Nothing could more distinctly stew that the gal ' lan try and digcipline of our forces were unmatched, than these simple narratives. In truth, the enemy - seem to have had no more chance than a rude rab ble contending against the firmestbraveryand most accomplished skill—and after all, it was but raw American levies contending against the victors of Toulouse! What pleases us most is the account of the short staywl,ich Mr. President MADISON and Mr. Secretary ARINISTIZONG made in the field.—They are tine feirows at—running away ; but we hope they saw enough to teach them that they have grossly erred ip their political ,system., We wait with some impatience for the details of the Artions in the diversions against Balti more and Fort Washington, in which we have to lament the loss of that gallant Officer, Sir P. PARKER. Before leaving this subject, we cannot help re ferring to Tun Sus of Saturday the 17th, in • which we commented upon the following antici- peed -( not as usual, prognosticated) prophesy of the Talent's organ of that date. " 041 r Admiralty have suffered the whole summer to pass away with out one effOrt to stop the progress of the United State, either on the Ocean or the Lakes." What a fine context have we got to this piece Of Party work ! August, to be sure, is not strictly 3peaking a summer month ; but it is a had beginning of of their autumn, to the Yankee friends of the Chronicle. We have . the Baltimore Daily Advertiser of the 24th August;and the National Intelli 6 -encer of the 23d. The former contains a long narrative of the attack on Stouington., It mentions from Boston, of the 18th, that the British frigate Leander; and the Liited States' frigate Constitution, were lying in sight of each other, and scents to anticipate an action.- The Spencer, Majestic, Bulwark, Shannon, and another ship, entered Cape Harbour, and as they were afterwards seen from Plymouth Light house, it is probable:that - Massachussets has also been visited by a diversion.--Four thopsand draft , ,ed Militia have been marched under Governor TOMKINS to New York, and defensive measures arc pursued with due diligence and in proper tri bulation of spirit. Among the bravest defenders of America 1500 Irishmen are particularly boast ed of. We learn that General PREVOST has interdicted all intercouse with the United States on pain of death: General IZARD, if attacked by a su perior force, is to retire to the strong works at Platt'sburgh ; the British are making roads at Odd-town so wide as to. allow of their march ing by platoons against the Americans. We may therefore expect important adTices from the side of Lower Canada. There is a dispatch from Fort Erie, of the 14th, mentioning nn affair of the 12th, in which a Major MORGAN, with lf/ A ) riflemen, was beaten by the British, and the Commander killed. 'e cannot resist our impulse to copy the fol lowing from Washington, of the 24th :—After de scribing the march of many troops, the Writer acids, "In a few hours thousands of brace men will be prepared to resist the host of Mercenaries that now threatens us. - Arrayed in de - tence of all that renders lif e a blessing, and for pro tecting from insult and desolation the Metropolis of their Country, hallowed by. the venerable name *of WASHINGTON', every . arm %yin be nerved with VALOUR IRRESISTIBLE! ! !" We' have no ioou for further extracts. French Papers to the 25th have supplied - us with some hasty extracts. It. will be seen by•our pri vate letters from Spain, that there are two ways of depicting matters in that country, as well as in others. The Funds have risen nearly 2 per Cent, on the • good new of the day. • . . iidfich has not been Visited by a hostile and victoriobs Eneuiy. %Ten ' na, Berlin, Mos Cow, Paris; have in turn corifeii,ed_ the pres6nee of fiConqueror ; and at length the valour of - Britaiti adds Washington, the-Metropolis of the United States, to the list Of proud cities hum bled. Notwithstanding all the immortal brilliancy which halo-like shone around the dazzling career of nur WELLINGTON; notwithstanding the enthu. s.kisin with which we from time to time received the accounts of victory after victory achitved by that hero ; we will venture to affirm, that scarcely any one of his noblest actions gave greater satisfac tion to the British Empire than the exploit which we have this day the pleasure to record will give. it is full and perfect iii all its partit gratifies us as a biiiiAi,riAii . t. The Gihrahr v`vhicli We received yes te; clay, Coniains a Problathatidii issued by the Commaiider in Chief of his Wiesty'S Forcei in that phice, renewing Xll the Orifei.s and i:kgulatiinis that were established during the sickness which prevailed in the garriS'on - Init year; in conk que.iie of the re-appearance of that (iisOrler. The Bo a rd o f H ea l t h h as published its proteed ings, and all pOSs.ihle means are taken to check the disease, as appears also by the following letter:— .. • " Comp,'Mwtr a ? G renn d , Gibraltar, Sept. 5: " Since' I wrote last; the dkease which Was then jUst ap pearing, is now 'decided to be quite the satire as last year. The number of deaths and attacks, though apparently small, are yet id a very serious magnitUde coMpared with the Very few remaining in the town, who - have not had the disease; last year, in 1810, or in 181 W. Every precaution that htirnah foresight could adopt to prevent th e i n f ect i on spreading hai been taken, 'and-font-fifths of the inhabitants have left the -place..i . some have goisti to Algesiras or St. Roque ; many on board ships in the flay, but the greater part are in huts and tents on the neutral ground. The Spaniards have throw.) a cordon of troops across the neck of land, and prevent all in tercourse with Spain ; and so careful are -they, that buckets 'with vinegar are brought by the market people (who will not approach within twelve yards into' which all money is tirs't thrown behwc they will - tourii it. 'The number of dt.atiLi , have hitherto been ntnrly one in :every - three attacked: all business is at A stand, and the places of public worship, wine houses, .lice, shut for the present. The troops in camp are perfectly healthy." . By, the return of the Board of Health it up pears; that from August 18th, op to the 2d Sep. tember inclusive, out of twelve cases in town anti thirty in Lazeretto, four of the fOrtneK and ten of the latter had died, and there were eight convales- I cents from the Lazeretto. -- - .. I Private Letters mention that on the sth instant four persons died of the disorder. BREAD for the ensning'weck to remain' at One .Shilling and One Penny Farthing the.Quartern Loaf. Yesterday the 'Thik c of CLARENCE visited the PRINCE REGENT at Caritoll House. Admiral BEaßspotto took leave of the PRINCE REGENT yesterday, previous to his leaving town to•set sail to convoy the Pl::'..L:. r.iEGENT of POR TUGAL from the Brazils to Lisbon. Admiral D'AUVER-GNE, Duke of Bouillon, has claimed the property and privileges appendant to that•title in France. A Gentleman who arrived yesterday from France informs us, that in consequence of are port that the precedingjannrica fleet had brought the plague to England, . all communication w.th yessels.fro m this country Was on Friday the 16th inst. prohibited, and eleven ships whiCh had ar rived at Havre were prevented communicating to the shore. - Further information Was obtained in the early part of last week, and all restrictions were taken off on Thursday last. Lord LYNEDOCK arrived at the Black null Ino; Edinburgh; on Saturday sennight, in an open landau, His Lordship looks well. A private letter froM St. Thomas's states, that the Colony was immediately to he delivered up to the Danish Governthent. Chichester Theatre 'is expected •to b4e opened fora few nights by a company of French Come chans, if the, Magistrates should sanction their performing. Mr. RAYNSPORD from the Public Office, Shad well, is appointed to the Public Office, Hatton- Garden, in the room Of Mr. CAPPER, who has resigned, and HENRY GREGG,. Esq.. of Bedford square, succeeds Mr. RAYNSPORD at Shadwell. - The King of FRANCE issued a Decree on the 18th. September, granting his permission for the Duke of TARENTUNI (MACDONALD) and the Duke of ItEcGto (OUDINoT), to dispose of the pro perty in the Kingdom of NapleS which had been granted to them during the controul of BIIONA PARTA over that country in the best manner they can ; the product to be: employed in the purchase of domains in France, or to be placed in the Con scriptions on the great book of the Public Debt. As this is a matter which concerns King Joachim rather than the F renc h G overnment, it seems to beanextraordinary interposition of the ;sitter. The Spitfire • sloop of war, Capt. DALTON, re turned to Portsmouth on Sunday last, from Bil boa-, where she landed the Duchess de PINFAN 7 TADO, consort of the late Ambassador from Spain to our Court. The Dnchess was pleased to ex press the highest satisfaction at the polite atten tion of the officers, and presented the Captain with a handsome service of plate, and the Lieute nants and Master each with a gold watch.—She also:directed 335. to be paid to each of the war rant officers, I3s..to•each seaman, and 7s. ttf each of the boys. • ,_ THE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of Alexander the "Great, which, amidst all its wildness, exhibits a fine poetical portrait of the great Hero of Anti• quity, was repretented last night at Covent-Gar den Theatre. CONWAY, who made his London debut in this part, assumed it last night, and hav ing the advantage of a commanding person, ac quitted himself respectably. Mrs. RENAUD was the Roxana, and Mrs. H. JOHNSTON the Statira. After the Tragedy a new Ballet was brought for ward, entitled " Doctor Sangrado," chiefly for the purpose of introducing Madame BizET D'EG VILLE, who was admired as a dancer in Paris and at Brunswick. ' In figure she is not much calcu lated for a dancer, nor was her performance of the first order. . She was, however, received with the I sual liberality of an English audience, thong i the piece itself experienced but a rough, recept on. •i -, KE. is now perforthing at Birmingham, and ELLISTON, the Manager of the Theatre in town, in order to increase the attraction of the former, has announced he cannot be seen at. any provin cial Theatre for two years, as the whole 9f the' vocation, after the Drury-lane season, is engaged for Ireland. Mr. SLIARPE, the Engraver, notwithstanding the recovery of BRoTHEHs, and his disavowal of all divine inspiration, is among the followers of Joanna Southcott, and confidently believes in his snperwatural mission, as pregnant with some ex traordinary event ! ! • The ensuing Birmingham Mtisical Festival will consist of near 300 performers, being the largest orchestra that ever was collected together out of London, and even there, except at the commeruo ratio. , f HAND.EL, in Westminster Abbey. •• • - NA17:11; NEWg: i'ortrsiriouTH, hiS his Majetit' Griiwier - ;,frOfrl cruise; frorri ili f el3altic.- - - - -:- - .Arried the tolNyrt*-ing trailiPOrti frorii Qtiebee Earl Moira, 548 ;Britannia, 31.; 13Oadi'ca, 561 ; Regalia; 114; Molly; T. , ll3 Charle.?; 525 ; 363 567 ; tha n ; 28 ; Vnion, 627 ; Isabell4, 614 Hekri; 510; B i riioi), 216; 669 ; Lady .sulks; KingstoU, Clarerition, and the FideS ; also threii ofh2r vesselS; one No. 4, ,hrui iin or ii€ r 8,-iiled yesterday his kaje ty's ship La flogUe, and Swift store-ship, for Chatham ; Bourse CitOyeruie„ toi .
