This morning a Grlttentstirgli Mail arrived ; if
brings an accoutit of sonic; nnitzi.n,r ant mo.venients
of the Russian a-d Swedish armies. Tne only
art ie e ut arty importance which it contains is the
respecting the election of a Successor to
the Swedish Turone:--;

Just tiefoie this Paper wa, put to press we received
Spanish t'upers, to the 4th inst. The rincipal ar-
-title they contain isi a long Letter from General
1.314Ax5, to tneJui-A3, respetleng the Wide at Bel-
chat!, on the 18th nit. in wine!) we are setry tee fin.d
that he speaks of the conduct of his irtay in ie
itrc,agegt terms of censure. The Junta, in conso
quence, ilddressod a very eloquent and energ,tic ap-
Peal to the Spanish Armies. The lohowing Is the
Only other article of any importance in these Papers,
but it is of a very old date : •
" CoItDoVA, JUNE 6.—The vanguard of the army
of Estretnadura, wider the command of the Marquis
BAyAS, attacked the vanguard of VICTOR'S
trloy notwithstanding a march of twelve hours,
iE charged with so much intrepidity, that the
karquis could not restrain the soldiers; they
Penetrated between the enemy's fildt, strL.ved the
field with dead bodies, and ti.e enemies which re-"
tnained took a disgraceful flight."--.(PralenciaGazette,
June SO.) - .

We have this day made some further Extra&s
from the Foreigti Journals which arrived yesterday
The Dcrch Papers acknowledge that there were
some Disturbances at Rotterdati.., in consequence of
the severity with which the Conscription was en-
forced, but it is added, that they were soon suppres-
ted. The other intelligence in these Papers is very
unimportant; King Jtitomg has ptiblishel a Bulle-
tin of tile Achieverneuts of his Army, in whice he
titates that he had obtained some advantages over the
Austrians. It is, however, known that the advan-
tage, in the only action of any importance Ns hich
took place, was on the side of the Austrians. •
An article from Petersburgh, which mentions the
capture of Kola by three Brithit Frigates, adds, that
this is the first attack made by the English upon the
Russian Territory.

It is grateful to be able to observe how surely,
4c'w quickly, and by what regular steps, the pro-
verbial good sense and generous feeling of this Coun-
try al'ways return to their true and natural standard,
rer every temporary wandering or excess, to which
they are exposed by the most sensitive and honour-
le of all national characteristics. Scarce a vestige
klf the Momentary dejection, occasioned by the unac-
countable Armistice of Wagram, is any longer dis-
eraiblts in any other shape than the general de-
rnauti and urgency for new and redonbled arma-
nle4ts, preparations, and etforts, which almost stun
be ears of Government, from every part of the Em-
Pire, although they are but the echos of their own
co44cliss deliberations, and designs. We trust, we
'lrrnlY believe, the vows of the Nation have been
ctnticipated by the ready and prepared Councils of
State equal to the occasion, and which can only be
"`'corded by the zeal, deviation) and patriotism of the

Such have been the achievements, the glorious
accesses, the constancy, and unconquerable spirit
c'f. the Austrian Armies, that it seenai to be generally
sett and acknowledged that their impression and ef-
€t Cannot be effaced and extinguished, even by an
01 wise and inglotious pacification. The events of
e Way
belong to &Irope, to the world, to recof-
!e
coaclusi,m will Le judged the error,
I:ie weakness, or the. unjust trepidation of infirm,
bat amiable, Councils. It seems to be fixed and ri-
4tted in public opinion, that same,thing has been
gaited ; that a breach has been effe6ted in the invin-
`l6ii4y of BUONAPARTE ; that some moral fortresses
and points-d'-appui and totes-de-pout have been ob-
tilicri in exchange for Bruhn, for Gratz, and for
‘Sach.s.s•e burg

It is a p:oof of elevation or resuscitation of public
spirit, that no one will believe the Austrian Armies
t 0 have been subdued and dispirited; and that.(how-
ever unjustly it may turn out), the whole fault and
blame is generally and spontancouslyrejeaed upon the
eibk)et and Ministers. It is asked, why do we not
expostulate upon this point, and represent upon, the

ogler 9 wliy we do not here reproach, and re.
Monatrate there? as if we could Conterriplate the
ivhole of the Campaign upon the Danube, with-
out ,SatiSfaciion-.--as if we were to adinit that
nothing had been accomplished, becaUse some
of otir combinations, which we formed upon
their heroic achievementS in the field, have perhaps
be ,n overturned by their own calculations in the

Cabinet. This is our precise and happy situa-
tion; that if our Allies have aded wisely fOr them-
selves, they have fulfilled every view, every wish,

every interest, we could ever feel or take in
their Councils ; and it they have in any shape
mistaken their own interests, or been wanting to
their own honour or security, in God':" name, let us
recal them by friendly and generous forbearance and
advice, and screw them a confident security, in the
redoubled energy of our own exertions--in the in-
cre'ased display of our strength, activity, and re-
sources—in the succours we more liberally dispense—
in the
.attacks we unceasingly dired against the
Enemy—in the sacrifices we are eager individually
to offer—in the pledges we are desirous publicly to
take—in the vigour and fortitude we do not obey,
but provoke and requ;re, in the public Councils,
whicii have only to guide the heroic spirit of the
Country !

LA it never be cart ,if sight, that while we for a
seaion sustal;. the urnot of the battle, Austria, Prus-
sia, and the States ( e have reasons for not naming,)
are recoverintz, from 'hr blow, and secretly preparing
for toe efforts it will be their part to alternate with
ty., in the ni.iversal struggle, avowed or concealed,
in whi.l all Europe Is engagA, and which has been
well called the duel wiiich F'ance is fighting with
mankind. Let it not be dreamed, that the genius of
Asper/2 and Essling, that the spirit of the battles, and
the proud memory of the vim Tories can be sponged
out of memory, and extinguished from the soul.—
That the pan tot conquerors of those proud days, can
be sent back to their parishes, by a little wax and
part hment, so changed and emasculated, that they
will be deaf to the first trumpet of Prince CHARLES !
Theirs are, if ever there were such, the

"lia conjugibus loquenda ;"
their battles will be tlaice won, and the French thou-
sands thrice slain by their fire-sides, and in their
farms and their fields ; whi!e all who listen will be-
come soldiers, and the patriot, ❑nextinguishable
flame be nightly fed by military Saints, the pure vo-
taries of loyalty and nature ; Heroes who preach by
their example, and patriots, whose very home is
their achievwnent and their trophy ! That such an
Etna as this can be extinguished ; that its Crater
w:11 cease to ferment and to-explode, that it will
throw up no clouds of funereal cinders, or pour no
burning lava down its headlong sides, is m hat the
sanguine BUONAPARTE cannot hope for. That
Russia is so lost, so far gone in madness and abcrra•
tion,- so irrevocably engaged and pawned in his
cause, his interests, and his ambition, he i, too much
a politician to believe. He will never forgive that
Power the mortifying favours he has tecelvtd at her
hands, and be it E:nper,r or nation, it will never be
forgotten in Russia that an opportunity has existed
—has been afforded by the Austrian valour,and per-
severance, which would not hate been passed over
in the better times of the Emperor PAUL H

The following is said to be the plan of operations
cn which it is intended that the military part of the
Expedition shall aet

'the operations will commence by launching the
numerous gun-boats on board the fleet either in the
West Put, at the entrance of the Scheldt, or Sluys
Roads, comprehending the Coast of Cadsand (ac-
cording as the weather may prove), where the men
of war are to anchor. The immediate intention is
to embark on board the boats the troops destined for
the main attack of the Island of Walcheren, in the
West Put, and the most judicious precautions have
been projected to prevent the enemy's gun-boats
from annoying them. The first attack, however,
will be made upon Cadsand, and South Boveland
will immediately after be assailed. The posses-
sion of the former being necessary to the future ope-
rations, it is to be attacked by the whole of a strong
brigade, led on by the gallant Marquis of IluNTneY ;
and this brigade, if necessary, is to be joined by ano-
ther, as nearly the whole of the brigades of the
right wing will at this junCture be in the Wieling
Channel. Schowen, Dayveland, and North Beve-
land, will it the same time be attacked, and in this
enterprise the Brigade of Guards. will be employed.
In the van squadron will be embarked, the brigade
of General HOPE, which is destined either for Dom-
burgh or the Veer Gar, as circumstances may deem
expedient ; and this brigade will also have a view to
the service of Tengoes, on South Beveland. One
of the brigades is to be held in readiness to laud be=
low the Nolle battery, in the event of the enemy
sending any great force to Zautland to repel our
force, by which means his retreat to Flushing may be
cut off. The principal attack upon. the Island of
Walcheren is to be made by the Portsmouth divi-
sions commanded by General Coors;and'a.brigade
is to be allotted for the service of demonstration ;
but the particular points at which the grand dash is
to be made by the left wing of the army we must de-
cline mentioning for another day. The rowing boats
to a great amount are to precede the flat boats, and
when they are within reach of grape from the shore
they are to open upon the enemy, diawing off in
equal divisions to the right and left, making room for
the flat boats to push in, and covering them till the
field artillery is ready to move forward. The bombs

meow a bombardment when direte.4,

" It is here apparent, that the inclination of the
Swedish Government to be at war tin Russia
centurea even in England, by well-intUrmt.d per-
sons. From the Russim litclaratinn-; whiCh was
published at the time, may be seen how much the
Russian Government endeawured to induce Sweden
to abstain from that war, and how easy tt would
have been for this Power to do so. Eccn England
found no great advantage to herself hi the war
consecpiently the Swedish GovertiMent was hin-
dered by nothing trOm accepting the proposali made
by Russia."

On the declaration of Mr. Canning, that the Eng-
lish Government had not occasioned the Austrian
war, the Gazette reMarkg—

" What efforts did not Russia make to divert Aus-
tria from this war, and maintain the peace of ih
Continent ! At the commencement of the present'
war, its defenders asserted, that the English treasure
would be poured forth, without mea•nre, in support
of Austria ; and that English fleets and ay would
appear in every quarter, and aCt in concert with
Austria. The preent declaration of
Ministry shews what slight foundation there +.va4
for all these speculations. The English Ministry
not only do not promise any thing, but ewen clairri
honour for having made no definitive promises ; tbt
having scrupled tOrrniug engagements ‘vith Austria,
a'td entangling this power in a premature and sud-
den war. How much blood would Austria Lave
spared ! What exertions and excessi.c sacrilir:e4
might she not have been dispensed from making, if,
disregarding the • idle declaimers of the metrui
and heated
.passions, she bad given ear to the con-
victions of what was her interest, and preserved the
peace; the reciprocal guarantee of which was ofThr-
ed by Russia and France A new lesson for all
those who change their political systems in com-
pliance with their. passions, and not from a persua•
sion of what is the interest and security of the!

MADRID, JULY s.—General Belliard, Governor
of Madfid, gives iaforrnation, that 2 body of insur.
gems coming from Molina, Medina Cell, and Si-
guensa, had made its appearance in the province of
Guadalaxara. He ordered M. Schwilter, Colonel of
the 55thTegirnent, to march against them.
In consequence, the Ist of this month, the Colonel
set out at two in the morning from the to‘Ali Of Gua-
dalaxara, at the heed of a detachment of intilotry
and cavalry. At Torija he met with ahem tiOn in-
surgents, with two pieces of artillery and some hare,
defeated them, and pat them to fl.ght : 150 remain-
ed on the field of battle. The cannons, cartlidge
boxes, and almost all' the muskets, which the insur-
gents had thrown away in order to escape more
easily, fell into our hands.

The King has pissed a Decree, au!h.orising the
Tribunals to take measures for gathering in the har-
vests of the lands, the inhabitants or proprietors of
which are in a country occupied by the enemy.—
Under this disposition is included every kind of
revenue.

This Decree, it is said, is to relieve the inhabitants
of La Mancha, who have gi: en o*eat f,iuots of their
loyalty and attachment to his Majesty.
Another D. cree also etraas, iliat the proprietors,
merchants, and the chiefs of any estabitslinient,
having a shop;and their suusli ing at home, shall be
organized into a twin on'itia, in. the ditietent ph ceS

their military Commandants and- Intendahts shall
require. The enrolment in this militia snail br %o-

SANTA Cunt DE MODELA, JULY I.—The fol-.
lowing letter has beet' intercepted, dated So,The,

We are in pursuit of those wretches (We French)
who are precipitately flying, al.ti make us no re-
sista,ce ; so that by the month of Aligtist, we flat—
ter outsell es there will not be one remawing in Spain.
Our army consists of 22,000 iiitanty:; and 3400
cavalry, without counting a reinforcement of 5000
men, which have been sent us by General Cuesta."
Tills bind confidence was the resnlr of intelligence
received from Andalusia, whiCh sp, Ite only ot pre-
tended victories in. Germany, a new coalition against
France, a numerous army mistress of Portugal, suc-
cesses in Arragon, and the forced' retreat of the
French troops, whom they took care td represent as
much weakened.

, It was from the influence of these false notiong
which had been generally spread, that th. 2, troops of
General Venegas set themselves in 'notion ; hut
when he heard of the arrival of the K:ag in '0,6
province, and of the
,demonstrations of joy witit
which he had been received,. be retreated With so
,great precipitation, that his .whole array had passed
the Sierra Morena yesterday.
Such is the system in which the Junta of Seville
persists in war against the population of its .own
country. • It is only by illusions that it can force the
few troops to tnarch which remain under their autho-
rity :. but the promptitude of their flight shews, at
least, how easily they may be under:eived. This
is what would happen to the Junta, if they braved,
themselves the dangers into which they precipitate,
ter try to precipitate, the troops.
