But, tic moat important, and by far the most elevating liscovery, which the French pretend to have recently made, it that of a substitute for re. gar. It is not possible to peruse the long, accu rate, and able account given of this matter, without a/chilli:twin or concern. The limits of our pryer do not permit in to cuter on it to-day ; but it is our intention, with our first leisure, to present the statement to our readers. if Prance, already deprived of all her sugar coloilies, except Guaila. loupe, fur the bloods of Mauritius and Bourbon scarcely export any, can produce soy thing to sups ply that ...Vet of ronsomptimi among a considera ble part of her ',ovulation, the injurious couse queuces to . Great Britain are incalculable. The subject well merits thither discussion. A letter, it is said, has been received from Guern sey, announcing the arrival there, on the 31st last, lulu vessel, in seven days from Gijon, the Master of which, whose name is Le PELI.LT, states, that it was curreutly reported and believed. at that place, that the united armies of Sir ARTHUR WELLISSLET and Crucial CUESTA, had passed through Madrid.. atiil followed the French. combined force under Jusi.PH Bott•PARTE and SJuI.T, which retired 1.41- fore them to the borders of Castile, where a battle had taken place, the result of which was, the de feat of the French, with great loss, and thecapturia of a considerable part of Josi:Pit's baggage. The latest accounts from Sir .4 lerniiit ‘VELLESI.CY'S army, were given err/erre/4y in Tug BRITISH. mi Monday last. They were dated front Castello Branco, on the Eastern side of Portu gal, on the , 2d Auly, about twenty-four days before the alleged departure of Capt. La Par.aa? front Gijon. We know from the history of Sir JOH!. Moolii.'s campaign, how slowly news travels in Allowile.;, then, four or five days for the transmission of the accounts of Sir A rautra WEL- Lt:9l.ET's success to Gijon, there would remain only an interval of less than three weeks, a space, we fear, much too short for the performance of so great a task as that which Sir ARTHUR is acid to have achieved. We could not learn, tiiTit any official intelligence had been received Irons the Expedition up to a late hour last night. A report, however, prevailed, yesterday, upon the alleged authority of the master of a vessel, who left Flushiag,ou blionday morning. that tin debarkation of oar troops, composing the Expedition off the Island of Walcheren, had taken place, up to the time of bit 'departure. The bouts belonging to the man of war, he states, were em plo)eil ill exploring and taking soundings of the creeks and inlets, preparatory to a landing; and the transports sere taking pOsitions contiguous to the purl,* which he supposed to be the most seers. bible. We place very little relieuee upoa this re port. Those speculators, who do net consider the state of the wind an adequate excuse, when the proximity of Flushing is considered, are busily employed in sending the armament somewhere rise.—Zealand and Cronstadt are both mentioned.
