LONDON. w'gDNESDAY. JAirraar 17. Two Gotteoborgh Moils arrived lout rooming, from which we have made some extracts, bet they are not important. We have received Patio Papers to the 10th inst., and some more Duteb Papers of the same date, but their coutrob are not of any importance. The French Got:eminent appears to bare been urging the Sines Cantons to ravel the regiments which they bad formerly fornisbed to Spain, noder a particular Convention. The Canton of I..ucerse tbe only one that has complied; the rest were fur Mir iog the proposition to that Body, a General Obit, with whickthe measure originated. The French armies. as they evacuate the Austrian territories, take up their quarters in the neighbour. is' States. A strong division is to remain perms. iseutlf established at Ulm, ouder the command of Ifershal OtregioT. A fall report of the Berkshi►e kfeetiag, held at Mimeos, so Moo lay. is given io our subsequent columns. The *ease of that county, the'rery seat of royalty. it will be seen in the Address, was strongly expressed against Ministers, and all their weever's. Besides the speakers. the prisripal of whom was Lord Fotaorown. we, observed among the cesspits'.. Sr./QUI TliliotitplosToll, Mr. AT- Kirin WaleßT. the Hon. Ur. Gain', and many ether distinguished perasueges. We 4ive, this day. from Tke Seville Corer's's:a Gin:cite. a Manifesto, published in that city, on the 20th last. which displays an unbroken spirit ender the late defeats, end a determined revistansie to the invader ; and encourages as to cling to list hope, that a better order of things may yet arise. Netwithatlndiag the dark political deed that seems to overshadow the Spanish peninsula at the present moment, yet are we leas than ever inclined to retract and abandon the opinions which we have at different times. sad recently hazarded, redirect ing the final issue of the flagitious attempt to re. dew that country to Boaseaftines obedience, — Nay, we are ilmeet inclined to advance si step fur ther. and to say, that the enterprise, which, is cold, systematic, sanguinary atrocity. stands alone and pre-smierest. even among the crimes of the Italian mike; who greverna France, will eventually revert apes himself with accumulated force. There is something in the character and nature of the Spa nish war, altogether unlike the alters undertaken ▪ Anstrie, Prussia, or Russia. We admit that the disastrous results of the two battles of Oansa. sod of Alba de Tonnes, followed by the surrender of Gerona. are not calculated to inspire confidence, either is Spanish valour or tactics. We see the defects, the interested intrigues, the inca pacity, and total waist of all vigour, energy. or pouiptitecie, in the conduct of the Supreme dente. es strongly and as clearly as the Marquis de la Ron t e A can dePretute it. W it ll that high-minded, irteerrept, and patriotic Nobleman, we agree, that a Regent would he preferable to the present Govern ment. Even in the convocation of the Caries, we behold truly a very doubtful remedy fur throe evils ; aer do we expect that a Regency. .whether vested in one iadividual, or in a Council. will ori4inate in any thing except' the very last necessity. In addi tion to these misfortunes. we cannot be insensible to the temerity of our General, who ruined the British army, by plunging into Castile ; or to the utter incapacity of our IL'ahinet, who knew not to what part of the peninsula the English arms should and ought to have been directed. Lastly. we know, by rape- lake, the decision, talents, resunrces, and earthen, of the invader, who, having dismembered and crushed Austria. may, and certainly wi ll. di rect his whole disposable force against Andalusia. Viewing, nevertheless, these facts in all their magnitude, without any disposition to disguise or to diminish the effect which they art calculated to produce on the mind, we shall state the reasons which induct- es to persist in thinking, that Spain is by no mesas reduced to extremities. Lad we would begia by reinaiVng. that the victory of °cane, however brilliant or decisive it may have been, yet appears to us to bear no resemblance, in its consequences, to the victories of Narni.gutl, at Austerlitz. at Friedland, or at %Vagrant. The first and the last of those engagements, intimidated the Sovereign or the Government of Austria to with a point, as to enable the conqueror to dictate teens of peace. Such was the impression made on A EXAM iota, by the defeat which he sustained vet Friedland, that, iu his terror, he forgot every thing, except his safety. which he purchased by the sacrifice of his ally, his own consiatency,honour. anti indepeudeuce. From the enemy of BOP•P•aTit, he became. in a f ew k ola/a , an d h as sinc e invariably remained, his friend, his tool. and the amid accomiuoilating of his ramie. But have these, or similar results, taken place in Spain ? ~lave the Siii.retne Juota, lute pable as they may be, sent any of their members to Meet NE', or MOIITIER, or VICTOR. in a windmill, or on a raft ? Have the Spaniards testified any readiness, since that unfortunate event, to acknow ledge, and to submit to Joivril Bon A e.titTli ? Nay more, do the French advance, in consequence of their victory ? Or, on the contrary, do they retro grade, instead of pushing forward to Cordova ? By the accounts from Seville and Binlajos, which we gave yesterday, we see the precise positions re spectively occupied by the victors and by the vasquialied. We see then.. to from the total want of provisions, or of subsistence," in the sterile and desolate region of La Mauch', the ahpde of famine, the French were unable to improve their bite advantage. Lven at Nladrilejos, and at Consuegre, in Castile, it was believed to be impossible for them to maintain themselves, on the same act (luta.— Meanwhile the routed army of A IttSiGA was rejoin ing its standards. Above 14,000 infentry,end 5000 cavalry, bad reunited before the Nth of December. No alerts seemed to have been frit at Seville; nor was say disposition manifested to negotiate with the French Generale—As little benefit uppeared to have been derived by KlLLattilan, from the victory obtained over the Duke del PAalltlE, at Alba de Tonnes. Twelve thousand Gallicians had subs*. (licitly joined him, and we do not find the French attempting So occupy Adarp, or to march towards canine*. In other gam ters. they have not as yet displayed more superiority. Those' Lord Wattixorom's army, reduced to half its numliers by airitneni, has abandoned ita posit:oir at Hailajos, avid is now at the city of Coimbra, on the coast of Portugal, yet Moans a hitherto has made no effort to penetrate into Andalusia, by Merida. With equal astonish ment and satisfaction we even find, that the two bridges scrum the togas, at Alumna, and at Arno bispo, by which alone the French can enter Estee madura, were in the bands of the Spaniardi, guard ed by the Duke of A taciat (ague, at tbt heed of a enusiderable force, so lately as the middle of last month. If. after these great landniarkin its look round on Spain. we even where behold abhorrence, resist ance, and opposition, ou the part of the Spaniards. Even the French accounts admit and recognise the fact. If we can credit the intercepted letter, from General TUISSAULT SO LA GAIN'S, dated " Bar gos, 11th December." puirlislied on the 15th, at Seville ; bow desperate • picture of the French affairs does he gist., in Old Castile! In the patri otic donation made by the city of Salamanca to the Doke Du. PASQUA'S army, consisting of 44.000 shirts, 20,000 pair of shoes, and cloaks, we may see the patriotic ardour of the in surgent% and of the people at large. America continues to pour in treasures to the mother coun try. 'Ureic* and Paraguay vie with each other is pecuniary remittances.

In this state of things. we repeat, we cannot yet regard the Spanish Monarchy as lost ; and we even think that infieratfelpoifiou is not to be conside:eal as desperate.
