Yest•zrday afternoon, private accounts were receiv
ed from the Scheldt to the 10th inst. South Beve,
land had been completely evacuated by our troops
two days before, and was instantly taken possession
of by a body of French troops from Bergen-op-Zoom.
One of our men of war's boats having gone thither,
not knowing that it was abandoned, was captured by
the enemy.
The 1.5,000 British left for the retention of Wal-
chern are reported to be so very sickly, that the real]
efficient force cannot be estimated so high as 10,000'
men. The sth Regiment has 22 Officers sick; the
159th, 17 ; and the 32d, 13—and all the regiments
suffer more or less from the endemic complaints of
the country, and which, according to the statement
of the natives, may be expected to prevail still more
generally in the month of October.
Sush facts as these will certainly occasion some in-
cuiries to be made, how fAr it may be prudent to per-
were in the original intention of retaining \Val-
cheren,—That the enemy can bring an immense force
against the island, is a self-evident preposition, but

our loops no other evils to contend with, hopesmight
he 41 tertained that NArotroN would never succeed
in regaining possession of the island. But the troops
and Generals of the most powerful enemy cease to be
formidable when compared with the. ravages oft
disease ; and what it might be deemed cowardly col
abandon to an enemy on other motives, it may be,
politic and humane to sacrifice to considerations which
affect the health, the strength, and the efficiency of
Our army.

Some of the private accounts from the army under
Lord WaJziNcroN state the want of carriages to have
been such as to induce his Lordship to destroy, in
his retreat, nearly the whole of the ammunition, in
order to convert the waggons into carriages for his
sick and wounded, who were very numerous. •

Badajos Diaries of the 27th ulc. being two days later
than thole previously received, have jnst arrived, the
only article of interest in them is the following :

TAI ABAN, AUGUST 10,

An Officer of the Plasentia Volunteers, who has ar-
rived here, and who left Puerto de Banos the 11th
inst. states that be saw at the said place, the division
of Sir Robert Wilson engaged with the French from
the 10th to the 11th, and that it became necessary
for him to retire towards the Sierra de Francia, by
the town of Monteinayar, in the road of Ciudad Rod-
rigo; that in the attack the regiments of Seville and
Merida distinguished themselves, particularly the Ist,
sd, and sth companies of the latter, repulsing the rrenc h
cavalry, and causing considerable loss to the enemy,
whq ifterwards proceeded to Salamanea, in number
15,ec0 men, with corresponding artillery, leaving in
Placentia 3000 infantry, and about 2000 cavalry in
Palistio.

He adds, that Sir Robert Wilson killed two French,
men with his own hand-That the Marquis de la Ro.
mane was at Benerente on the Ist of this month,
pushing his advane. d posts, composed of the chits.
seurs of Castile, and the Queen's cwrilry, within a
few leagues of Saliumanca. The said
passport from Sir Robert Wilson, and proceeds for
our head-quarters.

From Buenos Ayres we have received acconats to
the 21st of June. The intercourse with Rio ire 14
Plata had been much impeded from an unexpected,
cause. The Custom-house Officers had disputed
among themselves, as to the reward they should exact
from the merchants for the privilege of /ending their
commodities, and until these gnethave should adjust
their discordant interests trade was suspended.
It has long been a desideratum with the possessors
of the Cape of Good Hope, to promote an extensive
intercourse with the numerous tribes which inhabit
the Southern Districts of the vast Peninsula of Africa.
On this subject we have been favoured with a letter,
of which the following is an extract

A letter from Cadiz of the 28th ult. contains tl
following particulars, which will be interesting to cu:
mercantile readers
t‘ several altenitions have taken place in the Spanish CUS`err,
Roue Department, favourably to British Commerce. Besides tbr
admisiion of all mama manufactured good* (hitherto r Tomos:,
prohibited), a great deduction has taken place in the curies on
woollen and other goods. Neveloundland fish only pays 27 teals
of ve!lon, Instead of 45 American ; and Norway fish are es:lac.ed
irom those indulger:clef,
" '1 hese cessio3s, so highly 'favourable to British trade, it is
presumed tvill induce the gnvernmerit to pot the products of Simla
on an equal footing with the most favoured nations, particularly
in the article of Spanish red wines, which pay the enotamottsdaq
of in per ton, more than wine Isom Portugal.
" With repect to Foreigners trashily!, to aouth Arruri.a, no re.
lazatio4 has taken place, or alteration made in the hunter regit-
lations.

. The arsenal of Ferrol is„ as far 'as beauty and con,
venience can make it, most complete, -and defended
by a single-tier battery of 12J pieces of cannon, of S 2,
pounders. The storehouses ;ire capacious and well-
fitted; the basin is extensive and land-locked, with
slips for thirteen sail of the 1: ne, but there are two only

A magnificent Commercial Ccifee-room, on the
plan of the Atheneum at Liverpool, is about to be
immediately erected at Bristol, by the mi:rcharts of
that city.
The demand for sugars these last two months, :-a
Liverpool and Bristol, has been unprecedented, and
1 the sale prices far higher than the most sangiare
West India proprietors could expect, A great 1.
portion of the new sugars is already cleared from the
bonded warehouses, and many merchants at inipui-
union paid immediate duties on their consignmui:s.
The market has been somewhat influenced by ex-
portations to our depots on the coasts of Holland and
Germany ; but the greet cause of the rapid rise in the
price of sugar, must incontrovertibly be attributed to
that very politic and seasonable law, which now inter-
dicts the distiiiatwon from corn, and which, at such a
juncture as the present, when all the European world
wlthlwids her produce, every firm friend to his coun-
try cannot vish to see extended.
With those who are unacquainted with the enter-
prise of the merchants at
