MADRID, SEPTEMBER 14.

It is affirmed that the sailors of the Toulon squa-
dron are in a state of insurrection, and that it is the
cause of the departure of the English squadron from
Cadiz. It is necessary that we should be on mir guard
against such intelligence, which the French themselves
spread, in order that we may sink into an apathy, and
indulge a confidence not only imprudent, but even
so pernicious, that under the present circumstances

It was reported last night, that accounts had been I
received by the UNICORN, from Spain, of a battle)
having taken place on the if9th ultimo, in which the
French were defeated with great slaughter. The re-
port is unfounded. The UNICORN left Bilboa on the',
2d instant, but only brings a confirmation of the ex-
pulsion of the enemy from that place.
General MERLE retired rapidly on Vittoria, tvith
little more than 2000 men- This post is of such im-
portance, that it was expected the enemy would make
the greatest exertions to re-occupy it. It was under-
stood at Bilboa that 12,000 men had been detached
from BILSSIERES'S army for that purpose, but means
were adopting to defeat the object of the enemy. A
general engagement was expected every day, and
two English frigates, the Cossacx and IRIS, remained
off Bilboa to bring over the official details. BLAKE'S
army is estimated at 80,000 men—that of the enemy
at about half that number.

The principal intelligence brought by the Heligo-
land Mail was the fact we gave yesterday—that the
Russian Directing Senate had protested against the
EmPEnon's journey to meet NAPOLEON. What may
result from the rejection of this hint time alone can
spew.

The length and importance of the Exposition by
DON PEDRO egvAttos, obliges us to confine our ex-1
tracts from this Mail to a few paragraphs.
A park ofartillery which requires 2700 horses to trans-
port it, is in full march to Erfurth. Is this intended
to dazzle the eyes of ALEXANDER with the warlike re-
sources of the great Nation, or is the annihilation of
the Austrian Monarchy to be one of the first objects
of the renewed cc,alition between France and Russia ?

An article in the Hamburgh Correrponcleaten,
dently of French dictation, labours to make it appear,
that Russia derives great benefit from her present
connection with France, and that the peace of the
Continent is not likely to be disturbed. Another ar•
tide asserts, that there is no probability of any rup-
ture between Russia and Austria. The jealousy and
Suspicion which BONAPARTE entertains of Austria, is,
manifested not only in the Paris Papers, but in all
those Journals over which he has any controul. It
had been asserted in the French Papers, that the Em-
peror of AusrmA intended to be present at the inter-
view between the Emperor ALEXANDIR and BONA.
PARTE ; but these papers state that this rumour is not
confirmed. It is stated in some accounts, that the
object of BONAPARTE, in this interview, was to iaduce
the Emperor ALSZANDIER to compel Austria to enter
into a triple alliance. There is little doubt, that the
overwhelming or the overawing of Austria will be

matter of discussion at the interview, if the Emperor
ALEXANDER can so far degrade himself as to become
the abject tool of BONAPARTE.

The wretched King of PRUSSIA has been obliged to
dismiss one of his Ministers, because he had rendered
himself obnoxious to NAPOLEON.

FREDERICK had solicited to be admitted intp the
Confederation of the Rhine. His request was ref.
sed, and an intimation superadded, that the Frei- ch
would not evacuate Prussia for the present!

Private letters from the Elbe, dated the 20th and
23d ult. state that the Spanish troops in the North of
Europe were daily arriving at Harburg, on the Elbe,
to be embarked for France as prisoners of war. They
are treated with brutal severity by their French teas.
ters : many of them are tied down in waggons, and
their only food is bread and water.

One of the private letters from the vicir.itr
Hamburgh, states, that an American ship 1,.
sail from Hamburgh about the 10th of Octacr, 4
special leave of the French Government. As the Consul
at that place, Mr. FORBES, IS a most determined Anti.
-Englishman, or rather an avowed enemy of the Bti•
tish, it might net be amiss that some of our cruizeis
should be on the look-out for this vessel.

A Gentleman, who recently quitted the Island of
Teneriffe, arrived in town yesterday. By him we
leans, that the Governor who had been imprisoned,
was tried by a Court-martial, and feuntfuilty. He
k was a partizan of the French, and written tt
Spain, assuring the Provisional Government that the
people would not acknowledge FERDINAND VII.
It is said that Ministers have received dispatches
from Sir HEW DALRYMPLF, in which he takes upon
himself the whole responsibility of the Convention,
and declares himself prepared to justify it as a ir.ea•
sure adviseable and necessary, under all the cirtut-
siances.

in Essex.

The 68th Regiment, under the command of Co•.
lona FARLEY, anived on tha7th inst. at Hithe tar.
racks, in Kent, from Hull. They are nearly com-
plete, and this more indicates the probability of this
tine regiment soon visiting the Theatre of War. Oa
account of their services in the West Indies, his MA.
inn. has been lately most graciously pleased to ho.
nour them with the distinguished appellation of a
Light Infantry Battalion, and are be considered in
future as such.
