Very late from Spam. 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. EAST-INDIES. ■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. N. B. ED MONSTONE, c. s. 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. In a London paper a proposal has been made to celebrate the. 26th of October last, by a na tional jubilee, as his majesty will on that clay enter the 50th year of his reign; an e vent that has not occurred since the reign of Edward the 111. and only twice in 1200 years. On the 15th of August last, Napoleon Bonaparte attained his 40th year. Died, on the 26 of Augut, at Stewart-Hall, county of Tyrone, (Ireland) at a very advanced age, , Andrew Thomas, Earl of 6astlcstewart, no less eminent for the integrity and indepen dence of his mind, than for his illustrious descent. He was the acknowledged head of the House of Stewart, being immediately descended, in the male and legi timate line, from Robert, the 2d King of Scotland. By his dis consolate widow, (daughter of the late Judge Sill,) he left two sons and two daughters. His lordship is succeeded by his eld est son, Robert, now Earl of j castlestewart- B. Hall, & Co.
