The depredations committed by the French priva-
teers on uur shores have frequently of late been a sub-
ject of complaint ; and now that the long winter
nights have commenced, we trust that our cruizers
will be duubly vigilant. The following letters from
Dover and Deal present a &only picture of what is
now passing in the Downs.

a Dover, November ID.

‘, Came in, the Minerva of Weymouth, bound to
London, Wnws master : she was taken on Sunday
last off Dungeness by a French privateer, and since
retaken by the WOOLVERINE sloop of war. The
Captain of the Minerva states, that when he was cap-
tured, there were sthuteen other French privateers seen
making great havoc among the fleet that sailed from
the Downs on Sunday evening. Five o'clock—A
French privateer has just taken a ship off here."

" Deal, November 19:

Arrived, the Chatham, Captain COWES, from
Portsmouth, after beating off a French privateer.—
CApt. C. andalso some of his crew, are wou Aid,"

Paris Papers to the 12th instant readied us this
morning. They are entirely filled with different Ad-
dresses presented to BONAPARTE on his journey. On
the subject of Spain and Portugal they are entirely
silent. We have given a few ertrzcts from these
Papers, but they ale not of much importance.

The Jane has arrived in the Downs from Ne YeA k,
conveying letters from that city of the 20th ult. and
Papers from Philadelphia to the 16th. The Phila-
delphia Papers have a very long address from Judge
Tot LPUNI on possession being taken, by the United
States, of the territory on the Mobile river. By a
dispatch from thence, it appears that the Fort of Mo.l
bile, and abmit eight miles circuit of country, were all
that remained under the Government of the Spaniards.
The Aurora, of the 15th ult. under the title a
" Inhuman Villainy," inserts a long Declaration from
a Seaman, who came to England in 1797, left his
ship, was impressed on board a BtitiJs man of war,
and from causes explained, suffered severe chastise-
ment. We have inserted the extract in another part
of our paper.

The paiseng,ers who came by the last vessel froth
tilboa have arrived in town, and give the tbllowing
information as to the state of the country at the time
of their departure :
44 The French, to the number of 600 men, loft Bil.
boa a few days before their departure (which was on
the 2d instant) to attack a party of Guerillas, under
the command of CANPILLO, who was in the vicinity
of Valtnaseda ; but the Guerilla General, having re-
ceived intelligence of their approach, made every dis.
position to receive them, and the French party were
compelled to return with only 400 men, having lost
the remainder in their unsuccessful attempt to de-
stroy CAMPILLO'S party. In consequence of the great
number of Guerillas in the neighbourhood of 11:lboa,
the French were fortifying that wive, and barricading
all the difrertnt streets to prevent stuprhe. A pro-
clamation of General MENDIZABAL had readied fail.
boa, which was addressed to the inhatiomts of Biscay,
directing all the young men to be put in requisition,
and to hold theniselve in readines to march upon
the arrival of the first Guerilla which should make its
appearance within the jurisdiction of the town of their
residence. There is not a dry passes, but the Spa-
niards are making excursioi.s even to the very gates
of Bilboa, in one of which they caught a French offi-
cer of the polif.o. MINA has taken the whole depu-
tation of Navarre, and .the Governor cf Pamplona
had a very narrow escape of being made prisoner..
The night these Gentlemen left Eiboa, the Guerillas
had moved down to the sea shore to correspond with
the English.ships of war of: the coast and he further
adds that Biscay is in a most deplorable state, owing
to its present unhappy situation, as well from the
French making numerous heavy requisitions, as from
the frequent appearance of the Guerillas, so that all
the young men are compelled through necessity to
join the armies to procure sustenance. MINA and
LONGA are continually harrassing the enemy, by
laying in ambush for the different convoys of provi-
sions, &c. &c. in which of late they have bceu very
successful."

A letter from Alicara, dated October 17, says,
I am sorry to inform you that the disorder hat
'lucid through Li Ma! cha, and that ♦iDena is de.
Blared in a state of disease. The inhabitants ofVa-
lencia were, by our last advices, in high spirits, and
the enemy, since their repulse on the Bth of October,
had not repeated any, further attacks on S.tgutitum.
A report .prevailed there when the iettets left, that
the French had retreated nine learn."
