giving the following intelligence from an English
Paper—
The whole English army has (ratted Spain. Sir Arthur
Wellesley has his head-qu•oters at ilvas.--(t.). It is said this
retreat has been occasioned by the want of provisions,—(z.l
The •f!'rench have returned to Niadrid.''
The official journal subjoins these notes.
(1) This is certainly a great success, and the Eng-
lish people owe much graiitude to Lord- Wellesley
for having destroyed -a pArt of their troops, for.hay.
ing compromised the glory cif:their arms, for having
fled GO leagues, pursued sword in band ; in fine,
for having abandoned their allies. The King.. of
England has rewarded these great services by con.
ferring on General Wellesley the title of Lord Wel-
lington, Viscount Talavera. Why does be not give
'likewise to Lord Chatham the title of Duke of Wal.
cheren ? This reward would be as well merhed as
that which has been granted to Sir Arthur. We
:hope that the English General, who, in the coursed'
this ,winter, will be driven into the Tagus, and
forced to evacuate Portugal, will receive the title
of the Duke of Lisbon. Thus the French will find
in the genealogy. of the English Generals, the list of
their successes.
It is impossible to find a worse excuse.
What ! was it in the middle of Spain, when the
English army had behind it Seville, Lisbon, and the
Bel, that its retreat was occasioned by the want of
provisions ? It is impossible to sport more wills the
public credulity. 'The English fled from the French
bayonets, and the French troops, far frtAi returning
immediately to Madrid, pursued these fugitiveS ass
tar as the heats would permit.

CAEN, SEP:2.—In the night between the gth
and loth of Sept. about two o'clock, 'a patiole, con-
sisting of five Gens-d'Armes, commanded by Lieu-
tenant Forssori,igoing their rounds, met, near the
shore, about three leaves to the north of Caen, two
men on horseback, riding towards. the sea side.—
Being called upon to declare . who they were, they ,
replied, by firing their pistols, by which the horse of
the Leiutenant was killed. A battle commenced, but
as it was very dark, oneof the individuals made his es-
cape; the other was taken, atter being stunned by, a
blow with the but end art musket. He wa4 armed
with an English carabine, and two English pistols.
From the papers found upon him, it appears incon-
testably that he was an English spy. F. um the lets
ters which- he had in his pOcket; and the marks,,
upon his linen, it appeared that he was a Reigaitti
who had beeti a long time sought for. He was, re-
colleated by several of the inhabitants of Rouen; his
name is Robert Francois d'ActiA, formerly chief of.
a band of Chonans.'

Lord CASTLEREAGH will attend at the Lcvee thic
day, to. resign the Seals of his °dice, but, Mr. DUN'
DAs, will not kiss hands till next Wednesday. Mr.
CANNING is also expeded at th.e Levee this day, fot
the purpose of delivering in his resignation.

In another part. of our Paper will be fonnd some
long Extraas from the Moniteurs, containin4
servations upon the articles published in the Landon.
Papers, relative to the War between France aOd
Austri.a, the Expedition to the Scheldt, and the
conduct of Lurd WewNoTori in Spain, We, have
no room at present for remarking upon these Pa-
pers. They are evidently written with a view to cie,
culation,not in France but in this Country. It will 40

seen, however, that Lord CHATHAM Is entirety ex
culpated from the charge of tardiness in his opera-
tions at Walcheren. The best answer to the ob..
seryations upon the conduct of Lord WELLINGTON.
in Spain is, the jaa of the army remaining in per-
fed security. To appear rash, without the tatal con..
sequences of rashness, We take to be the highest proof

of skill and judgment in a Commander.

This morning a Guttenburgh Mail arrived, but it
