40,000 FrenCh troops have within these eight days

partitions are tnade to procluce-in a few hours an

of his Majesty, been augmented by lout additional
batteries, mounted with jti-pounders.

inspected this fortress. Yesterday,"idoring the whole
of the day, a heavy cannonade 'was heard in the

and the explosion was distin6ll.y heard here.
The Dutch flotilla has tV4en a position in the
Scheldt. The sluices are ope.ned at Bergen-op-Zoom,
and the whole Polder bemeen this and that town is
under water. The hostitie fleet has extended itself
further along the East ern Scheldt, and a number
of their smail vessels *have come up to .Bathz. At
the departure of the post a heavy cannonade is again
heard, which appears to be in the neighbourhood of
Bathz.

French have made several bold sorties from Flush-

lish a number of men. Twenty waggons with
wohr,ded were brought to Middleburgh. The Eng-
lish, in their landing on Walcherett, lost five bun-
tcred men. Some waggons with gold, it is said,
have passed through Middleburgh.
The requisitions of provisions imposed on this and
all the villages of this island, are very oppressive. A
scarcity of butcher's meat is apprehended.
AMSTERDAM, AUG. 15. —The Rojjal Courernt
mentions nu new military events.

English ships arrive daily with ammunition and
provisions at Walcheren, and the enemy is form-
ing as considerable magazines there as if lie meant
to hold that island for a year.
The recruiting goes on well; and the greatest ex-
ertions are tvt:ry where made to oppose the enemy.
A Royal Decree dirits, that so lung ai a pact of
Zealand remains in the possession of the enemy, M.
Earlecrus shall till the office of High Sheriff ot that
Department.

important.

to goods of that description which might arrive in-
directly.
TURIN, AUG.2.—AII the American ships at Na-
ples, Civita Vecchia, Leghorn, &c. have been put
upder sequestration. The general opinion in the
mercantile world, therefore is, that the French Go.
veroment will no longer wink at the contraband
trade of the English, but is determined to adopt the
strongest measures in order to put an end to it.

Since the commencement of hostilities, 14,191
Austrian and 496 English prisoners Live passed

LEYDEN, AUGUST 9.—The French fleet, which
had taken a position under Fort Lillo, has partly as•
.cended the Scheldt as high as Antwerp, and had
taken an advantageous station free from any attack
of the enemy. French troops arrive daily at Ghent,
and at Antwerp. The right bank of the Scheldt,
fro.o Antwerp to Bergen-op-Zoom, is covered with
Dutch troops. Ci-devant Dutch Flanders is also-
covered with troops. The whole of this force was
expeOied shortly to be able to at on the offensive.

the Mediterranean, that a considerable number of
British transports with troops, which were former-
ly in Sicily, have sailed for Gibraltar, from whence
they are to proceed to Lisboa, to reinforce the army

expedition failed of success in its projeats against
Naples.

of peace.

The Emperpr continues to coustrud strong tetes-de-
pont on the left bank of the ,Danube ; and every

who were soldiers, have been pardoned, on conditiois
of entering the Dutch service; the rest are sent to
Magdeburg. The French and Danes stript the
Duke's soldiers of alrnost all their clothes, and left
them nearly naked. '
From Holland we have no news but what is fur-
nisll,ed by the Gallic liat;!vlan Joprnals, which are

THURSDAY, AUGUST 31 , 1809.

Yesterday, after our Paper had been put to press,
the Honourable Captain Stiacuo Aid-dc-Camp
to
.Lord WELLINGTON, arrived at the Secretary
of State' Gifice, .with Di:.patches from that -Ge-
neial, dated at. Deleitosa. on tie Bth instrant..=—
Tht-7 state, ti.tat as soon as the B:itis.ti _Army bad

. agaitW Souur and NEY, who were auvariaing with
tho:intent ton of in his rear. His Lordship ac-
-1.. 'tordingly broke up from Ta'avera, for' that -pitrine,
le.iving General ellesTA, to defend that position, and
' about; one thousand five bandied Brit:sh sick and
wounded. General CUESTA, however,- having re-
ceived intelligence that NAV anal sotr'.7. had' cal--;
lected such 4:lorce as would, in his opinion, brake
thertvAtiativer-match for- the British arrny,,. he
iiiltrirßukty:iinitterfalavera, fur the pu!pose of,
remCorf:Agg,.Loru vv ELLINGTON. This moverrient
enabled VICTOR to. advance and take possession of
Tal.ivera, and, of course, our sick and wounded
fell into:his hands. The advance of VICTOR entirely
disconcerted Lord WELLINGTON'S plan of opera-
tions, because if he continued his march, he would be,
placed between two armies, each superior to. his,
own. He therefore efle&ed his retreat to Delei-
tom, wirere'he has taken, a position, in which he
considered himself as perfeCtly secure. 'The French
bad colleded thvir forces from,every 'part of Spain,
in the hope of overwhelming the British Army.
Their numbers were estimated as follow :—Vioroa
and JOURDAN, 38,000 men SUCHET, who had ad-
, vanced from Arragon to 'Madrid, 6000 men.;
Nay, MoaTIEs, and SOULT, 39,000 men ;
making together 14,000 men. The British army,
its ieinfOrcements, amounts to about 24,000

NERtoits's to 20,000 ; and Sir B. to.

be considered ac equ 1 to the F .-itch in the MO.

Private Letters have been received from Olinutz,
dated the Bth init. which state, that at 01;4 time
Preliminaries of Peace had not been signed, irr I,ad
any notice: been. given 'of the rupture the Armistice.
The principal Austrian army had been reinforced' to
200,000 men, and that of the Archduke JOHN to
65,000 men.. The condua of BUONAPARTE; in
taking posSesson df AuStrian Poland for himself, has,
it is said, excited the jealousy of Russia:

Yesterday afternoon «•e received French and

German papers; • the former to the 1 Ith, and the
latter to.the tgtb 'hist: from which we have made
copious extracts, With respect to. the impot taut
question of Peace or Wai• between France and Aus-
tria, these papers gire us very little additional in-,
formation. It is stated, indeed, in an. article from
Paris, that CHAI%R.AGN 17 had set out for Raab, ..to
put the finishing hand to the Treaty of Peace. .It
appears that another kingdom is in contemplatiirn
for one of BLIONAPARTE'S family ; ALEXANDER
BERTHIER is to be appointed King of Switzerland:

Yesterday noon his MAJESTY errived frorn'llf ind-

The seizure of Cadsand is -known to have been
among the fir3t objedi of. the British force ; aticl
u Mile the respeaable garrison that now occupies
Walcheren is- kept in that 'island, milli- the com-
mand of the passage wttid-, our -ships atforci, 'a
large 'defet.sive fOrce must be maint,iined in Cad-
mic!. IA kith of c-urse lAN be so much detracted
from. the force to be oppoSed to our principal army
up the river. If Cadsand be weakened, it is- iti
dsnger of sharing the tate of Walcheren..; if it •be
kept in an etfectoal stale of defence, Lillo and
_Atli-
werp will have less means to make a powerful re-
sistance. We understand; from the bt•st authority,.
do there is no .doebt of the. tact that Walcheren
perfectly tenable by .a British force in all, seasons.
What has ben said abuu the ricer being frozen
over in winter is quite a fable. The oldest inhabi--
tants remember nothing of the .kind ; and some
have a perfeEt recollection for sixty years back. In
one severe winter,' two young 'wen set out from
Cadsand-with the -intention to pass over to Wal-
cheren upon ,A he ice; but, they were never heard of
more. An attempt to send an army over this
Way would therefore, oniy oppose it to the Certain
and unprofitable destruction of being simalloWed up
waves.before it could come in contact with the
British forces. We 'trust that the further impor-
tant objects of the Expedition' will yet be iICCOIII-
041e3 ; but , Walcheren alone, thUS secure from
recapture, is 2. most valuable acquisition ;'And it
wit) of course be not the less pleasing to -Britons,
because it will be always a most galling thorn in the
side Of BDONAPARTE.

Lincoln, the loth (2d batt.) to do duty there.
On Saturday arrived at Plymouth. a Greek vessel
from Crete, the tirst,of that nation ever in that port.

The following letter has been received by a House
at Liverpool, from Sicily :
MESSINA, JULY 17.—With respeist to political
events in that quarter, you have, no doubt, heard of
the taking of the two Islands of Ischia and Procida
by our forces under Sir J. STUART. As yet there is
no prospect of his making a descent upon Naples or
the coast. 'The 'lower part of Calabria, which has
been open a short time, is. again, shut against the
English. All. must depend 't4pon the 'successes of
AuStria., from whence we hay' no late accounts." .

cashire, and a weaver; Jones is a public6:l, and a
native .of Wales. • .
