SPAIN.

By a vessel which arrived a few days ago at Ply-
mouth from Spain, we have received some Spanish
Papers. They do not present any new events, but
they furnish some interesting facts not before known.
It appears, that in the action of the 17th the French
General GOBERT was killed; and in that of the 19th,
which produced the surrender of the whole of the
enemy's army in Andalusia, DUPONT, and two other
French Generals, were wounded. The total number
of the enemy, either taken or made prisoners of war
in that quarter, amounted to 21,000 men. On the
23d, the division under the immediate command of
DuPoNr laid down their arms. On that occasion
the Spanish army formed in two lines, when the
vanquished troops, followed by 20 pieces of cannon,
marched through, and surrendered their arms at the
distance of 800 toises.

The Spanish Official account of the Battle of
Baylen will be found in a preceding cohimn.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, his MAJZSTY arrived
at the Queen's Palace, from Windsor, and was re•
ceived by his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT.
At two o'clock his MAJESTY held a private levee,
which was attended by—
The Archbishop of Canterbaryi, the Bishop of Hereford, the
Duke of Portland, the Earl of Chatham, Earl of Westmoreland,
Viicount Castlereagh, Lord Mu!grave, Lord Heathbeld, Lord
fiawkeilsury, Lord Amherst, Dr. Cookson, central Finch,
jor General Sir Charles Green, and Mr. Perceval.
Major Genera! Sir CHARLES GREEN had the honour of being
presented to his MAJEvrv, on his return from Malta.
His MAJESTY gave audiences to the Cabinet Mi-
nisters present, and left town for Windsor about
half past four o'clock. His MAJESTY looked remar-
kably well.

On Thursday last, his Royal Highness the Prince
of WALES, accompanied by the Duke of CLARENCE,
the Hon. G. VILLIERS, Colonels PREEMANSE, BLOOM-
FIELD, and several Officers of rank, visited the Royal
Military College at Great Marlow, where the two
branches of the Institution were previously assem-
bled. The Gentlemen Cadets, amounting to 300,
appeared under arms, and went through several evo-
lutions, with great promptitude and precision—they
were afterwards seen at their studies, and at dinner.
His Royal Highness was pleased to express his entire
approbation of their military appearance, and the
good order that prevailed throughout.
Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with the
Duke of PORTLAND at Burlington House, Piccadilly.

Yesterday the Portuguese and Swedish Ambassa-
dors, and a few other triea4s, dined with Mr. Bow-
DEN, at his house near Fulham.
On Tuesday the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and
family arrived at Lambeth Palace, from Cheltenham,
to which place they are to return in the course of a
few days.

Yesterday se'nnight the Right Hon. Lord M.
viLLE passed though Aberdeen on his way to Haddo
House.

Brigadier General HARCOURT, who lately sailed
from Jamaica for St. Croix, of which island he is
Governor, having arrived there and taken upon him-
self the functions of office, has issued a proclamation
forbidding the exportation of all colonial produce in
foreign vessels, but in cases where such vessels shall
have carried provisions, lumber, and other supplies
to that island ; a measure tending to encourage an
intercourse with the Americans, but at the same time
calculated to frustrate the collection of their debts in
that island, while they withhold the payment of those
they owe.

A letter was yesterday received from Dover, ad-
dressed by a Passenger in the America, Capt. ',AL-
LAN., which left Amsterdam on the 19th ipst. This
vessel is said by the writer to be charged with dis-
patches from General ARMSTRONG to the American
Government, which are understood to be an answer
to those taken to Frai.ce so recently by the St. Mi-
chael's. There are many speculations afloat as to the
disposition of the French Government, which are ex-
cited by the unusual promptitude of this reply. The
following extract of a letter from Paris, dated July 31,
is not calculated to encourage the idea that the reply
is of an amicable nature :

" Fourteen out of the forty vessels captured or sequestered in
consequence of the Berlin decree, have been condemned by the
Council of Prizes, and the remainder will, it is apprehended, very
soon meet the same fame."

Some letters from !doHand state, that a rumour
was very current at Amsterdam and Rotterdam,
with regard to the formation of a confederacy against
France, between Russia, Austria and Prussia. The
mention of the latter power, if so it can Ike, -palled,
seems to deprive this rumour of any partiaaar claim
to attention, but some of the Dutch letters make an
appendix to the Coalition which renders it quite iris
probable, if not incredible. This appendix consists of
Denmark. But the recent conduct of the Danes in
ao voluntarily and promptly standing forward to dis-
arm the Spaniards in Zealand, implies too much ola
Cordial concurrence in the views of BONAPARTE to el-
, title to the smallest attention any idea of the disport-
, tion of the Danish Government, to join a confede-
racy against France.
Yet the French are understood to be engaged in
some very suspicious proceedings against Denmark.
Indeed, such as ought to alarm any Government that
can be supposed rationally vigilant and tenacious of its
safety. While the French have taken possession in
some instances, as we .have heard, by little short of
force, of all the Danish Fortresses in Holstein, thel
Danes have been sent to occupy Garrisons at a con-
siderable distance from Holitein. It appears' that t
Danish force is now stationed at Bremen.
