Friday; the 22d ult. a Gentlemax arrived at the
Tontine Inn, Helensburgh, near Greenock, from
Whitby. Shortly after he left the inn, and went out
in a small boat, taking his dog and a fowling piece
along with him, for the purpose of shooting wild
duck. As the boat was found in the Gare Loch next
morning, and no accounts having since been heard of
him, ►t ►s feared he has perished. The boat was ob.-
served the same night by the skipper of the Roseneath
packet, with a handkerchief on the top of an oar,
supposed-as a signal of distress, but to which the un-
feeling packetman paid no attention. The dog re-
turned to the inn next day, and continued moaning
most piteously. In the Gentleman's portmanteau
were found 200 guineas in gold, and 100 in Bank
notes.

DUTCH PAPERS.

METZ, SEPT. 24.
His Imp&ial and Royal Majesty arrived here this
evening, at six o'clock, without the slightest intimation
of his intentions—but as soon as the people were ap-

prised of his arrival, they crouded frOm all quarters,
and manifested their sense of the honour conferred

upon them by loud acclamations of joy. Having
alighted at the hotel of the Prefect, the Emperor gave
audience to the Civil and Military Authorities. His
departure is fixed for four o'clock to-morrow morning.

MONTPELIER, SEPT. 15.
On the 11th and 12th instant the town of Cetta
was thrown into confusion, and kept in a state of
alarm. Eleven of the enemy's boats, with 200 men,
approached the shore, for the purpose of effecting a
landing, cutting out a convoy lying in the harbour,
and setting fire to the magazines. The Guard of
Honour, together with the Gens d'Armerie and the
Volunteers, headed by M. Bescelin, gave the boats
such a warm reception, that they were forced to re-
turn to the frigates.

BAYONNE, SEPT. 2.
The Duke de Fias arrived at this place on the 29th
ult. and set out next day for Paris, to assume the func-
tions of Ambassador from his Catholic Majesty, at
the Court of France. The French army in Spain still
maintains a strong and advantageous position. The
Spanish insurgents are quite inactive. Marshal Moncey
and his Staff have been for several days at Pampelu-
na. The.- object of his Excellency is said to be, to
sanction, by his presence, the installation of M. Ni-
grette, as Governor of the province, and to inspect the
fortifications,. which have been deficient in artillery.
The courier which arrived here this morning does not
bring any news. Anarchy still reigns in that infatu-
ated country. Our army is making great preparations
to push forward, and wait only for reinforcements,
which are hourly expected. They write from Mi-
randa that 1,500 French had been arrested in Madrid;
but this rePbttie imworthy of credit.
London, England, 1808-10-08

SPAIN.

By the Mail from Corunna, which arrived at a late
hour last night, we received Spanish Papers to the
2d instant, from which we have given ample ex-
tracts.

The Spanish troops under the gallant Marquis de
la ROMANA arrived at Corunna on the 30th ult. and
have been ordered to proceed to Bilboa. General
CUYSTA has been appointed Commander in Chief of
the Army of Arragon, in the room of General PA-
LAFOX, who has been deputed to the Central Junta.
The French have retreated from Burgos, after
spiking their cannon and destroying their powder—a
!striking proof of the haste and alarm with which they
took their departure. The Spaniards seem to enter.
tain no dread of their threatened reinforcements.

Reinforcements for General BLAKE'S army, to the
amount of 30,000 men, were expected to pass Co-
rinna on the 2d instant—some of them are British.
Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK arrived at Madrid on the
25th ult. on a special mission to Central Junta.
The DALRYNI.PLE Convention has excited great dis-
gust in Spain.

BAN BOY (CATALONIA), SEPT. 4.

(Dispatches from the Count de CaMagian),
" A short time before day-break, the day before
yesterday, the enemy advanced and attacked our
forces at Llobregat, on the whole line formed from St.
Boy to the bridge of Molins de Rey. They began the
attack on the points of St. Boy, and the centre, and
shortly extended it to hiolins de Rey. They attacked
St. Boy with two pieces of cannon, and a consider-
able body of infantry and cavalry, much strong*
than the body which was garrisoned there, and they
advanced to the attack with more intrepidity than
usual.

" The fire was kept up for a long time by both
parties ; and the enemy, though his artillery was of
larger calibre than ours, lost a great number of men;
but they cannot be counted, as it is known they butt;
their dead.

The French endeavoured to possess themselves
of the bridge of Molins de Rey, the position I corn.
manded ; and though his cavalry attempted to pens.
trate in every part, they were always driven back. I
'confess that it was the continued and welldirected
fire of my artillery which arrested the progress of the
enemy, who made an attack upon this post alert
with 2000 infantry, picked men, 200 cavalry and at.
tillery, of a larger calibre than ours, which, amt.
ding to all our information, was commanded by Di.
hesme himself. It is certain that I was attacked with
'vigour, and was obliged to draw back on my right;
but at three in the afternoon, the enemy was not dis.
posed to pursue the attack, and retired as usual, exer.
cising the usual acts of devastation, burning, in re.
venge, the few houses they passed ; but I am sure that
his loss Much exceeded ours."

FIRST BULLETIN.

et The inhabitants of Villa Viciosa, misled by
evil minded persons, and the idle promises of some
Spaniards, revolted on the 20th June last, and imme-
diately forced the garrison of that place; which only
consisted of one company of the 86th, to retire into
that fort. General Avril on receiving intelligence of
this insun-ection, left Estremas where he then was,
and marched to Villa Viciosa with a demi battalion,
some dragoons, and two pieces of cannon. The re-
belewho were in ambuscade fired upon him, but they
were soon driven by the bayonet from their position.
General Avril and Colonel Lacroix entered the town
—the rebels fled on all sides, leaving 200 dead in the
streets. They were pursued into the country, where
a great number of them suffered the punishment due
to their crimes. Twelve of the leaders of the rebellion
were taken and shot.
et Tranquillity is at present restored in Villa Vici-
osa ; the inhabitants have acknowledged their error,
and implored the clemency of the General.
et The moderation which our brave soldiers dis-
played on this occasion is without example. Not-
withstanding the laws of war, no house was pillaged,
and this conduct has excited as. much gratitude to-
wards our troops, as their valour has inspired admi-
ration:—Head-partrrs, Lisbon, June 25.

OPORTO, SEPTEMBER 7.
The wounded and sick Eng:ish Officers-and sol.
diers have been received here by the Nobility,
Clergy, and all other persons of distinction, with all
the attention due to our generous allies. They were.
landed from on board several transports on the 30th
and 31st of last month. The common soldiers were •
conducted to the Royal Military Hospital, establishesi
_ _

. .
in the Benedictine Convent in this city, and the Oft.
cers provided with decent lodgings. His Excellency
the most Reverend Bishop, President and Governor,
visited the hospital in person, and administered even
pecuniary relief to those who stood in need of it.
On the 4th inst. appeared in sight of this port, Z
English ships under convoy of the Pluto frigate,-
which sent on shore eight chests with money, con.
4 signed to private individuals of this place.
SEPrEstIiER 3.—We have received the following
account of the operations of the Combined Army
subsequent to the battle of Vimiera :
" On the 22d August we marched from Obidos
for Lourinha, the enemy being on our left, and sve
saw some of the piquets and viaettes, who seemed to
observe our march.

Our General, sent Lieutenant-Colonel Sarmento
to the English General in Chief, to inform him of
our approach ; and the latter returned for answer, that
he expected every moment to be attacked by the
French, and that we were to form the rear guard, as
there was reason to apprehend that the enemy would
endeavour to prevent our junction with the British
army and attack us; we halted, and tormed in line
of battle, in order to ascertain the enemy's viedrs.—
saving remained in this situation about an hour and
a half, and finding that the enemy did not make his
appearance, we put ourselves in motion on the road
to Vimiera, where the English head-quarters were
established.

our-rnarch to that place we learned., that the
French- General Kellerman had arrived there to pro.
pose terms of capitulation ; we accordingly encamped
at a spot some distance from Vimiera, and our army
may now be considered as having formed a )'unctiot►
with the British troops, and to form with them one
combined army."

Nyborg and Svenborg, and all vessels found in those

tions in every town and •illage through which we
passed took place ; and I understand, notwithstand-
ing all that has been said about Lisbon, that the
inhabitants are preparing there for three nights re-
joicings when the British Army enters. It was in or-
ders two days ago, that the reserve were to hold
themselves in readiness to march in. This was re-
quested by Juxor, from an apprehension of the po-
pulace rising, and murdering all thoie who happened
to•be the last embarking. They are dreadfully ex-
asperated against them by all accounts, and, on re-
flection, there cannot be any cause of much surprise
on that account.

Since writing the above, I have heard, that a
considerable part of the army is to go to Barcelona ;
but as reports are many, and very contradictory, I
do not think this is much to be depended upon. I

MARGATE, SEPT. 29.

Yesterday, the Ball for the Master of the Ceremonies
at Dandelion, was attended by 416 persons; among
them were many of the first rank and consequence.
A finer day was never seen in " Thanet's favoured
Isle ;" it was warm, sunny, and pleasant. At au
early hour the pedestrian groupes set out from the
High-street along the New Road, which forms so
prominent a feature in perspective from Cecil-square.
About the hour of one, barouches, chariots, tandems,
cunicles, and landaus, were driven through Hawley
and Cecil•squares, with the rapidity of lightning.-1
At two, the splendour of Dandelion was at its zenith ;
there were then 114 carriages in waiting on the lawn
contiguous to the gardens. The company were too
fashionable to dance, or partake of the refreshment ;
promenading was, of course, the only amusement. The
scene was a moving picture. in which the eye most
familiar to the place, might discover abundance of
novelty, and the contemplative mind an inexhaustible
source tier observation. In dress, the Ladies princi-
pally wore white, with the cottage bonnet ; the Gen-
tlemen, blue coats, white pantaloons, pink spotted
handkerchiefs, and white hats. The families of the
Archbishop of CANTERRURY, the Dowager Countess
of PEMBROKE, Lord and Lady DUDLEY and WARD,
Mr. GODFREY, M.P. Mr. R. LEIGH, Major PLUNKET,
Hon. Mrs. EDRIDGE, Mrs. MARSHAM, Col. HUUDE;44,
Hon. Mrs. .ARISUTHNOT, Colonel GASCOIGNE, Mrs.
PaEiroi, Hon. Mrs. Kan, and Mrs. Wit.vinsts, were
present. The I-lon. Mr. RANtSbEN, and Captain
KESNEDY, sported new curricles ; Mr. J. HARRISON,
a new Imperial Mail-coach, with a set of bright
bays; a Gentleman (name unknown) who came
from Ramsgate, exhibited a far simile of Mr. Kum-
SON, with an appendage ; a party of beautiful women
rode on the roof instead of the inside of the carriage,
which was empy. The military band belonging to the
Anglesea Militia, and the one provided for country
dances, played alternately. About four o'clock the
company retired from this Garden of Eden ; and it was
with pleasure we heard the conversation uniformly
turning on the beauty of the spectacle, and new en-
gagements to revisit it. Mr. BAmAttn's attention
was indefatigable.

RAMSGATE, SEPTEMBER 28.

Mr. LE BAs' Benefit Ball was last evening distin-
guished by unusual brilliancy and eclat. The com-
pany was numerous and fashionable ; they exceeded
in number 350 persons. The assembly rooms were
magnificently illuminated. Precisely at half-past
nine o'clock, the ball was opened, with The Happy
Return," by Colonel de BLAQUIFitte. and the Hon.
Miss Powls, the amiable daughter of Lady LILFOXD.
Two sets were formed With twenty couple in each ;
gtspirit and elegance were displayed in the dances.
hments were served out about midnight, and at
half-past two in the morning, the dancing ceased.
The display of female beauty, elegance, and fashion,
was superior to any thing of the season ; for though
the tolPti is not full, the charms of the evening (moon.
light), and the interest of the sight, procured the pre-
sence of almost every person of rank in the island.—
Among the company were—
The Marquis of Ely ; Lady Hyde Parker and family ; Lady
I.ilford and family; Sir Edward Hartopp ; Viscount and the
Viscountess Dudley and Ward; Sir John Gilmour: Mr. and Mrs.
Thornton; General and Mrs. Carleton; Mr. Green Wilkinson;
Mr. and Mrs. Warre ; Mrs. Hankey and Mrs. F. Hankey ; Cap..
rain and Mrs. Cohon; Sir Wm. and Lady Curtis ; Mr. and Mrs.
Ewens ; Hon. Mrs. Chapman; Major Brisco; Hou. Mrs. Bur-
ton ; Hun. Mrs. Arbuthnot and Mis. Impel ; Hun. Colonel and
Mrs. Burton ; Mr. and Mrs. Farrell ; Dr. Thomas Willis; Mr.
and Mrs. Green ; Mrs. and Misses Sowerby ; Mr. and Mrs. Hill,
Dr. and Mrs. Cook; Dr. Gray ; Mrs. Plard'ng ; and Mr. and
Mrs. Austin.

The dresses worn were principally white muslin ;
the coloured ones have enjoyed but a momentary
triumph ; they were made low in the back, with
demi-trains, and trimmed with a profusion of white
lace. The exposition of Me whole of the bosom, and
even the shoulders, which were wont to prevail last
season, is this year exploded ; the fair possessors now
conceal what they were accustomed to shew, recol•
lecting, no doubt, that Nature never made so fine
a bosom as that which imagination forms."
Great confusion arose at the time of the comp lily's
departing ; the carriages, from their great number,
could not be brought up to the doors, and therefore
not only those who depended upon hack chain, but
those who had coaches of their own, were obliged to
go on foot. The Hon. Mrs. CHAPMAN had the pan-
nels of het carriage broken, the pole snapped in two,
and one of the doors wrenched off its hinges : she nar-
rowly escaped, by jumping out, at the imminent risk
of her life. Other accidents of a similar nature oc•
curred ; but happily no personal injury was sustained
in consequence.

PARTS, SEPTEMBER la.

Yesterday the Emperor and King received the
nate at the Palace of St. Cloud, when the following
Address, voted in the Sitting of the sth, was pre-
sented to his Majesty :
" SIRE—The Senate have listened with the live-
liest emotion to the Message of your Imperial and
Royal Majesty. They have also received with a pro-
found and respectful gratitude, the communication
which your Majesty has been pleased to make respect-
ing the affairs of Spain, the Constitution accepted by.
the Junta, and the Report presented to your Majesty
on the state of your armies in the several quarters of
the globe. They have unanimously adopted the Se-
nasals Consultor n which your Imperial Majesty has pro-
posed, and one hundred and sixty thousand brave
into shall participate in the immortal fame of your
numerous and formidable legions. You believe in
the Peace of the Continent, Sire, but you will not suffer
yourself to depend upon the errors and perverse cal.
culations of foreign Courts. Your Majesty desires to;
defend solemn arid voluntarily concluded treaties—to
maintain a Constitution freely discussed, adopted, and
sworn to, by a National Junta—to suppress a bar-
barous anarchy, which now covers Spain with blood
and mourning, and threatens our frontier—to rescue
the true Spaniards from a shameful yoke by which
they are oppressed—to assure to them the happiness
of being governed by a brother of your Majesty—to
annihilate the English troops, who unite their arms
with the daggers of the banditti—to avenge the French
blood, so basely shed—to put out of all doubt the se-
curity of France, and the peace of our posterity—to
restore and complete the work of Louis XlV.—to
accomplish the wish of the most illustrious of your
predecessors, and particularly of him who was by
France most beloved—to extend your great power,
in order to diminish the miseries of war, and to com-
pel the enemy of the Continent to a general Peace,
which is the sole object of all your measures, and the
only epoch for the repose and prosperity of our coun-
try. The will of the French people is, therefore,
Sire, the same as that of your Majesty. The var
with Spain is politic, just, and necessary. The
French, who are penetrated with affection for the
Hero whom they admire—who display so much en-
thusiasm whenever they have the good fortune to be-
hold you, will answer the call of your Majesty with
zeal, and nothing shall shake the determination of
the Senate and the People to support your Majesty
in every undertaking which you may judge necessary
for the great interests of the Empire. May it there-
fore please your Majesty to accept this new tribute of
our respect, our attachment, and our fidelity."
