SOLLM QUI/3 LUClicit FALSUM AUUtAT ? L 0-/N D 0 IV, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 18 11 . Last night Paris Papers to the .10th inst. reached town the intelligence they contain is, weare sorry to say, of an unfavourable nature. A general action has been fought in Valencia, between the armies of Generals BLAKE and &MIMI', itl'Whieti it appears that the former was defeated with considerable loss. The consequence of this defeat of the Spaniards was the surrender of SagUntum, which was so gal , lantly defended,. and the city of Valencia is there lore open to the attacks of the enemy.' Although we cannot contemplate this defeat of the Spaniards without sincere regret, yet there arc tuany'circum stances in the French General's account of this bay tie which are calculated to excite feelings of a con trary nature. This is the 'first:battle upon a large scale since the commencement of the war in the Pen insula (except the action at Baylen, which can hardly be termed a . battle) where Spaniaidsalone were posed to the French, in which the issue was fur any • length of time doubtful, .At Rio ° Seco, at tudela, at ,Ocana, the superior ta6tics of the French soon prevailed, and the defeat of the Spaniards wes de ' cisive. No blame, however, is attributable to the Spaniards, because they were, not vi&orious upon those occasions; they fought under every disadvan tage. New raised men, without discipline, but full of courage, commanded by Officers, the mass of whom hnd .never' seen service, cotild.not be expected to meet On equal terms the veteran legions of France, led on by skilful and • experienced officeti. But if we loOk,at SecßeT's account of the battle of Saguntum, we shah find that the Spanish • soldiers displayed great courage, with the most perfe6f discipline, and that their officers displayed the utmost skill. The Spaniards not only.' fought 'bravely, but they ma nceuvred with precision, promptitude, and etrea, not only in the fight, but under the. Inc', of the enemy. The battle lasted seven hours, and the Spaniards retreated at last in good order. indeed, if it were not for the surrender of Saguntum, we should be inclined very much to doubt whether the French were ihaually, victorious the fall of that place; however, proves that BL Attu was obliged to reareat: ,The hiss of the Spaniards is represented as being very great, while on ,the side o( the French litxtrair says only 128 were killed.. This state tnent is incredible on the face of it : 40,000 men could tot !tore, been engaged in a close and severe anion for seven hours with so small a . loss on one side. We shalt wait with impatience for General B L A,KE's account of this battle—a battle froMwhich he and the gallant mon that he commanded (though unsuccess ful) will derive immortal honour. We are happy to. find that the Spaniards derived considerable as- Shoelace from a British squadron on this occasion. : A Heligoland, Mail .arrived this morning, Elvin which wpb have made the following extra% HELIGO' LAND, Nov. carttl, NUALX master, about whove safety apprehensions Were entertained, arrived this day from Tonningen, after having landed the Danish prisoners she had on board:` she had been three days aground in the, mouth of the Eyder, bat fortunately got off by a change b the wind, though not without consit;er. able damage, , The Captain states, that all artiele of colonial produce are extremely high at Tonningen.

Nov. t t ree boats, arrtved from the Elbe, bting accounts that the garrison 'of Neuverk with all the guns- and military 'stores have been ith. driwil. The ostensible cause of the French having evacuated this island, which from its situation in the mouth of the Elbe, is in `many respeds a point of same importance, is stated to be its unhealthiness sad want of accommodation for troops in the winter. The real cause, our inforrnant supposes, is the breaking out of some disturbance in the interior, and states, that at their departure there was a re trour, at Halnburgh of aniaion having taken place between the Prussians and French. A cutter has been diopatched to reconnoitre the Wand, and pro cure int,rmation, in order to ascertain whether or out these statements are correa. ov. 14,-- , The 410 cutter which had been sent - to tedonnoitre,Neuverki 113 S been obliged to ant hack twice in consequence of tempestuous weather, which rendered it dangerous to approach the island. The above account therefore %Vents confirMation. .His MAJESTY remains nearly in the same state. Lord EasKINE, we are happy to hear, was yester day-sufficiently recovered• to be removed from Streatham to his house in, town 3 and the public will be glad to bear that this much-respetied mars is now considered to be out of danger.

G.ASKELD, or Thorne's House, has publicly declared himself a Candidate, as on.; of the seniatives for the Borough of Nialthin, ,in Essex, at the' next General Elettion. Major.Gellenil TILSON relinquished the command of the garrison at Dover on ThUrsday. ' Gen. BAR LOW is expected to succed him in the command. Yesterday a Court of Dire ors was held at the East India House, when the following Captains were sworn into the command of their respective ship , , viz.—Captain J. FREEMAN, of the :Lord Keith, for Madras and Bengal; Capt. CoNsTiar.o, of the CkaPmau, for Bombay and Bengal. The motives which have occasioned a separation between a high Personage and a celebrated Acress, have not been discloSed to the public, and probably never will be enure!) , 4er/eloped ; but we have the strongest reasons to be convinced that this event did not result from any ; imputed or supposed ' miscbn., duet on the, part of the latter. Indeed, So far leotn-allei;ing any,-thing of that nature, the high Personage has borne the most decided testimony in favour of, the. Lady, outing the connection, winch subsisted upwards of •twenty :'years, and has made such liberal 'arrangements respeCting her and her children, as fully confirm the !avowable testimony to which we have alliadtd. The Earl of thilDaltWATl:leS new Gothic CaOle,. in • HertfordShire, is nearly completed, the shell of which, it is estimated, will cost at least '174,0001.. It will be by far the Most Magnificent private struc ture that has been erected in England within the present century. • The immense fortune of Miss TILNEY LONG has bren considerably under-rated in the public prints.: She is by far the richest Heiress in England, being in the possession , of landed property, the rental of which exceeds 73,000. per onnuM, together with accntrsulation of money to the amount of 35(.40001. sterling, from the whole of which she derives a net annual income of more OM) 'NINgTY TUOUSAND POUNDS per annum ! • , We may judge of the miserable condition of the subjectS of BUONAPARTEIS king of WiIITENIBERG, by the necessity whicji he .WAS under to prohibit their departure to fineign countries upon the bled plea of pitgrimage. Pilgrimage, in general acceptation, is a jotirney for purposes of devotion, and it' is hardly to be supposed that such a religious enthusiasm could prevail on 'so many of the people of Wirtemberg, as to render a prohibition necessary fur the safety of the State. It is, there's:ire, to be. inferred that the tyranny of 'BUONAPAIITE is felt through all its ramifications, and that the inhabi. tants Of every State where his influence can operate are as much disposed to leave their country as those, of Wirtemberg. If emigration were permitted in . France, the Tyrant would soon lo.e such a• num ber of his subjects, as would raise a population that' 'wouldArag him nom 'the throne - ot usurpation to the tate which his iniquities have so long deserved.
