Camfibellton, August 26. 7 PRINTING, In all its 'carious branches , exe cuted at this Office with neatnemt and dispatch. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 18 09 (Halt in advance. Late Foreign New±\ LONDON, September 8. Thi» day’s Gazette contains lettev # from Sir A. Wellesley (lord ton) and Sir Robert Wilson, giving account of the latter being defeated the french corps of marshal Ney, r< Bano9, after a desperate action of n ; ; hours, in which the enemy suitt.r: great loss in killed, especially of iht cavalry. September 11. Portuguese papers and letters a riv ed this morning to the 30th ult. lft following is an extract of a prints letter: “ Jhe whole of our army bos ’J| Spain. Sir A. Wellesley has his lie-'M quarters at Elvas, from which plac 1,« will march to Abrantes Gen. Bercs ford is at Caste Branco. They arc mid to hate been c-bliged to retire for want of provisions. The French have retire 1 to Madrid.” The Earl of Chatham is not yet ar rived, and it is reported that he i 9 ex tremely indisposed at Middkburgh. It is with much concern we state, that all the accounts received from the Scheldt, concur in stating that a great degree ot sickness prevails among the British troops in that quarter, and some mortality. Gottenburgh mail arrived last night with an account ol a severely contest <1 battle fought by the Swedes and Res sians, near Umca, in West Bothnia,on the 19th ult. in which the former was defeated; But the opposition which the Russians experienced Was so great, that, instead of attempting to advance they retreated from that position, which was •ccupicd on the 24th by the Swedes. A private letter received at Gotton burgli, on the 4th inst. states, that peace had been actually signed betwetn Swe den and Russia, by which Russia was to retain Finland, «nd the isle of ALud, and the demand of shutting the Swed ish ports against England was abandon ed. A private letter, dated Stockholm, the 30th last, gives a still more favo able account of the military operations in the vicinity of-Umea, than that pub* i bshtd in the Gottenburgh papers.— It says, “ the enemy has been forced to evacuate Umca; but I am sorry to say, that exploit has cost us dear. Thfc Joss of the Russians is, however much greater.’* September 15. Dispatches were received last night at the War Office, from the cotmuan dcr in chief in the Isle of Walcheren. They are dated Middleburgh, the 12th instant. The enemy we understand are collecting a consumable force in South Beveland; but it is not probable, altho’ there was a report last night to that ef fect, that they will make an immediate attempt on Walcheren. They must be perfectly well acquainted with the state i >f our army there, and of course know that any such attempt would be a work of supererogation. They have only to sit down quietly, in Beveland, until their allies, the climate and its disease s, have driven our remaining troops out of the island. According to the most recent accounts, the number of men in the hospitals amount to 9,670. So sudden and powerful is the effects of tne pre vailing disease, the men, when on du ty, frequently drop down, who had been in apparent good health the moment before they were struck by its pestilen tial influence. September 16. An order from the Admiralty reach ed Portsmouth yesterday, for the whole of the copper-bottomed transports, as sembled at Spithcad,to proceed to Lis bon with the Ajax man of war, which takes convoy to the Mediterranean. It is hence inferred that government have at length determined to evacuate the Spanish peninsula, and that the empty transports are sent to bring away our troops. The ministerial papers, how ever, continue to assure us, that Portu gal is and ought to be retained, and that Viscount Wellington is to receive, im mediately strong reinforcement for that ! purpose.
