A letter Frotn Malaga dated the end of

imposed there since the French took pos_
Session of the place ; but that it was sup
posed that the enemy would avail himself
of such a source of revenue as soon as he
tould do so with any prospect of advantage.
No further contributions had been recently
demanded. The Poles in garrison conduct -
ed themselves with strict discipline, and to
the approbation of the inhabitants. Some
Spanish Officers had been sent from Cadiz
to the neighborhood of Marbella, a few
leagues to the west of Malaga, to organize ,
the patriotic peasantry in that vicinity.
We understand that 50 000 stand of arms \
are immediately to be sent to Spain, the ;
half to Gallicia, and the remainder to Va •
fencia and Catalonia.
Sep. 22.—Government this morning re.
ceived despatches from Corunna, dated the
Hth instant, which state, that throughout the
whole of the north of Spain the spirit of in.
Sufrection against the French had once more
become general. The French troops were
dying daily in great numbers for want of
food, and mime ous desertions were taking
place. F.xpeditions were fitting out at Co
runnn against Santona and Santander, and
no doubts are entertained of their success,
from tlie patriotic spirit of the inhabitants
having been again roused.
The latest accounts from Lord Welling,
awy ore dated from Oporto on the

ttl doted two days subsequent to his Lord
ship's lost despatch announcing the sunen.
dei of Almeida. At the above date the
Head quarters were still at Celerlco, and
the army in its former positions. Skirmish

expected.

is talk'd of, and a war with Uusu& is men
tinned as its primary object.
Swp’eniber 25 ——A resjiectable Am*ri i

Paris, stating in positive terms, that Lucies
Bonaparte had embarked onb ardihc Ante
rican ship Hercules, at Leghorn, and it was
presumed, that the destination of the vessel
was the United States. He is accompanied
by his wife and family, with a retinue, con
sistingin the whole of forty persons, and be
had obtained, it is added, passports from
the Emperor to facilitate his design. By
a geudeman who has arrived from France,
jhis information is tu a great degtee con
firmed, and we learn that it had long been
the iutentioo of Lucien to quic the eastern
hemisphere, where he could only be second
to his brother, whom lie ctmceived to be
subordinate, and to be indebted to him for
the Imperial Diadem he wears. It is re.,

Spain, as well as the ships Conveytiig it, had
been sold, and tlie proceeds placed rn Hcfiot.
There was nut the least gvoind to believe that
Napoleon would, on the Is* November rex*,
repeal the Iterljn and Milan decrees, as
pnyjosed in the official letter of the French
Minister of Marine to Geo. Armstrong.—
This suggestion was treated as it had been
considered in England, merely as an illu
sive ostentation of a pacific disposition, for
the purpose of inducing the United States
to take measures hostile toG. Britain. This
gentleman also supports the rumor of the
peremptory recall of Junot, Belliard and
M’Dunald, they having fallen ender the dis.
pleasure of the Emperor, in consequence
of some representations, or mtsn picsertta
tions. by the Prince of Esling.
The iett banks ot the Upper Elbe, up to
WfclleiibtirghorTorgan, are tobe occupied
by French troops. for the purpose of pre
venting all trade in colonial produce, and
additional tneasuics of rigor, have for the
same purpose, been ordered by the court of
Denmark.
oep 25.— this morning a Gottenbwrgmaii
arrived. T>ve principal article of intelli
gence which it contains is an account of the
crews of some English boats being made pri
soners by some ot the Swedish troops at
Marstrand, while they were eudeavuring to
cut out a Danish privateer.
We have received some more German
papers, from which we have made some ex
tracts. Bonaparte, it is said, has postpon
ed his intention of visiting Holland till next
spring. A letter from Paris says, that Mas
sena ha* manoeuvred so as to Force the Eng
lish to a battle in Portugal and that the re
suit is impatiently expected
Sep, 26--Paris papers to the 15th inst
arrived last night. The principal articles
which they pie<-ent are tr/o Reports from
Massena to Berihier, containing some fur
ther details respecting the fall of Almeida.
From one cf these it appears that 1200 of the
Portuguese Militia which, by the term* of
the capitulation, were to have returned to
their homes, have by their own consent
been taken into the French service! The ci
devant Portuguese Commander, the Mar
quis D’Alourna was the agent employed by
Massena to corrupt the Portuguefce prison
ers.
Some of the private accounts received by
the Gottenburgh Mail of yesterday are high -
ly interesting. It appears certain that Na
poleon had actually applied to the Danish
government for permission to occupy Zea
land, not with 25,000, but with 30,000 men ;
& it appears equally certain that the king
of uenmark has given a peremptory refusal.
What will this lead to?
That Napoleon has planned the subjuga
tion of all the Northern Powers, or what
mounts to the same thing, to set aside the
present reigning families, and to elevate his
own creatures to their sovereignties, has
long been apparent to those who have studi
ed his character and actions. Will the re
fusal of the kii^j of Denmark to permit the
passage oF his troops through Holstein alter
his views? We think not. Indeed, by the
accounts brought by this mail, this appears
already to be the case.
One of the letters observes that Fretle
rick William, oppressed with thehumilia
ting sta'cof dependence to which he was re
duced, had actually proposed to Napoleon to
resign his crown ; to which measure, it is
said, the French Ruler was not prepared to
accede.

RETREAT OF LORD WELLINGTON.
It was generally expected that the fall of
Almeida would prove a signal to Lord Wei
lirgton to retreat, however slowly. From
priva-e letters to the 9th inst. from Oporto,
brought to Plymouth by a shfp latlen with
Merino Sheep, it appears that this spe
culation has been realized. Of these com.
munications, the following, which is dated
Oporto, the 8th inst. shews the extent of the
retreat, and the positions of the several
armies:
Opohto, Sep. 8.
"I write to. you by the opportunity of a
Portuguese schooner, bound for Plymouth
with Merino Sheep, belonging to General
Stuart, to give you the la'cst information we
are in possession of from the armies, which
you will naturally be anxious to hear, lam
disappointed in i ecciving communications to
clay from head-quarters, which I consider as
a prcKil that the army continues to retreat
towards Ponte de Marcella, where the first
stand is to be made should Massena's ar
my follow Lord Wellington. We are unin
formed where the head quarters are remo
\cd to, since they left Celerico on the 3d or
4>h inst—but by sdme it is stated, that the
Htitish are at^t-ea, and the Portuguese at
Gcnveia, winch is not improbable al
though i am more inclined to think that the
former are at Lerhares, which is much
nearer to Celcrico; but this is of little con
sequence.
*' "Fhe war will now be bvought home to us,
and our brave saldiers must prepare for
blows : for should the enemy foilowup the
Riitish, un immediate action must be the
result. As yeti do not find that the French
had passed beyond Pinliel and Fraxidas,
where our dragoons a few daysagohad ^ -r
ry smart affair with snmc^ French cavalry
and infantry, which were compelled to re*
11 rat, leaving behind them a few wonn
Ucd ami prisoners. Guard;* still continued
occupied by a strong detachment of Eng.hit
troop,, who, no doubt, will maintain that
strong position to the very last. Governor
Trant, with his brigade of militia, was at
Moioucn;* de Relra, and Torre de Msticor*
vfc, in the vicinity of the Bdtm>. After the
Fall of Almeida, the garrison, which surrenJ
tiered prisoners gf war on the occasion, had
the option of either entering into the French
service or being marched off to France ; a
considerable number accepted former,
but with what view will best appear by the
ev«nt ; fur since that period m arly the whole
• *t them have come over and joined Colonel
Trant, Marshal ISemford, and some Uie
British army.
** This shows that the French have no men'
to spare to look after tl»e prisoners they
take.-You may. liowever, expect gloo
my accounts from Lisbon ; for the ndvnece
of the enemy will damp the spirits of the na
tives.”
We have received German Fapers to the
I9tb.French to the 22d, and Dutch to the
26th inst. The Grand Signor had set out
trom Constantinople to place himself at the
head of his army ; and a general add deci
sive battle was expected. Voluntary enlist,

DEATH oy MB. ABRAHAM GOLDSMIDT.
Never was the city a scene of greater c«.n
fusion than it was during the whole of this
morning. Business seemed at a stand, and |
the Stock Exchange and the avenues lead. ]
ing to it Were crowded to excess, to ascer. (
tain the particulars of an event we are a
bout to mention. It is the death of Mr. A
braham Goldsmidt, one of the great Con
tractors for the loan—and we grieve tr» add,
by his own hand. He shothimself this mom.
mg about 8 o'clock ot his house at Merton.
The state of the public funds, the attempts
against, (which we adverted to some time
and consequent depression Of the Loan
-perhaps too, the recent death of one of
the Contractors, Sir Erancis Baring, had for
some days produced at times an irritability
•f temper, and at others a despondency who!
ly foreign from his natural disposition which
was mild, equable and cheerful. We hawe
heard that he has of late, when in his of
fice or in his house, burst out in paroxisms
against what he declared to be a combina
tion against him, in the midst of which he
would burst out of the room. In the mo
msnts of his anguish he has been heard to
declare, that he suffered more than he could
bear.
He would then relapse into despr.mlcncy
mid ailciiCc. But siiii iie was as attentive
and active as ever in his business. Our rea
ders have remat ked that the funds have fluct
tuated mote within the last three wteks
than they had dene for months before—Om
nium has been at 8 discount. One of the
great causes of this depreciation was the
failures, whifch had rendered lmge sales
of stock necessary ; money in consequence
became scarce, and the difficulty ol bor
rowing great, This was peculiarly unfor
tunate for those crticerned in the Loan,
which under such circumstances, could not
but be at a discount. When however,
being at 8 it had improved to o dv 5 12
discount, great hope was eiuertained that it
would improve still more. But more fail.

then to have forsaken him, and we have
heard that he retired from the S'ock Mar.

Court, and even the Royal Exchange were
crowded, all persons eagerly making inrjui_
ries about this event, and forgetting almost
every thing else. *Those concerned in the
Strcic Market were making up their accounts
and little or no real business was done.——
We question whether peace or war sudden

death of Mr. Goldsmith. Few details have
yet transpired, except that he went to Mcr.

This is the second suicide in Mr. Golds*

different causes.
