A division ofehe French army in Germany is ex-
pected every moment to occupy Hamburgh and its
dependencies, for the purpose of preventing every
possibility of the merchants trading in English, or
perhaps even Any other colonial produce. The line
of the French customs at Hamburgh, Bremen, and
Lubeck, is also to be tripled. A French Decree or
Order is said to have arrived, or. tile on the way,
according- to which no colonial produce whatever,
whether American or English, is to pass the French
line of Custom-house officers at Hamburgh, coming
from Altona or any part of the Danish territory.

broke up in several places, anstiollowed them up,
fighting all the way, as far at in front of Malaga,
v:here they rallied and joined an immense mass of
insurgents, having with them I numerous train of
artillery, and a detachment of cavalry. It was now
four o'clock in the afternoon ; the infantry were still
at a distance ; and General Sebestiani, anxious to
spare those wretched people, sent them three flags
of truce to summon them to lay down their arms ;
but instead of making a proper return to his generous
receding, their mass put itself in motion, and ad-'I
vexed to attack the column, at the same time that
t'ei commenced a very brisk fire of artillery and
rra:Ketry. General Sebastiani seized this critical
moment, and ordered a charge of cavalry, which car-1
r:;:d cw:y thing before it ; 1500 insurgents, includ-
ing a number of priests and monks, were killed on
the spot, and the troops entered the city intermingled
wiih the fugitives. The firm was kept up in (bit

pl.oe to fear, the fighting ceased, and the inhales
elan si7el7itted. This affair, which does the great-
est honour to the cavalry, cost us the loss of 30 men.
" General Sebastiani, in his report, mentions
with distinction the General of Division Milhaud,
and solicits for him the rank Of, Goad Officer of the
Legion of Honour, of which be has rendered him-
sell worthy by his excellent conduct in several me-
morable actions during the

cannon of various. calibres, and.% peat quantity of
ammunition and stores of every kind. There Was
a train of 23 field-pieces, whlciVemas on the point of
being sent off to Tarragona. There were only 2.5
vessels in the harbour soiree English ships of war
which had been there, had the precaution to cause
such as they wished to carry with them, to put to
sea before they could be seized. The English suer-
chandize at Malaga was put under sequestration.
An inventory will be taken, and a report of the con-
tents transmitted.
", The occupation of Malaga is, at this moment,
of great importance. It completes the submission of
the province of Grenada, and completely cuts off that
part of -the country which is contiguous to Gibraltar
and Cadiz. It is, therefore, probable. that it will
influence the determination of the inhabitants of the
latter place. The effect produced by this event is so
much the greater, as the next day the inhabitants of
Velez de Malaga arrested the Chiefs of this new insur-
rection, and delivered them over the Imperial army,
'int a request that they should be punished.
" Marshal the Duke of Treviso has reported from
Los Santos, on the road of Estremadura, that the
troops of the sth corps had, on the 9th, established
themselves there, and at Zaffa, from which they
pushed reconnoitring parties in the direction of 111-
dzioz an..l Merida. He continued to collect artillery,l
ammunition, and provisions', left behind by the 'hie
su,rgents ; lie also found several posts abandoned,
nth the insurgents had strongly entrenched. To-
mow the sth corps will be on the Guadiana, where
trill obtain information of the movement of the 2d

I have the bono.rr to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
loterday, requesting, for the reasons therein mentioned, that
wig state to you the impression which our interview with the
of Chatham on thy2eth of August made on my mind,
with reference to the bather advance of the Army. In reply
thereto, I have the honour to state, that I did consider the °pi.,
in of I.nrd Chatham and the General OfftcQrs en that day con-
clusive of it
no founded es it appeared to be on very
strong reasons, not to advance : and In proof of its being so con-,
std. .ed at that time by yourself, I remember on tore walking front
Head -quarters year mentioning to me your intention of wi iting
immediately to England, and asking me whether Ildid not cowl-
der it necessary that the earliest informativn should be given to
Government of the measure, to whic I replied in thp affirma.-
tin. But it may be proper here to obh serve, that when on the
esth I agais accompanied you to Head-qu.n ters, Lord Chatham
expressed considerable surprise at your having wrote to England
to the effect you informed him you had done, his Lordship ob-
serving, that the discussion pf the 26th was only conversation
