BY arrivals NJ Boston, accounts from
Spain have been received few days later
than those before published. by them it
appears the Patriots had pretty generally
been successful, and the prospect was high
ly in favor of their continuing so. The want
of arms and ammunition, however, had rem
dered the Spanlards unable to oppose the
enemy and consequently obliged them to
retreat into the country, where they were
reinforced, and in their turn, had defeated
the French BY verbal accounts, it appears
that about the first of December general
battle had been fought between the United
British and Spanish army, and the French
that the latter 4pas defeated, with the loss OF
5000 killed. The loss of the former is sta
ted at 1000 killed, among whom was Sir
David Baird
Among the numerous accounts OF militia

in Catalonia Gen. WIVES had given battle to
the French, and had aiken Rosas. He had
declared Barcelona in state o. rigid siege
And that Troops were continually pass
ing the interior towns OH their march to the
armies. The number of Spaniards in arms
is stated to amount to 100000.
Accounts from Cadiz, to the 9Th Of De-
cember, mention, that it was no, known
there that any decisive battle had taken
place, though there had been much hard
fighting that the Spaniards still continu-

The Arch Duke Charles

Is unques,ioably one Of the first mill
i,ary characters of the age. The Ger
man Empire has heretofore produced
many illustrious commanders. VEL
STEIN, who conquered, almost with the
selerity Of Cesar, Germany, Hungary,
and BOHEMIA, and resisted for time
even the great Gustavus Adolphus-
TILL and MAMMALIAN OF the same
cra-and Dawn, of later period, who
was the evil genius OF Frederick the
Crea,-elevated to high point the
martial fame of Germany and Austria.
The Arch Duke Charles resembles
Daun more than either Of the other
commanders, and indeed unites in HIM
self the great and in some measure
opposite qualities of the celebrated
CoypE and rURESNE. His operations
arc rapid or deliberative, impotuous or
cautious, as circumstances and pros
pects require. Equally warrior BY
nature and by education equally cal
,ulated to advance or retreat, to besiege
or to defend equally qualified for ac-
i've movements or the Fabian system
ofdelay i; is certainly within the bound
ar.s $ of probability that the laurcls OF
Napoleon may yet fade before this hr9-
s.liisn, c. ducus, this eminent ornament
and protector of the I'm perial House OF
Austria.

i.uropeon Coalitions.

Il is long since we ceased to have
much confidence in the stability or the
powerful effect of coali,ioas against
France. but it is certain that the one
which appears now to be forming, pro-
misses more than those which have pre-.
ceded it. The events in Spain prove
tina, monarchs and nations are alike re-
duced to the Ultima ratio regum, and
the difficulty Of conquering that coun-
try must operate as powerful diver
sion in favour Of the new combination.
True it is that France and Russia make
:. fearful odds" against Austria and
Turkey, but it is equally true that they
cannot conquer Austria, Turkey, and
Spain, at the same time; and there is
good ground to hope that the great
Autocrat of the North, before those
countries can be conquered in success
sion, will see the error of his course,
and govern hin,self accordingly.
