Since our last we have received Monikers and
minor French Papers to the 22d instant. Private
letters from the French coast have also been received,
and Dutch Papers and Letters to the 21st.
We regret to find by the French Papers that the
enemy have lately obtained some very important
successes in the Peninsula. Tortosa has surrendered
after a siege of short duration, but of uncommon
vigour. This important post was resolutely defended.
Its surrender was occasioned more by the weakness
and insufficiency of the works, than by any defect in
courage or perseverance on the part of the brave gar-
rison. Two practicable breaches were effected before
they offered to enter into negociation for surrendering
the place. The French acknowledge a loss of 400
men on this occasion, and estimate that of the gar-
rison at 1200. The besieging army, encreased by
the corps under the command of Marshal MACDO-
NALD, proceeded afterwards to invest Tarragona.
These papers contain an account of the failure of
an expedition against Palamos, a small port to the
eastward of Barcelona. Of the 1000 or 1100 British
troops that were landed, 800 are represented as hav-
ing been killed and wounded, and 150 taken priso-
ners. The object of the attack is not mentioned in
the official report ; but it appears from a private let-
ter, that it was for the purpose of cutting out some
paltry craft, which had taken shelter in the harbour
of Palamos. Captain James and some other officers
ilof the navy were taken prisoners in this affair.

The accounts received from Gibraltar of the sur-
render of the fortress of Marbella tc General SEBAS.
TIANI, appear to have been premature. The direct
intelligence from that officer is of later date, and it
goes no farther than to state, that the siege was ad-
vancing.
A well-concerted attack on General BONNET, in the
Asturias, is said to have failed ; but the enemy appear-
to have derived no great advantage from the victory
they claim. The Spaniards withdrew in good order.
From the re-appointment of Marshal BESSIERES to a
command in the North of Spain, which of course im-
plies the employment of a considerable force, it is evi-
dent that the French have been much embarrassed by
the desultory attacks id that quarter.
The official Report of the operations in Spain con-
cludes in a very extraordinary manner. Atter some
invective against the English, and asserting that the
spirit of insurrection is nearly extinct, it says 46 the in-
habitants loudly call for being united to the Empire.°
Is it meant to be understood from this that it is in-
tended to annex Spain to the French Empire ? It is
not unusual for BONAPARTE to announce projects of
the greatest importance in this incidental manner.
We find in an article purporting to have been writ-
ten from Hamburgh, some severe animadversions re•
specting the facility afforded to British commerce by'
the Swedish Government. These complaints will
probably soon assume a more official and effectual
shape. A 'large body of Danish sailors have arrived
at Hamburgh, on their way to Antwerp, to man the
French fleet.

It is stated from Vienna that the pacific negocia.
tions between the Porte and Russia have been re-
sumed, and that thete is every probability of their
terminating favourably.
The Dutch papers mention in an article from
Vienna, that the late efforts made by the Servians
against the Turks, had inspired confidence in their
own strength, and that they aimed at the establish-
ment of their own independence ; and it is added,
that their Senate is about to send Deputies to the
Continental Powers to solicit the different Sovereigns
to guarantee their liberty.
An article from Warsaw, dated the 25th ult. states,
two merchants, and another person, had been sen-
tenced to two years imprisonment for dealing in Eng-
lish merchandise.

AMERICA.
Mr. PINKNEY has received dispatches from his Go-
vernment, containing all the rcecent documents re-
specting the negotiations with the Court at St. Cloud.
We understand that these dispatches present no new
facts of public importance, and that the Govern-
ment of the United States was anxiously expecting
the determ►pation of this country oa the important
subject of the Orders in Council.
American Papers from New-York, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Boston. From the pro-
ceedings of Congress we learn, that in the House of
Representatives Mr. Warms had presented a Peti-
tien from sundry merchants of New-York, stating
that they had ordered goods from England to a large
amount ; that the orders were given before they
'had any knowledge of the proposed renewal of the
Non-Intercourse ; that the goods were purchased from
the manufacturers, and would probably remain
in the hands of agents in England, at the risk of
the American merchants ; that a large part of the
goods was actually paid for, and that a small portion
only could arrive before the 2d February.
Under these circumstances, therefore, they prayed
for relief from the operation of the prohibitory law.
The Petition was referred to the Committee of Fo-
reign Relations.
By a letter from New York of the 18th December.
we understand that the Secretary w the Tccasutyr

Mr. GALLATIN, has raesemended, that all goods or-
dared in England film America, and paid for prior,
' to the 2d November, although arriving after the 2d
February, should not fall within the purview of the
Non-Intercourse Act. We believe that an applica-
tion has been made, to place under the same circum-
stances such merchandize as may have been ordered
and paid for by American merchants, in London and
Liverpool, prior to the receipt of the intelligence of
the President's proclamation of the 2d November.
In the National Intelligencer, the following propo-
sitions are stated as the present situation of America,
with respect to the two belligerent powers :
" 1. That France has revoked all her known edicts
that violated our neutral commerce.
& That no such revocation has as yet been made
by England, who has only made a promise partially
and contingently to repeal her edicts.
44 S. That the illegitimate blockades of England
must (in the opinion of the President) be revoked,
before she can be considered as having repealed her
Orders that violate our neutral rights.
" 4. That on the other important subjects depend-
ing between the United States and that Government
(Great Britain), no progress has been made, from
which an early and satisfacrw result can be relied
on."
The approaching expiration of the Charter of the
United States Bank, for which no renewal has been
yet provided, has produced a striking reduction in the
shares. Four years ago they sold in London at 146,
and they can be now obtained at 93. By the advices of
Saturday, it appears that much inconvenience is appre-
hended should the charter be allowed to.expire, as
the capital of 10 millions of dollars must in such event
be repaid, and three times that amount would be
withdrawn from General circulation.
