TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1;03.

The- intelligence which has been received from
Sicily affords strong ground to hope that we shall
shortly hetar-of the British Arms being as viaorious
it-..1121y as they have recently been in Portugal. Sir
3. STE‘V,IaT, the ;len) of Maida; was making pre-
parations for effeaing a landing in Calabria, the
Fr‹nch troops in the Neapolitan dotninions having
bon considerably diminished. The glorious success
which has attended the .etiorts of the Spaniards to
assert tL it Independence, has produced a strong
semsation in 'telly. ,Nothing but the immense mili-
tary-force. BUONArARTE has hitherto main-
tai:teci irl that Country, has kept the Inhabitants
frog) endeaVouring to rescue themselves from the
intolerable oppression of the French. An oppor-
tunity, equally favourable and unexpected, now pre-
sents to them, and we are persuaded they will
not neglect it. A very large proportion of the French
troco that were in Italy have been withdrawn, for
the purpose of being .enaploye.'d against 'Spain ; the
remainder are spread in small divisions over an im-
mense Ira& of country; and if they *shotild, be at -
tadked, SUONAPAtiqIr. has not now the means of
reinforcing them. The tritish force in Sicily
is
cCrJsidciable, and there is every reason •to believe
iirit it will speedily be greatly au=gmented. The
British army in Portugal, which now consists of up-
wlirds '0130,00Q men, is (by' the surrende); of .TtY-
NY)T, Which we have no doubt has taken place before
this time) at liberty to be employed either in Spain
or in Italy,- as clrcuMstances :nay require. Such has
w?en the success Of. the Spaniards, that they seem

barflly to requia; 'the assistance of auxiliaries to
dive tiro Fk-,:tne4 from their territories, especially as
their armies will shortly be reinforced by the 10,000
.NT;,t nail; who have been so fortunately delivered from
the French yoke in the North of Europe. It seems,
tneraore, inore probable that ocit.army at present in
Portugal, or at least a very large part of it, will be
eiripl6yeir in. 1,1 y,. Another Expedition will very
sl4.ortiv salt trod) tbis.Copntry, consisting of aboye
;2,000 men, whicli will giVe us a disposable force
qpiA,m4k of 40,0c2 meLi, exclusive of the troops
rte Sicily, to be employed either in Spain or Sicily.

WE have received Barbadoes Papers to the 19th
it. They contain an account of a mcst gallant but
uns:;ccess‘fut attack upon the Island of St. Martin.
We had Upon this occasion between `ro .and 30 men
