From various remarks in the .Ilositeur, on the Sperchestlelivertd iu tiro House of Lords, the first riry of the Serwiroo. we %elect the following:— Lord HAZROWWV—" it wet resulted to deoroy the szoitssi and morose, to deprive our twyst itupireable enemy of the mold powerful mesas • Inch be had of injuring us. From unforeseen creole Lad difficulties, this abject has lot bees completely attained; but it has been attained to en ex tent sufficient to frustrate an the plans 'Amuck which he eunW continue from that quarter." Nataileire--" This Lord confides greatly in the cre dulity of Psrliament. Since has belonged to Frame, only one hundred thousand francs have bell expended there, in the construction of a half. moon battery ; nothing has kern expended on the basin. It is at Antwerp, that, for the List four years, tl.ere have been expended six millions upon the fortifications and ba.in, and sixty tailbone for arsenals, building-yards,' and other objects in the marine department. Tile English are at this mo. anent farther from their object than at the coin utencrmrat of the expedition. Before their expe- Wileheren, Batz, Breda, and Bergen-op. Zoom, belonged to Hollawl ; now Walcheren, Bats, Breda, and Bergen-up-Zoom, are united to France; for every territory bordering on France, landed on by the English, and unable to defend itself, shall be united to the Empire. Hence, whenever the Eliglish wish to sign the act of incor poration with France, of any contiguous territory, they have only to niche a lending there, to establivh a correspondence. end to procure for themselves the sort of welcome reception which they experienced in Middleburgh soil South Dewclaw'. The result of the Expedition of the English against the isle of Walcheren, has been the annexation of the right bank of the Scheldt to France; and surely nobody will venture to say that this ameliorates the situa. tine of England."

Besides, in the general situation of military affairs, in the year 1809, it could not be for the advantage of the French to occupy Lisbon. It was advantageous to them that the English should have that po;ut to defend, which employed a great number of troops. There remained is Spain is French army so formi dable, and the Spanish troops are of so little con sialeration in a pitched battle, that, had the Wats cheren Expedition loaded in Spain. the English would, nevertheless, have bi en beaten and driven out of it."

Before the smith LON DON, MONDAY, I. :11.111RIJARY 19. Five Gottenburgh Mails arrived yesterday. but they bring uo news of suy issportance.—The terns of the treaty of peace between France and Sweden have been usade known. and will be found in our extracts frous the Swedish Papers. We have received FriaCis Papers to the Nth, aad Dutch to the IStl► iostat►t. It was reported, at thittud, that BON•rourre had left Paris for Spain, ou the tOtli. but we do not believe it. The uew Bride is trot yet declared. The Lily, Captain Simmer, the arrival of which we mentiossed last week at Portsmouth, from Ca diz, had brought dispatches to the latter place from Vera Cruz. We have already given the substance of the dispatches brought by her frutu Cadiat, in the care of Capt, SIRIUS? and the Hon. Mr. l'ow. loner ; but in a matter of so much interest and importance, our readers may be gratified by the following more detailed account :—ACcordiog tq these dispatches, the French having beta wasted, to pass t►e Skip Morena, without any oppositioo k. Cordon and Seville soon fell into their hands; and when Capt. Sump, left Cadiz, they were daily est peeled Wire that place. The inhabitauts of that city were well disposed to defend themselves to the last extremity; but the want of provisions will ►en. derit impossible for them to resist for any length of time. There are not more than 9,000 troops of the line at Cadiz. Precautions have been taken for the security of the Spanish fleet, which consists of IS sail of the line ; it has been moored outside the Bri tish squadron. All the merchant weasels at Cadiz have been put in requisition to briug away the differ cut members of Government, and such of the inlet bitauts as may choose rather to leave their country than to submit to the tyranny and rapacity of the French. The sudden and unexpected irruption of the French into Andalusir. has excited considerable &term and confusion. No wooer was it krone that the Junta had fled from Seville, than the people took up arms, and having set at liberty the Conde Ds MOSTIJO asst Dot, FSANCISCO FARRSORaWbe had hen iuiprisoued on a charge of conspiracy against the Government, they surrounded the Junta ! ofSetille, demauding the immediate appointateaa of a Regency, and exclaiming against the Supetme Junta, as traitors to their country, who hadaiban doned the plisses of the mountains to the French, and them fled to Cadiz with the money which pity had received from America. At Xeres de ht Esau tent; the Archbishop of Laoutcsa, President' of the Junta; VALutz, formerly Minister of Matisse; ■nd OVALLI, one of the Deputies of 'Estremadure, were seized by the populace, sod would probably have been put to death, had not some persons, who had influence with the populace, got theta shut tip in the Carthusian convent, and detained them . there as prisoners of state. On the nevus of these excesses, Geueral CASTANIII, who was at the Isla de Lou, tactiii himself to obtaio their liberation, and had them conveyed in safely to the Isla ; but as they felt that their authority was now complete ly at au end, no sootier hod they assembled at that place, with the other member,, of the Junta, than they appointed a Regency, composed of the Bishop of Oaten; of flAllfltOnA. Minister of Fi nance; of Canaan, Captain-General of A ndalu sn ; of EWAN°, Minister of Marine; and FORS AS DER Dg LEON, Minister of the Indies; and transferred to these five persons the:government of the country. This appointment took place on the 19th of .1:411{14.. ry. The French are in the mean time advancing without opposition. Part of the Spanish army is collected at Ronda, and part at Grenada; but es soon as the French shell advance to Perez and Port' St. Mary's, the communication of Cadiz with the rest of the country will he entirely cut off, except by sea. A reinforcement of British grno r , loom Gibraltar was expected to mishit at the defence of Cadiz, and many thousan.l persons weir at work iu completing the fortifications on the Kumla'', which had been left uutioislied. We understand, it or in consequence of the above information, that several line-of-battle ships are or dered to be got ready, at Portsmonth. for sea imme diately. They are to proceed to Cadiz, to ontedurt the Spanish ships on a safe place el retreat.
