Sinte oar last, we have received a great variety of
Foreign Journals ; Seville Gazettes to the 28th ult.
German Papers to the 13th inst. Paris to the 14th,
and Dutch to the 17th inst.

The Spanish Papers contain a proposition from
JOSEPH BONAPARTE to the Central Junt, that Depu-
ties should confer on the means of preventing that
ruin and desolation in the South, which had involved
in misery the North of Spain. This ostensible rea.
son was, however, obviously intended to conceal the
true one—namely, in the present state of imbecility
of the French armies, to gain time until the war in
Austria should be terminated. The Proposition and
the Answer will be found in our columns ; and it
will be acknowledged, that the Central Junta has
d:splayed that integrity, courage, and independence,
in the exercise of their exalted duties, which is wor-
thy the dignity of the Spanish name.

The Dutch papers contain five more Of ,the Aus.
trian bulletins, bringing down the operations to the
27:h ult. ; but they are poor compositions, and far
from satisfactory in their details. These journals also
contain the sth and 6th French Bulletins. The sth
gives an account, in the usual style of French de-s
clamation, of an affair at Ebersberg on the 3d inst.
in which 35,000 Austrians are said to have been
defeated by 7000 Frenchmen. The Gth Bulletin
recounts nothing but some desultory circumstances
connected with the war. While no reliance can be
placed on the details of the hattlisk we unhappily
see no reason to doubt that the progress 'of the
enemy is such as he represents it to be. NAPOLEON
has taken the course of the Danube, and on the
Bth inst. had fixed his h,!ad-qtiarters at St. Polten.
We fear that we shall too soon learn of his being
ngain in possession of Vienna. In the mean while
the Archduke CHARLES continues in Bohemia.---•
PONTE Coavo, we are told, far from fearing an attack
fr, m the Archduke, has entered E,gra. Gloomy as
appearances are, there are still luminous points in the
map of this portion of Europe. It is evident that
Colonel ScHILL's irregular resumption of hostilities has
been attended with serious and even alarming conse-
quences
to the new King of Westphalia.
In the Tyrol, also, the power of loyal attachment
to an ancient but unfortunate family has displayed it-
self ; and in Italy the Austrians, as far as the accounts
reach us, have been successful ; and th:•y did hope
to coalesce with the Tyrolese patriots.

By the SUPERB sloop, which arrived at Yarmouth
from Heligoland, on Saturday morning, some ac-
counts of a satisfactory nature have been received.—
By these it appears that the spirit of insurrection
against French domination and oppression is more
formidable in the North of Germany than we could
have hoped possible.
The force under VON ScutoL, consisting of Hes-
sians, Prussians, and Hanoverians, is stated at from
40 to 50,000 men. The 9th Dutch regiment, chiefly-
consisting of Prussians, which had recently marched.
from Hamburgh to Cassel, had gone over to Scintu.,
vith most of .their officcrL. In New Halciejslchen,
two leagues from Magdeburgh, Scuti.t. seized the
royal chests on the 7th, and had excited the greatest
alarm in the neighbourhood. The KING of NVEST
:!AL!*, by a Decree dated from Cassel, the sth, de.
•.L...cd him an outlaw, and offered 10,000 francs for
apprelvmsion.
Di:,pitches 'have beein received by the SUPERB,
.athich, according to report, contain some particulars
still more interesting. The rumour is, that the insur-
gent troops, of which the grea:er number are repre-
sented to be Prussians, have actually driven tic Frvich
•;:d of Hanover, and are carrying every thing before
them in that quarter.
The dispatches were deemed of so much impor-
tance, that the SUPEaB came away the moment the
Messenger was received on board, without even wait-
ing for ballast.

A Gotterburgh Mail has also arrived : the Swedish
papers received on this uccasion contain a manifesto
or statement of facts, published by the Duke of Su-
Du:tam/4 with the view.of justifying the late revo-

AMERICA.

By the Rosamosnd Packet, from New York, ar-
rived at Portsmouth, we have received Newspapers to
a late date. Their contents are important. They
contain the official Correspondence between Mr.
ERSKINE and the American Minister, in contempla-
tion of the British Orders in Council being revoked.
The hour at which they reached us prevents our in-
serting them this day ; but our Readers will learn the
result from the subjoined
