The following has just been handed to us from
.the City. With respect to the report from Boor-
deaux, it is not calcidated to give us mucbuneasl-
ness—it cannot be true. The Prussian brig,in 8
days from that port, must have left it on the 22nd
[23d)--we have accounts from Head quarters
to the 10th, when no battle bad been fought;.
Bourdeaux is upwards of 100 miles fioai Bayonne
—thus no defeat could have been sustained from
which 500 prisoners could have been Mai•ched to
Bourdeaux at the rate of something kore than
fifty miles per day in order to .have, been
visible to this Prussian Captain. Moreover, we
have French Papers to the 29th, silent upon this
victory, which has no foundation whereon to di-
vert us from dwelling on the more gloriou3 aspect
of the intelligence from other quarters: .

From FLINDALI,'S Westira Luminary, printed at
Exeter yesterday, Nov. 2. and reeaved, in town
this morning :
SECOND

FALHOUT4, Prus4ian brig i 3
rived_ here in eight days from Bourdeanx, the
Captain of which says, the British Army on the
Spanish Frontier had been defeate'd ; that he saw
500 English prisoners marched into Ilourdeaux.—,
A large, Aniericau privateer of 24 gnus had sailed
front thence on a cruise."

" PLYSIOUTII, Nov. I.—,The Brest Tied are
reported to be at sea. There is a great deal of
bustle here, in consequence of victualling the ships
in harbour, the whole of which will sail iming-
diately."—(Ficm the sane Paper )
With regard to the sailing of the Brest Fleet,
it is a strong confirmation of the desperation of
the Usurper; for what but despair could tempt a
French fleet to sea I—He is indeed in the last
act of PlaebetA, exclaiming in fury
" There is no flying hence, nor tarrying heel,
" I 'gin to be ti-weary of the Sun,
" And wish the cstote e`ch' world were now undone.
" Ring the &Warn hen blew *vial2 come, wilLek!
"At Icast we'll die with burned en oar back."

By the Mail from ilalifax, we have received
Nova Scotia Gazettes to the 30th September, and
Boston Papers to the 20th. The former contain
no news o 1 interest.

We are extremely sorry to say we have received
'the following letter (loin an Officer on the Hali-
fax station, dated so very late as, the 21st. ult.:—

We have sustained a most complete defeat
on Lake Eric—all our squadron taken by Com..
moclore PERRY, though not without hard fighting,
and it appears one of the enemy's largest vessels
struck, on board of which was the Commodore at
the commencement of the action, but had shifted
to another Ship. Commodore CITAUNCEY, by his
letter to the Secretary, has more than once offered
battle and'chascd, nay, even partially engaged Sir
J. YRO, who,,he says, always succeeded In getting
clear off by superior sailing.
"The killed and rounded on board the American
Squadron in Lake 4rie,. is stated at 27 killed, and
96 wounded.

" Captain 13Aactiv., our Conunodore, is dan-
gerously wounded, and :► prisoner.—Commodore
Itonneas is arrived safe lunne,—he burnt 15 ves-
sels since he has been out, and brought in one
privateer."

Lisbon Papers to the 19th. October are contain-
ed in our preceding collimus, but, as might be
expected, furnish no intelligence possessed of any
interest. In the absence of important accounts
from Lord Wcr..t.mo:ros, the Opposition organ
has, this morning, taken an opportunity of pro-
mulgating the sentiments of the Taleritt up-
on the hateful subject of the Invasion of
France. The sound of the,se words are un.
pleasant to their ears for as the Writer,
quoting Ilfirabeau, tells us words are things," so
it is that these things rewind them of all their idle
speculations on disaster in Spin, their boyish an-
ticipations of triumphs to nuotiatlMers, and In
fine all their fallacious prognosticated prophecies,
upon which this 'Hag 'sentence, " the invasion of
Prance,u is a comment so destructive to their
hopes, and so damning to their judgments.
The essay put firth this Jay affects singular

niotteiatiOn--)t is to " itgitictit, not

• to: exarigui4h the feelings of poWar exultation
and a pretty regulator the would have, weft,
their feelingt to be no otherwise excited by the
glorious tidings which we are in the habit of fe.
eiiving, than to the nfodittmi of extent AVliiCh is
congenial with the sokr spirits of the Party
After telling us something about the, indulgence Of.
3, " vague and ainiless joy that we hare invaded
France," these more cOnsiderate and aiming poll.
ticians say, " he (Lord WELLINGToN) has entered
France, andswe rejoice at the eeent." Now, where-
fore do they rejoice at the event ?—because it
is likely to be productive of advantages tti their
own country, and the common cause Of Europe ?
—No such matter, for they have from first
to last most pertinaciously insisted upon this
fact, that the invasion of Franc could accom-
plish no other object but to unite all classes of the
population of that country in warm and indisso-
luble union with fluoNnenTE, to inspirit them to
fight for the Tyrant and their native land together,
to fly to his standard as Volunteer Conscripts, and;
'in, short, second all his wishes with that alacrity,
energy, and enthusiasm which belongs to a people
contending for their homes, their wives and child=
ren, their altars. And yet these patriotic gen-
tlemen rejoice at the event which, according to
their own argument, is tO`tIOBUONAPARTE ell this
service-England all, this injury. They rejoice itt
it, though they assert, within twenty lines of their
candid expression of happiness, that

" The history of mankind proclaims- in every page this
eterrsal truth, thatutations, as well as Individuals, abhor
the Violence of agg-ression;, anti we must suppose France
sunk. beneath the ordinary -level of human nature, if wu
beliere that she cannot be quickened into active cnth,„
slam, by the approach of visible- and imminent
io the moment of alarm, the people will nut pause to re-
member by what series of events they have been brought into
that; peril; they will not, while their !adds are in danger- of
dev(station, their property ofplunder, their homes Of viola-
tion, stop to upbraid their Ruler with his ambition or his
crimes ; their universal cry will rather he, Lead us to hut- •
tle., that i e inns expet our invaders."' and in' the hour of
battle, the difference between.the soldier who fights for his
hire, and he who contends for his home, will be severely fm.
Surely, if they believe the invasion of France
will produce • this effect, they ought to be.sorrow-
ful, and not rejoice at it. But the truth is they
do not rejoice,at it, and it was only the affected
cant of moderation., which being • quite unnatural
to the Faction, could not be indulged in without
betraying 'them into some dilemma—plunging
them into some difficulty, whence all their so-
phistry cannot extricate them without discredit.
Proceeding with their essay, they as usual en-
force, upon us the absurdity, nay, wicked-
ness, of an attempt " -to overturn the French
Government"—To think of such a thing is
sheer insanity...o.4o dream of success in it ut-
ter madneas ! No ! no ! quoth the Talents,
touch not that --sacred pile the BUONAPARTR
dynasty—Old and eStablishid Governments may
he tumbled down, but there -is a vigour and
strength in the New which mock the battering rams.
'of assault, and siniie in security at the impotency of
tatte'ityteil subversion. See what ye have already

s/au have .rallied. Ranee rowutiltiatz APARTS. ' Did
this a-isertion rest on no graver or better autho-
rity than the Party, we shonld hold it to be un-
worthy of refutation., but as they make Lord
WELLINGTON and our Government answerable for
it, we shall very, briefly put it down. Not asham-
ed of prophecying yet, they say
,g And we may already oh 4erve, that our predictions are
partly verited. The Bulletin issued by Government tells ifs
that the French army had been . considerably reinforced by
bodies of recruits raised by the recent coweriprien. The
eenseeiptiars, then, has been submitted to, and is at ,tail
iirp-
n►ent cari)ing•iato execution, or has been executed! All the
reports.thatave have heard of the unpopularity of NA 1.0 LEON'S
Government *CCM to be falsified by the facts which present
tbewselves to our view in eery quarter, Suitt r, ren;th-
coed by the,new conscription, resumes the offensive," &C.

And upon these correct premises the following
,
conclusions are drawn
" If nt/Oti•APtallt were so unpopular the .71/;d4erial
papers and the strilfe to male ur briieve—fif
his character had sunk in the estimation of Frenchmen--and
that there was the idea of his fortunes falling, woul,l it bap.
pen that the horrible order for a corpoliption to tfiti' amount
of t 00,000 men would be so readily'. obeyed ?"

This is a fine specimen of opposition reasoning
of the blundering understanding "of these pseu-
do Statesmen. In the first place, this is not the
conscription of 280,000 men, which is yet neither
carrying into execution, or has it been 'execitt-
ed"—it is the conscription of 30,000 specially for
the army of Spain, raised and disciplined in the
southern provinces of France ! So much for the
accuracy of the, facts—but what shall we say
to the conclusions? Is there no medium between
a state of act►►al and general rebellion in France,
....an universal risingsgainst the Conscription, and
the extreme of popularity, of unfailing sucecss, of
exaltation of character, and of 'perfect devotion
to MIONAPARTE ?--Even were the facts stated
true as they are false, they would not hear out in
so absurd an inference ; and we Will venture to
tell these Chroniclers, that there is but one step
between the older of things they contemplate as
possible to co-exist, with the retainment, of his
usurped power by their faiourite, and his annihi-
lation.

Advice* were yesterday received from Gibraltar,
by a merchant vessel, of the date of the sth ult.
The information of this recent date is confined to
a single letter from a Gentleman to his father, and
from which we regret to learn, that the ravages
of the fever had considerably augmented. The
Jane, which has arrived from Gibraltar, lost two
persons from the .clfisets of the .fever during her
passage.
A dispatch from the Governor of Pamplnna has
been intercepted, which stated that he could not
possibly hold oat longer than the lath about
OT soon after which time, therefore, we may con-
cider it probable that the fortress has fallen, as re-
lief was, from the relative situation' of the hostile
armies, quite out of the question.
