A Malta and Lisboa Mail arrived thit morning ; by the former we are concerned that our fears were but 'too well founded as to the nature of the disorder which so alarmingly broke out on that Island : the mortality of it, however, as will be seen by the par• titulars of its effects, has not beenso. great as might have attended the usual ravages of a more pestilen tial disorder. ' The Lisbon intelligence, concerning the movement of the pain army, mentions Lord WE/4,INOTON as harlot' his bead-quarters et Gayeuta on the 11th in stant, and on the 12th advancing to Hunane, on sehleh day the first parallel was opened before St. Sebastian. r. The Gioinale de Malta, of the nu Jude, con tains the following account of the progress of the pegtilentiel disorder prevailing there during the you'le of the preceding week : " On the 9th June, died of the plague 24 persons, and 2 i were taken ill, with suspicious symptoms. 6 On the 10th, 32 persons died, and 23 were taken ill. " On the 11th, 27 died, and 40 were taken " On the 13th, the ttuqiber of those who' died see the same, but fortunately only 14 were taken ill. 46 On the 1 Ith, 36 died, and 17 were taken ill. 46 Yesterday, the 15th, 19 died, and 15 were taken ill. _ 4 6 On the 19th of June, a Journal Extraordinary was published, containing an account of the progress of the disorder, from the 16th April, when it first made its appearance, up to that time, and of the measures and regulations adopted by the Magistrates and Committee of Health, to prevent, as much as possible, its spreading. " It concludes as follows We may be permit ted; however, to make this short observation;— con•idering that we inhabit a city of no great extent, but overcharged with an immense population—con sidering also the extensive commerce there carried on, the narrowness of some of the streets, and the close ness of the houses, in which the inhabitants are, as it were, heaped one upon the other, it might well have been expected that the plague would have caused a much greater devastation on this island ; but, notwithstanding its propagation is favoured by so many circumstances, it appears that its progress has been, in reality, blow and of little consequence.— Since the 18th of April to the present day, we reckon only 518 to have died of the plague ; a mor tality which, when compared with the vast popula tion of the place, cannot be considered as prodigi ous. The indefatigable cares of the Government and the Committees of the Island have prevented it from being greater." enemy, having_the pleasure of seeing In its streets G enera l Villacaropa, and the troops under his com - , mend, who entered at six in' the morning.

General Castanos has arrived at Hernandi ; it is said he will direct the siege of San Sebastian, against which the fire has already opened. SONA, JULY I.—The enemy's division, which has so often left Lograna and returned there, has, at last, set out not again to return; seeing it was abso. lately impossible to proceed to Navarre, it delibe rated upon descending by Tudela into Arragon, which it put in practice on the 27th of Jene. It met wkh Spanish troops, and was compelled to precipitately retire from Calahona and Aldeaneuva to Tad**, where it encamped on the 28th, at three P. M.; after having set fire to the forts there, it marched with that garrison in the direction of Saragossa, amounting in all to about 10,000 infantry and 150 horse. • We have expressed our belief throughout, that the Armistice would be renewed. By our latest private advices from the seat of negotiation, we have no doubt but that it is prolonged for twenty days, dur ing which interval there is almost equal reason to be- Here that the ground-work of a Congress will be laid. Ministers, from their earlier and better in formation than our own, are, no doubt, in posses sion of this fact; but as it is in a great degree morti fying to their high spirit, and wounding to the lofty tone they gave to the Speech of the REGENT, they wish to conceal their humiliation. The vote of the five millions of money by the Parliament, so freely and unconditionally, has not produced the effect at Vienna which it might be supposed capable of, at Ber lin) Petersburgh, and Stralsund. But the Ministers are disposed to be silent upon this adverse event; yet their devotees, knowing the secret must come out, are deprecating the conduct of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. They can speak of that Sovereign's measures in the very language suitable to describe those of their worthy patrons—they complain that LISBON, JULY 20.—0 n the 11th, head:quarters he is " too much influenced by that narrow policy, were at Gayeuta ; on the 12th, they advanced to which prefers personal and selfish considerations to Jimmie, on which (lay the first parallel was opened an enlarged and comprehensive policy," &c.

We will put the case eind quesderi of the invasion of France .en the following plain ground; and which cannot fail bat, silence those noisy, mad-brained orators, who rave as in a kind Of military mania:—lf the French were to admit Lord Wr.i.Lrivolow, with every disposable soldier Englend could send him, to march uninterrept. edly without the diminution of a snan in a regiinent s t• Orleans, Soinons, or even to Paris, would that je. dicions and reflecting General accept the offer? Let us, thenhear no more of that species of Quixotism—much less of setting up again the interest and the standard of the Bounuoss. - Thus, from the unexampled and almost inconceivable influence of theLondea Journale ' we' allude to, it is, that the cradulods public, are tortured with the labours of a TISIPOUh2 and teized with the disappointment of . a Tax- TALUS.

Our prudence and moderation in that way (if unattended to by their Chief) would shake the attachment of the French to his military and ambitious views, much more than conk) be done by an inroad of the most intrepid of our armies . . 'Letters have been received through the War Office, of a later date by three days than the last dispatches from Lord WILLINGTON. They only state that his Lordship having left a sufficient force for the siege of St. Sebastian, was advancing towards France by Fonterabia. An Officer, in a private letter writes, 1 that he was actually commencing his march for ' I France. 'ENOS. NilbyL Ts . " rig% n all as per last, w i th the oitivirti-band detained by contrary winds.

The circumstance to which we alluded in our ' Paper of yesterday, respecting the disunion in the sentiments of our men in power, upon the propriety or expediency of invading Fiance, may likely lead to some changes in the Administration. Such are actually talked of with an air of confidence. The difference, however, may not he carried to the extreme, so welt depicted by GAT in his Beggar': Opera, where the parties proceed to great personal abuse, though, from a love of piece and profit, they shake hands again, and the greatest man of the two soothing the other with the bland expression—" Brother, brother, we are both in the wrong."

A peep woman at Ratendale, a few days ago, had 1 / her hand and arm so dreadfully crushed by a thrash ing machine, that Immediate amputation became ne cessary. A large family of children are by this acci. dent (among too many of a similar nature occasioned by these dangerous machines) deprived of maternal support. How immediately of late, has suicide .followed murder !
