THE AND GENERAL ADVERTISER OF WILTS, HANTS, DORSET\ AND SOMERSET [ NUMBER 3751. VOLUME LXXIV.] MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 1809. PRICE SIXPENCE. [ Stamp Duty _ Paper axid Print, Monday's and Tuesday's Posts. CORUNNA, Dec. 20. APartv of CavaJrv, under Sir Jolm Moore's army, have intercepted a French courier, with very im- portant di- patches. It is understood th » . t the ad- vance of our array is a consequence of the informa tion con- taiiicd ill these dir patches. The last division of Sir John Mitre's army left Salamanca on the 10th, and tbe Marquis de ftomana has joined Sir David Baird. 21. A messenger who left Benavento on Saturday cvcliiii^ brings a confirmation of the junction of Sir Joh. i Moore's and Sir David Baird's armies at that pilace. He say* that all the troops are in good. health and hij; h spirits, and eager to meet the enemy- There is constant skirmish- ing between our picquets of cavalry and the French, and many prisoners have arrived at Bcnavento; ( it) French cavalry were brought in on Friday. Jicc. $ 3. The fact of the French having obtained pos- ic. iion of Madiid it now well known here ; but they have it> great number of men. It is believed that they will ri e retain the town long, as the advance of our army will c< St oif their reinforcements. The people are joining leial Romana's army in great numbers. lie has now „ j vard* of ^ 0,000 men under his command, all well » p lointetl. LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 9. Two Mails from Gottenburgh arrived hist night, » < i » h advices from thence of the 22d ult. at which period no urther intelligence had been received from the armies. It is inferred therefore that no warlike operations have been K- commeneed by the enemy. Considerable bustle was excited in Town this morn- ; n » , by the belief that some intelligence of a very favourable nature had been received from Spain. A Corunna Mail did arrive, with papers to the ' 27th, and a massenger has al. o reached Lord Castlereagh's Office, with disjiatches: in • resequence of which, the following notice was circulated In the course of the forenoon.— " DovvNiNG « STi! EF. T, Jan. 2.180.9. " Letters of the 16th of Dec. dated Toro, have been re- fceived from Lieut.- Gen. Sir John Moore, whti was then forming bis junction with Sit David Bai> d, and Mas march- in, with the hope of falling in with Marshal Soult, who Va been ordered to make himself master of Leon and .'. mora. Brigadier- Gen. Charles Stewart, with part of •!> « 19th Ligbt Dragoons, had surprised a id tajcen a de- li : hment ot cavalry and infantry at Rueda, with about jO. mxW. in value, of Cotton, which the French bid eol- IYHKA. They had also taken a patrole of an Officer and - JO Dragoons." This H « elUg « nce, so far a-! it goes, is certainly agreeable. It is pleasing that our troop-, at the first ra « inait of their • fining in contact with the French { however small the • csrtio I engaged) should have beat them; and it is_ more phasing to obserre that there is a chance of cutting off SoiiU'* division, which was evidently detached fjr the pur- pose of cutting off the retreat of the liritih upon Corunna. But this chance is much diminished by the probability that fault's corps may be much augmented. Reinforcements to « 11 amount of 60,000 men, for the French arffiv, are said t, have entered Spain during the month of November. C jneral Janot, with partoftlie army that evacuated Por- tugal, was at St. Sebastian M long ago as the lOtb of that Xunth. Letters from Lisbon to _ fhe Ifjth, and from Oporto t » ( he 13tb ult. have been received. The former state IS « t in . —-. 1 ti,- Brrtirf. at Lisbon had marched 6> t Spain. The letters from Oporto mention, that several persons o! the first rft'pectability had been arrested that morning, or. suspicion of being partisans of the French, They also • rtite that the effects of the energy latterly displayed by the Portuguese Government, began to be felt all over the kingdom. The disaffected and suspected were every where taken into custody. MARK- LANE, Monday, Jrrn 2.

After two hours' rowing, the weather very hot, th* y approached La Volpe, who commenced a fire of niusqctry on them, which was returned with the sw'n-.' ds, and, when near, with muskets.

Portuguese Papers to the late date of Dec. 21, were received this morning.— The following important state- ment is given in the Lisbon Gazette of Dec. 16, lieing the Substance of an official report made to the Supreme Junta of Spain by the biave Don Jo=. Palafox, General in Chief of the Armv of Arragon, dated Dec. $ — " The enemy, from 12 to 15,000 strong, supported by ? 000 horse, attacked, on the In lust, the extensive line of the canal of Saragossa. The bridge, defended by the in- trepid Airagonese, was three times taken and retaken. The divi ion of Astu: i to troops, which serves in the army, behaved with toe utmost gallantry, and attacked the eucu\ y with such uncommon intrepidity and spirit, that they completely routed and compelled him to retreat with tbe utmost precipitation, notwithstanding his great su- periority iti number. He left 2,000 killed on the field of battle, and was convinced by his complete defeat that if he lately obtained some advantages, he was merely indebted for them to casualties arising from circumstance's, and to the want of subordination and discipline which prevailed among some pf our troops.— Let them imitate the perse- verance- of the Arragonese, and their obedience to their Generals an 1 Chiefs, and tbe enemy will soon experience thet neither the rapidity of his movements, nor his boasted superiority of tactics, can subdue a nation which has sworn to live and die free, Spaniards, let us fulfil the sacred oath ; God, the King, the country, our wives and children, exact it from us ; let us not frustrate their hopes, the hopes of all Europe, which has her eyes fixed on us with admiration jind envy." The division of the French army defeated as above stated, * » a , doubtless, that commanded by Marshal Ney, of whom the writer of one of the late French Bulletins briefly stated that he had been at Saragossa. An American vessel, which lately sailed from this c untry for Amsterdam, has returned, having been refitted iieiinission to land.— So great is the severity with which the Dutch decrees against commerce are enforced, ( i. t not the slightest communication was allowed between ber and. the shore. She has, of course, brought no news, The frost having set in, she was obliged to cut the ice, and warp out of Amsterdam harbour. • M. MTARY IMQCIRY.— The Duke of York has published t'le Report of the Committee of Military Inquiry on the C/ ntra Convention. Two- thirds of this Report are occupied i. l giving an abstract of the evidence ; after which the Ke- jo. t proceeds thus :— On the whole it appears, that the operations of the ar ov under Sir Arthur Wellesley, from his landing in M . ndego Bay the 1st of August, until the conclusion of the ac ion at Vimiera, the 21st of August, were highly Ho- lt enable and successful, and such as might he ^ xpected f • oil a distinguished General, at the head of a British army © 14,000 men, augmented ou the 20th and 21st to 17,000, < 1 ri ' i g only some small aid from a Portuguese corps ( 1600 men), and against whom an enemy, not exceeding 14, > 00 men in the field, was opposed ; and this before the arri al of a very considerable reinforcement from England • nder Lieut.- Gfen. Sir John Moore, which, however, did arrive and join the army, from the 25th to the 30th of August. 1l appears a point on which no evidence adduced can e able the Board to pronounce, with confidence, whether or not a pursuit after the battle of the 21st, could have been efficacious ; nor can the Board feel confident to deter- mine 011 the expedience of a forward movement to Torres Yedra « , when Sir Harry Burrard had stated weighty consi- derations against such a measure. Further, it is to be ob- served, that so many collateral circumstances could nut be known in the moment of the enemy's repulse, as after- wards became clear to the army, and have been represented to the Board. And considering the EXTRAORDINARY CIR- CUMSTANCF. S under which two new Commanding Generals arrived from the ocean, and joined the army ( the ofie during, and the other immediately after, a battle, and those successively superseding each other, and both the original commander within the space of 24 hours), it is not surprising that the army was not carried forward, until the second day after the action, from the necessity of the Ge- nerals being acquainted with the actual state of things, and of their army, and proceeding accordingly. t;- It appears'that the Convention of C. intra in all its pro- gress and conclusion, or at least all the principal articles of it, was not objected to hy the five distinguished Lieutenant- Generals of that army; ami other General Officers who were on that service have concurred in the great advan- tages that were immediately gained, to the country of Por- tugal-, to the army and navy, and to the general service, iiv the conclusion of the convention at that time. " On a consideration of all circumstances, as set forth in this Report, we most humbly submit our opinion, that lio farther military proceeding is necessary on the subject.. Because, howsoever some of u. s may differ in our senti- n> - nts respecting the fitness of the Convention in the rela- tive situation of the two armies, it is our unanimous decla- ration, that unquestionable zeal and firmness appeal- throughout to have been exhibited by Lieutenant- Generals Sir Hew Dalrymple, Sir Ilarry- Burrard, and Sir Arthur Wetles'ev, as " well as that tbe ardour and gallantry of the of the officers aud soldiers, on every occasion during MOIKA, General PETER CRAIG, General IlEATHriF. i. D, General 22d of December 1808. On the 25tli of December, the Commander in Chief wrote a Letter to Sir David Dundas, as President of the Board of Inquiry, wherein his Royal Highness says, " Your opinion upon the conditions of the Armistice and Conven- tion, which the words of bis Majesty's warrant expressly enjoin should be strictly examined, enquired into, and re- ported upon, has been altogether omitted. I feel it my duty, therefore, to call your attention to these two princi- pal features of this important ease, the Armistice and Convention, aud to desire that you may be pleased to take the same again into your most serious consideration, aud as it appears npoil the face of your Report, that a differ- ence of opinion exists among the Members of the Board, which may probably produce a dissent. from the majority upon these very questions; - you will be pleased, therefore, to desire such of the Members as may be of a different opinion from the majority upon those two queftitfns, to record upon the face of the proceedings their- reason for such dissent." In consequence of this letter, tbe Board met on the 27th at the Jiulge- Advocate- General's Office, when they agreed that the following Questions should be put to each of the Members Of the Board :— Do you, or do") DISAPPROVE. APPROVE. Lieut..- Gen. Nicolls Lt.- Gcn. SirG. Nugent Earl of Pembroke l. orrl Heathfield General Craig General Sir D. Dundas Earl of Moira APPROVE. Lt.- Gcn. Sir G. Nuircnt Gen. Lord llcatbheld General Craig Gen. Sir D. Dundas DISAPPROVE. Lt.- Gen. Nicolls Earl of Pembroke Earl of Moira you not approve of the Armistice as concluded on - J the - 2- 2d of Aug. ) » 1808, in the re- lative situation of the two ar- jriies ? " Do you, or do* you not approve of the Conven- tion corrclude/ 1 upon the 31stof August 1808, in the relative situ- ation of the two ^ armies ? J The three General Officers who thus differ from the ma- jor tv have given their reasons for that difference of opi- nion . Lieut.- Gen. Nicolls is very concise : " I think, considering the great increase of our force from the first suspension of hostility to the definitive sign- ing of the Convention, added to the defeat the enemy had suffered, Sir Hew Dalrymple was fully entitled to have in- sisted upon more favourable terms. Ol. NICOI. LS, L. G." The Earl of Pembroke f- ays,—" 1 approve of the Armis- tice after due consideration of the relative situation of the two armies on the evening of the 22d'of Augn- t, but I cannot fully approve of the whole of the Convention, after a due consideration of the relaiive situation of the two ar- mies at that time ; because itdoes not appear to mo that, in the progress of the negociation, sufficient stress was laid upon the great advantages which had resulted, or were likely to result, from the former successful operations of the British army in the field, from the considerable rein- forcements wljich had joined it, subsequent to the com- mencement of the negociation, from the cause in which the British army was engaged being the cause of Portugal, which gave good reason to reckon upon the good will, if not upon the active assistance, of the majority of the inha- bitants; and, also, from tbe unusual readiness which, as it appears to me, was manifested by Gen. Jiinot to enter into negociation, and by the French nogociator to accede to terms as they were proposed, and to such construction as Lieut.- Gen. Sir 1 lew Dalrymple put upon them in some instances, where they might have borne a difference of interpretation. . 1 therefore think it probable, for tbe above reasons, that if less favourable terms to the French army had been insisted upon, they would have been de- ceded to. PEMBROKE, Lieut.- Gen.') The Earl of Moira, after an unnecessary apology .' or differing from the majority on a question of judgment, goes into the subject at great length, and assigns the bil- lowing among other forcible reasons for his dissent >— " The French make an attack with their whole disposeable strength, and are repulsed with b- avv loss, though but a part of the British army is brought isrfo the action. Sir Hew Dalrymple notices what he calls " tbe critical and embarrassed state of Junot," before that General has been pressed by the British army ; and in explanation of the expression, observes, that the surrender of Dupont, the existence of the victorious Spanish army in Andalusia, which cut off the retreat of the French in that direction, snd the universal hostility of the Portuguese, made the si- tuation of Junot one of great distress. The strongest of all proof, as to Junot's opinion, arises from his sending the very morning after the battle of Vimiera, to propose tbe evacuation of Portugal ; a step which sufficiently indicated that he was satisfied he could not only make no effectual defence, but could not even prolong tbe contest to take the chance of accidents. He seems, indeed, to have been without any real resource. " It appears in evidence, that of the troops left by him in Lisbon and the forts, a considerable proportion were of very doubtful quality. Those troops on whose fidelity he could confide, had been dismayed by a signal defeat, and they were sensible they had no succour to look to from abroad. To the British Generals it was known, when the Armistice was gianted, lhat 10,000 men under Sir John Moore, as well as the 3fst and 42d regiments of foot, with the 18th dragoons, might be immediately reckoned upon ; and although much advantage had not been drawn from the Portuguese troops, their support and the general vio- lence of the country against the French, cannot be laid out of this calculation. " The disparity of force and of circumstances was, then, such as could leave no doubt that the issue must be favour- able to us. The question then comes to this: whether the Convention did ( as has been assarted; secure all the objects which were proposed in the expedition. If it did not, it was not what his. Majesty was entitled to expect from the relative situation of the two armie'. " I humbly conceive it to have been erroneous to regard the emancipation of Portugal from the French, as the sole or principal object of the expedition. Upon whatever ter- ritory we contended with tbe French, it must be a promi- nent object in the struggle to destroy their resources, and to narrowJtheSr means of injuring us, or those whose etmse we are supporting. This seems to have been so little con- sidered in the Convention, that the terms appear to have extricated Junot's army from a situation of infinite distress, in wInch it was wholly out of play, and to have brought it, in a state of entire equipment, into immediate currency, in a quarter too, where it must interfere with our most urgent and interesting concerns." LOCAL MILITIA.— Lord Hawkesbury has sent a circular letter to the Lords Lieutenants of Counties, dated the 7th ult. in which he- states, that, from and after the 24th inst. one half of the Non- commissioned Officers and ttrummers, allowed on the establishment of each regiment of Local Militia, together with the Drum- major, shall be placed on permanent pay; and that from, the aforesaid period, the pay of the Adjutant should be increased to 8i. per diem, and that of the Quarter- master to . ru. per diem.— The following is the allowance for clothing Serjeant- Major.. ,£ 4 10 0 S: rjeant 3 10 0 Drum- Major 4 1 a Corporal-. £ l 0 0 Drummer 3 1 9 Private 1 19 t! A more affecting case than the following has seldom occurred:— The wife of Mr. Middleton, a farmer at Win- moor, near Heslerton, upon the Wolds, in Yorkshire, with her infant child, her sister and the housekeeper, had been at a farm- house of Mr. Middleton's, at some little distance, and set out on their return home in the afternoon ol' Saturday se'nmght. Two men belonging to the farm had been with Mr* Middle. ton afterwards, and told hifti of the party having left the farm, but supposed, a-^ the day was so stormy, they must have returned, with an intention of stopping there for the night. Should this not prove to be the case, the men proposed to go back immediately to Mr. Middleton, and inform him of it. Not hearing any thing from them, Mr. Middluton supposed the party had returned and were safe. About ten o'clock at night, however, as he was going to look after some slieup near the huuse, his foot struck against something, which, on examination, proved to he the body of a dead child; and his astonish- ment and affliction may be more easily conceived than ex- pressed, when he found it to be his own, and only daughter. On making further search immediately, his wife and house- keeper, and his wife's sister, were found at a short distance, nearly lifeless; the two former arc recovering, but his sister had lost the use of her limbj, and little hopes ate entertained of her regaining the Use of them.

Old Salisbury Coach Prop'rietors with their former.— They can now be very submissive and thankful for favours at lfJj. when only in the month of June they scarcely knew any traveller at Ms and 30.!. and, ac- cording to the strides they were making, it is impossible to conjecture where their avarice and enormous charges would have stopped; it therefore needs no comment to, perceive that their present aim, bv reducing to ltls. is only to endeavour to crush the COMMERCIAL; ijndif suffered by the Publick to accomplish this, judging from their former conduct, what have they no; reason to expect they will in future be made to pay? It therefore only remains with the Inhabitants of Sa- rum, Wilton, & c. who have proved themselves alive to just motives, by the strong and prompt support they have already given to the COMMERCIAL, to continue that support, if even the Old Party were to run for nothing, and to treat such conduct with the contempt it merits; and rest assured it is the intention of the Proprietors of the COMMERCIAL to remain STEADY IN TIIEIR PRICES, and STEADY IN THEIR BUSINESS, in despite of all the Traps put to draw them from their purposes.

THE PROFRUSTWRS of the Old SALISBURY COACHES, from the Black Horse Inn, Salisbury, the Bell and Crown Inn, Holborn, and Saracen's Head Inn, Friday- street, Cheapside, respectfully return thanks for past favours. * We have ever considered our Coaches truly Commercial; if Commerce is to be supported by fair pursuits, we claim the priority ; fair gains, with a regard to the public comfort, has been our utmost study ; we do not profess to convev small parcels for a less price than the postage of letters ; we hold out no such artifice ; we have no such commercial views as our Opponent; we wish not to injure the revenue hy pirating the Pest- office, or other Coach Masters. That the public may be in possession of the views of such a Speculator, we think it our duty to explain them : By injuring our trade, he presumes on getting our Coaches re- moved to his Inn, which he assures us is his only object fai opposition ; by reducing the carriage of parcels to ltd. he calculates on the number he shall convey, and what the porterage and b< » . king of them will amount to,— far more than the carriage. To counteract such pursuit, and to protect a trade we have a fair claim to, we pledge ourselves to the Inhabitants of Salisbury and Andover, to convey the public CHEAPER, in better carriages, and witii more expedition, than our opponent.

THE brave corps of English cavalry, which dis- embarked at Corunna, and which, from its spiendid and military appearance, was the admiration of all who beheld it, has, under the orders of Lord Paget, covered itself with glory. On the 20th inst. 400 British attacked, at Sahagan, 900 French cavalry, part of a corps of from 12 to 13,000 men, which i; in the valley of Saldanas. The English fought with such valour that they put the enemy to flight, making 2G0 prisoners, besides 30 killed, and several wounded. Ltco, Dec. 24. The latest accounts from head- quar- ters, state it to be the intention of Sir John Moore to ad- vance with all possible expedition to Burgos, with a view of getting into the rear of the wiemy. YVe are here com- pletely ignorant as well of the strength of the latter as of the tbrce destined to attack him. Every confidence is, however, justly placed in the acknowledged taleids of the British General. CORONA, Dee. 29. We look with much mixed anxiety to the next accounts from the army, as from its approach- ing vicinity to the enemy, a battle may soon be expected to take place. The whole force under Sir John Moore consists of 4b', 000, of which 10,000 are Spanish, detached from the army of the Marquis de la Romana, at least such is the report of the day. Our troops are represented as being in the highest spirits, and desirous of'meeting the entfmy. The 7th dragxoiis had had milch skirmishing with the French cavalry, and in one affair defeated 1) 00, of which tlufv made 300 prisoners. Our loss was trifling. Lettevs from Gijou of the 18th inst. state, that the Trench find no more than 2;"> 0 troops in Santander, and as General lialuibinos was ad^ ieiiig with 5000 men, it was expected the enemy would evacuate the place. LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6. Spanish Papers to the .' JOth ult. were received ( his morning. The principal articles they contain are given above. Government have received acco. nnts from Spain by the Diana, which left Corurma on the SCHh'ult. It was then supposed, though not officially known, that Sir J. Moore, Sir D. Baird, and the Marquis de Ro* mana, whose forces had joined, were very near those under Marshal Soult.— Wc may therefore hourly ex- pect intelligence of a sanguinary battle— of the issue we have no doubt, even were the French Superior in numbers, which is not believed to. be the case in that part of Spain. French Papers, containing the 17th, ISth, and lgth Bulletins of the French Army in Spain, were received this . morning. They were s. ent over in the same manner as the former. Annexed to the Bulletins are several Imperial Decrees and intercepted correspondence. One decree, dated Dec. 4, grants a general Pardon to all except a few persons. By another decree, of the same date, the Members of the Council of Castile are branded as Cowards, unworthy of being Magistrates of a brave Nation, and are therefore dismissed. The Inquisition is abolished— and the number of Convents reduced to one- third. Feudal rights are also abolished. The whole closes with a Proclamation, signed by Bonaparte on the 7th of December. In it lie says, " I shall soon drive the English from the Peninsula." And he • tmcludes with this remarkable expression:— " But if all inv efforts be useless, and you do not merit my contidenee, it wiil only remain for me to treat you as conquered Provinces, and TO N. ACE MY BROTHER ON ANOTHER. THRONE— I UILI. THEN PLACE THE CROWN OI SPAIN ON MY OWN HEAD, and I will cause it to be respected by the wicked, for GOD has given me strength and inclina- tion to surmount all obstacles." " The 17th bulletin, dated . Madrid, T) ec. 10, mentions the review of different corps by the Emperor Napoleon, and has some were remarks on the Colonel and Major of the regiments^' Hesse l> nrit, s » i*, w * . ulr, tliatthe Duke of Is- tria had scoured the whole road from Saragos^ a and Valan- eean, iynd taken 500 prisoners ; that " the enemy's army," beaten at Tudela, was reduced to b' 000 men ; that on the Bth, at midnight, the Dake of Istria attacked, at Santa Cruz, a corps which covered the flight of the enemy's army, . which corps was closely pursued, a thousand pri- soners takt li, anil the corps at length forced to disperse in the mountains of Cuenca. The 18th bulletin, dated Madrid, Dec. 12, contains little besides abuse of the members of the Central Junta of Spain. It asserts that Lorenzo Calvo, a grocer of Sara- gossn, and a man named Tilly, the younger brother of one tluznian, who acted a Conspicuous part in Paris under liol> ipierre, dictate all the proceedings of the Junta, and that the Count. Florida Btanca possesses no authority. It further asserts that the, hatred of the people of Spain is now directed against the English. " The IStti bulletin, dated Madrid, Dec. 13, says, " Ra^ as surrendered on flu; Gth by capitulation. Two thousand men have been made prisoners. A considerable quantity of artillery was found ill the place. Six English ships of the line, whieh were at anchor in the harbour, were not sufficient to carry away the garrison." It then relates some more of the Emperor's reviews; states that the breaking up of the Spanish troops is observed on every side; and ends with another tirade against the Junta, as- serting that Florida Blanca is now ashamed of the dishonor be has brought upon his old age. The Duke of York has published, that *' his Ma- jesty acquiesces altogether in the decision of the Board of Inquiry, that no further military proceeding is necessary— that thougU the Report maybe in some respects liable to objection, as no one will dispute the zeal and firmness attributed to the General Officers whose conduct was under the consideration of the Board, or wish for a vindictive animadvc. r-. iou upon those whose conduct has Iteen unani- mously declared, by the best judges, to be not only inno- cent, but praise- worthy." This acquiescence in the Board's decision, after the just reasons which the Duke had given for wishing the Board to re- consider the principal points originally submitted to it, has excited much astonishment. Letters fiom Lisbon, of the date of the 21st tilt, mention, that the transports containing the* 14th Liy'it Draeoons, were safely arrived in theTagus. Strangj rumours have been afloat for the last four days, 4) f tlie Spaniards having risen on the French, massa- * .';! mai. y thousands of tlicni, and driven the remainder from the city. One account says that 35,000 Frenchmen fell by the- knives of thy Spaniards ;• another magnifies the number slain to 50,000. These accounts rest on the au- thority of statements brought by the Encounter gun brig', arrived at Plymouth from Vigo. They are very little cre- dited in the first political qifeles. They write from Barbadees, that an expedition wasfittini out at that place, but its destination was un- known ; it was not supposed to be intefuled against Marti- nique, where it had been ascertained, that in defiance of the embargo ill America, the island had been amply pro- vided with every article of provision, of which at one time it stood so dreadfully in need. His Majesty's brig Carnation, of 18 guns, was lost, after a severe action, in which she accidentally ran a « hufe uuder the guns of some batteries at Martinique, when she was taken possession of by her enemy Le Palineure, of 18 guns, which has since been taken by hi; Majesty's ship Circe, and carried into Antigua. Every Officer oo board the Carna- tion was killed. His Majesty's brig Maria has been captured by a. French ship of 22 guns and 4G0 men, by whom she was decoyed alongside, when he poured a broadside into her, and at once killed 47 men and every Officer oil board— only seven of her iVhole drew surviving on her arrival at Guadeloupe. His Majesty's ship I'otnpee has captured and carried iifto Baitjadocs the i'rench Imperial brig of war Pylades, of 12 guns and 105 men. k His Majesty's brig Superieor has captured and sent into Barbailoes the French schooner Polly, from Martinique to Bourdeaux, with a valuable cargo of produce. His Majesty's ship Bclette has captured and carried into St. Yiucent the French ship l- fi Deucalien, from Rocbelle, ivtfh a valuable cargo of brandy, dry goods, & « . The notorious three- masted schooner Le Mouche, of one gun, 011 a traverse, and O'O men, was captured oil the i'ith ult. by bis Majesty's ship Grenada, off Trinidad. The Majestic transport has been burnt down to the water's edge iu Csxiisle Bay/ llarbadoe!,— Three men pei tolled. Wilh the large reinforcements now going out, the British troops in Spain Hill amount to the formidable number of 70,000. Lord Collingwood' is appointed Major- General of Marines. Ilis own merit and services have obtained the appointment, without application. The Emperor of Persia has refused to receive Gen. Malcolm, who was sent on a mission to his Court by the British Government in India This unwelcome intelligence conies by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, to which settlement it was brought by the Minerva brig, which sailed from Ceylon on the 6th of September. Government have it in contemplation to send an Embassy to Abyssinia; and Mr. Salte, a gentleman who accompanied Lord Valfentia in his travels, is said to have been appointed to this singular mission. The object iu view is to establish commercial relations with this African kingdom ; and, if we are to judge of the. expectations formed on this subject, from the number and value of the presents, which are destined to prepare the way for the new commercial alliance, very important and extensive advantages seem to be anticipated from the Embassy. DROBY- LANB THEATRE.— A new' comedy, called Man and Wife, or Mor- e Secrets than one, was performed last night at this theatre. It is said to have been written by Mr. Arnold, son of the late Dr. Arnold. The principal incidents are borrowed from Dr.. Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield ; but they are Well adapted to stage representa- tion, and the dialogue of the piepe being generally spirited and lively, it was very favourably received. Sportsmen in the coursing line universally complain of the fatality of tile. distemper, at this time amongst their greyhounds; several Gentlemen have lost three- fourths of their kennel, the greatest part of which have died with, their insides totally rotten. A few days since, a hare being* pursued by a dog, in the parish of Ruardean, Gloucestershire, the sport attracted the attention of Ann Jones, a pauper, in the f) 9th year of her age I who followed the chase, and, hearing the hare cry, she ran in upon the dog-, beat him off his prey, and bore poor puss off in triumph! A fatal accident occurred on Monday night last to Mrs. Buchan, the widow- ot' a mercantile gentleman,, at her house in Marsh- place, New- road, occasioned by her clothes taking fire. The Lady had returned home from a visit at twelve o'clock at night, and soon alter she had retired to her bed- room five, her maid- servant was alarmed by her shrieks, and, on her entering the room, Mrs. 1}. appeared enveloped in flames. The servant, in her state of alarm, was unable to afford immediate relief, but she hasted to, get other assistance, and in Lhe interim the unfortunate lady was so burnt that she died on Tuesday. She bad on a cambric dress, which was consumed to tinder. CORN- EXCHAVGE, Jan. 6.

" f 742 PELICAN OFFICE, For INSURANCE on LIVES and granting ANNUITIES. THIS Oftice was established in Lombard- street, London, In the year 1797, by a numerous and respect- able Proprietary; and the Board of Directors, with confidence, arising from the increased prosperity and permanency of the establishment, as well as from the experience of its useful- ness and benefit to the public, think it due to those who may be still unacquainted with the importance and. advantages 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 consequcnce to all who hold estates for life, situations and offices, civil, ecclesiastical, or professional; to officers in the army and navy, ( tec. 4 as, by payment of an annual premium, the party insured is enabled to provide for Wife, children, orothers, whose future welfare he may wish in vain, by other means, to promote. It affords a permanent ultimate security to those who advance money upon annuities or otherwice, It renders leases, determipabla on one or mere lives, nearly equal in value to freehold estates, as an insurance to the amount of the fine, payable, on the demise of a partjrtiominated in such leases, will produce, the sum required for renewal. It is a cheering refuge to parties engaged in extensive and speculative undertakings; it affords to persons in trade the certain means of indemnification against a bid or doubtful debt; in short, Life Insurance, established in policy, sanctioned by government, and con- firmed by the test of experience, is become, to almost every situation of human life, a measure equally important, usef ul, 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- vizes, Wm.

Several Gentlemen that were bald have declared, after using the Russia Oil regularly for three months, the bald places became nearly covered with hair. Ladies and GentlOmen ' going to watering places ought not to neglect to use the Russia Oil, as it prevents the general case of the water occasioning the hair to fall off or becomc shaded: also Gentlemen should not omit applying it to the Whiskers, to prevent them turning grey, which is too gene- rally experienced on account of the constant w. ttlng they re- ceive from shaving; this case is clearly proved, as the whis- kers mostly change colour sooner than the hair on the head.

" On the coast towards Genoa the enemy has been equally annoyed by the Kent and Wizard. Those ships h ive bad tk* t - t itioij sume time to prevent the French ship; -.." i , g from Genoa, and have almost entirely stopped the only trade the eneuiy had, which is in very small Vessels." During their cruize there they have tafcen and destroyed twenty- three of those coasters." Rear- Admiral the Hon. Sir A. Cochrane has transmitted information that Capt. Pigot, of his Majesty's ship Circe, has eaptured the French corvette Paliiieur, the last of the two which were so gallantly beaten by his Majesty's sloop Goree, commanded by Capt. Spear, the other having been betore broughtin by the Pompee. [ Sir A.

By the Diana, which broughr the last Spanish papers, Government received official accounts that the armies tinder Generals Moore, Baird, and Romana had effected a junction; and that this formidable force had nearly approached the,, aruir of Marshal Soult, which is perhaps equally formidable in present num- bers, and can much more readily obtain reinforce- ments. Letters from Barbadoes of the 2Rth of October, say the yellow fever rages there with great violence. Many persons have fallen victims to it. Not less than twenty surgeons, or assistant surgeons, in bis Majesty's service, have died in a short time of this dreadful disorder. The Captains of the Navy, finding their allowance to- tally inadequate to their rank, are about to petition for an increase of pay. The Lieutenants ( a more numerous, not less meritorious though tnore neglected class of Officers) have already framed a memorial on the- same subject, which will in a few days be presented to the Lords of^ he Admi- ralty. The Memorial, we are told, strongly urges the hardships which many of the memorialists endure having boys, who had seen little service, promoted over their heads, whilst they have grown grey in po session of the r present rank, and have shed- their blood in their cou ttry's cause, unnoticed and unrequited. The OPERA- HOCSC; was opened la-. t. night for the season, w'th a n w comic opera, the music of which was much admitted; but the chief novelty was the first appearance in this cott try of Signora Colliui, who has a powt rful, clear, tine- toiwd voice, with great taste and brilliancy of exetu- ti- m.

Several gentlemen got between the combatants, and the disgraceful scene was ended by the Co:. s! abJcs'* of the place handing out the parties.

The followirg daring robbery was committed on Wed- nesday evening, between the Old Bridge at Bath, and the turnpike- house oil the Bristol road:— A young man named Hitching!!, returning from Bristol to Devizes, got out of the coach at the said turnpike- house, having been pre- viously acquainted with Simmons, the keeper of the ;; at. e. He spent the afternoon there, in company with William Few and James Nichols. At six o'elock, Hitchings quitted WINCHESTER ASSEMBLY.

Salisbury- and Winchester Journal,, from Mr. Herbert, expressive of his sentiments in consequence of the result of the late Election for [ he County ; lest an ol .. rvation contained in that islvertisemeiit should possibly have had any reference to myself upon tly. occasion, and tend, unrefuted, to deceive or mislead, I feci called upon to say a few words upon it, that neither Mr. Herbert nor any of iiis supporters may corf- tinue to labour under any mistake that 1 CIM clear up. Mr. Herbert says—" ! t is most pleasant to my feelings, that some who were formerly hostile to my'prttinsions, should have spontaneously tendered tnetr support." Upon the approach of the late Election, 1 met a friend of mine, in the interest . of Mr. Herbert, who told me, that, " concluding from tri tenor ot a letter uf. mine upon the subject of the Portugal Con- vention, that I must be come quite round in my political sen- timents; lie had taken the opportunity ot immediately writing to mc, strongly to solicit irA interest in Mr. Herbert's favour at the ensuing El'ec'jiii." 1 soon undeceived my friend, ob- serving that, after so long an acquaintance, I could not but wonder that he should know so little of me, as to " conclude that, because I had, in common with the rest of the nation, expressed my mortification at the Portugal Convention, that, ' therefore, I ' must be come quite round 111 my political senti- ments."— To the same- erroneous conclusion, likewise, I felt indebted for a letter, in a few days after, from Mr. Herbert himself^" soliciting my support at the approaching Election" — an honour 1 hat! never had done me at either of the two former Elections. Upon ttie same erroneous conclusion ( as was acknowledged' , 1 was mast cordially invited antl pressed to dine with Mr. Herbert's party on the day of the Election, by one of his leading supporters. When, therefore, in addi- tion to these concurring circumstances, Mr. Herbert informs the county " that sonic who were formerly hostile to his pre- tensions, have spontaneously tendered their support," I think it but fair, both to Mr. Herbert and myself, that my name should not hereafter, by mistake, appear in a List peradven- ture of one of the virtuous Minorities which have so often issued from " All the Talents," to gratify the public with a display of all their virtue;" feeling myself totally unworthy so distinguished an honour, much less to rank with those chosenfu ( those very chosen few, I suspect), v.* ho are sup- posed to have become so enlightened as to perceive, upon this occasion, the superior pretensions and the superior claims of Mr.' Herbert to trie suffrages of the county; which pretensions, and which cliir. -, I profess myself so unenlightened, that 1 cannot for the life ot me discover. When Mr. Herbert re- in rks " that all the influence of Government was armed against him," he cannot be surprised, nor should he be hurt at that, as ha has so often asserted it, and es[> ecially as he knows full well, from his own experience, when be, as he justly observes, " once had the honour of Calling the Free- holders his Couititu n's," that the Government of " All the Talents" did nj'. disdain to avail itself pretty largely of the exertion of the same influence, and for the same f « ji « rn, perhaps, that he noK assigns, because " the" ( then) " Minis- '' ters could not t { crate such Freediftr.:" but when he pro- ceeds to state, the armament o/ fbat influence " w s in favour of a Gcu'. i.- man not eligible to represent the county," 1 cannot hut th. n , that Gentleman, from his political princi- ples, quite as eligible, and from , his ' local qualifications a-: 1 i II,-.- pr-.- t,-] ' ijjtis, a ht'y more eligible than ftimSeir: his eligibility, i latter • in pwiit ot parliaihintary form., remaining yet to be decided ; therefore'scarce quite decent, in him, of all men, to ei. Lavour $ 0 prejudge and decide, while he is awaiting the result of his cr n L. rib! e Petition to Parliament, to sit in judgment on their respective pretensions. I cannot but congratulate myself that that 1 did not te tenner my spontaneous" or give my solicited support to him, as 1 must have felt greatly mortified that my vote and interest should have been thrown away upon a can- didate who ( as he triumphantly observes of Sir John Pollen) " felt himself unable to cope with his opponent, and declined the contest;" and who, instead of urging, as 011 former occa- sions,- his birth political aiid family pretensions, was on this occasion satisfied to come into Parliament in spite of the sense of the county of his ineligibility; and instead of drawing, as heretofore, in glowing perspective, the day of his eventual election .15 the proudest day of his life, submitted— oil! la- mentable falling 08'!— to. rest his snccess on the possible par- liamentary ineligibility of his opponent; and thus to gain his election, and to put this proudest day of his lite into his pocket, as the sccond- bc. t horse wins at a country race by proving the winner to have run on the wrong side the post 1 ( n tiie motive asi. gncd by Mr. Herbert ftn. Sir John Pollen's " declining the contest, being unable to cope with him as his opponent," the Hon. Gentleman is somewhat mistaken: it arose, posrblv, from his feeling that Mr. Heathcote stood in no u-.-"- i of his assistance, and sufficiently secure from the effects of his petition to render it quite superfluous to cope with him. In one sentiment 1 agree with Mr. Herbert'; 1 likewise hail :' thou:.'": i not on his being seated in Parliament, as he diffi- dently docs') the dawn of better days in this- county. The y.' Vohcitf i assurances" which he say s he has. received from the Fr. ihol'. lers connected - with the Dock- yard, who would not resign their mental independence, " though fearrassed 1 n 1 persecuted by tile agents of Government," is a sentiment and a sent nee that runs in my head 1 remember to have seen upon a foitner occa-^ on, and which I then thought genuine, when " All the Talents" formed the Government, whose agents, sure enough, « • harrassed and persecuted the Free- holders connected with the Dock- yard." What Mr. Herbert says respecting the pledge demanded of him on the nomination day, I was so unfortunate as not to be present to htar him so ably and so consistently decline. Not only " All the Talents," but any, and every part of them, are ready enough to demand pledges of others, however exalted th- ir situation ; but by no means so, to enter into any them- selves, which may bind their unshackled freedom, as inde- pendent and staunch Whigs. But I hope I'shall never live to see the day, when Mr. Herbert's being " debarred taking any share, in the Administration of Public Affairs" will be subver- sive of the Constitution, ahtl fatal ( as he modestly apprehentls) to the " Liberties of the Country." It is a distinguishing^ rait of the sanguine, disposition and of the reasonable expectations of " All the Talents," that should any individual condemn or even disapprove of any measure or any men composing the present Ministry, that, therefore, he must of course, as thev express it, " come quite round m his political sentiments,'' and resigning eveiy good opinion of every measure, and of bury man composing the Ministry, throw himself, without hesitation, or scarce a choice, into the fraternal embrace of " AH, the . said Talents," and adopting all a, nd every measure and sentiment of their s as his future political faith, and his future political practice, abandon himself, without reserve, to go all lengths, hand in hand with the Illuminati. And there certainly must be something singularly dull or unac- countably perverse in my disposition, that I cannot bring my- self wholly and entirely to subscribe to the indispensable ne- cessity of that alternative. Whenever, in the rashness of resolve, I can, I have always thought it a duty to myself to recollect the experimental caution given us tor our security and guidance.
