VOL. XGI. EDINBURGH T H E Ko. 47° 4- ' ADVE R T IS E R. FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1809. THURSDATs POST. From the LONDON PAPERS, Jan. 23. LONDON. VERY gallant and severe ac- tion was fought on Friday sc-' ennight, by the Sandwich lugger. She fell in with a large y/. French lugger, soon after 4 o'- n& M. clock in the afternoon, off the ISLE of BAS, which she engaged nearly 2 hours ; and so close was the contest, that the enemy's main- sail caught fire two or three times, from tne fire of the Sandwich ; it was evidently the intention of the enemy to board, being full of men ( it is supposed nearly 100], aad for that purpose she ran her bowsprit between the Sand- tuiei's fore and main- masts ; but the brisk fire • of round & cannister kept up by the brave crew cf the Sandwich, prevented her accomplishing this design. At length she disengaged herself, and . sheered off. The Sand- vjich pursued her, but the weather being dark and heavy, and the wind failing, she out with her sweeps, and made her escape. The long and brisk cannon- ade kept up by the Sandwich must have made great havoc among the enemy's crew, and it is certain she must have been so much shatter- ed as to reach the shore with difficulty. The Sandwich had one man killed and seven wound- ed ; two of them so dangerously, that they are notexpected to live. Lieutenant ATKINS, the brave commander of the Sandwich, received a ball in the upper part of his right arm, near the 6houlder ; the b ill has been since extracted, and it is hoped he will do well. Mr PHILLIPS the master, is dangerously wounded ; a mus- ket- ball entered his right brea3t, and passed out at his back. The first- mate was wounded by a ball passing through his leg. The Sandwich mounts 14 guns, and had So men on board.— She arrived at Guernsey, on Saturday se'ecnight to refit. The Officers in INDIA have established a -.• rry laudable Institution, that in cace an Offi- cer dies married, his widow is intitled to re- ceive an annual 2001. and Sol. per annum to cach of the children, until they are 14 vear « of age, when they have a donation of sool. to fit them out in whatever; situation they may pre- fer. We are happy to understand that this me- ritorious TUnd is very prosperous, lucrative, and flourishing. No intelligence having been received of the Ceylon homeward- bound East. Indiatuan, which parted company with the Fleet recently arrive*), in the Bay of Bengal, shortly after leaving the Ganges ;' it is supposed that Ship has either put back in consequence of some accident, or has been captured by some of the enemies cruisers in the Indian seas. NAVAL ANECDOTE.— Lord COLLING. VOOD lately made Captain PETER PARKER, of the Melpomene, Post, with this observation—• " Your Father made me Post many years since, and now I've done the same by you— I'm quits with ail the world!" SINGULAR FEMALE ROBBERY.— A young gentleman of the name of STEWART, who had lately arrived in town from the Highlands of Scotland, was some evenings ago robbed in the Green Park of his watch and some silver, by a lady ( supposed to be a man in female attire) in the following singular manner.— As he was walking about 9 o'clock in St. James's Park on his way to Prmlico, where he lodges, he was familiarly accosted by a tall lady, elegantly dressed, and prevailed upon to accompany lier through the Green Park, to her residence in llnllmoon- street, Piccadilly, to partake of a comfortable stipptfr; and as soon as they arriv- ed at tbe west end of the Reservoir, she made a sudden hair, and presenting a pistol to the gentleman's breast, she swore that unless he placed his watch and all his money on the seat, lie. was a dead man. With the utmost dread and amazement he complied with her demand ; and alter she laid up. the plunder, she opened the. door leading into Piccadilly, by means of a key, and on shutting the same behind her, warned him in future to beware ef bad com- pany, and . wished him good bye.

"" T^ HE whole of the English Army passed the i. 1) ir. ro} and arrived on the 23d, in pre- sence of the Duke of DALM ATIA at Sahltnha. AS soon as the EMPEROR was apprised at Madrid of this unexpected determination on tiie pa; t of the English, he marched in order to cut oft their retreat, and pursue their rear.— But notwithstanding the diligence exerted by the French troops, the passage of the Monti- - tin of Guadarma, which was covered with now, the incessant rain, and the overflowing " t toe torrents, delayed their march fail two days. In the abbey of Sabagun, which contained KO Monks, and which had all along been re- flected by the French army, the English com- mitted every kind of depredation. Everywhere the Priests and the Monks were seen flying at THE EDINBURGH ADVERTISER for 1809. their approach. This disorderly conduct exas- which your Maje3ty has been pleased to shew perated the country against them, and their dif- ! towards them, and which the City of Madrid Jerence of language, manners, and of religion, considers as a pledge 6f forgiveness fer all that contributed not a little to that disposition of has occurred in the absence of our KING JO- SEPH, your Majesty's brother. " The several Colleges constituting this Assembly, duly deliberating on the subject of men's minds. They reproached the Spaniards - with having no longer an army to unite with theirs, and with having deceived the English .. . _ Government. The Spaniards returned for an-; their meeting, have concluded and resolved to swer, that SPAIN had numerous armies, but entreat your Imperial and Royal Majesty that that England had allowed them to be destroy- ed, without having made any effort to assist Mem. During the fifteen days that have just elapsed, they did not fire a single musket.— The light cavalry only had given some blows with their swords. General DURESNEL, at the head of 400 light horse of the guard, fell in at the close of the evening with a column of it may please you to grant the favour of seeing KING JOSE PH in Madrid, in order, that, under his laws, Madrid, with all the places under its immediate jurisdiction, and the whole of Spain, may at length enjoy that tranquillity and hap- piness which they expect from the benevolence of his Majesty's character.

General LEFEBVRE, DISNONETTES, Colo- nel of the Chasseurs of the Guard, detached two days before, with three squadrons of his regiment, having taken a quantity of baggage, or women, and stragglers, and finding the bridge of Ezela cut down, imagined that the town of Benevente was evacuated. Carried a- way by that impetuosity with which the Efench soldiers have been so often reproached, he swam across the river, in order to make for Bencvente, where he fell in with the whole of the cavalry of the rear guard of the English; a long contest here ensued of 400 men against 2000. There was no resisting numbers. Those brave fellows re- crossed the river. The horse of Genera! LEFEBVRE was killed by a ball.— lit rand hinrJclf received' a woand from a pistol shot, and beinjj dismounted, was made priso- ner. Ten of his chasseurs, who had also been dismounted, were likewise taken, five were drowned, and twenty were wounded. This sharp affair must have convinced the English what they would have to dread from such mep in general action. General LEFEEVRE undoubt- tdly committed a fault, but it was the fault of a Frenchman; he ought to be blamed and re- warded at the sanle time. The number of pri- soners taken from the enemy up to the present moment, and who are chiefly composed of scat- tered individuals & stragglers, amounts to 300. TWENTY- THIRD BULLETIN. BENEVENTE, Jam l. The mind of the people of the kingdom of l. con is much changed. They loudly cry out for Peace and their King ; and curse the Eng- lish and their fallacious insinuations. They re- proach them with being the cause of the shed- ding of Spanish blood, in order to feed the English monopoly and perpetuate the war on the Continent. The perfidy ot England and her motives are now obvious to the meanest & most illiterate Spanish peasant. They know they suffer: and the author of their sufferings are before their eyes. Meanwhile the English retreat with the ut- most haste, pursued by the Duke of ISTRIA, with 9000 cavalry. Among the magazines which they burnt at• Benevente were, indepen- dent of tents, 4000 blankets, and a great quan- tity ot rum. We picked up upwards ot 200 waggons of baggage and ammunition, left on the road from Benevente to Astorga. The shattered remains of ROMANA'S army threw themselves into the latter town, and increased the confusion. The events of the English Expedition to Spain must furnish materials for a tine opening Speech to the English Parliament. The Eng- lish nation must be informed, that her army re- mained three months in a state of inaction, while it was in their power to sssist the SPA- NIARDS— that its leaders, or those whose or- ders they executed, have been guilty of the ex- treme folly of making a movement forward af- ter the Spanish armies fiad been destroyed.— That, in a word, it entered upon the new year by running away, pursued by an enemy, whom that your clemency guarantees her happiness, " MADRID, Dec. 9." ANSWER OF HIS IMPERIAL MA- JESTY. " lam plearea with the sentiments of the City of Madrid. I regret the injuries she has suffered, and am particularly happy that, under existing circumstances, I have been able to ef- fect her deliverance, and to protect her from great calamities. " I have preserved the Spiritual Orders, but with a limitation of the number of Menks.— There is not a single intelligent person who is not of opinion that they were too numerous. Those of them who are influenced by a Divine call, shall remain in their cloisters. With re- fard to those whose Call was doubtful, or in ucncej by temporal considerations, Ihave fix- ed their conditions in the order of secular priest.". Out of the surplus of the monastic property, I have provided for the maintenance of the pastors, that important and useful class of the clergy. I have abolished that Court which was a subject of complaint to Europe and the present age. Priests may guide the minds of men, but, must exercise no temporal or corporeal jurisdiction over the citizens. " I have accomplished what I owed to my- self and my Nation. Vengeance has had its due. It has fallen upon ten of the principal culprits; all the rest have entire and absolute forgiveness. " I have abolished those privileges which the Grandees usurped, during times of rivil war, when Kings but too frequently are neces- sitated to surrender their rights, to purchase their own tranquillity, and that of their people ; and that henceforth every one may set up inns, ovens, mills, employ himself in fishing and rabbit- hunting, and give free scope to his indus- try, provided he respects the laws and regula- tions of the police. The selfishness,' wealth, and prosperity of a small number of individuals were more injurious to your agriculture tli3n, the beat of the dog- days. " As there is but one God, so should there be in a State but one Judicial Power, All pe- culiar jurisdictions were usurpations, and at va- riance- with the rights of the Nation; I have abolished them. " I shall expel the English army from the Peninsula. Saragossa, Valencia, Seville, shall be redused to submission, cither by persuasion or the power of my arms. There is no obsta- cle which can long resist the execution of my resolutions. " But what transcends my power is this— to consolidate the Spaniards as one Nation, iin- j der the sway of the King, should they conti- nue to be infected with these prir. cipTes of a- version and hatred to France, which the parti- zans of the English and ' the enemies of the Continent have infused into the bosom of Spain. I can establish no Nation, no King, no Inde- pendence of the SPANIARDS, if the King be not assured of their attachment and fidelity. " The BOURBONS can no longer reign in Europe. The divisions in the Royal Family LAND can exist on the Continent. If there be any that entertain such a wish, their wish is absurd, and' will sooner or later occasion their fall. " It would be- easy for me, should I be com- part of England, carrying folly to the utmost' blood. No Power under the influence of ENG- extreme j it betrays indeed a greediness for • ->-- *>—<•- - « « -- disgrace; it is, in fine, to administer the af- fairs of England just as the - Cabinet of the Tiiuilleries could wish thorn to be administered . S P A I" N. The following are tire Extraordinary Docu- ment alluded to in last ADVERTISER, page 54 ; PARIS, Dec. 10.—" Copy of the Address • presented to his MAJESTY the EMPEROR, by the CORREGIDOR of MADRID, in name of the Magistracy and Citizens of that Capital:— " Sire, the City of Madrid, represented by its Magistrates, secular and regular Clergy, No- bility and Deputies of the Wards, presents it- self at the feet of your Imperial Majesty, to of- fer you its most respectful thank- s for the gra cious cieme'ncy with which ybur Majesty, in the conquest which your, victorious troops have piade of this city, has been pleased to think of the safety and welfare of its inhabitants, and the praise- worthy and beneficent treatment JAN. 27. on the war so long as the Court of London shall not recar to just and equitable dispositions; and they are resolved to do so. " How is it possible for the French Government to entertain the proposal which has been made to it, of admitting to the negotiation the S/ anish In- surgents ? What would the English Government have said, had it been proposed to them to admit pelled to adopt that measure, to govern Spain, j hav « - - . •„,. p- nhliihinT o, mariv VirrrniTm it as there 1 the Cat1iohc insurgents of Ireland?

Nevertheless, I do not refuse i munication with them, has made them promises, to abdicate my Rights bf Conquest in favour j? ni has frequently sent them succours.' Could su- h a proposal havs found place in a note, the object of which ought to have been not to irritate, but to endeavour to effect a mutualconciliation and good understanding ? " ENGLAND will find herselfunder a strange mis- take, if, contrary to the experience of the past, she still entertains the idea of contending successfully upon the Continent, against the armies of France. What hope can she now have, especially as Franoe is irrevocably united with Russia? ( Signed) " CHAMPAGNY." Mr SECRETARY CANNING Replies in a Note, dated Dec. 9. " The King learns with astonishment and regret the expectation which appears to have been enter- tained that his Majesty should consent to com- mence a negociatiou for genefal peace, by the pre- sent abandonment of the cause of the SPANISH nation, and ofthe legitimate Monarchy of SPAIN, 1 in deference to an usurpation which has no paralltl in the history of the world. " His Majesty was desirous to have treated for a Peace which might have arranged the respective interests of all the Powers engaged in the war on principles of equal justice; and his Majesty sincere- ly regrets that this desire of his Majesty is disap- pointed. " But his Majesty is determined not to abandon the cause of the SPANISH Nation, and of the Le- gitimate Monarchy of SPAIN. ( Signed) « GEORGE CANNING." Mr. SECRETARY CANNING, in^ another Note to COUNT ROMANZOFF, says, " However desirous his MAJESTY might be to reply directly to his MAJESTY the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, yo( i cannot but feel, Sir, that from the unusual manner in which the letters signed by his Imperial Majesty were drawn up, and which has entirely deprived them of the ^ character of a pri- vate and personal communication, his Majesty has found it impossible to adopt that mark of respect towards the Emperor of RUSSIA, without at the same time acknowledging titles which his Majesty never has acknowledged. " His MAJESTY had hoped that the participa- tion of the Emperor of RUSSIA in the overtures made to his Majesty would have afforded a secu- rity to his Majesty against the proposal of a condi- tion so unjust in its effect, and so fatal in its ex- ample. " Nor can his MAJESTY conceive by what obli- gation of duty or of interest, or by what principle of Russian policy, his Imperial Majesty can have found liiraself compelled to acknowledge the right, assumed by France, to depose and imprison friend- ly Sovereigns, and forcibly to transfer to herself the allegiance of Loyal and. Independent Nation*." " it the caua- e of so much misery is to be found in the stagnation of commercial intercourse? at- though hij Majesty cannot be expected to- hear, with unqualified regret, that the system devised for the destruction of the commerce of his sub- jects has r:.-. oiled upon its authors, or its instru- ments— yet is it neither in the disposition of hi « Majesty, nor in the Character of the people over whom he reigns, to rejoice in the privatians and unhappiness even of the nations which are com- bined against him. His Majesty anxiously desires the termination of the sufferings of the Continent, " GEORGE CANNING. " of the King, and to establish him in MADRID, as soon as the 30,000 citizens which this capi- tal contains, the Clergy, Nobility, Merchants, and Lawyers shall have declared their senti- ments ami their fidelity, set an example tothe Provinces, enlightened the people, and nude the nation sensible that their existence and prosperity essentially depend upon a King and a free Constitution, favourable to the people, and hostile only to the egotism and haughty passions of the Grandees. " If such be the sentiments of the inhabi- tants of the city of MADRID, let the 30,000 people assemble in the churches ; let them, in the presence of the Holy Sacrament, take an oath, not only with their mouths, but also with their hearts, and without any jesuitical e- quivocation, that they promise support, at- tachment, and fidelity to their King; let the priests in the confessional and the pulpit, the mercantile class in their correspondence, the men of the Jaw in their writings and speeches, infuse the* ® sentiments into the people— then shall I surrender my Right of Conquest, place the King upon the throne, and make it my pleasing task to conduct myself as a true friend of the SPANIARDS. The present generation may differ in their opinions— the passions have been too much brought into action— but your Grand- children will bless me as your Regenera- tor— they will reckon the day when I appear- ed among you among their memorable festi- vals— and from that day will the happiness of Spain date its commencement. " You are thus, Monsieur le CORREGIDOR, ( added the EMPEROR) informed of the whole of my determination. Consult w ith your fel- low- citizens, ar. d consider what part you will chuse. But whatever it be, make your choice with sincerity, and tell me only your genuine sentiments." STATE PAPERS. CORRESL- ONDENCE 1vith the RUSSIAN and 11; F 1CM Gov:, F.

ALEXANDER— Nx\ POLEON. A variety of Correspondence then took place betwixt Count ROMANZOFF and M. DE CHAM- PAGNY, containing offers on the part of RUSSIA and FRANCE, to appoint Negociators along with GREAT BRITAIN, on the basis of the Vti Possi- detis, or 3ny other basis compatible with justice.— To these proposals, Mr. CANNING replied in a note, which states, " The interests, of the Crown ol PORTUGAL and his SICILIAN MAJESTY are confided to his Majes- ty's friendship and protection. " With the KING of SWEDEN his Majesty is con- nected by ties of the closest alliance, and by sti- pulations which unite their counsels for peace as wed as for war. " T o SPAIN his Majesty is not yet bound by any formal i srru- ment; but his Majesty has, in the face of the world, contracted with that nation en- gagements not less sacred and not less binding on his iMajesty's mind, than the most solemn treaties. " His Majesty therefore assumes, that in an o- verture made to his Majesty for entering into ne- gotiations for a general peace, the relations sub- sisting between his Majesty and tin? SPANISH Monarchy have been distinctly taken into conside- ration; and that the Government acting in the I CONVENTION OF CINTRA. HIS MAJESTY'S DISAPPROBATION. Tl> e following are said to be the terms ia which his MAJESTY has expressed his disap- probation to Sir H. DALRYMPLE, of certain parts of the Convention of Cintra .— " The KING has taken into his considera- tion the lleport of the Board of Inquiry, to- gether with the documents and opinions there- unto annexed. " While his Majesty adopts the UNANIMOUS opinion of the Board, that no fartfier Military pryceeding is necessary to be had upon the transaction referred to their investigation, his Majesty does not intend thereby to convey any expression of his Majesty's satisfaction at the Terms and Conditions ot the Armistice and- Convention. " When these instruments were first laid be- fore his Majesty, the King, reserving foL "/ ives- tigation those parts of the Definitive Convention in which his Majesty's immediate interests were concerned, caused it to be signified to Sir HEW DALRYMPLE, by his Majesty's Secretary of State, that his MAJESTY nevertheless, felt himself compelled at once to express his dis approbation of those articles, in which stipula- tions were made, directly affecting the interests and feelings of the Spanish and Portuguese Nations. " At the close of the Inquiry, the King, ab- staining from any observations upon other parts of the Convention, repeats his disapprobation of those articles ; his Majesty deeming it ne- cessary that his sentiments should be clearly un- 11 derstood, as to the impropriety and danger of the unauthorized admission, into Mifitai y I ML into name of his Catholic Majesty FERDINAND Vllth, Conventions, of articles of such a description, is understood to be a party to any negociation which his Majesty is invited to engage.

A severe wound, which compelled me to quit the field a short time previous to the fall ot Sir JOHN MOORE, ebliges me to refer your Lordship for the particulars of the action, which was long and obstinately contested, to the in- closed report of Lieutenant- General HOPE, who succeeded to the command of the Army, and to whose ability and exertions in direction of the ardent zeal and unconquerable valour of his Majesty's troops, is to be attributed, under Providence, the success of the day, which ter- minated in the complete and entire repulse and defeat of the Enemy at every point of at- tack. The Hon. Captain GORDON, my Asd- de- Camp, will have the honour of delivering this Dispatch, and will be able to give your Lord- ship any further information which may be re- quired. I am, See. D. BAIRD, Lieut.- Gen. His Majesty's ship AUDACIOUS, off Corunna, Jan. 18, 1809. S I R— In compliance with the desire con tained in your communication of yesterday, I avail myself of the first moment I have been able to command, to detail to you the occur- rences of the action which took place in front of Corunna on the 16th instant. It will be in your recollection, that about one in the afternoon of that day the enemy, who had in the morning received reinforcements, and who had plaeed some guns in front of the right arid left of his line, was observed to be moving troops towards his left ilank, & form- ing various columns of atta k at that extremity of the strong and commanding position which on the morning of the 15th he had taken in our immediate front. This indication of his intention was imme- diately succeeded by the rapid and determined attack which he made upon your Division which occupied t. he right of our position. The events which occurred during that period of the ac- tion you are fully acquainted with. The first effort of the enemy was met by the Commander Of the Forces, and by yourself, at the head of the 42d Regiment, and the Brigade uDder Ma- jor- General Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK. The village on your right became an object of obstinate contest. I lament to say, that soon after the severe wound which deprived the 3rmy of your ser- vices, Lieut.- General Sir JOHN MOORE, who had just directed the most able disposition, fell bv a cannon- shot. The troops, though not unacquainted with the irreparable loss they had sustained, were not dismayed, but by the most determined bravery not only repelled e- very attempt of the enemy to gain ground, but actually forced him to retire, although he had brought up fresh- troops in support of those o- j riginally engaged. The enemy finding himself foiled in every attempt to force the right of the position, en- deavoured by numbers to turn it. A judicious and well- timed movement which was made by M.' jor- Gen. PAGET, with the Reserve, which corps had moved out of its cantonments to sup- port the right of the army, by a vigorous at- tack, defeated this intention. The Major- Ge- neral having pushed forward the 95th ( Rifle Corps) and 1st battalion 52d regiment,, drove upon our piquets, which however m genera) maintained their ground, Finding, however, his efforts unavailing on the right and centre, he seemed determined to render the attack u- pon the left more serious, and had succeeded in obtaining possession of the village through which the great road to Madrid passes, and which was situated in front of that part of the line. From this post however he was soon expell- ed, with considerable loss, by a gallant attack of some companies of the 2d Battalion 14th Regiment, under Lieutenant- Colonel NICHOLS ; before five in the evening, we had not only re- pelled everv attack made upon the position, : but had gained ground in almost all points, and occupied a more forward line, than at the com- mencement of the action, whilst the enemy confined his operations to a cannonade, and the ( ire of his light troops, with a view to draw off his other Corps. At six the firing entirely ceased. The different Brigades Were re- assem- bled on the ground they occupied in the morn ing, and the piquets and advanced posts resum- ed their original stalions. Notwithstanding the decided and marked superiority which at this moment the gallantry of the troops had given them over an enemy, who, from his numbers and the commanding advantages of his position no doubt expected an easy Victory, I did not, on reviewing all cir- cumstances, conceive that I should be warrant- ed in departing from what I knew was the fix- ed and previous determination of the late Com- mander of the Forces to withdraw the > army on the evening of the 16th, for the purpose of embarkation, the previous arrangements for which had already been made by his order, and were, in fact, far advanced at the commence- ment of the action. The troops quitted their position about ten at night, with a degree of order that did them credit. The whole of the artillery that remained unembarked, having been withdrawn, the troops followed in the order prescribed, and marched to their respective points of embarkation in the town and neigh- bourhood of Corunna. The piquets remained at their posts until live on the morning ef the 17th, when they were also withdrawn with si- milar orders, and without the enemy having discovered the movement. By the unremitted exertion of Captains the Hon. H. CURZON, GOSSELIN, BOYS, RAIN IER, SERRETT, HAWKINS, DIGBY, CARDEN, and MACKENZIE, of the Royal Navy, who in pursuance of the orders of RearrAdrniral DE COURCY, were entrusted with the service of embarking the army; and in consequence of the arrangements made by Commissioner BOWEN, Captains BOWEN and SHEPHERD, and the other Agents for Transports, the whole of the army was embarked with an expedition which has seldom been equalled. With the exception of the brigades under Major- Generals HILL and BERESFORD, which were distined to remain on shore, until the movements of the enemy should become manifest, the whole was afloat before day- light. The brigade of Major- General BERESFORD, which Was alternately to form our rear- guard, occupied the land front of the town of Corun- na ; that under Major- General HILL was sta- tioned in reserve on the promontory in rear of | the town. The enemy pushed his light trooTSlowards the town soon after eight o'clock in the morn- ing of the 17th, and shortly after occupied the heights of St. Lucia, which command ths har- bour, But notwithstaandi, ng this circumstance, and the manifold defects of the place ; there being no apprehension that the rear- guard could be forced, and the disposition of the Spaniards appearing to be good, the embarkation oi Ma- jor- General HILL'S brigade was commenced and completed by three in the afternoon; Ma- jor- General BKRESFORD, with that zeal and ability which is so well known to yourself and the whole army, having fully explained, to the satisfaction of the Spanish Governor, the na- ture of our movement,, and having made- every previous arrangement, withdrew his corps from the Jand front of the town soon after dark, and was,. wiih nil the w- owxled that had not been previously" moved', embarked before one ( his morning. ... Circumstances forbid us to indulge the hope, that the victory With [ which it has pleased Pro- vidence to crown the efforts of the army can be attended with any very brilliant consequences to Great Britain. 1 It is clouded by the loss of one of her best soldiers. It has been achieved at the termination of a long and harassing ser- vice. • The superior numbers, and advanta- geous positions of the enemy, not less than the the enemv before him, and in his rapid andju- actual situation of this armv, did not admit of d. cious advance, threatened the left of the ene- any advantage being reaped from success. It my P „, „ position. .... , • o'sition of Lieut.- General FRASER'S division,| our country, the sweetest rejection," that the ( calculated to give trill further security to the i lustre of the B. itish arm: ha This circumstance, with thej must be, however, to you, to the army, and to " ection, that the bsen maintained J enemy the opportunity of directing every effort of his numerous troops, and con- centrating all his principal resources for the destruction of the only regular force in the North of Spain. You are well aware with what diligence this system has been pursued. These circumstances produced tiie necessity! of rapid and harassing marches, which had dn=| minished the numbers, exhausted the strength, and impaired the equipment of the army.— Notwithstanding all these disadvantages, and those more immediately attached to a defensive position, which the imperious necessity of co- vering the harbour of Corunna for a time had rendered indispensable to assume, the native and undaunted valour of British Troops was never more conspicuous, and must have ex- ceeded what even your own experience of that invaluable quality, so inherent in them, may have taught you to expect. When everyone ihathad an opportunity se- med to vie in im- proving it, it is difficult for me, in making this report, to select particular instances for your approbation. The corps chiefly engaged were the Brigades under Major- Generals Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, and MANNINGHAM, and LEITH ; and the Brigade of Guards under Major- General WARDE. To these Officers, and the Troops under their immediate orders, the greatest praise is due. Major- General HILL, and Colonel CAT- LIN CRAUFORD, with their Brigades on the left of the position, ably supported. their ad- vanced Posts. The brant of the action fed upon the 4th, 42d, 50th, and 81 if regiments, with parts of the brigade of Guards, and the 26th regiment. From Lieutenant - Colonel MURRAY, Quarter- Master- General, and tlie Officers of the General Staff, I received the most marked, assistance. I had reason to regret that the illness of Brigadier- General CLINTON, AdjutantsGene- al, deprived me of his aid. I was indebted to Brigadier- Genei'al SLADE dur- ing the action, fer a zealous offer of his per- sonal services, although the Cavalry were em- barked. The greater part of the fleet having gone to Sea yesterday evening, the whole being under weigh, and the corps in the embarkation ne- cessarily much mixed on board, it is impossible at present to lay before you a return of our ca- sualties. I hope the loss in numbeis is not so considerable as might have been expected— If I was obliged to form an estimate, I should say, that I believe it did not exceed in killed and wounded from seven to eight hundied; that of the enemy must remain unknown, but many circumstances induce me to rate it at nearly double the above number. We have some prisoners, but I have not been able to ob- tain an account of the number; it is not, how- ever, considerable. Several Officers of rank have fallen or been wounded, among whom I am only at present enabled to state the names of Lieut.- Colonel NAPIER, 92d Regiment, Majors NAPIER and STANHOPE, 50th Regiment, killed t Lieut.- Colonel WINCH, 4th Regiment, Lieut.- Colonel MAXWILL, 26th Regiment, Lieut.- Col. FANE, 59th Regiment, Lieui.- Colonel GRIFFITH, Guards, Majors MILLER and WILLIAMS, 81st Regiment, wounded. To you, who are well acquainted with the excellent qualities of Lieut.- General Sir JOHN MOORE, I need not expatiate on the loss the army and his country have sustained by his death. His fall has . deprived me of a valuable friend, to whom long experience of his worth had sincerely attached me. But it is chiefly on public grounds that I must lament the blow,— It will be the conversation of every one who loved or respected his manly character, that, after conducting the army through an arduous retreat, with consummate firmness, he has ter- minated a career of distinguished honour, by a death that has given the " enemy additional reason to respect the name of a British Sol- dier. Like the immortal WOLFE he is snatch- j ed from his coixitry at an early period of a life spent in her service; like WOLFE, his last mo- ments were gilded by the prospect of" success, and cheered by the acclamation ot Victory ; like WOLFE also, his memory will for ever re- main sacred in that gountry which he sincerely loved, and which he had so faithfully served. It remains for me only to express my hope, I that you will speedily be restored to the service of your counti y, and to lament the unfortunate circumstance that removed you from yourjsta- tion in the field, and threw the momentary command into far less able hands. I have the honour to be, See.

Our PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT states, that a letter received from an Officer of the Guards, of the first authority, says, " The French would not stand the Bayonet, and fled the mo- ment they saw the GUARDS and the FORTY- SECOND Regiment. The 42d drove them back with very great loss, only two Officers of the Guards were wounded,' Captain- GRIFFITHS and another,'' During almost the whole of Sunday the I3tli our troops were almost constantly engaged in skirmishes with the enemy, but they did not appear to be in Sufficient force to make a seri- ous attack upon our position ; their object seemed rather to be to engage the attention of our troops, and to prevent their embarkation till the remainder of the French Army, which wSs advancing by forced marches, had arrived. On Monday the 16th, the expected rein- forcements had joined the French troops in the neighbourhood of Corunna, and between ten and eleven o'clock On the morning of that day, they began to appear in considerable force, and as the BRITISH Generals expected an immedi- ate attack, our Army was formed to receive the Enemy. It is necessary to state, that before this time a considerable part of the Army, par- • ticularly of the Cavalry, had embarked. Marshal SOULT, who commanded the French, spent some time in reconnoitering op- position before he gave orders to commerce the attack. At length, a little after two o'clock! they advanced* and Commenced the attack with their usual impetuosity. The attacks of the enemy, though violent and repeated, were repulsed with great slaugh- ter, and our troops in their turn became the as- sailants. The French having been thrown into some confusion by the failure of ai! their at- tacks. the Guards were ordered to advance and charge them with the Bayonet; the enenty could not st^ nd the charge, but rett eated, or rather fled, with the greatest precipitation; and so complete was their defeat, that for fourteen hours after the action ceased, not one French- man appeared in sight. The action lasted a- bout three hours, and concluded about dusk. The Gallant General ANSTRUTHER is said to have died of fatigue. We understand, by a private letter from London, written late on Monday afternoon, that Sir JOHN MOORE'S Regiment, the 52d, was not engaged at Corunna, but had marched to Vigo, where they embarked without moles- tation. A heavy cannonading was kept up upon the French, from the fleet under the command of Sir SAMUEL HOOD, consisting of ten sail of the line, which was covering the retreat cf the transports from the hatbour, and assisting the embarkation of the troops wi'. h theirheats. Had the transports from Vigo arrived but one day earlier, which they were prevented from doing by the strong winds, the whole- of the army would have been got oif without toss. The covering regiments were commanded by that excellent Officer, General HOPE, and performed prodigies of valour. The French committed every excess in theif march, even to the burning of Villa- Franca, and every place they passed through. JUNOT, on his joining the /* rench army. oa the 15th, sent in a flag of truce to Sir JOHN MOORS, to sty he had resumed the command of the French army. It is understood the Frcnch have got. possession of I'errol, and the two " men of war there. [ EKD OF THE C- S2ETTESJ Notwithstanding the intelligence from Spain, the Stocks rose a little on Tuesday.

We cannot close this account without men- tioning a circumstance which, though not im- mediately connected with it, is of a most inte- resting nature, and which has been communis cated to us from the most unquestionable autho- rity. At the time that GenerakLEFEBVRE was taken prisoner, JJONAPARTE was himself on a ieight on the other side of the river, about two miles from the scene of action. General STE- WART was apprized of- the'circumstance, ami had, he not been restrained by the positive Dr- iers which he. had previously received, he ' would have endeavoured to have got to the rear of BONAPARTE, and have made a dash at him, . His, orders, however, being positive, and the risk considerable, he did not make the at- tempt. We cannot omit this opportunity of stating, that the greatest praise is due to the Admiralty, for. the exertions they made to facilitate the - embarkation. Independent of. the transports, no less than 12 sail. of the line were at Corunna, ar. d. cf course contributed most essentially to the. embarkation of the troops. Two of the transports arrived at Plvviouth on Saturday. On Monday, Mr. WELSH received from lady one cart of coals ; on Tuesday he receiv- ed from a Lady one pound, and frofii a Gen- tlemsrv one guinea for the prisoners confined in , tf) e- jaii of this city. On Wednesday one gui- nea was received from a Lady, and live tonn^ f coals from a Gentleman, for the same benevo- lent- purppse. Mr; CuNNiMGHAME- or Enterkine's annual • eionation of one hundred creels of coals to the poor of the parish of Tarbolton, has lately been d. stributed by the Kirk %' ssion of that parish, and has produced a very seasonable *' ief.

Jons BIRD, convicted of abstracting a va- luable Indian shawl from a box sent by the mail coach ( of which he was the guard to Ber- wick, See Friday's ADVERTISER, page 46), in pur- suance of his sentence was sent from Berwick gaol, last Saturday afternoon, in irons, aboard one of tbe smacks, to be put into a Convict ship, and transported to Botany Hay for seven years. Before the prisoner left the gaol, seve- ral thousands of spectators waited his appear- ance. Several constables attended to prevent the popular indignation from becoming out- rageous, and on being put into a chaise that waited for hirh," he was driven off, amidst the groans, hisses, and shouts of the populace, to the river side, and ordered into a boat, from whence he was put into a smack, which imme- diately set sail for London'. In bringing this of- fender to justice, much praise is due to the pro- prietors of the mail coach; their liability to j-' the owners of the shawl amounted only to Si. buf in justice to the public and to themselves they undertook the prosecution at their sole risk and expence, which fvi'il - cost nearly 200I.

ES.— We mentioned in last ADVERTISER, page .55, the particulars of Earth- quakes, at Dunning, in Perthshire, and at the Bridge of Allan, we have now to add, that a severe shock of an earthquake was felt on Monday the 16th curt, about'half- past 5 ib tbe morning, at Comrie, near Crieff. It was more violent than any they had since Sep- tember 7, 1801. The noise attending it was loud and greatly prolonged. During the time of the shock, the air was calm and serene.— The rrioon, in her last quarter, shone bright, and the sky was afterwards covered with whi- tish clouds, roving rapidly from N. W. to S. E. The scene was rmignificenti calcoUttii alike to awaken tbe feelings of the Man, and the devo- ion ot the Christian. - CRIF. FF, Jar.. 20, 1809.—" The singular occurrence, that for twenty years has been fre- quent in this part of Scotland, of repeated shocks of earthquakes, affected us with very great a- larm, on the morning of the 18th, at half- past one o'cltick. The shock was loud and long, with a more violent tremor of the earth, than had ever before been felt. The panic was very ' great; but we have much reason to be thank- ful, that this awful proof of Divine Power, h hitherto been perfectly harmless." Another letter, dated Stc- elend, near Dun- ning, 23d January, says, " We had two great shocks of an Earthquake here, on Wed- nesday morning last— the first, about one o'clock, which lasted, I thought, about a minute, with a great noise like that of thun- der— running along the ground, which made our very beds to shake, till I thought I was thrown a little off my bed— the second, was about half an hour after, much more tremen- dous, which made all the windows to rattle ; it was felt about Dunning and its vicinity, and much friore about Blackford and all west." GRERSOCK, Jan. 25.—" The Fame, M'- TAGGART, arrived here yesterday from Trini- dad, after a passage pf 51 days. On the 9th instant, iri lat. 54. 18. long. 20. fell in with a. strange vessel, which from her nianoeuvetuig most of the afternoon, arid attempting to bear down upon him at night, the Captain supposes to have - been an enemy's privateer.

These papers also contain accounts of horses, cattle, and corn burnt, and of farmers murdered, who have taken land possessed by former tenants. On the 17th inst. the Special Commission for trying such of the delinquents as have been apprehended, was opened at Limerick, by tbe LORD CHIEF BARON, and BARON GEORGE. — The Court proceeded on the trials of Mor- gan hnwrigkt, and William Smith, concerned with others in attacking the house of Mr THO- MAS MURRAY, of Dunnioyian, with fire- arms, in which he was so desperately wounded in the left arm, as to cause amputation. Mr. Solici- tor General BUSHF opened the proceedings, with a speech,, pointing out the dangerous ten- dency of such unlawful associations as haye displaced tho county of Limerick. The evi- i ence of the Messrs. MURRAY ( Father St Son), as modest, clear, and cortclusive; ail alibi as attempted^ but i-. was miserably - siipporttrd ano inconsistent.

This donation proves very acceptable to the afflicted mother and her fami- ly, and reflects much credit on the Committee at IJoyd's, for their attention to the relations of those who - distinguish themselves in their Counti yis cause. Lieut, H. was a native of Ir- vine, impressed there when a boy, and by his merit alone, raised himsalf to the rank he held when his Country was deprived of his merito rious services. Now is the time to procure favourable numbers-, in the ensuing Lottery from the Bank of England, as the Tickets have just commenced delivery by the cashiers. By application at a Licensed Office, any number, may now be obtained, except tliose among the fifteen Hundred Tickets given by the Contractors; • They were executed accordingly. TRA. LEE, Jan. 14.—" To the number of wanton and unprovoked murders which have for some months disgraced this count; y, we an- concerned to add that of a poor man named IVm. Dunn, residing at Kilfeighny, about nine miles from this town. On Saturday night last,, two men,- called at the1 house of this inno- cent victim, and desired he should instantly come out, at tbe same time ordering him to have his face covered, no doubt to preclude the possibility of his identifying them ; but the pre- caution was unnecessary, as on the moment of his appearance, he received the contents of a musket in his side, and shortly after died. " On Tuesday nightl.-. st, a number of White Riyt collected about the house of James Cos- tello, of Killsharane, to which they set file without informing the family of their intention, who, howeVer, providentially escaped. The house, with every article in it, was consumed, & the poor man Sc his wife and children left nearly naked during the greater pai t of the cold night," i frog. 6 j SALE OF LANDS IN FIFE.

Since the interruption of our commerce with the ports of the Baltic, Bristles, which were principally supplied from Russia, have become so scarce and dear, that invention has been on the rack to find a substitute, and a plan has at length been discovered, of splitting whale- bone into very line divisions, from which brushes can be made, and at a lower rate than from Bristles. There is no doubt that substitutes may be'found for many articles we were wont to import from foreign countries. STATE of tbe T HER M OMF. TER since our last. Tuesday, Jan. 24, 8 o'clock Even. £ 7.
