We, this morning, received from oar Correspond. ent at Falmouth, the following important Letter, by which it will be found that our affairs in Spain assume a very serious aspect, and we may JlOOll ex pect to hear of a general engagement between our army and the French, near Madrid. With all the respect which we entertain for the military talents of Lord Wraa.txctom, and the brave English army under his command, we cannot contemplate the result of the approaching conflict without the most anxious emo tens for their safety. If the result depended upon the bravery of our troops and the skill of our Com sunder, we should entertain no , fear for the conse quences ; but if SuvLr and Sucurr have collected 80,000 men, we fear that Lord IVELL/Nwreie w ill not be able to raise a force sufficient to oppose them ; and the event of one day might not only de . vide the fate of Spain and Portugal, but produce the Ong grievous calamity to this country.

Government this morning received some further dispatches from Sr 'alas SAUKAUX, of two days later date than what appeared in last night's Ga zette; bat they do not contain any news of a fa: ramble description.

We are led to hope that the distressing account of the less of the Orocernbo cartel from America, with 195 out of 200 possengen, on the coast of Ireland, is incorrect. A Gentleman who left Liverpool one day later than the date of the letter alleging the loss states the circumstance as a vague unauthentiaLW report; and according to our New York Paper, of rise 29th September, the Oreaembo was advertised for passengers from the Chesapeake— It is not likely, therefore, that she would sail befBre a fortnight or three weeks after this advertisement, and she could not easily have arrived in thi *Galion assigned for her loss, at the time meetbsei J.

On the larboard side about thirty shot had taken effect, about five sheets of cop. per down, and the mizen-mast had knocked a large hole wider her starboard counter, and she was so completely shattered, that the enemy found it was I impossible to refit her sufficiently to attempt carrying her into pie, and they set lire to her as soon as they had got the wounded out. What considerably weakened my quarters, was permitting the Americans belonging to the shiptoquit their q u art er s o n th e ene , my hoisting the colours of that nation, Witkit;tbough `it deprived me of the men, I thought it Ins my duty.
