The dispatches received yesterday from the Marquis
WELLESLEY are dated the 15th ult. at which time his
Lordship was making preparations to return to Eng-
land. It is now understood that on his arrival he
will hold a high situation in the Government.—Our
troops in Portugal arc represented as much improved
in health. The French army under SOULT remains
at Orapcssa and Arcebispo--Nny's at Salamanca.
A considerable French force had advanced to La
Mancha. The Spaniards had taken a position at the
foot of the Sierra Morena mountains.

Yesterday evening two Gottenburgh Mails arrived,
bringing letters from Stockholm to the 15th, and from
Gottenburgh to the 21st ult. We also received letters
from on board the convoy off Carlscrona, with the
important information that the Baltic Fleet had passed
the Belts, and no doubt was entertained that it had
reached Gottenburgh. The letters from that port
of the 20th, however, do not mention its arrival, bat
observe, that it was daily expected.

Our Memel Correspondent acquaints us, that a few
ships yet remained in that harbour and at Riga,
which were loading their cargoes with the utmost ra-
pidity, to prevent their being detained by the ice. We
presume that nearly all of them have before this time
taken their departure.

A bag of letters from Heligoland also arrived to
the date of the 27th ult. with accounts from Holstein
to the 22d. From these it appears that ALEXANDER
had not then given his assent to the Treaty between
FR4NOIS and NAPOLEON ; and further, that the first
four Propositions made by NAPOLEON were rejected
with disdain by his unfortur.ate competitor, as tend•
ing to annihilate his power and to degrade his family.
The continuance of the French army in such prodi-
gious force in the neighbourhood of Vienna is attri-
buted to the doubts entertained as to the conclusive
character of this diplomatic arrangement; and the
reason assigned for avoiding its public notification,
according to the established forms, is the delay of the
sanction to its conditions expected from the Emperor
of Russia.

At Hamburgh trade is more brisk than it has been
for some time ; but the merchants are obliged to sub-
mit to grievous extortions by custom-house agents.
A letter from Emden (given in another column),
points out another kind of interruption from our own
men of war, which of course Ministers have the power
of remedying.—This is not a season in which impedi-
ments of the nature alluded to can be permitted !
We have also received Spanish Papers to the 16th,
Paris to the :.'6th, and Dutch to the 29th ult.
By the Spanish papers it appears that General
BLAKE, after a warm action on the 23d of Septem-
ber, succeeded in throwing abundant supplies into
Gerona. The consequence of this second relief was
the retreat of the covering army of the French to a
considerable distance from that town. They are also
said to have manifested intentions to raise the siege.
We shall be happy in the confirmation of these ex-
pectations; for, brave as the valiant defenders of
Gerona undoubtedly are, we much fear they are ul.
timately destined to the fate of their immortal bro-
thers, the heroes of Saragossa. If the French are
allowed to carry on their operations against the body
of the place, we can hardly hope that it will be saved
by these occasional succours of men and provisions.
Of the principal Spanish Army these papers say
' little or nothing—but they state that the Toulon fleet
has put to sea, for the purpose of throwing succours
into Barcelona. If this statement be correct, we may
I expect shortly to receive some important advices, as

to watch the motions of the enemy in that
