Ip the sitting of the 26th of June, the copy of a Mexican Extraordinary Gazettte, transmitted to the Minister of State by the Spanish Ambassadors at London, and which was presented to him by a pas. senger in an English frigate fromVera-Cruz, was read by the President. It reported that the Viceroy of New Spain had received a dispatch from the Colonel Ochoa, dated at the Camp of Noria, in the province of Coa huila, 29th of March, in which he requested earnestly that a reinforcement of 500 men might be sent to him in order to enable him to conduct to head-quarters 201. insurgents, prisoners, among whom were the leaders Aldama, Hidalgo, Abasolo, and Allende, and several other officers, together with a quantity of mo ney, jewels, and gold and silver plate, which they had collected. On the motion of Senor Penzzo, it was entered on the journal of the Cortes. In the same sitting various documents were read respecting the occupation of the Lonja, or exchange of Palma (the chief town of Majorca) for the estab lishment.of a foundry for brass cannon, of cast-iron articles of war, an arsenal for shipping, &c. From the whole of these it clearly appears, that the edifice in question is remarkably well calculated for the pro pored uses. This opinion was strongly enforced h r the Senor LLANO, who quoted the authority of Don Joaquin de Porcas, an excellent judge, as well as a liberal patron of the useful arts—that they might use all the means in their power before they could procure a building so well adapted in every respect for these important ob jects. These sentiments being approved of, it was or dered that the Regency should take the necessary steps, notwithstanding the licence formerly granted by his Majesty. 46 Bap Coff..e, and 12 'lieu(' Cocoa, returned to the Claimants ex Eliza, and t 7 herons Brazil Tobacco, ex Aurora, wzrehoused for expor tation.- V.

The greatest activity takes place in tly, kingdom of Gallicia. The army from little rnt;re than twenty, had increased its number% in a very short space of time to nearly 30,000 effective men. It is asserted,' that Santocildes had advanced as far as Avo-ga.— If the plans, which are said to be in agitation, are spiritedly acted upon, the North of main will con-' tribute greatly to the salvation of the Peninsula. If we were furnished with the necessary assistance, we could in a short time bring upwards of 50,000 Gal ! licians into the held ! In short, the general mass of the population are ready, in case of need, to defend their country. 3311.E0A, JULY Is. The Guerrilla force has of late very considerately augmented. Camrillo, and the Pastor, have each 700 men under th..ir command. The first men tioneg, with his party, is about the neighbourhood of Alava ; the second in Biscay, and the last rfentioned l in the mountains of Santander. An action took placel at Marquina with the party of the Pastor, who York the town, and gave it up to his patty to plunder. The inhabitants, who had fled after the action, retired to the convent cf El Carmen, and shutting themselves up in it, defended themselves with so much obsti- 1 nacy, that the Pastor and his party were forced to retir?, after losing '2O men killed and 40 wounded. ! The French have lately put the provinces into a new state of organization, n ominating an Intendant and Subinteadant for each province, the former to he a Frenchman, and the latter a Spaniard.

It communicated with astonishing rapi dity to a range of wooden buildings in the rear of Stetson's Tavern, more than 100 feet in leegth, and the whole square was is a few minutte in a blaze.— Blunt's-buildings and the Phoenix Office, two large brick buildings, seemed .to present a barrier to the destroftive element, and great hopes were entertain. .e.dfor%a time, that they would effectually restrain its rage; 'but, by a sudden change of the wind, the flames were carried directly upon these immense riles, Nvli;ch they soon overtopped, and involved iii the calamity, which threatened to become general.— State-street at this time presented a spectacle most terrilny sublime. “ 'lie wind, soon after its change, blew strong ; these buildings, which were among be highest in the Starr, threw the tire in awful columns many yards into the air, and the flames extended in one continued sheet of fire across the spacious area. The buildings on the north side of Steee-street caught like tinder, and all efforts to cowered or assuage the tempest of fire, seemed unaveiling and fruitless.

" His /kilm SSTS' has had some sleep inthe night, and is, upon the whole, a little better." HArmiRKETTHEITRE. ---- Last night the performance of the Comedy of The Birth Day afforded Mr. MINDEN an opportu nity of displaying his pre-eminent. powers in the character of Calet. Bertram, which he performed to the infinite delight of a very crowded house. His gouty twinges were only rivalled in extorting ap please by the quick transitions of 'session with which he filled up the part of the blunt, cajoled, yet good hearted seaman.—Mrs. BARNES played Errata with 1 I the success, and did net fail in extorting a tear fmm e audience- Mr. MALLINSON also did justice to the part of Honest Jack Junk. The comic interlude of 4 Day after the Wedding followed ; in which Mr. JONES was much applauded for his excellent and spi rited acting of the reforming Bridegroom. The public, who went in crowds to witness the equestrian achievements of Mrs. H. JoueseoN and Master CHAPMAN, seem now to be smitten with as eager a desire and relish to see them made the sport 4'l of satire and burlesque. The effect of (he M inager of the Lyceum was last night succeeded by that of the Manager of the Haymarket, who cc.ncleded the amusements of the evening with a new piece, en titled, The Quqdrupeds of Qtecdfinburg ; or Tie Revere of Iftsimar. Pursuing the rage of the present clay, this is brought forward as a good-humoured satire on the hippo-dramatical taste of modern nudien. ces, and at the same time being selected from the ce lebrated German Drama in the Anti. Jacobin, revives the satire on the importation of German sentiment i and morality for the British stage. The latter is, perhaps, now unnecessary, as that fay has given ' place to the mania for Horsemanship. This piece is introduced in the same manner with the critic, by a convers ition between an Author and a Manager, for 1 whose edification he exhibits a rehearsal of his work. The vehicular conversation on this subject, the ligh ra thee hing, contains many good witticisms and hits on the prevalent follies. One bon mot, from its applica bility, told evremely well. It arose on the apology of the Author for 'staying beyond his appointment, and the Manager excuses him, as he says, because " they allow a little Law at that f/cure," on which the Author remarks, " a great deal tea much."— To this conversation, succeeds a Prologue, well spoken by Mr. ELLISTON, which we sulinin as no bad parody on the well-known Prologue to Cate: To lull the soul by spurious strokes of art, To warp the genius, and mislead the heart To make mankind revere Wives gone astray, Love pious soot, who rub on the highway; For 'hi- the Fore/pt Moises trod oar stage, Commanding Gems.

It tlooefore docs not isfquire any comment (as t') its structure or history of its plot. The wit is perhaps more pungent in print than in action, and the performance was rather tedious, though the vein of humour which runs through the whole gave occa e sional subject for the talent of the laughters. Many parts were good burlesques on favourite scenes of ino. Idern approved pi (+ine:ions ; such as the prison scene lin P:zzirro, .tend toe oist scene of Trento. the Tartar, whicls is closely inihated in the last of this new flip 1 pa-ono-dramatic° Romance. Tile new preformers introduced, frisked about with much agility, ptroeti• ,laxly the stuffed poneys. As for the donkeys, they certainly did not tread the stage with the firmness of veteians, but their steady composure and self.com mend, gave fair promise of future excellence, when (they become better acquainted with the business of she stage. The biped performers were equally sue cessful, and the monkey on the standard was all that the inost sanguine fancy could expect. Upon the whole, with an efficient pruning, we have no doubt, although the subject is hasknied, but the fame of these quadrupeds will prove stable at the Hay Market, aild the Rovers of Weimar there find a wed abode !—This entertainment is said to be furnished to the Theatre by Mr. COL MAN. For the truth of this we cannot pre tend to vouch ; hut we must confess, that from the description given of the family of Mr. Bathos in the first scene, without any previous information on the subject. we should have thought it exceedingly pro bailie that the piece was from the pen of the author of " Sylvester I)aggerwood." • " WIN DSGIVA VMS, JULY 21.

Wednesday, the PRINCE R EGENT, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and Colonel BLOONIFIFLD, dinci with the Princess CHARL O T TE of WALLS, at Warwick house. Yesterday the Paisce REGENT dined with the Princess CHARLOTTE again, previous to her Royal Higness leaving town for Bognor. From the rapid and continued succession of car riages to Windsor, by way of Datchet, an extra num ber of men are in constant requisition upon that terry day and night. A flag of truce has arrived from Morlaix, which left that port on the 21st instant, and it is again stated, that all the American vessels which were provisionally sequestrated since the Ist of November, have been, without a single exception, surrendered up to the Cap tains cr owners. Advices from Paris of the 17th July also mention that three or four cf the American vessels which had been condemned at St. Sebastian M 1809 and 10, among which was the Camilla, had been released. Theßellisarius,Loreeter, from New-York to Lon don, laden with naval stores, has been captured and carried into Morlaix. The master informs his owners, that immediately after they were carried into port, he and his crew were thrown into prison. At the date of his letter (which was the 20th July ). he was himself at liberty, but his men remained in confinement. Seven ships from Holland, provided with licences under the sign manual of Napoleon, arrived yesterday. The cargoes consist wholly of cheese. These licenses, arean indulgence which Bonaparte occasionally grants, in order to enable him to collect his revenues in chat impoverished country. The fleet for India and the Mauritius is still de-1 tained at Portsmouth ; no troops go out by this fleet.

Recent accounts from Ceylon state, that General MAITLAND hid obtained permission to absent himself from his Government for twelve months, for the be netit of a long sea voyage, in the hope of the restora tion of his health, and is expected in England in the course of heat month. He was to be succeeded tert tempo?, in his office o' Ci.verner of Ceylon by Colo ', :lel Wiasoe, who h id received the local rank of Bri gadier. General Bilowsuicio is to succeed him as Governor of Ceylon, who wiii take his departure for that island next month. Letters from Calcutta state, that the Governor- General had directed that the thanks of the Supreme Government should be given individually to Captain NIKON, Lieutenant YATES, ard Ensign ALLEN. through their Resident at Amboyna, fot their gallant conduct in the reduction of the Island of Banda. Some material alterations in the military service at Madras, were published on the 3d of November, by which it is established, that in future no officer shall hold the office of Adjutant-General, or Quarter -Master General, who has not attained the rank of Major ; nor of Deputy-Adjutant, or Deputy.Quartermaster-Ge ner.d, who has not been at least two years a Captain.

The plan of the legion, as approved by General Cacrnsos, and recommended by him and the Spanish Governmen•, to Seignor APODACA, the Spanish Minister in this country, has been else,as we have stated, approved by Lord WELLINGTON, who, we understand, has made observations with his own hand on the different clauses, and then recommendA the scheme in the most particular manner to his brother, the Marquis, and to the British Government in general- The more immediate object of the proposition, and of the mission ..f the Gentleman who is the bearer of it, is to procure supplies ut clothing and arms— men being to he had in abundance as soon as these primary and indiipenhible means of c onverting them into soldier: are in• readiness for them. Mrs. BISHOP is engaged upon a liberal salary, for the ensuing season, at Covent-garden. A Spanish vessel has :strived at P,a-tsniratth from Corunna, from whence she sailed on the 17th July.

SaNtomoes, with 9000 Spaniards, wa. on the outside of the walls, expecting tile arrival of Peasios with 4000 men from Pones, and '3(00 from the neighbourhood of Oviedo. It was calculated that they would arrive before July 16th, when an at tempt was meditated to dislodge BONNET, if he did not retire from Leon before that time.—His destina tion was either Salamanca or Ciudad Rodrigo, in which direction, from the that character of the coun try, Ms superiority in cavalry would oivc him great advantage.
