MUNICH, DEC. 4.—By, the laSt offie;...,A reliorts.
'from Inspruck, a t)attalion.of French infantry, which
removed on the 29th jinni Botzen to Briken, has
established between these two places the communi-
cation which had been interrupted for some days by
the insurgents. General Baraguay de Hilliers has .
occupied JNlnilri. 'With , two divisions the itisur-
. gents of the of Patscrieger, Alien, and
Wititichgau have been dispersed. The inhabitants
`'promised to submit, and are disarming.
From 700 to 800 prisonershave been set
at iiber-
ty on this occasion : 300 besides had been liberated
at the time of the ocCupa'tionof the detile of FinsteiA;
munz, by Major-General Ragiovich. The Ffench
troops are at Ghinus. iktie-:dVoliccd posts of
first Bavarian division are.at Nauders. The inha-
bitants.of this last place had sent dcpnties to Major-:.
General RagioviCh, offering to d-,:liver,tip tiiefr anus.
in all the environs the inhabitants have returned to
['heir habitations, and there is no reason to apprehend
a fresh disturbance.

The chief of the insurgents, Fiente, who endea
voured to perpetuate the rebellion, ‘4'as, with his Aid-
de-Camp, the famous Joseph Bachmen, of Hall, de-
sirous of saving himself, by traversing 'the lines of
the Bavarian. troops, •with:the renowned Manetti,
who has equapy distinguished himself . by his.
ploits during.ie insurre6tion. They were already
more than two leagues -and -a half beyond'the line
when Captani Regnier stopped them ; they were
conduced chained to Landech, and froth thence to
Inspruck.

• The French troops. evacuated Nollthem on the
19th of November. A Bavarian garrispn remains,
however, at Bregenz, 'Peldkitch,, and Pladeni;'. as'
well as at Grannz and. Nauders.

INsPRUCK, 'DEC. 1.---Tranquility is at present
established in the two vallies of the Inn, as well as
in Wingschgau. The French and Italian troopi
have removed to Nauders, and hold at present
communication with the Bavarian troops.
There have been several serious engagements be-
tween the French troops and the insurgents; it the
vallies of Pasfegen and Paznaun, as well as at Me-
nan. Nobody knows what has become of Andre'*
Hofer. With the exception of breadeall- kinds of
provisions are here at a moderate price.
KENFIEN, Dec. 3.—Detachments of subalterni
and soldiers which were made prisoners in the
Tyrol, arrive here almost daily they say nothing ,
particular relative to the treatment they received
from the Tyrolese. Itespeaing the late eVelits in
the Tyrol, they state that Hofer, in violating his
word, and exciting a new insurrection In the court-
try, had drawn down a terrible vengeance frond
the French, who attacked the bands recently collect=
ed, and had killed several hundred-Men, took their
chief himself, with his brother-in-laws and burnt
his house et Pesseyer ; they add, that the ref-lain.
der of the insurgents, terrified by this example- of a
itiSt .vetik!.eance, have surrendered their areas, and
retirecLpaceably to their homes. ,
MaDetn, DEC. 2.—Don Joseph MasSaredo, the
Minister of Marine, has addressed to his countrymen
a long letter, in which he invites them; in the most
pressing manner, to ward off, by a prompt submis-
sion, the calamities which are ready :to pot* upon
Spain. This letter thus concludes
" It was en the 14th of Oetober that the Empe-
ror dietated peke to Atistria.e yet your fate ordains
that your blindness shall stilt continue, and doeS not
even permit that the mad enterpriies of the JuniFt

who never has deceived you, who never has 'ceased
to dedicate his existence to the public good: What-
ever. may -be the enterprizes of the French. troops,
they are more than sufficient, to accomplish them ;
they have assuredly been ,very sufficient in all the
adions in which they have been engaged to the pre

are more than sufficient ; but humanity itself will
dire& the Emperor to display before your eyes a still
more formidable force; in ordee to deprive you of
all temptation to a resistance, which must Cause your

forts to those of the rest of the maritime powers,

bitants of the Peninsula must frequent unmolested,
in order to repair to their rich and numerous settle-

MADRID, DEC. s.—The Proclamation of General
Soliguac, Governor of Burgos, has had the best

with it. A few individuals only continue to be deaf

TRIESTE, Nov. 23.—Last night we were thrown
into the utmost consternation, by some English ves-
sels, which were seen in the afternoon, standing in
for this port. At eight o'clock, they began to let
off a great numher of rockets, which gave the at-
mosphere the appearance of a continued biaie'or
fire. The rockets, however, for the most 'Part'- tell-
into the water ; but three reached the town; and:
the conequence was, that one house was set on file;
though the flame; were speedily extinguished.
This city having suffered so much already dur-
ing the.present war, it would be truly hard, should
it be bUrtit by the English fire-rockets. Fire-wood
has lt)ecome excessively dear, owing to the severity
of the weather preventing its conveyance by sea.

transports from Walcheren. The flotilla which was

terconrse Mt. In the,bsrbours of America the French
ships of war found a safe shelter, and were repairPd,
refitted, and viaualled whenever they thought pro-
per, while at the same time the officers of British
ships were insulted, and their men seduced and pro-
teeted. It would be an endless, and at present an
useless task, to detail all the various instances in
which the American Government have manifested
an hostile disposition towards this Country ; it is
sufficient to advert to the last case, the intelligence
of which arrived yesterday. In discussing this
question, we certainly have a right to take Mr. hex-
sotes statement, in opposition either to that of Mr.
MADDISON or Mr. SMITH, more especially as Mr
Jacasom's statement is clear and unequivocal, while
that of Mr. MADDISON seems intentionally am-
biguous. • Even those Papers in this Country .
that are most systematically favourable to America,
do not venture to assert that Mr. JACKSON was not
founded -in what he said ; but they want to know
" what necessity there was for pressing and reiterat-
ing this point, until irritation was produced."
,The
answer is obvious—Mr. JACKSON must either have
submitted to hear his Government accused of ill
faith, while, he had the means of its vindication in
his hands, or have anted as he did. Mr. SMITH, in
pursiaance, we presume, of his instructions, charged
the British Government with a breach of faith for not
adhering to the arrangement made by Mr. ERSKINE
Mr c s;.sort,in reply,stat ed,t hat they knew that Mr.-
ERSKINE was not authorized by his instructions to con-
elude such an arrangement, and that consequently the
British Government could not be accused of a breach
of faith for norconcurring in at: amitigeinent which
was not warranted by their instructions. In support
of this position, and io bider to vindicate the ho-
nour ofhis Country, Mr. JACKSON did venture to re-
mind Mr. SMITH that " the three conditions forming
the substance of Mr. ERSKINE'S instructions, had
been submitted by him (Mr. ERSKINE) to Mr.
SMITH. This was the sum and substance of the of-,
fence committed by Mr. JACKSON against the dignity
of Mr. SMITH, and of the Am.-rican Executive,which
led to the rupture of the'N,-gociation, and to the
insult offered to the Minister. We would
ask, whether this was the conduct of a Power,
thing with amicable feelings, or wishing to promote
a pacific air.ingement ? We would ask, whether
the American Government would have aced in a
similar manner to a French Negociator ?

as,vare'O'f.'at pr'e'sent, for it has been always under-
stood that JOSEPHINE has often come " between the
dragon and his rage," and softened the ferocity of
his disposition, when he was on the eve of giving
way to its excesses. There is no allusion to the in-
tended successor to the arms of the virtuous and dis-
interested Corsican, who, to promote the happin►ess
of France, parts with an old Wife, in order to obtain
a young one; but the general surmise on
.this
subje6t, Points to t:e Princess of Saxony, and
as her father was suddenly ordered off from Paris,
it is supposed that he is gone for the purpose
of subduing all the scruples which his daugh-

that ilttrttlifiged reason for refusing JEROME

doubts; the' same Aijection will apily with equal
force in the present case.

There are many other points in the Exposition,
and the French Journals, which call for observation,
but the extreme length of them altogether, obliges
us to postpone our refleCtions.

We have made some further Extraets from the
French and Dutch Papers to-day, relative to the
affairs of Spain. The French boast of their return to
Madrid, in a manner that'shews that they did not ex-
pea it. The news from the Tyrol is, as usual, con.-

the subject of deliberation. There were present,

Lord MULGRAVE, the CIIANCELLOP of the Ex.',

The next advices from the liner Plate will pro'
bably announce that the restrictions in ,posed on Bri"
tish cominerce in that settlement have been ditni-
Dished equally to our advantage, and that of the ins.
habitants. We have been favoured with the follow-
ing extract fin this important subject :
" BUENOS AYRES, SEPT. 7, 1809.—We are all
waiting with anxiety the result of a.prooosit on made
by the Viceroy, to the Constituted Authorities, to
Q.en this Port to the-English; it has beeti strongly
recommended by hid', and partly determined on,
but as yet not
.decisively so. Last night the Junta
met at the Palace, when .the Viceroy told them
plainly, that the Government was four millions in
debt, and that he would require for the support of
his Government 360.000 dollars monthly : there-
for( if they could by any other ways a,,d means pal'
Out ono secure- the necessary suppltc4l
well and good; if not, he must be under the neces-
si.y of opening the Port to the English. He has
given them one week to consider of it.
The old Spaniards here are to a man aoinst
it ; vice versa, toe natives are as much for it ; there
are Memorials both for and against it going abota
for signatures. I believe the terms on which the
trade will be established are these :—Shies from
England will be admitted to corn , .111 pytnimt of
33-1-31 per cent. or as others say, 50; I think on
the original invoices; the vessel to be consigned to
Spaniard, who is to receive a commission of 6 per
cent. on sales; and 4 per cent on returns. Two-
thirds of the returns must be made in produce, the
remaining third may be in specie, on payment of the
regular export duty of 9 per cent. These arty the
heads, which no doubt will undergo many modifi-
cations.

While we were writing this paragraph, we re-
ceived an additional proof of the marked Insitt with
which th- R"nch seem, "pop every ..1v
termined to treat the Americans. Our Dover Let-
ter says, that Mr. I'OWELL, the Secretary to the
American Minister, who sailed for France oh Sun-
day in a Flag of Truce, has returned, the French
having refused to let him land! But this insult will
be passed ovet like the others : it is front England
only that the American Government requires repa-
ration, even for unintentional injuries .ind imaginary
insults. We again repeat, that we should view with
regret a war between
Great Brnain and America
we ardently with that an amicable adjustment may
take place, provided it can' be effect :d without any
concessions unbecoming the dignity of Great Britain;
but we confess the conduct of the American Go-
- vernment has very much diminished our hopes upon
that subject.

" Trade is very dull, and the market already
over-stocked. This place will be in a short time as
bad as itio."

The Exposition of the French Ministers, which
.we give entire to our Readers this day, is like all
the preceding documents of the same kind, a pom-
pous declamation ; and, also, like the former pro-
ductions, it involves points that.inchcate the views of
the Usurper. The account of the. flourishing con-
dition of the country,l and the progress of splendid
national works, however calculated to gratify the va-
nity of Frenchmen, can afford them small atonement
for the drain in their population, by Conscription, and

the sacrifice of so many of their Countrymen in wars,
Which have no -object but to iniulge the am-
bitiOn of their tyrant, and aggrandise his, family.
The hint 1.1711ii11 is given in this Exposition respect-.
ing Holland, has, we find, by accounts received
this day, dated 22d-inst. been carried into execution,
and the once high and mighty United States arc now
na longer an Independent Nation, but a degraded and
miserable province of France. The allusion to
New Spain is a satisfactory proof that BtJONAPARTE
feels the irresistible po'wer of the British Navy, and
therefore he affeEts to be friendly to the independence
of the Spanish Colonies, becauie he knows that,
with this country in their favour, it is impossible for
him to bring them into, subjugation. But to turn
from this Exposition to the extraordinary circum-
stance of the separation between BuotvArArtm and
his August Spouse, a separation which they both
represent as a sacrifice of .their affections for the
happiness of the French empire, it is certainly one

of the most disgusting insults that could be
offered to any people who have the least regard to
morals, and what is deemid sacred among mankind;
but it will, perhaps, be productive of more evils to
France and its dependent States than they can be

The following article is taken from a Nev York
Paper of the 25th ultimo :

INSURRECTION IN QUITTO.
" Captain Turley, of the sc.booner Phcete, from
Carthegpia, in South America, has assured, that
" riot drily the -declaralion of indepentienet; of
Quitto was _certain, and that the rroops were
marching :friwn every quarter to suppress it, but that
he himself had seen troops in readiness for proceed-
. ing there. Such an indifference, however, was ap-
parent on the part of the troops, that they seemed
more induced to support the cause of their country-
men, than disposed to subdue them. Tins revol
lut:on in the province of Quitto appears to be a
spark which will extend rapidly over the whole
Continent of South America, and in the present
circumstances, is the only means by which that
country can be rescued Crum the dominion of Btio-
naparte."
