This man, Sire, is become the object of the national gratitude, and of our most tender affection. lie merits that Nea politans should dispute for the honour of Ballin g him their fellow-citizen ; he merits a recompenee as solemn, as his action has been glorious, and its • consequences have been important.

Without a powerful diversion on the sea-side, it is likely to he isf long dura tion, for: we are.aliundantly supplied with provi sions. Upor y he loan of two millions,.•as.a secu rity for which we are promised quicksilver and lead, some of oar first commercial hOuses have been obliged to advance, this day, 150,000 livres, in Order to pay the troops, because otherwise dis-; turbances might be feared. The greatest misfor.; tune is, that all the public chests are empty, and , thus, should the blo c k a d e b e p ro l onge d, our mer . -chants will be compelled to make still greater ad vances. The ship of the line llegenerateur has been moored in the channel, to secure it from the ''. English, and also to keep the town in awe. The: St. Bernard and Castiglione will also be more& there.

Cos sacks and Austrian hussars have arrived in the Baden territory, about two leagues hence, and their appearance announces the approach of more considerable corps. SPANISH PAPERS. [FROM THE CQN6iso.) CADIZ, Nov. 29.--Complete order and disci pline.not having been observed by some soldiers o f th e division of it appears, that all the Spanish troops have been sent iota the rear, -the whole thus paying for the irregularities of sonic who, on the 11111, committed disorders iu various French cottages. Fur this fault, the whole army was ordered to remain under arms for several hours. General Freire represented to Lord Wellington, that the whole army ought not to be punished on account of a few ,soldiers. In the General Orders of the 'lBth, his Loidship plied, that he knew by experience, that out of 109 soldiers guilty of any excess, scarcely one AM seized for punishment, and that be bad given the said orders, that the good :night declare who had committed the excess : that this measure in nu respect preiddiced the deserving officers and soldiers of the army : that he had often adopted similar proceedings with regard to the English and Portuguese, when they committed excesses : that upon other occasions, when the Spanish troops deserved it, he had' not followed this Course, it was from a consideration of tic wants and privations which they' endured i and 'ilia . the subSistence Of the army conliniot:he. provided for in an enemy's country, if the coun try were fleeced. Besides, that on entering France he' had declared, that property should be rcipeeted, and that it was necessary to skew that tbe„Allies coinported themselves in war in a very different :winner from the Tyrant. Cum., Nov. 30,- -a lt appears, that yesterday the great question as to the resignation of com mand by Lord Wellington was decided in the Isla, and that he will continue as before. We doubt not that this point has given rise to debates and new proposals. ing 25 officers. Onr loss is seven killed, and 22 wounded, five of ‘vhom have since died. Of the tioopl 12 were killed, and'22 wounded, The Indiaw sulleted • most, 33 of them having been found upon the ground, besides those killed on the retreat. • ‘.‘ Outhe day of action, 41% pieces of brass at. , •tillery were taketi,•and two iron 24-pounders the . Tiny before. Several others were discovered iu the river, and can be easily procured."--A postscript . says--" General Proctor escaped by the fleetness of his horse, escorted by 40 dragoons, and a num ber of mounted Indians." General PnEvosT issued a General Order at the .head-quarteri, Montreal, dated Oct. 27, in con sequence of the American Government having closely confined 23 British soldiers as hostages for the safety of the same number of British sub jects, who had been serving to the American Army, had been taken prisoners, and sent to this country for trial, General Prevost, in this order, therefore announces, that forty-six Americans had been put into close confinement, us a se curity for the safety, of the twenty-three Bri tish soldiers imprisoned by the American Go vernment, declaring that, •by command of the Prince It:Tent, if any of those British soldiers should be put to death in consequence of the re sult of the trials in this country, twice the num ber of Americans shall suffer the same fate. The . General farther declares, that if after - this notifi,, cation the 'American Government shall put to death any of the British who are , now, or . May hereafter be kept as hostages, the Commanders of his Majesty's armies and fleets on the coast of Ame rica have received instructions to-prosecute the war with unmitigated severity against all cities, towns, and villages belonging to the United States, and the inhabitants 'thereof. • This . measure, on the part of the British Government, is. dictated by justice, humanity, and a due regard to the safety of our countrymen.

SoLRM girls DICERF. PALSUM AVDEAT? AMERICAN PAPERS. Boston Papers have been received to the 12th of November, and Halifax to the 20th. In the,e papers we have the American official stateMent of the action with Genorttl Vrockor. This document, signed by General Harrison, is very prolix, occupying upwards of three columns. The Americans; who acknowledge themselves to have been superior in numbers to the British, claim a decisive victory; but the particulars arc extremely diffuse ; the result is but imperfectly detailed. The dispatch says, " 1 left the army before an official return of the prisoners, or that of the killed and wounded, was mule out. It was, however, ascertained, LONDON, 84TUI?DAY. DJ CR MBE R 05, 1813. tire lean, from our Correspondent at 1-larwichi that ,a FRENczt GENTLPMAN has arrived from liolhind on an important mission to our Govern- MeDt. We can at present say nothing further. In the continued abgence of official accounts from Lord WELLINGTON - , we rejoice to find that rumours from every quarter tend to confirm us in the opinion we formed, upon. the perusal of the French Papers, that the British army had signally defeated the enemy. In a Second Edition, last night, we noticed the prevalence of a report, that Sir R. HILL had crossed the Adour, and Lord Wr.Lt.n.twrox himself taken a position on the 13th which threatened to cut off the retreat of SOULT to Bayonne, whence he bad advanced too far to his left on flisparen. If this news can he depended upon, and our excellent. Com mander had by any manamvre interposed a column between SOULT and his entrenchments, it is evident that a desperate conflict must have been the consequence, either in the event of the latter attempting to force his way back to Bay onne, or retreat discomfitted by our right towards Pau. The factl we had previously laid before the public are, however, the latest that can be de-. pended upon. There are besides, numerous let-. tars from Ireland, all of which rest upon a com munication had with a brig from Passages off the Tiocar, and certainly , do not bring intelligence further down than 11th, as appears by-the fat lowing_extract from the Pafriot Dulain Newspa per of the 2jth, Saturday Night, .Dee. 18. " I this day spoke off the Tom with a brig " from Passages, and was informed: that there " bad been hard-fighting between Marquis WaL. " LINGTnN and SOULT on the 9th, upon which " day the enemy had retreated a league-- - on the " 10th and 11 th, the contest was renewed, and " Bayonne besieged. Froni this circumstance I " am led to conclude that the result was favour " able to our army, although it was not known " at Passages. In addition to the alrne, we are informed by " another Correspondent, that the Captain of the " vessel was himself a spectator of these affairs " The enemy was &ilea a league and a half from " the ground occupied by him on the 9th. On " the 10th it did not appear to him that any ad • " vantage as to position was obtained by the Al " lies ; and the battle4d the 11th was - still con " need when be left the port of Sara, on the "evening of that thy." To this the Waterford Afirror of the 20th adds, Au.tp..0t.i401002-s- of th• nitiong twQ__supkgse alto the source of the preceding) from the River of St. lean !le Luz, whence he sailed on the llth, states that " on the 7th the Allies expected to p:►ts the .dour by surprise, but were foiled by the vigilance of the enemy. On the 9th, at 4 o'clock in the morning, the passage was effected, and se vere Fighting took place during that day, at the. close of which the French t'crc driven back cue league and an half. Captain JONES had frequently seen Lord WsLuNcToN before his deputure.--- His Lordship appeared to be in perfect health and spirits." We this day continue our Extracts from Frank fort Gazettes, a complete series of which are in our possession. Our readers will ,rejoice to soe that Count BELLEGARDE, who so pre-eminently distinguished himself with SUWARROW in the glo rious campaign of 1799, is appointed Guneralissi mo of the Austrian forces in Italy. In that country the affairs of the AllieS continue to be most prosperous. The Tyrol, it will . be guessed from the admissions in the French Papers, is in the right way to recover its liberties. We give to-day further extracts from the Arne* rican Papers.
