MULGRAVE. ‘V hen our readers shall have perused these offi cial letters, they will not be surprised at the deli cacy of the Lout Msvoa, and bahkwardness of Ilioistera to expedite the circulation of the aura from Liza Taws. The French troops are to evaccate 'Portugal, and not as pn sown of war ; that is, they are to carry off ail the precious property of the Portuguese, of which they have made plunder; they are to be safely conveyed, we understand, in British ships, and as soon as they set foot on French ground, we know they are to be seat to the Rhine, to serve ap.ast Austria, or to swell the ranks of the Army of England, destined to renew the threat of the invasion of this country. In the simplicity of our hearts, and the weakness of our fears, we tad been ruminating upon the retreat of the 10,000 Greeks, under Xtriontoit, from Asia ; and bad anticipated the retreat of JCNOT through Spain, to the Pyrenees, as a masterpiece of generaknip, rivalling that of Illoatoc. But Joao/ . has dope much better. A march through Spain, thon,;h croismid with brilliant success, must have cost him 04IC half of his forces. By the present Convention the whole may be landed safe is France, to aid in any attempt which NAPO limn may command aptiust Euglaud or her Allies.—A. to 1 1 / 4 e Basilan Bert, it appears that tLe ()nicer& awl men arc to be sent immedi ately hone without conditions ; and although we do not vouch the assertion, we believe that it is ati puleted to restore the Russian Beet in com plete that is, in a better state than we now Clod it. Aar lite boosted ►esults of the glo 'ion+ victory of N'einieca, and the sanguine hopes held oat lay :tl.a;aters, it is imoossib'.e for the tcsnper to read this account with pa tieace. It was accordin;ly stated, last night, in trio Miaisterial circles. that a fast-sailing ves s,•l vets to be iinta-.4.ately dispatched, with ordrn t prevent the exciiiitiou of this Conven tioil ; but we sio not twl:eve they will interrupt it. progieis.

Asnow A s.t ieawna, it charges the fate F; l •ani-h Goverumelt Vi Ls! an inclination to joia nith England is a lifin coalition against the peace of the Continent. It' also litilteb, that it is the policy of France to hereon 1 that throne a friendly power ; hecituse, as Stain can be the most effectual friend, it also can be 6. the most decided enemy. It refers to the muter ti ~, between Spain and France before the cow ineneement of the e restiat century, awl argues, that whilst a foreign family sat upon the Spauish throne, the two empires were at war for three hun dred years ; yet the moment the relationship be tween these empires was cemented by the finally compact, a century of sincere and efficient friend ship was the consequence. There is considerable stress laid upon the influence of England in the Spanish coualiels ; and the late Government is charged with having encouraged the introduction of English agents in that peninsula. This docu ment is signed by CHAMPAtiNr, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The second document is dated the Ist Sep tember, and is signed by Clarke, Minister War. It positively asserts the necessity of subjugating - Spain. and of a military•foree of 200,000 MOO for that purpose. It n torn mends t hut the Conscription of 1810 should be called out; and that to fill up pre sent vacancies, 84.000 men he immediately added • to the armies. It renews the menace of invasion against England, and that OW million of Nuip should be immediately in erne for the consummation of that object. There is also an allusion to the Ame. rican Embargo, a measure made necessary, as it asserts, by the oppressive commercial tyranny. of this country. In pressing its recommendation for increasing the military establishment of France, it particularly comments upon the elevated situa tion that empire has to hold in Europil; and, though placing the most unsluttod confidence in the friendly 9onasels of the Russian Csettrt, and in the evident policy Of Austria, it still urges the ne cessity of military preparations, and the finale , tion of fresh levies and conscriptions. This is the substance of the Paris news. The pressure of other matter obliges us to defer the ar ticles at length until to-morrow. The Hope. American schooner, is arrited at Cowes, in the lsie of Wight, from Havre, with dispatches fur the American Minister. She iies broutht also Mr. ['ALLY, who was charged with dispatches for Gen. AILMSTSONII, the Anwricon Mi nister at Paris, and will return direct t' America with him and Mr. ATWAYTI4. • The New York lettere and papers brought by the Mail, the arrival of which we anisounced yester day, were delivered in the - morning. They are to the 7th last, at which.date the Embargo was rigidly en forced. So late as the c:.cf, it will be seen in oar extracts, that an crier was issued in that spirit. The soccessful progress of the resistance to Bossesitv in Spain was, however, known in America and the Wed Indies, and had already disposed than more rani u rahly towards England. The A mericau writcrs complain loudly that the ports of Spain and her eednnies will now he thrown open exclusively to the English, while the disputes with this country will keep them abut against American commerce. The summer has been uncommonly hot in America. The 'heat has been succeeded by heavy rains, and some apprehensions are in consequence entertained of a visit irons the yellow fever. We hive received Ilambergh Papers frees the loth to the :3 hit last, from which we hare made some extracts. They abound with aceounts of the movements of troops on the Ithitie.— The French army assembling on that river, be tween Stra3burgh and Wesel, is to be called " the Army of Beane of the Rhine." We have given in our preceding. columns the Manifesto of the Supreme Junta of Seville to the Inferior Juntas, inviting them to meat and form a new Government. It proposes that Deputies shall be chosen by the respective Provincial Juntas, and shall assemble as speedily as possible, in some secure and centrical place. To attempt to examine the Paper, denominated a Au official account of the late events in Spain," and published by Boa APARTI4 upon any of the pnncipli-v that are supposes' to regulate the State Papers of other Nlooarcirs or Governments, would be loss of time. The French Tyrant, though writh ing under a sense of accumulated disgraces, and tholigh compelled by the universal notoriety of his defeats to reuder some account of the trans actions on the Guadalquirir, oa the Guaiialaviar, and ou the Ebro, which have covered his late vic torious arms with so much di►honour, yet neither respects truth, order of time, nor intelligibility, in his narration. We are coliveyed from Aodujar to Saragossa, or back to del Rio Secen, or forward to Valentia, or to Burgos, Bilbao, Madrid, and Barcelona, just as the necemity of supporting the illusion dictates to the composer of this fable. But, to Lisbon, or to Cadiz, to JUNOT, or to Ro rattY, our attention-is never directed. All men tion of them is carefully avoided. The classic allu sion to the fate of SAISINUS Trruitti:s, one of CESAR'S Li. utenalit 4, who was defeated and killed by Ails:oats, King of the Eburone., a story drawn frain the fifth honk of CissAa's Commentaries, and which is applied to the conduct, as well as to the fate of DueoN T, may be very amusing, but is by un mean: s.milar or apiirop fate. DLPONT may, tewetet, anticipatetis Iltoter's sehtenee, efter this indication ; ;and if he revisit Frianei, int niuy v felt' rely on the some teheption which l'itt.&iittivE re- emved at Itenr.cs, after his di.feat iii 3'nifalgur; or as _Biters hits recently experienced on his return, Stnikiiiol. He inky perfittly understand the most <Amcor. INI4AItZtS of Nleuuttitt'A official account ; and we should suppose that he would prefer the captivity of Grenada, or of Cadiz, to the air of Itoclifort, or of Puns. Notwith'standing, however, the perpetual effort to coweeal, suppress, or mutilate the facts uarrateil, enough is iris- closed and admitted, to sati•fc the itio:t sceptical politician, relative to the atliii;•• is Spaiii. It is al- lowtoi that Saragossa and VA+.ltntia ha►e reitulsrd his troops ; that in every province his own au4 his brother's Government is spurned with abhorrence ; that neither Joverm's "majestic attitudes:" nor his " virtues," . have had power to overcome the re bellious prisieiple of loyalty awl adherence to the Sovereign whom he holds in prison ; lastly, that " almost all the Spanish troops in Gallicia and An dalusia had taken part with the insurgents, while the troops of the line at Madrid, St. Sebes/tiro. Bar celona. &c. left those places to join them." Is it pomade more niqiressively to prove, that Spain is universally hostile to this ferocious tyrant, and to his brother ? We may rather -congratulate, then lament, that such a paper. and such% confession, hare been extorted from the Far xca Memos, by his reverses beyond the Pyrenees. It will pro duce an adequate impression throughout Europe. Even iu Delimit*, and in Muscovy, annotators will be found to elucidate and ei.plain enc . !mysterious I passages. The ernes or PA LA.F . pi, of CAsTA N Oa, Ind of so many other Spanish llemes. will supply :01 the ambiguitivs. we may safely learn to the / decision of mankind, whether NAPoLcort and Jo sum have or have not effected the reduction even /of any one province of Spain. After the Mord teurs of ISOU and 1807, it mint he owned that I t he humiliation of being compelled to publish such in exposition as the pnicid, moat severe on the _ . Corsican Emperor. With what different' sensations do we turn, ifter perusing it, to the " Manifesto, or Addreis 'lsithe Spanish Nation," issued by the Junta of Irvine es the 3d of August which we publish thisday. What a contrast does it cresent to the seances, sophistries, and ►iolatiorrs of fart, ease toned in BONAPARTE'S oanstive !

Dow obviously is the selection of Ciudad Real, or of Alusegro, in La Mancha, as the _portion of Spain, from its position the melt inaccessible to the of France, dictated by wisdom ! What temper, what coolnem, and what firmness are titillated, while a for. ign Usurper threPteos to reduce them to his opprobrious yoke ! It sipsreserved for the Spanish people to exhibit this ausimatiog spectacle -to Europe, after the hoc rots of a French Revolutiso; followed tr: the still mote destructive ettemOieutfis,Corsican Dynasty. It were far better to perisla with the former, than to survive es the conscriptsand the slaves of a mi litary despot, intoxicated with victories, savage in his anger, lawless in his power, regardless of Treaties, and a stranger to all the sympathies of our Com mon mature. Such is, indeed, the only alterna tive apparently left us.

A paptr of yesterday announced that the" expedition had r tustily sailed ; but this statement was probably premature. On the 16th ult. the Coderriere frigate, Captain Srt Exit, captured, on the Jamaica station, a French privateer cutter. Dispatches were received at the Admiralty yes terday, from Sir J. B.
