FROM SPAIN & PORTUGAL. Wc were yesterday favored with Lisbon papers to September S, recei ved by the Promo. A letter from that place says what military opera tions are to take place the present season, must he long delayed; as the rainy siiison will otherwise ren der an armistice ’till February al most indispensable. The papers sfty, that in Catalonia the marshal I^arrola has routed a corps of 3000 French, which sallied lroin Barcelona, causing the loss of 213 killed and wounded, and many were made prisoners. A battle took place n-at Soria, in which the French lo.it 4od men.. The Spaniards have intercepted some French dispatches, the contents of which induced a belief that Spain was to abate the fate of Holland. They mention the appointment of French Governors to Spanish de partments. A letter from Lisbon, of Sept. 9, savs——“ Mr. Jarvis, Consul at this port, has been recalled by the President—and it is expected he is to be promoted to a more impor tant office.” Captain Crowell, from Valencia, which he left 21st August, informs that the French had about 10,000 men about 8 miles from that place ; Jut they were waiting for further DO a! iaSTi C. Astonishing' Prosperity.— Tire town of Utica is pleasantly .situated on tilt South ban!: ol the Mohawk river, a bout 70 miles to the Westward of the c:ty of Albany. It stands on the site of old fort Schuyler. Srn. the American war it was a com L wilderness, The land on w hich U tic.i now stands could have been pm- citased twenty five years ago, as wc are informed, for a dollar an acre. A small trtanguLu lot at the cornet ol two streets in the village, part ot the same land, sold a lew weeks ago at the rate ot 300,000 D:liars per Acre. In the year 1794 there were only two houses in this town ; in 1800, it consisted of several streets, and contained two thousand inhabi tants. We are inclined to think that f ont its rapid improvement and fa vorable situation lor trade, its popu lation since the last census hits tre- bled itself. The communication be tween Utica and Atbant is interrupt ed by a land carriage only of l(j miles, owing to the falls near the mouth of the Mohawk river. CBaltimore American.J GOV. GALUSHA’S SPEECH. EX TRACTS From the Speech ol Jonas Galusha, Esq. Governor of Vermont, deli vered in October, !) , fore both bran ches of the Legislature. “ We have the means of Wealth and improvement within our own territory ; and were we to turn our attention to our internal resources, and foster our infant manufactures, the belligerent nations ot Europe would soon seek our friendship, court our trade, and render juit re- tribution tor the injuries they nav< done us. But notwithstanding all the privations by foreign powers and the unhappy divisions among our selves, we have yet these pleasing reflection*. Our civil and religious liberties, bestowed on us bv the God of nature, and guaranteed by the re publican institutions of our country, remain unitnpared. The hand of industry- is not slackened, and the poor have not wanted for that cm- plot ment which has yielded them a comfortable support.

The ma nufactures, in various parts of the country, are increasing with a rapidi ty unparalleled ; and the pride of A- mertcans begins to be gratified with a dress of our own manufacturing. And I trust, the time is not tar dis tant, when the citizens of the U. S. instead of relying on foreign coun tries for their cloathing, will be able not only to supply their own wants, but to export every kind, ol cotton, if not woollen goods ; and restore to the union that portion of specie,, which has been drawn from us by the excessive use of foreign manu factured goods. “ If any further legislative aid should he deemed necessary for the encouragement of domestic manu factures, I doubt not but that they will receive from you all that sup port, which the circuntstancesiof the state will admit. “ Wr have recent inte'iig'-nce that the etnperot of France ha te.olced his B ilia snd Milan decrees andalthough tins is not officially.announced, yet we have hide realow to doubt but the infor mation in correct.

C Balt, paper.) ) St. Louis, Sept. 13. A few weeks ago we published an account of the attack and defeat of captain Cole’s party on the. frontiers of the district of St. Charles, by a gang of unknown Indians. Yesterday we received such cir cumstantial information'as leaves no room to doubt of the Putawatamie* being the perpetrators. A Sac has given up a bridle, which be says he got in an exchange of horses with the Putawatamies.—The Sac chiefs have sent word to Gen. Clark, that the Putaws who live near lake Michi gan, have in their possession five American horses, a silver mounted rifle, a half worn saddle, plated kpurs,. and some articles which appear iikef the apparel of white people. The general expects certain information in a few weeks which will authorise a demand to be made of those Indian murderers.
