SPAIN.

The Thom has arrived at Portsmouth, and the
SEINE at Plymouth, both with dispatches from Spain.
It will be seen from the following letter, dated
from a town but a few leagues distant from Bilboa,
that an immediate attack on the enemy was intended :

'' CASTRO, OCTOBER 2.

" The French entered Bilboa on the 27th ult.--
Forty-six thousand Spaniards are nearly ready to
attack them, and it will be impossible for them to re-
main there a week longer. It is expected an engage-
ment will take place to-day or to-morrow.
Nearly the whole of the respectable merchants
of Bilbea are here."

The Royal Cheshire being about to tnarch,,and the

review. His Royal Highness was attended by Ge-
nerals Lord CAVAN, WHITHAM, SLADE,' and PORTER;
and had a most minute review, which lasted till four
o'clock, when he joined the PMNCE. The troops ac-
quitted themselves admirably, and received his Royal
Highness's thanks through General WHITIVIBI. The
German Horse Artillery were particularly admired;
they are uncoimmonly fine looking men, and are the
picked men of the whole Hanoverian army.

This morning the PRINCE and Duke of CLARENCE
take their departure from Portsmouth, on which oc-
casion, we understand there will be a superb military
spectacle ; the whole of the works, oui.works, &c. all
being to be manned.by the garrison, about 7000 men
in number.

Yesterday Lieutenant General Sir Haw DAME,
PLE and Sir WILLIAM SCOTT, the Judge, landed at
Portsmouth. Sir Hew called on both the Port Ad-
miral and on General WHITHAM, the Lieutenant
Governor, but neither of !Ann were at home, he then set
off for town, and arrived this morning.

Tistri WELLESLEY,
The Physician-general and Surgeon-general derive
infinite credit for the very complete manner in which
they have sent off the Expeditions with a Medical Staff,
particularly that which has just sailed from Falmouth.
Thursday and Friday last the Ist Dorset Militia
marched into the Barracks at Plymouth Dock front
Kingsbridge,
Of the late corps of Volunteers at Huntingdon, about
450 made a tender of their services to Government.
The bounties have been already paid to more than
500, and though the corps, when complete, is to con.
sist of nearly 1,000 men (Non-commissioned Officers
and drummers included) it is highly probable thq
whole will be obtained without resorting to the ballot.'
The corps is commanded by Lord Viscount HINCRIA
DRONE.

, The number of the Spanish troops intended to act
against Bilboa, we should suppose to be greatly ex-
aggerated, unless General BLAKE meant to proceed
thither with his whole army. However, they would
nY: fall much short of fifteen or twenty thousand men,
after they had been joined by the third division, and
the corps under the command of General Ricanumes.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Another packet, the Lady Nepean, has arrived at
Falmouth from Malta and Gibraltar, but the accounts
are not later than those received yesterday.
Our latest letters from Malta are of the 6th ult. at
which date Mr. ADAIR was hourly expected there in
the SEAHORSE. It was there considered as uncertain
whether he would proceed to Constantinople (in con•
sequence of the late revolution) without waiting for
fresh instructions. •

The order from Vienna to laf 'ltn embargo on all j
Americans, arrived at Trieste too late to prevent the
sailing of several vesselsbelonging to the United States.
They took the advantage of one of our convoys for
protection, and all of them escaped, except one laden
with hemp, which was detained.
When our Consul General left Trieste two battalions
of 1200 men each, had been incorporated there, as the
quota of a new levy of one hundred and twenty thou-
sand men, which the Emperor FRANCIS is raising in
his states. They are all from the. age of 18 to 25. At
Trieste it was generallybelieved that the Emperor had
500,000 men ready to bring into the field, exclusive
of the Hungarian levies. Some difficulties had, how-
ever, arisen between the Austrian Cabinet and the
Hungarian States; but of what nature is not stated
by our correspondent.
The Line of conduct to be pursued by the Austrian
Cabinet at the present crisis, according to the opinions
which prevail at Trieste, will depend entirely on the
part which Russia may take in the commotions which
now agitate Europe and Turkey. • I
The ALBAN cutter, with dispatches from the Bra-
zils ( ten weeks from }So de Janeiro) has arrived at

" PORTSMObII-I,OCTOBER 18.
" The Prince of WALPII has been here since Friday,
superintending the embarkation of the 10th Light
Dragoons ; and as each division has arrived, his
Koyal Highness has gone with them to the Dock-
yard. They are now all on board, and it is said that
his Royal Highness will leave us *to-morrow. The
PRINCE is quite adored by his regiment ; and some of
the men, as they went on board, • could not refrain
from expressing aloud their attachment. "•
a In taking leave of the Officers, his RoYal
ness actually burst into tears, and expressed in the
strongest manner his regret at not being able tii,oc.
company them ; but he said, I give my Sword to .13ri-
gaefier General GLADE, who will be at your head, and un-
der whole command I know you will litre to go, as much 4e
Ido that you should. It appears that General SLADE
entered the Pittrices regiment as a Cornet, and re.
mained in it near seventeen years ;--it is, therefore,
very natural they should like to go out under his com-
mand."
