PRICE SIXPENCE. / ?, LAMP L Paper and Print, 2la. Monday's and Tuesday's Posts. FOREIGN NEWS. ERFURTH, Sept. 28. ' YESTERDAY at nine o'clock in the morning arrived here his Majesty the Emperor of the French. The Commandant of the town, the Magistrates, and Deputies of the Livery, the University, and the Clergy, met him without the gates; the President of the Senate tendered him the keys of the gates of the city, and pre- sented an Address expressing the fidelity and attachment of the inhabitants to his person and government.— The Emperor having perused the Address, and testified his satisfaction, entered the town on horseback amidst the firing of guns, ringing of bells, and joyful acclamations of the inhabitants, and alighted at the hotel prepared for his reception. Soon after the Emperor mounted his horse again to pay a visit to his Majesty the King of Saxony, who ' arrived ou the preceding day. He afterwards in- pected the troops quartered in this town, and then proceeded on horseback ou the road to Weimar, to meet his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia. About three o'clock in the afternoon the two great Monarclis entered the town on horseback, attended by a great number of persons of the first distinction, and escorted by two regiments of foot and two regiments of horse. At night the whole town was illuminated. His Majesty the King of Westphalia, his Imperial High- ness the Grand Duke Constantine, and the Duke and Hereditary Prince of Weimar, have arrived in this place. LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 17. Dutch paperS to the t) th inst. have reached town. They contain news from Paris to the 4th.' The long ex- pected meeting between the Emperor of Russia and Bona- parte, at Erfurth, took place on the 27th ult. Bonaparte rode out of the town, attended by a number of his vassal l'rinees, to meet the Emperor. Nothing has occurred which ican afford the slighestelue to the projects which Bonaparte has firmed, the execution of which he undoubtedly expects to facilitate by means of this interview with Alexander. The following plan for the dismemberment of European Turkey, projected by General Lauriston, is supposed to h.' ve been adopted by Bonaparte : France to have Albania, Greece, the Morea, and the Islands,— Russia to retain its conquests in Moldavia and Bessarabia.— Austria fif she will accede to the confederacy) to have Bosnia, Servia, anil Macedonia, but to cede the Lithorage to France.— The provinces of Wallachia, Bulgaria, and Ro- mania, to be erected into a separate kingdom for the Grand Duke Constantine, with the title of King of Thrace; Constantinople to be his capital.— The Asiatic provinces Reserved for future arrangement, with an understanding that the new King ol Thrace will have a considerable share. This morning Government received dispatches from Spain, brought by the Peacock sloop of war, arrived at Ply- hiouth from Corunna. Letter and papers from St. Andero and Corunna, to the date of the 7 th inst. were received by the same conveyance. The French troops in Spain are now under the command of Marshal Ney, esteemed one of Bonaparte's best Generals, and who appears to be preparing to justify the opinion en- tertained of his talents. After having made a tour of the French positions, he has marched a body of 12,000 men Against Bilboa, and compelled the Spaniards to abandon that place, which they had so recently taken. The retreat Of tiie Spaniards was however made in good order, and without any disaster. The Marquis de Portazzo, the Spanish Commander, having but 7000 men, prudently declined « contest to which his force was unequal, and re- tired to a strong position near the city, where he could Wait for reinforcements. He carried with him all his baggage, guns, and ammunition.— Such conduct makes him a formidable enemy, especially when it is recollected that the Spaniards from the Baltic may soon join him. Part of the Spanish troops from the Baltic landed at RiVadec, a port in Galicia. As soon af they reached the shore, they kissed the earth, and on rising exclaimed, " Long live Ferdinand the VIIth !" Letters and papers from Lisbon, to the 1st inst. have also been received. Freed from the troubles and ap- prehensions of war, the Portuguese, with the assistance of the British Commanders, are engaged ill re- establishing their Government, with all its faults, and reinstating the Regency, Magistrates, and other public officers left by the Prince Regent, when he embarked for the Brazils. The third division of the French army, which left Lis- bon on the 26' th ult. met with a dreadful tempest soon after it sailed. One of the transports, with part of the 86th French regiment, foundered. The colonel, five pri- vates, and eight British seamen were saved— 287 of the soldiers were lost—- Other transports, it is feared, have had tie same fate. The Africaine frigate, with General Kel- lermann and his Etat Major, put back to Lisbon, much damaged. The whole fleet was dispersed. Mails from Sicily, Malta, and Gibraltar, arrived this morning. The army and garrisons were all well and in high spirits at the etui of last month. At Sicily Sir John Stewart was ready to embark at an hour's notice 10,000 troops, in high discipline, and eager for combat. The kingdom of Naples was believed to be the destined scene of action. The. people are represented to be anxious for the arrival of the moment in which they may fly to arms, in imitation of the Spaniards, to eman- cipate themselves from the fetters in which they are now bound. The late dispatches from India intimate that Scin- deah and Holkar appear to have laid aside their late ani- mosity, and are supposed to have entered into a league, at tiie instigation of French emissaries, hostile to the in- terests of the British Government. It is farther believed that they have induced several of tire native Princes, par- ticularly the Rajahs of Judpore and Jypore, to join in this conspiracy, the immediate object of which has not tran- spired ; but the Company's Residents at the several Courts have been strictly enjoined to watch the movements of the suspected conspirators, and send immediate notice to the Presidency of any hostile act. Doondea Khan's territories have been taken possession of by the Company's Officers: that refractory Chief has taken refuge iu the Seick country; hut his brother, Rum- nust Ling, has been apprehended, in consequence of the reward offered for that service. ROMAN CATHOLICS.— At a late meeting of the Roman Catholic Bishops, in Dublin, the following resolution was agreed to :—" That it is the decided opinion of the Roman Catholic Prelates of Ireland, here assembled, that it is inexpedient to introduce any alteration in the canonical mode hitherto observed in the nomination of lri- li Roman Catholic Bishops ; which mode long experience has proved to be unexceptionable, wise, and salutary."—- The Roman t atholic Prelates have thus disavowed the proposition made in their name, in the last session of Parliament, to adopt the following modification : " That they should lay before his Majesty a list of three persons, of whom, if his Majesty should reject two, the third should he invested with the episcopal dignity ; but if his Majesty should reject all three, then another list of three should be prepared, and so oti, till his Majesty should signify his approval of any individual, by allowing his name to remain."— It follows either that tlie Duke of Norfolk and Mr. Grattan have been imposed on by certain Catholics, when they were induced to make this proposition ; or that they have made it wholly un- authorized, which last supposition is eertatnly not very probable. The winter has set iu unusually early. The Cambrian mountains were covered with snow on Michaelmas- day, an occurrence scarcely within the recollection of the oldest Welshman living. „ EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIAN FEAT.— On Saturday Williams, butler to Mr. Crouch, of Wigmore street, Ca- vendi h- square, undertook, for a wager of twenty guineas, to go twenty miles iu two hours. He started at Hammer- smith, in unfavourable weather, went straight to Coin- brook, and back to the Magpies, which completed the distance, in one / tour and fifty- three minutes* MARK- LANE, Monday, Oct. 17. We had some quantity of Wheat fresh up from Kent to- day, but the Essex supply was the smallest we have seen since harvest, and there was very little from the more distant ports ; the buyers being rather numerous, in consequence of the neighbouring markets having been also thin, our prices advanced about 3s. per qr. ' for the runs in general, as per particulars beneath; single superfine samples, in some cases, fetched still more money, and we had a renewal of demand for White Seed Wheat, and for the best of the growth of 1807, that rendered extremely high prices for what little there was to be found of those denomina- tions. Rye is rather dearer; White Peas, which declined 10s. per qr. after Monday in last week, revived in a smaller degree this morning; new Tick Beans are current at 57s. per qr. for the best, anil Malt as high as 84s.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13. A Mail arrived yesterday from Sicily. Every thing is quiet in Italy, thou ; h it is obvious that the events which have occurred in Spain have produced a very strong effect upon the minds of the Italians. Bonaparte has issued a decree, perhaps the most tyrannical that ever was issued hy any tyrant, in which he forbids the people of Italy to speak about the affairs of Spain, and the severest punish- ment. is denounced against those, who offend against this decree. Advices reached Malta on the 5th ult. that the Austrian ports are shut against American vessel, and even against their own, if laden with colonial produce. In consequence of this information, six American, ship-., which had arrived ftill freighted at Malta, o-. i their way to Trieste, were about to discharge their cargoes at the first of these ports. The order from Vienna to lay an embargo on ail Ameri- cans, arrived at Trieste too late to prevent the sailing of several vessels belonging to the United States. They took the advantage of one of our convoys for protection, and all of them escape-.!, except one laden with hemp, whieh was detained. Letters from Lisbon contain an account of the arrest of General Garassa, the man who betrayed the Spa- nish troops in Portugal into the hands of Junot. It i. s strange that he should.. have remained in Lisbon after the departure of the French. His treachery had excited so much indignation, that, when discovered, he was with difficulty saved from the vengeance of the populace. It is said that the French hesitate, or in other words, refuse, to surrender the great frontier posts of Elvas and Almeida, in Portugal. These, as they command she entry into Spain, they still retyn in their hands. Under the various pretexts of not yielding to the Portuguese— of not considering the'order of Sir H. Dalrymple as genuine— of not feeling themselves safe to traverse the country, & e. & c. they have maintained the possession of those fortresses, which are the gales of Portugal on the side of Spain, that if the French armies shall prove sue'ee- sful against the pa- triots, they may still have the way open for their return to that country. The market of Lisbon is glutted— every article of pro- vision had fallen more than 50 per ca. it. since the opening of file port. The greater part of the British army, lately employed in Portugal, will immediately proceed to act in aid of the h,. j:. iards in Catalonia ; when the last accounts left Lisbon 0/ 1,0( 10 men were embarking, who, it Was intended, should 1 id ill the neighbourhood of Barcelona. Toe expedition o Sir David Baird has before this landed in the north ; and UK the British arms will essentially support the eaa- e of the Spanish patriot;, on the spot where it is most ex- p ed to the enemy. Junot still remained in the Tagus, on board a British frigate; ttnr was it imagined lie would take his departure be'ore all the articles of the convention were fulfilled, and our transports returned in safety from the ports to whieh they have conveyed the l-' r- nch troop . Sir Hew Dalrymple is returned home. He landed at Portsmouth, from ihe Phoebe frigate last night, and reached London at an early hour this morning. , Sir William Scott is also returned home from Lisbon, in v Niobe frigate, and arrived this day in London. It is f ly believed that the object of his visit to Lisbon was to e pure into the caives that led to the c inclusion of that Convention, " by which the hopes of the nation were dis- a tinted." Immediately oil his arrival, ' lie had an inter- vie*- with Lord Hawkesbury. Dispatches were received this morning from Sir Sidney Smith, at Rio Janeiro, by the Albion cutter, which had a passage of ten weeks.— The Royal Family of Portugal were in tne best health, and the prosperity of the Brazils was rapidly increasing. Yesterday letters were received from Prince Edward's Island, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, to the 11th instant. All accounts received in that Island from the United States concur in the opinion, that Jefferson is determined to per- severe iu the embargo ; and that it is thought lie will have o majority in the Congress, as long as lie continues Presi- dent, to support him. This measure promises to be as beneficial to the British colonies i: i North America, as it has been ruinous to the commerce of the United States. Prince Edward's Island particularly has derived great ad- vantage from it.. A most numerous and respectable Meeting of the Nobility, Clergy, and Freeholders, of Berkshire, was yes- terday held i: i the Town- hall at Reading, for the purpose of taking into consideration the terms ol the late Convention in Portugal. After ths usual form of opening the Court, it was moved and seconded, " That an humble and dutiful Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that ha may be graciously pleased to order that an inquiry should be in- stituted with respect to the cause of the late disgraceful Convention in Portugal, and also beseeching his Majesty to order that such steps may be taken, as will insure the punishment of the guilty person or persons in this disgrace- ful transaction, however high his rank in society may be." This was supported by G. Mitford, Esq. Lord Folkestone, and several other Gentlemen. It was opposed by Serjeant Shepherd, and a few others. At length, however, it was carried by a very large majority. Lord Melville arrived in town from Scotland on Monday last. His Lordship's arrival at this moment has given rise to a variety of conjectures. The effects of the late gales have been severely felt on the coast of Scotland, on the North coast of Ireland, and on the North and W est coast of England. A sloop foun- dered off Abroath, and all the crew perished. The brig Comet, of Whitehaven, laden with timber, from Picton to Belfast; went on shore at Ballycastle, and the Captain, Mate, and fix of the erew were drowned. Several . other vessels have been wrecked, but happily the crews have in n. o t iusi- inees been saved. The life boats have in this respect rendered essential service. FATAL AccidenT.-— Oa Monday an Inquest was held be- fore the Coroner for the county of Surrey, respecting the death of Mary Attwood, aged 14, Eliza, aged 7, and Sarah, aged .5 wars," daughters of Wm. Attwood, of Mitcham, print- cutter. Mr. Parrott, surgeon, deposed, that o,. Tuesday, the lltli inst. he was desired to visit Wm.

PROCKTER, MATCHAM, and Co. with duo £ deference to the public, beg leave to state to the inha- bitants ot Salisbury, Wilton, Andover, & c. etc. that the language of the Old Salisbury Coach Proprietors, as inserted in last Monday's Journal, is false in tato. They tell the public, that nothing but fair gains and due regard to their comfort has been their study : compare their actions with their language, and see how they accord. In the first' place, it must be fresh in every memory, that within the last twelve months they advanced the inside fares only from 2- 1 each passenger to the enormous price of 3.>- s. and, it is a well- known fact, it was very shortly to'havc been 31.'. nil. and that upon a coach carrying eight insides, so that with " the additional advance on the on t. side passenger, and the parcels, would absolutely have made an increase of at least from Si. to 61. per. night, for six nights in each week, which comes to between 1500/. and 1600/. per annum ; a very modest advance.' And they have, in ad- dition to that, the. impudence to assert they had nothing but fair gains in view. Tile fact is, their language is neither more n » r L- ss than telling you, in a polite way, we do notwish you to imagine we have robbed you. What, then, has been their tu. lyof accommodation? Why, none; for it must be quite clear to the meanest capacity, that after allowing that, from the wry unexampled high price of horse provender, it was necessary to advance the price of the fares, surely they ought to have been ' content • with about half that sum, and waited, with other people, the regular course of the markets, as tradesmen ; but no, they say, there is no one we have to fear but Prockter, and he dares not attack us; we have got it all our o'. vn way, and we will make the Salisbury people, pay just what we please, in defiance of them. Answer, if they can, if they ever once consulted the public opinion upon it:— no, the public were beneath them, and not worth a thought; but when tne Commercial started they became, all' at once, the public's most obedient servants, and all at once very liberal, and, ill good truth, from necessity : but after all it Will avail them nothing, if'the friends Of the Commercial do but continue with their support as they have begun. Neither Whitmarsh, Fagg, Penny, or Brown, shall ever become- the- pilot of what they are pleased to term the pirati- cal vessel, the Commercial, which has wrested, and will cont'nue to prevent, extortions from the minds of such luw> cunning men, who act as they have done.

Asserting opr Address to be false iu toto, is no reply to it: We answer prockter & Matcham, by proving their Address to be false and malicious, inserted with no other view than to bring us and our concerns, by such disgraceful publication, into contempt. On t'ne 17th of Jan. 1808, in consequencc of the enormous price of horse provender, we advanced the fare ( which was of necessity general throughout the kingdom,' from 24s. to 28s. not to 30s. and Ills. fid. as they falsely assert. - We call on the Inhabitants of Salisbury to say, and on Mrs. Webb at the Black Horse to answer, it ever S is. Was taken or demanded by us.- - Oats were then 4f! s. per Or. and Beans b'Si. per Or. We maintained a reasonable fare until Ppockter'y threats, con- tained in his Letter to us, were put in force, by. his reducing the fare to 21s.-—— We contend ' i- r fare was reasonable, and much less than such an almost unprecedented price lor norse provender, and 800/. p' r ami. .- duty, demanded.—— Let the. public compare our lares, with what was paid 20 years past, to the then Salisbury Coachmaster, when no duty was paid ; whose business brought him from affluence to ruin. We looted for remuneration in a reduction of prov rider. The good sense of a liberal and discerning pnblic Will form their own opinion, from what is paid for similar distant es, whether, or not, we are the robbers, extortion is, and low cunning men, described. Prockter's Letter is to be seen at the ' Printing- Office; and the following is a Copy verbatim: Sir, Belle SaVage, August 14, 1808. I once more think it proper to address you on the subject of your Salisbury business. I presume I need not inform you my principal aim in the unpleasant business now pending is, to see the coach back to its old channel, tiot only to put the business at rest, but for the accommodation of the Salisbury people who frequent the house ; and 1 beg to assure you, as I well know the fatigue and anxiety iu getting a coacti busi- ness to any satisfactoiy issue, I am equally tenacious of extent of injury, and which, from the nature of the trade, it being so very vulnerable, is easy accomplished ; and of course, the greater the'extcnt of trade, the greater the injury.— The fact is, both yourself and Mr. Fagg have extensive concerns in the country, you in particular, and winch I have no wish to interfere with, or injure, but rather theicth- r way, provided an end can be put to the animosity between us, by suffering the coach to come back. I do not mean to infer t.. at you, as having h . uses of your own in London, were n t justifiable in removing the coach, but I will contend it was not policy; for you might have been certain no opportunity would be iost to retaliate for it; and although pains have been taken to intimidate some of the post masters conctaied, as fast as they think proper to retire, the ground will be covered ; and you may also rent assured, there are speculative people now on the road who much wish to become concerned, and, if admitted, and the concern should ultimately be unsuccessful, yet it will help to injure your trade. I have therefore only one mode left to inform you, that if the business cannot be compromised, and the coach brought to the Bell Savage again, it is the determination of the parties concerned to reduce the whole of the fares considerably, and that immediately. I am also desired to observe to eon, it is not the intention to hold this up' to you as a mere threat, but to- assure you it will be put in execution ; anil I am desired to inform you, no compromise hereafter will be attended to, without the whole loss that may aeerue being made good. I am also requested to ask you, it you wi'il sell your Salisbury business, as iar as you are con- cerned. Waiting your answer, am respectfully Your obe. ii-' nt servant, EDW. PROCKTER. P. S. Shall wait your answer until Friday noon. To Messrs. Whitmarsh & Fagg. I can cnlyfemark, if it is, thought advisable to bring the coach back, your interests in it, as rar as regards myself, sha. i he my study ; arid then most i-. k.. iy some future arrangt- men may ilso be made tor adjusting Mr. Fagg's and my difterenc aoeut s. nieOt . er concerns.

J PELICAN OFFICE, For INsURANCE oh LIVES and granting ANNUITIES. npillS Office was established in Lombard- street,- M London, in the year 17.07, by a numerous and respect- able Proprietary; and the Board of Direct rs, with confidence, arising from the increased prosperity and permanency . of the establishment, as well as from the experience of i's useful- ness and benefit to the public, think it due to those who may be still unacquainted with the importance and ads- ant-. ges of Life Insurance, briefly to suggest some of its leading and pe- culiar recommendations . to almost every degree and rank in society. Life Insurance is of manifest consequence to all who hold estates for life, situation? and offices, civil, ecclesiastical, or professional; to officers in the army and navy, & Ci; as, by payment of an annual premium, t ie party insured is enabled to provide tor wife, chiidren, or others, wnose future welfare he may wish in vain, by other means, to promo. e. It affords a permanent ultimate security toiV.- fsc who advance money upon annuities or otherwise. It renders- leases, determmabb on one or morelives, nearly equal invsiue to freehold estates, as an insurance to the amount of the fine,, payabl - on tire demise of a party nominated in so-' h leases, will prodijcc the sum required for renewal. It is a cheerioe refuse to parties engaged in extensil e and speeulatlve nuclei akitie. s ; it affords to persons in trad : the c- rt'iiu m s. ns of- indemnification against a bad or doubtful debt; in short, Lre insurance, established in policy, sanctioned by government, and con- firmed by the tesi i f exp. ri nee, is become, to al. i- iost cverv situation of human life, a measure equally important, us- iul, and beneficial. Annuities are granted upon the most equitable terms, under a special Act of Parliament, granted to this Office. THOMAS PARKE, Sec. COMPANY'S AGENTS at Salisbury, Mr. Burrough; De- viz s, Wm.

When the army ot the Marquis shall have arrived, there will be 40,000, two- jU'mls of the line, to which may be added 10,000 Asturians. i— The army of Arragon will continue to be commanded by General Palafox. A military Junta, composed of seven Generals, nas been established bv order of the Government.— general Castanos i the President, but this will not prevent Ins taking the ( eld forthwith. 1 General Blake's army at present occupies Trias. His ap- pearance in that quarter has alarmed the French, who have abandoned Milagro, Peratta, and the other small posts they occupied on the left bank of the Ebro. They have directed their march towards Vittoria, pmbably with the i te- itfon of bringing Blake to an action, but the country favours him much, being extremely mountainous. i LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21. It is reported in the Ministerial circles, that Parlia- ment will meet fur the dispatch of business on the 10th « f January next. Government have received accounts from General Leith, who is with the army of General Blake.— They are I'ate-. l the- i'dio taut; and, we understand that, up to that tine, there had been no action between the Patriots and tie I'r. nih; nor had the latter shewn any disposition to bring on a general engagement. A few Spanish papers have also arrived, the contents of which are rather interesting. An article from Madrid presents a promising aspect to tie afSiirs of the Patriots. It also explains the business between Generals Cuesta and Valdes, and in a maimer by no in. aiis favourable to Cuesta, who is called upon to a i nyer for his conduct, is also superseded in his command, and the brave Castanos is appointed his successor. The arrival of the Marquis de Romana's army and the expedition » u; Utr Sir David Baird, has given the Spaniards a supe- riority of veteran troops over those of the enemy in the North of Spain. The Marquis de Romana is to be ap- pointed Commander in Chief of the Patriotic army there. It appears from the Portuguese papers, that the Government of that country have r sued an order, that all persons iu possession of the horses taken from the spanish troops by the French should deliver them at the British head quarters, where they would receive the sum they bad paid for th m. In consequence of this measure, most of the horses have been recovered, and the Spanish cavalry re- mounted. Boston papers to the 14th ult. - were received yes- terday. They contain the President's Answer- to the Address of the inhabitants of Boston, against, the embargo, lie admits the inconveniencies that have been brought on the country by the embargo, and as erts that no - person vievs them with more concern than himself; but he argues tint the co duet of the belligerent powers of Europe had render.- i it ab- oiutely neee- sary, and sjiys that were it politic now to repeal it, the power of so doing is not vested in h m. lie declines, however, to summon Con- gress, as requested by the Boston people, " because the legal period of its meeting is as early as, in that extensive ( taiitry, it could he fully convened by a special call." Xh » recent events in Spain have very much increased the indignation which prevails in America against the embargo, and it seems to be a general opinion, that unless tint measure is repealed at the meeting of Congress, in November, the consequences will be most serious. The various parties are making the utmost exertions to tela a majority of votes for their favourite Candidate, at the next election for the Presidency* The Federalists hope to be able to elect Mr. C. Pinckney or Mr. Clinton. Sir John Moore is appointed Commander in Chief of the British force; destined for Spain. Sir Arthur Wel- lesley, it is said, will be second in command. Lieutenant- General Sir David Baird, with his division, which lately tailed from Falmouth,- is ordered direct to the northern « east of Spain, also to act vr/. h Sir John Moore's force from Lisbon', which, when united with this division, will make the total of the infantry nearly 40,000 men ; a body • tf light cavalry, amounting to 6000, under Lord Paget, ii al- o ordered to act with them. The late revolution at Constantinople has prevented Mr. Adair from proceeding to that capital. He was at si i! ta on the atli -. It. expecting to be immediately recalled. Letters from Rio Janeiro, dated the 3r) of August, state, tiiat Sir Sid. Smith was preparing an Expedition, the military part of which consisted of 2000 English and 3000 Portuguese troops, and the destination of which was kept a prnfee. nd seer: t. Trade was then very dull at. the Brrzils, the markets being overstocked. Tha Lightning bomb, v. i It lie.- e > nvov, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 2- d of July. The Streatham Indiaman, which put in there to repair her u mage, sailed for India oil the illst of July. SIR ARTHUR WeLLEsleY's DEFENCE— This General has circulated among a few select friends a statem- nt, authen- ticated by his own signature, detailing the late Campaign in ' Portugal. ile assumes the motto of Suum cuique and solemnly repeats the declaration, so frequently nude by his friend , that he had no participation whatever, directly or indi- rectly, inthtj Councils which led to the late Convention. After the battle of Vimiera had crowned our brave ir- jops willy victory, Sir Arthur suggested to those ent to til ilie command, that it would be highly judicious to I e .- Up i advanced position with the whole British army * f-;> nd ha accordingly' pointed out the most eligible locality f. ir flat purpose. This sugge- tinn was not, acted upon, sin.!, ill three hours, the French troops, with a rapidity of m • vcuient peculiar to themselves had - eupied the point i- i question !— The de n s iption given of this position atates it to have been of such a commanding natuie, that an ad- v . e. e on, - attack could have been made from it at any- time upon the French army. .. On the - object of Sir Arthur's signature appearing to the original Convention, he remarks that he was ordered t. subscribe his name by his superiors in command, and that hi refusal would have been a breach of the articles of war. The disinclination en the part of his superiors to follow up his suggestions, ocaited apomheniionf. in Sir Arthur Wellesley's mind for the fare of the contest. lTpon Ci • sic- atuif of the B till to vi asion of the Convention h.- iogpresented to him for sotetii. i'v protested a- aimr it, in the ricine army, which he had a few hours before lt d •; he now iepe. it." V. is protest fo his friend;, cm! bchlly challenges his enem. s » to prove his assent or ruii - ijiation in the terms granted to Junot. The terms of liy; Convention, however, in his opinion, do - iot eem to warraiil. tin: aniiaadversious so copiously l.-:-' t -,/ ed tip. in it by tie- public feeling. He ascribes to pal tv - pirit the abu.- ie hestov. ed upon those who signed it, and upon him- elf iu. particular. In reply to what has been advanced against setting Junot and his army at liberty to march against Spain, Sir Arthur observes, that we hail, at '. he same instant, a much more numerous AND better ap- pointed army s.. t at liberty ready to act, in Spain at a moment's notice, and without having to watch aver a nu- ous body of prisoners of war in Portugal. He justifies the terms granted to Junot with respect to landing his • iron;'- in fiance, upon the principle of magnanimity, and vail- in the law of nations in support of his arguments. He proceeds to state, that .' 18,000 men, v. it's a well- apoumted battering train, would have been requisite to hive bombarded Lisbon vvitli success, and that the army • ' employed would have lost twice a> many men as the Ik • - ed, he ides the massacre to which the inhabitants v., eld have been exposed. Letters were this morning received at the India- House from Captains Simpson and Norman, of the Union and Devaynes outward- bound, advising the arrival nf those ships at Madeira on, the 28th of September, with the Hect under convoy of his Majesty's ship Revenge ; ail well, atld were expected to sail from thence the 3d instant, Mr. Montague Burgoyne, of Mark Hall, Essex, has made a tender lo Government to raise, at his own exper. ee, a Regiment of Cavalry, to serve in Spain or Portugal. A Quarterly Assembly was held in Dublin on the 14th, when an Address was moved to his Majesty, on the Convention of Cintra. While, however, the Common Council were discussing the merits of the motion before them, another Address, worded in somewhat a different manner, was sent dotvn from the Board of Aldermen. It expressed the Sorrow of the city of Dublin at. the disgrace- ful term; obtained from the British Commander by the Duke d'Abrantes, and hoped that his Majesty would insti- tute an enquiry into the causes Which led to that fatal measure.— The Address was voted as sent down from the Court of Aldermen. WESTMINSTER MEETING.—- A considerable number of the inhabitants of Westminster assembled yesterday in West- minster Hall.— The High Bailiff read the requisition vvbieh had occasioned his calling the meeting ; after ' which Mr. Wishart, one of the Gentlemen who had signed the requi- sition, briefly recounted the leading circumstances of the lata campaign in Portugal, severely condemned the Conduct of sir Hew Dalrymple, in concluding the Convention of Cintra, and moved a nring of resolutions, purporting that, thereby the hopes of the nation had been disappointed, and that an enquiry into the causes of this event was necessary. The resolutions Vving beeti read by Mr. clarksOn, A Mr. Finnerty addressed the meeting, expressing his opinion that tin: resolutions were defective in two points : they did not convey, iu terms sufficiently ardent, the feelings of an insulted nation, and the remedy th y proposed was inade- quate to the evil complained of. They proposed such an enquiry as to Mi s - let . should seem meet; from the present Ministry a fair enquiry could not be expected : the only chance of a till! investigation was from Parliament. A Court of Enquiry or a Court Martial could only meet the military offenders, but Parliament might drag to light those who had appointed incompetent Officers to the com- mand, and who. ought to be responsible for stick appoint- ments. He censured Ministers for the insult which lit: - aid had been offered to the Citizens of London, in the answer to their Address— compared some of the Corpora- tion with bis Majesty's Cabinet Ministers, with the pro- fessed intention of shewing that the former, possessed as much talent as the latter,— expressed his regret that private friendship should have occasioned Sir Francis Burdett to neglect his public duty ( Sir'F. did not attend the meeting on account of Mr. horne Tooke's illness),— highly praised Mr. Sheridan, who stood close to him,— and ; it length, reverting to the contest in which the Spanish patriots are engaged, observed that they had cotnm meed it. hv getting rid of their domestic foeB. He here applied some ' coar e epithet's to the poor old deposed King, which occasioned so great a clamour that he coui. l not. proceed farther.— Some additional resolutions, which he proposed, were therefore read by Mr. Clarkson. These it solu ions asserted that the principal cause of the Convention was the present system uf military promotion, by which rank and Influence were preferred to military experience; thai, this arose out of the defective state of our representation ; and that nothing but a| parliamentary reform could remedy these complicated evils. Mr. Sheridan severely censured the answer given to the Address of the Citizens of London, and objected to the ad- ditional resolutions, as the subject of parliamentary reform ioultl not properly bs discussed at this meeting. After several other Gentlemen had spoken, the reso- lutions proposed by Mr. Wishart were agreed to; the others were rejected.—- An Address to his Majesty, founded on the resolutions adopted, was then read and unanimously agreed to ; and it ivas further resolved that the High Bailiff, Sir Franc's Burdett, and . Mr. Sheridan, should be requested to present the same. On Saturday a considerable degree of alarm was ex- cited in Leith, in consequence of advices from Dunbar that, the Cygnet sloop of war, Capt. Dix, had been taken suddenly in a violent gale, between Redeastle and St. Abbe's Head, ill which she had been obliged to cut away her masts, and was in danger of being driven oil shore. Ad- miral Vashon dispatched the Spitfire sloop of- war and a gun- brig lo her assistance ; and the life- boat, with a number of Newhaven fishermen, who volunteered their services to man her, accompanied by several naval officers, were sent off iu the naval store house waggon, drawn by ten horses. The ship was happily in safety before this a - islanee ar- rived. The latent accounts mention the Cygnet being seen in tow of the Spitfire, steering for Leith Roads. On Wednesday evening,. as Captain Harford, of ( he Chanticleer sloop of war, who had been on shore at North Yarmouth, was proceeding to his ship in the gig, a squall came on, in which the boat upset, and Captain Harford, a midshipman, and tvvo seamen were unfortunately drowned' The master by his repeated cries was heard, and saved bv • a boat which put off from the beach, the crew of which followed the souiid, and too1', him off the bottom of the'gig.. He reports that the Captain had not been washed off many minutes before the boat reached him. One man has been found dead in Wales, and another near Whitby, both of whom perished by the severity of the weather, iu the night of Saturday se'miigbt. Among the dreadful calamities occasioned by the late storm, a Dublin packet has been towed into llfracombe, the crew having been washed overboard. A mournful instance of mortality occurred last week in the family of Mr. Christ. Heaps, jun. of Leed .— Three of his children, a girl and two boys, were successively attacked with a degree of fever, accompanied with an ulcerated sore throat, ( a complaint very prevalent, at pre- ent among children) which was succeeded in all of them by that alarm- ing complaint the croup, and terminated fatally to the first on Friday, the second on . Monday, and the third on Tues- day last. FRAUDULENT NOTES. The notes of the pretended Ipswich and Southampton Banks continue to be offered iu payment, to the shopkeepers in and about the metropolis. A woman vvas on Wednesday examined at. Bow- street, on a charge of having obtained change for. one of the pretended Southampton 5/. notes, from a shopkeeper at Deptford, of whom she had purchased a 4- s. shawl ; and another shop- keeper who had been defrauded by a similar note f" r 2/. deposing that the woman had a few minutes before tendered him the same note, that, he had told her it was a bad one, anil cautioned her against attempting to pass it., Mr. Read, the magistrate, was clearly of opinion that this proved the intention of fraud, ami committed the prisoner to take her trial at the quarter sessions for the county of Kent. EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY.— Lately died, in the village of Aberfeldie, Perthshire, John Stewart, commonly known by the name of Colonel John Stewart, at the very advanced age of 111 years. The history of this man is not- a little remarkable. At the age of 13 lie joined the Pretender's banners, and was present at the battle of Sheriff Muir, near Stirling, as a young piper. In the year 1745, he again took up arms in support of the pretensions of the House of Stewart, and was present in the same capacity, in ijte battles of Falkirk, Preston Pans, and Culloden, in vviiieh last ho re .- eived a severe wound in the thigh, in coi. •-. seuee of which he vvas so lame, that he made use of crutches ever after. Ho was married to eight wives, by each of whom, except the la it, he had several children. The number of his offspring now alive is calculated to he more than 200. he was by trade a tinker, and was remarkably famous for making Highland dirks and snuff mulls. He retained to the last the full possession of his mental faculties, and walked to church, which is at the distance ot a mile and a half from his house, the Sunday before his death. The 1 tte Sir William Forbes, of Edinburgh, generously allowed him, for many years back, 10/. per annum. It is believed that his death was more owing to excess in drinking whiskey, of which beverage he was always rather fond, than to any natural decay. BALINASLOE, ( Ireland) Oct. — The annual Mart for Sheep and Cattle closed here liiis day.

Every man of business in the British Empire must recollect how much he had to unlearn in the practice of Arithmetic, when having left school he first entered into the commerce of life, and also how little he had learnt which was strictly ap- plicable to real transactions. The present System of Arith- metic, disregarding the f.' ttters of its predecessors, has con- sulted alone the actual and prevailing occasions for the exercise of this Useful art. Every branch of trade and manufacture has been sedulously c insulted in the new exemplification of the various Tabic s of Weights and Measures ; t- Very thing obsolete or usaless in other books of Arithmetic has been expunged; and ev ery thing has been introduced that is essentially neosary.

The proprietor submits the preceding to the consideration of invalids and their friends. He takes the liberty to ohsAve, that few are disappointed of a. cure who persevere- in the use of the medicine ; arid, as » -. ie inveterate complaint of Cancer, wherever centered, and Scrophula, submit to its efficacy, all of an inferior description, arising from Scurvy, are quickly eradicated, such are Pimpled Facts, Ulcerated Sore Legs', Flushings, Indigestion, the. of which he has numerous cases.

A Russian Officer, accompanied by a French Mes- senger, landed yesterday at Deal, from a fla<; of truce, and arrived at the Foreign ORiee at twelve o'clock last night. They were shewn from thence to Mr. Canning's house in Bruton- street; soon after which Messengers were sent to his Majesty and to the dif- ferent Ministers, and a Council was summoned, which sat till a late hour this day. These foreigners are understood to have been sent from Erfurth, by the Emperors Alexander and Na- poleon. The nature of their dispatches cannot possi- .1) 1 v be known, but it is conjectured that thev bring i .. riotous proposals for peace. The idea meets with general reprobation. It is said that a Message was this morning sent from Mr. Canning to the Russian Officer and French Messenger, or^ ring them to return home immediately, but that " fins message was after- v, !

The Prince of Wales attended every day at the Dock- yard to see them all on boaid, and by his presence animated the men, and accelerated their departure. His Royal Highness afterwards gave an elegant dinner at the Crown to the principal Naval and Military Commanders, and Officers of his regiment; the Duke of Clarence, who arrived with his two sons about five o'clock, was also of the party. On Tuesday the Royal Party visited Monkton Fort, and the regiments at Gosport; and about two o'clock the regi- ment; of this garrison were drawn out on gouthsea Com- mon, and reviewed by the Duke of Clarence. The Prince, with a numerous party, was entertained by the Hon. Com- missioner Grey. On the following morning, about nine o'clock, the Prince left Portsmouth for London— the whole of the mi- litary of the neighbourhood lining tile road as far as Hilsea. On Thursday the Duke of Clarence proceeded to Spit- head, attended by the Admirals and Captains of the squa- dron, and visited the Barfleur, Repulse, and several other ships; he was received with the yards manned, and a sa- lute from all the ships, which, from the fineness of the weather and the number of ships, produced a grand effect. Yesterday his Royal Highness went over to Gosport, to dine ai General Porter's. Trie transports with the 7th and 10th Dragoons arc still detained by adverse winds. Gen. Slade pro- ceeds in the Sybelle. More transports are preparing with all possible ex- pedition for the remainder of the cavalry under orders for embarkation, Letters received. bv the Iris frigate, which arrived on Wednesday from the coast of Spain, state that the French force which entered Bilboa amounted to at least 18,000 men, under the command of General Berthier ; brother to the Field Mashal) who is next in command to Marshal Ney ; and that the Marquis de Portazzo, with his 7000 men, had effected a junction with General Blake's ai my. It was reported that General Palafox, acting in con- junction with General Blake, had posted himself to the eastward of Bilboa, whilst General Blake had brought up his forces to the westward, so as to cut oil' all supplies from reaching the town, Whether this latter report be true or not, we must soon ( from the relative situation of the armies) have important news from this quarter. On the 10th inst. in lat. 41.20. long. 11. 30. the Iris fell in with ten sail of transports from Lisbon, with French troops on board, bound for Quiberon, under convoy of a frigate.

The Portuguese schooner Romania arrived on Monday from Lisbon, in fourteen days, but brings no news. She lias a v;. luable cargo of fruit, which will be very acceptable, as lemons and oranges were extremely scarce and dear. Oil Tuesday sailed the Insolent gun- brig, with dispatches far Corunna ; and Intelligent gun- brig, with a convoy for the River.— Anivf 1 the Encounter gun- brig, with a eon- vov from the Downs.

The Spanish troops from Gottenburgh have experienced bad weather in the Bay of Biscay.— The Defiance fell in with 15 sail of transports ( the fleet having been much dis- persed), and conducted thtnn safe to St. Andero. The Defiance also fell in with two large Spanish frigates, be- tween St. Andero and Bilboa, with heavy artillery and battering cannon, for General Blake's army, and prevented their I dling into the hands ot the French, by sending in- formation that they were ill possession of Bilboa. On Thursday morning a French lugger, supposed to be a privateer,' and apparently full of men, was discovered nee.

Trie High Sheriff has appointed a meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Freeholders, and Inhabi- tant of this county, to he held 011, Wednesday se'n- night, for the purpose of taking into consideration thy propriety of an Address to his Majesty on the subject of the late Convention in Portugal. ( Sec Advertisement in the next Column.) On Monday la- t, at Christchurch Fair, above three thousand etieep ( Dorsets, South Downs, Rylands, and some mixtures of Merinos) were penned, and about a third , art were supposed to be sold. This Fair of Sheep is a trial of the Agricultural Society of Christchurch, as an ex- periment to accommodate the dealers in the Isle of Wight and neighbourhood, but the general failure of the turnip crop was the eause of few buyers attending. The situation for a Sheep Fair is certainly most accommodating to the public, a tl better success is « xpected another year. On Monday last was married, at Fordingbridge, Mr. Joseph Brown, of Marlborough, to Miss Mary Richman, of Fordingbridge. On Monday died Mrs. Tabitha Daniel, wife of Mr. Thomas Daniel, Newport, Isle of Wight, and sister to the late Mr. Edward Hewett, of Martin, Wilts, in the 78th year of her age, after experiencing a short but pain- ful illness, borne with becoming resignation and christian f , rti tide. Her lo s will be most sincerely lamented by all who had the happiness of her acquaintance, but to an affectionate husband and three children it must for ever be irreparable : her memory wilt long, very long be endeared to many, from the benevolence of her disposition and m- baiiity of manners, which shone conspicuous through a series of a well- spent life. On- Saturday . last Mrs. Gale, of the White Hart Inn, Weyhill, was robbed of notes to tile amount of fifteen pounds, which were taken from her escrutoir by some person or persons unknown. The standing of Mr. White, of Andover, was broken open, hut the offender, being alarmed, ran away, and left his hat, whieh may perhaps lead to his detection. On Friday morning the 14th inst. died, at her bouse in Romsey, Mrs. Wansbrough, daughter of the late Alderman Wansbrough, of Salisbury. On Saturday the loth inst. died, at Cricklade, in this county, of which place he Was Vicar, the Rev. Richard Purdy, D. D. formerly of Queen's College, Oxford, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with truly christian fortitude and resignation. He was seized with a paralytic affection in January last, as be was addressing one of his pathetic discourses to his congregation ; but he retained the perfect use of his faculties to the last. As an affectionate husband and parent,— a sincere friend and intelligent plea- sant- companion, and as a valuable literary character, from whose pen other useful works might have been expected, his death may be considered both a public and a private loss ; but more particularly by a large circle of deeply afflicted relatives and justly esteemed friends, who were sensible of his worth, must it be long and sincerely la- mented. On Saturday last died, at Clarendon Park, after a few days illness, and much regretted by all her friends, Mrs. Bathurst, the Lady of Colonel Bathurst, late of the Blues. On Monday morning last, as Mrs. Short, of kingston- hall- farm, in Dorsetshire, was engaged up stairs assisting her maid- servant, she was alarmed by t* ie screams of her child, a fine boy five years old, and on running down stairs found him enveloped in flames. Her efforts to extinguish the flames were frustrated by the well meant endeavours of the servant to assist her; but lier cries brought some neigh- bours, who tore off the child's cloaths in time to save his life, though he is much burnt in bis fingers, right arm, shoulder, and side of the face. Mrs. Short's hands and arms are dreadfully burnt: some time elapsed before a sur- gueon could be procured; antl in this interval the Misses Dean, the ever ready friends of the distressed, applied oils and other emollients, but could with difficulty support her. On rbe arrival of the surgeon, her sufferings were alleviated, and there are hopes of the speedy recovery of herself and child. The little fellow bears the pain and dressing of his wounds with wonderful heroism ; he says he was throwing some chips on the fire when the flames caught his pincloth. — Mrs. Bankes, of Kingston- Hall, pays the most kind and condescending attention to the sufferers. On the same day and hour, a servant of Henry Bankes, Esq. fell from a tree in the Park of Kingston- Hall, and broke his collar- bone. And 011 the preceding day, a girl at Sturminster Mar- shal, striking a light, put some gunpowder in the tinder- box, which in exploding burnt her dreadfully in the hands, arms, and face, and set her clothes 01 fire: she ran up stairs to her mother, who fortunately extinguished the flames before she had received much further injury. On Friday se'nnight, the child of a poor woman, at Nettleton, in this county, during the absence of its mo- ther, was accidentally burnt to death. It is lamentably remarkable, that about twelve mouths since, the brother of the name child was accidentally drowned. On Friday morning a poor old man was found dead in Marlborough High- street, supposed to have perished from the inclemency of the weather. At a General Court Martial held at Winchester, on the I8th of July 1808, and continued by adjournment to the 20th of the same month, Ensign Henry Ball, of the So- merset Militia, was arraigned on the following charge, viz. — Behaving in a scandalous and infamous manner, such as is unbecoming the character of an Officer and a Gentleman, in having sold to one Richard Davis, of Wilmington, in the county of Sussex, 011 or about the 14th of January 1808, several casks of contraband spirits, which said casks hatl been seized by the said Ensign Henry Ball, and after- wards, at Cuckmere, on the said 14th of January 1808, taken into the custody of Thomas Allworth, antl other offi- cers of the Customs, at the port of Newhaven, in the county of Sussex. The Court, after considering the evi- dence on both sides, was of opinion that Ensign Ball was not Guilty of the crime charged, and honourably acquit- ted him of the same ; which decision his Mitjesty has ap- proved and confirmed. On Thursday the house of John Chapman, a small but industrious farmer and gardener, at Littleton- Pannell, in this county, was broke into whilst part of the family were gone to Devizes fair, and the remainder at work in the fields; a box in an upper apartment was also broken open, and between eight and nine, pounds in note - and cash stolen therefrom ; but fortunately an unlocked box, in whieh a much larger sum was deposited, escaped the clo, e in- spection 1 f the thieves, and the farmer had paid away ^ 0/. for rent a few days before, which sum might otherwise have fallen into their hands. Benjamin Crocker, charged with forging certain names to a mortgage, with intent to defraud Thomas Willis, of Sutton Pointz, is committed to the Castle at Dorchester.

Pl SALISBURY. MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1908. The Dorsetshire Militia, commanded by Colonel Bingham, has marched into Mill Bay Barracks, Ply- mouth Dock, to relieve the West Middlesex, Colonel Bailey, in the garrison duty.— The West Middlesex has marched through this city for Portsmouth. The remains of Mrs. Fox, the beloved and lament- ed Lady of General Fox, are to be interred ' his day at Farley, near this city, in the family vault of the Ilches- ter and Holland families, founded by their ancestor Sir Stephen Fox. One of the Misses Beckford, of Fonthill, according to report, is shortly to be married to a Portuguese Nobleman.— Si. James's Chronicle. At Sherborne fair, 011 Monday last, there was the great- est shew of Sheep and Lambs ever remembered, not less than 13,000 were penned. Lambs sold on the average 6s. per head below the last year's prices, and a great number were driven away unsold. There were also a great many fat and lean beasts; the sale of both sorts dull, and the prices declining. At our Fair, on Tuesday last,' the sale of Cheese, of inferior quality was very dull, but tine old Cheese commanded high prices,— from 75s. to 80s.— prime Dairies 82s. to 95s.— A great deal of new Cheese re- mained unsold, and was removed for sale at Winchester Fair. Lately was married, Major Cook, of the late 28th Light Dragoons, to Miss Surtees, daughter of A. Surtees, Esq. and niece of Lady Eldon. On Monday was married, at Exeter, Tho.

THE BEAUTIES OF PURCELL. THE Public are most respectfully informed, that Mr. CORFE has it in contemplation to publish a SE- LECTION of PURCELL's VOCAL MUSIC, so. much and so deservedly admired by all Amateurs of that captivating Science. The Editor's intention is, to offer this valuable Work to the Public on the same terms, and executed in the same ma mer, as his Selections of the Compositions of the great Handel, pro- vided his subscriptions should be such as to justify the at- tempt, and promise success to its execution. J. C. thinks it necessary to add that he is induced to un- dertake the above work, at the particular request of some Friends who hold a distinguished rank in the musical world, and who often regretted that the delicious strains of Purcell were not more generally known, on account of the irregular and obsolete manner in which they are printed, and for want of a more compact selection of his choicest pieces. The Editor purposes printing one volume: should that meet the Success he hopes, he will be induced to extend the pub- lication to a second volume. Subscriptions ( One Guinea) received at the Printing- Office, at Messrs. Banks's Music Shop, and at Mr. Corfe's, in the Close, Salisbury; and at Mr. Preston's, No. 97, Str . nd, London.
