The Session of the Legislative Body, fur the
year 1810, nes opened on the Ist, by the Coun-
cillor of State, M. Treilhard ; aod, conformahly to
&communication from him on the part of His Ma-
jesty the Emperor, the Count de Montesquieu took
his seat as !'resident.

A letter from Naples, of the 17th ult. was, that
the cargoe, of the American vessels condemned
there had fetched a very high price. The coffee
weld tora silver ducat per pound. The proceeds
of the a hole were calculated, at least, at five mil..
lion, of ducats.

From various remarks in the .Ilositeur, on the
Sperchestlelivertd iu tiro House of Lords, the first
riry of the Serwiroo. we %elect the following:—
Lord HAZROWWV—" it wet resulted to deoroy the
szoitssi and morose, to deprive our twyst itupireable enemy
of the mold powerful mesas • Inch be had of injuring us.
From unforeseen creole Lad difficulties, this abject has lot
bees completely attained; but it has been attained to en ex-
tent sufficient to frustrate an the plans 'Amuck which he
eunW continue from that quarter."

Nataileire--" This Lord confides greatly in the cre-
dulity of Psrliament. Since has belonged

bell expended there, in the construction of a half.
moon battery ; nothing has kern expended on the
basin. It is at Antwerp, that, for the List four
years, tl.ere have been expended six millions upon
the fortifications and ba.in, and sixty tailbone for
arsenals, building-yards,' and other objects in the
marine department. Tile English are at this mo.
anent farther from their object than at the coin-
utencrmrat of the expedition. Before their expe-
Wileheren, Batz, Breda, and Bergen-op.
Zoom, belonged to Hollawl ; now Walcheren,
Bats, Breda, and Bergen-up-Zoom, are united to
France; for every territory bordering on France,
landed on by the English, and unable to defend
itself, shall be united to the Empire. Hence,
whenever the Eliglish wish to sign the act of incor-
poration with France, of any contiguous territory,
they have only to niche a lending there, to establivh
a correspondence. end to procure for themselves the
sort of welcome reception which they experienced
in Middleburgh soil South Dewclaw'. The result
of the Expedition of the English against the isle of
Walcheren, has been the annexation of the right
bank of the Scheldt to France; and surely nobody
will venture to say that this ameliorates the situa.
tine of England."
Lord N•aaewar,—e It was supposed that the enter.
prise would uuly ►e a erep-ir-iisein, and that it would be
completely terminated before t►e return of the contagious

Estranadors, aod, is a great inessare, of La Haticbs. To
this expedition is also to be ascribed tha deliveraacs of Gali-
cia, and the squadron in Ferrol. de."

ivenioraw.—as To say that the expedition to
Portugal prevented the ne tipstion of Lisbon,
would be correct ; but to say tl.nt it had any influ-
ence ea the affairs of Spain, is false. Besides, in
the general situation of military affairs, in the year
1809, it could not be for the advantage of the
French to occupy Lisbon. It was advantageous to
them that the English should have that po;ut to
defend, which employed a great number of troops.
There remained is Spain is French army so formi-
dable, and the Spanish troops are of so little con-
sialeration in a pitched battle, that, had the Wats
cheren Expedition loaded in Spain. the English
would, nevertheless, have bi en beaten and driven
out of it."

LON DON,
MONDAY, I. :11.111RIJARY 19.

Five Gottenburgh Mails arrived yesterday. but
they bring uo news of suy issportance.—The terns
of the treaty of peace between France and Sweden
have been usade known. and will be found in our
extracts frous the Swedish Papers.

We have received FriaCis Papers to the Nth, aad
Dutch to the IStl► iostat►t. It was reported, at
thittud, that BON•rourre had left Paris for Spain,
ou the tOtli. but we do not believe it. The uew
Bride is trot yet declared.

The Lily, Captain Simmer, the arrival of which
we mentiossed last week at Portsmouth, from Ca-
diz, had brought dispatches to the latter place from
Vera Cruz. We have already given the substance
of the dispatches brought by her frutu Cadiat, in
the care of Capt, SIRIUS? and the Hon. Mr. l'ow.
loner ; but in a matter of so much interest and
importance, our readers may be gratified by the
following more detailed account :—ACcordiogtq
these dispatches, the French having beta wasted,
to pass t►e Skip Morena, without any oppositiook.
Cordon and Seville soon fell into their hands; and
when Capt. Sump, left Cadiz, they were daily est
peeled Wire that place. The inhabitauts of that
city were well disposed to defend themselves to the
last extremity; but the want of provisions will ►en.
derit impossible for them to resist for any length of
time. There are not more than 9,000 troops of the
line at Cadiz. Precautions have been taken for the
security of the Spanish fleet, which consists of IS
sail of the line ; it has been moored outside the Bri-
tish squadron. All the merchant weasels at Cadiz
have been put in requisition to briug away the differ-
cut members of Government, and such of the inlet-
bitauts as may choose rather to leave their country
than to submit to the tyranny and rapacity of the
French. The sudden and unexpected irruption of
the French into Andalusir. has excited considerable
&term and confusion. No wooer was it krone that
the Junta had fled from Seville, than the people
took up arms, and having set at liberty the Conde

ofSetille, demauding the immediate appointateaa of
a Regency, and exclaiming against the Supetme
Junta, as traitors to their country, who hadaiban-
doned the plisses of the mountains to the French,
and them fled to Cadiz with the money which pity
had received from America. At Xeres de ht Esau-
tent; the Archbishop of Laoutcsa, President' of
the Junta; VALutz, formerly Minister of Matisse;
■nd OVALLI, one of the Deputies of 'Estremadure,
were seized by the populace, sod would probably
have been put to death, had not some persons, who
had influence with the populace, got theta shut tip
in the Carthusian convent, and detained them.
there as prisoners of state. On the nevus of these
excesses, Geueral CASTANIII, who was at the Isla
de Lou, tactiii himself to obtaio their liberation,
and had them conveyed in safely to the Isla ; but
as they felt that their authority was now complete-
ly at au end, no sootier hod they assembled at
that place, with the other member,, of the Junta,
than they appointed a Regency, composed of the
Bishop of Oaten; of flAllfltOnA. Minister of Fi-
nance; of Canaan, Captain-General of A ndalu-
sn ; of EWAN°, Minister of Marine; and FORS AS-
DER Dg LEON, Minister of the Indies; and transferred
to these five persons the:government of the country.
This appointment took place on the 19th of .1:411{14..
ry. The French are in the mean time advancing
without opposition. Part of the Spanish army is
collected at Ronda, and part at Grenada; but es
soon as the French shell advance to Perez and Port'
St. Mary's, the communication of Cadiz with the
rest of the country will he entirely cut off, except
by sea. A reinforcement of British grnor, loom
Gibraltar was expected to mishit at the defence of
Cadiz, and many thousan.l persons weir at work
iu completing the fortifications on the Kumla'',
which had been left uutioislied.

We understand, it or in consequence of the above
information, that several line-of-battle ships are or-
dered to be got ready, at Portsmonth. for sea imme-
diately. They are to proceed to Cadiz, to ontedurt
the Spanish ships on a safe place el retreat. Admi-
ral Pit KMOnt was expected at Porisinouth, yester-
day, to hoist Ins fag, it is believed, on Inoaril the
Sea Joseph, 110 /um, Capt. Dunn. The Cale-
donia, 110, Capt. Elsoroan, and theOriss, 74, Sir
Am.& Ditaaon, are amlng the ships ordered. A
