•.P Me ancient poem of Floddomfleld having become, en-
tremtly scarce, is now, for the first time,published in an aoth
form, the teat being established by the collation of the different
maxasiripts and-printed copies. Copious notes are subjoined,
as also an Appendix, containing .numerous ancient poems rela-
ting to the battle and its consequences, together with the minute
accounts of the most credible English histcrians. The engravings
of the two standards carried by the Earls of Huntly and Marshall,
• aad the sword and dagger of King James IV are added as appro-
inire emblllisluneots. The whole, it is hoped, will be found an
iteresting commentary to an event, which has lately become so
universally popular, by the publication of Mr. Scott's Marmion.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

GOTTENBUR.GI-1 MAIL.
STOCKHOLM, DEpEMMIR IS.

Will is these last few days nolinelligenee lias been
received from' oar armies. 'The Voluntary Contribu-
rims towards the defence, of the =vary continue to
be numerous, and• their iiigate amount is already
i.wisidorable. General Pain* Stedningk 'has sub-
scribed 1000 rix dollars (about 2.501.), for that pa-
tristic. purpose.
Letters from Vienna state, that the fortifications
which are now coma-acting at Jabionka, bid. fair: to
raise it to sti fortress of the firg rite in Europe. It is
situated in the Principality of Teschent among moms-
. isms at the extremity of a narrow pass, which forms
its connnuniCation with Hungary.
" The same letters mention a circumstance which i$
.not generally-lcnown, namely, that the Military Gen-
tleman who is c.l4elly etiployed by the present Grand;
Vizier to refes-m the Ottoman troops, is an Officer of
suporinr talents, who served many years in the' Aus-
trian Avidy ; he has also introduced the use of the
-bayonet among the Turkish infantry, and meets with
little opposition on the part of the officers and soldiers,
witichalig2ard to the new system of tactics which he is
to introduce.
•

Py ig to what
was before known. Some of t. private letters state,
that his Swedish .MAJBSTY has refold to ratify the
armistice with the. Russiap;sk. QA` whit 'foundation
this statement tests we know General rauceseti,
it appears, had arrived ai Stockholui forfiseli
of personally•ertpleining to his Sasseteige the rowels
which induced thin to accede to' the ronvertttOe
Elio evacuation of Fihland. : ' n
. Letters from Carlsciona mention, thaethe last tea.
voy this season, consisting of.'between 70 and 80
vessels, had sailed from thence on the sth, and that
on the 7th a severe gale, and a heavy fall of 'bow
took place. , A few ships that viers left behind.were
preparing to Sail on 'the Bth.
Other private letters received by the Mail, state,
that apprehensions are entertained of an attack upon
Sweden from the island of Zealand.
It is with deep regret we announce the loss of *,
Majesty's frigate CRESCENT, of 36 guns, Captailr
TEMPLE, in one of the late severe gales on the coal
of Jutland: What renders this misfortune the more
afflicting is, that Captain TEMPLE* and the whple Of
the crew, :With the exception only of about 40
unfortunately perished.
We are sorry also to state, that the JUPITER man of
war, and a transport, have been lost in Vigo Bay.—
The particulars we have not yet learnt.

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM

SPAIN.

J

The long-prevailing E. N. E. winds prevented the
arrival of any vessels with intelligence from Spain.
One vessel has however reached Falmouth, with the
change of wind. The letters have not yet been de-
livered out ; but, if we may credit the accounts from
Falmouth, she brings favourable news. The follow-
ing short letter reached•us just as we were puttip; oar
Paper to press :
" FALMOUTH, DECEMBER LI.
" The ORES TES sloop of war has arrived from Co-
rutin* in eight days. The accounts by this vessel, so
far as we have been able to collect them, are satis-
factory. The 7 amount briefly to this : Accounts
that the British Army had joined had reached Co-
runna. The French were not iu possession of Ma-
drid en the 4th instant."
When the Oarszcs left Corunna on the 14411 inst.
it was known that the French had advanced towards
Madrid, and that they were in possession of the Es-
curial ; but it was reported, and generally believed'
in Gallicia, that the French had been repttbeetViith"
great slaughter in an attack upon Madrid.
Government have receivcd Dispatches kali' :
JOHN MoORE, dated the Bth inst. Sir Jolly, lie un:
derstand, states, that he had not received any posi-
tive intelligence of the progress of the French, but he
had received accounts that Madrid still held out. Sir
Jomi also adds, shat he was taking measures to effect
a junction between his own Army and that of Sir
DAVIth BAIRD.
This is the substance of the dispatches flora Sir
JOHN MOORE ; and the acecnnts from Corunna state,
that he had pushed on a corps to Zamora, for the
purpose of facilitating bis junction with Sir AVDID
BAIRD. When this junction shall have %aken place,
there will be in S pain an united BrAish'' Arspi of

40,000 men. • t. i
• ,
The Army of the Marquis DE ROMANA, which:
is at Leon, amounts to 20,000 men, and is daily;
increasing. I
The reverses sustained by the Spaniards have not
created any feelings of despondency. . i
The LADY PELLZW packet has been dispatched'
from Corunna for Lisbon.

Some additional Dutch Papers have reached us,•
from which we have given a few extracts. It will be
seen, by a letter of the 10th instant, from Frankfort,
that NAPOLEON has not retina in his measures for
augmenting the number of troops to be employed-
against the Spaniards. The Army of Reserve, which
was assembled on the Rhine under Marshall Krizia-
MAN, has received orders to march to Bayonne.,
These Papers report that king Joachim& prepatinti
an expedition against Scicily, but the presence 4.1,111
British squadron in the Mediterranean,
suaded, will be sufficient to deter his Majesty from:
this Enterprize.
