MADRID G4ZE,I7ES. iIVTAITION's Of TON ALLIED ARMIN' IN TUE NOR rit OF 'Wit YENINSUIA. ON e&r. sa. MADRID, OICT. s7.—The (earth Spanish Army °e clipsed the left • the E n glish army, by the side of run, assitilisintel itself in the positions which the enemy occupied previously to the action of the 7 th, and extends its advanced posts to the country bousea of Ornate. The English divisions, which attacked by Vera, form the centre, and likewise occupy the positions from which they dislodged the enemy, extending themselves into France, and joining the left. The Andalusian army of reserve is situated in Pena de Larutn, and in some of the tents in which the French were, on the other side of the Pyrenees, from the front of Echaler to the tows of Sara, in which there is a great part of the right at the English army, which has become that of all the troops, and ewers the avenue from Roncesvalles. • The enemy is in front of the said places, with his centre between 6. Juan de Pie and S. J ust) d e L ee . The French Geneal Paris arrived a few days ago in front of Ronceswalles, with a division of 4000 seep, and some national guards. Notwithstanding our army at present suffers some privatiosss in parti cular articles, an extraordinary enthusiasm and the greatest confidence in Lord Wellington is observed. They' svelte from the line, that We town is far. advanced, and that it rains copiously. The most beautiful description is given of the English and Portagaese tents, the troops of which nations what I moth*. It appears that both have magazines for a year. This foresight ought to serve as au examplei to induce us to promptly and generously assist the intentions of Government, who, without our aid, ! cannot repair the immense losses which the different national armies hare suffered in the late months, nor ameliorate their fate, so worthy of our regard. Vice, Oc-r. 12.—They write from Pnicerda, that the enemy is fortifying the line on the frontier. In this principality he has constructed a battery in St.! Alone, which is the Hu* of communication from' trance to Barcelona. Orrosca 15.—0 n the 13th, at night, arrived in this city General Capons, accompanied by General Baron de Eroles, preceded by the battalion of the guard which had the preceding day left this place for Nlatireza, where his Excellency was. This and the seeing suddenly covered the approaches of this city by the troops of the first army, has given rise to various conjectures. .'4erse time ago the enemy reported in slot end Barcelona, that he would in vade us; but perhaps he will not escape unpunished. 4re• Nail. 0 0 • 640eabetzb 4 1 .I • • 11obes iltalrad 0 L 4 0 • Solis • 0 - • Halifax 0 .. &nuns . fti ioji ,1 smeics To i a #AI 'AI ' iiirs triaLOCK.

The Gazettg of Saturday night contains matter sufficient to give exquisite pain to every human heart. We allude to the intelligence communicated through the Colerill Department of the Government, as re ! . ceived from America, in Sir G. fearesz's Dis patches, We have eren from the first menace of an American war deprecated it, and obtested Ministers to avoid It. We also dreaded the consequence of Adopting those cruel instruments, the savages, for carrying it on, as well as shocking in its nature ) tinder the more modern and civilised warfare ; we deemed it impolitic, not doubting that the sad sys tem would, hi the long run, be retorted on ps.— Alas !

They should have atistaitied from a war they were unable toprpsecute by the usual weapoes. It is but a (qv da)s ago that from refection, joined to actual information, we anticipated such Gazette intelligence.

To say ail we could on this subject, so frnitftil of ill to our endan gered and unhappy country, would- be to Wear now suspicions, perhaps, censures.

Six months - ago to have thought Nara , what is now to be attempted would hake been deduced chimerical. Another Expedition . to Holland _is in . considerable forwardness, the success of whickie anticipated very sanguinely; as well from the Ofcs.- cers (Sir J.

In observing VITUS' (who really reminds us o f I the Maria *molar at the Loan MAYOR'S show) again take up the pen mode.* to advise Ate Cabiaet of Great Britain what it should do, gradual per gradutra, on the subject of Peace; we intended to comment, at large, upon his extraordinary compo sition and strain of reasoning: but, as in pursuing his vast strides of argument, it might to some of our Readers appear, that we were pleading for better terms tbau our humbled (very humble indeed, ac. cording to this politician) foe deserves, we declint i the task. We arts however, surprised that a per. son living to years of ciscretion, should compare, i much less assimilate, the wars Greet Britain has moist tained, or may maintain, iu Europe, to the wars of .. • . • , India !

I But while this sagacious logician is offering his proud ' terms, his flattering project, which is to bind down the adversary, so as that he may never, nay, again be guilty of .an aggression, be very unadvisedly furnishes France with the strongest justification, for all those aggressions which have now drawn down his vengeful 1 retaliation. He does indeed observe, that to embark in war for the sake of aggrandisement is a separate -question from that which he is discussing : so it is. Ile then adds, that "a people who have originally no thought of encroaching on their neighbours, may still be provoked and compelled, by unjust aggres- sion, to undertake a series of foreign conquests, for the mere protection of their own Empire—and to adopt a resolute system of aggrandizement, as the surest and safest instrument of defence."
