On the 14th of November, at day- break, the Jannissaries assembled from all quarters, auJ being reinforced by those who were in the vicinity of Comtantinople, they fell upon the Seimens of the Nizaia Gtsdid, and massacred all the partisans of the Grant! Vi/ ier that came in their way. The contest spread to every street in Constantinople. The Seimens long- made a mo t- obstinate resistance, but at last, they were compelled to submit.. Many of their party deserted to the Jani varies at the commencement of the insurrection. On the 15 th, the Janissaries assaulted the high walls of the Seraglio; at this moment the Grand Vizier ( after causing the unfortunate Mustapha IV. who was a prisoner there, to be strangled) blew himself up with gunpowder, of which he purposely provided a large quantity before- hand, to prevent his falling ali? e into the hands ot' his enemies. Oil the lSt. h, when the courier left Constantinople, the utmost coiifuiiou jn- evaiied there. A dreadful tire had broke out, and during the wh de of the following night he saw a glow in the sky, from which he concluded that the fire was st ill raging.— The fate of the reigning Sovereign, Mahomet, is not yet ascertained -, but it is feared that he has been the victim of the Revolution. VIENNA, DCC. 17.— Mustapha Baraicter, accord- ing to the last advices from Constantinople, was not killed, as had been reported, by the explosion of a powder maga- zine, but had effected his escape with the Grand Seignior, Mahomet IL on bo rd one of the vessels in the harbour ; the Admiral of the Turkish fleet, Seid Aly, being his friend. Oft the 13tli ult. tl » e ships of war were bombarding and cannonading the posts in the city occupied by the Janissaries ; and considerable fears were entertained for the safety of the Foreign Ambassadors, in the suburb of pera. The blood that had been shed was beyond all conception. LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY IS. MARK- LANE, Monday, Jan. 16. We had large arrivals of Wheat to- day, which, with that on hand, made the quantity greater than on any preceding day in the present season. The supply of Barley, Beans, and Oats, was eqhally plentiful. The demand for'the latter articles was however so brisk, th. t there was no decline in the price of any article but Wheat.— Barley, Oats, Boiling Peas, Malt, and Flour, are ail dearer. A small quantity of superfine White Wheat, at an early hour, went as high as 51. afterwards ,98s. was a top price for picked parcels, 96 s. for prime runs, down. to 88s. for blighted cold samples, and 92s'. to ;> 4s. for prime Red Wheat.

Dutch papers td the Ist inst. reached town yesterday. The only intelligence they contained is an article from Vienna, dated the 14th ult. stating that another revo- lution had taken place at Constantinople. It was supposed that Mustapha Baraicter, the Grand Vizier, had fallen. But further- Dutch pajters were received this morni g, and these have an article from Vienna, dated th" 17th ult. from which we learn that Mustapha Baraicter bad not fallen, but ) wd retreated to the shipping, The blowing up of a part of the Seraglio was probably a feint to : ecure his retreat. When the last accounts left Constantinople, it wis im- possible to tell how the Sanguinary, conflict between the Janis- aries and the adherents of Baraioter would end. It was known that Baraieter had taken an effectual step to prevent the Janissaries from restoring the Sultan whom he S » : l deposed, Mustapha IV. by causing him to be strangled ; and that he had secured the persun of Mahomet li. in whose name he had acted, and who is the last remaining Hale of the Othmars bra nth, by carrying this puppet Sultan with him on board the fioet. We have copied above the only articles which contain any account of these extra- ' ordinary events. The Dut< h Papers contain news from Paris to tb. e 27th inst. but they give us very little information respecting the state of affairs in Spain. General Mortier, it is saWl, was at Logrono on the 12th, and was to be iu front of iiatagossa on the 15th. Great preparations were making for bes; eging the place in form; but the French Papers tleclare, that such is the humanity of Bonaparte, that neither a bombardment nor mines will be used, unless the oistinuc? of the inhabitants should render it necessary. The King of Prussia, instead of returning to his capital, how that the French have evacuated it, is going to pay the Emperor irf Russia a visit at St. Petersburgh. Captain Cock-, of the Townshend packet, arrived in town yesterday from the Brazils, with dispatches from the Portuguese Government, and Sir S. Smith, which arc- Said to be of a very agreeable nature. The Townshend performed the voyage from Rio Janeiro to Falmouth in forty- one days* It is stated in letters from the Brazils, dated Oct. 3, that the British ships of war on that coast were stationed as . follows : In the harbour of Rio Janeiro, re- fitting:— The Fou- drovant, Rear- Admiral Sir S. Smith, Captain Schomberg; Marlborough, Commodore Graham Moore; President, Captain Mackenzie ; Hyacinth, Captain Davies ; Serapis, ( store- ship,) Pitt and Naur y, ( brigs.) and Viper, ( schooner). In the? River La Plata— Monarch, Commodore Lee ; Bedford, Sir James Walker; Agamemnon. Capt. Rose; two armed transports, and two Portuguese brigs of war. Isle Grande— London, Sir Thomas Western, attending the Prince Regent, at Santa Cruz. Survei'daiite, Confiance, Lightning, cruizing on dif- ferent points of the coast. The Prince Regent and his Consort have conferred high honours and rewards on Sir Sidney Smith and many of the Captains iu his fleet. Sir Sidney has been presented with a palace called Villa Braganza, and an estate annexed worth TOrtOi. a year. Sir T. Western, of the London, has also been presented with an estate and eattle to stock it, and is to be installed Grand Cross of the Royal Orders. Sir Sidney Smith bad given a grand fete at Villa Brsganza, at which the Princess of Brazil was present, and also the Spanish Officers " deputed from Buenos Ayres, who recog- ni- ed in her Royal Highness the legitimate heir of the Spanish Crown, " during the imprisonment of the elder branches of the Royal Family. Notwithstanding the good understanding between our Officers and the Court of the Brazils, our Diplomatic Agents and the Prince's Ministers are said to di- agree. 1' he capital is overstocked with European goods, the mer- • chants have sustained heavy losses, and complain loudly that sufficient facility is not ijveri to the admission of their goods into the interior. Tie Spaniards al^ o decline an extension of their dealings- with us at Buenos Ayres. But as we know the avidity of mercantile speculation, these di- agreements and complaints may have no other foundation that* that reasonable jealousy which the in- habitants may entertain of our engrossing their trade, and i pru. lent attention- of the Prince Regent to his own sub- jects and his peculiar situation. We are concerned to state, that advice has been received of ( he loss of th- whole of the bxggage of the 10th and 15th Regiments of Light Dragoons, which, with seventy soldiers' wives of those two corps, were cut off by a partv of the enemy.— Morning Herald. The Active armed cutter, on Thursday night, cap- tured a small French lugger, mounting one gun, and manned with 18 men, having on board several packets of French papers, to be distributed about the coast. The capture of thi; vessel explains a circumstance which cer- tainly appeared singular— by what means casks with news- papers vere made to float so directly from Boulogne lo the Kentish coast. It now appears that the French se id over vessels in the evening, to throw the casks containing the priiers within reach of the current, that sets into the coast at certain periods of the tide. A fine Russian frigate, from the Baltic for the Brazils, came up to Leith Roads I'ast Monday evening, in a leaky and damaged state, and was taken possession of by the Ardent frigate In consequence of Lord Collingwood's desire to return borne, Admiral Berkeley, who is gone out to take the command at Lisbon, is to succeed Lord Collingwood in the Mediterranean, and Admiral Stopford is ap5* mted to the Lisbon station, vice Admiral Berkeley. Dr. Lawrence has been suddenly taken ill, and is in so dangerous a way that there is little hope of his re- covery. The Committee of Privy Council, which had assembled on Saturday on Prize Appeals, was obliged to adjourn, in consequence of the learned Doeter's indispo- sition, without transacting any business, he being en- gaged in most of tbe causes.

Government yesterday received dispatches from General I'revost, who has arrived with bis Expedition off Martinique. As he has thought proper to send adv ices home before commencing bis operations, it is believed, that he has stated to Ministers various difficulties which he is likely tu encounter iu the attack of the French islands. It is said Government are in possession of intelli- gence from Buenos Ayres, which places them in a delicate situation as to the line of policy which it may be adviseable to pursue in regard to the Spanish settlements in South America.— It is understood that the general wish of those situated on the hanks of the River Plate is to emancipate themselves altogether from subjection to the 1' arent State but that they wish to preserve a monarchical form of Go- vernment, and it has been presumed that a branch of tile Roviil Family of Spain might be preferred as the Sovereign before that o'f any other.— To sound them on this subject, we are told Sir Sidney Smith has sailed on a special mission to Monte Video. Another vessel is arrived from America: she is a S vede, called the Mal tha Margaretta, and commanded by Ciplain Dirks. She sailed from Baltimore on the 6' th of D • eeniber, and is arrived at Dartmouth. She brings about 10 I hogsheads of tobacco, and some other articles of Ame- r. cm produce, which she had taken in previous to the 1 yiug on of the embargo, after which she was not allowed t) till up her loading. Several passengers are arrived iu her. Another breach of the American Embargo Law has been committed.— A letter from Kinsale, of the 10th inst. was on Monday posted at Lloyd's, announcing the arrival at that port of the Sally, Capt. I'earce, from Virginia, bound to Liverpool, with 336 hogsheads of Tobacco. The Master reports, that the embargo is taken off; but as our last accounts from America do not sanction the belief of such a statement, we can only give the Captain credit for hiving found means to violate the restrictions imposed by fall Government. Captain Goodal), who was sent home from Jamaica in the Raven brig as a prisoner of State, has been ordered bv tbe S ecretary of State for the War and Colonial Depart- ment to be released from his confinement, without being compelled to enter into the usual bond. The Military Officers in the Company's service in India have established a fund, from which, if an Officer dies married, his widow is entitled to receive an annual 4 Ml. for herself, and 40/. per annum for each child her h . baud may have left, until the children respectively a tain the age of 14 years, when each child is to have a d mation of 300/. to fit them out in whatever situation they m y prefer.— This Institution is in a very prosperous situa- tio i, liberal donations having been made to it by some pe sonages of high rank in India. The following particulars, respecting the capture of his Majesty's schooner Rook, were communicated in a letter from the Master, who succeeded Lieutenant Lawrence in the command of the ship: and from the mouth of the only survivor of the unfortunate crew who has hitherto reached England, and who himself was shot through the wrist and shoulder, besides some wounds with a cutlass :— " The Rook, Lieutenant James Lawrence, sailed from Plymouth, under the orders of Admiral Young, on the 24th of June, 1808, with dispatches for the West Indies. After a fine passage she arrived at Jamaica, from whence, lifter having waited a few days to refit, anil take in specie, she sailed for England, August 13th. For two days they were fu!! oived by a French schooner ( which is pretty gene- rally the case when a ship has any money on board, arid of which intelligence is soon gained at some of the French i lands), but whom they beat off. On the 18th of August, at day- light, they fell in with two French schooners, and immediately cleared for action: on the largest vessel coming alongside with English colours, and not answering when hailed, but immediately hoisting French colours, Lieut. Lawrence shot the French Captain, when a most desperate action commenced: after an hour's hard lighting, Lieut. L. received his last wound by a musket ball, and the Rook was immediately carried by boarding, the French Officers repeatedly iV. ling to their men to give no quarter. " Mr. Stewart, the Master, received seven most des- perate wounds with a cutla s, butsuivived, though he is since dead of the yellow fever. Mr. Donnelly, the Clerk, was also dangerously wounded in the groin, but is now recovered. Mr. George Reed, an Officer in the Royal Artillery, who has served his country on the Island of Jamaica for 20 years, and who was related by marriage to Lieutenant Lawrence, was induced to embark on board the Rook, with a very considerable propurty, in hopes to re- visit his native country; but was inhumanly killed by the enemy when boarding; and so eager were they to get possession of a valuable ring which he happened to have on his finger, that they nearly cut his hand off to obtain it. The survivors were stripped naked, put in their boat and turned adrift; but by the exertions of four who were not wounded, they reached land and were most hospitably re- ceived by the natives. The Rook wan so much damaged hat the enemy could not get her into port, and therefore e » fire to her. " Lieut. Lawrence was a native of Hampshire, of a very respectable family, and added to the intrepid courage anil humanity of the British seaman, a suavity of manners ami disposition which endeared him to a numerous circle of relations and friends, by whom his memory mil be long cheri- htd. He fell at tbe age of 28 years, leaWng behind him a widow and infant daughter to lament his loss." The CRESCENT FRIGATE.— The melancholy particulars of the loss of this ship, of which we had before only brief notice, are now come to hand. On the 6th of December she struck on the coast of Jutland, and was completely wrecked. Her complement consisted of 273 men, and she had besides on board one passenger, six women, and one child; in all, 280 person- Of these, only Go were saved ; 240 perished. The following are the names of the Officers lost:— Capt. Temple, Commander of the ship; Lieut. Kerwin, Lieut. Maclean, Lieut. Stokes, li. N.; Lieut. Snodie, Royal Marines; Mr. Hosier, purser; Mr. Roll,, surgeon ; Messrs. An « on, Wallace, Hacker, O'Don- md, Willis, Wytte, Houghton, Jim. Spurgeon, Knight, Midshipmen; Mr. Colter, carpenter; Mr. Williams, gun- ner; besides Mr. Bradford, passenger,} one child, and six women I together with 191 seamen and marines.— The s irvivurs are, Mr. N « ilson Williamson, the master ; first Lieutenant John Weaver, of the Marines; Tho. Mason, Clerk ; F. Houghton, J. U. Lavender, and John Mttnro, Midshipmen; M. Walker, Boatswain; and 53seamen.— The ship struck at ten o'clock at night on the b'th, near Robsnocht. The exertions <> f both Officers and men to Save her were beyond description, though unavailing. Tv » o pilots were drowned in the attempt. At live the n'xt morning she went to pieces, and it was with great difficulty the survivors were saved by the jolly boat and a raft. Mr. Weaver, Mr. Lavender. Mr. Mason, and others, were repeatedly washed off the raft, by the sea breaking tiver them. \ Y hen the ship Darted, Capt. Temple ordered Mr. Weaver to take charge DF the raft, and WHS not seen r'ter . yards.— The Danes humanely afforded every assistance : tt ih'ir power. \ Vh » n the survivors landed, th « y were 1.1k'n to Robsnociit the smtie evening, the next day to Os- \- rtf » . derstaw, ajid the dav after to Otburgh, when' they are euwlurtaWy ludgwJ, rail treated r- ith great K'ma. tvU.

A recontre of a curious nature is abo'ut to take place be- tween Richinan, the Black, and a Bear; tbe former is to be armed with a quarter- staff, and the latter, who has been for Sometime in training, to make him as savage as possible, is to meet his antagonist unmuzzled, and quite art libitum.

She had lost her bonnet, cap, arid shoes : the feet of her stockings were entirely worn away, and her feet were lacerated to the bone. SEDUCTION.— The daughter of a respectable tradesman at Kingston, having been permitted by her father to spend her Christmas holidays with a schoolfellow at Hampton- court, was observed in the Palace Cloisters by an Officer quartered in the neighbourhood. The girl, being only in her loth year, was pleased with the attentions of the Officer, and persuaded to elope with him on Friday last. Her father was soon made acquainted with his daughter's absence, with such particulars as enabled him to guess the cause. In astate little short of distraction he applied to the Magis- trates at How- street, who directed two of the Police Officers to assist him in searching for his daughter. They soon discovered that the fugitive-, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, had walked from Hampton Court to Hounslow, where they procured a post- chaise, which broke down at Hammersmith, and another chaise conveyed them to Leicester- fields, but they could not be traced further, the driver stating that he sat them down in the open street. The officers, however, continued their search the whole of that night and the three- following days, and on Monday night they discovered the rotreat of the fugitives, at a lodging in Dean- street, Soho. They com-' rained the young lady to leave her paramour, and conveyed her to her father's house at Kingston ; but by i his time agitation and want of rest had occasioned a derangement of intellects in the wretched parent, and it has been found unadvisable to admit her to his presence, though she has earnestly begged permission to throw herself at his feet to implore forgive- ness. POLICE.— On Saturday John Thorpby, a notorious cha- racter, was brought up to Bow- street, charged with having been concerned in breaking open the house of Mr, Read, in High- street, Portsmouth, on the night of the 2* th of last month, and stealing jewels, watches, and plate, to the amount ol about 1000/. Tbornby was taken at a public- house in Redfordbury, to which he had been traced by R. Liinbei iek, one of the Bow- street Officers, on information of his having been concerned in the robbery. When Lini- betiek first told Thornby that he " wanted to speak with him," Thornby attempted to take a pistol from his pocket, which being observed by the officer, he gave a signal to an assistant to strike Thornby; a violent scuffle ensued, and when Thornby, after fighting desperately a long time, was obliged to yield, two loaded pistols were found on him.— He was committed for further examination. Oil Saturday evening, on the arrival of the Southamp- ton coach at the Bell Savage Inn, on Ludgate- liill, when the coach was unloaded, Mr. Prockter missed a box, and being informed that one Joseph Browne, whom he had lately discharged, was seen in the yard when the coach came in, he sent information of the circumstances to Bow. street. Two of the officers ( Savers and Atkins) were dis- patched ill search of Browne, who soon traced hiin out, and entered his room, at a chandler's shop in Drury- lane, at the instant he had broken open the box, and was sorting its contents, cliietly fine worked muslins, worth upwards of 200/. Tho box waa directed to Jackson, Lewis, and Co. St. Paul's Church- yard. Browne was taken into custody, and conveyed to the office in Bow- street, fiom whence be has been committed for trial. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.— On Monday Patrick M'Mahon, who has been concerned in numerous swindling transac- tions, having, belonged to one of those gangs of cheats who hire counting- houses, and drart- bills on each other which they have no intention of paying, was tried for defrauding Colonel Greville of a chaise, which he purchased under pretence that he was a linen merchant, about to set off for Dublin, and already provided with a strong horse. He saitl he should go through Wales, being much attracted by the romantic views in that country. He paid for the chaise by a ficticious bill on the sham firm of Ryan and Co. Sherborne- lane. He was found guilty, which may give hiin an opportunity of admiring the romantic views in New South Wales, to which country he was yesterday sentenced to be transported for seven years. Alexander Burdon, F/ q. convicted of perjury, was also yesterday brought up, and received the following sentence, — to be imprisoned six months in the House of Correction, and to pay a fine of 500/. OI. D BAILEY.— On Saturday Margaret Harrington, alias Graham, alias Grimes, ( formerly the wife of tht: noted George Barrington) was indicted for obtaining at Doctor's Commons, by a false oath, letters of administration as the widow of Thomas Wroughton, a soldier, who died on board the Eurus sloop of war, in 1306, in order To obtain 24/. 6s. prize money, with intent to defraudthe Chest at Green- wich. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been three different times to the Commons, and as often warned by a Clerk in the office not to persist in her demand, as he was convinced it was fraudulent. On her returning a fourth time, she was taken into custody, the necessary enquiries were made, and her tale was completely refuted.— Guilty. The trials on Monday and Tuesday were uninteresting. Oil the latter day sentence of death was passed on Margaret Barrington, alias Grimes, for fraudulently obtaining letters of administration ; Margaret Harrington, for uttering counterfeit money ; Charles James, for stealing goods on the river Thames; T. Rose, for stealing goods in a dwel- ling- house ; W. Hatchman, for a highway robbery ; D. Geary, for horse- stealing ; and J. Nicholls, for forger)'.

At halt- pa^ t three o'clock, the Archbishop of Canter- bury, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Montrose, and Earl Camden, having Been appointed Commissioners by his Majesty, took their seats accordingly ; and the Com- mons having arrived at the bar, with their Speaker, the Lord Chancellor, in pur- uance of his Majesty's orders, fead the following Speech : My Lordand Gentlemen-, We have it 111 command from bis Majesty to state to you, that his Majesty lias called you together in parfect confidence that you are prepared cordially to support his Majesty in the prosecution of a war, which there is no hope of terminating safely an. l honourably, except through vigorous and perse- vering exertion. We are to acquaint you. that his Majesty has directed to be laid before you, copies of the proposals for opening a'negocia- tion, which were transmitted to his Majesty from Erfurth ; and of the correspondence which thereupon took place with the Governments of Russia and of France; together with the declaration issued by his Majesty's command 011 the termi- nation of that correspondence. liis Majesty is persuaded that you will participate in the feelings which were expressed by his Majesty, when it was required that his Majesty should consent to" commence the negotiation by alandoning the cause of Spain, which he had so recently and solemnly espoused. We are commanded to inform you, that his Majesty conti- nues to receive from the Spanish Government the strongest assurances of their determined perseverance in the cause of the legitimate M marchy, and of the national independence of Spain ; and ro assure you, that so long as the people of Spain shall rema1 1 true to themselves, his Majesty will conti- nu ' to tnem his most strenuous assistance and support. His Majesty has renewed to the Spanish nation, in the mo- ment of its difficulties and reverses, the engagements which he voluntarily contracted at the outset of its struggle against th; usurpation and tyranny of France; and we are commanded t) acquaint you, that these engagements have been reduced ' into the form of a treaty of alliance : which treatv, sc soon as the ratification* shall have been exchanged, his Majesty will cause to be laid before you. His Majesty commands us to state to you^ that while his Tilijesty contemplated with the liveliest satisfaction the achievements of his forces in the commencement of the cam- paisn in Portugal, and the deliverance of the kingdom of his Ally from the presence and oppressions of the French army, his Majesty most deeply regretted the termination of that cam- paign by an atmistice and convention, of some of the articles, of which his Majesty has felt himself obliged formally to de- clar." his disapprobation. We are to express to you his Majesty's reliance on your dis- position to enable his Majesty to continue the aid afforded by his Majesty to the King of Sweden: that monarch derives a pecu iar claim to hi- Maiesty.' s support in tfie present exigency of his affairs, from having concurred with his Majesty in the propriety of rejecting any proposal 01 negotiation to which the Government of Spain was not to be admitted as a party. Gentlcmni of the House of Co) tt* iiors, We are commanded by bis Majesty to inform you, that he has directed t*: e estimates of the current year to be laid before you. His Majesty relies upon your zeal and affection to make such farther froeisiori of supply as the vigorous prosecution of the war may render necessary ; and he trusts that you may be epabled t » find the means of providing such supply with out any great or in. mediate increase of the existing burthens upon his people. 11( 4 Majesty feels assured that it will be highly satisfactory to you* to learn, that, notwithstanding the measures resorted to by the enemy for the purpose of destroying the commerce and resources of his kingdom, the public revenue has conti- nued in a course of progressive improvement, My birds, aid GerMenfen, We i. re directed to inform you, that the measure adopted hy Parliament in the last session for establishing a Local Mi- litia has been already attended with the happiest success, and promises to be extensively and permanently beneficial to the country. We have received hiMajesty's commands most especially to recommend to you, that, duly weighing the immense inte- rests which are at stake in the war now carrying on, you should procecd, with as little delay as possible, to consider of the most effectual measures for the augmentation of the regular army, in order that his Majesty may be the better enabled, without impairing the means of'defence at home, to avail himself of the military power of his dominions in the great contest in which he is engaged; and to conduct that contest, under the blessing of Div ine Providence, to a con- clusion compatible with the honour of his Majesty's Crown, and with the interests of his Allies, of Europe, and' of the " World. The usual forms having been gone through, and the speech having again been read from the Woolsack, and also by the Clerk, The Earl of firidgeu- ater rose to move an Address of Thanks to his Majesty, prefacing the motion with a very brief notice of the leading topics hi the speech. With re- » ct to the rupture of the negoeiation ( if the overture from Erfurth deserved to be so called), there could be little difference of opinion r it was impossible to negociate upon the terms proposed, the chief of which was, that we should withdraw all protection from Spain, and leave it to the ty- ranny tli. it wm preparing to overwhelm it. In regard to the transactions in Portugal, whatever dilference. of opinion might have prevailed respecting the Convention of Cintra, there was none respecting the bravery of that portion of the British army, which so gloriously distinguished itself at the battle of Yimiera. The necessity of augmenting our military force, of supporting Sweden, and of affording every assistance in hur power to Spain, would be admitted on all hands.— He congratulated their Lordships on. the flourishing state of the revenue, thanked them for the indulgence with which they had heard him, and concluding with moving and reading the Address. ' Lord- Sheffield seconded the Noble Earl.— lie expressed great satisfaction with the conduct of Ministers. The vi- gour and promptitude of our exertions, combined with the efforts of the Spaniards, would, he trusted, . ultimately contribute to establish the independence of. Spain, however advene appearance* may have been for some time past.— Minister , in his opinion, were worthy of praise for the firmness with which they shewed themselves determined to maintain the maritime ascendancy, and the commercial prosperity of this kingdom, The embargo in Ameriea, the chief, if not sole object of which ( However pertina- ciously it may have been disclaimed by that Government) was to distress, and if possible to annihilate the trade of this country, had entirely failed, and not only failed, but fallen with an insupportable weight upon the Inited States. Earl St. Vincent expressed his unqualified disapproba- tion of the whole conduct of Ministers; of every thing they had done with respect to Spain— of every thing they had done with respect to Portogal, of almost every thing they had done since tliey came. Into pirtver, and particularly for the last ix months. The Noble Lord who seconded ths Address tallied of the vigour and efficacy of their measures. Vigour and efficacy indeed^ When their whole conduct was marked by vacillation and incompetence. If men so notoriously incapable were not immediately re- moved, the country was undone.— There was one part, however, of the Address and of the Speech in which he cordially agreed, that which condemned the Armistice and Convention. It was the greatest disgrace that had befallen the British Anns. Ministers had indeed provided plenty of transports in the Tagu , as any one m'ght do who would give a little more than the market price ; and they had uuneeessarily given for them much more than they ought to have done. And how were these employed ? Why in conveying Junot and bis runaway ruffians, with their plunder and exactions, to France. It was with shame and'sorrow that he saw men of the highest rank in the British army and navy, superintending tho embarkation of this enormous fund of rapine and eonfisca tion, and conducting it, and the devils who had thus acquired a property in it, to those parts of France nearest to Spain, from whence they were enabled to enter that country sooner than the brave fellows to whom they sur- rendered, and wore now engaged in chasing Sir John Moore from the Peninsula. If they meant really, to assist tie Spaniards, why did not Ministers send troops in the fir- t instance to the North of Spain? Why did they send one part of them to Lisbon and another to Corunna, from which points no . junction could be effected without being exposed to toilsome marches, and such privations as could hardly he conceived by persons not acquainted with those countries ? It. seemed to him as if they were totally igno- rant of the geography of the country they appeared so eager to defend. He would say to his Majesty, that if these men were not removed, the kingdom was lost. There was no part of their conduct liable to greater censure than that which related to the command of the army. He would be the last man in the, kingdom to detract from the professional character of Officers, but on so momentous an occasion, he wished to see some of the Princes of the Blood, who had been trained to arms from their youth, and many of whom had seen a great deal of arduous service; lie alluded* particularly to one ( the Duke of Kent). These were the proper men to command oil thif occasion. If it was not thought proper to employ these illustrious persons, there were others to whom the army looked up. There was one ( the Earl of Moira, we believe), who from his early career of glory was peculiarly qualified for a command of this description. The Noble Earl next adverted to the Court of Enquiry, which he considered as an expedient rather to cover some blot in their own conduct, than to do justice to the Officers who were the ostensible objects of its proceed- ings, or to satisfy the country.— The case of the senior Officer 011 that occasion, was particularly hard : he was to be responsible for every thing; and yet he was to do nothing without consulting the third in command. If the House would do their duty, they would go to the' foot of the Throne, and implore his Majesty'to remove from his Coun- cils those, men whose measures would briti? inevitable ruin on the country. In earnestly recommending this, he was not swayed by personal considerations. In a few hours he should enter into his 75th year, G1 of which he had been in his Majesty's service. At his time of life, and under the existing and increasing embarrassments of the country, he could not be suspected of being very anxious to return to office. Karl Grosvenor cordially approved of that part of the Speech which expressed a determination to give all possi- ble assistance to the Spaniards, so long as they should be true to themselves. He also concurred in that part which expressed disapprobation of the Convention of Cintra ; but he should liave been better pleased if that disapprobation had been- followed by an avowal that ulterior measures were intended. His Lordship recommended the greatest economy in our expenditure, and tbe abolition of every sinecure place. Viscount Sidmouth approved of continuing to support Spain so long as any hope remained ; but he was not pre- pared to thank his Majesty for a treaty, ol the conditions and engagements of which he was wholly ignorant. Lord Grenuille complained of Ministers pledging the Country and the House to the extent of calling out. the force of the country, for a war in the interior of Spain. He had no hesitation in declaring that such conduct would be fatal to the country. His Lordship condemned the mode in which the war had been conduced, and wholly disapproved of sending an army into Spain ; the situation of that country had not at any time warranted the hazard* in g a large British force there. He insisted that the British Ministry had driven the Junta of Spain from the wselineof conduct marked out in the " Precautions" is- sued by that body, wherein it wis justly observed that the trobps of Spain could not encounter the veteran legions of France, and therefore it was recommended to avoid all pitched battles, and adopt a system of continually harassing . the enemy, by hanging 011 his out- posts. After some furtner strong observations on the misconduct of the wsr, by sending forces to the South, when we ought to have dislodged the enemy in the North, before he received his supplies, and by sending our troops to a distant and de- serted province, which must of course fall again into the hands of the conqueror ( and it was very, evident that | Bonaparte must conquer, whilst the military power of all Europe, except England and Austria, was at his disposal) his Lordship expressed surprize that America was not noticed in the, Speech, and that Ministers should have pur- sued the crooked policy by which their Conduct to that country had been marked. He knew that many people thought we should destroy all commerce but our own ; and by the conducfr- of Miwiaters, it appeared as if thev had embraced this absurd doctrine. In regard to the notice of the overtures from Erfurth, he admitted those overtures could never have led to peace.— He cordially assented to the proposition for augmenting our military force, which, in our present situation, he thought to be highly necessary. The Earl of Liverpool, in reply, observed, that lie was sensible of the extreme importance of the events to which tbe Noble Lord had alluded : he imagined, however, that the Address was so worded, as not to pledge any Noble Lord to an opinion respecting the measurs which his Ma- jesty's Government had hitherto pursued. With respect to the future, lie presumed every one would concur in the propriety of assisting the Spaniards, so long as they re- mained true to themselves, though a diversity of opinion might arise as to the nature of the assistance to be afforded them. The Address simply called on the House to concur with his Majesty in the assurance that we would remain true to the engagements we had ni » de. Surely we were not to be deterred from this by the temporary disasters of the Spaniards, even though their calamities should be in- creased and aggravated. The history of different nations, circumstanced as Spain now is, and animated by a similar spirit, shewed that it took not merely one campaign, nor the struggle of a year or two, but the unbroken perse- verance of many years, ultimately to defeat the efforts of their invaders, and finally to triumph in the establishment of their national independence. The - Noble Earl then en- tered into a general defence of the conduct of the war, particularly exemplifying the advantage of the expedition to Portugal, by shewing that if it had not been undertaken, Junot might have marthed to the assistance, of Dupolit and have prevented his capture. Alluding , to a censure which Lord Grenville had passed on the- ansiver to the Ad dress of the City of London, he observed, that as far as the City Address called for enquiry only, 110 stricture was made upon it; but when it prejudged the conduct of the Officers engaged in the transaction, and the character of the transaction itself, by branding both with the strongest epithets of disapprobation, before any enquiry could be had upon them, such an attempt to prejudge the matter could not be passed over uncensured. Much stress had been laid by the Noble Baron 011 the conduct of Government towards America : lie stilt imputed the measure of. the embargo to Orders in Council; but a reference to the correspondence between Mr. Madison and Mr. Erskine would convince the Noble Baron that the Embargo was resolved oh before our Orders ill Council could be known, and that on tbe suppo- sition that the French Decrees must produce some such measure of retaliation. Lord Moira decidedly differed both from his Noble Friend and from Ministers, as to the conduct which, should have been' adopted with respect to Spain. There was a period in the war when the force which we now have there would- have been sufficient to have stopped the passes of the Pyrenhces, and have led to the capture of every Frenchman ift that country. The consultation of tlie peopk- of Corunna, in the then state of things, was as ridiculous as if a Commander were to go to consult the inhabitants of Penzance what was to be done if the enemy were to land ill Scotland. His Lordship entered at some length into the question of the Convention of Cintra, and declared that his opinion, as a Member of the Board of Enquiry, was, that no blame attached to the Commanders in a military point of view, the only error of that trans- action being of a political nature, and therefore not within the constitutional scope of the powers vested in the Board. The result of their decision was lo render at\ enquiry into tbe conduct of Ministers indispensably necessary, as they alone were responsible for the political conduct of the expedition. Lord Erskive generally censured the conduct. » f Mi- nister's, and more especially their rejection of the con- ciliating overture from America, the effect of which, he conceived, would have been fo place that country in a state of war with France, if the latter persisted in her decrees of blockade. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Mnlgrave asserted that Ministers had no design to inflame the misunderstanding with America ; but that they would not deprecate her hostility, at the expellee of our own dearest anil most im- portant rights. The question, 011 the Address was then put and carried vem. diss. The Earl of Liverpool save notice, that 011 Monday lie should move a Vote of Thanks to Sir Arthur Welleslev, bljiuie this practice altogether when Parliament could not bej conveniently assembled ; but surely money disposed of In November and December might have had the sanction of Parliament, as they had long been in the habit of assem- i bling in November. He deprecated the suspension of in- 1 tisreourse with America as the destruction of our West In- dia Colonies and trade. . lie. Hose, jun. declared that when he arrived in Ame- rica, he liiuud the Embargo had been laid on ; that at that time the Americans had not heard of the Orders of Council in this country ; nor was it pretended by any one he saw, while he remained there, that the Orders were the causes of the Embargo. Mr. Ashley Cowper, in answer to an observation of Mr. Whitbread, said, that there was no deficiency of ordnance with Sir A. Wellesley's Expedition. Lord Castlercagh made soniu explanations relative to the horses sent from Ireland. General Mathew declared they were wholly unfit for service. Mr. linring; contended, that the Orders in Council were known in America at the time the Embargo took place. Mr. Alderman Combe made some observations on the Address of the City of London, which he contended was not a party question. After some observations from Mr. Herbert ( of Ireland), Lord II. Petty, lie. the Address was agreed to. Lord Henry Petty rose to ask, as there had been allusions in the evening's debate to the proceedings of the Court of Enquiry, whether there was any objection to lay the proceedings before the House to- m irrow. Lord Castlereagh did not see any objection ; and gave notice that he should, on Monday, move that the Thanks of the House be given to our Officers and soldiers engaged in the battle of Vimiera. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice, that, on Tuesday next he should move the re- appointment of the Committee of Finance. At Twelve o'clock the House Adjourned. and the army that had served under his command in Por- tugal. He also gave notice, that en Thursday he should lay before the House various documents relative to the proceedings at F. rlurth, and at the same time submit a proposition on that subject to the Housc.- 7- Adjouraed. HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY, Jan. 19.] The Speaker informed the House, that in pursuance of the 24th of the King, lie had issued his Warrants for new Writs for the County of South- ampton, for a Member to serve in the room of Sir lliNiry Mildmay, Bart, deceased, and for Bossiney, in Cornwall, in the room of Lord llendlesliam, deceased. After the House had gone up to tile House of Lords, and returned, tile Clerk presented a Bill for prevention- Clandestine Outlawries, which was read a first time. The Speaker then read the Speech delivered in the Upper House by the Lords Commissioners ; after which, The Hon. Frederick Robinson rose, and, In his maiden speech, took a view of the circumstances in which this country stood in the present arduous contest with France. He alluded to that part of the Speech where his Majesty calls upon the country for a vigorous prosecution of the war as the best and only means of obtaining a permanent and lasting pcace. In his opinion there could be no doubt but that the people of this empire, who had so Zealously supported the Spanish cause against the tyranny and ra- pacity of Bonaparte, would readily come forward ill sup- port of Ministers in the prosecution of this great cause. He thought a vigorous war preferable to temporizing measures. We were intimately allied to Spain, and we were pledged to her to resist the tyranny'and infamy of the Ruler of France, who had stolen away the King and his son Ferdinand. The Despot of France was forgin"- ehains for Spain, which he trusted would be burst asunder by the energies of the Spaniard/, aided by our Miuistef-, who had distinguished themselves for the promptitude they had evinced since the struggle began.—- The Hon. Gentle- man concluded with moving an Address, which was an echo of the Speech. Mr. S. Jpnkingtmi, in seconding the Address, observed that the ability and eloquence with which his Hon. Friend had illustrated the various topics it alluded to, had left hiur little to perform. He went over all those topics, and en- forced the arguments of the Hon. Mover, with great zeal and effect. The Speaker having put the question, that the Address be agreed to, Mr. Ponsonby observed, that the present Session was opened under circumstances peculiarly awful. His Majesty had stated, that the arduous contest in v* hich we are en- gaged could not be brought to a conclusion without a Con- tinued system of energy and vigour. If this were true, what a woeful disappointment was likely to ensue, when we looked to thofe who have the direction of the arms and councils of the nation'. Their conduct towards Denmark had irritated a brave and generous nation, without adding to our own strength. They had paid a subsidy of li) U, l) tXM. a month to the King of Sweden, without conciliating that Monarch's affections, and without producing any co- opera- tion between us ; in proof of which, he instanced Sir John Moore's being obliged to get away from Stockholm in secret, whilst our troops, so far from being permitted to land there, were sent back iu a way disgraceful to us. The war in Spain had been wholly mismanaged. We had em- ployed a part of our force ill Portugal, when it was all wanted in Spain ; we had landed our forces in the most opposite positions to those where they could act with effect; and we had sent infantry when artillery anil cavalry alone were wanted ; nay, it would uyt be too much to assert, that the expedition l.-. ul failed from the want of artillery and cavalry. He should not however, propose any amendment to the Address ; but lie gave notice that on an early day he should call the attention of the House to the Convention of Cintra; and to the conduct of Minis- ters in regard to the army they hail sent to Spain. Lord Castlereagh vindicated- the plans that had been adopted for assisting the Spaniards, as the only ones that in the least promised success. The idea of our cutting off the march of the French by the Pyrennces would not be supported by any military man. If we hail sent any force to that quarter, it would certainly never have come back. Mr. ffOiitbread expressed a hope that the present Session would be one of retrenchment and economy, and that a correction of all public abuses would take place. He wished to know why 110 mention was made of America the King's Speech. Was America considered of too little consequcnce, or were there persons in tin's country who wished for an American war ? He heard the same rotating language held out ( jow respecting America as there existed previous to the last war, jvhich ended so disastrously. As to the Orders in Council, he wished to ask Ministers hour their mighty predictions respecting the injury which those orders were to inflict 011 the enemy liad been fulfilled ? The enemy were not starved, nor did their soldiers die for want of medicines. Bonaparte had an immense army beyond the Pyrenees, and not one mail the army was hungry. Yet, after all these facts. Ministers would not give up their orders in Council. The Speech was equally silent respecting another country which was in a state'of great commotion. • It li d not say one word as to what our relations were with Turkey., It WHS fit that the H111 e should kn w whether it was likely that that country » : mid fall into the jaws of France, and therefore he regret ti 1 no mention had been made of it in the Speech. Mr. Secretary Cn. mii ~ said, he felt that, a responsibility rested upon him as well a> _> n the other. Ministers of his Majesty,; hut he did not . 1' himself in the situation of a person accused.— His : i . as to shew that if any failure bad occurred, su 1 faf. .'< not to he imputed as a fault to Ministers, who hid 1. • e ir best for the interest of tbe nation at large. The ; .. eiple on which the Go- vernment had acted was i. his : The whole of the Spaniards hail risen with a spontaneous enthsi Sin, to resit an In- vader and a Tyrant. The consequence of this was, the creation of local authorities in the pi ivinees, as it were by mere chance. These authorities had bfeu., jealously watch- ing each other, lest one should gain the ascendancy. The deputations to this country had only come from two or three provinces at first. Lookiug at the state those pro- vinces were in, he asked if it would be wise lor Govern- ment to have given an exclusive confidence to one in pre- ference to another ? it was impossible to have subsidised each province, nor could this country stir iu a military point of view, until a general'Government was established; All, therefore, which the British Government could'do, was to present pecuniary aid to each; but a British army could not be" hazarded, till a Central Government was formed. As to our trpops having arrived at Corunna ten days before the order tur their landing had come from the Central Junta, he asked if it was proper to lose a fair wind when it offered ? Every thing that could be done, was done by Government; and if the cause ultimately failed, it was imputable only to the dispensations of the Great Disposer of Events. It could not, however, be said that the Spanish Government had Shut their eyes against Ideas of improvement: but they must have disliked those laws that should be dictated at the point of the sword. ( Hear! Hear!) As to the proper place of landing trgops, he was convinced that the beSt mode, as a first operation, was by moving the French out. of Portugal, where we were received without jealously, and still lived in harmony. As to America not being mentioned iir tfie- Speech, it was not usual to make mention of any country, unless some individual act was done. But Ministers had no objection to give every information on tbe subject of America that might be required. America was wroflg, in always so far siding with France as to hold out the blockade as the ag- gression of England: whereto it was'the aggression of France, and the retaliation of England. He wromil put it to the House, if this country could,' consistently with its ho- nour, submit to have her ships, of war excluded from iflm- tral ports, into which our enemy's shfps were admitted. With respect to Turkey, be had just to state, that last autumn overtures of a friendly nature were received Ipy our Government from the Ottoman Porte ; that My Adair was sent out to enter into amicable arrangements, and no accounts were yet received front him ; until such were received no mention could be made'of that country He assured thCllonse, that no engagement with the Kin! of Sweden would ever pre- elude the adoption of any mea sure which might tend so the advantage of that Sovereign Mr. Tierziey deprecated the idea of any intention in his friends, to address Ministers as if they were on their trial; if they were so, it must be a jury of their own packing ; for nothing else could lead the lit. Hon. Secretary into the vein of plea antry which ran through his speech. He thought this country had a right 10 expect from the Spani- h Government an account of the application of the aids granted to them. He lamented the cold reception of our troops by the Spaniards, which appealed, lie . thought clearly, in Gen. Baird's not, being- permitted to land at Co- rnnha with his 10,000 men, till. tin order was sent for that purpose from the Sup: erne Junta. He asked how Lisbon was to be consider- d as a cautionary place, when it was. well ascertained, that our army, now on its retreat, could not reach it ? !!- " cotid » uined in severe terms the liberty Ministers had taken, in le. iding so inach. money out of the country, without the consent of Parliament. lie did not BIRTHS.] Oil the Kith of December, the Vice I.

AT the GENERAL QUARTER SESSION 0 the 1 • ace of our Lord the King, held at Blandford Fo- rum, in and tor the said county 1 f Dorset, on Tuesday the loth day of January, in the - 19th year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord- George the Third, by the urace of Cod of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King, Defend! r of the faith, and in the year of our Lord I8O. 0, before Tho-. 1 tckard, Esq. Sir John Wyldbire Smith, hart. William In the absence of direct communication between this country and Spain, we have received French and Dutch papers; the latter to the 7th hist, which afford us several particulars of great importance.— We are there informed that Bonaparte had set off from Madrid on the 22d of De- cember ( his army bad probably marched two days before) and that he had in person come up with the right wing of the British army on the ' 25th ; and it is stated that the battle between the British and French armies would take place on the 27th or 2Blb. But the intelligence we have received from Sir John Moore luttds us to consider these dates as premature. The city of Madrid having, by the Corregidor, one of its Magistrates, made an address to Bonaparte, he returned an answer, in which he has stated, with more boldness than is usual with him, his views and purposes with regard to Spain. The Inquisition is to be abolished ; the Monks reduced to a small number ; the power and privileges of the feudal Lords annulled ; and a Monarch with limited powers ( that is Unlimited) established, provided Bonaparte can depend upon the loyalty and fidelity of the Spaniards. If not, he threatens'to govern it as a conquered country, by establishing Viceroys in the provinces. The Bourbons are not to reign in Europe. T'tie city of Madrid is there- fore directed to manifest its disposition, by taking the oath of allegiance to King Joseph, and by using its influence in reconciling the country. The heads of families of Madrid, the French Jeurnals say, Jlocked to fulfil the wishes of the F'mperur. Napoleon, on leaving Madrid, appointed his brother Joseph his Lieutenant, and gave him the command of the garrison of Madrid. One of the French Journals states that the late tumults at Constantinople were, not so great as the Vienna ac- counts describe them, and that the Foreign Ambassadors had been respected ; that Baraieter fell . by the fire of the ' Seimetis, as he was endeavouring to escape, and was suc- ceeded by Isaac Pacha ; that the Sultan Mustapha was still alive ; and that tranquillity ( was nearly restored in that capital. This account is not credited. The late revolution at Algiers was a measure rashly adopted,' and promptly executed. The Turkish soldiers had conceived an aversion to the l) c\ , from a stfppusition that hp meant to curtail their power, and increase that of the Moon. The Dey was barbarously murdered by a Turkish soldier, on the roof of his palace, as he was en- deavouring to escape ti5 another building. The new Dey has been taken from the lower class of people. His reign is likely to be very short. Tic has alt't ady offended the soldiers aho made him Dey, by not giving the largess they expected, and it was with difficulty the Divan quelled the tumult thus excited.

IAR^ MAJESTY completed the fi lth vear of her age on the 18th of May last; and the Ib'th of January being appointed for the celebration of that/ event, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells ; at one o'clock, a double royal salute was fired at the Tower and St. James's Park ; and- at two o'clock her Majesty and the Princesses went to St. James's Palace, where her Majesty held a Drawing- room. The Princess Charlotte of Wales,-" who had breakfasted with the Oneen, accompanied her to' St. James's, but did not enter the Drawing- room ; h » r Royal Highness went to the apartments of Lady Charlotte Finch; where she remained till four o'clock, and then returned home. As her Majesty passed to tlic Grand Council Chamber, forty boys from Christ's Hospital were prosented to her, as usual. On her entering tho Drawing- room, the Ode for the New Year, written by Mr. Pye, and adapted to Han- del's mi'-? ii by Sir William Parsons, was performed. The Princess of Wales entered the Drawing- room about ten minutes before three o'clock, and was conducted to her Majesty by Mr. St. Leger, her Chamberlain; her Royal Highness, after paying her respects to her Majesty, passed oil and shook hands with the Princesses and the Puke of Cambridge. The Prince of Wales came info the room about five minutes after. Her Majesty wore a scarlet velvet petticoat, ornamented with black lace, in draperies, tied up with diamond bows, with rows of gokl cockleshells^' rich gold cords and chains ; the body and train of scarlet, velvet and gold.—- The Prin- cess of Wales wore a superb gold and white leopard tissue satin train and petticoat, richly embroidered, with a pro fusion of- diamonds ; head- dress of brilliants and ostrich feathers.— The Duchess of V'urk and all the Princesses were also superbly dressed.—- Lady Diana Herbert wore, a lilac satin petticoat, gold border and drapery, fastened with elegant gold ornaments and ;%'- sels ; lilac train, trimmed wjtb gold.— Satin and velvets were generally worn ; pre- vailing colours, scarlet, morine, and Spanish brown; white crape was but little semi.

The subscription houses, Theatres, & c. were illuminated, as usual. A firing 0n French coast was yesterday heard at Dover. It supposed to be in commemoration of some event joyful to the French. It is said Sir John Moore has sent home three Offi- cers, one of high rank, and the other two of very superior rank, on account of their incompetency to till the situ- ations to Which they had been appointed in his army ; and fprtber, that want of courage is not the fault imputed to these Officers. No intelligence having been received ,< vf the Ceylon, homeward- bound East Indiaman, which parted company with the fleet recently arrived, in the bay of lieng. il,• shortly after leaving the. Gauges, it is supposed that ship has either put back in consequence of some accident,. or has been captured by some of the enemy's cruizers in the Indian seas. At a Court of Common Council, held yesterday, a letter was read from Earl Bat burst, President of the Board of Trade, stating the necessity of enlarging Smithfield Market, and enclosing the memorial of several Noblemen and Gen- tlemen oil that subject.

This overture concludes with pro- posing for a basis " the uti possidetis, or any other founded upon the reciprocity and equality that ought to prevail between all great nations," and to this proposition Mr. Canning replies, by refusing to enter - into any ne- goeiation to which S)) aiii is not a party.

FIRE in ST. JAMES'S PALACK.— A most alarming fire br- ke out, about one o'clock this morning, in St. Jam '-' » Palace, which burned with great fury, and was not got quite under till about eight o'clock. No water could be procured for a considerable time, and then only a small supply, all the pipes being stopped up by the frost. The fire being thus unrestrained, and thebutldingcontaining an immensity of old timber, the flame! were not- ubdued un- til one- half of the Palace was consumed, including the left wing, and the apartments of the Duke of Cambridge, who had just returned home when the fire broke out. — The Prince of Wales, and the Dukes of York, Kent, Cambridge, and Sussex, attended, and remained until a late hour, encouraging the firemen and others in their exertions to stop the progress of the tlames. The engines continue playing upon the smoking ruins. The fire broke out in the apartments of Mr-. Riee, in the ensteni wing. Her niece, the only person lost or hurt, was found this morning not burned, but apparently suf- focated, in the apartment.

About MX) horse arc said to have been lost in the rear of the army. The Nonpareil schooner, Lieut. Dickenson, from Cadiz, arrived on Tuesday. It ap[ iears Count Florida Blanca, President of the Supreme Junta, is dead. There is no other news by her. The Duke of Marlborough packet is arrived this evening in eight days from Lisbon. A Spanish Messenger, who left Seville on the 2d inst. with dispatches from the Supreme Junt; i, is ar- rived. The armies under the Duke del Infaiitadn% Cuesta, and Palnfox, were expected to unite in the neighbourhood of Madrid, in the absence of Bona- parte.

General Stewart, and several other Officers of Sir John Moore's army, arrived in town this morning from Corunna, which place they left on the 14th inst. They arrived at Falmouth by. the brig Ann, which has also brought letters and papers to that date. It appears from them, from the report of the Officers, and the dispatches with which they are charged, that the British army effected its retreat to Corunna on the 11 th, and were embarking; but it was feared that there were not transports sufficient there to carry them all off.— The French army was on the 14th within three leagues of Corunna. Sir John Moore, in his retreat, drew up his forces at Lugo, and offered the enemy battle, but they declined it. The British in- fantry had not been engaged, but the cavalry had ' daily skirmishes with that of the enemy, which it uniformly r- pulsed and defeated. Such was the rage of Bona- parte, that he hurned Bencvente, antl threatened Astorga with a like fate. At both places he is said to have .: kretl the British prisoners; but we trust this report is unfounded. Every preparation was made at C .. • ; a •'•> protect and cover the embarkation of the I. ... s'narmy. Generat Beresford, with 5000 men, - it. is said, occupies Burgos. There is probably some mistake in the name, and some place near Corunna is meant.— Globe. The French are marching against Portugal in two columns, one upon Lisbon, and the other upon Oporto. Preparations were making at Lisbon and Oporto for the embarkation of the British there, and of such Portuguese as may chuse to accompanv them. The adviccs received by Government this morning state that Sir John Moore and his armv were at Co- Tunna on the lull, waiting the arrival of transports from Vigo.
