predatory kind of warfare carried on against them,
that they shew the greatest antipathy to meet the
Spaniards, particularly the armed peasantry, ww,

We have this day given copious extracts, from *I
Spanish Pipers received on Saturday. They chief
consist of some intercepted correspondence whidi'
took place between the French Governor of Biscay,
General THOUVENOT, and the Duke of DALINATIA, at
the time the small armament under General PORLIER
was annoying the coast of Biscay. The French Go-
vernor admits that, so weak were the various- garri-
sons, the enemy destroyed all the fortifications,.
with as much ease as if he took a walk for amuse-.
went." Indeed these documents amply confirm the
accounts we gave on Saturday on the authority of
the Spaniards themselves, of the weakness of the
French in the North of Spain, and afford grounds to
hope for some important advantages from the re-
Dewed exertions of the Patriots, if they are not over
whelmed by reinforcements from France.
In the South of Spain the affairs of the French'
seem to wear an aspect equally unpromising. The
Regency Gazette published at Cadiz, contains an in-
tercepted representation from the Commission or Junta
of subsistence established at Xeres by JOSEPH BOWA
pARTE, in which they urge their utter impossibility
to supply any longer the army of Cadiz, and state
the sacrifices they have already made in 117 dams, et
the sum of 29,506,466 reals. •

Since our last French and Dutch papers to the 18th
have been received. In these papers we find a copy
of the Decree of the 28th ult. directing the sequestra-
tion of vessels conveying passengers from this coun-
try to France. It agrees in substance with what has
been stated in this paper, except that we do not see
the infliction of capital punishment denounced against
Captains contravening the Decree.
They also present a few details respecting the war
between the Turks and Russians : they are to the date '
of the 28th ult. Several assaults on the foftress of
Rudshuck are mentioned, in all of which the Russians
were defeated ; but they had not on this account
abandoned the siege, and the reinforcement of 10,000
men from Prince Kamensky's Army had inspired the
assailants with fresh hopes of success. One account,
dated the 27th of last month, states, that the place
had been taken possession of by General SASS.

This forenoon arrived, two Gotteuburgh Mails, the
contents of which are rather important. The KING
of SWEDEN continues so much indisposed that there
is some probability that the lately-elected Crown
Ptince will soon assume the reins of Government.—
A Treaty of Alliance, offensive and defensive, be-
tween France and Austria, is talked of, and a war
with Russia is mentioned as its primary object.
