A letitr is said to have reached . town from an officer in Sir J mes S iumarrV- squjJron, stating that on hi junction with Sir Samuel lluod, at Baltic Port, the detach xnentaof rov-d marines from th liriiish squadron were landed on the is'ao.l, at its entrance, where the Russians had taken po and erc ted heavy batteries ; that after a most severe action with the ene xnv (whawrrc farsuperiorin num ber) our brave fellows succeeded in dijl'ijgiog them, a part of th R sm:ui- iurrenderinj; and the o thers ess aping in boats to their ships.

Nti inuil'g-nce of this nature . hailn-en reccivedat the admiralty. A gentleman has arrived from Paris, whi h he lelta lew days ago.

In fact serious n p cl.cnsions arc enter-tif-cd, aua bv persons, too, not Iiltvly to br unjunruitd, that there isnoprobahiitu of ah amicable ter mination to the OiSviusMons which "have so long gtnc on between the ;t wo governments. . It is said that our government decidedly refuses to riRtind'the Orders in Count il, or m.kr any nullification in them -favw-..ic to America, and the A mrr.cM gcivernment therefore ex Ps thr ir risMuiion, or speakiog JforeCOrrruivmthc Ln-agc oI )fr encan constitution, their J?f)tr.;o. that the rmhu wl not - t ;movdor even rtUxed.unless x waders tn Council arc rescind, tujy rxiDrc until the American x r molestation otjour vessels upoaT, hy pretension rwhatever. Such is the representation that has reach- eu us, ana wc leeiwncuaea .iu uc lievelt. , ' '.ylt appears in these papers, hy an articje trom Madrid ot tnejtn. tnat Joseph and the-French head-qliar- ters were at the city ot .uograno, on the birders of OldCastile, near Navarre, Ther had marched by Tudcla into Arragon, but sudden ly retreated, which is attributed to the ; intelligence they received of tlie movements of the Spanish ar mies. It is mentioned m one of the papers, that the Arragon army had been compelled to make a re trograde movement. from Tudela to Borja. This took place most probably in consequence of the a-bove-mcntioned movement of the French army, whose object in ma I kintrit appears to have been to pre vent their retreat from being cut off by the Arragon army and other troops obtaining a position in the rear. The station thus taken by the French army is in conformity with the statemtnt in the Paris pa pers, of their having occupied po sitions in the line of the Ebro, where they were throwing up tetes du polity and seems to indicate their intention to maintain, for a' time at least, a defensive war. A letter from'Gijon, oT the 15th, states, that the French, after collecting the chief part of their lorce trom Navarre and Biscay, to the amount of near 50 000, had mddenlv made an irruption into Arragon, with the view of getting possesion of Sara gossa ; but When within 7 leagues of that city, they received such in telligence as induced them to re treat, and that their neau-quariers were then at Mirsndean Ebro, in Navarre. This letter also st-ttes, that Palafox had fallen back to Bor. in consequence of the advanre ol the rrenrh army, greatly su perior in numb- rs. The inte'.li enre of 70,000 Spaniards being on their march trom ;liUlnu to Sar.igossa, is supposed to hav caued the retreat of the French The Spanish General Blake, is supposed to have occupied Burgos, the last accounts having left him at Hevnosa. A trcatv sicned on the 6th inst. between M. Cnampignev, minis ter for foreign affairs, and his roy al highness Prince William of Prussia, has put an end to all dif ferences which exisied between France and Prussi u September a4. An extraordinary g zette, pub lishtd by the Junta ot Seville, da- ted the ?2 1 ult. contains a detailed .tccount of the battle at Gerona,on the l Gth, in which the French un der Dumrsnc, were completely de feated, with the loss of their artil lery aud biKtface. Lrtters from Stockholm have reached town whuh state that sub sequent to the 17th, the Swedes had another battlt with the Rus sians in Finland, between Biorn burg and Christienstadt, tbe result of which w.is a decisive victory on the part of the Swedes The Rus sians lelt -.000 dead on the field of battle. The Swedes h id 22 ofli cers and upwards of 800 privates killed and wounded. Genl. Con stedt fell as he was charging at the head of his corps. The Russians in consequence of this defeat, are stated to have fallen back from A- bo to the distance of between thir ty and forty miles on the road to St. -Petersburgh. The Swedes had on some points marched up wards of fifteen miles -beyond the Russian frontiers. BONAPARTE's EXPOSE In respect to Spain, &c. Rcpoftof the Minister cf Foreign Ajfairt to bis I'rifxriul Majcstj. September 8. Sire I have the honour, to propot to your Majesty to com municate to the Senate the two treaties which have placed the Crown of Spain in your hands, and the Constitution which, under your .mspices, and enlightened b vour advice the junta, assembled at Bavonne, after free and mature deliberation, have adopted for the plory of the Spanish name and the prosperity of that kingdom and its. coiontes. If in'the arrangements made "by your Majesty the safety of -Fran e has been your principal ,carev the tr-terest of Spain he-f self Kast how vcr, been dear, and in uniting the IWO. States V tht mmf kimnr alliance the "prosperity and the l glory of both were equally the ob-ll whicHhavc? manifested themselves have narticularlv excited the solici' tucle of your Majesty in de preca- nn tneir progress, io jwicsccim their sad consequences, in hoping to " prevent them by persuasive meaqs, and by measures of wrse and humane policy. YoUr M aj es- ty interfered as a mediator in the" midst of the' divided Spaniards, shewing them on one side the an archy which threatened them, and on the other England ready to profit by their divisions, and to make'Use of them to suit her con venience, and pointing out to t hem the way by which they might be saved from this double danger, by a constitution, ever provident, proper to provide all which they stood in need, and in which libe ral ideas intermixed themselves ; with those ancient institution- which Spain wished to be' preser ved. The exDectations of vour Ma jesty have been deceived. Indi vidual interest, foreign intrigues, and the influence of foreign corrup- tton have prevailed. Why is it so e3sytolead nations to their ruin by letting looe their passions ? In, a former report, I have made your Majesty acquainted with the infl i ence which the English were ac quiring in Spain, ths. numerous party that they had formed, the friends whom they had 4 qu red 'in the commercial towns, by holding out to them the prospect of a revi val of their trade ; I had pointed them out to you as authors of the sedition which overtimed the Throne of Charles IV. and the fa vourcrs of the popular disorders which arose at that epoh. They nad burst through that salutary restraint which keeps the psopk in submission, by operating upon their interest. The populace of Spain havinc: sh.ken off the yoke of authority, aspired at governing. English g ld, the intrigues of tne agrnts of the Inquisi ions, wh were afraid of losing their autho rity, the influence of ihe numerous tribe of Monki io Sp tin, who Jreadel a reform, hive in this tri tical moment, occasioned the in surrection of several Sinnish pro vinces, in which the voice of the nore prudent ciass has been either mistaken or st fl d of whom not a few have fallen victims to their courageous oppositions to popular tumult, and a dreadful anarchy has been seen to diffuse itself over the greatest part of Spain. Will your Majesty prrmit England to be able to say, Spain is one of my provinces ; my flag, driven from the Baltic, North Sea, the Levant, and even from the shores f Persia, rules in the ports of France ? No, never, Sire ! To prevent so much shame and mis fortune, two millions of brave men are ready to scale the Pyrenees, and the English will be chased from the peninsula. If the French fitiht for the liberty of the seas, 1 Ithey must, to conquer, beg'ti by wresting bpam ! om the lntiucnce of the tyrants of the ocean. It they combat forpeace, they cannot obtain it until they have chased from Spain the enemies of peace. If your Majesty, embracing the future as well as the present, as pires to the noble object of leaving after you your empire calm, tran qui , and surrounded by powerful friends, you must begin by secur ing its influence in Spain. Lastly, if honour is the first sentiment, as well as the first ob ject of Frenchmen, your Majesty must promptly mttict vengeance for the outrages committed a gainst the French name, and the atrocities to which so great a num ber of our countrymen have fallen victims. Frenchmen established m Spin for more than twenty years, exercising in peace their useful industry, & almost regard irtg Spain as their country have been massacred. ; Every where French property has been seized. The Consular Agents of your Majesty have experienced a treat ment which would not have been suffered evcn in the most barba rous countries. What estimation, what consideration,will the French name enjoy in Europe, if, in a country so near to us, atrocities so' infamousand so public renpin un punished ? Reparation oucht to be had for them but a reparation consonant to Frenchmen, by vic tory. - - i . ; It is no small advantage, the r - probability of at length meeting me .ngiisn, or.ngnung tnem man to man, and thakinjf thein also feel dan ge t:mVimchvf arcrgnd. rant ,Sthi vdrtlylcaused it by thei r coldiXhe 'English wUlbebeateny destroyeddisrsed, or they at least;,wili make hastetoflas they, did at Toulon, atihe, Helder, at D lhkirlc, iniSweden, and where ver the French arrriies have been oble to find them ; but their expul sion from Spain wiil be the ruin of their cause. This last check will exhaust their means, annihilating it the same time their last hopes, and peace will become more pro bable. The. wishes of all Europe will in this contest be with France- France and Russia will make com mon cause agaihstEngland. Den mark supports with honor a coa lest she did not provoke. Swe den, betrayed and abandoned br an insane cabinet, has sa rificed her, and she has already lost her most important provinces, aud is hastening to that ruin which is the inevitable effect of alliance and friendship with England. " Such will be the fate of the in surgents in Spain. When the con test be omcs serious, the English will abandon Spain, after making them the fair conquest of a civil war of a war for foreign interest and for anarchy, the most crut lof scourges. It will be fur the wis dom and beneficence of your ma jestv to repairlhe evils of which they will be the cause. The Court of Vienna has con stantly testified to your majesty the most amicable intentions. Indig nant at the policy of England she has recalled her minister from London, sent ba k the minister who was at Vienna, ehut hr p.irts against England, and placed her self in a state of hostility with tha. power. She has added to thes? measures, an interdict in her port against the admission of vessels which, under a neujral flag, art only the catrirs of English pro duce and merchandize. Your ma jesty has cultivated ih s favourable disposition ; has testified to the court of V ienna friendship & con fidence ; and has several tunes in ' timatd to her, that France take1 a rtid interest in her propent L itterlv, however, this power ha carried its armament beyond met sure its military force is out n1 all proportion to its population an finances. Your ministers, Sire may wish to remark this, in ordei that your majesty may nercciw the necessity of augmenting you force for the purp se of still pn serving the relative superioiitv which exists between the power &t the population '.f the two empires A n w revolution has broken out t Constantinople- Saltan Musta pha has been deposed. The Americans, a people who involve their fortune, their pros perity, and almost their existence, in commerce, have given th-: ex ample of a great and courageous sacrifice. They have prohibited, by a general embargo, all com merce and all navigation, rather than shamefully submit to that tri bute which the English impose on the navigation o all nations. Ger many, Italy, Switzerland Po land, are -peaceable, and wuit oniv for a maritime pv-ace to ex.rt a .! their industry. That peace is the wish of th world, but England opposes it ; and England is the enemy of th world. The French nation, al; Europe, knows the efforts made by your Majesty to obtain peace ; they know that your enterprizes are the immediate ft suit of the ii: suscess of the attempts which y ou have made to obtain it. The devotion of the French peo ple is without bounds 1 and it is more especially under circum stances which are so essentially connected with their honour and its security, that their sentiments will be evinced, and that they wili shew themselves worthy of reap ing that harvest of glory & honr which your Majesty has prepared for them.
