"It is said, that Napoleon having lost
100, ZOO of his finest troops in Spain, and
despairing Of subduing it, has at last re-
solved to abandon the whole country
southwark Of the EbrO." Whig.
1t is not certain that Bonaparte is aban-
doning Spain in utter despair Of ever
conquering the country; or, at least from
that cause alone. The late foreign intel
Iigence seems to indicate that he has found
ample employment for his legions in ano-
Their quarter. Should this be correct, the
Spanish Patriots may ultimately be crown
ed with that success to which their glori
GUS struggles for Independence so fully
entitle them. In this desirable event,
King Joseph Napoleon must look else
where for Throne and however far to
the Northward it may be situated, he may
be certain Of not meeting with cooler
reception than he has hitherto experienced -!
Time, the great revealer of secrets,
will probably soon unfold the mystery
which now envelopes the affairs of CONT
mental Europe.
The following articles, from the Baltimore
Wing, evince that even amongst the Demo
cratic party there are some who are asham-
cd any longer to justify the duplcity of b.
naparte. The sarcasm on the labored eff
forts of the government paper, is very well
nerited.

RELATIONS WITH FRANCE.
g 1t was the opinion, we hear, OF the best
informed merchants at Bordeaux, about the
lst of May, that the French government
would consider our non-importation law as
fulflnent of the stipulation of Aug. S, 1910.
However 7ve had rather see ONE GUST AcT than
hear a hundred friendly PROFESSIONS from such
q government
GA writer in the N Intelligencer thinks
that Napoleon has fulfilled literally his part Of
the agreement with us, relative to the Berlin
and Milan DEGREES: but, that the seizures and
representations of American property since,
are under other regulations! So long as Ma
toleon is unjust,-hreterts are svorth nothing"
Letters and papers to the 5th Of March
have been received at Boston from Buenos
Ayres. They are stated to be full of revolu-
ttonary procedings-". The English take no
part in these internal squabblcs. Trade was
extremely dull at Monte Viedo, and produce
very high"
A very singular conspiracy for very COM
mon purpose has been made public. Four
persons are said to have engaged to advertise
large quantity of goods for sale, and then to
invite some of our monied men singly under
the pretence of purchasing goods who were
to be seized, gagged and confined, until they,

Extract Of a Letter from Cadr, Nou. %, 1910.
No news from Lisbon yet, but hourly
looked for /; but we have head this day of
the unfortunate fate of an expedition against
Malaga About 1000 picked troops from Glib
ralter, under Lord Blaney, sailed sometime
ago, and effected a landing Immediately be-
low the town they were suffered TO land ev-
cry thing and TO form In perfect order OF bat
tie, before there was any appearance of force
to oppose them. On their march, upon o.
pening spacious ground, they found body
of troops drawn up in several detachments,
and in AN apparently very disorderly way Id.
Blaney seeing no movement made, and none
under arms apparently but sort of guard,
conceived them to be Spaniards, marched up
in front towards what he cen ,idered their head
quarters-but they were soon shewn their
mistake by a concentrated attack with the
bayonet defeat necessarily took place, and
preciptate and disorderly flight towards
their boats, in which they were intercepted
by numerous corps of French hussars, who
cut them up desperately.
Nov, 3.-Massena is still said to be OH
the retreat, and has avoided several iempta-
tions to come to action, which were given
him by the British General but some say
here that he is only waiting for reinforce
ment, said to be $4,000 men coming from
France. If this should be true, his retiring
may be accounted for, and we may expect to
hear of some signal events in Portu gall
.dnroro.

I" Ill success has attended an attempt to cut
out two lndiamen, with part Of the 24th reg.
bound from here to Madras, captured by the
French frigates, and carried into Port Louis.
The Windham was recaptured but on at
tempting to get between the Pass Gan island
in the mouth of the harbour) and the shore,
to destroy the French frigates, Neried, Capt
Wilioughby, only succeeded. The Sirius and
Magicienne frigates ran aground. In conse-
quence of which, the Neriad had to sustain
alone the whole fire of the enemy and was
completely destroyed. The Capt. Is badly
wounded, and escaped with only men. The
other two frigates, not being able to get off,
have been burnt by their crews, who have ta-
king refuge on the Pass They are suppor-
ted by the Iphigenia frigate, but are all block
AIDED by the French frigatcs. AS the English
have no other force, at this moment, but the
Boadicea and Otter sloop of war, it has crea-
ted much alarm.
Our old Admiral, BERTHE, who sailed in
the Nyms frigate for Bourbon about ID month
ago, is perhaps captured."-E. c. H. B.

highly respect have denounced this step az
unlustihable with respect to Spain, intended
to involve Us in war with England, and n
violation by the President of the Constitution" I"
We have no doubt Of The sincerity of
MIR. Madison's desire to involve US in a war
with England yet as to the fact in question,
We believe his motives to have been correct,
his measures constitutional, and his prompt
ness and decision highly honorable.
Without enquiring into the validity of
our claim to West Florida, il is ficient that
We had claim, unadjustcd and unreIinquish-
ed. While the legitimate government of
Spain continued to exercise authority over
this Territory, we made no attempts 10 wrest
il from them, for we purposed first to try the
milder course of negotiation. But recent G.
vents have changed ,his posture Of aHairs, and
the possession OF the disputed Territory has
passed into the hands OF revolutionary gov
eminent, asserting their entire independence.
And shall we quietly look on and let them
keep possession ! Shall we rslinquish our
rights because to assert them may happen to
offend either Spain or England God forbid
that this should ever be the temper of any
American, much less of American rulers
FIat justilia, ruat eeium let US maintain our
rights against the world in arms. And, as
the President very justly suggests, this act
does not preclude amicable adjustment with
Spain, of the claims of the territory in
question. 1t merely rescues the possession
Of it from wrong-doer, aud affords there
fore no legitimate ground of complaint to the
other party.
AS to the alledged breach of the Consti-
tuition by marching troops into West Florida,
the idea is preposperous, it is making bear
our Of q 6rambte. 1t would be thought ex-
tremely ludicrous in any one to deny the Pre-
sident's power to send troops across the river
Mississippi Yet this would be as palpable
violation of the constitution as the case be-
fore US since sending them where they are
now ordered, or sending them to the western
side of the river, is only Altering their desti-
nation to different points of the same terrific
ry, it being all included III our purchase of
Louisiana
In what ridiculous light does not this remark
appear, after the documents laid before Congress at
their last session After attentive perusa of those
papers man would hazard such an assertion who
was not candidate for Bedlam.--C Ed Nat. ht.]

PumourS from ENGLAND.


For several days past, there have been va
rious rumours in circulation on subject of the
very highest importance, both to the feelings
as well as interest of American people. The
first edition stated the arrival at Newburyport
of gentleman from Nova-Scotia, who, on
his passage spoke vessel, then 81 days from
Liverpool, for Nova-Scotia, the Capt of
which informed him, that his majesty, king
George, lid. was dead and that news had
been received in England of partial engage
ment between the French and combined Por-
tugues and English in Portugal, in whichthe
former lost upwards of 2ooo men, and the
latter short Of GOO. The second edition is by
the Captain of Nova-Scotia vessel, which
left Liverpool, N. S. yesterday week ;----Hc
states, that sch. had Just put in there from
Liverpool, Eng. in about 80 days passage {:
that in conversation with the capt. he was in.
formed that the king Of England was NOT dead
but remained in low state of health that
there had been a battle in Portugal in which
the French where said to have had some
email advantages. Our informant, being in
haste to depart, and fair wind springing up,
set sail without obtaining any further particu-
lars. Both these accounts are probably deri-
we'd from the same source, and, from their
contradictory nature are entitled to very little
credit. -
The seige Of Cddiz raised.
Capt. White, Of the brig BelIona, arrived
q, n. York, In ~ days from Lisbon, informs
that previous to his sailing, letters had been
received from Cadiz, stating that Marshall
Sout had discontinued the seige Of that place
and had marched to Join the forces of General
Massena. Capt. w. also states, that no gen.
ersl battle had yet taken place between Lord
Wellington and Messcna, but that there was
continual skirmisAing between the advanced
posts Of the two armies.
