Public (Am.


I. In the Uonse of Commons last night, after strangers
were exchraledi a most singular scene was exhibited
during the examination of the'Earl of CHATHA re•
. ,
specting the Expedition to Walcheren. : The reports
that have transpired differ a little in the colouring,
but agree in the general features of this extraordinal
occurrence. In the course of the Earl's evidence Mr..
Ft.tuse, who seemed to have dined before coming to
the House, put several questions which were not at-
tended to eitherlnt hil Lordship or the Members.
1 When
.4clship 'withdrew, Mr. FULLER made use
of expressiops highly indecorous, and which brought
down upon him the indignation of the House. The
following is reported to us to be the substance of what
passed on the °Catskill, but, Perhaps, it should be re-

The accounts from CAalonia by the last convey-
late, speak still of exertions and preparations for re-
sisting the enemy. The following report relates to a
Successful skirmidi in the neighbOurhoed of Barcelona :

LISBON, FEB. 17.
Although we have not received any positive infor-
_
respecting the important events which may be
expected to have taken place in the present state of
affairs, yet all the reports which were yesterday cur-
rent, tend to Confirm the well grounded hope that our
independance is not exposed to any danger. We un-
derstand that a powerful succour is to be sent to Spain
from Gre-At Britain ; it is also said that Cadiz is oc-
cupied by a sufficient force, composed of English and
Spanish troops, to secure it against any successful at-
.tack on, the part of the enemy.

• To the General commanding the mops at Esparaguera
• EXCELLENT STR— Agreeable to the orders of your Ex-
cellency to attack the enemy, I this morning commenced it at
Sinn Perpetui, gaining my object so fir, that out of four
. hawked= who occupied that post, only two remained, the re-
mainder being either killed, wounded, or made prisoners. Just
as this action bid terminated, the Division of PORTA arrived,
which, on account of the distance, could not come up 'boner;
and both of us agreeing on our plan, we attacked the troops at
Mohr, Pox TA taking the road to the left, and I that of the
right, the happy result of which was the complete defeat of the
enemy, who saved only between 4 and :300 men, having lost in
lined, wounded, and prisoners, to the number of 900 men, two
pieces of cannon, some carts, one pair of colour; and a quantity
of baggage. .Among the prisoners is the General Commandant
of the division, a Colonel of th 6 cuirassiers, who, with the other
prisoners, I hairy the honour to soul your Excellency.

We this morning received German Papers to the
27th ult. Their contents are not of much interest:
The following private letter from the Banks of the
Elbe, contains the only intelligence worth commu-
nicating :

BANKS OF THE ELBE, JAN. 26.

The rumour of Napoleon's intended marriage to a
Saxnn Princess is now contradicted in an indirect
official way in the Hamburgh Correspondenten, and
other German Newspapers.

The corps of Oudinot, which was to have occupied
the territories of Hanover and Hambuigh, has re-
ceived contrary orders, and is to remain fur the pre-
sent in the South of Germany.

The French force remaining in the territories of
the Confederation of the Rhine, and in other conquered
German countries, not yet disposed of, mill amount
to more than 100,000 men, and this gives rise to a
variety of conjectures. _

" The moment the different Chiefs send me an account of our
less, as well as of the different individuals who haVe distinguished
themselves, I shall transmit it to your Exeellency, for his K.-
}nty's information. (Signed)
" Semanat, Jan. 21,1810. Marquis de CAMPO Valtln."
This day we received Letters and Papers from
l'ortcgal to the 18th, brought to Portsmouth by the
Nom. In this vessel the Hon. Mr. VILLIERS, the
British Minister to Portugal, has come home.to Eng-
land. Dispatches have also been received from Lord
WELLIKGTON.

A number of persons assert that in !ess than a
twelvemonth war will break out between France and
Russia, on account of the disposition of the latter
power towards the Poles in the Duchy of Warsaw.—
Many, well•informed persons seem to give cr.3lit to
this conjecture.

The prices of colonial products continue to rise in
Sweden, Denmark, Hamburgh, and all the North
of Germany, in proportion as the opinion of a rup-
ture between Great Britain and America gains more
ground.
The Danes have this last season gained vast sums
by the free importation of American products into
their ports ; and the speculations formed between them
and the Russians on one part, and the Americans on
the other, for the next year, are such that the mar_
kets of the continent will be so overstocked with Ame-
rican coffee, sugar, indigo, &c. that it will scarce be
possible to dispose of the whole quantity in some years.

The Prince Ernest packet has arrived at Falmouth
from Jamaica, in six weeks, with mails and passen-1
gers. The Surgeon mild one of the crew died on thel
passage, and the PrinceYdrpest has been put under
quarantine.

The first two of the following eittacts are front
private letters; the rest are from PortVtese journals.
