While waiting for the return of a courier whom be

of the eustom.huuse at Polangen. It is said that he

English entertained the project of using him as an
instrument to foment disorder and anarchy in
Sweden, which they now see entirely wrested from
their interests.

SPAIN.

CADIZ, OCT. 4.—The isles of Spain immediately
adjoicisig the coasts of the Peninsula ought to be
considered as so many asylums for the Patriots,
their property, their papers, and other effects of
amy transport. They may also be regarded as so
many arsenals and depots inaccessible to the arms
of the 'Tyrant, where, sheltered from his attacks,
magazines are formed, arms are made, and tho de.

during Its residence in that city, upon the isle
klloan by the name of Cando, which liel at the
month of the Guadiana. When the French
entered Ayamonte some months ago, both the
Junta and the inhabitants experienced the most
generous reception on the other bank of the
.river, in Villa Real de S. Antonio. The
I.lishop of the Algarve% the Captain. General of
.the Precinct., the Military Governor of that
Port; and all the Portuguese, displayed towards
the refugees the greatest proofs of compassion,
friendship, and interest ; but this precarious and
pomentary kesoureq was. not equal to that which

isle of Clinch ; and the necessity of providing
quarters fur 6000 enrolled troops who had been

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

WEDNESDAY, OCTOIIBIII $41:1810.

In Trak: STATES! tw of yesterday, we emleavoured
to give the Reader au idea of the respective nuns- ,
bars of the contending armies in Portugal. The
statement of the force of the Allied Army, we ro.
lied on • with cousiderable confidence, for it was
taken from The Morgans, Post, which is well
known to speak on such matters from the surest
authority. No doubt the Government had an üb.

they began to entertain doubts respecting the
issue of the campaign, is a good symptom ; fur it

the chapter, with an utter indifference to all the
probabilities of calculations ; and that they endea-

themselves began to apprehend disaster, has shewn
