Two Gotteoborgh Moils arrived lout rooming,
from which we have made some extracts, bet they
are not important.

We have received Patio Papers to the 10th inst.,
and some more Duteb Papers of the same date, but
their coutrob are not of any importance.

A fall report of the Berkshi►e kfeetiag, held at
Mimeos, so Moo lay. is given io our subsequent
columns. The *ease of that county, the'rery seat
of royalty. it will be seen in the Address, was
strongly expressed against Ministers, and all their

weever's. Besides the speakers. the prisripal of
whom was Lord Fotaorown. we, observed among

Kirin WaleßT. the Hon. Ur. Gain', and many
ether distinguished perasueges.

We 4ive, this day. from Tke Seville Corer's's:a
Gin:cite. a Manifesto, published in that city, on the
20th last. which displays an unbroken spirit ender
the late defeats, end a determined revistansie to the
invader ; and encourages as to cling to list hope,
that a better order of things may yet arise.
Netwithatlndiag the dark political deed that
seems to overshadow the Spanish peninsula at the
present moment, yet are we leas than ever inclined
to retract and abandon the opinions which we have
at different times. sad recently hazarded, redirect-
ing the final issue of the flagitious attempt to re.
dew that country to Boaseaftines obedience,—
Nay, we are ilmeet inclined to advance si step fur-
ther. and to say, that the enterprise, which, is cold,
systematic, sanguinary atrocity. stands alone and
pre-smierest. even among the crimes of the Italian
mike; who greverna France, will eventually revert
apes himself with accumulated force. There is
something in the character and nature of the Spa-
nish war, altogether unlike the alters undertaken
▪ Anstrie, Prussia, or Russia. We admit
that the disastrous results of the two battles of
Oansa. sod of Alba de Tonnes, followed by the
surrender of Gerona. are not calculated to inspire
confidence, either is Spanish valour or tactics. We
see the defects, the interested intrigues, the inca-
pacity, and total waist of all vigour, energy. or
pouiptitecie, in the conduct of the Supreme dente.
es
strongly and as clearly as the Marquis de la
Ron t e A can dePretute it. W it ll that high-minded,
irteerrept, and patriotic Nobleman, we agree, that a
Regent would he preferable to the present Govern-
ment. Even in the convocation of the Caries, we
behold truly a very doubtful remedy fur throe evils ;
aer do we expect that a Regency.
.whether vested
in one iadividual, or in a Council. will ori4inate in
any thing except' the very last necessity. In addi-
tion to these misfortunes. we cannot be insensible
to the temerity of our General, who ruined the
British army, by plunging into Castile ; or to the
utter incapacity of our IL'ahinet, who knew not to
what part of the peninsula the English arms should
and ought to have been directed. Lastly. we know,
by rape- lake, the decision, talents, resunrces, and
earthen, of the invader, who, having dismembered
and crushed Austria. may, and certainly will. di-
rect his whole disposable force against Andalusia.
Viewing, nevertheless, these facts in all their
magnitude, without any disposition to disguise or
to diminish the effect which they art calculated to
produce on the mind, we shall state the reasons
which induct- es to persist in thinking, that Spain
is by no mesas reduced to extremities. Lad we

would begia by reinaiVng. that the victory of
°cane, however brilliant or decisive it may have
been, yet appears to us to bear no resemblance, in
its consequences, to the victories of Narni.gutl, at
Austerlitz. at Friedland, or at %Vagrant. The first
and the last of those engagements, intimidated the
Sovereign or the Government of Austria to with a
point, as to enable the conqueror to dictate teens of
peace. Such was the impression made on A EXAM-
iota, by the defeat which he sustained vet Friedland,
that, iu his terror, he forgot every thing, except his
safety. which he purchased by the sacrifice of his
ally, his own consiatency,honour. anti indepeudeuce.
From the enemy of BOP•P•aTit, he became. in a
few kola/a, and has since invariably remained, his
friend, his tool. and the amid accomiuoilating of his
ramie. But have these, or similar results, taken
place in Spain ? ~lave the Siii.retne Juota, lute-
pable as they may be, sent any of their members to
Meet NE', or MOIITIER, or VICTOR. in a windmill,
or on a raft ? Have the Spaniards testified any
readiness, since that unfortunate event, to acknow-
ledge, and to submit to Joivril Bon A e.titTli ? Nay
more, do the French advance, in consequence of
their victory ? Or, on the contrary, do they retro-
grade, instead of pushing forward to Cordova ? By
the accounts from Seville and Binlajos, which we
gave yesterday, we see the precise positions re-
spectively occupied by the victors and by the
vasquialied. We see then.. to from the total want
of provisions, or of subsistence," in the sterile
and desolate region of La Mauch', the ahpde of
famine, the French were unable to improve their bite
advantage. Lven at Nladrilejos, and at Consuegre,
in Castile, it was believed to be impossible for them
to maintain themselves, on the same act (luta.—
Meanwhile the routed army of A IttSiGA was rejoin-
ing its standards. Above 14,000 infentry,end 5000
cavalry, bad reunited before the Nth of December.
No alerts seemed to have been frit at Seville; nor
was say disposition manifested to negotiate with
the French Generale—As little benefit uppeared to
have been derived by KlLLattilan, from the victory
obtained over the Duke del PAalltlE, at Alba de
Tonnes. Twelve thousand Gallicians had subs*.
(licitly joined him, and we do not find the French
attempting So occupy Adarp, or to march towards
canine*.

In other gam ters. they have not as yet displayed
more superiority. Those' Lord Wattixorom's
army, reduced to half its numliers by airitneni, has
abandoned ita posit:oir at Hailajos, avid is now at
the city of Coimbra, on the coast of Portugal, yet
Moans a hitherto has made no effort to penetrate
into Andalusia, by Merida. With equal astonish-
ment and satisfaction we even find, that the two
bridges scrum the togas, at Alumna, and at Arno-
bispo, by which alone the French can enter Estee-
madura, were in the bands of the Spaniardi, guard-
ed by the Duke of A taciat (ague, at tbt heed of
a enusiderable force, so lately as the middle of last
month.

If. after these great landniarkin its look round on
Spain. we even where behold abhorrence, resist-
ance, and opposition, ou the part of the Spaniards.
Even the French accounts admit and recognise the
fact. If we can credit the intercepted letter, from
General TUISSAULT SO LA GAIN'S, dated " Bar-
gos, 11th December." puirlislied on the 15th, at
Seville ; bow desperate • picture of the French
affairs does he gist., in Old Castile! In the patri-
otic donation made by the city of Salamanca to
the Doke Du. PASQUA'S army, consisting of
44.000 shirts, 20,000 pair of shoes, and
cloaks, we may see the patriotic ardour of the in-
surgent% and of the people at large. America
continues to pour in treasures to the mother coun-
try. 'Ureic* and Paraguay vie with each other is
pecuniary remittances. Even is the provinces of
the peninsula, wholly occupied by the French ; is
Navarre and Biscay, there exist Spaniard' in arms,
who intercept, attack, anal rnasoscre. their invader..
The conscript. of the Corsican descend the Pyre-
nees, it is true; but not in great numbers. The
Germans refuse, and the Swim decline, to murder
the Spaniards. for BONA PARTSS ambition or venge-
ante. Ile himself still remains at Paris, intent, as
it would seem, more on marriage, than on coaquests.
In this state of things. we repeat, we cannot yet
regard the Spanish Monarchy as lost ; and we even
think that infieratfelpoifiou is not to be conside:eal
as desperate.
