It will enable the merchants aud ma nufactures to keep goods to that a mount out of the market, which o- therwise must have been forced into it. This great aid ni l tend to im prove prices a little, and will remain in the hands of the country for 9, 12, 15, and 18 months. ,lt is to be funded in five instalments.” The fact stated in the above ex tract exhibits the situation to which the British merchants are reduced by orders in council, which the min istry still have the infatuation to preserve in. Wc say by the Orders in Council; for although we are 11- ware that the proximate came of the mercantile distress is the exclusion of British productions from the con tinent, the remote cause is'the ex istence of those novel blockades and orders in council which gave birth to the French decrees. It is indeed an important fact that this system has required the aid of a loan from go vernment to the merchants of near ly thirty millions of dollars ; for to that amount they must have suffered by the system, and will feel the pres sure much more, it is to be pre sumed, when the prohibition of importation to this* country shall have had its full effect. It is to this measure we may look for an aban donment of the orders in council with more probability of a fulfilment of our expectations, than to any di plomatic discussion either in this country or England.——Nat Lit.

January 1811. Bonaparte has at last succeeded in introducing anarchy and blood shed into these peaceful and tranquil countries. “ The insurrection has acquired a frightful aspect from the general inclination of the natives in favor of independence, & although our troops have constantly vanquished whene ver they have come into contact with the insurgents, it is painful to look forward to the issue of this fatal con test, in which not less than 40,000 men have already bitten the dust. (i Itt this capital and in the pro vinces towards the nothern coast their reigns the utmost tranquility inspired by the firmness and lalchts of the Viceroy, in whom the country has great confidence.” Extract of a letter from Vera Cruz dated January 28. “ We have received very interest ing intelligence from the interior, where the insurgents have lost two decisive ba'tles; the last bear GuardalaXary, was a death blow to the insurrection, inasmuch, the grand army of rebels, consisting of 100,000 men, has been completely routed, & all their artillery, 80 pieces of can non of various calibre, taken from them.” MEXICO, JAN. 10 An unfortunate attack has been made by the division of Gen. Paris, on the coast of Acapulco. He was surprised by the insurgents, who murdered him with a great number of other people, and dispersed the division under his command, with the loss of five cannon, their arms and baggage. On this intelligence being known, fifty dragoons were dispatched from this city to rein force the corps of Cosco, aud from \ r era Cruz 200 lancemen.

Code de la Cadena, with the ctnwrt regime tit, the dragOons of Spain and Mexico and from the frontiers, was to turn the right wing Of the insur gents, by making a circuit of about mile in Order to enable the troops to transport cannon to the height frotto whence they had a view of the insurgents; with orders to dislodge them in the positions they held, and to erect batteries on the eminence commanding the bridge to enable the troops to pdss. It w.is with much difficulty and risk he succeed ed in making himself master of that eminence; for the insurgents kept up a brisk fire of cannon, and a mul titude of armed insurgents opposed the troops, but regardless of every danger, they tharcued up keeping a constant fire of grape, until they gained the eminence—it being ne cessary to dispatch a company to as sist in carrying up the cannon, which was very difficult; owing to the rug gedness of the passage. In this po sition the general ordered the army to commence marching for the bridge but on a nearer approach it was dis covered that the insurgents had erec- a strong battery on the right, which kept Ujj a very sharp fire on the troops ; —ihe army Was directed instaht- ly to halt, and the general with one battalion of the column of grenadiers and some cavalry advanced on to gain possession of the bettery before nn- attempt was made to force the bridge; at the same time a company of sharp shooters was dispatched tor the spot, where the conde de la Cadena had taken his position to gain possession of a cannon belonging to the insur gents, which kept up a galling fire on the men. Words are inadequate to describe the gallantry displayed on the occasion. At ten o’clock the place afforded * most gloomy ap pearance, the left wing of the insur gents kept up a bhisk fire and made a desperate resistance to the Condo de la Cadena. On the Eight wing General Calleja found the like resis tance ; the company of riflemen sus tained the fire of the insurgent* can non until the Conde de ia Cadena forced the insurgents and proceeded to their assistance. After this the army succeeded in getting on the plain and the insurgents rushed on them, and commenced a fire of thir ty pieces of cannon fron* a battery which commanded the position of the troops. Three times were the troops attacked and three times were the insurgents repulsed. The enemy made a false attack, but, the troops being short of ammunition, it was ne cessary to make desperate resistance. Gen. Calleja perceiving the critical situation of general Flon, and hav ing driven the insurgents from the right, advanced with all the army by the bridge .aHd formed a junction with gen. Flon.
