OCT. 8.--.11111 Moniteur of yesterday contains- se-
veral official docutnetits' relative to the Convutition
concluded between the Cottmlanders in Chief,of the
English and French armies in Portugal, according to.
witich the, latter, are to-.evacuate that lcingdom.—.4
Theie official documents are introduced by the ail-
lowing.obgervations ;

AccOrdind to. the papers received from. London,
there is, reason to think that shortly after the battle
of Vimiera, a fresh Expedition from England land-
ed, in Portugal; and.that the Uuke Of ABEANTEIii
notwithstanding the. advantage he had obtained, did
not think himself in a.condition to provide for t!:e
defence of the country, and to dispose of the .Eng.
lish. He thereforeTreferred entering into A Con-
vention, rather than to occupy his entrenched camp
and the forts of Lisbon, and to expose to destruthon
that lac city,, w4ll the good dispwitim of which ht

s.;11 had reason to be satisfied. The Duke may have .
2!.,0 been induced to take this step, by the uncer-
tainty he was• in respe&ing the measures taken in
France, and whether the period when he might re-
ceive a reinforcement was remote or near at hand.
It Na.urred to him that his best course was to carry
back his corps of troops to France, to form the rear-
guard of the Grand Army in. Spain, and some time'--
after to return into Portugal itself, which he now
evacuates. The facility, with which the English
could supply their army with provisions, and recruit
them with fresh troops, Is an additional reason for
thinking that the step taken by the Duke of
ABRANTES was that which prudence most strongly
dictated."

[Here follows a C-py of the London Gazette Extraordi-
nary of the 16th of September,]

Since the re-taking of Bilboa, nothing of any im-
portance has occurred in Spain. Upon the approach
of the French, General BLAKE precipitately evacuat-
ed that city ; this he was induced to do the more
speedily, 'in consequence of learning that whilst Mar-
shal NEY was marching with his troops agz.,inst Bil-
boa by way of Durango, General MOUTON was ad-
vancing with his division to Balmaseda to fall upon
his rear. It is confidently expected that our army
in Spain will Maintain its present position, until the
arrival of the different corps of the Grand Army,
now on their march ; but, with the utmost possible
expedition on the part of the troops, that cannot
take place before the beginning of November.
Our advices from Erfurth come down to the 3d of
06tober. The two Emperors pass a great part of the
day v)gether, and in the evening attend the Theatre.
PARIS, OCT. 9.-According to advices from
Bayonne, of the 4th, since the flight of the Spaniards
from Bilboa the columns of the insurgents precipi-
tately retreat the instant they perceive the French
ready to attack them.
Marshal Ntv has from 10,000 to 11,000 men in
Bilhoa and the environs. They observe the striaest
di,cipliue; and several of the inhabitants, who went
off with' the: iniprgent, have returned in conse-
quence of a proclamation from, the MiLrshal.
Letters from Vittoria, of-the.2d inst. state,, that
the French General MERLE had .taken possession of
St. Andero. The King was still .at Vittoria with his
Ministers, and the advanced posts of the centre ex-
tended as far as Bribiesca.

passed through for the interior of Germany.

LONDON,

MONPAY, •OCTOBULI 31, 1808.

Mr. SHAWE, the Messenger, reached Dover on
Saturday morning with Dispatches for Messrs. CHA
PAGNY and RONIANZOW. 1-He embarked about one
o'clock for Calais. He was received with great
civility, and permission was immediately given him
tr, proceed to Paris. The Commandant at Calais told
the Master of the Vessel that took Mr. SHAWE over,
that if he should come there again on a similar occa-
tion, and it should be rough weather, that he need,
not send ashore for permission to land, but might
sail direetly into the Harbour.

The Dispatch Packet is arrived at Falmouth with
Mails from Corunna, which she left on the 26th
instant; the Letters will not be delivered till to-

morrow.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 14th inst.
which contain Paris news to the gth. The Moniteur
has acknowledged the evacuation of Portugal by the
French Troops, and has with great adroitness taken
advantage of the clamour which has been raised in
this country upon that seb;c6t, to reconcile the peo,
pie of France to the measure. The very little infor-
mation which these Papers give, respecting the af-
fairs'of Spain, is of a very satisfa6tory natbre. It is
acknowledged that the reinforcements which have
been ordered to march from different parts of France
towards Spain, cannot reach their destination before
the beginning of next month, and we are no longer
told of the entire subjugation of Spain, and the pu-
nishment of the Rebels : it now is a matter of boast
that the French are able to maintain their position.
The news from Erfurth, in these Papers, comes
down to 66 2d inst.;—ALEXANDER and BUONA-,
PARTE divide' their days between business and plea-
sure. The eirenings they almost constantly devote
to the Theatre; 4ttended by the Kings of SAXONI4
BAVARIA, WRSTPLIALIA, and WIRTEMBURGII• The
Grand Duke Cotstiii,wrtits has been too much in-
disposed since his arrival at Erfurth to join in
the pneral festivities. If it be true that he at-
tended his brother to .14trfurth with great reluc-
tance, it is by no means' impossible that his indis-
position is merely political. Although the Emperor
of At.israt4 did not think it expedient to attend this
meeting, he sent General iiiitcENT there, probably

for the ptrpose of giving explanations respeaing
the extraordinary levy of troops in the Austrian
Dominions. •

WE are happy to have it in our power to lay be--
fore our Readers the Proclamation addressed by Ge-
neral ROMANA to his troops. It is a most animated
produEtion, and pays a just tribute to the exer-
tions made by this Country for their deliverance.
Some more Spanish Papers, to the 26th inst. have
reached town, but the news they bring is not very
important. A slight disturbance has happened at
Madrid, in consequence of the rashness and insolence
of some Frenchmen, who drank JOSEPH BuoNA-
PARTE'S health in a coffee-house, for which they
were immediately► put to death by the persons pre-
sent, and their bodies thrown into the street. The
mob that assembled upon the occasion went to the
Russian Minister's house, to demand some French-
men who were said to have taken refuge there. The
disturbance, however, was suppressed by the exer-
tions of the Government. Sir DAVID BAIRD% Army
Was to proceed, by divisions, to join the Army of
General BLAKE.

IT has been stated in some of the Public. Papers
that the Dulig of.CLAfustslcs is about to hoist his
Flag on board the BaOeur, but we have reason to
believe that there is -no' foundation whatever for the
report.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, PrincesseSAU-
AMELIA, and §OPHIA; accompanied by ,Earl.
\VINCHILSEA, Lads CRANBY, the HOll. MISS FINCH,
and Geheial FITZIIOY, rode to St. George's Chapel,

On Saturday Mr. fIAsE, of the Bank of England,
gave notice to the Stock Exchange that the Com-
missioners fortpurchasing Stock for the re:!emption
of the National D. bt wou►d in future purchase, on
every transfer day, 352,0001. in the 4 per cent. con-
sols, instead:of buying 3 per cent. consols, as had
usually been the custom. This arrangement pro-
duced an immediate advance in the Funds.

General KELLERMAN, we understand, states, that
if we had not asSented to the terms proposed, Ju-
NOT hod resolved to barn Lisbon to ashes, as well
as all the Ships in the Tagus, and then to have
passed over to Fort Elves, which he would strongly
have fiftitied, and in which he could lu:e held out
for nine months against an army of 60,000 men.—
Such a determination is exaCtly.consownt with the
ferocious and desperate chara&er of RINOT, and
wouldprobably have been attempted.

At present, when so little is suffered to transpire
respetting the internal state of France, the following
particulars, with which we have been favoured by a
Gentleman who left Paris about the time of ROGNA•
kARTE'S departure for Erfurth, will, we have no
doubt, be acceptable to our Readers.
" France," he says, " may be considered at the
present r00,,114§14 either as nn the eve of a great crisis,
or as likely to reruain for a long time in the state of
terror, slavery, and misfortune into which it it sunk.

of terminating in an ninon of views, was produ&ive
of a difference of opinion, a,s many were led to pre-
sume would be the case, from the known and pro-
nounced disposition of the Emperor of RUSSIA for
peace, Buta;iAPARTI would thus be deprived of his
chief support. But if, on the other hand, they
should agree to carry the war into the Levant, no-
thing but a prolongation of the present syatem was
expected.
" The great mass of the people suffer, complain,
and talk of peace, but their murmurs, and the ex-
pressions of their wishes are no soonet 01,ered, than
stifled by a multitude of G:ovrutilett, A,.;enis some-
times by threats, and at other tunes by Molding out
to them the flattering hopes of a speedy return of
prosperity and happiness. Tile affairs of Spain, have
produced a lively sensation, partn..'ularly upon the
mind of the soldier, who, fatigued with the war,' *lli
anxious for repose.
" There have been serious disturbances in the
countries adjoining to tiie Pyrenees, occasioned by
the information which it has b impossible to ex-
clude, of th..: ree ut events in Spain. These dis•
turbances, however, were sveedtly suppressed, and
it was known only to a eery few iniiNiduals in the
capital that ever thec existed, Rewards and pr. -
wises have twen lavished upon the Officers; and, in
ki kw instances, where a spirit of mutiny and disobe-
dience has mat ifestel itself, exemplary punishments
haire ben indicted, which have prevented it from
spreading.
''The army is encouraged with the hopes of new
conquest, where they will find more plunder. They
no longer talk of English guineas, as they did at
Boulogne, but of the treasures of the Seraglio of the
Grand Signior. Pillage and promotion are two pow-
erful incentives for the army, and its Chief knowing
its weak side, disposes of it as he pleases.
" Commerce is every where completely extinEt.
The great proportion of the manufactures being en-
tirely at a stand, and the workmen have no alterna-
tive but to die of hunger or enter into the army,
where they have food and clothing. The sea-ports
are deserted, particularly since the Embargo laid
upon the American vessels; and the seamen former-
ly employed in navigating the merchantmen are
compelled to seek subsistence on board the ships of
war.

" The monied men having no means of employ-
ing their capitals, repair to Paris, and solicit places,
and the existing Government thus derives energy
from that ambition which causes the ruin of States,
and the misery consequent upon it.
As to the public finances, it is quite impossible
to penetrate the mystery in which they are hive-
lopped. The interest of the debt is regularly paid,
and the taxes thakigh most oppressive, and raised
with difficulty, are nevertheless productive.

" The enormous contributions levied upon -the
conquered countries, and the expeuce of maintaining
the army falling almost wholly upon the States
which it has subjugated, are circumstances which
have contributed nut a little to the improvement of
the revenue."
