Tut French official accounts, of the batiks of Ocana, and Alba del Torino, we are under the necessity of defkrring, in consequence of the g i reat length, of the interesting doeismdats from of which, we have given the whole, of what i. supposed to have reached this country. We lament to say, that in perusing this impor tant correspondence, we can discover no appear. auce of that mutual disposition to conciliatory measures, which must obviously precede, a sincere negociation. In the present agitated state of Eu. rope, cordiality between Great . Britain wad Anse. rica, is so obviously a reciprocal interest, that the continuance of the misunderstanding, wgch now assumes a very serious aspect, cannot but elcite, general astonishment. There is, however, much roans, as we think, for hope. T 0 MS ) it 4P,61016 : -o.racticable, to carry into effect, the CPll4lOllk . •••torn of commercial exclusion, if the veisek . I.aerica, have frieadly4eess, to the ports de the CJltinent ; for, British goods, would ion,ilß: 14 find their way through the medium of Atm* can buttoins. To suppose that America will pre 7 fer alliance, otft•nsive an:l defensive, with France, to Peace with Great Britain, appears wholly im. probable. War with Great Britain, would pro. elude Aaterica from all European intercourse the numerous cruizers of the British Navy, would - effectually interrupt her commerce, and thus re duce America W a mere predatory State. But if America, must, in making PeaCe with either of 1 1 the Belligerents, choose, between war with France, or %silk England, there cannot, we appre hend, be much doubt on the question. The rage . of France against America, could only operate, by the exclusion of her commerce—fur, against the towns and harbours on her extensive coasts, the efforts of France would be absolutely irn . po tent. Even the wanton insult, and incomprclion. sible absurdity of our Ministers, in their copduct towards America, cannot, we think, force her into war With Great Britain. The interests of the two fOuntries, are so in dissolubly linked together, that we conceive Arne- Tin, will, either resume the " accustomed relu. tint" of Peace with t ngland, or, wisely recur, to the rigorous enforcement of the principle of Illoss.latercauras—satil the ru-cstablishment of Peace la Europa. _ We know of no production necessary to human existence, and even comfort, which the various soil of America cannot produce.—The only plants conducive to luxury which havc, tiot yet been cultivated in North America us , the Vine, the Mulberry tree, and the Sugar-him. That the climate of some parts of that vast Colik: nent,lwill produce Vines, is no L t doubted—and the project in the reign of JAMES I. fur supplying Fug.' Lind, end eventually Europe, with Silk from Geer. gia,is well known. The climate,which prodncesCut. ton, is well adapted to the growth of the Meiber.: ry ; and, although the prOject was abandoned, the povet of produciag silk iu Georgia, has I THEE never been questioned. Twenty years ago, cot ton was unknown, as an article of export in Ame rica—yet, within the last 14 years, England has .beon supplied wits► a •majority of the immense qilantity of cotton wool consumed in her manu factories, from Georgia alone—which produces, is well the must infe►:iur, as the most excellent quali ties of that valuable subject of human industry, and ingenuity. The tardy growth of the mulborry-tree l is to be sure, nut exactly in unison with the impatient ex pectations of a New Settler ; but the production of Silk, will certainly, at no remote period, be ' come an object of attention with the Planter in America. 'The proximity of the iVest India Islands is such, that there has hitherto been no inducement to attempt the cultivation of the sugar.cane ; but that is not among the privations, that could long be inflicted on America. . Had hut America the wisdom, tho courage, and the virtue, to rely upon the inexhaustible resources of her own fertile soil, she might at once, by retir• in within herself, show her contempt of the Bel. ligerentsof Europe, who at this moment disturb the repose of the world. - " 4 4 1100. TUE situation of Win). unquestionably alarm ing—every vessel for India will be crowded with troops—the number of which, destined for that quarter of the globe, in the first instance, is re ported to be 5000. It is, however, by rumour only that we learn this eireunistance...but it may be pretty safely inferred, that what it permitted to be so generally rumoured in the metropolis, without contradiction, is not very far from the truth. With this report is conneetal, that of the appointment of Lord 'NVELLINGTON to the su preme command in India, with powers as plenary and extensive as those of the late estimable Mar quis CORN WA LLIS. _ _ The recal of Sir Gamma 13*nr.ow from Ma dras, and Sir priVNATtliAll Duncan from Bombay, is confidently enisounced. That the existence of the distinct military este. blishtnont of the Company's troops will not be much longer deemed compatible, and that au im portant change must shortly take place in the principles of our Government in India, wc have not the slightest doubt. 1m the battle of Ocana, the Duke of num() (Monier) asserts, that " 55,000 men, composed of the best troops which the Insurrectional Go. " vcrnment of. Seville could bring together, and 80 " 6 pieces of cavinuu, could not resist 21,000 so,- " Biers of his Majesty the EMPEltOlt."—That Battle appears, however, to have been much more obstinately contested, than the subsequent action at Albi del Tormes, where the Spanish cavalry, at the very first charge of the French, arc as serted by General KELIARMA N to have " fled 46 without exchanging a stroke of a sabre." The French accounts of these sanguinary Battles Are given in a style more highly.coloured than !au& ; but we feel it impossible to doubt, that , 'ate results have been most fatal to the Spaniards. i It is impossible longer to cherish a hope even that there is in Spain the power to bring forward another army . 6f 55,000 regular troops. All that is now in the power of the Spaniards, even were the people unanimous and active, is to harass their invaders by incessant attack and retreat. The subjugation of the Peninsula is, we conceive, iuevitable ; but it may be rendered a dear.bought kingdom, requiring a constant supply of troops to keep the country in subjection. A DECREE has been recently published in Den mark, for vigorously enforcing the law against the introduction of British goods. In Holland,, the people arc waiting in momen. tary and painful expectation of the arrival of the French army and the Douaniers. It is not a little extraordinary, that, at the date of the last Wen t nothing attain %cal rt - ir3titi on the subject of the Incorporation with France. THE efforts efforts that have been made to destroy the character of COlußei WARDLE have produced, as we indeed anticipated, an effect diametrically opposite. In many of the most considerable towns in the kingdom Mcetings'have been held and subscrip. tions opened, and these examples, we are happy to learn, are about to be emulated by many places of less importance. This is as it should be, and we trust that the spirit which has already produced these Meetings will eventually pervade even the remotest corners of the United Empire, in which there is not an individual, who is not deeply in. terosted, in offering a tribute of gratitude to Cul. ' WARDLE for what let has already effected. The Subscriptivn is obviousli not meant a! a mcfe remuneration toCol.W atauLE l for the losses antliexpences sustained by him, in - of ail manly persever --it is designed Eugland,and a his unparalleled their interests. T' istaineil by him, in consequence of !verance in the cause of the Polak 1 as a complinext by the . ire of evincing theirsen' se of griTtude, for perseverance In aft))romot4On of ['here thorefote, obviously ; no a~i 7 ;f • - r • ' • . 'AT ES MAN. .__.., .~..-r mit, no point, at witch the Subscription can be Supposed to be no longer necessary—for it will continue to be so, until every individual, who 'be lieves Col. WARDLS to have rendered a national service, shall have had an opportunity of ofering the tribute of his gratitude. Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office. There were present the Loan CHANCELLOR, Marquis WaLLESLIWY, the Earls of CAMDEN, Ltvenroot, and Batutrare, Lord MGLISRAVE, the CHANCELLOR of the ERCIRE. •Mr. Secretary RYDER, and Mr. R. S, MEDAL The Right Hon. Lady SHErVIELD has resigned the situation of Lady of the Bedchamber to the Princess of WALL', and the Lady CHARLOTTE CAMPBELL, sister to the Duke of ARGYLE, IS ap. pointed in her place. Yesterday Sir DAVID Donn A.S held a public day, at his Office in the• Horse Guards, and gave aadi ence to several Military Officers. His MAJESTY has been pleased to appoint Lieu. tenant-Colonel GEORGE VIGOREUX, of the 2d Royal Veteran Battalion, to be Lieutenant-Go vernor of the Scilly Islands, vice Major-General llEwertct, deceased. The report in the French Papers of the death of Mr. BATHURST, Envoy Extraordinary from Great. Britain to the Court of Austria, is believed I to be unfounded. His friends have received ac counts, by which it appears that he was in perfect health and understanding on the 13th of Novum cer. They are, therefore, not alarmed at the Un pleasant paragraph, dated the 10th of November, from Berlin, and inserted in the Paris Papers that were received on Sunday. Sir THOMAS JONES, Baronet, one of the Re. presentati4s of Shrewsbury, has presented that , Corporation with two whole-length portraits of their MAJESTIES, to ornament the Town-hall. Mr. C. R. VAUGHAN set off yesterday, to em bark for Spain, being appointed Secretary to the Hum IL WELLESLEY. Mr. V. means, if possible, to visit the brave, but unfortunate town of Sara gossa, of which he speaks in his narrative. Colonel Ay, who commanded the rear-guard of the army in the island of Walcheren, with his Aid-dc-Camp, Capt. lIAy, and Capt. MITCHEL, of the Quarter-Master General's Department, landed from the Ulysses frigate on Monday at the NOM. Lord CARLISLE, it is.said, has another play, of a serious cast, upon the stocks. Of ,course it is not, as with some—upoe the laughingstocks. The Frencli,Papers speak openly of the great change about,to take place in the Government of Holland. It has had the effect, they confess, of increasing considerably the price of Colonial pro. duce, particularly of sugar. Dispatches from Lisbon were received on Mon day last at the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S Office. Their contents relate chiefly to the defeat of the Duke DEL PARQUEN army at Alba de 'Formes. It is imagined that on the meeting of Parliament, the Opposition to the present Ministry will he at strong, and as formidable, both -in the House and out of it, as ever was known. Great men seldom excel in trifles. TURENME, after having gained several battles, •learned with difficulty the. manner of saluting, with ease, at the • hea4 of his regiment of infantry. The Gentlemen of Doctors' Commons are anx ious to know what BONAPARTE means, by saying, that his repudiated wife has adorned his person for 15 years. In this country the word is equivocal. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR has appoint. ed Tuesday next for a Common Hall, to receive the Report of the Sheriffs, in relation to the Ad dress agreed to on the 7th of Deceniber last. Paris Papers inform us, that part of the Impe rial Guard have set off fur Italy. In one of the Paris Journals we find it sinned, that the Toulon fleet, of 11 sail 'of the line, had passed the Straits of Gibraltar. This assertion is, we have every reason tobelieve, unfounded. The sth Regiment, which coiuposed the rear. guard of Walchercn, is reduced from 1100 to 234 ; but many, sent home sick, have recovered, and are equally anxious, with their brave comrades, to meet another campaign. After the 50th Regiment had embarked at Flushing, the sth went through the ceremony of Witting the gates and delivering over the keys, ite. to the Mayor, after which the regiment embarked. NORTU AKERlCA.—Notwithstantling the vigi lance of the American GovernMent, four vessels are actually arrived at Liverpool, that rallying point of speculation, from the United States, within the last fortnight. _ _ Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India Hostas, green -Gr. Hugs Inius, Bart. 1 was unanimously appointed a Member of the Secret Committee of three, duritig the present direction, in the room of Sir WK. HENSLEY, Bart. deceased. The under-mentioned times were fixed for the .i ships David Scott and Cirencester. The former consigned to Madras and China; the latter to St. Helens, Prince of Walees Island, and China : viz. To sail to Gravesend, 14th instant; stay there 20 days; and be in t►e Downs, 13th February. The ships Bombay and Royal George, for China direct, were ordered to be afloat 40th - WWI; vain to T3raveseed 3d February; stay there 3J days; and be in as Downs, 14th March. A gentleman in the county of Tipperary has, as so object of curiosity as well as pleasure, un. dertaken to establish in his park, a colLtny of beavers. He has planted plenty of birch, aspen, ash, willow, sallow, osier, alder, &c. round the ponds, and is about to procure several pair of beavers to turn In. On Saturday-morning, as the Gardener belong ing to gerkelepsquare, was clearing the carth of the trees, he perceived some earth which appear cd to be fresh dug up, and on examining into it he found a deal box, and en opening it, it 114. found to contain the body of a male in.. fent, laid in sawdust ; the infant appeared' to be between two and three months old.

Fox Chaco Milli the Duke of G n.terJrt 's hounds, on Thursday las t , Dec. '2B, 1809 :—. 7 " MCc at Poke()ham-hall, drew the Fen, found at the outward edgi of it towards the track up to the Wood, where the fox jerapeg up among the hounds, and in full view of a nume rous field, ho ran up to Pakenharn I% ood, anil through it, in its narrowest part, fur Thurston. Plain, towards Barton, leaving the Shrub on the right and Itougham un the left, fiver Blowthorp Heath to Eldo Stubbs, Hushbrooke, and the Link ; on the right of which he passed to Brad_ field, leaving Free weed and Monk's Park on the left ; from thence to Cockfield and Lavenhani, leaving the Springs on the left ; than 00 to the Waldingfields, Newton, and the Curnards, leav ing Sudbury about two miles on the right, through. Assington nicks to Butes ; and from thence on for Nayland, in which parish the fox was course(' and killed by a cur dog, at the end of a Chaco of five hours, without going into any cover, except the small one of Eldu Stubbs and A ssington Thilks. The fat was viewed several times by the horsemen in the last four or 4re miles, but iu go.. neral, latterly, the hounds teat the horsemen long way, and were going in a good body to the last. The distance from Pakenham Fen, where the foe was found, to the spot where the hounds were foiled, by his being coursed, and where the chece ended, is upwards of 24 miles, as the crew flies. The hounds get back as far as Sudbury that night, and reached their own kennel, at Euston t about three o'clock the following afternoun."- Couissirto.—At the last Newmarket Meeting upwards of eighty brace of greyhound* appeared there from the different counties. In one day twenty-four courses were run. Lord limas, with his Wiltshire dogs, was the chief winner ef matches; but, the best greyhound there, w. 4.

It is the more valuable, as it can be kept without the expence of a large garrison, or an expansive civil.establishment. The English Merchants there, and their connections, are erecting q large anti commodious tavern and assembly-rpotn, by 41A T scription shares, the woutt work of which is im ported from Gottenburgh. IRELAND.—At the late Linen-market in Dub. lin, fine linens met an extremely dull sale. Coarse goods, particularly half-bleach - ed yard.wides, and 7-Bths widths, in general afforded good profits.— Many of the coarse linens sold were for Spain, and some for the West Indies. Since the market, coarse linens have risen greatly. The Duchess vt DORSET has ordered the beauti T ful monument, which she erected in the Church of Withyhain, in Sussex, to the memory of the late Dhke, to undergo a complete repair. It is ' by NoLuxens, and entirely of white marble. Troubles have broliten out inDalinatia, which the French Governor General has declared in a State of siege. A Proclamation h;s been published tq the people, threatening them with the eererest punishment if they du nut return to obedience and ' tranquillity. Hitherto these threats have hut • little effect—the people, detest the French. The fire, on Monday oight..,at Mr. Amisfire't tlniber:sthairf, near Blackfriars, contained nearly thirty thousand pounds worth of timber, Seven thousand pounds of which had only been landed a few days ago, and was not insured. Of eighteest horses .in his and Mr. Pocock's stables ' only 11011111# were saved, including one that had its miff burnt off. BALTIC.—The merchants assert, that there never was so great a trade carried on with so little loss u that to the Baltic has becti during the past year. The number of vessels that have passed through the Belt, under the protection of Ad. miral Dixores squadron alone, between the 26tit of June and the Bth of November, amounts to 2210, not one of which has been captured by the enemy.
