived and joined MAS UNA. We do net know, how far this is ac .eurate; but there can be no question that every l'effect to reinforce MASSENA will be made. At Cadiz it was supposed SOULT , and VICTOR would raise the siege of Cadiz, in order, if possible, to succour the army of MASIVIA. In short, if the French follow their usual policy, which has render. ed them so formidable, they will push every man they can into Portugal. To them Portugal, and* defeat of the English, Is a most important ob. ject, although to England Portugal is not worth she eximaco of merely garrisoning it. letter from tlaben of the 3d, gives the 1.11. w. ing as the bead-granters of the •respective Oaken having principal eotnnsands :--Ilead-quarters (Lord WPAtribroa's) at Pero-negro ; Marsh!

We him tecelted the following f4ettere by post : 4 6 FALMOUTH, Nov. If, 46 Arrived (in the middle of hilt night) the Mdb sitgbaas packet, Captain r•OBERTS, Hit h Maiih itc. (rota Lisbon. Soiled from thence on the 4th instant; at which time nothing new bad arrived Irons the Army ; both parties retained their posl., lions. The rainy season had commenced with great *verity. It appears to be the opinion amongst the military, that 11AntmA and his Army are in a most perilous situation. Several attempts had been made by the enemy to pass a force over to the South side of the Tagus, but they had invariably been frustrated by oar gnu-boats, &c. The posi, tioas uccuphui by fold Walf•LINIZTOIII Army are Cdilsl l lo94 ellirregnable • ~ _ • torte. Our troops were plentifully supplied with every necessary, whilst the resources of the enemy axe daily decreasing. The Walsinghant left the Marlborough Packet in the Tagus. Accounts by the Walsinesiin packet Positively state, that every article that could be useful to the enemy at Fi. gueira and Thomar were brought away or destroyed previous to our troops evacuating those places.. The day before the packet left Lisboa a large body of cavalry entered that city, and were Immediately transporNtd to the South side of the Tagus, to co., operate in cutting off the retceat of the enemy into Spain by that route. At Lisboa dm greatest surpriza is expressed, how MASSLNA had been able to procure provisions fur his Army in a couitter so ratterly destitute of resources, as that whicivis eN 'copied by his' troops. ALUMNA is supposed :te have acted from very bad information, mid to htZile completaly.get hid Army into a trap."

The tide partly leaving her, one of the crew swam on shore with a line, by which as hawser was got on shore and fastened to the rocks, and by that means the master and crow, consisting of 20 persons, together with 4 passen ger*, being all on board, were saved, except the second mate, who was drowned in as attempt to get on shore in the boat. As the tide flawed, the sea made a complete breich over her ; and about four o'clock she went entirely to pieces, and the cargo' floated in various directions ; but a very small part has since washed on shore, consisting of bale goods, which will bo saved. This ship is said to have been of 400 tons burthen, and tier cargo valued at nearly £lOO,OOO, which was nearly all lost." The King of SWEDIR left Yarmouth in the after. noun of Wednesday, accompanied by Captain MAINWARINGs of the Tartarus, and seemed highly gratified with his reception. The Castilian, reported to have been lust off the coast of France, it, safe at Deal. Yesterday • Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain W. BAY NEs WAS sworn into the command of .the Marchioness of Exeter, consigned to St. Helena and Bengal. Yesterday the Dukc of NORFOLK gave a grand dinner to a large party of Noblemen and Gentle. men, at his !muse in St. James's-square. Yesterday Lord and Lady HOLLAND entertained the Earl and Countess of JESSE'S', and a large party, with a grand dinner at Holland House. Viscount Mecuouftwe entertained a select party at dinner yesterday, at his apartments in Whitehall. Earl Cowen:, Lord KINSIAIRA, and several other persons of distinction, were present. Tice same day, Mr. PONSONRY entertained a large party of the Opposition Members with a grand din ner, at Ma house in Arlington-street. A Gretifinknan has arrived who left Havre de Grace on Friday last. Ile says, that no news had reached that port of the least importance from Paris, and nothing whatever regarding Spain and Portugal. He farther informs us, that public orders had been given at the Custom-house of the harbour, to admit all American ships with their cargoes, coming di rect from the Republic, and that a ll such ships bringing goods frpm the French colonies, are to be admitted to land such merehandize at one quarter part of the duty required by the lute regulations. Boaara art's' legal Assassinations had hitherto been confided to the conscious shades of night ; but he is either growing bolder from the habit of des. potism, and the experience of servility, or he deems it necessary now and then to impress afresh his volatile aubjecas with that sentiment of terror by which his power is suppported. Three women, wears, assured, were lately shot at noun day, in the Plaine de Grenelk, as spies from England. They were tried, or rather condemned, by a mi. litaty commission! With their names, rank, and quality, we are unacquainted ; but we have the fact from two eyewitnesses to the execution. The Agent, Inspector, and all the establishment at ralnioiailt, with the Innesstion of the Principal Clerk., (who remains to forward the Mails to the new station) arrived at Plymouth en Wedueeday, and have established the Packet-Office at Plymouth- Dock. • The Irish Agricultural Societies are astonished to find Mr. CHARLES COLLINS got 1000 guineas—for a buff !
