FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE SPANISH PAPERS. SEVILLP, NOV. 11. . _ The agreeable scenes of the 15th and 36th of /a.t July, have heen repeated in Madrid. The French have all fallen back upon the Retiro, and the regenerated Spaniards have ptititimuselves tin der their protection. Infatuated wretches ! There cannot he a clearer proof of the proximity of our army to the capital, and of the state of the tlielli)% force ! The people of Madrid, with up l►fted arms, and our armies suppli►d with every ne cessary, marching, withont intettelission, towards the enemy, overcoming every obstacle—W hat a glorious prospect!

NovEmitim VICTORY IN THE 3IEDITERRANMAN. Dispatches were received last evening from Lis bon and Cadiz. The latter were accompanied by letters and papers, from Seville, to the 17th instant. Their arrival excited a great sensation at the Admiralty. A report having generally prevailed, that official disnatehes had been received from Lord CoLt.tactrtion, containing the details of the rumoured action in the Mediterranean, the Office wow crowded, and a great hustle prevailed there. 'Dust an action has taken place, is now certain ; hut ne do 'relieve that the accounts of it received, last evening, by Government, are not from Lord COI.I.INGWOOD, but from Admiral Mavis, at Cilia, and that they contain, of course, only the infoins ition which he has been able to col lect on that station. lied any official accounts been received of the action from I.ord Cut.t.t as:WOOD, we must presume, that they would have been sent to the Luau Nlavoa, last night, but, on inquiry, we learn ] td, that n• communication upon the subject had been made to the city.—The following articles, extracted from the Spnuisli Papers received yester day, form, we telieve, part of the intelligence, transmitted by Ad mil al Pt itv is - - SE% 11.12, NOV. 12. The convoy, consisting of 50 ships, which sailed from 'Coulon, and. according to some. carried pro visions for Lamelona, or, according to others, troops to re-inforce the army besieging Gerona, has 'seen destroyed by the English. All the letters we have 'cerise(' from the eastern coast of Catalonia, state this important intelligence, observing, that the shores of Toss. Caddques, Palamos, tee. were co vered with wrecks of ships, and a considerable number of dead [iodic., winch the sae had thrown up. They write from Tarragona, under elate of tlia Ist instant, that the English squadron was in pur suit of the French ; and, on the 2ri biers. that they had already engaged, the result of which was the hurtling of six French skips ; we expect the details. Nov. 15. Don Rosen& Porlits, Commander of his Ma jesty's frigate, called Nuertra Senora de eltocka, has reported to his Excellency Don Antonio de E-. calm, from Tarragona, wider date of the 51h iiist., that the Captain of the English brig of war, 414- (sky, informed him, that a division of three sail of the lir :!and two frigates having sailed from Toulon, on the emit of October, convoying 20 . transports, buund fur the comt of Cask!ossist, it was attacked by Bear-Admiral Martin, on the oil Cede, who pursued it with the seven ships under his orders ; the result of whicis was, that there of the enemy's ships weriedriven on shore, two burnt, and the re. mainder rendered perfectly unfit for service. Af terwards 'several ships of Admiral Callingwood's flryt attacked he convoy no Cape Creuse, took five sad, sunk four, and the* remainder•took shelter in the 13.1 of Roes', where four snore were hunit mud live takvo; w that the tival result of these operations was, tftat one frigate only, and OfIC transport, out of slo, escuped being taken by the Eugli►b.—(t;orenunert Gazette, Nee. 16.) , A perm°, arrived at Itamsgste, whir left Dun kirk on Sunday morning, states, that the report of an action in the Mediterranean was prevalent in that city, and that tbis -loss of the French was stated at 16 sail. This woold amount to the al most total destruction of the French fleet. It appears from the Spanish Papers to the 17th, received yesterday, that the French have evacuated the Mitnediate city of Madrid, and are fortifying themselves in the Retiro. The Retiro is situated, with respect to Madrid, as Hyde Park is to Lon don. The Gazette of last 'light contains an account or the entrance of the Spaniards into Salamanca.— It is given in our last page. German Papers, to the iyth instant, have been received ; their contents are unimportant, with the exception of an article from Montpelier, mention ing the defeat of a division only of the Toulon Beet, with the destruction of the ships already named : and another article, stating that the Tyrolese bad offered to capitulate. They also contain some ar ticles, corroborating the Account in the Paris papers, of the submission of the Tyroleaus. It must be apparent to every person who con templates the effect* of the two recent Treaties dic tated by France and Russia, at Vienna, and at Fre derickshaio, that no further opposition can be made by the centre, or by the north of Europe, to the or ders of NAPOLEON. Austria, deprived of any pert, or means of communicating, either with the Adriatic, the Mediterranean, the German Ocean, or the Bal tic, except by Bostsrsare's permission and suffer mice, most patiently endure the depredation, and the calamities, of every description, which her own. pusillanimous, or incapable counsels, together with the want of all ability in the British Cabinet, hove inflicted on bar. Russia, it is true, seems still to retain sonic maritime sources of revenue. Al emel, Pillow, Colberg, and Stettin, are all port: of con sequence. Though she has lost the key (tithe Vis tula, yet she remains mistress of the Niemen sod the Oder. But this supremacy is more apparent than real ; and FREDERIC WILLIAM is. necessitated to submit to the severest commercial interdictions, that his conqueror may think props to impose.— Germany, which, scarcely twenty years ago, reposed under the shade of Austria and Prutria, has now recognised another inciter ; who, thdugh he has not yet thought proper to assume the title of Emperor of that couutry, exercises an effective controul over every portion of it, from Ilanaborgh and Lubeck, to the gales of Lintz and of Vienna itself. Swe tica is as inneh subjected to A LT:ZANDER. as Ger many to Nsrot.son : but the remote pi:nation of the Scanditiaviau powers, which, together with the interposition of the Baltic, renders any access to the Swedish coasts nearly iwiprocticeble on the part os France ; these circumstances will probably pre serve Cnt.e.t.es XIII. froM undergoing the iiriva tioas inflicted on Fitt sus, and ou FEVDERIC tm. Cottenbureh, we have little doubt, will still remain accessible to our Alps, sad to QUI' COM mere!. Under such a iiressure of irresistible powered the ':hire and on the Danube. enstained by viellatice and energy, such as that exhibited by NAPOLEOII, we ran only look fur resistance to his further inroads on the anciziit re:usiuing emit:ire:aid fabric, in two quarters—namely, in the Peninsula beyond the Pyre nees, and from the Ottoman Empire. Notwith standing the incapacity of our Mioisters, and duis temerity. as *ell not imprudence of our Common ders,.Spain still persons tut aspect of deurcailiell hostility. Armies, comman led by Spanish Gene rals. appear even to be passing towards Madrid, on the north-west quarter : while Gerona, as far us we are able to judge, continues to maintain the most determined resistance. Eiicouraging as these 'lmp toots of patriotism amid loyalty may seem, they can not, however, ja,tify any expectetions of ultimate success. NAPULEOP. liberated from all further anxiety or necessity for exertion, on the Danube, will, we may be amatied, pour his troops into rata loisia, reduce Gerona, and probably advance Mtn Andalitsia. Unless, indeed, the powers of his n 6 nt i, as well as those of his body, are more debilitated than we are warranted to assume, it is not to be sup posed that lie will remain at Fontainbleau, or at St. Cloud, when the complete subjugation of the Pyre nean Peninsula can be facilitated or accelerated by his presence. As soon as eighty thousand fresh forces have entered Old Castile, we shall hear of him on the Teems, or 03 the Guadalquivir. Little effectual opposition can, we fear, be made to the French, by Lord WELLINGTON'S sickly, and d arppointesl army ; which, however it may protect the access to Seville, through Estre mailura and Merida. can lament uo impedimeht to nor APAirre, on the aide of IA Manilla end Cordova. Nor do we lend more faith to the pre tended infusion of new vigour and concentration of authority in the Junta, mode, or asserted to lie made, by Lord Wst.t.sitessr, previous to hi. de pismire front Spain. We snort witness some effects of this vital polisiehl fire, before we annex any weight to the anpposed fact. Tlin Turkish Empire, however :at advanced in dem, ao4 apparently Ivrea, to its extinction, at lead, on this side of tls ItioApro‘; yet, in our judgment, pteseats a noisiser of 'Xi-sources, and of defensible poiate,lo a nation, ,erru;tress, like Great Brffain, of every 4ea.t . ,Austria is shut in, and pre eluded, fven from access to the coast; while all the ports of Frannie are hermetically sealed. But, how vast, numerous, and almost incalculable, are the maritime mesas of the Ottomans ! How accessible is she, on the Euxine, the Egean, and the lonian seas! In the Morea, and in all the islands of the Archipelago, what positions may be taken, that will either baffle, or overturn, or curb the beat concerted plans of Narouton ? We do not hesitate to say, and we pledge ourselves to prove, that, in the pre sent vanquished, or subservient and intinsiduted stets of all the Christiau Princes, Catholic, Pro testant, •r of the Greek Persuasion; and in the almost desperate condition of Spain and Portugal; the only ally from whom we can now draw efficient aid, is that of Turkey. Happily, we here a M e i.: stet at Constantinople, Oa clamed class from the FRERES and the Vt num ; who, we have reaszn to believe, will exert the most active efforts, and pro• pose the most judicious measures, for establishing, before it is too late, an offensive alliance between Great Britain and the Porte. That the Russian arms have been too successful on the Lower Da nube, we have grounds for supposing; but, after the capture of Ismael, of Ibrialow, and even of Silistria, though ALEXANDER'S forces may reach Varna, yet such are the prodigious impediments opposed to their progress towards Adrianople, by the snows audeleffies of mount Hatinus, that no reasonable apprehensions can be entertained of ' their advance" on that quarter, before the next campaign. It our Ministers are not utterly tote of all information on the sole means that now remain, we will not say, of saving Europe, for that, we fear, is already last, but olarrestiog the Corisican Conqueror, and of meeting lain, if we mac so express ourselves. on teen ground, they will turn all their exert towards the Levant.
