London, Nov. 13.
The coincidence of circumstance* between the
battle ot Taluvera, and that in wluoh the Duke
d« 1 I'arque has defeated the French under Gen.
Mart-hand, is not a little extraordinary. In the
battle of Talavrra, the French army attacked the
lii ilisb, who wire posted on a height. At the
battle ofTamames, the French attacked the army
of the Duke del Parque, which was posted on a
height. The defeat of the French, in both in
stances, has been contended for. Lord Welling
ton, however, only talked of following the ene
mj—but the insulted Spaniards assert, that their
army pursued the French, Sc captured 1 piere of
cannon We, however, sue no cause to yield
our reason to our wishes. Either, the French
force has been much smaller than is represented,
or the consequences of their defeat and retreat
will turn out to be of negative advantage._
What have we seen to induct: a belief that eigh
teen thousand inexperienced Spanish troops,
should completely defeat twelve thousand vete
rans, supported by a superiority of cavalry and
artillery? We hope that the consequences of I
this victory, will not be so lamentable as were I
those ef Talavera.
The Spaniards, it seems, are levying fresh t
troops v.ith great vigor, and wantonly arms. Is •
it credible that, with all their vigor, Ministers i
should hy'c found the manufactories of England
incompetent to supply ttie Spaniards }4
Extract uf a letter /tom Lisbon, dated Octo

" Lord Wellington leaves town to-morrow to
join the army.
“ A serious affray took place last night at Be
lem :—some ot the 1st Dragoons, drinking In a
tavern, quarrelled amongst themselves. The
man of the house went out _nd called in the Por
tuguese Police, who attacked the dragoons and
shot one ot them dead. 1 he dragoons immedi
ately drew their swords, killed three of the po
lice and wounded several. One of the police
placed himself behind a door where he expected
some of the dragoons would enter; hut it hap
pened lobe his own officer that first came in. The
police man run him through the heart, and he
instamiy expired.”

“.The Marquis of Wellesley still remains at
Seville.
" 1 he immortal Gerona has, wo fear, fallen.
“ Could your ministers he persuaded to muke
a radical reform in the Commisvariat depart
ment, and place experienced mercantile men at
the head, with full powers to act, your army
would then he useful allies to the Spaniards ; as
matters stand, they are only in the way, and des
troy in one week that which, properly husbanded,
might sene a month.”
A letter from Seville, dated Oct. 20, says,
“ What with threats from Cadiz, with plots
in this city, and with open rebellion to the esta
blished Councils in Valencia, the Government is
completely paralyzed. Nothing is done either
in commerce or civil affairs, or even in military
concerns, except sending recruits to the armies,
which is.-atiended to as fast as weapons can be
provided f. r thenc,8t arrangements wiade for their
subsistence ’
Bonaparte, it is stated, has convened a Con
clave oi Cardinals at Paris, for the purpose, as it
is rumoured, of placing Fescbe at the head of the
Romish Clmrch.
Letters from Cadiz state a prevailing opinion
that the Supreme Junta would be dissolved, and
the Archbishop of Toledo declared Regent._
The 23.h was the day uppointed for electing
the new President of the Junta. It was sup
posed Marquis 'Wellesley wouid defer his re
turn until the issue of this gieut political crisis
was known.
November 14— In the different offices of gov
ernment, it was said, jeslerday afternoon, that a
merchant in the city, of the name ef Hogham,
had received a Moniteur, stating, that six French
line of battle ships had been destroyed ia a late
action in the Mediterranean, and four English.
A • the MonHeur, however, has not keen sent, to
his Majesty's Ministers, which of course it would
have been, had it contained that intelligence, we
(loubt whether any such paper had been receiv
ed. But we are not at. all weakened in our be
lief that an action has taken place, anti a victory
been gained. The article from Nismcs, in the
Rotterdam Commit ot the 9th, is decisive in our
minds ns to the fact ol two ships of the line hav
ing been driven ashore and blown up. But, we
trust, that this is not the sole l.,ss sustain d by
the enemj -that these two ships will prove to
fiure ’-een the two which attempted to malic
their escape after the defeat of the French fleet,
and Were run ashore to pit veni tinir falling into
otir hands And this belief we are led to indulge
with some confidence by other accounts which
h.,vc been received, and which slate that the
enemy lost six sail of the line in the action. The
Seville Diary of October 14, stated, that there
had keen an obstinate action on the coast of Mar
seilles, between the Fiench fleet from Toulon
and Iff English fleet under Lord Colling wood ’
that the loss of the French were six ships, and
that of the English four ; but that the whole of
the French convoy had been taken. Tke same
paper of the 17th states, that the French convov
ha*l been carried into Majorca. 3
Some letters from Caen of the 7th, mention
the action in general terms, and say that the
Fr-nrh were defeated, bnt give no particulars
1* the French papers acknowledge the action,
they will of counts attempt to make a set off
ogamst any loss tiicy have sustained, by dcclar
mg that our loss was nearly as great. After tlm
v. cuuPh of ti e 1st of June, of Abrmkir, and
iiatnjgar, they said, in speaking of that of
Abuukir, that they had one ship hlownnp. With
tt sped to the battle of Trafljgar, they actually
published bulletins iodtlcre.u parts of Franco,
claiming the victory, »r,d sas.-rting that vie had
lo,t 10 or It sail of the line We perfectly wed
remember that scant British seamen who were 1
prisoners of war at the time in France, did not
know tfca result of the Battle till they returned

Yesterday afternoon m Cabinet Council was i
held at the Foreign Office, which was attended I
bv the following members, the I-ord Chancellor,!
Earls Bathurst, Liverpool, Camden, Chatham,
and Harrow by ; Lord Mulgrave, and Chancellor
of the Exchequer.
We are sorry to hear that Lord Camden is ve
rs severely indisposed at his house in Arlington
street.
Yesterday several Ladies, who have been in
humanely detained in France during the war, ar
rived in town, in consequence of the order which
has at length been given for the release of the
women. A gentleman also contrived to make
his escape, and came over in the same vessel, an
American. He left Paris on the 4th instant.
They all confirm the account of Bonapart.-’a epi-'
lepty, and say that lie continues at Fuiuauibleau |
for the purpose of recruiting his health. But his
mind is as active as ever. He is, if possible,!
more rancorous than ever in his enmity to Eng- ,
land. All the endeavor that has been made by
the Bi itisii government to procure an exchange
of prisoners, or the enlargement of those detain
ed at the commencement of the war, have failed.
They all speak of the state of wretchedness that
prevails in tli^ country. Universal complaints
are heard of the fatal effects of his Insatiable am
bition.
Letters from Cadiz of the 29th ami oOtli ult.
state that the French were concentrating their
forces round Madrid, andjthat the Spanish armie s
remain in the same positions as our former ac
counts stated.
We understand that the project of the ap
pointment of the Cardinal of Toledo as Regent,
was negatived. After which the principle of the
Executive Committee was agreed upon ; and ft
specific plan for the conduct of the Government
proposed, but this was also negatived. A second
plan was then digested; and was to be taken
into consideration, hbtlhc fate of this proposition
we have not heard, though it was supposed that
it would share the fate of its predecessor.

Rotterdam, Nov 9—Tlia following is an ex
tract of a letter from Marshal Dumoncea.i *o his
Majesty, dated the 1st inst. from his head-quar
ters at Goes.
“ SIRE—1 have the honour of still being ena
bled to transmit to your Majesty the most satis
factory intelligence with regard to the conduct of
the Dutch troops ; and also the state of defence
of the most important points in the dffierent is
lands of this department. From every informa
tion that 1 can learn, it appears certain, that the
views of the enemy are exclusively confined to
the town of Flushing, and that all the accounts
of their having received reinforcements art un
founded. On the contrary, the enemy’s force in
that quarter rather seems to be reduced ; for in
the course of last week, upwards of 700 sick
were embarked from the Island of Wnlcherc.i
for England. The maladies which prevail among
the enemy’s troops are decided!^ lobe ascribed
to the climate and season ; and it is therefore but
natural to conclude, that they should equally
affect your majesty’s troops ; though, oil
the other hand, the great attention of the medi
cal department, and every possible assistance in
die Royal Hospitals, have been attended with ttie
happiest effects ; so that, in the course of the
last month, no less than 1525 men, were dis
charged from the hospitals, and rejoined their
respective corps.”
From a return of the same date, transmitted
by the Marshal, it appears {that there still re
mained in the hospital six officers and 799 men
sick, and 1 officer and 596 men on the list of con
valescents.
Philadelphia, Dec.26.
FRENCH FLEET.
A report has reached town this morning from
the eastward, stating, that advices are received
of the French fleet which had got out of Tou
lon, having proceeded against Fayul, where they
had destroyed all the shipping in the harbour —
We know that there has been an arrival at Mar
tha's Vineyard from Fayal, having seen a letter
from a passenger ; but this letter is silent on the
subject of the news. It is not at all unlikely,
however,'that this fleet, if it has made its escape
from the Mediterranean, will spread desolation
and ruin wherever it goes ; and as American
trade has not the happiness of exemption from
French violence, it will doubtless come in for a
large share of suffering.Phil. Gaz.
ICELAND.
This large island, subjeel to the crown of Den
mark, and containing an extent of surface nearly
equal t > England, was provisionally taken under
'h . pr ection of our government in July last._
S: range as it may appear, the island was in effect
educed by six seamen belonging to a letter of
• n irque from the Thames ; these dauntless fel
lows look the governor and the whole Danish
.garrison prisoners.—The native islanders are
estimated at 45,000 ; hut they are much scatter
ed, have little communication with each other,
and are miserably poor. They did not seem to
interest themselves in the question who should
be their rulers. A sloop of war which touched
at Iceland, seemed rather to disapprove of the
letter of marque’s proceedings ; and the Danish
governor, count Tramp, isnowat Leith, on his
way to London to seek redress. In the mean
time the island remains, in some measure, in our
hands. It is not of great value, in almost any
point of vie w : no grain, even ci the hardiest sort,
can be raised there. Skins, furs, tallow, live
leathers, and dried fish, are the exports, am'
these are in no great quantity.
Mr. Hooker, a gentleman of fortune from
England, at the instigation of sir Joseph Hanks,
spent the summer in Iceland, in investigating its
natural li,story. He travelled, with a retinue of
Icelanders, as far up the country as the perennial
suow would permit, pitching Ins tent wherever
interesting objects, such a* the Geyser foun .tins,
invited. He made a large collection of speci
mens of quadrupeds, birds, insect*, plants and
numerals, especially plants and insects, in which
department it is said, I a made several discove
lie ; and in. often spent many Hours in making
dr wings, at which he waa excellent. He like
wise put chased, in different placets, many Ice
l.iudick books, weapons, dresses, £cc. at high
prices. We regret to hare to add, that nearly
tile whole of this uclivi gentleman’s labors were
b <;t, by the disastrous circumstance ol the ves
sel in which lie embarked for London taking
f.rc, and being burnt to the water’s edge. The
crew and passengers were saved by another
vecsel, which pi .i/idcnti itly hove in sight. Mr
Hooker was brought to Leith by the Talbot
vl iop of w o*, whose officers showed him the
lit most civility and attention in his misfortunes
