L.ONDOIV,

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1809.

Last night we received Dutch Papers to the 15th
lu't. They contain an account .Ot the Batik of
Ocana., which, of conr=e, .representS the defeat of
the Spaniards as. complete, but at the same time it
is admitted that the Spaniards fought with great ob-
stinacy. Tl.e loss of the 'Spaniards is stated to have
been 4000 killed, and 20,000 taken prisoners, and
30 pieces of ciinoon.. •

The Ptoceedings whiCb BUOIVPARTE instituted
against Gen. MONNET, tie late Goverbor of Rush-
ing, have terminated iu the condemnation of that
Officer, and be Las been condemned as a coward
and a traitor, because he did not destroy the Dykes
and inundate the country, and because he surrea--
dered before a breach was made.

BUONAPARTE is exhibiting his.vassal Kings and:
Queens;. and though -they are alloWed to assume
some degree of splendour, yet hei takes very good.
care to remind them of their abjest state, and upon
some occasions does not appear to treat them with
common civility.. .On the Anniversary of BUONA-
PARTS'S Coronation, the City of Paris gave a fete in
.the Hotel de Ville, at which the whole tribe of vas-
sal Kings, Queens, Princes, and Grand Dignitaries,
were present. At five o'clock the Kings of Wir-
temberg, Saxony, Holland, Westphalia, and. Na-
ples, and the Queens of Spain, Holland, West-
phalia, .and Naples, were ordered to take their seais.
in the grand apartment prepared in the Hotel de.
Vitae (or this August Company. 131762iAiARTE took
care that they should have time enough to contem-_
plate each otlier's magnificence, for he kept them
sitting upen their chairs of state for no less than an
1v)or and a half before he condescended to make his
appearance, it being half-past six before his
irriieriat Majesty:arrived at the Hotel de Ville.
—As for MURAT, JEROME, and LOUI,S' BUONA-

PA RTF.,, their feelings upon this occasion were not,
p .1-haps, very acute, but the sensation of the Kipp
Ut SAXONY and WIRTEMBERG, must have been

ilifut indeed.

. .
The Tyrol,- we are told, for the tenth time, is
neatly trangnilized, bttt other accounts admit that
Cie insurgents are in, great force, and. that HOFFEK
once more at their head. ••-.

Although all the accounts from Spain admit,
what indeed it is impossible to deny, that the,
French were viciorious at ()calla, yet we are
happy to find that the Spaniards have by no meat 9

been sunk into despondency by their defeat. As
soon ‘as the disaster was known the. Marquis- DE
Rom.►Na, marched to Carolina with 10,000 mem,
to reiliturce the army ft General ARASAA.

• All claims of a pecuniary nature upon the late
Duke of PORTLAND, have withi:i -the last three days
been discharged by his successor. The 'whole of
the demands amounted to a. considerable sum. By
desire of the deceased, all those demesnes, whorhad
been in the family for the space of -ten years (and
the are' few who have not -.been „inmates fora
longer.periOd),. are to be a'lowed theirwagei fir
life,;- the steward and the co !fidential servant' are
each to have;air4uities of '200!: and other consider-
abla ernelernent-s.
,Buistrode, and all its.late acqui-
sitions, . are to be brought 'to the hammer. The
present. Duke means greatly to retrench the esta-
blishment, from the laudable motives of amply pro-
viding for his relatives.
