Accoralz to the last account; from Iceland, by
the N% ay of IstTa.l.v.ty, it amars that on the Ja-
nuary of tl:is year an E;igiish ship of war arrived in
IFlui'ncf rd, t:te commander of which compelled the
Magistra!es to grant the Ent:Fs]) fill liberty of trade,
whit U they iteerlitinzly irnrroved until the 20th of
win th,y t0,.1: their thparture. On board
of that ship w.s the ty,ted Jorgenson, who acted as
imerpreter ; he soon after returned, and issued pro.
clam:aims in i.tvour of the English, which were
addressed o the Icelanders, in order to seduce them
from their attachment to th,.‘m.,ther country. It is a
wytl kno fact, that in ancient times the English
carried on an important trade with Iceland ; but,
siot.e the beginn;ng of the 17th Century, they discon-
tinued their intercoarse wilt that country.

LISBON, (ICTOBFR 31.

Onr friends in Spain arc a kind of military trunk.
makers, they continue their noise, but do nothing
else ; trey have not gained an inch in the cause since
Nap(l!on v.,•nt, and of course they cannot prevail
when he returns. The war here is at present much
relaxed ; since the affair at Talavera nothing has been
done, nor attempted. At present all the principal
Oil-jeers of OUT at my are here, Wellesley, Beresfird,
Sir &c. and the troops are cantoned on the
frontier ; what theyilooeuid, we do not know, and I
believe they ar • equalty at a loss. If they ho to meet
the enemy, they are in danger of being oppressed
Again by superior force as they were at Talavera.
That day did some credit to our arms, but it was
bought at too dear a rate, such successes would ruin
Its with victories ; many a true Briton, after fighting
like a hero, had to lay himself down like a dog and
die upon the sand at night tier want of provisions and
assi„%ince. In :act, that battle served only to con-
fit m what was known long before, that man to man
bur troops are much supoior to the French. Our
soldiers .ire undoubtedly very biave, and in di:cipline
rot inferior to any in existence, but the best of our
Generals are nsit to be compared with the Marshals of
France. It is hinted, that at Talavera some of our
Brigadicr•GenerAls idl into rristak:s, 31st regi-
ment fuid upoa the 137th. They tvere cevtainly
the time all covered with m)ke, but. that was not the
oelv b:.;:ider :hat hapi.eneti.
. .

It is ircredible how destructive this climate is to
our army, 4:ld it h..s generally the NN MSC erect upon
the stottest. Many of the wen declare that they
r..ther be in the West Indies, for this country
is io dry, and the atmosphere tine alai warm, that
it m -:lts our risen and horses t, death. During our
carr;sai4ri in Porto, ia the spring (ut which I v-rnte
you an 11:cunt) a; the bells gave
the c;:v:iiry green wheat, which kept then ve-y well;
but when we marched into Spain, in 04:2
dry Inning season, we thed:ing for them bat
Indiaa corn, u effect was terrible, you rni,„!.t trace
the 1,-;;I:tc the horses upon ;he toad; it is just
the same :pith d men, they turn faint and pale, and
10-c their s:rength.
I believe, if these kingdoms arl savei, it will be
neither by the English ni r by the inhabitant': ; it must
be by some lucky circumstance calling their enerrries
sway to some other object. The .Lag1:11 are much
too few to c....mbat the legions of France ; and the
people of Spain are unfit Icir war, divided, undisci-
plined, without good leaders, and to appearance sink-
ing into that lethargy in which they have slept for
ages past, and in which they had better have remained
...—Should Spain fall, I do not think we can held out
here ; there is indeed a barrier of mountains from the
river Tagus to the Douro, which could be defended
against a great force, as lorg as the enemy cannot
pass the Morena, which, by &ming t p the Province
of Andalusia, covers the South of Portugal ; but as
Soot as the enemy can pass into the South, we have
no chance, as he Can then erme with ease to the bank
of the Tagus eppo.atel.st..,:i.

LORD COLLINGWOOD'S FLEET.

The reports of a victory having been obtained in
the Mediterranean are so numerous and from such
various quarters, that we can hardly doubt of their
truth. The principal point on which there is a differ-
ence in the statements is the date of the reported en-
gagement.

'We shall not repeat former reports. Our Readers
will therefore recollect that the following are in addi-
tion to statements before received, and therefore en-
titled to the mere attention :

The VAR frigate arrived on Saturday, at Ports-
mouth, from the Mediterranean. She was formerly
a French frigate (the ship taken some time since by
his Majesty's ship BELLE Pout. E) : she sailed from
Malta on the !FL of October, and from Gibraltar on
the ‘29th, with his Majesty's ship FonminaßLE, and
about 40 sail of transports and merchantmen, for
England, but parted company the same day, and has
not since seen them. She is at present commanded
by Lieutenant H. B. SUIT/I, of the Formidable, and
manned by that ship, to bring her to England. Lieu-
tenant SNIMf was informed at Gibraltar, that tlie
Toulon fleet had put to sea, on or about the 21st of
October, but he had not heard of an action hiving
been fought. It was reported at Gibraltar that Lord
COLLINGWOOD'S fleet had been much dispersed in a
gale, and that the VILLE ne PA nis, with several others,
had put into Minorca. The Ttucznett and ZEaLot,s
sailed to join Lord COLLINGWOOD the day before the
VAR sailed from Gibraltar. On the 7th inst. she
spoke his Majesty's ships CENTAUR and WARSPITE,
in lat. 41. O. and long. 11. W. all well, and informed
Sir HOOD of the report that prevailed at Gibraltar
of the Toulon fleet having put to sea. The only ship
left at Gibraltar was the CEIIIALUS.

The following letter was brought by the Woolwich,
arrived at Portsmouth. It is written by an Officer,
who, from his situation, has the best information t

GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER 27.

" Lord Cottircwoo• expects the French fleet out
every moment. Barcelona is said to be in great
want of provisions, and large convoys are coilecwd
at Toulon, Corfu, Marseilles, Burgue, all destined
for that port, and it is expected they will take advan-
tage sof the first strong N.N. gale. Fifteen sail of the
line, French, and one Russian, are in the outer road ;
and it is supposed to be the best manned fleet FiAnce
ever sent to sea. Lerd COLLINGWOOD has withdrawn
his line of battle ships from the Adriatic and Sicily,
and every thing he can collect he is getting with him.
That there will be an action 1 have no douk, provided our
fleet can keep their station."

The hired cutter BRITANNIA, Lieutenant WlLsom,
imun Cadiz, which arrived at Plymouth on Saturday
with Government dispatches, brings intelligence that
the French fleet sailed from Toulon on the 21th Oc-
it:.)er ; that Lord CoLuscwood was known to be in
l:ursait; and that they expected every day to hear of
a battle.
A letter from Scheidam states that accounts had
betm received there from a French ship of war arrived
in the Bay et Maguelona, that " there has been an
action between the English and French fleet, and
convoy &cm Toulon ; the result of which is, that five
French men of war and two frigates arc taken ; two
French men of war driven on shore and burnt, and
the whole of the convoy either captured or destroyed
1 by the English."

Letters from Cette of the 27th October were re-
ceived this morning by a respectable house in the city,
stating the arrival there of the Pauline French frigate,
on the 26th instant, one of the squadron that sailed
under the command of Admiral Bo') Div, which sailed
from Toulon en the 21st ult. The frigate brings an
account of the fleet falling in on the day after
sailing, with a British force of 16 sail of the line,
and that two of the squadron, namely, Le Robuste,
of 81 guns, and Le Lion, of 74, had been driven
on eiore and burnt— that it was hoped the remainder
at the squadron escarNl. The accounts from Cette
speak very much upon this important business, and
c•em to exiresa muzli fear for the remainder of the
. itradrou.,

FRENCH PAPERS.

Just as this Paper was putting to press, we received
Paris Journals, including the Moniteurs to the 9th inst.
from which we make the following extracts :

FON'I gINBLEALY, NOV. I.

The Court here is very brilliant; every morning
there is a levee, and in the evening a concert and ball.
This day his Majesty held a Council with uis Mi-
nisters.

In the evening his Majesty was present at the re-
presentation of I.a Revanche, and one act of the Nina
of Paesiello, in the Theatre d.la Corr.

VIENNA, OCTOBER 29.

It is reported that part of Interior Austria ceded
to France, will form with Croatia and ci-ilevant Dal-
matia, the new kingdom of Illyria, which is to have
a particular Sovereign dependent upon tha Emperor
of the French.

NAPLES, OCTOBER 26.

Letters from Sicily inform us that the news of the
Peace between France and Austria has spread con-
sternation and affright in the Court of Palermo and
among the English Generals. Their distress was much
heightened on hearing of the desperate destruction of
the Spanish Insurgents.

Anglo-Sicilian brigands are daily committing de-
predations on eur coasts. They are generally landed
from English vessels.

MADRID, OCTOBER 22.

General St. Cyr has defeated in Catalonia the army
of General Blake, '23,000 strong. Blake has lost up-
wards of one third of his troops in killed, wounded,l
and prisoners ; his baggage, ammunition, and artil-1
lery, are in the hands of the French. The peasants
have returned to their villages ; the prisoners are on'
their way to France.— (Artick OjEciet)

Preparations are making for the reception of the
Emperor in Spain. The Conqueror of the Danube
will soon add that of the Tagus and Guadalquivir to'
his titles. We are assured that our King has already
nominated the deputation which is to receive his au-
gust brother on the frontiers of the kingdom. The
rebels and their accomplices will tremble at this intel-
ligence; their fear is the hest possible homage to the
genius of him whom nothing can resist.

CAPO D'ISTRIA, OCTOBER 42.
The Prefect Calafati has published the f()llorring
details :.

" In the vicinity of Ontago an eve.tt has dccnrred,
which will hive the e#ect 'to bring b.ck the dizaff:c-
ted to a sense of their dwy, and to c,,nvince the Bri-
gands that death and intorny await their crimes.

" On the 1 tll, at three P M. 111r:"e rr.ver vessels
from Parenr!, havir:g 103 briands hoard, entered
the port cf Omar. Ti•e soidiercnis General Monte.
chi.tri, Captain Nazario and Lieut. Antonio
Pesti, landed at the K. 11.1 of a'.)-tut 33 brigands, in-
vainly began to Ivy c Intributionc and reerts in

the town; hit at five o'Aock a detachmea of Fren-J,
troops, and of the National Guard of Capo d'lstria,
came :H
-; he rands immediately fled. Three vessels
set sail aith.ntt waiting for their comrades,. or the
corm ;btnions they had levied. The chief of arc gapg
and his followers seized the first fishing-boat they
could iay their bands on, but were attacked by two
tilled with French soldiers and the national
guards of Capo d'lstria, who fired upon them almost
muzzle t► muzzle. Almost all .the brigands were
killed, and the soi-disant G.ineraU Montechiari was
made pris..rrr. His real name is Terrier de Manteau,
a French emigrant, and an old officer of engineers,
coy well knewn at Cape d'lstria, where he resided.
when it belonged to the Austrians: An important.
correspondence was seized upon him.
e, The three vessels which escaped with the insur-
gents proceeded to Rovigno, where they imprudently
landed. They entrenched therr.,eNes in the Chapel
of our Lady, but they were cut to pieces by a detach-,
ment sent against them. We have not lost one man.
What lesson I. r the disaffected, the seduCers,
the incredulous, and certain Acly Bret iren, who no
longer direct the consciences, bu: the fury of certain
shameless men !"

PARIS, NOV. 7.
