EXTRACT OF A LE:(TRR FROM GIJON, OCT. 1.8.

" Our American friend, Mr. BROWI,I, is just this
moment arrived from Santander:' He brings an ac-
eomit of the French having left Biiboa in a hasty
manner, and that the Patriots, to the number 012000.
men, have entered it, as also Santona and Castro. At
hist departure typal Santander, it was supposed that,
General BotorT would pursue the same route."

The flowing letter, received yesterday" from
Holland, spews that the public mind there has
been bewildered and confounded beyond all rational
conjecture.
AMSTERDAM, OcT. 23.—Never perhaps was
the political world more completely puzzled than at
present. One day it is believed that peace haS actu-
ally been signed, bat that it is a bad one ,fOr the
French ; that is, not so brilliant as former treaties...,
Another day this belief vanishes ; .and the Conqueror
of Europe is represented to be deranke4 and incapa-
ble of any exertion.' BERTHIEK is put at• the head
of the army, and INTAi.ot.EoN consigned to solitary
confinement at Foutainblean. One describes' the
Malady as raging madness; another, as the an-
nihilation of ail the mental faculties, proceeding
from an epileptic fit, to %%Mich they say that great
man is subject. Others again disbelieve the whole
story : while another description considers him as
long no more. fire have been (Sicially told, that
the peace is concluded ; and it has not been offi-
cially contradicted. Various are the ways in which
this is accounted for ; but all vague and contradic-
tory. To speak rationally, one must conclude that
'some event of iMportance haS occurred to prevent
the publication of the articles. The Moniteur, as
late as the 19th, preserves the most solemn silence
on the subject ; and the French funds are con- •
tinually fluctuating."

Letters of the 15th inst. have been received from
Lisbon, and of the I 4th, froth the Army. at Badajoz.
The rainy season having set in, the troops were
breaking up the .enCariptnents, and going into
ter cantonments. The French had resumed their
former position .at Placentia. They had left it with
the intention of attacking VENEGAS, but abancioned
the plan as imprudent.
