Dispatches have been received frost, Admiral
vis, and from Mr: JAcitsoN, who was left a; SevTe
when the Marquis WELLESLEIC left the seat• of the
Spanish Government. They were brought by tho
NONPAREIL schooner, which has arrived at Plymouth.
Report states that by this conveyance accounts have
been received of a signal victory obtained over tic
French by the Spanish Patriots in the vicinity of
Madrid, which city has been again occupied by the
latter.—We were prepared to expect accounts of the
reoccupation of Madrid, the French, with King
losrini, having retreated towards Tuledo ; but we
do not think there can have been any action of imT
portancel

It is also reported, and we shall be glad to find it
confirmed, that the prospect of the approaching Cortes
has already had 4-effect ta 'infuse a considerable de.
gree of energy into the Spanish cpancils at Seville.
In the preceding columns we have given extracts
from Spanish and Portuguese Papers, and private
letters. One of the latter mentions the arrival at
Lisbon of SO or .40 Troulions iktiallast. We an.
nounced some little tier!! ago that .orticri bad been
issued for the sailing of these-trantports. The con.
fidence with which lone of out rivals denied that
any measure whatever, indicative of a disposition to
withdraw our troops from the peninsula, had Lam
place, made us almost doubt whethef we had rut
been led into a mistake; but we no%x fend we acne
correct :—nor shall we yet abandon the hope that
Ministers are preparing measures for bringin6 bore
our troops from Spain and Portugal.
A Seville article of the IGth states, that an erne
Lion had sailed from Sicily agfinst apart of the Ne.i-
politan territory, and that MunAr had in consequer.ce
, demanded assistance from the French divisions in tit:
Pontifical States. The expedition alluded to is pro 7
bably that which lately sailed for the lonian Isles.

We have also given io another column some fare
ther extracts from French Papers, and from Ameri-
can Papers and letters received yesterday. They
speak sufciently for themselves.

So confident was Lord Councawoon that the Ton,
lon !feet would put to sea, that for seven night; pre.
vious to their venturing out, he had constantly kept.
the deck. In addition to the French vessels, stated
in the official dispatch to have been destroyed
taken, we have to add a brig of war, which sailed
from Toulon at the same time, and has since been
taken.by the iiinwiNo ; she is laden with provi;ionc
end stores.

A. letter has been received from the NiEmcv, of 38
guns, which states that she had fallen in with foul
French frigates steering westward, which she would
li#e attacked had she been accompanied with a con,
Fat. These are no doubt the very ships that sailed
lately from the Loire.-r-What a pity it i* that it sr
much the custom to send single frigates from CO
ports !—The custom of the French has lung bee.::
send two or more out together.

It is the Hon. ix ..'11.1.1 AM WALDiF.CRAYE, brOther ni
