MADRID, SEPTEMBER 10.

- - -
The King has availed himself of the kind of armis-
tice which the flight of the English and the rebels
leaves in the military operations, in order to take
some repose at St. lldephonso, 12 miles from Madrid',
near Segovia. This palace, which really has nothitV
remarkable except its cascades, is that in which Phi-
lip V. sunk from 400 to 450 nAillions, in order to have
in his neighbourhood some very small appearance of
the beautiful gardens of Versailles. His Majesty in-
tends to pass a few days in that residence ; his prede-
cessors usuallyinhabited that palace during the months
of August and September.
The mountains of Guadarama, which are five.,
leagues from the capital upon the road of France,
served as a retreat for some bands of land-privateers,
who, from time to time, issued forth and plundered
the travellers and couriers ; they had no doubt assem-
bled for some cault de main a few days ago, when they
were surprized and attacked by two detachments of
French and confederate troops, the one from Madrid,
and the other from Segovia. About one hundred
robbers were killed upon the spot, and forty of their
horses were taken.

General Count Sebastiani, whet had remained in
Madrid ever since the glorious battle of Almonacid,
on account of the bad state of his heal.h, has just set
off for an important operation with which his Majesty
has intrusted him. The Adjutant-Commandant
Bouille has been fulfilling the ft rctions of the chief
of the staff, being of the 4th corps, ever since the de-
parture of General Franceschi for France.
Among our wounded at the different victories ob-
tained over the English and the rebels, their allies, a
great many are rapidly getting well, and preparing
tO Muni to their respective corps.
The defeats experienced by the rebels in the South
have produced their' natural effect; they reciprocally
throw the bianse upon one another; and it is asserted
that the dissentions are carried to such a pitch, as to
determinethe Junta of Seville to prepare for quitting
that ray- in order to look for nu* security la Gre-
xida. Vhe removal of old Cuesta is also spoken of,

We have received Dutch Papers to the 2d instant.
From these and the Foreign Journals received yester-
day, some of which did not reach us till a late hour,
. we have given extracts in the preceding columns.
Several of the foreign journals state that the ar-
mistice on the Danube has been renewed, but the
statements differ so much in the particulars, that we
know not what to male of them. From Vienna it is'
stated that it will expire on the 30th instant; from
another place, that it terminates in the sth of No-
vember ; while an article from Erlangen asserts, on
s)light authority indeed, that the Armistice was con-
cluded for a month, with a month's notice of rupture.
Whatever may be the issue of the negotiation, it is
probable that NAPOLEON means to retain Vienna, as
he has established a series of telegraphs extending
from the French frontiers to that capital, and there is
a curious account of the gracious attentions he has
paid to that city. •

•
NAPOLEON is reported to have been seriously indis-
posed at the Palace of Schoenbrunn. Whatever may
be the nature of his complaint, it does not appear to
have confined him, as he has,attended reviews of his
ow* armies in various remote situations; if we may
believe the details on-this subject in the Foreign papers.
By a gentleman who has lately arrived from France,
on whose correctness we can depend, we understand
it to be the fact, that a Courier was dispatched to that
City from Vienna, to require the principal physician
immediately to repair to Schoenbrunn, and the me-
dical professor immediately obeyed the command.
By a letter from Frankfort of the 24th ult. it ap-
pears that the Swedish Embassy which had been for

--,,„....
some time in that city, had taken its dc,parture f,‘
Paris, after waiting there for some time to mccivc
directions froth Vienna. ....
:- In a communication from Bayonne of the 9th of
'September, ft is said that a battalion of Poles, With
aumerout field train, and several detachments stf
;other troops had passed through that town on t4ii•
progress to Spain.
Private advices from Flushing of the 2dinst: star,
that a person had that day arrive 4 from Tergoes,
with advice that the French were 'arming all their
fishing vessels in the Scheidt; with a heavy
gun in
-the bow of each, and were making other preparations
for an attack upon Viralcheren. In the Paris papers
we also find it stated, isialetter him Antwerp of the
21st ult. that 200 gun-boats were shortly expeeteti
there from Boulogne by the interior navigatiu.

The Jane, of Leith, Captain TAYLOR, arrived ;a
Leith Roads on Tuesday last, from Gottenburgb,
which she left on the 18th ult. The Captain i;,.
ports, that. there was a talk of peace with Russi.t en
the 'l6th ; but the- Russians having insisted upon
•shuting the Swedish ports against this country, it
war:said that Sweden had refused upon these terms.
—Upon the 11th there was intelligence of a battle
having been fought between the Swedes and Russians,
:In, which the Swedes were successful. ..Trade vett .

The ship mentioned in the rren. ch Papers to be on
shore near Cherburg, is supposed to be the regn•

1 ieutenant-Colontl Bnidukv, Adjutant-General to
the British Army in Sicily, arrived in town yesterday,

The Earl Of CHATRA.4 presented to his MAJES/T,
at the Levee on Wednesday, the proceedings of tile
army lately under his commarLd is the Expedition to
the Scheldt, from its sailing from this Country tlll,. '
reenrned.to England. Colonel Cense, his Lords!.:...
Secretary, and several Clerks, were closely engaged

Orders were issued on Tuesday for discontinuing
bthe preparations that were making on board eight of
our men of war in the harbour of Portsmouth, which
it is supposed, from the manner in which they were
fitting out, were intended to be sunk in the Scllellt.
General MONNET, the late Governor of W.dcher;:n.,
applied some time ago to BONAPARTE to be relieved
m the Command of that place, statng, that the
climate was so bad, that unless he was removed his
life would be in danger.. BONAPARTE refused his re.
quest in the following laconic terms :---,, At,,, General,
en weed tartoue'" General, people die every where."

'Saturday evening last, 4 ydtmg man a,.sailar, he,
longing to.the Bermuda sloop, in the Dowps, was RD...
fortunately drowned, by falling overboard out of the
boat along shore, and although nearly instantly taken
up and carried to Deal Hospital, where every means
were tried as prescribed by the Humane Society, yet
all unfortunately proves fruitless.
A young lady named Dnrciterr, who resided in
South-street, Paddington road, was., on Monday Lot,
sent up stairs by her mother, on some domestic occa-
sion ; soon after which, her sisters were alarmed by •
her screams, and, on entering the room, found that
the candle had communicate& to her garments, and
she was enveloped in flames. Immediate medical
assistance was procured, but she expired in the CJUZSe
•
of the night.
On the evening of Sunday se'nnight, between seven,
and eight o'clock, some villains entered the house of
Mr. Kennett, butcher, of Broadstairs, broke open a
drawer in the parlour, and took two pocket-books.
containing 301. in notes—no discovery of the offender
has yet been made. '
An affair of great interest, that lately came before
the Special Criminal Tribunal at Metz, attracted .t
vast number of spectators.—M. le Chevalier Bw.l--
masa' Milt, an English prisoner, accused M. Di;
BALM', of forgery, and col: Wk3ALEY, a prisoner also,
es. an accomplice. The *complainant sought payment
.of a bill of exchange for 64,000 francs, accepted by
him, and payable at the house of M. PERREGAULT,
Paris. 'He admitted his signature, but insisted that
the bill, when signed by him, was only for 1000 francs,
which had been since altered to 60,000 francs. A

person acquainted with the hand-writing gave evi-
dence against the accused. The Judges did not con.
ceive the proofs sufficient to substantiate the charge :
in clsequence the Court dismissed the complaint ut
the hevalier BEAUMONT Dixta against Messrs. BAI •
nv and WHALEv, and ordered the parties to pay their
own costs. But as some suspicious circumstances at
tubed to the case, the-Caurt sent the parties before A
Civil Tribunal. .
Monday night, or early. yesterday morning, the
holm of a lady the Omer of Prince's-street, Red.
