SEPTEMBER H.

have been received hero from the latter plaers;wbki; misie men-
tion of a conspiracy which had been discovered there ; the ob
ject is said to have been entirely in favour ofthe enemy, and to
means to be employed truly diabolical. A certain Marquis,
who had since been arrested, was at the head of it. The se.
amours on this subject are, however, various and contradictory.
From Priestu Santo Maria, we leans, that Dupont and his
thaffarrived there on the 14th instant, in order to embark for
'lllmace. During the embarkation of the baggage, which the
populace beheld with the utmost indignation, one of the pack-
ages burst open, and part of the sacramental plate fell through:
it was them no onger possible to restrain the fury and rage or
the people, who immediately rushed upon, seized and tote away
the whole. Dupont has since had the insolence to write to Deis
James Morla, the Governor of Cadiz, to demand restoration of
what he and his troops had themselves stolen from the Spaniards.
It is reported that the English Admiral has *Rued to suffer
the French troops to return by sea.
GIJON, Ann. 30.
On the 27th arrived here, under convoy of the Albion sloop at
war, the brig Patty, having cn board 500 Ct stand of arms,
700,000 cartridges, and one million of musket-balls, for the use
of the Patriots; and on the same day the Iris, Capt. Mushy,
arrived from of Bilboa, convoying a transport laden with stores,
and intended to have been landed there, if the enemy had not
been in possession of the City. Major Roche came in the his.
FROM THE MADRID GAZETTE, OF AUGUST 23.
General Dupont having written to Don Tomas de Morla,
pressing an immediate embarkation of the troops that had stir-
rendered, under his command, received an answer from him,
which is inserted in that Paper, and in-which the Goveruos ob-
serves, that neither the capitulation, nor the approbation of
the Junta, nor even an express order rourthe King, could make
that possible which is not possible.
" There are net," adds be, " transports, nor any means of
obtaining them, for the conveyance of your troops. What cur
be a greater proof of this, than that we retain your troops here
at a great expense, Instead of removing them to another coun-
try.
" General Castanos. when he promised to obtain a passport
from the English for the passage of your army, could only en-
gage to solicit one with earnestness, as he has done. But how
can your Excellency suppose that the British ships would suffer
your troops to pass, certain that they were going to make war
on their nation in some other place.
" I cannot persuade myself that either General Castaaos or
your Excellency would believe that such a Capitulation could
be carried into effect.
The object of your Excellency mast have been to obtain con-
ditions which, though impossible, might do honour to your sur-
render. We must, however, submit to the imperious law of ne-
cessity.

Yesterday evening a Portuguese Yacht arrived in this Port
from Figuera, commanded by lacinio Pereira Borsa, to six

the English troops, an opportunity to land, and who, combining
their operations with the British army is the neighbourhood,
together with the revolt of the E wiss in the French army, CCM..
tribated to the surrender of the place.—(Corstana Gazette).
GOTTENBURGIT, Ava. 26.
The Russian Fleet were spoken with in the Baltic by an
American, as late as the 12th inst. They were steering to the
Northward, and had springs upon their cables for the purpose
of anchoring among the rocks, to attack the gwedes. It is re-
ported that both Sir J. Saumarez and Sir S. Hood are gone after
them; and as they had early notice of their being at sea, it is to
be hoped a good account will he given of them they consist of
nine Sail of the Line, two of which are ships of 110 and 112
guns, and eight Frigates, besides smaller Vessels.
A Foreigner of distinction has very lately arrived at Stock-
holm, from St. Petersburgh, and it is said brought the imporl-
ant intelligence that a marked dislike to the French army bas
lately maaifested itself in Russian Poland, and that an insurrec-
tion had taken place; but wt have no particular. 1 auPP"3e
