Some private advises have been received from
Paris one day later than the last French Papers, and
up to that day no further intelligence had reached
that capital from the Head-quarters of the French
Army.

The speech of the American President at the Meet-
ing of Congress in August last, is in town. It is
taken from the National intellizencer of the 12th, and is
very long. It breathes a persevering spirit of host
lity to Great Britain. Our limits do not permit us to
give it at length to-day. It shall appear, if possible,
to-morrow.

Chief of the forces on the Bombay establishment.—
None of the regular Indiamen are expected •to sail
hence for any part of India before January or Fe-
bruary. Several homeward•hound Indiamen are ex-
pected to arrive in a short time.
At the examination we stated to have taken place
before the LORDMAYOR, on Saturday, we understand
the Counsel for the parties preferring the charge,
applied for farther delay, on the ground of the ab-
sence of a material evidence ;—this, however, his
Lordship thought proper to decline granting, and
crnceiving. a sufficient case had not been made out,
refused to interfere.

The Committee of Gentlemen at Derby, who had
the management of MrAirmsts's balloon, which tailed
at that place, in consequence of which a riot ensued
among the populace, _have prevailed upon Mr. SAD-
LER to gratify the people there, with an ascent that
will probably be more successful. That aeronaut is
now on his way to Derby with the balloon which
ascended at Cheltenham. He has another of such
dimensions as to be capable of raising twelve men
into the upper regions of the atmosphere ; and with
it he means to. make an excursion across the Channel'
to IrtlAnd.
It is said to be in contemplation very considerably
to extend the Dock yard at Portsmouth. The plan
was submitted to Lord MELVILLE, during his recent
visit, and approved of by the Admiralty and Navy
Boards. A new mast-house is to be constructed in
range with the .South store, extended to the low water
mark. On the north part of Common Hard is to be
erected a wall down to low water mark, inside of
which is to be a boat pound. It is also said, that it
is in contemplation to take that part of the town of
Boma, called tEe New-buildings, into the Dock-
yard. From the same source we have also heard, that
an intention exists of forming, on South-sea Com-
mon, an extensive establisment for the Royal Matinee,
their present barracks being much confined, and in.
capable of affording sufficient accommodation.
The new fortification at Hilsea will be constructed
on Hilsea-green. It will be recollected that Pasha-
spent voted a large sum for the purpose last Session.

at Lord BATHURST'S Office, in-Downing-street, With
dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, containing ac-

which it appears, that the French having concen-
trated their forces, had, on the 13th ult. attacked
his Lordship's advanced guard,. and gained a mo-
mentary advanteie. The enemy, 'however, could
not maintain his new gretind, and afterwards re•
treated beyond the Lobregat. The following Bul-

WAR DEPARTMENT.
" FOREIGN OFFICE, OCT. 6, MS.

a Dispatches have been received num Field Mar-
shal the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Lezaca the
27th ultimo, inclosing reports from Lord WILLIAM
BENTINCK, of tle 15th and 17th September. From

these it appears, that the enemy having collected a
very superior force in front of his Lordship's army,
made attack eusly on the rimming of the 13th,

au.
in the advanced guard posted at the Pass of Ordal.
,g The advance consisted of the 2d Battalion of the
27th Regiment, the Calabrian Free Corps, four Rifle
Companies of the King's German Legion, a brigade

of Portuguese artillery, amounting together to 1100
men, and three Spanish regiments, who, kr several
hours, made a most gallant and successful resistance;
but being at length overpowered by the numbers of
the troops opposed to them, were compelled to give
way.

“ The loss sustained will, it is believed, not prove
ultimately very considerable, as many of those men
who had been compelled to shelter themselves in the
mountains, had since rejoined the army. The rapid
advance of the enemy rendered it necessary to aban-
don two. field pieces and two mountain gulls. On
the 14th Lord W. BENTINCIC deemed it adviseable to
retire the army to Vendrelc, and from thence to the
neighbourhood of Tarragona.

•, The retreat was effected, without any loss, not-
withstanding the attempts of the enemy's superior
cavalry, which were uniformly repulsed by the charges
made by the 20th Light Dragoons, and the Huuars
of the King's German Legion.

The enemy, finding that no impression could
be made, retired on the 17th behind' the Lobregat.
