std high spirits. The following short letters preterit
the only intelligence deserving of ilafticular notice
GIBRALTAR, JULY el.
A person, just arrived from the environs of Seville,
states, that BALLa.srEnos' and COPONe divisions had
attacked the French, from the Ist to the 6th, in the
neighbourhood of Seville, between Algaba and San-
tip .nce ; that be had seen upwards of a hundred
wounded come into Seville, every day, during that
time ; and that on the 6th, wken he left that neigh-
bourhood, the firing of cannon and musketry still
continued.
JULY 24.—The French were driven out of Mar-
bella afew days ago, with very considerable loss.
General LACY is at St. Roque with his corps of
sOOO men. His corps, I arm sorry to state it, behaved
most shamefully in its late march towards the Ronda,
retreating in confusion without seeing the enemy.

In another part of our Paper we have given ex-
tracts from French papers to the 4th instant. An
article from Vienna, dated July 20, says, that " the
Turkish army having taken a position on Mount Bal-
kan (fcnnerly Mount }litmus), the Russian General
slid not deem it adviseeble to attack it, but took a
circuitous route, and arrived at Basargik, in Rome-
lia." From Leghorn it is stated, " that between three
and 400 men having landed . from three frigates in
Corsica, were attacked by the inhabitants, and com-
pelled to re embark With considerable lass."
The continuatioa of the narrative of the operations
of the French in the Peninsula is interesting. They
boast of numerous victories, but the very facts which
they state serve to prove that the Spaniards are every
where in insurrection.

Dutch Papers to the 7th instant have also been re-
ceived. The only article of importance which they
present, is a Decree by the Duke of REGGIO, for-
dding, under the severest penalties, all attempts on
Ile part of the inhabitants to emigrate.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Au.
clisT and SOPHIA, accompanied,br Lady COLLYER,
and General WYNYAED, went to -St. George's Cha-
pel, Windsor, and heard a sermon preached by the
Reverend Mr. NORTHEY j they afterwards returned
to the Palace.

The Princess AMELIA, we are happy to hear, con-
tinues in a mending State.
On Saturday the Duchess of BRUNSWICK completed
her 72d year. _ _ _

The Gazette of Saturday night contains a further
prorrgation of Parliament, from the 21st inst. to the
Ist of November. • •

The KING has been pleased to appoint Joist; PARKE,
ENI. to be his MAJESTY'S Coning in the Island of
Iceland.

Y-sterdey was the Prince of WALICS9S birth-day ; his
Roy.►' Highness completed his 48th year. The morn-
ing was ushered in with the ringing of bells through-
out London and the country, and which was conti-
nued during the day. The standards on the church
steeples, the Tower, and other public buildings, were
displayed. _ _ _

The Parks were yesterday very much crowded, but
*shower which came on at four o'clock dispersed the
visitors in all directions.

BIRTH. —On Saturday, in Ely-place, the Lady of
'WILLIAM BRYDON, Esq. of a son.
The ROYAL OAK and ELIZABETH have proceeded
from the blockade of Cherburgh, to join Sir EDWARD
PELLIW.

A flotilla establishment is forming at Gibraltar,
under the command of Captain C. V. PENROSE, wko
will hoist a broat pendant there. Captains FELLows
and HALL (Commanders)are appointed to the service.

We have received New York Gazettes to the 16th
tit. and a few Boston papers to a late date. It is
stated in one of the former, that the Administration
conceived itself authorized by law to take active and
oFficient measures against France, without the inter-
vention of Congress ; and that ;he opinion of Mr.
Ronny, the Attorney General of the United States,
bad been taken upon the subject.
A report was prevalent, both at Boston and New
York, at the dice of these Papers, on the authority of
tomtnunications from the Havannah, that distur-
bances had broken out at Mexico, and that the Go-

'Pernor, with several Ecclesiastics, had been arrested.
Count PAULEN, the Russian Envoy, had arrived at
Washington, and been presented to Mr. MADISON, to
whom he had delivered his letters of credence.

It is also stated in these papers, on the authority of
.an Anierican Captain arrived at New York, that the i
RAINBOW sloop of war had, on the 6th June, off Porto.
Rico, a severe engagement with a largw•French Tri-
rue, which escaped in the night. The RAINBOW, it
is added, had several men killed, and sustained much
d im.Age in her hull and rigging.
CONTINENTAL TRADE..--The following are said to
be the terms upon which the French Government is
disposed to allow a commercial intercourse, by means
of neutral vessels, with this country. They are ex-
tracted from an official document, dated July 20:
" Licences will be granted, but for such ports only as are al-
Indy pointed out. The licence will remain in force for six
months, but shall he submitted each voyage to the inspection of
the Minister of Marine, with a declaration of the master of what
he has dune, and the occurrences of the voyage. The licence shall I
be delivt. red gratlitously.
" .1 he outward cargoes must consist of wine and French bran..
dies to the extent of one-sixth of the tonnage of the vessel (to be
xscutained by the tonnage on which she pays her duties), and the
remaining five-sixths to consist, at the discretion of the shippers,
of wine, brandy, gum, herbs, seed, fruit, and the product of
French manufactures, and salt, of which the exportation may not .
be prohibited by the regulations of the Customs.
" The import cargoes shall consist of timber, hemp, raw mate-
rial iron, bark, drugs, rice, Russia tallow, wax, linseed, fish-nil,
pitch, tar, potatoes, shumack, dollars, lead, minium, tin, white_
cad, arsenic, dried hides in the hair, wainscot, and boards."
The only objection on the part of our Government
to this schedule of articles allowed to be imported into
France is, that neither British manufactures nor Co-
lonial produce are included in it; The admission of
these, we understand, is a sine qua non of the arrange-
pent.

Nothing is altered in the prior regulations respect-
ing the destination of vessels. •
