Every Schoolmaster and Governess will hail the appearance of
a Work which has brought the English Language within an at-
tainable compass, by expunging what was improper, useless, of
redundant in the Dictionary of Entick. The Language has, by
this means, Wen reduced from Sixty Thousand to litt:e more than
Ten Thousand Words, and the whole may consequently be
committed to memory in less than three years. For the convt-
Mazer of the Tutor and Pupil, every word has been divided and
accentuated; and this Dictionary, for the purpose of 'Teachers,
possesses in consequence a manifest superiority over every other.

FRENUI PAPERS.

AMSTERDAM, SEPTEMBER 8.

His Majesty's answer to the addresses of the dif-
ferent public bodies this day, on the eve of his anni-
versary, was dignified and impressive. In rpoticing
the late attack on the islands of Zealand, his Ma-
jesty said, The invasion which hai afflicted them
could have been foreseen • but the grand struggle
on the banks of the Danube,: so gloriously termina-
ted, by France aria the Emperor my brother, im-
posed upon us the necessity of undergoing that dan-
ger, while the great interests of Europe required the
momentary absence of our troops, who in Spain
and Germany have covered themselves with so much
glory."
SEPTEMBER 12.—An English cutter has just been
taken and carried into Rotterdam.
The inhabitants of Ziticzee, and of the Isle of Scho-
wen, have received, with every mark of joy, the troops
sent by Marshal Verheull.
With the exception of the Isle of Walcheren, all
the Islands of Zealand are occupied anew by the
Dutch troops. Marshall Verheull has manoeuvred
with his squadron, to cover and facilitate the passage
of the troops.

SF. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST IL

The place with Sweden appears to be very nearly
concluded. The Count of Romanzow, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, set out ten days since for Frede-
ricshamm, the ancient boundary between Russian and
Swedish Finland, where the Baron de Stedingk, the
Swedish Ambassador, was waiting for him.
The Emper, r is so completely recovered from the
effects of the fall which he had in his cat riage a fort-
night ago, when he received a slight hurt in his arm
and leg, that his Majesty has already appeared in
public on horseback. The Court still resides at Pe-
t,:rliof. The English squadron continues to cruize off
Revel, but it has not ventured Le commit any act of
hostility.

FLUSHING MAIL.

The Lord Duncan has arrived at Harwich with a
mail and a number of passengers, chiefly Officers,
many of whom are in ill health.
The return of sick when the packet came away,
was about 8,000. The sickness among the troops,
we are happy to state, did not seem to be gaining
ground.

DIEPPE, SEP I'. 14.

nades from 12 to 18-pounders. The plivateer and
her prize hive entered the roads.
In this affair Captain Balidar had only one man
killed. The English had 14 killed and wounded.—
Capt. Balidar was gallantly supported by his crew.

ANTWERP, SEPT. 14.

The works for strengthening this place arc conti-
nued. The battery called Imperial is completed. It
would reduce to dust any thing that dare to approach
it. The Dutch have erected a battery in South Bo-
veland. They found this island totally abandoned by
the English, and have picked up only about a dozen
stragglers, whom they made prisoners.

SPAIN.

Letters and papers have been received from Cadiz
by a private 'vessel, one day later than those by the
packet received last week. One of the letters states,
that an officer in the German Legion, acting in Spain,
whose name we avoid giving for the present, has
abandoned his duty, and forfeited his honour, by
going over to the enemy.
We are concerned to be obliged also to state, that
there continues to prevail at that pert the same bigot-
ted persuasion of the perfect security of Spain, under
all the experience of the successes of the enemy, and
of the reverses and disappointments of the Patriots.
This ignorant confidence we consider to be one of the
most dangerous symptoms of the fall of Spain, as it
necessarily prevents the application of that vigilance
and energy for the defence of the country, on which
its salvation appears to us to depend.

General CUESTAPS account of the Baffle of Tala-
♦era will be read with interest. He gives due credit
to British valour, and to the Commander under whom
it was displayed.

SPAIN.

Important and interesting intelligence was received
this morning by Government. The precise particu-
lars we have not been able to learn, but the news is
from the Eastern Provinces of Spain, where the Spa.
niards have gained some signal advantages over the
enemy. Not only the strong city of Barcelona, the
capital of Catalonia, but Mont Joy, the fort by which
it is defended, posited on a rocky mountain about a
mile to the west of the City, has surrendered to the
Patriots under General REDING. This success was
followed by the immediate retreat of the French, not
only from the whole of Catalonia, but from all the
Eastern Provinces of the Peninsula ; and a solemn
thanksgiving had in consequence been observed
throughout the Spanish armies.
In one of the neighbouring provinces, in which the
French had attempted to rally, report says, they were
again attacked by the Spanish peasantry, who, after
three days hard fighting, had entirely annihilated the.
whole body.
Such are the accounts said to have been received ;
and should they prove correct to half the extent stated,
we shall hail the event as a happy omen of future
victories.

Spanish Papers received yesterday, contain a Pro-
clamation from the Junta of Seville to the Inhabitants
of Cadiz, in which the latter are mildly reproached
for the late disturbance, and exhorted to continue in
their allegiance to FERDINAND. Another proclama-
tion to a similar effect has also been published by the
Governor.

SPANISH TREATY.

Mr. Secretary CANNING presented a Copy of the Treaty of
Peace, &c. concluded between his Majesty aid Ferdinand VII. of
Spain. Ordered to lie on Table.

SWEDEN.

Mr. WHITBREAD rose to ask the Right Honourable Gentle-
man whether the news in circulation relative to a Revolution in
Sweden was true, and also whether ally, and how much of the
subsidy granted to Sweden, under a Treaty lately in negotiation
wititahat Governmen., had been actually paid)
Mr. Secretary CANNING answered, that with respect to the
first part of the Honourable Gentleman's question, he was not
now prepared to give him any accurate information; and with
respect to the latter, he could only say that the House was aware
that a Treaty of Subsidy and Alliance was, for some time, in ne-
gociation between his Majesty and the Kini, of Sweden, in con-
sideration of which, the House had voted a subsidy, to be ad-
vanced in certain proportions monthly, to his Swedish Majesty ;
that the treaty had been for some time concluded, and only waited
for the definitive signature of his Swedish Majesty, which it had
since received ; and a copy would have been laid before the House
this day, but for the intelligence alluded to by the Honourable
Gentleman, which had reached this country. He therefore de-
ferred, for a few days longer, to lay it before the House, when,
in all probability, it would come accompanied by some commu-
nication from his Majesty. With respect to the subsidiary ad-
vances, they had not been carried into effect beyond their natural
1
period.

BRITISH BREWERIES.

Mr. WHITBREAD observed there was a Committee now sit-
ting up stairs on the subject of the Intercourse of Distilled Spirits
between Great Britain and Ireland; and as it was tnderstood the
interests of the British Breweries were likely to be affected by the
arrangements founded upon this subject, between the two coun-
tries, he hoped there would be no objection to his moving now
an instruction to the said Committee to extend their enquiries :o
the regulations that govern the Intercourse of Heel between the
two countries.
After some observations from Mr. FOSTER and Mr. WHIT-
BREAD, it was agreed to defer his motion till a future day.

PASTE.—T. DELCROIX has prepared the above valuable
Soap Paste, ftom a recipe of Mr. Brosknsky, his friend, an emi-
nent Chemist in Warsaw, who is the sole inventor of this precious
composition, which has been universally approved of by persons
of the first rank, inhabiting that bleak and frozen country, for
softening, nourishing, and whitening the skin, and allowed to be
a certain preventive agaikst the cold air chopping the face and
hands; au agreeable perfume, and-a most pleasing and efficient
soap for shaving. This article cannot he off. red at a more prop_•r
time than in the winter season, when a trial of two days will
prove its peculiar virtues as well as its superiority over any dis-
covery of the kind ever presented to the public. Sold wholesale

PORTUGAL.

His Majesty's ship SUCCESS has arrived at Ports-
mouth with dispatches from Malta, which place she
left on the 2d instant.
The•GLEANER ketch, Lieutenant GREEN, has ar-

rived at Plymouth, with dispatches from Lisbon,
which have since reached town ; and the Princess
Charlotte Packet, in six days from Lisbon, has ar.
rived at Falmouth.

General SHERBROOKE'S division, as we have before
stated, had arrived at Lisbon, making the British

force in that citiattei amount to &iris eighteen to
twenty thousand men:
On the 6th inst. one of the ttaitvortis tietontint td
General SHERBROOKE'S expedition (the Prince George)
ran down.an Arab-lean bark in the night ; the Captain,
of the name of Mnsos, and his crew, jumped on b.:tard
the transport, except one man, who was,asleepbelotV.
The transport had just cleared herself of the wrecki
when in the confusion, the Prince George ran on board
the Isis frigate, and remained some time athwart haw-
ser, when her mizen-mast was carried away. The
soldiers and crew of the transport attempted to jump
bn board the Isis : Colonel HULSE, Captain CluttsTlE,
and about fifty of the Coldstream Guards, succeeded
in getting on board ; but Ensign LONG, and two or
three ptitates, fell overboard, and were drowned.—
Captain MASON and crew of the American succeeded
in getting on board the Isis. Captain MASON states,
that lie was boarded by the Wang,' rE, Of 71 guns,
one of Sir JOHN DI:CKWORTII's squadron, off Cape St.
Vincent ; and that on the night of the ,Ity before, be
was hailed by a line of battle ship, in French. The
people on board appeared to be in great confusion,
and desired him to heave-to; but Captain MASON,
seeing that the French man of tvar could not readily
take her sail in, pursued his course ; and on the fol.
lowing morning he saw two sail of the line steering
Ifor the Gut of Gibraltar. This intelligence Captain
MASON communicated to the WARSPITE.

We have before stated that the Marquis de Ro-
/JANA had retreated upon Chaves in good order. The
accounts now received are rather confused but so
far as we can understand them, he has since retreated
from that quarter, which seems now to be occupied
with a French force of about 7000 men. It appears,
by some letters, that RONIANA has proceeded towards
Lisbon, proposing to unite with the British and Por-
tuguese in that quarter, and to act in conjunction with
them against the common enemy.
The French were reported to be in the neighbour-
hood of Oporto, if not in possession of the place, but
had not approached Lisbon at the departure of the
GLEANER.

FRENCH FLAG OF TRUCE.

When the Mail left Dover last night, a French
Flag of Truce was coming into the Bay. It is pos-
sible her dispatches relate to something else than an
exchange of prisoners, as it had been ascertained, by
a boat which she sent in, that she had on board a Rus-
sian Messenger from Calais. Mr. MANTELL, the
agent for prisoners of war, went off to bring the
Messenger on shore, and was just landing when the
Mail c:mie away.

Cilia BUSIN.M.

Yesterday a Court of Comninn Council was held at
Guildhall, to take into consideration the Report of its
Committee, appointed to settle the best mode of ce-
lebrating the appro.7ching Anniversary of his Majesty's
Accession to the Throne.
Mr: MARaJOTT rose to complain of the misrepre-
sentation of some of his expressions at the last Court
of Common Council, as they had been reported in
some of the public prints of the following day. If
he had wished to retort, he Would have moved, that
the Bar sh.'uld be cleared ; but he thought that would
be too personal ; and whatever those people might
think of his religion, it was his rule to return good for
evil. He meant nothing more when he talked of a
cursed cold church, than he would, were he to say, that
one of his friends was a cursed fine fellow, or a cursed
queer felkw.
Mr. Deputy KEMBLE contested he was sorry to see
that on many occasions a slur was cast on the Pro-
c.-edings of that Court. He remembered, however,
that the expressions alluded to were received with
marks of indignity ; and he was now happy to hear
some apology for them.
Mr. GuiFFmts called on the Gentleman (Mr. Mar-
riott), who was so scrupulous about his expressions,
to make an apology for a very unbecoming expres-
sion he had applied to him, on the former day, when
he simply reminded the Chair that the Gentleman
had already spoken on the question, in desiring him
to mind his own business. When the disposal of
50001 per annum of the CorpoEttion funds was. the ,
question under consideration, he had understo9d that
to be the business of every .Member of the Court.
This produced no answer.

The Thanks of the Court were then voted to the
Rev. S. Birch, Chaplain to the Lotd Mayor, for his
Sermon on Michaelmas Day last. The sermon was
ordered to be printed, and copies to be presented to
that Court, and to the City Officers.
A letter was presented from the Lord Mayor Elect,
signifying his willingness to take upon him the office.

Mani► persons have felt a disinclination to pitrchate
Tickets and Shares in fernier Lotteries, from the
great length of time which the drawings had used to
occupy, which necessarily kept the adventurers a long
time in suspence as to the fate of their numbers ; this
objection is now done away—the whole Lottery (con-
sisting of only 5000 Numbers) is to be drawn in One
Day, when the immense sum of £-200,000 will be
distributed in Prizes, including Four of Twenty
Thousand Pounds each.

By only laying out a few pounds, as malty thou-
sands can be obtained, which never could before the
present day have happened ; the object is great, and
the risk so trifling, to those who can afford to try
their success, that no one can hesitate in becoming an
adventurer : as such, HonNsBY and Co. hope their
friends will not delay purchasing Tickets and Shares,
the demand far surpassing any former Lottery. A
supply of Two, Three, or four Tickets of a Number
may be had at No. 26, Cornhill, and St. Margaret's
Hill, Borough.

DONCASTER RACES.

At the tate Meeting, in the match on Saturday se'nnight, be-
tween Sir Petrone!! and Florival, for the Gascoigne Stakes of
200 r. each, just after starting and running a short distance, Flu-
rival turned quickly round, and returned back, and before he
could be stopped, Sir Petroneil had gained so much ground, that
it was unnecessary to attempt to start hint again.
In the match on Monday, for the St. Leger Stakes, won 1)y
Ashton, when 14 <tarted, six of whom were distanced, Ashton
took the lead, was never headed, and won easy. Lizettc went
cif second.

In the match on Wednesday, between Ashton and Ceres, for!
the Doncaster Stakes, both riders having received orders to wait.
they walked for about a quarter of a mile, when Ceres went off
in a slow canter, and Ashton trotted after her, when some smart
running took place, but, notwithstanding, Ashton won uncom-
monly easy.
. _

In the match on Thursday, for the .£lOO, won by Whitworth,
beating Rover, Petronius, Lingodale, and Charcoal, Petronius
won the third heat ch verly ; but his rider wanting about 411
ounce of weight, and his horse being led away before it was dis-
covered, it became a disputed question whether the rifler was
entitled to weigh with the bridle or not. The Stewards, in con-
sequence thereof, consulted with several respectable and uninter-
ested gentlemen, when it was agreed, that as Petronius was led
away from the weighing stand, his rider was Lot entitled to the
weight of tLe bridle, the horse was, of course, deemed distanced,
and the Plate given to Whitworth.
