FROM TUE SPARIISII PAPERS. CORUNNA, MT. 16. Tea o'clock, Courier has arrived tins evening from the Supreme Junta, at Tramllo, in Estremnadurn, and we are confidently assured, that the substance of the dispatches brought by the Courier is, that, after repeated attacks, from the to the 71ii inst. the French were completely overpowered by the inhabitants of Madrid, assisted by the regular troops there. Their loss is computed at 18,000, in killed nnil witninhal ; the remainder of their army, comm,isiing of 11,000 men, was sur rounded, and u eapituktina was negotiating :it the thew the Courier left Nltdrid. lie Imrou ; ht orders for the armies of the Marquis lie la ltomaaa awl General 'Moore to advance s ith .ill possahle < l ke& otiou.

Nothing certain was known at head-quarters, rela tive to the situation of Madrid, but it was generally supposed that the Fren c h had obtained possession of it after sinatiiiiing considerable loss.

An American vessel, which latch• sailed from this country for Amsterdam, has returned, having been refused permission to land.—So great is the severity with which the Dutch decrees against com merce are eaforceil, that not the slightest comma nicati was allowed between her and the shore.— She has, of course, brought an news. The frost having set in, she was obliged to cut the ice, and warp out of Amsterdam harbour. liir Mwartor'sship Mews arrived in Yarmouth 'oads, on Sunday lust, from Gottenburgh, which !dace slie left nu the 19th tilt.

Eighteen others of the fleet were iii charge of the Sakette, Magnet, moil Fame. and eleven or twelve others were with the liatruest. Captain Luaus, of the Marx, suptioses that the first division, under con voy of the A/age: and resttrims, mug lie oil the coast. The Jtrailland, Rom 40( NE, arrived at Falmouth on Saturday last, hailed front Rio Janeiro 011 tlw ; 13th of October, in cowpony with the 11/e/eille end Jason, for I,lnotloii. The pii,let sailed three days befure. The Ana. MoaaAa, for London, was to soil on the 14th of October. We this day rt smite our extracts from the Co mma papers to the -2.7 th last. There are various and undefined rumours of the French having. been driven out of Madrid, after a series of severe tightnig, in which they sustainer) considerable loss. %Ye fear that there is no more foundation for these rumours, than for those concurrent reports which assert, that op to the tralt the French had not en tered that city. The latest accounts f the Su preme Junta left them at Truxillo, iu Estremadura. When we reflect on the composition and con tents of the three last French Bulletins, winch have reached us, it is itnpossible not to perceive that they are fabricated with skill, mill calculated lac dispersion and fOr deception. The manner iii which, when seta to Paris, they were conveyed across the Channel to this country, leaves no roo m to doubt the intention of the fabricator, er the theatre on which they were mesat to produce their greatest edict. But, more than all ! the silent e which has followed this gratuitous disclosure on the part of NAPUI.I:O,4, is pregnant with natter of %involution, and authorises illUlly conjectures. Why shied.' the Corsican Emperor, who has evinced so obliging a disposition to itifut in its of his' entry into :I.latiiiil, so long sego as the .sth, 7th, slid Foil of December, now withhold from us the de. tail of thuw resents, still - more interesting both . to Into and to us, which followed that event ? 'I be question almost answers itself, and leaves little 1 heictation i:. concluding, that' he hoped to derive the greatest advantages from the communication to us of his having received the sitlenissiou of the inhalatatits of the metropolis. Let us, however, examine even the *count which he himself pub lishes of this submission. It will afford ample subject of consolation, of astonishment, and. wo had almost said. of exultation. Sure we are, that it bears no analogy to true events that took place in the Austria's or Prussian ca pitals, to which we naturally compare it. It may even excite some surprise, that Box iPARIE should choose to divulge certain particulars, us they indicate a national character of the most decided and iuflexible description. If ever any people ma nifested, its the most perilous situation, not merely loyalty, courage, and conattincy, but en witi-rcoo. botiomery nature and disposition, it is invontertitsly the inhabitants of Madrid. Those of London, snider similar circumstances, might, and we trust they would emulate the Spaiiisrds; but they could not easily surpass the Castilian character. We most nut forget that it is NAPOLLON him self who speaks. .. They had intersected the streets, erected parapets ou the houses, barri- Moles of bales. of wool, and lif cotton, had beau formed, the windows had been stopped with mattresses." If these are not indications of deeps+ , rate resistance, we are at a loss to know what can be so demo ttt i t tatted. Bat, a feature most remark able, and which merits Iles:Wier attention, as well as admiration, is, that, unlike the sillier nations of Europe, where the middle orders, and the indivi duals possessed of property, have tistially adhered, from obvious motives, to the established order of events ; while the lower classes, whose tudigence rendered them indifferent to, or desirous of, any change of Government, have joined the invader, or aides) the revolution ; here the case was reversed: si The people of property," says BORAPARIT, ~ ileinatided that the inhalitaists should not ea pose themselves to an assault. Those who were strangers to the towu, or who had 'whin Soles., were for a defence to the last extremity, accused the troops of the line of treason, and obliged theta to continue their tire." It is difficult fur language to convey a higher cm any people, thin is included in these words; those who have nothiag to lose" by con quest and revolution, kart every thin; lu gain; mid if we may credit the testimony of the invader I self, the Spanish people must be invincible. But, let us ask ourselves, what motives, or what . impulsions, can actuate the human mind, under poverty and all its accompanying train of privations, to oppose a. cunning and a crafty Conqueror, who has already over-run Europe, who is sustain e d by . . immense anuses, and who holds out to them a golden age under the new order of events, when JOSEPH ie once seated on the throne of FERDI. N•ND What Cal sustain man ilk such circum stances, except principles of religious belief, of at taelittient to their kings, of love to their native soil, of affection to their priests and 1:: their altars : sup ported by steady force of charaezer, and prim:tive • simplicity of manners The people of Aladrici form a eontrast to the corrapt, find dissolute, and depraved population of Paris, where incredulity, and false philosophy, and universal relaxation of morals, had opened the good-gates to revolution, plunder, and massacre. Such as we &writ's., we are persuaded, their Corsican enemy will find the Casti lians. Such the Romans found their Cantabrian and Celtiberian ancestors, w lio resist ed fur ages those con querors of the earth ! Happily, the present race of Spaniards do not wind allies, And those allies seem to be at length advasteaus towards Madrid. If ever the fortune of NAPOLEON I:411 he arrested ; if ever it has seemed to approach a crisis, it is now. In the midst of winter, in the centre of Spain, sur rounded by a nation in arms, opposed to un army of En4lists, and finable to retreat, as he did when repulsed before. Acre, he statists at bay. If Austria and Turkeyeould ever make an effort to save them selves, and to rescue the Continent, this is the moment. But we must not look for help to Vienna nor to Constantinople.—Non tali arsiihn, ace dc• fessuribus istis! It is exilusively to the Spaniards and to ourselves that we must confine our expec tations of extriea•ion. The moment is most aw ful. We wish neither to disguise it from ourselves, nor from our countrymen ; it is nevertheless illu minated by hope, and strengthened by the very declarations of the enemy himself. The year IbUti may, hoot improbably, present the Corsican de. strayer, under other situations, and in very different p os iti ons , i ron , th ose in which we have been emus tinned to contemplate him, since he seizes on the supreme authority in France. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which was the first general meeting of Ministers that has taken place since Thursday se'nnight. The public lominicss that has occurred since, necessary to he laid before ilia 'MAJESTY in OSUMI!, to he holden this day at the wr,EN's Palace, waa arranged. Yesterday, the Duke of YORK held a 'midi(' day, at hi, Office, in the Dm-se Oirtrd,, and gave audience to a number of Military Officers of die- tosavtiou. Lunt CASILEEII.IOII had au audience. of His [lops! highness, after the Cabinet Council, broke up. Captain Goons LL, High Admiral of His Impe rial Black Majesty of Hayti, CIIRISTOPHE the Firat, is arrived in town. The gallant Admiral and His Sable Majesty are snid to be grtatiy enraged at the eoutliiet of the itritoth vessel *Lich !eel violent hands upon Admiral GOODALL. ?slr. P. his Sable Illajesty's Alinister at our Coact, is preparing a se tnonstrauce against this insult to the Ilayttan flag. The Clorintle, Captain liatnus, now at Spit head, is appointed eoavoy for the Cape of Good Dope and Niacin's. Our letters from Deal and Dover make no far ther meution of the report of yesterday, respecting. the Flushing squadron having put to sea. A private letter from Stockholm states, that au ':nice h,,d helm conelinled between Sweden and Dc:uuurk, which, it was stipulated, should not be broken by either party, without giving fourteen days previous notice. Letters from Lisbon to the 19th, state. that the whole of the British troops at that city had march ed for Spain. This recount is satisfactory, as it affords sin argument in favour of the state of the public: mind in that capital. It would be melan choly indeed, the presence rife British forc.! were necessary its that city, to preserve the inhabitants against themselves, instead of being employed ugaitot their enemies: As' 'par feeling, we ma. derstasid, prevailed at Oporto, f which a combined British and Portnguese force is said to have, min-died on the 14th fur Spniit.— Letters front the latter city mention that several persons of the first respectability had been arrested that morning, sin suspicion of being parttime' of the French. They also state that the effects of the ettergy latterly displayed by the IP'ortiquese Government, began to be felt all over the king dom. The disaffected and suspected a ere every where taken into custody.
