country for France, and no reinforcements are expected. The

seem to consider the struggle in Spain as nearly at a close."
JECTRAC'E OF A LIITTEIt, DATED VINZELLAI 14fARCli 21.
" I cannot an yet say when the campaign will open ; there are
many reportioniti it is thought that operations are to commence
'in May. 'I am sorry to.inforu you that the Army is sickly, and
' that we have in the hospitals about nine thousand ; the Guards
bury from eight to ten men a day at Vizue. The 9th, itch, and
4th reghnents of dragoons are going home. When the campaign
opens, the English and Portuguese will advance with sixty thou-
sand effective men, besides one hundred thousand Spaniards;—
end according to the best information, there will be but little
fighting, as it is the intention of the French to retire on the
Ebro. They are strongly fortifying Buigos."

When we, exclusively, stated the fact, a few months
since, of the arrival of Lord WM.PpLE at Vienna,
most of our contemporaries doubted the accuracy of
cur information, and boldly pronounced the story to
be a fiction. Since the return of Lord WALPOLE to
Lo,idon, however, it has transpired, that his Lord-
ship was actually three weeks at Vienna before his
arrival was known to M. OTTO, the French Minister
at that Court; and it is now acknowledged, that the
first intimation he received on the subject was com-
municated from Paris, by the transmission of the
article, cut out of the STAII, which announced the
important fact. M. OTTO was soon after recalled,
with some expressions of the Emperor's displeasure
for what he was pleased to denominate a want of vi-
gilance. But we have reason to believe, that the
Cabinet of Vienna purposely concealed Lord WAL•
POLE'S residence in Vienna from the French Minister—
an omen by no means unfavourable to the pending.
negotiations with Austria. •

The Kum still continues under the influence of*
slight degree of occasional excitement, though his
bodily health is unimpaired.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a binet Council was
held at the Foreign Office, w sat till between
four and five.

Yesterday Earl BATlrtrxre gave a grand dinner to
the PRINCE REGENT, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the
Cabinet Ministers, and a select party. •
Lord WELLESLEY has for some days past been
confined to his hour by severe indisposition.
Saturday se'nnight, a most magnificent ant sump-
tuous entertainment was given at the seat of Sir
CitaittEs Moncax, Bart. at Tredegar, Monmouth-
shii e, t,n the occasion of his eldest son coming of age.
Upwards of 6000 persons partook of the festivities of
the park, and the poor people in the neighbourhood
were plenteously regaled with bread and ale. In the
evening there was a grand ball and supper, at which
almost all the families of distinction in the neighbour-
' hood were present. At six o'clock in the morning,
pa salute of 21 discharges of cannon were fired at the
Naval Temple, on the Kymin-hill, in compliment to
the family on this happy event.
A Gentle Man reached Town yesterday who has
visited Vienna, and on his return traversed Bohemia,
Silesia, Brandenburgh, and Mecklenburgh, passing
through the armies of this extensive range of country.
The Austrians were on the Upper Vistula 60,000
strong, in the best condition. The Prussians were
principally concentred at Breslaw and Berlin, and on
the whole exceeded 85,000 men, most of them fully
equipped, and in the highest spirits. The Russians
had not more than about 50,000 men in the vicinity
of the Elbe, and the fatigues of the last campaign
made them appear to some disadvantage, when com-
pared with their new companions in arms; but the
artillery was numerous and in complete order, and
the horses attached to it in fine condition. Prince
PONIATOWSKI was at Cracow with 8000 men, in total
inaction. Most of the Polish army was disbanded,
I and the men had returned to their homes.

From Wismar, Lubeck, and other ports in the
Baltic, several merchants in Newcastle have last week
received communications highly interesting to the
public. Notwithstanding the large supplies of corn
and provisions demanded for the armies last year, in
the North of Europe, their surplus stock of grain is
still so immensely great, that wheat and outs have
been offered in exchange for our coals and manufac-
tures upon terms so advantageous, that we may soon
expect to have large supplies in lieu of our super-
abundant mercan. ile commodities. The finest wheat
has been offered to be deliveledin that port at 725. a
quarter,. or 18s. a boll& and the best oats at Y6S. a
qua! ter, or /Is. a boll.
