bon Diary, Oct. %.
The head quarters are at Daymell and our
troops and those of the enemy in the same
position.
Dispatches were received from Marquis
Wellesley Yesterday, dated Oct. 10; His
Lordshp, unable to resist the temptation of
the &c Loaves aud Fishes" was preparing to
embark for England.
Nov. 4.
From the Extensive Coast of the Peninsula
vessels arrive almost daily. From Galon we
learn that the Asturias and Gallicia, enjoy
Temporary tranquility by the absence of the enc
my. From Portugal, we lament to say, letters
concur in stating, that by the sword, by ia
mine, and BY disease, that army which LETT
England in such gallant gay arrays reduced
to fewer than 1900 electives, il IS now iin-
possible to doubt the evacuation of country
which has been the grave of two Of the finest
armies that ever left the British shores.
Frcm Walcheren the advices are ifpossible
still less favorable. Disease is confidently as
serted to resis the utmost of medical science

While our force is thus hourly diminishing
in that deadly place, Napoleon is making vigo-
lruus preparations to attack the Island. OF in
qtiiry into the causes of the failure of the An
twerp Expedition, we now hear not one word.
The late commander has seat in the Council
Board, and is understood TO enjoy the especial
favour and pro'ection OF ms rhuestys who as
report saws. is satisfied with the written state
rnent of that noble commander. Whether his
majesty has also received that of the gallant
Sir Richard Strachan. we know not. In many
cases to have the last word IS highly Imper
tant but it may be apprehended, that in the
present instance the first word. like the first
blow in battle has the best chance.
An Order in Council for continuing the re
striction upon Dishliag Spirits from Grain,

From the French and Dutch Pahers.
