THE sixTur REPORT

• Relates to the collettioti of taxes in Scotland. It
sets out with stating, that the wtioie amount of
Properry Tax collected and paidinto the Exchequer
in Scotland, tor the year ending the stll ofJanuary,
1809, is stated to be. only 3 taj,7otil. net, and
321;6171.,gr05i. In consequence 'of -this. apparent
deficiency, the Committee inquired into the collec-
non cf 111;is'tax, and it became necessary io send for
a state of the arrears of Assessed Tails and Property
Tax: in Scotland:"'

LUA D U

TUP.SDAY, ArGUST (.28, 1810.

Captain STAckPoLE, of the Toni:mut, arrived yes-
terday at Portsmouth from Cadiz, and reached the
Admiralty last night. He brings an account of .the
temoval of seven Spanish ships of war from the har-
bour of Cadiz, by:the'authority
.of the CounCil of
Regency ; four of them have been sent to Port Ma-
llon, two are gone to the Spanish *est.l.ndks, and
one is to be brought to this country.

,The Duke of MANCHESTER, we understand, ar-
rived yesterday in this country, from his Government
of Jamaica.

It'is not true, as stated in a Morning Paper, that
General CRAUFURD is_put under arrest, nor that the
loss in the late affair in which he commanded, was
500 men. The loss amounted to exactly whit we
stated in our account of that affair, and which Via%
afterwards confirmed by the Gazette.

Path Papers reached town yesterday to the i gth,
and Haraburgh Papers to the 1 6th instant.
The progress of the Ex-King of Sweden to the
North has been suddenly stopped. He arrived at
Berlin on the 3d instant, and after staying a few
hours set off on his return to Switzerland.

The Hamburgh Papers contain a long official ac-
count from Petersburgh, of the operations of the
Russian army; but this detail does not reach to a
later date than the 22d of June. We are still,
therefore, left in a state of uncertainty respeEting the
battle stated to have been fought between► the Rus-
sian and Turkish armies in the beginning of July,
in which the former were defeated.

The intelligence from Naples, in the French
Papers is of the 26th ult. at 'which period no attack
had been attempted-on Sicily.

The Paris Papers also contain a variety of official
details from Spain, decidedly proving that the
French troops are fully employed in the most san-
guinary conflias ,with those who„ if we were to be-
lieve the former French official accounts, were long
since piat hors de combat.

NAPOLEON titidi himself compelled to publish at
intervals, some details respeaing the Peninsula, and
:n doing so he invariably proves, beyond the possi-
bility of doubt, that his korner boasts of annihilating
the patriot hosts of Spain, were merely pompous
falsehoods.

Some insinuations having appeared in the Public
Prints against the Portuguese troops, and private
rumours of the' same nature being in circulation, we
teel great pleasure in assuring our Realers that these
reports are utterly de.titute of foundation. The
