THE STATESMAN.

Bisbee the commencement of his guvermnent, Ilse interest has
been regularly paid, without any exception, and s ithout delay.

This day his 31:►jesty has resolved to confer much greater
advautages: with a single glance he has perceived the source
of all the misfortupes of your cotpurvi and by our of those pro-
found thoughts which, prepare fur the future a change of man-
ners iu a whole people, his Majesty has made to arise from the
very causes which produced and perpetuated your wants, a
new source of riches. The public debt will serve to renovate
pi °petty in the ltonsaa States; and in dividing the domains of
the State among all the creditors of the old tiovernment, his
Majesty vs ill at once restore their ancient fertility to lauds, at
this day so neglected, which were cultivated by the triumphant
hands of your ancestors. _

" This great operation is entrusted to you; and it is to your
cares, it lito you, Gentlemen, who by the extent of your pro-
perty. have the greatest interest in its success, that his Majesty
confides the fortune of so in iny families, and tite pledge of a
repayment, which must have so happy an infictence. Go.ern-
ment will interfere in no other way, but by a wise superin-

tendaixe; and in leaving to you the choice of the administrators
of the property which it confides to you, it carries, to the
higlse,t point, its guarantee of the public faith, and its respect
for your rights."

hANTZIC, SEPT 3.—They are restoring the forti-
ficatiutis of this place, which were very much da.
inapt' by the last seige, in 1807. These works are
carried on under the inspection of Freisch engineers.
Many new works are added to the old.
• AMSTEROAIIs SW!. 17....irery great activity pre.
tails here in paying the duty of 50 per cent. on co-
lonial produce. The declarations already given in
.cake the duty amount to 80 millious, without in.
eluding the value of the English manufactures which
bare' been °confiscated. The English will sustain a
very considerable loss, for a great part of the co.
lOW produce belonged to English commerce, and
Mad bet* sent here on commission.
• FIRANICTORT) SEPr. 18.—Madame Blanchard,
On the 16th, made her ascent in a balloon, which
will long be -remembered. Having been delayed in
the morning by the want of the necessary qaantity
of vitriolic acid, it was already about seven in the
evening, when the balloon would not rise. Alarmed
lest she should disappoint the public, Madame
Blanchard ordered the cords of her boat to be cut,
and, in spite of the representations of all who sur.
rounded her, she threw herself into the frail ma.
chine amid universal acclamations: her ascent waft
very fine, and impelled by a brisk wind from the
northeast, the balloon was quickly carried out of
sight ; but till her return, there was reason to fear
lest she should be the victim of her courage, or ra-
ther her temerity. Happily, however, she returned
to this city yesterday about four in the afternoon.
She descended at nine in the evening in a wood near
Steinfishbach, ten leagues from this place.
VIENNA, Seder. B.—ln pursuance of the new
organization, it is said that the infantry regiments
will consist of 12 con,pauies of fusileera, and two
of grenadiers, the forn.er 120 men each, and the
latter 100. To each regiment will be attached two
battalions of landwehr, in which will be placed the
supernumerary officers. All the officers will receive
one-third of their pay in money, and the two other
thirds in bank-notes, at their current value. All
the veterans will receive their discharge, and all
foreign soldiers will be set at liberty, whether they
have reached the close of their engagement or not.
All foreigners of the rank of subalterns, who wish
their discharge, will receive it immediately. In the
cavalry one.fourth of the men will be discharged.
It is calculated that these new arrangements will
save the State ten millions of florins.

SPdNISU divlD PORTUGUESE PdPERS.

Leat Aight Irtt received Spanish papers to the
100, and Piitstetese. to the 16th ult. from which
the following int extracts
• . tissos, have had many arrests
here during the last week of persons in various
ranks of life, *ecclesiastics, nobles, merchants, and
others, by government. The charges against them
are not known, but their rank and numbers indicate
a serious sod very extensive plot. Our army re._
mains in the same position as when I last wrote : it
is reported that the enemy have shewn some inten.
lion of making toward Badajos, yet other accounts
make no mention of any movements of importance
on either side.
SEPT. 14.—N0 accounts of any interest relative
to the armies, or the military operations, have been
received. The armies continue to observe the mo-
tions of the enemy and the concurrence of circum-
stances conducive to fortunate undertakings. It is
known that the insurrectionary movements arc ge.
neral in all the provinces of Spain, and that all the
Generals are In commission. The number of flying
parties continually increases; discontent, through.'
out every part of Spain, is general; the- ploceed.'
jugs of the oppressors increase the number of their
enemies, and the justice of the cause which the Pa-
triots defend redoubles the valour of the injured
people. It may be said, without exaggeration,
that the political animatiou of Spain against the
enemy was never such as it is at present,
Sur. 11.—We have nu news from the armies ;
it appears that the French are cot in baste to ad.

BADAJOE, SEPT. 6.—Yesterday 200 Portugitegc
cavalry arrived here on their march to join our
army. -Me know that some tl:,ys ago Don Correlo,
with his party, entered A Itnonacid, killed the French
Commander, and took 30 loads of lead, which has
heettten't to the capital, with other effects of which
we are %want.
ACCOUNTS OF TORTOSA. -
" Jog. I.—A very brisk fire is kept up from the
town. At seven o'clock tl.ts evening General
O'DONNEL arrived at this place; his presence has
greatly (increased the enthusiasm of the inhabitants,
and damped the spirit of the enemy, who occupy'
the environs.

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON :
TUESDAY, ocronza 2, 1810.

We have received the following very Interesting
Letter this morning. Our affairs seem in a mellow
choly condition every where. Sortie will say, this
is the work of chance. Alas ! it is always thus
with ignorant men—their affairs arc so combined,
that no good can ever come out of them.
FA L MOUTH, SEPT. 29.—The frahinghco; packet, ROBERTS,
with mails from Lisbon, l S days passage, arrived here. The
accounts brought by this vessel are really of a gloomy com-
plexion. Lord W ELLIN GTOI had discovered a correstsou-
deuce carrying on between a party in Portugal (many of whom
are of the first families) and the enemy ; in consequence of
which, the Regency had caused upwards of two hundred per-
sons to be arrested, a quantity of concealed arms, &e. had also
been found. It was reported at Lisbon, that the disaffected
party were to cause Lisbon to be fired in several places at
once; and in the tumult, all the English, and those friendly to
them, were to be butchered; this was to take place ut the same
time that Masses A was to make a general-attack on Lord W's.
army. Most happily the plot was discovered io good tiro.•. The
persons arrested bad been embarked on board a vessel, and it is
said, were to be sent to Goa, ou the coast of Africa. Nu bat!.
tie bad taken place with the armies since the fall of Almeida ;
and it was the general opinion that there would not be any fight-
log for the winter, but that MASSCK A would content himself
with the captu:e of Oporto (to which, it is reported, no resis-
tance would be made by Lord W.) and take up his winter
quarters there. With respect to business at Lisbon, every thing
wasat a stand-still, not for want of goods to sell, or purchasers,
but in consequence of the goods being locked up in the Custom-
house there, the India Company and Custom-house both
claiming the right of dispatching the goods from the Custom.

This morning arrived a Cadiz Mail. In smal;

papers contain beside, two long articles, which we
have no room to give--one, is n Proclamatiosissueti
by Gen. O'Donatt., dated Torten; the 2d of Aug.

well written, and breathes a very noble spirit—the
other is a letter from the Council of Monte Video,
and the Board of Magislrates of the said City, to the
Supreme Council of Regency at Cadiz, received by
the schooner Discuburta, Don J. pt Bran.tn,
of the Navy, commander, which...arrived from
