The Neapolitan privateer the Gelb has taken
the English cutter the Success hound from Liver-
pool for Messina. This vessel had arrived en the
14th of September. at Gibraltar, whence she again
tailed on the 19th. The Sienr Vials. Sicilian Agent
at Gibraltar. availed himself of this opportunity to
send important dispatches to his Court, and a great
number of private letters, divined far Nlalta end
Palermo. All these papers, which the English
Captain had not time to throw .3verboard, fell into
the hands of the Neapolitans. They shew the pre.
sent situation of the insurgents in Spain, and what
advantages they have derived from their alliance
with England.
The relics of these insurgents are exposed to all
the disorders of enerchy. All .01e provinces subject
to the yoke of the Junta of Sesiile, demand s new
goveranseat. Evesy day is marked by some ►an-
pitasry tumult; every day produces some new
satire against the present rulers. Add to this. the
dissensions Between the members of the Junta, the
inexperience of many of them. and the ambition of
ell. So many evils have rendered a different order
of things absolutely necessary. The people have
required the formation of a
,regency ; the Jauta
has been obliged to comply ; and on the Ist of
September the Cartes met to elect a Regent.

When the Sacco's left Gibraltar, nothing was yet
decided ; there were as many en.npetitors at paw
ties; and they could not agree on whom to confer
the dangerous post of conducting affairs in their
present desperate sititation. Several Members of
the Junta have resigned, and, among the rest, M.
Garay, who was at the head of the Department of
Foreign Affairs.
According to The Seville Caveats, found on
beard of the English c' .ter, the battle of Talavera
Ms increased to the highest pitch the confusion
which prevail, in the south of that unfortunate
country. The Spanish Generals mutually accuse
each other of bavi❑ betrayed the common cause.
Cuesta and Venegas pretend that Gen. O'Donoghue
acquainted Nlarshal Jourdan with the force and po-
sitions of the S‘mniards. Welk sley complains of
all the Spanish Generals, who abandoned him at
the critical moment. Ile has withdrawn from the
insurgents, and retreated tower& Portugal. The
enraged people have compelled Cuesta to yield the
command to Ecuya.
Such was, on the 19th of September, the situ*.
thou of that unhappy country—where the English
have armed tile citizens against each other, where
they have spread universal desolation and death,
and where they will terminate their horrible career
by a disgraceful flight.
The Captain of the Gallo having 'raring] that the
Sweets was formerly an Impenul breach ship, has
made a present of it to flis Majcaty the K;in;, who
Sias ordered that this cutter, which carries six gus,
sbonld be fitted for service.

LONDON,
THURSDAY. Normans 9.

We have received a regular series of Mewl-
tear r, from the Kith to the 91st last, and seve-
ral of the micor Paris papers, •f various dates,
within that interval.—Since RONAPARTI'II re-
turn to Paris, he has remained at Fontaine-
bleau, enjoying the pleasures of the cliace.-s-
Great pains are taken in the Paris Papers to
contradict the report of his illness.—fle is
represented to be in the best possible state of
health ; and the departure of his first physician,
CORVISANT, for Vienna, which gave consistency, if
not rise to the report of his indisposition, is ac-
counted for upon the ground that symptoms of the
dysentery had appeared in the Grand Army, and
that the Emperor hail seat for him, to have the
benefit of his advice. Some papers, found ou hoard
an English vessel. the .Saccess, taken by a Neapo.
Won privateer, on her way from Gibraltar up the
Mediterranean, are said to give a very melancholy
picture of the confusion that prevails in Spalu.

A Goitrnburgh Mail has arrived with knees
awl papers from Sweden to the Od inst. It
is stated in a private letter from Gottenbargh of
the let, that the shutting of the Swedish ports
against England is deferred until the 15th inst.
The White Sea Company ■re stated to hare sus-
tained considerable lose by the late descents of
the English on the coast of Norway.

sufficiently evince the superiority, swami, and
perspicuity of their views. AU has beeo calculated
otahe deepest sad wisest geographical bases or COM.
biaations. The whole may be said to constitute
a sort of political paling, or inclosure, within which
the unfortunate Emperor of AUSTRIA is immured ;
and in which prison (for such it in fact is). he may
still, like RICII•RD the Second, " monarchise, he
feared, and. kill with looks ;" till his Conqueror,
having accomplished his projects of subversion awl
destruction, iu other quarters of the Continent, is
ready to resume his plans of ambitiou or of venge-
ance against Fiume.
If any portion of Germany could compensate
for the irreparable loss of the Tyrol, ceded to Ba-
varia by the treaty of Presburg, it undoubtedly
was the territory of Saltsburgh. luadNuate as
this exchange must be esteemed, cet it covered
Upper Austria ana Styria, as well as Cariuthia,
like a shield, on that exposed and vulnerable
quarter. The population of Saltsburgh, as well
as the revenues of that Archbishoprick, did not
indeed much exceed a third of those of the Ty-
rol. Neither did the inhabitants feel that enthu-
siastic attachment to the House of Austria. which
characterize the latter. Nevertheless, its local po-
sition, its salt-works at Hellen. mud the mines of
various kinds, found in the country, rendered it
inestimable. The little jurisdiction of Berchtols-
Kaden, situate a few miles south of dm city of
Saltzburgli. completes the cession. Nor is the
part of Upper Austria, though very incousiderable
as to extent and surface, which constitutes a claim
in the first article. by any means au object of small
coosideration. It weakens the Austrian, whilst it
proportionably strengthens the Bavarian frontier.
between Passau and Lintz, which latter city be-
comes almost on the extreme border of FRANCIS'S
dominions. Although it is only stipulated, that
these territories " are to be placed at Narovuox's
disposal, fur the interest of the Sovereigns of the
league of the Rhine ;" yet we cannot reasonably
doubt that they will be made over by the Corsican,
to his vassal King of BAVARIA. Of all the ancient
dynasties of the second class, Maxtutciao Jost Pm,
the reigning Prince of that country, as he was the
first to swear allegiance to BONAPARTS, so has he
made the greatest sacrifices to his revolutionary
master. Even his daughter, the Pot.exawa of our
times, was offered up, and married to EVG6IIIR
Beaumaauots. as the best proof of her father's
obedience. He has been proportionably rewarded,
and may, not improbably. be allowed, as lie is
now integrated with the Ajaccio Line by this alli-
ance. to melt into, and become a member of their
House.

Calamitous as the first article of this Fierce must
by considered, its nature and operation are harm-
less. when compared with the second. It is there
that Austria cedes at once her commerce, her con-
nezion with the sea, a most valuable source of
revenue, and all hopes of resuscitation by ram,' of
Great Britain. What mast not the unfortunate
Faani is have suffered, when he signed a treaty at
once so humiliating and so ruinous ! The county
of Goritz, lying immediately behind Trieste, ou
the edge of the ancient Venetian provinces of the
terra firma, contains in it the celehiatwl quicksilver
mines of ldria, that supply almost all Gorman), and
Italy with that valuable article of consumption,-
Austria must henceforward purchase it from her
inveterate foe. Not only Trieste, Fiume, and all
thecoest along the head of the Adriatic, technically
denominated the 41 Littorals," are abandoned to
Nzpoi.auts ; other. and, if possible, more serious
concessions are made. Besides the small district
of Montefalcone. Istria, and Ike islands dependent
en that province, "ogre than half of Croatia be-
comes French. The whole of that country, to the
right. that is, to the south of the river Save, quite
to the point where it touches the frontiers of &lo-
nia, between Dobitza and Gradiaca, is surrendered.
It includes Carlstadt, the capital, as well as many
inferior places ; making N Al'ol.lloll a frontier
neighbour of the Turks, from the borders of Bos-
nia, uninterruptedly down to Catnap"; and from
thence, by means of Corfu, to Albania and Epirus.
The consequence mutt be necessarily subversive
of all influence, on our part, over the counsels
of the Porte, and it facilitates all his plans for the
attack of Constantinople. On the other hand,
these who know the affectionate loyalty and
adherence of the Crests to their enema Cove-
reign.. the Princes of Austria, and the prodi-
[nous supplies of hardy, as well as of able soldiery,
furnished by that province. in ever, war, for the
last hundred years ; ran best appreciate the irre-
parable misfortune of inch a cession. The Save in
future divides the territories of France and Austria.
In order to secure, beyond auy possible contingen-
cy, the possession of all these countries, one only
article more remained to be extorted : namely, the
"Circle of Villach in Carinthia." As long as
FazNCIS held this little tract of territory, lie could,
by stationing in it a strong corps of troops, effectu-
ally impede and prevent any communication be-
tween Saltsburg, the Tyrol, and Caruiola. It was
therefore to bun of the very last importance to pre-
serve such a point. But. for the same reason,
Bost SPAM'S determined to retain it, and he ex-
pressly does so by the second Article. Saxon, Ba-
varian, and French forces,may therefore now march,
without molestation or interruption, from Dreeliets
to Carter,; scrum, half Europe I We are lost in
