BOSTON, Oct 24.
Yesterday arrived at this Jport, the
fast sailing brig Foster,
in 3 j clays from Malaga. Capt. F.
does not mention the resignation of
Cuv&ta, nor that any change was con
templated in the government. We
find the Supreme Junta still exercising
tilt Executive Power, tintl that the
Marquis of Romana has become a
member.
There appears to have beet) no mili
tary movements on the part of Uic An
glo-Spanish Army, or tlj* French op
posed to it, for some tim». At the
previous dates, the former had fallen
back a short distance, and the French
have not advanced, nor the others re
traced their steps. Sir A. Wcllesly
was on a visit at Budajoz, where were
several members of the Junta, making
arrangements for Uic better furnishing
ol the army with provisions.
A letter from tin* Supreme Junta at
Seville, dated Sept. 14, to Mr. Cra
vina, at Malaga, received on the 19th
Sept, (the day on which capt. F. sail
ed,) says that offi< i ! advices of the
breaking the Armistice l»y fconapartc,
hud been received at that city— that nil
action had t-ken place between the
French and Austians in consequence,
which terminated in the defeat of the
former.
Willi'.m Cobbett, alias Peter Poncu
piue, lias commenced a series of letters
on the politics of Hritaiu, addressed to
the King. He contends, that France
it!id the countries allied to her, have
an immense coasting trade, which is
a fruitful sour-e of private wealth and
public revenue —a prolific parent of
seamen—and the basis of a navy ;
That by the present system of warfare
she enjoys this trade witn impunity—
and her vessels flaunt their colours of
ten in sight, but out of the reach of
British Cniizers ; —That while this
trade remains, f i ance can never be
compelled to make peace; but must
progress to a final triumph over Eng
land ; and, finally, that he knows, and
■will shew how this vital commerce of
the French may be destroyed, His re
medy is promised to be given in his
concluding lette' s.
AUSTRIA.
From Porcupine's second letter to King
George.
It is not to be doubted, that Napo
leon «ill use the lights of a conqueror,
and bestow the territories of the Em
peror Francis, oi the greater part of
them, on those who he can confide in.
As to the people, it is evident their
wishes will never be consulted ; nor
does it appear to be at all necessary.
They seem to have been very calm and
indifferent spectators of the passing
events; and so they must have been,
seeing that 200,000 Frenchmen were
permitted to take possession of their
capital, and to over-run their country ;
a lesson, one would think, well Cal
culated to be Useful to all other govern
men's, if governments were capable of
receiving lessons. Eighteen million . 4of
people suffered two hundred thousand.
to take possession of their country,
■and that two hundred thousand being
seven or eight hundred miles from
home.' What a lesson! But, are we
to think, when we are told that these
eighteen millions of people were full of
“ loyalty." full ot “ enthusiasm ,” in the
cause of their country? I beseech your
majesty to mark this well; and to bear
it ..in mind, when’’you hear or read the
language of courtiers , or venal writers ,
or when, from the lungs or pens of con
irastors or jobbers , you hear those
songs, healths, and sentiments, which
the unprincipled retailers of news and
politics have the impudence to circu
late as the effusion of loyalty. Flow
often, alas ! were we told of the loyal
song and tunes at tlie theatres at Ber
lin and Vienna 1 How often were we
told of these proofs of enthusiastic loy
alty. How m uiy thousands of para
graphs have for our information, beta
translated from the German papers,
in which the writers of that country ap
pear almost to melt away in reading
the marks of th« people, attached to
their “ beloved sovereign.” We have
seen, and the sovereigns of Germany
has felt, what reliance is to be placed
upon such professions and protestati
ons; upon this miserable cant of loy
alty ; while the sovereign of Spain has
seen even those of his nobles nearest
to his person, lead the way over to his
enemy, and lend their hand to the im
prisonment of him, whom they had
formerly addressed on their knees.
DUBLIN, August 23.
We have accounts from Paris, that
Mr. Armstrong the American Am
bass ad* r, with his family and suite, is
preparing to quit that city. They are
to proceed from the French capital to
Holland, from which they are to sail
for their native country. War be
tween France and the Republic of the
United Slates was considered as inevi
table—Such it oeem»bas been the re
sult of the very cavulier declaration of
the Corsican, that he would allow of
no neutrality to exist, and that Ame
rica must make choice of France or
England for her enemy. Without any
reference to justice or policy, it is ma
nifest that the power which has the in
solence to make such a declaration to
a neutral state, has thereby committed
the first act of hostility, and should he
treated accordingly.
The Irish Legion serving under
Bonaparte, is said to be commanded
by a person of the name of O’Meara,
and not by Arthur O’Connor, as was
supposed, who lives retired about three
miles from Paris. O’Meara had dis
tinguished himself in several actions,
and on the particular and personal re
commendation of general Clarke, was
appointed by Bonaparte to the com
mand of his countryrnyn.

■Fort William, Jan. 30, 1809.
The right hon. the {governor
general in council has received
the satisfactory intelligence that
a detachment of the subsidiary ;
force at Hydra bad, under the
command oflieut. col. Doveton,
consisting of a corps of horse ar
tillery, two regiments of native
infantry, employed in the pro
vince of Candeish, in pursuit of
the predatory force of the chiefs,
Moheput Row Hoikar, Wahid
Ali Khan, and Dandieu Khan,
after a forced march of near 100
miles have succeeded in sur
prising the enemy at the fort of
Almanair, on the morning of
the 28th ult. effected the com
plete dispersion of their troops,
consisting of between 4 and
5000 men, cavalry and infantry,
and {captured the whole of their
guns, baggage and camp equip
age, and near 1000 horse ; the
loss on the part of the enemy, is
stated to have been very great;
on the part of the British detach
ment between 20 and 30 men
killed and wounded.
The gov. gen. in council
deems it proper, on this occa
sion, to express, in the most
public manner, the right sense
which he entertains of the zeal,
judgment and activity manifest
ed by lieut. fcol. Doveton, in
planning and executing this ar
duous enterprise; and of the
distinguished perseverance, ex
ertion and gallantry' of the officers
and aroops under his command,
in accomplishing a march of
near 100 miles in the space of
48 hours, and immediately at
tacking and defeating a superior
force of the enemy, whose dc
predations in the .province of
Candeish, and the territories of
the allies of the British govern
ment, had so long disturbed the
tranquility of the Decken, and
had rendered necessary a com
bined movement of divisions of
j the subsidiary forces of Poona
and Hydrabad under the general
direction of col. Wallace, com
manding the subsidiary force at
Poona.
His lordship, in council, has
great satisfaction also, in ac
knowledging on this occasion,
the judgment and personal abili
ty displayed bv col. Wallace,
in framing the plan of combined
opcratiunvbctween the two di
visions of the subsidiary forces,
which led to the brilliant at
chievement devised by lieuten
ant col. Doveton, and executed
under his personal command,
with such exemplary' success.

God save the King —Lately, in Dub- j
lin, the ceremony of electing seven !
Knights of St. Patrick’s Hall, the first
toast, “ The King,” is given with so
lemn reverence, the Grand Master and
all the Knights standing up, uncover
ed, and the band, while the toast U
drinking, should, according to eti
quette play, “ God save the King.”
sir Chichester Fortescue, herald at
arms, gave the signal, and the band
struck up, not “ God save the King,”
bnt Patrick’s Day in the Morning I to
the utter dismay of Sir Chichester who
manifested strong signs of impatience
and disapprobation, which, however,
were mistaken by the unfortunate fid
dlers ’for an intimation to play faster,
which they did so effectually, as to
conquer the gravity of the Duke
Knights, who were obliged to put their
plumed hats before their faces to con
ceal their laugh Ur. Sir Chichester,
choaking with rage, darted towards
tiie Orchestra, exclaiming “ God
save the King and be d—- n’d to you
all !!”—This was 100 much for human
%
nstnre to bein’; a general roar of
laugnter burt forth, and it was some
minutes before order could be restor
ed.—London fiujier.
