GREXADA, SEPT. 2. By the accounts we have received, we learn, that our army of Mancha consisted, on the 99th August, of 24,670 infantry, 3,600 cavalry, and 32 pieces of artillery. BONAPARTE. It was formerly the custom to amuse the public, at least four times a year, with an account of the death or revere indisposition of Bonaparte. For some reason or other this practice was laid aside, and he was allowed to enjoy uninterrupted good health, and to'have become fist and sleek. The Tripoli** Gentlemen, who had so often dispatched him in '(AC Timm and other assassins, loyalists and Vemleans, had also laid aside their poisoned howls, their ilaggtrei, and thole infernal machines, and he was soffered to travel where, and as he liked, in safety.. In the course of last week, however, for the first time after this cessation, a report prevailed in the city, that he WAS dangerously ill. Whether such be the fart or no is not now material, as, by the same report, he is dto be now perfectly recovered. The fallowing iieeount of the business is extracted from is paper of yesterday : " A gentleman, who left Paris so short a time ago as Saturday, the 30th ult. lies brought some important communications. Ile confirms the rumours which have readied us from various quarters, of the indisposition of Bonaparte. His malady was a violent fever, accompanied with delirium, brought ri I,y an imprudent exposure of his person to the air, while in a strong perspiration. It occurred towards the latter end of August. He had bees.trecupied during the whole of the fore noon of a very hot day in reviewing a corps of the army, and directing some manoeuvres, and had just returned to.Schoenhrtum, when au atultassa dpr extraordinary, with a letter from the Emperor of Russia, arrived. Without resting himself, or seeking corporeal refreshment from a change of ' clothes, he desired the AinbaFtador to he intro duced, and having read the letter, he withdrew witb him into the garden M . the palace, where he remained for more than two hours iii conversation, the whole of which time, according to the report* at Paris, his head was uncovered. lu the course of the night he felt himself indisposed, and, before the dose ofthe following evening, he was considered, by the physicians in attendance, to be in so dan gerous a state, that expresses were sent off to Paris, for further medical assistance. The strength of his constitution, however, triumphed over the disease, and before the end of the month he was declared conrilescent. The at my, for obvious reasons, out 'kept ignorant of his indisposition. The hasty de li:lnure of the medical men first excited any suspi , don on that head at Paris, where, we understand, so far iss an opinion could he formed From words end s chews of grief.' the people in general were much afflicted by the iiitelligence9' Whether this was the prevailing sentiment iu other pia' of France, our informant had not an ropporternity of judging."

Three Gottenburgh Mails have arrived, with let ters and papers from that city to the 27th last. A Stockholm Gazette, of the 26th, has been also re ceived, from winch the following an extract : I;STOCKNOLM, SEPT. s6.—Hr. Royal MAJESTY has received intelligence, by a Courier, arrived from Frederiekshain, that, on the 17th instant, a Treaty of Peace between Sweden and Russia was signed by Baron STEDINCE and Colonel SKOI ()BRAND, on the part' of Sweden, and Count ROISANZOFF and Baron A LOPEUS, on the part of Russim."—(Stoek halal Gazette./ It was also reported at Gottenburgh, that the ports of Sweden would be shut against Englund, on the lath of November. A great variety of foreign intelligence has poured it, upon tis. Besides the three Gotteithough Nlsils and the Portuguese Papers,-we have received, via Gerinau Papers to the 16th, and also Humburgh Papers to the i3d last, containing intelligence from Vienna to the 10th. It appears, that, about the beginning of the mouth, the hypes of peace begun in decline ; but the difficulty, of the particular nature of which we have no intelligence, must have been surmounted, as subsequentnecounts inform us that the negociatiois was continued with activity. The armistice was prolonged until the ioth, the reason assigned for which extension wiss,the distance of Rust a, and the necessity of giving that Power an oppe. tunity to participate in a proceed ing materially istlretiog her interests. The general complexion, however, of the German Papers is warlike. They abound with accounts of military reviews and movements of troops. Never did any event give more general satisfac tion than the breaking up of the Portland Admi nistration. The scene of petty intrigue, of under mining artifice and duplicity, which has been die eloeed, is viewed with universal contempt and in dignation. All rational and disinterested men agree, that Lord CASTLEREAGH and Mr. CANNING have utterly disqualified thetwelves for ever sitting in a Cabinet; but, justly unpopular as his Lord ship is, be appears iii a less odious light than his adversary. Mr. CANNING. petulance, evinced iu his general manner, but particularly in his perso mil attacks upon Mr. Ponsoene and Lord Fot.e rrons, upon 'the ground of descent and family, himself a mere upstart, gave all good and honoura ble minds offence. But what we principally con demn in his conduct, is his habit of disavowing all the unpopular acts of his colleagues, and throwing the whole odinni upon them, while he slaved with them in the fruits of their actions. Thus. upon the Catholic Question, he disclaimed the cry of •4 No Popery," but he had no objection to be ele vated to office by it, with the assistance of Mr. PRIMEVAL ; and we now find, by his own conies sMn, sod the confession of his friends, that, at the very time he was aepporting Lard CASTLEREAGH in the House of Commons, he was Ishutning to un dermine nini in the Cabinet, and root him out of office.--Lord CASTERIE•GH is, perhaps, the worst Minister that this or any other country ever saw; but his conduct appears manly when compared with the spirit of duplicity which characterizes Mr. CANNING♦ ai.d which has defeated the grand object of his saltation. by placing his rival, Mr. Nock:- vat., in the place of the Premier ; thus illustrat ing, by his example, the truth of the precept— . . Nec lexjuatior ulla " Clam necks artifices ante perire sai." • With respect to the superior pretensions of these two several candidates, or their relative ability to fill the office to which both aspired, we shall be si lent. No man will, however, pretend, that, in conse queuee of the removal, or resignation, of the two Secretaries of Slate, and the concentration of the Treasury end the Exchequer, in Mr. any strength, or intellect, or accession of talent, is gained to the Administration. lf, previous to the present rupture, their measures were ill-digested, injudicious. and uuiformly unfortunate or uosuc cessful. in Spain. In Italy, end in Holland—what are we to expect in future ? Whatever parliament , cry, or continental, or general ability, existed among the Members of the Cabinet, was Letween the two Secretaries for the War and the Foreign Department. To have expected energy or to have looked for any extrication, under our em barrassments, from the Duke of l'tiatessin, or Lord CAMDEIf. or Lord WESTMORLAND, would excite dension. LS it, then, to Mr. DIJNDAI SAVS DIARS, and to Lord flanitowav, that, we will not say, the nation, but the Minister,. really direc t their eyes, for the display of such talent, as, even in ordinary periods, it is thought indispensable, that men, invested with such offices, should possess? Of the former, unless it is sufficient to be the son and representative of Lord MaLvitat, what can we say ? What proola of capacity, information, or of eloeutioia, has lie ever exhibited? Even when he exerted his eloquence in the defence of his fa the►, whatever filial piety he might display, he ■ chewed no other etidderniente. We presume, haw. ever, that hie appointment l• utelely and that Lord Met.vmt.e is to cmi.tiet the War LEN pertinent, behind the curtain. As to Lord iIAII- Rowoy, even if the infirmities of Ins health, and the irritabilities of his tetlaper, %mild allow him to devote his ability to the support of Admiuistration, be is in the wroug place. r Who is to supply the hiatus left in the House of Commons by Lord C TI.LIMAGIIfe and Mr. CAPINING . S resignation? Who is to face the phalanx of Opposition, and. we may say ,the constellation of parliamentary capacity, drawn up against Ministers? Is Mr. Catretm. to extend the same fostering care, and parental aid, to the new Administration, which Mr. Parr affected to do, when he reluctantly devolved his offices on ADDING'ron ? It wilt lie dangerous to rely such an auxiliary, erre I.e Bien competent to it r task. What ere Ministers to do, and how turn them selves, under such eircumstunces ? They buy:- only one resource, and we never hare doubted that they mean to adopt it, if it be practicrible. Of the cep_ tempt, mid, therefore, of the indignation of the country, they well know that they have already in. awed no ample harvest. But, so long as the voice of the nation can be stifled, or suppressed, they may retain their official situations. To proerasti ' nate, therefore, by every expedient, the entivocetion of Parliament, will he their tint endeavemr. lees, justly cdebruted to commemorate the ,feces_ , siou of the best of Kings; but due to his virtues, not to the incapacity of his confidential servants ; will diffuse a momentary gleam of festivity over the capital. They will try, under the popularity of the Sovereign. to conceal, or to shelter, their own want of every requisite for eiuploi meat. A lapse of three or four mouths, they flatter themselves, will obliterate their nets of incapacity, their Expe ditions, their Peerages, their selections of General 4, their profusion, their defeats, and their disgrim,... 'l'alavera, and Ischia, and Antwerp, they hope, may be forgotten, or extinguished, io new events ; per haps, by new disio ere. In all cases, they will draw on time, retain their places, and look to the chapter of accidents for future support or extrication.
