The goglitla at Malaga excited the people to anarchy, at the same time that they prepared to fly to their ships in ease of danger. •• Oess. Sebustiani had received orders to march spiesit Malaga.

On the sth he set out from Antequera with his VII:4•• guard, easily drove beck the enemy's posts, who defended the narrow passes, although the road was cot in several places, and carved them fighting all the wily to Melsegs, n here they rallied, forming an irregular mass of isisurgcdts, with a numerous ar tillery and a di tecttniest of cavalry.

MINIS OF TEM ILSE, FEM. 23. A division of the French army of Germany is ex pected every moment, to occupy flamburgh and it, dependencies, for the purpose of preventing every possibility of the merchants trading in Eng lish, or perhaps even any other colonial produce.— The title of the French Customs at Hamburgh. Bremen, and Lubeck, is also to be tripled. A French Decree is said to have arrived, or to be on the way, according to which no colonial produce whatever, whether American or English, is to pass the French line of Custom-house Officers at Hainburgh, coming from Alton', or any part of the Danish territory. The shores of the German Ocean are, by some accounts, to be guarded by an array of 6n,ouu Frenchmen, in order to prevent all trade. The Hamburgh merchants, who trade to America, and had consignments made to them, ria Toriningen, and other parts in the Oauish Duchies, are under great apprehensions that the Freud' , should enter Holstein, under some pretence or other, and seize the great quantity of American products now hoarded up there. The Danish forces, a few days ego, began to form a numerous conks of troop*, from the mouth of the River Elbe, as far as Bird, with what design is not known. The rosin...ism along diet cordon have also been put in a respectable state of defence, and supplii.sl with a numerous artillery. Early Will morning, the French Minister at Newburgh nrceived advice from Hanover, that the incorpcsi ration of that Electorate with Westphalia, has been suddenly put off, in consequence of the arrival of couriers from Paris and Cassel. The Deputatiou of the States ordered to Cased to recommend the ceded Electorate to the mercy and favour of its new master, received orders to return to Hanover. It is now said that Bonaparte has sent a letter, in his own hand-writing, by His Marshal of the Palace, Duroc, to His Britannic Majesty, to make some final propwels, before this decisive measure shell be taken, with regard to His Majesty's Ger man dotnioions. The winter has again set in with increased severity, end the Elbe is completely locked by the ice.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, MONDAY. MAncit I. CAPTURE OF MALAGA. We Ivire received a regular 'crier of Cie Moai. tear, and some other Paris Papers, from the 2INI. of February to the 4:11 instant. They emitaiii the official reports of the taking of Seville, tlieivida, 'and The two former ei ents were indked in our paper on Friday last. We give, this day, the official report of the capture of Alalaga. It is en acquisition certainly of great importance, and moat greatly assist the operations of the French in Andalusia. Sonie modifications have lieeu made in the Concordat, and the Emperor of Russia has en tirely new-modelled his Council of State. The official accounts of these subjects are given at length in the ‘Voniieur, along with a copy of the Treaty of peace betw een France and Sweden. The substance of the latter is slimly known. Sweden recover' Pomerania, and agrees to enter completely into the 800 APASTE system. We have received German Papers to the 2lth ult. They contain an account of the measures taken by Boa Parra. in prosecution of his system for the exclusion of British Commerce from ►he Continent. We have received Cadiz Papers to the 24th la.t. —The works fur the defence of that city are carried on with activity, and the citizens display a deter mined spirit of resistance. The French a •nt in another Flag of Truce on the 21dt, but the papers and dispatches brought by it .wera burned by the common banginan. We hare received New-York papers to the 30th of January, containing an account of the proceed ings in Cengrees, up to the 24th inclusive. The Bill for equipping the vessels of war of the United States was passed iu the Senate on the 23d. *ix members only voting in the negative. Mr. M acne's Bill, the principle of which is to substitute Non linportatioo for Nou-lutercoarse, had been the sub ject of ardent and almost uninterrupted debate, up to the 24th, on wh:cla day the sense of the House had not been yet taken upon the main question. Mr. llhomy, it is said, had expressed his appro bation of the measure, and it was the general opi- Mon that it would pass. A letter from ton, dated the 2.5 th, states, that it was ordered to be engrossed on that by a majority of Ayes 72. Noes 65 ; ■nd that it was to he read a third time on the 27th. The writer of the letter also expresses his belief that it will pass the Senate. Mr. MACoa, its a deba'e on the 23d. in the House. of Representatives, upon his Bill, said. that " to go to war now, would be to give Great Britain 100,000,000 of American property, and that it would be unfair to attack Euglaud. when America had just sent hers message of peace, assuring her, that although she had dismissed her Minister for indecorous conduct, she was ready to receive soo ther." Mr. JACKSON, it appears; rerra;ns at New York. On the 45th lie attended the City Assembly-room, accompanied lay Mrs. Jscasos. Dispatches and letters were received on Saturday at the India House, from China, to the sth Oc tober, brought to New York by an American brig, and forwarded to England by the Packet. We are happy to state that the fleet for China had arrived out safe on the 20th of September. It consisted of the following ships, under convoy of the St. Alban's , aen of war, viz. Princess Amelia, Glatton, Albion, Thames, Royal Charlotte, C'outts, and Marquis of Ely, The Nottingham and Per see eeeeee had also arrived at China from Madras. It is also cotnunicatedthat the Emperor .f Cat x A has never been perfectly reconciled to the British, since the proceedings which took place at Macao la,t year. under the orders of Admiral DAURT:-. The Chinese look upon us with a jealous eye ; and such wss the state of thing. when the last advice' came away, that our ships were not permitted to proceed up to Cantoa. as usual. On representa tions bring made, aa order had been procured from the Emperor, who was at Pekin, to suffer British ships to brin;„.tn at the secoug bar, but not unload, till further orders. The Ladrones in that quarter were becoming more formidable every day. Sixty of their boats, under Ltsrne, had attacked the Bo►racort• brig of war about the latter end of September ; after a few broadsides they retired. Captain KA Y, of the Morquig of Ely, hii,ing unfortunately sent his boat with the first officer and seven men i:ito Macao fur fresh provir;ons, intelligence was soon after re:civet' that the Ladrones had captured them, and had demanded., their ransoms 40,0)0 dollars. Some of these pirate boats mount i 6 guns. Cements-a American ships and toi:!ve country ships were at IVharupea, and tv.o A 111 , *(1C41.! at !Un cap; the latter were waiting the arrival of • fey more of their countrymen, in order to proceed in company, for fear of the t.ad►ones.
