Paris Papers to the 3d instant, given in another
part of our paper, contain Nl4sse.NA's account of
the late actions in the neighbourhood of Almeida.
Milking the necessary allowances for the exalt y. ra-
tions and suppressions to which he might neb-essa-
rily be supposed to have rec3nrse, in order to give
his defeat the colour cf a victory, the report is a to-
lerably faithful narntive of the transactions. It ge-
nerally .ci incides with Lord WEI.4I,NoTo.N's dis-
patches as to the movements of the two armies,
though it differs with respect to their result. i
SEN a acknowledge that the French were frequently
driven out of the important post if Fuent g de Ho-
nor; and ullimately,confesses, but in an incidental
manner, that it remained in our possession.
The French Papers state, that the Spanish Gene-
ral CAMPO VERDE has fai.ed in an endeavour to

throw reinforcements and supplies into • the fort of
Figuerts. The whole of the tter are stated to have
fallen into die hands of the enemy, and the loss of
the Spaniards is represented as enormous. Alt Eng-
lish coNtrin is said to have I ind?d near Rosas dun-.
jog the action ; but to have been kept in died: by
the garrison of that place. This column was most
likely-a few marines ar.d seamen who landed from
our cruizers on that part of the crw-A.

ror FRANCIS, is again noticed in letters received nit
Friday from France. The restoration of FERDI.
NAND to his Throne, it was supposed, would pre-
cede this: union. Improhan,le as this project may
appear, it is not more so than BUONA PART f.'S marri-
age with NIA it IA LOUISA was considered when it
was first mentioned.

We received on Thursday German papers to a
late date. They contain a State paper issued by
the King of the two Sicilies, and signed by his
Minister, the Mii:-quis Circelle, in which his Ma-
jesty observes, that some malevolent persons at
Palermo and Messina have circulated scandalous.
reports of a pretended peace having been made be-
tween him and the French, and asserting that the
conditions are, the restitution of the Kingdom of
Naples, on the part of the French, prcvided the
troops of the latter oeoapy Sicily. These reports
are solemly affirmed io be unfounded, in a deciara-
tion transmitted to Lord Amherst, the British Mi-
nister at the Court of Pale• mo, which contains
protestations. of the unalterable friendship of his
Sicilian .atjesty for Great Britain.
