ISLAND, Makin' 26, 11100.

The fire which broke out an Saturday hut, at
the bakehouse of Low Ammer, unfortunately con-
sumed mere European property than we recollect
to have been destroyed by fire ►ince the establish-
ment of this settlement. It was occasioned, as we
understand, by the carelessness of some of the peo-
ple employed io heating the ovens ; and, front the
dryuesr of the materials of which the premises
were composed, in a abort time, the whole was in
flames, which almost immediately communicated
to the premises occupied by Mr. liodyk, the Police
Office, and some Chinese shops, at the corner of
the street; the whole at one time exhibited the

most awful spectacle ever a itticseed on the island.
Fortunately, the wind was light and southerly, or
thew valuable sud extensive preiniscs, belonging to
Mr. Douglas, inust inevitably hare been destroyed,
and priabably cuminunicating with the Agent Vic-
tualler's Stores, endangered the whole towu, there
being, as we learn, near 300 caulks of spirits ou the
)refuses.
Too much pr..ise cannot he &ten to the men
from His Majesty's ship Bombay, and the soldiers
belonging to the garrison, for their exertions in stop-
ping the progress of the fire.
The damages sustained by the above accident
are estimated at 90,000 Spanish dollars. Fortu-
nately no lives were lost.

" The Yorkshire speculators wish themselves at
home, as woollen goods are a complete drug ; the
custom-house is quite ful, and none of the convoy
ships au Busload, until new warehouses are pre-
pared. •
" I hare been much disappointed in this place—l
expected to have found something now, in the
manner and apusearance of a South American town,
but it is altogether Lisbon—the same kind of
houses--the appearance of the people exactly
sioiiar; the only difference is the number of black
slaves.
" The situation of the place is delightful, and the
country around romantic and grand to an extreme.
" All the English keep shops and sil2. by retail;
the market is completely glutted, except for mus-
lin,: the Brat cargo of that commodity which ar-
rives, will sell to a large profit. Unless the Go-
eminent establish a Porto Franco, or allow vessels
from the river La Plata to cutter, half the Ene
fish will be obliged to return home.
" Houses are hard to be got, and those that can
be obtained, hardly deserve the Mille, which we
pay Most extravagantly for.
"The town is beautifully situated, and the streets
a►e equal to any in Libliou, with the exception of
the Rua Augusta, and the other new streets; hut
the interior of the houses are little better limn hare
walls, and in general are more forlorn than in the
large towns in the interior of Portugal."

NAPLES. SEPT. qt.
The Queen arrived this morning at Rome. She
will be in Naples the day after to-morrow. The
King seldom goes nut, and receives very little com-
pany. He is continually shut up with his Minister,
and trcamines himself into the most minute details
and management of his kingdom. Whenever he
thews himself, he is followed by the benedictions
of the people, who give unequivocal proofs of the
love they bear bias. Ilis Majesty's great reputation
preceded him. His entry into Naples affordeti a
coop d'iril moat magnificent, and had something
noble and imposing in it. His amiable manners,
and the first acts of his Government, have contri-
buted to conciliate all hearts towards him. His
Majesty wishing to recompense the brave men
who repulsed the English on the sea coast near
the tower of Milittn, has granted to each of them
a gratification of 25 cheats. The auxiliary Bess
dame, Stoico, has received, in addition, a fusil of
the Royal fabric at Della Tone dell Annunzeati.
The satisfactory reports which have reached Nis-
plea respecting the perfect tranquillity that reigns
in the capital, have deterntiised His Msjesty to
suppress the military commissions which inifor-
titularly eilcurostances had rendered neceksary at
Gaeta, Aguilii, (.Ineri, Avelino, Fliggio, Barre,
Callinear°, and Itiwio. Tiiis nets trait of ge-
nerosity 011 the par► of the King, bait inspired

the t confidence. Every thing leads us to
hopfr Nothing will henceforward trouble the
peace and good harmony which exist in all the
provinces, as well as in the capital.

BANKS OF THE SLIM OCT. 41.
In the Oldenburg country some letters for Eng-
land have been intercepted by the French and
Dutch authorities, and as lately some papers con-
taining interesting details from Spain and England
have been circulated, the French af,e!:ts redouble
their vigilance to prevent the truth from transpir-
ing, from which it is with great reason inferred by
many, that the Spanish. concerns must be despe-
rate. The Danes gave no credit to the glorious
accounts lately sent by the English, in u boat,
to Denmark ; the papers that were found on
board the vessel were immediately destroyed by
order of Government : thus the Continent remains
in the profoundest ignorance of the events that
ought by no means to be concealed from the pub-
lic. It would be of infinite service if some Eng-
lish literary men► would write a short chronicle of
all public events of historical importance, which
have happened since the rising of the Spanish pa-
triots, and to endeavour to get such a work, with
the notes and dates of their official authorities, cir-
calated in the French, German, English, and
Italian languages, wherever it is practicable on the
Continent, in order to deliver the nations from
the total dirkiress which France keeps every where
sprea:ling over them.
It is further circulated, that a British army has
defeated the army of Italy and Naples its Calabria,
and is on its march against Naples. Respecting
the ultimate result cf the Congress at Erfurt, not
a syllable has been imaie public.

Last Sunday, u cpurier arrived here from
Constantinople„ with the intelligence of the pas-
sage of a Bntish Bert through the Dardanelles, and

liberate with them upon the means of avoiding the
dangers that threaten the dominions of the Yorte.

ful near Damascus.

Mr. Stu', the King's Messenger, who carried
the Answer of our Government to the Propositions
lately received from Erfurth, arrivi ti on 'f liursdn-
v.,„in, at Deal. iii a Flag of Truce, from Bou-

csimple set by our Ministers, is, we under-
st,wl, the bearer of the Answer to the dismitches
seat by Mr. Sit Aw.—Alr. SHAW was treated with
Ttli attention and politeness, not only at Paris,
but on his journey to and from it. As we ventured
to mijectsire, BONAPALITE would not be arrested
for a moment in his career against Spain, by a Sic-
guristion with England. Ile left Itambottillet on
thegeli, it is supposed fur Bay own'. before Mr.
Slaw could possibly have reached Paris, having
hurled at Calais only on the preceding noon. The
nature of the reply of the French Government has
notlmmspired. Mr. Si AW arrived at six ti plod:.

that the Emperor Atax►Knra was expected at
Rigs ou the 10th, from Erfurth, loach.d with
trinkets end toys. presented by BON APARTL—fit
efts for a girl or a boy.

We have received Hamburgh and Mona Papers,
from which we have made some extracts. The
Members of the Junta lately assembled at Erfurth
wear to have divided their time equally between
biiiiness and pleasure ; if, indeed, to them there was
any difference between rehearsing actual tragedies
is the morning, and witnessing, at the opera, ficti-
tious sorrowa at tight. King Wear appears to
hure ascended not only the throne of King Jo-
are, but. to have si.vceetled also to all his
attitudes, and all his eirtres ; and the Neapo-
litans, if the report he true, are a. fickle as
their neighbouring Adriatic sea. The amiable
manners, and the first acts of Mertsr's Govern-
meat, have won all hearts, and charmed all eyes ;
and their old King dissent, whose transit to Simla'
had titrown them into despair, .c no more thought
of than if he had never been. It is amprising that
Meaty should place any value upon Lie atiections
of s people so fickle and ungrateful. Give them
hut an opportunity, either by death, or any other
occurrence, that may happily deprive them of the
presence of Moaxr, and they will hail his sneers
tor with more joy then they even manifested upon
his usurpation of the throne of the Two Sicilies.
Let their legitiosetasSeworeign be restored, and we

pledge ourselves the wallows which they have suf-
fered under the mitaions and myrmidons of BONA.
TAITII, will be forgotten in the ittlne,r of joy that
will resound through the kingdom.

Notwithstanding the menaces of crowning Jo-
nes at Madrid, and of replanting his Eagles on
the walls of Lisbon, contained in BONIPARTF.'S
Address to tae Legislative Body ; men.eea whit li
oar ham ledge of the Tyrant, and our recollection
of hi. past exploits, render sufficiently ;
we nevertheless venture to repeat oar opinion, ou
the most inatunt consideration, that he null meet
with insuperable obstacles to the accomplishment
of his ferocious purpose. Those who know locally,
and can by each knowledge best appreciate the na-
ture of the enterprize, sec in it no analogy to the
attack of the Austrian or the. Prussian States. No
mountains opposed his advance towards Vienna or
Berlin. The countries themselves had neither
been previou4y desolated by war, nor devietterl by
armies. The dominions of the House of Brandeis-
twill had oat seen an invader, nor heard the re-
port of a cannon, daring near half a century before
the battle of Auerstadt. Austria and Moravia
bad enjoy ell a similar exemption from all ravage or
contribution. Between the Vistula and the Nie-
men, where BONAPAILTB passed near six months,
he carried on his operations in the most fertile
tract of country which can be pointed out in Eu-

r"Pe. •hounding in all the means of subsistence
for his forces ; while Poland, Pomerania, and
Brandenbitrah, furnished him amply with forage,
and provisions. The winter even was pro-
Potions, mild and opeie--a circumstance of which
he took care to inform us, in more than one of
those triumphant bulletins, which then issued with
Periodical accuracy from his head-quarter.; but
which means of information are only scantily af-
forded us now, either by N•t'oLgon or by Jo-
wls.

If it be possible to furnish a contrast to this pic-
ture, it is presented by those provinces of the Spa-
nish Monarchy, in which all the military movements
are to he performed ; and where, we ertY say, the
destiny of the country is about to be decided. The
isthmus conducting hits the peninsula itself, ex-
tending from sea to sea, is scarcely 240 miles in
breadth, covered with a range of immense moun-
tains, through which only three practicable roads
are formed. Ereu these, din i:ig all the months.

peace, are frequently compelled to import the

from the want of provisions, than from any other
eireurnstance. How BONAPARTE is to establkh

tnaguzines cdequate to the supply of 120,000 nu Ai,
in countries which have been already occupied and
plundered by contending armies, during many
months, is difficult to conceive, eves' foe him who
has executed so nanny things regarded as impos-
sible. Desertion, which was scarcely experieuced
in his armies during the two rapid and victorious
campaigns of 140th, and the following year, oill
thin his ranks in 1808 and i etf3. lisvitzers and
Italians+, in pal ticular, us well as Poles, who were
rendered the instruments of his ambition iu Ger-
many, cannot be trusted in Steno. We know that
these foreign and reluctant auxiliaries, dragged
from their native mountaiiis or forests, and emit to
tight the battles of a tierce usurper, go over in
is hole and platoons tattle enemy, carrying with
tiwm frequently their urins, horsee,or accoutrements.
The English, who were precluded from taking
any sha'e, either by land or sea, in the concerris tiC
Prussia er of Austria, have already acted a conspi-
cuous part in Portugal, and may perform tint less
distinguished services in Spain. We mean to speak
of military service. But the naval forte and exer-
tions of Gtcat Britain may likewise co-operate to
• the expulsion, or to tie injury and annoyance of
the invader. 11 alniuld permanently re-
main in the ha;,ds of the Patriot's, our ships may

Lord CO:AMAX& an i othnr naval oflitera hove, as
we see, been able to of •d most proinpt, as well

Commanders, not cnnzeat with driving the French
from the coast of C talonia, in various iwitenves,
have even spread a;ario along the whole maritime
tract, extendile: from Perpignan tothe mouths of the
Rhone. They .nave repeatedly lauded, dem royed
tier towers elected on the beach, and, for the first
time, iv, la,iieve, since the commencement of the
present war, have brought some portion of those
calamities home to the French thernaelves, which
their T) rant and Oppressor wantonly shower's on
al; the surrounding States,.

Nor are these all the obstacles, hitherto unex-
perienced or urffelt by BONAPAIITIF, which he mast
prepare to meet and to vanquish in Spain. The
morel resistance will be nut less pertinacious than
the physical. We have frequently pointed out,the
wide difference between a people, and a (Intern-
ment, a nation, and a Cabinet. as►gsgpl in a war.
lie has already severely felt the tbssitnikr nature
of the two contests. In Catalonia he has to eon-

tend with a tierce and hardy race of mountaineers,
habituated to a life of plunder, sitiesisting by the
violation of the commercial laws of the ancient Go-
vernment, and whu have repeatedly defeated his
veteran troops. Duntastt, though Master of Ft-
gneras and of Montjuy, has 'sever beau able, by
storm or by corruption, to ggsiu possession of Ge-
rona, which, lying in the direct road between those
two fortresses, opposes insuperable impeditnents to
any joint operation of the French Commanders.—
Et en up to the last days of September, we see that
the Catalans had no cavalry, and scarcely any ic-
gular ,oldiers. Vie tru,t *het they will soon re-
ceive supplies or both kind. Above all, it is the
complete separation of die French armies in Spain,
by the iotarposition of the kingdom of Arragon,
which must distress BOIII.PARTR. In Prussia,
from Dautzic, round by the coarse of the Vistula,
through Thorn and Warsaw, to Bialystoek, on the
frontiers of Lithuania, NsvotKost's army forvied
a crescent, in 1807, communicating, and mutually
sustaining all the respective !worts throughout that
extended line. In Spain lie most carry on two
distinct cud separate campaigns; the itsspectve
cops serving in winch cannot even hold any intel-
ligence with each other, except by the circuitous
route of France. Such are som.'or the iillirodties
with which the Corsican has to contend in the pro-
secution of the flagitious euterptize which he has
undertaken.

The communication to the Lexislative Body, af-
ter BONAPARTS return from Erfurth to Paris,
we understand, consisted or a Missage from BON A..
PAWL'S himself, and of all of the ester-
nal and internal sitnation of France, from the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs. Of the runner of these
documents, as far as it rela'ea to the overtures made
to this country, we gave a short accodut.yesterday.
