Yesterday's letters from Dublin state, that the popu- lar tumult about the arrest of the Catholic Delegates was fast subsiding, the people being satisfied that the constitutional propriety of the measure should be brought before the Courts of Law in Ireland for pre- vious investigation, from whence an appeal will lie to the House of Peers in England. Yesterday arrived New York papers to the 20th, and Boston to the 23d ult. They are full of contradictory statements respecting Mr. Foster's mission, and the political relations of the United States with this country and with France. Some of these state the negociation with Mr. Foster to be broken off, while others assort that it is proceeding with every prospect ofa successful lesult. These papers confirm the accounts before received of the success of the Buenos Ayres troops against Monte Video. The party of the Viceroy had been driven within the walls of that town, which was closely besieged, and would probably soon surrender.

" LONDdNT" ™ 555""" WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21. Last night's Gazette announces the Prorogation of Parliament to the 4th of October; and also, tbe ap- pointment of the Duke of Devonshire to the Lord Lieutenancy of the county of Derby.— It also states, that two letters have beeu received by Mr. Cummins, of Leeds, the master of the youug woman, for violating of whom Hodgson was capitally convicted at the last York Assizes, threatening to take away the life of Mr. C. if Hodgson suffers the penalty the law dictates for his crime.— We sincerely wish the writer may be dis- covered, and suffer the punishment due to his atrocious couduct.— Hodgson has been respited till the 23d of November. The Prince Regent has been pleased to direct, " by an order in Council, lhat Lord W. Fitzroy, who bad been dismissed from the command of the Macedonia, at Lisbon, and struck off the list of the Royal Navy, by sentence of a Court Martial, shall be restored to his former rank of Post Captain. The King.— We learn that within the last seven days his Majesty has wasted more than during any former period of his malady. He is, indeed, in a state of constant coercion ; or, should it be relaxed, he avails himself of his liberty to proceed to acts of personal violence. Within the last fortnight his person is so much altered, that he looks many years older. It is now ascertained, that the violence of bis agony proceeds principally from the pressure of water ou the brain; for, when be stoops, he experiences the most violent pain, from which be is never free except when sup- ported in an erect posture. What afflictiugly aggravates the calamity is, the circumstance of his Majesty being perfectly unconscious as to the individuals who are in attendance on him ; and, in short, be has now never for a momcnl a lucid interval. All hopes, not only of his intellectual recovery, but of any return of physical strength, may now, it is greatly apprehended, be finally relinquished, even by those who are most zealously aud most affectionately anxious for any favourable change. His Majesty is now said to have become possessed of au excessive but false appetite, which unhappily is only symptomatic of the greater violence of the disease.— We are sorry to state lhat. superadded to his other afflictions, his Majesty ou Tuesday experienced very great inconvenience from repeated attacks of a most violent cough, a spasmodic affection, which sometimes accompanies the last stage of a disorder. expectation of this movement lhat several ofthe French garrisons in the direction he may be likely to take i appear lo be preparing to retire, and that an'alarm has spread, which seems even to have reached Aranguez. The French Governor of that place has quitted it with his family for Madrid. We wish General Blake's activity and success may justify all this apprehension. He has felt the fault of feeling a very unnecessary jealousy of the English, or rather, perhaps, some degree of personal rivalship with their Commanders; but we believe him to be, notwithstanding this failing, both an able Commsnder, and a zealous, well- affecled Spaniard. The army of the centre, when his reinforce- ments shall have joined it, will amount to at leant 20,000 men, and the troops he carries with him are experienced soldiers from the battle of Albuera. The other articles in these papers describe the desultory warfare carried on by the Guerillas against tlie French. n Intelligence has reached the Admiralty of the n- ifo arrival of tbe Jamaica Fleet, under convoy of the Pelorus sloop. Lieut. General Sir Stapleton Cotton, and Gen. Slade it is said, are expected home from Portugal. The Duke of Sussex is now declared out of danger Dr. Ainslie was sailed in on the sudden aud dangerous" attack on Sunday evening at Kensington Palace, and afterwards Sir H. Halford was sent bv her Majesty express from Windsor to visit his Royal Highness. Some more French papers have arrived. The on'y article ot any importance in them is a continuation of the periodical Military Report from the armies in Spain It informs us ot the dispersion of the corps of the Spanish Chieftain Mina, afler several unsuccessful affairs with the- enemy. To accomplish this object the combined operation of three strong columns of troops was found necessary.

It is ascertained tiuit 12 sail ot vessels, including two deckers, sloops, bri « s & c. have proceeded up that river, from the situation 111 which they had previously been discovered. Whe- ther this movement has takeu place for the purpose of inducing our ships to relax in their vigilance is not known. A letter of the 13th of July, from Washington, says, " Mr. Foster has taken a house iu my neighbourhood for 12 months certain, with privilege for holding i' for five years.

' A decree of the Cortes has been adopted, after Ion" and secret discussion, on the 19th of June, upon au offer ol mediation of the British Government with the American Provinces. } t consists of nine articles. The j mediation, it is said, is accepted, on coudition that an i acknowledgement of the Sovereignty of the Cortes be the basis of the tieaty. and that the British Government j should, on the failure of the negociation, suspend all ; intercourse with the refractory provinces, and assist iu , leducing them lo subjection. | The small- pox has committed great ravages within the last few months in Hungary, where the on posers of vaccination are numerous. An idea of the flourishing state of the coal trade at Whitehaven may be formed from the circumstance of not less than 19,661 waggons of coals having beeu shipped off from the Earl of Lonsdale's works in six weeks, viz. between the Ist of July and 10th of August instant, being an average of 3277 weekly. At Warwick assizes, a man of the" name of Wilkes was tried for bigamy. This fellow appeared to be a wholesale dealer, and to have become bankrupt from having laid in loo great a stock . of an unmarketable commodity ( second baud wives). He was married to four women, three of whom were in the witness's box at one time. The tirst was in i796, whom he aban- doned with two children; the second in 1804, who left him on account of ill usage; the third iu 1806, who also left him in three weeks, because she heard lie was married; the fourth he married seven weeks a°- o, and she was a very inexperiented girl. Tbe Judge was highly indignant at the consummate villainy of the offender—" In the course of my experience," said his Lordship, " I have not met with so gross and sys tematic violation of decency, of public morals, and of the law ; and that it may be known in the town of Birmingham, 1 conceive, lhat 1 should uot fulfil my duty, if I did not lay upiiu you the heaviest putiish- ment the law has plaaed in my iiauda." gence of the operations of the French armies in the Peninsula. The fortifications of Montserrat were car- ried by assault, after a very slight resistance, ou the 22d ult. Tbe Spanish Commander, with some ol his Offi- cers, and a part of the troops, effected their escape.— The Gallician army which, by a former account had retired from Astorga previous to the 10th of July, is now said to have fallen back on tbe 14th, in conse- quence of a reconnoisance by Gen. Bonnet; but we know by the Corunna Journals, that the head- quarters of Santocildes were still there on the 15th. If we are to believe the Moniteur, the inhabitants of Cuenca are entirely Frenchified, and have applied for arms to de- fend themselves against the brigands. Wc are not, however, told that the French have placed such confi- dence in the zeal of these new converts, as to gratify their wishes. Tbe handful of men lost by Blake, iu bis attempt upon Niebla, is magnified lo 300, and he is stated to have lost 2000 by desertion. By way of in- troduction lo this narrative, we are treated with an accounl, on the pretended authority of intercepted dispatches, of what the Spanish Generals proposed to Lord Wellington, upon the advance of Soult and Mar- mont; and the successes obtained by the enemy in various parts of Spain, are represented as the com- pletion of their predictions in the event of his acting as he has done, upon the defensive. The French Marshals are certainly not a little mortified, that he did not regulate his operations by the advico which they alledge bad been given to him. They might then have had an opportunity of justly representing him as that heedless and impetuous character which the Monileur repeatedly asserted he would prove himself to be, upon his assuming the command of the allied army. It was confidently predicted that he would conduct the war iu the Peninsula precisely upon the plan of his Indian campaigns. That would certainly have answered their expectations much better than the course he has pur- sued. But he has shewn theua that, as in the Ea$ t, he % LONDON. FRIDAY, AUGUST; 33.

Mate to which the tyranny an-! unprincipled ambition of Bonaparte has reduced the Gallicaji Church, or rather the Catholic Church, on the continent, that as to the people, a spirit of d s- , affection to his Government is widely spreading among them, chiefly owing lo the severity of the conscript laws, x The soldiery are also, it is said, much shaken in their attachment to him. This is accounted for by ti. e hard service and dreadful destructio » occasioned by the Spanish war. The superior officers, however, whose fortunes and whose honours depend on the stability of his power, are still faithful to his service. All semina- ries are abandoned but the military schools ; all education neglected but the art ol war. The new levies are composed of boys, and there are no veterans in France bu: the Imperial Guard. In a word, if the yoke of the Bourbons was heavy, that of Bonaparte is intolerable— if Louis XVI. chastised the French people with whips, Napoleon tortures them with scorpions, and the most dark - and gloomy military despotism governs that fir. e but unfortunate country. The disputes in America, that is, among tlie Mem- bers of the American Government, are very warm. Mr. Madison had, it . is known, in the reply to Mr. Smith's pamphlet, accused that gentleman of incapacity for his situation, and alledged such incapacity as the reason for his dismissal. To this Mr. Smith replies, io effect, that not only he himself individually averred Mr. Madison to be incompetent, from the want of abilities, to perform the functions of Piesident, but that all Mr. Madison's colleagues in office were universally of the same opinion, and would avow that opinion to the President's face. TUs is calling of foul names with a vengeance. There tire proofs enough, certainly, of Mr Smith's talents in all his public writings. Those of Mr. Madison a/ e at least more obscure i there are fewer fruits of tbem whereby his countrymen, and the rest of the worUl, may be enabled to judge of their exlent. The heat of the weather in June, at New York, in America, was more intense than had been experienced for so many days together since the memory of man. Between thirty and forty persons died suddenly in that city in the course of four or five days, in consequence of drinking cold water while they were hot. The number of Insolvent Debtors discharged on Thursday from the prison of Ludgate, the 2 Compters, and tbe Fleet, exceeds 200. On Wednesday morning last, a tyger, belonging to a person who exhibits wild beasts at the ( Is lie rent fairs, and whose caravan v. as put up at the Swan Inn, Holborn Bridge, previous to .. its going to Peckham fair, got out by breaking some of the bars of his cage, and escaped into the yard, where he . jumped with his fore paws on the shoulders of one of the porters at work. Fortunately the keeper was in the yard. He desired the man not to bo alarmed, ? nd with a small stick in his hand, commanded the tyger to lie down, which he immediately did. A young hen, being frightened, flew into the animal's cage, when he followed, and was properly secured without doing any injury. Lord Barnard, eldest son qf the F. ail of Darlington, has arrived in the city of Durham, and, we understand, declared himself a Candidate for the County, in case of a General Election.

Two large pilchard boats, laden with fish, foundered ill Mount's Bay, on Sunday last. The fish and boats vere totally lost— providentially the people w? re saved. An enormous shoal of pilchards was enclosed in the Mount's Sean, in Mount's Bay, on Friday last; but unfortunately the Sean broke, and the fish, amounting, it is supposed, to 1000 hogsheads, all escapcd. VETERAN SOI. BIKR.— It is worthy of remark, that there is now living in the village of Delnies, in the parish of Nairn, Scotland, in the full possession of all his faculties, a veteran r. amed John Reid, who may perhaps he reckoned the oldest soldier in Great Britain, he having nearly completed bis hundred! h year, He entered ibe 2d battalion of the Scots I » yals upwards of SO vears .- go, and lought at the battles of Dettingm, Vonlenot, Walls, and Culloden. He served also tlnongh the whole of tbe American war, and was present at the sieges of Quebec and Ticpnderago, where he was severely wounded by a musket ball, which entered his thiph, and wt. jch it was found impossible lo extract. This ball he means to bequeath as a legacy to one of his sens, of whom he has several, all begotten in lawful wedlock, although he m tried at the age of " 70, and all of whom aie serving their ccuntry Such has been the uniform regularity. of this Highland veteran's mode of living, that he has only been twice van- quished in tbe course of bis long life by his spirituous foe, v z. at the period of his enlistment, and when the news of his Majesty's coronation errived at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, where tbe Royals then lay. He ts, however, very cheerful, ond bas an uncommonly retentive memory, and; with great good sense, joined tn no small portion of wit, " all tiie live long day he talks of war." A striking likeness has been lately taken of this venerable Highlander, by Mr. M'Leod, of the Royal Academy of Inverness, which is to appear at the ensuing exhibition of painting* at Somerset House, and which, we understand, Mr. M'Leod intends lo present to Field Marshal his Koyal Highness the Uuke of Kent, who is now Col. of that distinguished regiment, the Royals, in which this veteran se. ted tipwaids of 40 years.

The Gazette likewise contains an Order in Council for the further prorogation of Parliament from the 23d inst. to Friday, the 4th of October: and a Letter from Captain Bourchier, of tbe Kawke sloop, detailing the particulars of bis attack, near Cape Barfleur, upon a French convoy of 44 merchant vessels, under tbe protection of three national brigs, from 12 to 16 guns each, and two luggers from 8 to 10 guns; in which very unequal contest the Hawke gallantly captured one armed brig and three merchantmen, and drove 011 shore one armed brig, the two luggers, and 12 sail of merchant vessels : in this heroic attack the British had only one man killed and four wounded. SATURDAY, AUGUST 24. The King,— The following Bulletins have been published since our last:— " Aug. 20. The King is not better this morning ; his Majesty has passed another sleepless night— Aug. 21. His Majesty has slept throughout ( be night, and appears refreshed this morning.— Aug. 22. There is 110 variation in bis Majesty's symptoms since yesterday— Aug. 23. His Majesty is to- day nearly as he was yesterday Aug. 24. There i's no change 111 his Majesty's symptoms." Two mails have arrived from Lisbon, the last of them of the date of the 6II1 inst. Altho' they bring no news of military rencontres, they relate some more active operations than we had expected. The whole ofthe British army, except Gen. Hill's corps; has left the Alentejo, marching to the northward. On the 4th head- quarters were at Castel Branco, within about 60 miles of Almeida. The greater part of the French army is moving in a parallel direction, under Mar- mou't'j while Soult, with another part, is marching upon Cordova. The northern frontier of Portugal is, therefore, likely to become again the scene of active hostilities, as far at least as the British are concerned ; a change, which may be held favourable, with reference not only to general considerations of humanity, but to the interests of the British, in particular, whose posi- tions were lately more unwholesome than those of the enemy. French Papers lo the 18th have also arrived, but they contain no intelligence of importance A private letter, however, which is dated the 1 G. h, communicates some interesting particulars. The Ecclesiastical Council is said to have broken up, alter determining every thing agreeably to the wishes of Bonaparte. If the resolutions of the Council be complied with by the Pope, be will have to swear allegiance to the French Ruler, and to fill up all the vacant Bishopricks upon iiis nomination. A letter had been received at Paris from Marshal Macdonald, in which he stated that he expected the fortress of Figueras to surrender about the end of the present month. A11 expectation of a northern war appears still to prevail in Paris. The Moniteur of the 19th contains the following important declaration made by Bonapaite, in reply to an address from a Deputation ofthe Ionian Isles: " 1 will never abandon tbe islands which tbe superiority of the enemy by sea has placed in their power. In India, in America, in the Mediterranean, everything tbat is and has been French shall always he so. Conquered by the enemy, by lilt vicissitudes of war, tliey shall return into the empire by the other events of the w ar, or by the stipulations of peace. 1 should always consider it as au eternal blot upon my reign, if I ever sauctiontd the abandonment of a single Frenchman." From the River Plata intelligence has been received, by the Anna Maria, that Monte Viedo has surrendered to the troops from Buenos Ay res and their confederates, oa the 16th of June. El 10 and his principal adherents ara supposed to have effected their escape. An American gentleman, passenger in the New Galen, frorn Boston, arrived in London last night, brings the following intelligence:— Letters had been received in Boston from Washington, of the 23d ult. by which it was understood Mr. Foster's negociation was going 011 favourably; the affair of the Little Beit was generally reprobated in America, and every reparation would be made to this country on that account. The dispute betwixt the President ( Madison) and the Ex- Secretary Smith, had developed such a scene, that it was fully ex- pected the American executive would be upset upon the meeting of Congress, and the President impeached; lhat people's eyes were now opened, and those who had been heretofore the greatest enemies to England were now much changed ; that in fhe Southern States, where this animosity prevailed the most ( particularly in Vir- ginia) the members to the new Congress retuined were three fourths federalists. Mr. Foster had stopped llie sailing of the Prince Ernest packet from New York 011 account of his dispatches; Ihe packet had not sailed 011 the 35th ult. The Constellation, United States frigate, with Mr. Joel Barlow 011 board, may be expected in France about a week from this time ; she has 240,000 dollars 011 board, to pay the interest to the holders of American stock, aud hot a million, as a loan to France, as has been represented here. By the Constitution, the meetiag of Congress is not till the month of December, but it was expected the President would be obliged to call, them together earlier, to endeavour to justify his conduct. New York papers have arrived to the 27th ultimo. They , contain an account of a very brilliant action, fought on the American coast, inwliic. il the superiority of British naval skill and courage has been signally manifested. It was a combat between the Ataiaute sloop of war, commanded by Captain Hic'iey, and the French frigate Entrepcnante, of 32 guns, and it took place on the 20th of July. The action lasted two | hours and a half, alter which the French frigate struck. The Atalante had only 16 guns, though the American papers, by mistake, state her force at 24 ; but besides this diflerence in the number of guns, she was deficient in her complement of men. The following is the account of th. s gallant affair given in the New York papers of the 22ti July:—" Captain Bulkley, arrived here last evening, informs, lhat on Saturday last, off llie Capes of the Delaware,- 40 miles from the land, lie witnessed an engagement between two ships of war, which continued from four till half past six p. 111. when one of the ships struck. An officer from one of them afterwards came 011 board Captain B.' s schooner, the Ann Eliza, who proved lo be an officer from the British sloop of war Ataiaute, Captain Hickcy, who informed that the ship that had just struck to the Alalante was the French frigate Entrepenaute, of 32 guns, bound from Brest to New York, with dis- patches aud some cargo. The Atalanie had one man killed and four wounded. The Entrepenante had thirty killed and wounded. The Ataiaute mounts 24 guns. Captain Bulkley did not learn how long the French ship had been out, or what became of the dispatches." An official account of this action has reached the Ad- miralty. VVe understand it was brought by the Little Belt, which has arrived at Pcrtsmouin from Halifax. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who was fast recovering from his li'e indisposition, we are sorry to state, had a refit se 011 Thursday, of a very alarming nature. Last night he was considered in imminent dan- ger: Dr. Ainsiie was in close attendance upon his Royal Highness, His complaintjs iu the bladder. The city of London and the Borough of Soutliviurk are expected to produce two of the severest contest* at the next election, which may be expected soon to take place.

Burdett and Mr. Scott, the brother of Lady Oxford, will shortly be reheard before tha- Court of Session in Scotland ; alter which it will probably he biou^ * before the House of Peers, for their amusement, and- fiaa! adjudication. postscript. LONDON\ Monday Night, August 26, 1811. THE KING.— The following Bulletins were received yesterday and to- day :•— " Windsor Castle, " August 25 — The King had several hours sleep in the night. His Majesty is this morning nearly as be was yesterday." " August 26.— There is 110 alteration in his Majesty to- day." . The debility and lowuess with which his Majesty is frequently afflicted, often proceed from his excessive pro- pensity to talking ; within these few days he talked near 23 hours, with little Cessation. It is also increased by fre- quent violent attacks of his malady. OnWednesday morning he took some chocolate for his breakfast, and on the same day he partook of a made dish and some mutton for his diuuer. His appetite is frequently as good as ever it was, but we regret lo mention that so faint is the prospect of his recovery, that it has been thought proper to prepare aud arrange all the ceremonials used in the proclamation of a new Sovereign; and that the principal Officers in the College of Arms, and the other departments concerned, have received notices accordingly. Advices have been received from St. Domingo, to the 61 b ult. Our Naval Commanders on the West India station have, it is said, at length been roused to a sense of the un- just conduct of Christophc, and determined 011 putting an end to his depredations 011 British commerce. In June last, several of our eroizr rs anchored off St, Gouaives, and demanded Ibe restitution of two vessels from Jamaica, which had been carried into that port, as welt as satisfac- tion for the death of a British seaman, killed by a shot from one of the batteries at Cape Francois. These demands being rejected by Christophe, measures were immediately taken for blockading his Heel at Gonaives and Ihe Cape When the Comus, which is arrived at Portsmouth, left Cadiz, on the 30th last, Admiral Legge was cruizing off Cape Spartel, with the Repul3C, Alfred, Stately, and St. A1 bail's, with a view to intercept a French squadron, which was expected to attempt to escape out of Rochfort.— A letter county received from an officer at Cadiz, states, that the French ' - hive latdvreiuforeed their army before Cadiz with 10,000 men, of whom 6,000 were Poles, aud tbat the Spaniards were more supine than ever.

TI12 surrounding country sOon after began to wear a more brilliant aspect— every house was illuminated ; in some of the windows were beautiful transparencies, which had a very pleasing effect; in one was the Arms of BrynyPys and Walton united with this motto—" Pros- perity to the Union ;" in others were wreaths of roses aud laurel, & c. Ikc. The village of Overtoil displayed many transparencies and variegated lamps; at Mr. Hughes's house was a very handsome transparency with Mrs. Price's Arms. At two o'clock, Mr. Hughes beaded the table, when upwards of 120 friends and tenants sat down lo dinner at the Bryu y Pys Arms. The Chairman gave the following toasts : Mr. and Mrs. Price— health and long life; Mrs. Price, of Cefn ; Mr. Kenyon, and family; Sir Henry and l. ady Houghton; Mr. Parker; Mr and Mrs. Glegg; with many loyal toasts. About eleven o'clock the company broke up. The utmost harmony prevailed tliro* the day. On Tuesday, fifty of the principal inhabitants met at the Bowling Green Inn, in Overtoil, lo partake of a sheep and a barrel of ale, given by Mrs. Fletcher, of Gwernbayleil, iu honour of the nuptials : and, iu short, the greatest respect and esteem have been manifested upon this joyous occasion by every class of people.— On Saturday, two sheep were roasted at Overton Bridge, and ale given : yesterday, five fat sheep were roasted, anil Mr. Pricc treats to dine, al the Bryn y Pys Arms Inn, iu Overton, 150 friends ; and to- day all his tenautry.

Soon after twelve they came on the platform, and again prayed in so earnest and loud a manner, as lo be heard by the whole of the populace, and it is to be hoped made no small degree of impression by the evident marks of their serious contrition and penitence. Each of them ad- dressed the surrounding multitude for a considerable length of time, earnestly exhorting them to take warn- ing by their unhappy and ignominious exit, not to disregard the injunction of the 4th of God mands, but to " remember the sabbath day holy,"— attributing their first wanderings from the aged 43, charged upon the oath of Jaee Hugliea, wttU having been married lo two other Vrornen since his marriage with her the sa: d Jane: ti> e prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years Irupsport- ution. The following is another fatal instarte of the melan- choly effects of leaving guns carelessly loaded :— La- i Friday afternoon a boy, about ten ytstrs old, son oT Mr. Simmonds blacksmith, of Warllirg, seeing it g'. i 1 which tii- e maid servant had j . ist before moved from th i pantry into the kitchen, took it up, anfl, unobs';- » ; « ?, proceeded with it into the garden 5 when, unfortunately, seeing his brother on hi ) retura from school, he laid the gun across a stile, and, pointing it at the devoted vic- tim, shot him through the bear:.— The defeased was a fine little boy about five years old. An al trming fire broke out at Kenscl Green, ltea-- Colnbrook, ou WedacsJay, at the mansion house ov George Uogers, Esq. which consumed the same, to- gether with buddings contiguous, to the amount o- f several thousand pounds. The fire happened in the dead cf the nights it was occasioned by some clothe* having been left to air 111 tin? laundry 1 aud soch wa » the rapidity of the flames, tb) t the whole hou e wa* consumed in less than half aa hour. A boy of the name of Grange, who slept in the garret, perished ia the conflagration.

About three months since, find- ing her health declining, she visited Bath Oil application to the faculty, bleeding was advised, an operation lier ladyship never could be prevailed 011 to submit to. How- ever, after several Consultations, she consented; her eves were covered, her arms bound, and her footman employed to hold her The instant she felt the lancet, all resolution vanished, and her screams so terrified the servant, tbat he let go his hold, and falling op the point of her elbow, whilst tbe blood was flowing most copiously, gave a sudden turn lo the current, which produced an abscess, that bafhed all medical skill, and after the must acute sufferings, deprived fashionable society of one of its most lively, fas- cinating ornaments.

We perceive w ith much pleasure the active exertions used by the several Committees to protect the fishery of the river Severn,— In addition to the conviciioii of the trio men, mentioned in our last, for fishing with illegal nets in the Severn in the neighbourhood of Tewkesbury, we learn, that a person has been con- victed in a penalty of 20s. ( and the fish seized) for offering sa'mou, out oi' season, to sale in the market of Tewkesbury.— The Worcester Committee bave di- rected two guineas each to the two persons who were active in detecting the above depredators.— At a meeting of the Committee of the Shrewsbury Severn Association, held yesterday, it was resolved to divide the river into districts, and to appoint proper persons to watch, & c.—- See Adv. tn consequence of the matriage of Francis Richard Price, Esq. above nientioued, Overton aud its vicinity became tbe scene of unitsnal festivity. Early 011 Monday morning, while favours were seen flying iu every direction, and every one was upon llie alert in making preparations to celebrate the event. About seven o'clock a fine ox was pul down to roast, after having been exhibited to the populace, by being drawn through tbe village, preceded by a band of music. About eighty of the principal iuhabilauts met 10 dine at the Bryn y Pys Anns, in Overton, to celebrate ( at their own expence) the happy event, whilst the bells rung more melodious than usual all the day; about five o'clock in tbe afternoon evei'y one was preparing to meet tbe happy pair, so tiiat iu a short time Overton was completely " deserted village"— all who could procure horses were mounted, and numbers of tbe horsemen went as far as Wrexham. At length the approach of the happy pair was annouueed by the bells at Wrexham striking up a merry peal, aud everyone was upon Ihe tip- toe of expectation. At Overton Bridge, upwards ofone thousand people assem- bled to meet them, and ou the Flintshire side they were met by thirty of Mr. Price's own workmen, dressed in white waggoners' frocks, and white ribbons round their bats, with the following inscription—^ Health and long Life to Mr. uud Mrs. Price." They were greeted by. loud and reiterated huzzas; the horseswere immediately taken from I lie car- have also left behind thein a confession of other outrages against society, and that this paper is lodged in the hands of the reverend gentleman abovemention- ed ; but for substantial reasons it is at present thought proper to withhold it from the public eye. The body of John Taylor was interred on Saturday evening in St. Mary's church- yard, oa which occasion the chaplain delivered in the church a very impressive address to a great concourse of spectators. On Saturday evening last, near seven o'clock, a man on a chesuut horse rode furiously between Shrewsbury and Hanwood, regardless of the safety of numbers re- turning on foot from market; he rode against a stout man. attached to Messrs. Marshal! & Co's manufactory, whoso strength alone saved him from injury ; aud soon after on the descent of the hill near Hauwooa, h? rode over a decent respectable woman, who was walking 011 the side path, carrying a basket; she was taken up much bruised and senseless, and wiih much difficulty conveyed home, where she now lies very ill: yet the miscreant passed on, void of humanity, and a little further rode against another man driving a cart, whom he also hurt, aud who was only saved by turning about, on hearing the noise and shrieks occasioned !> y the fall of the woman. As it is not very long since a man at no great distance on the Westbury road was found dead, and with too much reason believed mutdered ( for it is nothing less) by the same nefarious practice, a strict inquiry is making after this candidate for the gallows, whom every one must hope to hear is duly punished. Sheep.— It is proper to observe, in consequence of the late inundations, lhat if flocks are suffered to graze 011 the uplands, where grass has been brought from the flooded and stagnated low- lands to mike, such sheep, as well as those fed with the hay when made, are liable to that destructive disorder, the rot. The decision at the Surrey Assizes, in the ease of Keen against Dormay, is of great importance to the public. The journeymen miilers all round the metro- polis have struck for an increase of wages, and they chose the warmest season of the year, when flour- will not keep, for that purpose. The masters have resisted, and they have kept the mills in work by calling in com- mon labourers, who in the course of a month or two will be sufficiently expert to take the place ofthe ring- leaders in the conspiracy ; for it is always the Worst hands who are most forward in these combinations. In addition, however, to striking in a body, they re solved to bring actions under tiie Statute of Queen Elizabeth, against some of their masleis, for exercising the trade without having served an apprenticeship to it. In this attempt thev have completely failed; for iu many parts of the kingdom, gentlemen are obliged to keep a flour mill on their estates, lo accommodate their tenanls. On the 17 th inst. when the Norwich mail had pi ex- ceeded within five miles of Colchester, the coachman being much in liquor, grew sleepy, and suddenly felt between the wheel horses, when they set offat full speed; but by the exertions of Mr. H. Si. John, at the immi nent danger of his life, they were so lar stopped as to enable the guard to seize the leaders' beads, without any farther accident. The guard and Mr. St. John were left in charge of the coach by the other passengers, who went in search of the coachman, whom th^ y found on the road, upwards of half a mile behind, his head shockingly cut, bleeding profusely, and one of his legs broken. The speciilators are all on the alert, in consequence of tbe present rains; and altho' there never was a At Nottingham assizes Messrs. Crackles and Co. of Hull, brush manufacturers, brought actions agajnsfc several persons for having infringed upon their patent, obtained for the preparation of wh ilebone for the pur- pose of manufacturing it into brushes. After an atten- tive hearing, verdicts were given for tile plaintiffs, folly establishing their right to the sole manufacture of whale- bone brushes. Four prisoners received sentsnce of death at Stafford assizes, one of whom ( Thomas James, ag « l 601 is left for execution on Saturday next. AIM Jlubbert, John Harrison, & Ralph Oakes, were reprieved. A t Saiford Sessions, . John Grcenliaigh, Jobs John- son, Johu Baxter, and William Diuilop, were convicted of entering the dwelling- house of Mr. Robert Frith, a dyer al Broughlon, on the 22J Feb. last, about 11 at II ghl, making a great riot, and selling fire to a quan- tity of fetid antl combustible matter which < hey had brought with them, whereby the family of ;¥ r Frith were greatly injured. It appeared 011 the trial, that Mi>. Frith and h'. s late partner had previously become bank rupts, and that the defendants had recourse to these measures to get possession of the housj. The Court severely reprobate i the conduct of the defend- ants for such an unjustifiable outrage, and sentenced each of them to one month's imprisonment in the New Bayley, and to find sureties for their future good beha- viour for twelve months. During the assizes, Bank of England notes fhrough- outthe city of Exeter were chiefly' 111 circulat pn ; f; w or no provincial ones were seen — Th. s novelty is £ 0 bu attributed to resolutions having been formed in many places up the country, by persons of propert\, both landed and commercial, not to take any notes si'banks established since the commencement of the wat. Many gentlemen of considerable landed property, assembled from various parts of the west, at the Exeter assizes, entered into an agreement to give notice to their re- spective tenants, that Ihev wi. l receive only ba lk paper III payment of iheir Michaelmas rents.—( Hymouta Paper.)

On Monday came on before the Lord Chancellor al Lincoln's Inn Hall , the petition of Mr. M.

To the EDITOR of Ihe SALOPfAA* JOURNAL. SIK,— Mere accident, not ati improper curiosity, which it is to be feared too many 011 Such occasions ind'el- re, led me to a scene the most awful that call be imagined-." name- ly, lo witness the few solemn moments of five litibuppv convicts, who suffered the dreadful penally of the law at our gaol on Saturday last. Tbe rarity of such an event ia this town, aud be it mentioned to our credit as well ns happiness, renders it pcrliaj s more beneficial in its effects upon others than if it occurred ofieucr. Witness the Me- tropolis, where the frequency of executions, 1 liar, counter- acts Ihe salutary examples they tyere intended | o aiford, and fail to convey those permanent good impressions itiat might reasonably be expected upon those who view tt. ein : often- times alas i the uiif n lunate malefactor is left 10 1 iawretr li- ed condition, without even a tear of pity shed in his behalf ; u bile on the contrary others who might receive a check in their destructive career are engaged ia p( actic< » of theft and fraud, as are shocking ( o humanity. Very different however, 1 observed, was the conduct ofniv feliow'- spectators on Saturday. Properly impressed wilh'tl. e aw- ful scene before tliem, they observed the utmost decorum,, and seemed anxious iu solemn silence to catch evoy word from the lips of their dying admonisbers. And sniily such admonitions must have had peculiar weight— for tbev ceine- from the heart. " Who can tell whether this man is worse than myself} or if I am belter, it is to be ascribed to the grace 111 id good- ness of God !" v. as a question which the learned end pious Dr. Boerliaave put to himself whenever he liciiril of a criminal being dragged to execution. In Ibis spirit 1 viewed these poor men in the article of death, and, fur from calling their crimes lo remembrance, 1 looked on myself in the same light with them, and I found that the only difference between them and myself was that the justice ofGod had brought their sins to'light, and in mercy given mean opportunity of correcting my own. And lei every one who feels disposed to cast, the crimes of others iu thety leeth, tirst turn an eye inwe. rd on himself, mid l. e will find that he . may have been guilty of equal encnmilies gainst t he law of God, though not immediately tini. sgrciscci lis law ot man. Oue arming other feelings Villi wbicji 1 was then impressed, and for ti. e sake of which principally I offer these renijiiks, w:: « , that arising from. the s'ltaestion that these objects uf my commiseration probably owed their untimely end to the circumstance cf I heir having re- ceiver! no advantages of education— from never bavin" been taught pei hups the difference between moral good sntl evil. And this thought struck me the more forcibly on recollect-' ing, that by far the majority of those who are thus prema- turely honied to their graves, is from the poorer classes- of our fellow- beings. Tins I believe is a fact tlmt none will attempt to dispute, and a lamentable oue it is. Though at the time 1 iirn making this remark, 1 own 1 am not one of those who are advocates for a learned education fttiu"' in » discriniiaately extended to every individual. Mtcry m/ t ! shOOhl W acquainted with his bible, and of fomse tanght to read, but every one need net be taught to write. For Ut in" ask wbat would lie tbe consequence if tne Irish peasantry couid generally write ? would they not, and have they not where this lias been the case, abused it to an alarming degree by disseminating from one to another principles subversive of all government and public tran- quillity, and attacking in tbe grossest libels characters the most respectable ? But rebellion I may be told does not lurk in this country; true, but human nature is every where the same; and the unhappy troubles which have so long liarrassed Ireland ( though I am far from attributing it primarily to their having heen generally educated, a. thing by no means the case), have certainly been much heighten- ed and inflamed hy a few mean individuals w- ho have- had some advantages of education, and may reasonably be apprehended in this country. For from like causes proceed like effects.. But the question of education is one of deep political import, and as such I leave it to more competent judges to decide. 1 shall only obscive, in contradiction to some cold- heart* d, dull pfiloso/ i'tiers, who have monstrously advised the' denying of access even to the sacred oracles of God, the instruments of man's salvation, that it is our duty, and should be our unceasing delight to administer to our poor aud ignorant fellow- creatures every assistance in our poxyer, of education as well as precept, that may tend to give them a right bias, aud to diminish at- least the number of those who are daily dropping, into their graves, for want of principles to confirm theii wavering virtue, ar. d give encouragement to their proper and laudable, fee lings.

ONE clear night in autumn, when Cynthia^ blight vest O'er the surge heaving waters ofShannoB gleam'd pale, Young Phelim sat down on the cold banks to vest, Aud thus to his rude harp attuned his sad tale: « Ah now, hapless Phelim, tired, hungry, and poor, Where, where shall thy footsteps a resting place find, Doom'd to wander aloue, misery's pangs to endure, Neglected by heaven and scont'd by mankind ? Once on those blue mountains when 1 was a child, I bounded for joy, and was proud of my lot, For there dwelt my father, < he lord of the wild, With his wide- wandering flock and his clod roofed cot. I lived with hin} alone, for my mother was dead, He taught my weak hands his long crook soon to hold, To collect the white sheep when too far they were spread, And at evening to drive them into the warm fold. He taught me to play on the harp and to sing The delights of ray country, of Erin the green ; 0 then how my soul on young rapture's bold wing Soar'd aloft, like the lark in life's morning serene 1 But ab me! a far softer and lovelier theme Soon raised from my youth a new ditty of praise, Fair Shilah enwrapt me in love's blissful dream, My harp rung for her and for her flow'd my lays. She lived in a cottage, a neighbour to ours; Ne'er, ne'er, have I seen such a beautiful maid1, . She seem'd in lierblooro, like the rose of May's boweVa ( Yes, my tears stream away, for that bloom was to fade). We loved ; and oft sitting beneath a tall rock That far o'er the valley its deep shiydow flung, Whilst around us was gaily disporting the flock, On her bosom reclining my love- tale 1 surtg. But alas 1 my dear father, enfeebled and old, Grew sick and at last went away to the grave ; To pay the physician, the flock was all sold, Nor aught but my harp was I able to save. Afar from my Shilah I then had to roam, An orphan unheeded, despised, alone; 1 have sung, I have wept, I have ask'd for a home, But spurn'd from each door I was answer'd,' Begone.' To revisit my Shilah I went t' other day, In hopes that her love would some balsam impart, But alas 1 I was shewn the cold earth where she lay, And was told that my sorrows had broken her heart. Ah I now hapless Phelim, tiled, hungry, and poor, Where, where shall thy footsteps a resting- place find, Pooin'd to wander alone, misery's pangs to endure, Neglected by heaven andscorn'd by mankind? Swift o'er my bare head the chill niglit- breezes sweep, And silence and rest all around me are spread; Whilst every one else reclines couched in sleep— Ah! why hast thou, Phelim, no slumbering bed? I will go to the grave ; yes, my harp, this weak lay Is the last lhat shall tell the sad tale of my woes: On thy music I feel that my soul steals away, And dealh hushes my life's stormy tide to repose. I faint:— O my only companion, farewell! This night whilst I lie hy tbe Shannon's pale surge, O'er ray corpse let thy strings ' mid the dale's frequent Pour in soft solemn murmurs my funeral dirge." [ swell 3. C. EXTRACTS From Mr. P'vtleering's Address to the People of the United States, FELLOW CITIZENS— In a former Address, I made a remark of this kind, that Great Britain, pressed by a war unexampled in the annals nf Ihe world — all Europe being leagued against her, Spain and Portugal excepted, which she was defending with her blood and treasure— was extremely unwilling to have the United States added to the number of her enemies, and that partly from a consideration of ber interests, and partly from a just contempt her government must have felt for the men who so ruinously and disgracefully administered ours, ( al- though it is impossible the British Government should feel for them more contempt than the French Emperor has expressed and dashed in their faces, she shut her eyes against, or did not think it expedient to resent, their glaring partiality to- wards her formidable enemy) and amid multiplied professions and amicable dispositions, their marked ill- will antl injuri- ous acts toward herself— these provocations on one side and foibearanceon the other, have served only to encourage their aggravated repetition ; nntil at length, our Government have ventured to commit a direct act of war. I know that our Administration will say, that the action between their frigate and the British sloop of wjr took place in the dark, when Commodore Rogers could not know what ship he fought; their newspapers have already made their apology, or rather their justification. But it is impossible it should passovcr without a demand, on the part of Great Britain, of an explanation and satisfaction ; and a satisfaction will be refused, war will ensue. •' But what madness ( it may be said) to provoke a war with Great Brita'n, when we have no fleet— no armv— no money in the Treasury— but a remnant o{ revenue from commerce, aud that, to be annihilated as soon as war takes place— with- out taxes, or the courage to impose them— and without credit to borrow, as any Government must be which is destitute of friends to pay regularly the interest, and ensure tbe payment of the principal I" These, to be sure, * oulrl present, to ordinary Statesmen, strong and iiwurmounrable objections to war, but none to our wise and economical Rulers. Ours will be the most simple and easily conducted war that was ever waged since nations began to qoarrel. This will be its fashion. The want of revenue will make it necessary to lay up our vessels of war, to rot in the warm fresh water of the Eastern Branch of the Potomaek at Washington. The small band of troops called the army wid necessarily become still smaller. If the States possessing sea- ports, wish to defend them, the respective legislators must provide for tbe expencc. If, for want of an .. t^ naia dpfence. thev should burn !— why so much the refusal, for takinj the Danish fleet, to prevent its falling ( as it would immediately have fallen) iuto the Hands of her implacable and formidable eneiviy. But the taking of East Florida will coincide with and render trtnie complete the grand object of the projected war wilh Great Britain, the putting an end to all commerce and intercourse with the Srilish dominions, iu consequence, with the Fieneb Emperor's sys- tem for destroying the culy power, which can effectually controul his march to univeisai empire. Another most important ob| ect and elled of the projected war will be, the cutting off all supplies of grain, rice, fl" Ur, beef, pork, and fish, from Spain and Portugal, foi whose calamities, inflicted by the French Emperor, our ruleis ma- nifested no sympathy ; but, on the contrary, they and their genuine adherents, appeared tn anticipate with pleasure thc subjugation of those countries by the universal tyrant ; and which has been hitherto prevented by Ihe great and effectual assistance of Great Britain. French cruizers have already captured and destroyed our vessels laden with provisions, and destined for the ports of Cadiz and Lisbon, and thoie captures, as well as others, the most horrible French outrages on our neutral rights, find zealous advocates amoug tbe adherents of our administration. Thus it appears that a war with Great Britain is calculated to produce all the effects which the French Emperor could desire, in the full expectation lhat it will hasten her downfall, and at the same time reduce the United States to beggary, and leave them a defenceless prey to his insatiable ambition. Such subserviency to the views of Fiance, of which I have in the coutse of these addresses given ample proofs, is, as it respects Mr. Maddison inparticular, now confirmed by Robt. Smith, late Secretary of State, in his pamphlet just published in vindication of his resignation. And if a great majority of the people continue their blind confidence in their rulers ( Mr. Madison and their partisans, with Mr. Jefferson at their head), such will be the fatal result of the measures they have planned and will pursue. July 1, 1811. THOMAS PICKERING. adequate defence, they should belter. If a war with Great Britain should take place, privateering will be the only mode of annoying on tbe part of the United States, and fortunes are already enjoyed, in anticipation, to arise from the captures of British vessels and merchandise; but this will prove a vain expectation. With such ample means at her command, Great Britain can sweep the ocean. And if she had desired the destruction of our rommetce, as carried on by our own vessels, which her- enemies among us ( who are the real enemies too of our own country) pretend, she long ere this time might have destroyed it. I havejust remarked, that in the projected war with Great Britain, privateering will be the only mode of annoyance on the part of the United States. But shall we not take posses- ion of the British dominions on our northern and eastern borders ? This has often been threatened: it is a part of the bullying system in regard to Great Britain; but it has never been seriously contemplated; and such meuibeisof Congress as I have heard mention it, only made themselves ridiculous by the grave face assumed for the occasion. But the folly of attempting the conquest of Canada, would be equal to the difficulty of achieving it. From the British power in that quarter, we have nolhiog to apprehend: hut if Canada were to lall into the hands of France we should have every thing to fear. And if the coi que6t wete to be made by the United States, the country, either by force or treachery, would be transferred to France. To maintain the possession against the attempts of Great Britain lo re- conquer it, would require an army and expenditure far sur- passing our whole present military establishment. But it would be in still greater danger from France, who might slip out a force sufficient to wre6t it from our hands— if, under auch Administrations as have governed for the last ten years, any iesistar. ee should be made. Tbe reason imperiously urged by the French Government to that of Spain, in the year 1800, for the retrocession of Louisiana, was, " that Louisiana was an ancient possession of France," so was Canada ; and were it once in oar hand", its resloration to France would be as imperiously demanded on the United States, as was the province of Louisiana of Spain ; and would such an Administration as Mr. Jefferson's or Mr. Madison's, which have so long been cringing at the feet of Bonaparte, resist the demand ? Certainly not. But Canada remaining in the hands of Great Britain, she would keep fast shut and bulled that noithern door, by which the French would enter and te- possess their ancient territories, and then, by the joint operation of intrigue, corruption, and force, attempt the subjugation of the whole United States. Instead, therefore, of our attempting the conquest of Canada, sound policy would require its being kept in the hands of Great Britain, But although our southern rulers will never by conquest, or otherwise, voluntarily add to the strength of the northern section of the United States, they will not hesitate to increase that of the southern section, with or without right. Hence the measure, as base as it was unjust, of taking possession of West Florida, a country to which, as I shall take occasion to shew, ve have no title, and which we should not have attempt- ed, had not Ihe distressed and enfeebled condition of Spain, oppressed and over- run by the armies of Europe's tyrant, trendered her incapable of sending thither an adequate mili- tary force for its protection. With the like unrighteous views, heccnquest of F. ast Florida will he undertaken, and by the very men who for so many years have been raising a hue and cry sgainat Great Britain for asking the surrender, and, on Miraculous escape Of the Elphinstone East Indiaman, in the China Seas. From an Officer on board the Elphinstone. " We sailed from Pulo Penning, September 4, 1810, and found our ship much jtiffei than when ive arrived, there, having landed 380 casks of King's previsions, which were stowed upon tbe Upper and gun decks, and of course a great weight aloft. The Ocean left Penning a few days before our arrival, drawing 25 feet six inchei water. We were fortunate in making a very good passage through the Straits of Malacca, in company with our fleet, who were joined by the Woodford and Alfred, and had every expectation of making a safe pas- sage to China; but on the 26th and 27th of September, the weather indicated an approaching gale, and we prepared ac- cordingly, by striking our top- gallant yards and masts, and otherw ise making the ship snug by spun lashing booms, & c. the gale ralher increased than otheiwise all the night of the 26th. During the night of the 27th per log, the wind very strong and shifting. Fleet all lying- to under storm stay sails; at half- past threes, m. the gale came from the N. E. lound to S. W. when we scudded for two hours and a half, and at six a. m. from S. W. to S, E. in violent puffs, when we brought to again under our stay- sails. At day- light, three ships in sight only, supposed to be the Commodore's ship, the Win Chelsea, Armston, and Alfred, all lying- to under storm stay- sail. Our ship laboured a good deal, bnt made very little water. At nine a. m, the wind being somewhat more moderate, it was proposed to bear up and scud for it, which was done, and we went right before the wind and sea about ten knots per hour, with nothing set but the fore- stay sail, when unfortunately for us, the fore- stay sail haul- yards broke, and the ship in- stantly broached to iu a tremendous manner, and the high sea that had been following up, frightfully broke completely over us, and at once nearly filled the gun- deck; when the well was founded, the quantity of water could not be ascertained, but it must be more than five feet. Our situation became now truly alarming, as the sea broke completely over us, and when vie had partly succeeded in breaking up the moveables on the gun deck, which were all afloat to and fio as tbe ship rolled—' dreadful to relate, the large pumps would not work; 15 tons of block tin stowea in the pump- well had, by the violent motion of tbe ship, fetched away, and forced the tubes out of their places. For me to attempt describing the feelings of us all at this melancholy crisis, is impossible ; the horror of momentary perdition may be conceived, but Ian guage cannot paint our agony of mind— nor had we scarce time to reflect on our situation— we sent the carpenters down to see what could be dope. By this time all was near a con- clusion ; the ship had ceased rolling, the starboard lower yard arms under water, and the upper deck as high as our booms completely covered ; the ship was water logged, and evidently settling fast in the water; no time was now to be lost, and but one remedy presented a hope of saving the ship and ourselves. We then hove the five starboard quarter- deck guns overboard, loosed the weather yard arm of the fore sail, which blew away directly, and cut away tbe mizen mast, bnt she lay completely quiet, when, as the last effort, we cut away the main mast, and in 20 minutes succeeded in clearing the wreck with re- ceiving no further damage than knocking away the lower star- boaid quarter gallery, when she wore and righted a little. By this time our pumps were at work, but the water from the hold was not pumped out of Ihe ship, our leather hoses being useless on account of the body of water on the gun deck, which was over the guns. We tbeu set to at two o'clock in the afternoon, September 28, 1810, wilh every thing we could get, and baled without a moment's inteimission at all our hatchways, and the pumps going until one o'clock the follow- ing day, being 23 hours without any refreshment, but bard baling and pumping, and very thankful we all were to see the morning's light, for that night's scene will never be forgotten by any of us. Our draft of water was 24 feet 9 inches. Four days after the gale we saw the land of China and some of our fleet, but, as tliey lay to all the time, we were the only unfor tunate sufferers." The total establishment of the Portuguese regular army is computed at 50,000. On the first of July last there were 44,000 men, of whom 28,000 were " present" fit for duty; there were 6000 detached on duty; and 10,000 under the head of " sick, recruits, prisoner?, and absent without leave ;" of the latter there were not more than 210. Of the 28,000 men present, fit for duty, 21,000 were with Lord Welling ton, incorporated with the British army. The cavalry is stated to be reduced to 1000. This is also false. They amounted to 4000; but of this number there were some sick. There were 2000 of them with Lord Wellington. Of the militia, there were upwards of 35,000 armed and fit for duty. Add lo these the Ordaneuza, and then it will appear how little the assertions of tbe Officer of Rank are entitled to credit. From this statement it appears that there are 6000 men wanting to complete tbe regular army. A decree of the 8th of May last ordered 9000 men to be raised, and they were to be at the depots about thc end of July.— Six more battalions of light troops, amounting to 6000 men, were also ordered to be raised ; of these the Lusilanian legion will form three battalions, and they are actually ready. " There are no game laws in Spain ; nor could any power enforce such, were they enacted. Every man in Spain carries his gun when he goes from home. The Spaniard* are all excellent marksmen, and the kind of defence best adapted for Spain depends much on their skill in this respect. The parties of Guerillas formed over the country are very nume- rous, and by intercepting dispatches and cutting off supplies, have annoyed the French more than the regular troops,— Had game laws been established, and the peasantry prohi- bited from carrying fowling- pieces, the country would not have made the resistance to the French, which has so far exceeded that which they have experienced in other countries. Though all are permitted to kill game, there are extensive preserves, called Cortos, belonging to the King, and to some of the nobility, which are protected hy privileges similar to our right of free- warten. The Duke of Medina Cell has some very considerable domains of this kind ; one situated on the banks of Guadalquivir, extending nearly 20 tniles, a smaller one a few miles from Chiclana, where I have been to enjoy a day's sport, but the weather was so hot that the scent would not lie 011 the ground ; and the Spanish pointers, tho' they have good noses, are so ill trained, that they tre never steady, nor will they back like dogs broken in England. There is abundance of game, but too much cover to course or hunt the hare ; therefore they are killed with the gun.— Partridges of the red legged kind are in great plenty ; but Ihere are n& pheasants. In cold weather the wood- cocks make their appearance in great numbers ; and there are plenty of snipes; rabbits are also very common."— Jacob! Travels in Spain. A provincial theatre, in the west of Ireland, lately ail nounced the following laconic bill of fare: " Monday next will be performed the Beggar's Opera ; the part of Fdch hy Mr. Sweeney, with a hornpipe in fetters, being his first ap. pearance since he got out of jail." Daring attempt.— Friday evening, at seven o'clock, the prisoners confined in Reading gaol, consisting of five transports, and six for trial at the ensuing March assizes, attempted to make their escape in the most re- solute and formidable way. The turnkeys having pro- ceeded to the ward where they were secured in the day, opened the door to remove them one at a time to the close cells for the night, when one came forward and was locked up. They then proceeded for the second ; immediately as Ihe door was opened, eight of them rushed out, seized the turnkeys, and fastened them into the close cells adjoining their ward. The keeper's wife, who was sitting in the kitchen with a debtor, ran to secure the door which led into the keeper's house, to prevent their approach, but was not in time they entered it, secured her, and forcing the debtor on the floor, dragged them both out and bolted them into a solitary cell. The keeper who was writing in the Magistrates' room up stairs, seeing them drag out his wife, immediately descended, fastened the doot* of the house, ran up stairs into the room he had previously left, and collected his fire arms in the window. The whole of the prisoners were now in a body, trying to force the door, calling out for the keeper, who an- swered " Hare I am, and shall shoot every one of you," and pulled the trigger of one of his pistols at a trans- port, who stooping his head, the ball missed him, and they all ran towards their wards with fury, swearing, but again collected themselves to attack him, when he quickly opened the door of his house with his fire arms, which were very formidable, consisting of three brace of pistols, and a musquct with a fixed bayonet, and drove them into the yard, where they hid themselves in the best manner they could. The keeper now released the turnkeys, his wife, two debtors, aud three women, whom they had shut up in the close cells as before described. The keeper's wife, immediately after her lelease, brought four debtors through the house to his assist- ance, but he had previously rushed into the ward, and presented his fire arms at them, threatening to shoot the first man who resisted going to his nightly abode; they obeyed, and with the assistance he had now pro- cured, he was enabled to secure every one with extra irons, and fasten them down to tbe floors of their re- spective cells. The following singular attempt at robbery took place in Paris on the 12th instant. Between nine and ten at night, a man, having his face covered with black crape, holding a pistol in both hands, together with a bill marked with strange characters, entered the house of a monevbroker, in the tue Cloitre St. Honore, who was quietly at supper with his wife, in a room behind their shop. The threatening demeanor of the man terrified, as may easily be supposed, the husband and wife, who attempted to escape, uttering loud cries; but the robber gave them to understand that he would shoot them if they made the smallest noise. He immediately presented to them the bill, which he held in his hand, requiring them to count him out instantly 6,000 francs in exchange for it. In spite ofthe threats of the villain, the people of the house could not restrain their cries, but increased them so much that the robber became alarmed, and attempted to escape ; but, as he found some difficulty in opening the door by which he entered, he imagined that he had been shut iu, ar. d that he would soon be taken. This idea sostupiSed him, that he 110 longer knew what he did, and in a moment of despair, he blew his brains out. Nothing was found on hitn that could lead to the dis. covery of his person. Poisoning Race- horses.— D. Dawson, who stands indicted for this offence, and who is now in Cambridge gaol, awaitiug the next March assizes, was originally a groom, and many years past was considered one of the best judges of the capabilities of a race- horse, as well as the crossing and jostlings on the Newmarket turf. He is not charged with the late atrocious offence, but with poi soning two horses at the Newmarket spring meeting id 1809, when the poisonous draft was supposed to have been designed for Mr. Wilson's Wizard, the winner of the 2000 gs. stake, but which fell upon two other horses. The principal witness against Dawson is Stephens, helping groom, who had been in custody, on suspicion of having poisoned the Dandy and other horses recently. Fleet Bank Notes.— At the Sussex assizes, John Bates Sbuckard was charged on several indictments, with various frauds, effected by the following contrivances :— On the 25th of July he went ti tha Old Sfcfp, « t Brighton, which Is kept by a person of the name of Shuckard, and introduced himself as a name- sake. He told the landlord that he knew his brothers very well, and that he had lately seen his younger brother, who had sent him a letter and a parcel, and was surprised he had not received any answer in return. The landlord, who is a Cerman, said he was very glad to see a name- sake, as he never knew of one in England, and treated him hospitably, recommending bim to lodge at a neighbour's. A day or two afterwards, at dinper, he related a story of the apprentice- boy where lie lodged having stolen a watch; and added, os he was a dealer iu lace, he had considerable piu- perly about him, which he would thank the landlord to take care of. He then produced a £ 500 and a <£ 30 note, and said, " you see here is ,£ 530." These notes he then sealed up in a piece of paper, and delivered them to Shuikaid, the landlord. He afterwards went about the town, and bought variety of articles of lace, jewellery, & c. referring to the landlord for his responsibility, who readily answered he had deposited considerable property with bim. This obtained him credit, and he got the goods of several tradesmen, with which he decamped; but, suspicion arising, the deposited notes were examined, when they turned out tobe^ sham notes, but so closely resembling Bank- notes, that the difference is not visible on an ordinary inspection. Tbe word Fleet is introduced in small letters, scarcely visible, and the word J- RNCE is substituted for pounds; the corner letters are white on a black ground, ex actly resembling the genuine Bank note.— The prisoner wa acquitted on the charge of fraud, on a deficiency of evidence but he was convicted of publishing a note with the sum ex pressed in " white letters on a black ground," which, by th Bank act, is a misdemeanour, subject to six months imprison ment; which sentence he received. Locusts,— The Roman states were again visited in April last by locusts, which devastated the country for many leagues. For near two months 6000 men were employed by the Government in extirpating those insects by means of fire and nets, and burying them in deep pits. Failure of Mr. Blackie.— This Somersetshire Pe- destrian became afflicted with swollen legs, to a fright- ful degree, on the twenty- second day of his labour at the Barclay match, of 1000 miles iu 1000 hours. He was attended by Dr. Simmons, and he resigned, on the twenty- third day, reduced from 14 stone 6lb. to 11 stone. The undertaking was for 300 guineas. On Tuesday evening the 6th instant, the inhabitants of Grantham were agitated by a very extraordinary appearance in the heavens: about half- past seven o'clock the Eastern and Western parts of the horizon seemed as two prodigious columns of fire issuing from immeuse volcanoes; the clouds were extremely dis- turbed, and the rack, riding in opposite directions, portended an elementary War. The vane and steeple ofthe church were quite illuminated; and the effect produced upon the houses in the town ( principally of jrick) is scarcely to be described: they reflected a strong fiery red, and appeared as if viewed through one of Claude Lorraine's glasses of that colour. Dur- ing the time of this curious appearance, which was nearly half au hour, the air was particularly close and warm ; a considerable degree of anxiety was depicted upon the countenances of all who viewed the pheno- menon, and in the impression of religious awe, which the mind received, the beautiful idea of the Royal Psalmist was strongly enforced, wherein he describes the Supreme as " riding on the wings of the wind, and directing the storm 1" The unusual appearance had vanished by eight o'clock, hutin the mind's eye of those who had sensibly beheld it, left a trace which will long continue. Col. B n, who, it would appear, conceived him- self reflected on for allowing ihe garrison of Almeida to escape, has put a period to his life. It is said he made application to the Commander of the Forces for a Court Martial; which not being able to obtain, he wrote letters to his brother- in- law, and the rest of his friends, taking leave of them, and acknowledging the impropriety of the act he was about to commit, but at the same time declaring, that, finding it impossible to obtain au opportunity of clearing his fame, which to him, a military matt, was dearer than life, he was resolved to terminate his existence. Fifty pieces of old cannon, buried in the earth, were lately discovered accidentally near Moldin, in Poland. They are partly Polish aud partly Swedish, and are sup- posed to have been buried there since the year 1657, in the war carried on by the King of Sweden, Charles Gustavus, against the King of Poland, John Casimir. The late Mr. Fransham, of Norwich, who was some time tutor to Mr. Windham, was so apprehensive of being buried alive, that repeatedly and earnestly before his decease he requested that his body should be laid before a fire, that wine should be offered to his lips, and the arms of a young woman clasped round his neck, before he was given up as irrecoverable. " Travellers see strange Things .'"— Mr. Sadler and Lieut. Paget, passing over London in their aerial voy- age, describe it to have appeared as small as a vil- lage ; and they could not indentify it till they taw the three bridgts I I I— This reminds us of their prede- cessor, Governor Sancho, who affirmed that in his journey through the air, he saw the earth as small as a grain of mustard- seed : and the people upon it ap peared no larger than hazle- nuts ! As the reapers were, a few days since, cutting the wheat in a field belonging to Mr. Porter, of Chertsey, they found a pair of old birds, and the whole covey of young partridges, lying dead within a few yards of each other. It is supposed they had been destroyed by lightning. A respectable pawnbroker in the neighbourhood of Clare- market, was a few days ago convicted at Bow- street, in the penalty of 40s. and 10s. costs, for taking more interest for pledge than is allowed by aet of parliament, on the infor- mation of S. Strachan. The article pledged was a gold ring, which was deposited on the 5th instant, for 3s, and redeemed 011 the 12th ; the legal interest for which was one halfpenny, but the sum demanded and paid was one penny. 7he Ghost detected.— A Ghost who for some time past alarmed the inhabitants of Kensington- gore, by his nocturnal pranks and deeds of terror, was caught on Sunday night, by Mr. Wilson, of Kensington, in the act of starting forth 10 alarm tbe timid passengers, from a stable in that neighbour- hood, habited in a milk white sheet. Mr. Wilson at first re- solved to take him before a Magistrate, but discovering him lo be the son of a gentleman of some respectability at Ham- mersniiih, he satisfied himself by consigning hiin to the hands of the mob, who were attracted hy bis cries for mercy, and who immediately proceeded to cool bis energies iu a hoi se trough Fire.— A. fire broke out on Friday morning early, at Mr. Z. Pigott's, Mucking hall, Essex, which entirely consumed a cow- house, with 21 Calves, two pigs, a laige barn, with the produce of 12 acres ot hay; the spaiks communicated to a large granary, containing a variety of farming utensils, which weie also consumed. There is at this liine an immense importation fiom Paris of books, pictures, prints, bronzes, busts, clocks, jewellery, toys, and elegant articles of all kinds, that have been allowed to be entered at the Custom- house, on account of the duties to be paid, which will occasion a sum to be paid of many bundled thousandsof pouuds. Several eminent bankers and monied men of France are now here along with these car- goes, no doubt to look after the return, which must be made in money, as Bonaparte is not so inattentive to his great object, as to permit a reciprocity of trade. Lieut. Maekwortb, the eldest son and heir of the Baronet of that name, has been taken prisoner by the enemy at Albuquerque; which h£ went to reconnoitre. The following is the list of officers who were pro- moted on the lst inst. in commemoration of the Battle of the Nile :— CAPTAINS— F. G. Dickens, of the Zephyr; Hon, H. Dawson, Parthean; J. A. Lapenotiere, Orestes ; Auvergne, Albicore ; Hart, Thraciau ; Jones, Talbot; Dolling, Beagle; Quash, I'Eclair; Henderson, late ofEclipse; and Clement, Favorite, to he POST CAPTAINS. LIEUTENANTS — Tulhdge, Popham, Curran, Rodney, Brasier, Parks, Irons, Hewes, Simpson, Hires, Southey, Bremer, and Hayden, to be COMMANDERS. In addition to the 14 regiments of British Militia formerly ordered for Ireland, the following have been required, by an urgent ordnr of the Quarter- Master- General, to prepare for immediate embarkation, viz. Westminster, to embark at Liverpool; Northampton, Portsmouth 5 East Ken, Falmouth ; North Hants, Bristol; Pembroke, ditto; Warwick, Portsmouth ; Rutland, Dover; East Norfolk, Ramsgate ; Hartford, Harwich; Dumfries, ditto; Lanark, Ardrossan. The aggregate number of these additional corps is 2S6 officers, and 7,074 rank and file. From the 15th Report of the Commissioners of Mili- tary Inquiry, it appears, that during the six months previous to the lst of July, 1810, the average weekly supply of gun barrels to Government fromBirmingham was 5,533, and of gun- locks 4,519. We should suppose that the number has not decreased since that period.— There is another manufactory for niusquetry carried 011 at Leisham, for the establishment of which £ 15,000 was granted by parliament in 1806. The weekly sup- plies from it during the same period were 460 guti barrels, and 334 locks. This establishment, it seems, up to the lst of July, 1810, had cost the country up- wards of £ 66,000, but it was supposed by some to have done considerable service, not only from an increase of the supply, but by having stimulated the contractors of Birmingham to greater exertions. Several seamen belonging to American ships were re- cently impressed by the French at Dantzic, and sent with some Dutchmen and other foreigners under a strong es- cort to Antwerp ; but when arrived at Berg, near Meek- lenbiirgh, the seamen rose upon theirguard in the night, overpowered them, and the whole escaped. Some of the Americans thus impressed, have arrived in this country by the way of Gottenburgh, and vouch for the truth of this statement. The Arrow schooner, of 12 guns, which is arrived at Plymouth from a cruize off I'Isle de Bas, engaged and sunk a lugger, and ran up alongside an 18- gun brig, and after a smart action, behaving in the most gallant manner, drove her on shore— The batteries opened 011 the Arrow, killed one man, wounded auother very badly, with the loss of a leg and an arm; the Commauder, Lieutenant Knight, was also wounded. The return match for 1000 guineas, between the one arm and one leg pensioners of Greenwich Hospital, was finally decided at Montpelier Gardens, on Monday last, in favour of the one arm players, by 40 runs. The match lasted three days. Reputed ' Thieves.— This clause in the Police Act was much amended in the last Session, and is as fol- lows:—" And whereas divers ill- disposed and suspected persons and reputed thieves frequent places of public resort, and avenues leading theieto, and the streets and highways, with intent to commit felony on the persons aud property of his Majesty's subjects there being : and although their evil purposes are sufficiently manitest, the power of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace to demand of them sureties for their good be- haviour hath not been of sufficient effect to prevent them from carrying Iheirevil purposes iuto execution : — Be it enacted, tiiat from and after the passing of this Act, it shall and may be lawful for any Const ble, Headborough, Patrole, or Watchman, to apprehend every such person, and convey him or them before any Justice of the Peace ; and if it shall appear before the said Justice, upon oath, that such person or persons is or are person or persons of evil fame, and a reputed thief or thieves, aud if it shall appear to the satisfaction of Ihe said Justice that there is great ground to believe that such person or persons was or were in such public place of resort, avenue, street, or highway, as aforesaid, with such intent, every such person shall be deemed a rogue and vagabond, and liabie to imprisonment for six months." Curious Fact — A late distinguished Statesman, some years ago, placed a casket in the custody of his banker. This casket was forgotten by both the proprietor and tbe depositary. Since the death of the former, it had accidentally been brought lo light, aud found to con- tain £ 12,000 worth of family jewels.— These are now of little use as ornamenti of dress; for the widow lives in a state of pious privacy, indulging an affectionate grief for the public and private virtues of her deceased husband. Forged Characters.— A man of the name cf Jaekltn, who keeps a kind of office for selling characters to ser- vants, who are in want of them, has been remanded from Marlborough- street Office, for recommending a fellow of the name of Molt, to the service of a gentle- man in Wimpole- street, and giving a false character. Thc character was proved to be in the prisoner's hand- writing, who represented himself to be a Capt. Mason, to whom the prisoner Molt had been groom for two years. The said Molt had robbed his Master of £ 100 and decamped, which gave rise to this inquiry. In a calls,; tried at the last York Assizes, a witness, of the name of Joseph Gomersal, who had been an Arbi- trator to settle the dispute before the action was brought, having concluded his evidence, Mr Parke, the Plaintiff's Counsel, archly said, " If you are not very busy, Mr. Arbitrator, I should be glad if you would stop in York this week, as we may, perh. ips, wish to refer some causes to you." To this quia honest Joseph bluntly replied, in a strong West Riding accent, " Why, an if ys did, they might happen be as we'ell sattled as ye'll sattie ' em." Turf F. stru.— On Saturday, the 10th inst. died, at Knowslej, near Pre- cot, Lancashire, in the 28th year of bis age, Sir Peter Teazle. He was bred by the Earl of Deibv, and got bv Highflyer; his dam, Papillon.

Discovery in Duly.—.'{' tie: ancient city of Veii, which under- wept the ever memorable siege by tbe Romans in the year of Rome 360, and which was again erected aud embellished by the Emperors, being luined ill a furious eruption of the Barbarians, it was permitted on the decline of the empire to remain in a state of desolation, und its reliques, covered with rubbish and soil, are now yielding plentiful crops. M. Georgi, an eminent agriculturist, and owner of the land, had the curiosity to dig into the bosom of the old scite, and 011 discovering part of a range of columns 12 feet below tbe sur- face, he employed 3ll men to follow up his discovery. The research still continues; they found a most beautiful statue of Tiberius; it is of the heroic size, and 111 a sitting attitude. The head beats a striking resemblance to the Emperor's medals, and is sublime bolh in execution awl expression ; the arms, the knees, the hair, and tbe drapery, are excellent. It is of Greek maible, and the evident woik of a Grecian aitist ; along wiih the statue they fuiit d a fine bust, supposed to bethe head of Lepidus, the Consul, a Phrygian sieve, a Caryatides, a beautiful head of Flora, tne lower pait of the figure of a priestess, with drapery, in the style of the first masters, n Doliutn of an immense size, with many capitals of various orders in a good state of preservation. Many greater dis- coveries are expected to be made by Mr. Georgi in this in- teresting branch of autiquai iantstn. BANKRUPTS, AUGUST 17.

T > HE CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD affords the most permanent Relief, ai d is happily calculated for the Weak, the Sickly, and Infirm, Persons of either sex, who from habits of indulgence, late sitting up, sedentary employment, anxiety of mind, frequent intoxication, sudden fright, over exertion, a weakly constitution, the bile, or other Causes, are subject to various and distressing nervous affections, including sick head- ache, hysterical and consumptive com- plaints, disrelish for society or business, tieinor and general emotion on the must trifling occasions, loss of appetite, iu- di gestion, ficc. will fiud immediate relief fioin the use of this medicine. In debility, seminal weakness, bilious and irritable habits, tabes doraalis, or nervous consumptions, its merit stands un. rivalled. It enteis into and mixes with the most subtle of the animal fluids; assists, invigorates the decayed juicea, and tliiows a general warmth upon the debilitated and relaxed parts tbat stand ill need of assistance. Peisons entering upon the holy state of matrimony, should consider that where the fountain i, polluted, the streams that flow from it cauuot be pure " 111 the most excruciating pains of the stomach and vis- cera, or windiiiess, it gives instant relief; and where the vital principle has been impaired, and animal vigour exhausted by the irregularities of youth, bringing on a premature old age, it will be found an invaluable remedy. In all those diseases that have their rise from irregular living, or an enfeebled state of the digestive poweu, its ef- fects are astonishing; debility of speech, and all other the mental and corporeal powers that depend 011 the tone of the nervous system, have so frequently and suddenly yielded to its power, as to render unquestionable its efficacy in those disorders.
