From the movements and dispositions which are observed in both armies, it would all, pear, that a general attack will soon take place. The enemy, however, may put perhaps ..xpectdtn engagemeut, and hi's numerous marches, counter marches, and evolutions, may not perhaps have any other object, than to cloak and cover a general re treat.—/Lisbon Diary, !Vila:. 17.1 cnenovA, Nov. 3.

THE BRITISH PRE SS. LONDON. MONDAY, l!vcEmacit 4. We are assured, that en interview took place, yes terday, betwen NIAINUIS Wit.I.tSUIT and Mr. CANNING, at the house of the former, et de- Park-Corner. It is supposed, that endeavours are making, by Lord Witt.russior, to bring again into office, his friend. Two modes of effsettng it are suggeStvil. One, that of placing Mr. CAN NINO At the head of the Admiralty. The other, that of his I.ring again rvins!ateil in the Foreign Office, and Lord NVELLEst.sies traiisfer to the place of First Lord of the Treasury. \lr. Miscr.v.o., it is as serted, will, if absolutely necessary, usake this surrender and sacrifice, for the litisG's service, hims . elf with the Chaneeilorship of the Exchequer. There is, we believe, no precedent for such a renunciation hi our Ministerial History. ,• We have rsceived a Fereig:i Intelligence, consisting of Dutch Papers to the ; I,m ate• letters from flolhoid to the 22. th ; Portuguese Papers to the 41st ; Spanish to the 16th, and Paris Papers to the Inst last. It appears, that about the 25th of October, the day of Jubilee, on which the squadvoa and convoy from Toulon sustained a complete defeat, the garrison or Gerona, the rival of Saragossa in valour and patiiotion, made a sue. s•fal sortie.—lt is possible that some of the stores landed from the convoy may have reached Gerona, but the news of the disaster of the enemy must li tic spread along the Spanish coast, and excited simmers! dismay among the enemy. • loiN APAiTE remained at - PailY on the 2001.—He is employed in receiving hisocn, u;iel foreign iii.ters, and, accordiii4 to the. privite accounts, in preparing new honour; fur himself. Ile considers himself as the relwesetitative of the greatest of the Cv.as as, and the Poea as merely his domestic Chaplain.—lle evidently meditates a new title, em bracing Italy and France ; but whether it is to be that of Emperor of the WEST. or something of a more novel fancy, we do not know. According to the Spanish and Portuguese per., Lord WELLIWGTOW had returned to Badajos on the 12th last ; and King JOSEPH had left Ma drid, and proceeded to Valladolid. The Spanish army of La Mancha was advancing to that capital, and King dosarit would probably he induced, as in the last campaign, to retire beyond the Ebro. Saturday, the Recruit, Capt. MURRAY, and the n'olecrette, Capt. Caaa, Tired at Portsmouth, from Vera Crnz, having on board upwards of three mil lions of dollars, on Government and private account. They left Vera Cruz 30 days since. The Spanish line-of-battle ships San Ander and San Dramas, had sailed with 13,000,000 of dollars fur Cadiz ; the latter ship was arcompauied by the Undaunted, Copt. MALING, she not being deemed sea-worthy; and a few days after she sailed, she sprang a leak, which obliged her to put into Perto Rico.—The specie, it was thought, would be put on Inlaid the Undarusted. for her to take it to Cadiz.—The Franchise, Capt. DASHWOOD, had left Vera Cruz fur Jamaica; and the Elludisn, Capt. COCHRANE, for Barbados... Col. COCHRAVL Jons sTo NE ret u rued • to England ia the Rwtsit. We are informed by private acronnts from our army in Portugal, dated the Bth ult. that Lord Wet.t.tvGcutt was expected to return from Se ville to the head-roarters of the British army, at Bade jos, about the 15th. The Spanish General of .the central army, and of the army of Valenti*, were also at Scvilte.—The Generals find no difficulty in obtaining the ',minims& of the Junta, but it is not so easy to mat e it's activity into n fulfilment of them. 'l'hey w ere expected to. leave Seville, as that the Government would supped them zealously in the excention of their plan of ope , rations. These *ls:et/visits Pay, there cannot he a doubt but that the army will adrartee ; Ow want of &applies and the means of transport, which were the causes of the retreat, en the 3d of August, ferias Talavera, cannot be supposed still to exist in that country. The British Commander can move tffi,ftori mein.—The army is so cantuned as to be able to colleti in four-and-twenty hours.—Loril We , tr !mews can meet the 'French with full as 'airiest a force as he had at Talavera.

Afo-r siihducting from this State Paper, ••fittio , inflated expressions, a..d some pas- Ages, at .whivh, the bobtr, correct, and, perhaps, more advanced state of society among us, may revolt, or reptign ; we must, nevertheless, admit, tlftt it is a composition. noble, affect itig, energetic, ■nd ma, in certain parts, sublime. The very de- feet, or imperfections, that our more dia=teued ear, and mode of addressing the British nation, from the throne, whether vaent:t or filled, -impels tis to rrjeet. or to avoid, render ,t prohattly more calcu lated to stimulate a people of ardent imagination, the uatives of a warmer soil. That it will produce a prompt, general, and moat betiefieivi effect, throughout every part or the Spanish Monarchy, even in those provisicei which bare hitherto been considered ao completely reduced under the yoke of France, we venture to entiLipitte with consider- . _ ably confidence. Above all, it will be felt by the Corsican EMPEROR. *ad by every man 'who has enlisted under his standard. from Jost:rm. down to the learnt soldier in the ranks. Th• Spoulards Intve not beiitated or trembled, to de- nominate these two Corsicans, tyrants. perfi- (lima, and olc,:ects of unirereal reprobation or ab. horrenee. Let iis compare the tame filanifestoes of FREDERIC WILLIAM and ALEXANDER, in 1806, or that issued by Fla Nets, only a few months ago. in March last, when, at the head of three hundred thousapd men, be ventured to take up arms against NAPOLEON: with the addrem nuw Witted to the . Spanish people. in the three former, terror, ill. concealed, conscious infetiority, a desire to conci ciliate the Despot whom they opposed, and all those managenieuts which we adopt towards those whose resentment we deprecate, chunicte.ise every .line. This ruffian, sullied with turpitude., and covered wish acts of violence, treachery, and out age, is, in the diplomatic Jangnage of flatiowtTz, of STADION, and of Rouitetow, an Emperor, a King, a Sovereign. The Junta of Spain chum ; `dare to denominate him as he is. They hint.'] as we venture to do, BoNAPARTE ; and they stilt= inutile him as at tyrant, the enemy ol the human . race. We may be mural, that this style and mode of attack will penetrate erns to the inmost apartments of the Thuilleries.; and Uo'donbe it will accelerate all the military porparntions of Nat.°. LEON, for crushing a spirit so untractable. For. that attack the Junta appear to he folly papered ; and io the contemplation of its im pending shock, they invoke the hereditary loyalty, patriotism, and honour. of every trite Speniard.--. Vain, however, we believe, end ineffectual, would have been that appeal, if they had not likewise added another, and a greater stimulus—the solemn promise to the nation, of of ice Constitution. Here is the only, and the read antidote, against the vietc rious arms, the flagitious arts, and the poisoned weapons, of this Italian Usurper. Europe is not yet lost, when one Government yet exists, wise, virtuous, and enlightened enough, to call upon its subjects to arm, and to bleed, not for a King, or for a Monarchy, but for Freedom, and fcr a Coe stitution. Vilna does the Junto do, mad what is the engagement that it solemnly contreets,with the armies and people of Spain' Let us read it in their own language—" We have catieed.". say they, " to resound in your ears, the name of your (bah, a name which will signify in S , raln, the indestenc tilde base of the Monarchy ; the most secure sup port of the Rights Of FI4NPIN AND VII. and his Family ; a Bight fur the People, and, for the Go vernment, eta Übligatimc." Arne they assert, " A people so inuguaiii.notis and generous, ou;ght only to be governed by Laws whith are truly such, and which shall bear the great character of public con. seat, and C 011111,611 util l', ; u character which they can only receive, by emanating from the august Assembly which has been announced to you."— Finally, they declare in words that cannot, admit of two inanings, and of a double aceeptation--tt We hare, lama tbe,tiose of our lustitution, promised FA:RDINAND a Conntry. We knee decreed the Alpo Wiwi of ArLitrary Power, from the time we an- ' notaveml the re-establishment O'er,. Corp's." Here, than, is at last a nation, that has touched the true chord, at the sound of which; the human 'aim', however torpid, 'may be electrified end im pelled to action. We cannot despair of 'a cause, or of.a people, who are invoked in the mime of Melly. It was this appeal, ahictq in 1689, ex pelled a weak and bi b mot tyrant from Whitehall; •which rendered vain all the attempts of foreign force and despotism to restore him to the thnete ; which delegated the Sovereign Authority to the Prince Of ORANGE ; and which finally p!ncell among us, the august I loose of IlaNtiv en !
