" On the 23th instant, one of the positions of
the second'Brigade was overpowerecity the Enemy,
and. peotenant Baron. ULSPARRE, of the Chasscurs
of Alpland, killed, with five men of the same corps.
The Corps of Reserve having advanced to repulse
the Enemy, they did not wait the arrival of that
enrps,. hut retreated, which clearly proves their
sole intention to have merely been to alarm our ad-
vanced pops. . •
" The 27th instant. General BouNrraort was
attacked, and a .bombardment commenced against
his magazines and head quarters in Bergerstrom;
but his spirited an►d gallant condo t speedily dis-
concerted the Enemy's plan of attack; he crossed
the river which separated him from the Enemy,
routed them, took a mortar and some ammunition,
made six prisoners, and tesumed his former position.

No official intelligence has yet been received by
Government from our Fleet off Cadiz, but the 'Cap..
fain, of a Privateer, who has arrived At Dartmouth,
states, that on the toth inst. Iv: fell. in With 'a Vic-
tualler returning from Admiral PtlitylS'i Fleet, the
Master' of which
.infOrmed; him, that he left the:
Fleet seven days before ; that at that time •allthe
Transports, with the Troops on board, were anchored
Close in shore, off Cadiz, and that a disembarkatiovn
I:vas expeeted immediately to take'place, The Mas-
ter of the Vielualler alto stated, that he had Dis-
patches on board from
.Admiral PURVIS and General
SPXYCOR, If this acconnt be correct, we may hourly
exp 6 a Official intellikence. • . .

Paris and Dock P:pers reached town in the
cburse of ye.iterday, the former to the Ist and the
latter to the 4th inst. TiVoNAPAnTiE has at length
thought fit to relax in some slight degree the rigid
and absurd commercial regulations taliirh he had
established in Holland. The unfortunate Dutch are
permitted to etpdrt butter; cheese, and geneva,. to
the Ports of Neutral and Allied, Powers ; but great
care is taken to prevent any intercoarse with this
C,:untry. The intelligence from Spain, if it 'deserves
the name of intelligence, is eXatitlY such as we cx.
petled to find in the French and Dutch Papers.
The most 7erfeet tranquillity is stated to reign in
Catalonia, Arragon,Valentia, Grenada, Estretnadurai
and the coast of St. Andero and Castile.; and fli4
time of General .MtntaT is wholly taken up, we are
told, with receiving " congratulations and homage
from the Authorities and Nobles of the Kingdpm 1"
One of the Dutch Papers eontains a ProClamation.
piohibiting in Holland any public stibscrlption for
Loans to Foreign Powers or to ludividuals.
The following Proclamation had. been published in
Spain in the name of the Prince of A.STVRIAs. His
name has probably been used on this oceasion by
some of the Patriotic Nobles,
.for we hardly think
that, in his present state of confinement, be would
venture to issue such a ProclainatiOn,leven if lie had
the means, Which we very much doubt

" NOBLE :kart; t ANS !-I am surrounied on every side,
and a viaim of the most cruel perfidy. You once saved Spain
in worse circumstances. • At present a prisoner, 1 do not ask
of you the Crown ; but int mat of you to form a regular p;ati
.with the- neighbouring Provinces, fcir the repulsion of a to-
reign yoke anti the redeinption of your liberties, by the de-
strudion of the treacherous' foe who deprives of his right
your unfortunate. ",

Another Gottenburgh Mail arrived last night. It
brings no official accounts of the operations io
land, bin private Letters state, that the Russians
have been defeated in two general a..lions, and that
it is supposed they will completely, evacuate Finland
before the end of this month. It is also mentioned,
in some of the Letters brought by this Mail,: that
the Kt gG of I)2NMARK had mak overtures for a,
Ne-
gdtiation, both with Great Britain and Sweden. We
shall by no-means be surPrizedfo find that the Ithay
of DtsN..AtttC has begun
,to discover • the intpUlicy
of thin system be has adopted, or that he should eu..
deavour to extricate himself from that state. of WIS..
salage in which he voluntarily placed himself with
respeli torrance. He has lately had reason to observe
that no services rendered to BUONAYARI 6, no saari..
fices made to promote his interests, make ouy.perma,
nem inipreoion upon his mind, and that he depose,

with equal indifferitice, a friend or cl foe, wheu it
suits his convenience. It the scenes which'aW•now
a6ling in Spain do not awaket, the EmperoriAttsSc-
ANlnii and the King of DEN NIA 11 K. to a sense of their
own situation, they must be in a state of infatuation;
from which nothing can relieve them.

When the Packet sailed with the Mail Colonel
MURRAY had not renehed GottenburgliTand conse-
quently tio movement had taken place on the part of
our Expedition. A Paper of yesterday, after
commenting upon the ina&ivity of' the Expe-
,dition under Sir JOHN Mooaa; 'states, th,st'
'it arose from an offer made .to AdMiral KEATS
'and Sir JoIIN MooitE, by some of the prin-
cipal people in Norway, to withdraw themselves
from all connexion- with Denmark, to open their
ports to the British, and t,CI 'Make peace. with Swe-
den, 'provided Great - Britain would not employ
her 'forces against them, and that, under these cir-
cumstances, the British Commanders had, -written
home for farther instruaions. We are enabled to
state positively that there is no foundation whatever
for the above statement. We have every reason to
believe that the difficulties that did subsist have been
before this time removed.

,THE Chanbel Fleet sailed on Saturday .from. Tor-
bay to resume its /t.itionoff.Brest. It is sinfbd that

of six guns and. 29 men, . and two passengers,
fell in .with a 'Fralich Schooner, of t 0 guns (fcur
of which of large - calibre) and ' upwards of 100
men. We commencedoction, and continued it till
six P.M. The first ten minutes was very warm and
close, within pistol-shot, when his large guns iclid
great exectition'amongst the sails and rigging,
two of my fine fellows and myself were wound"-
ed. In the coqrse, of the first two hours she at.,
"tempted twice to board, but was repulsed with great
slaughter, and the last time, at rive P.M. with
a discharge from great guns and small .she
laid me alongside; but my choice little crew were
Jeady to receive them, and they appeared panic-
struck with the loss of two of their best men at the
helm. When alongside they hauled otf on ouriar-
:boarti beam, and fired a few shot, but without much_
effea, and at six.P. M. ran away to the Northward,
under her square-sail and top gallant-sail, not being.
able to make any sail on her mainmast,, it being very
much wounded.

has occurred to his Majesty's Sloop under my.S,an,
mand since I parted trom,yoli : in .iworking UP tC
the station you had assigned 'ine„ on:the :'9th
perceived nine pretty large, BONS oil the shore
of
the Island of Endelau, and as troops were seen's',
the same time, three liOatS were dispatched Irons the

Stroying,eight out of the nine ; the Danish Soldiers
mad 4 a very poor attempt to defend theni-; at the
Island- of Thunoe six other small craft syere destr°Y•
ed without any resistance : on the ad inst. a larg°
Man of War Schooner attempted to escape troth
Arbures, but after a long and circuitous chace of
ten hours, she was again, forced . into her old port,
. where she still remains with three other armed Ws'
eels. I have likewise to inform you, that the Ea'
my have fortified very strongly the entrance of the
harbour olKyeliolin, in the Island of Satusoe, and
have already fifty pieces of heavy cannon Mytintel:
I learned from one of the prisoners taken in a Small
Market boat; that Vessels were 'expected from Cal-
lundborg with mortars to mount out the 13.ttte6e."
the Boats of the 'Falcon were accordingly in-shores
every night to intercept them, and on the hight of
theith inst. they were so tOrtunate as to discover
the Vessels they were seeking, at an anchor epode
