The above dispatches are dated the beginning of November, and were brought home by Lieutenant. , CARROL, who has also brought accounts that liberal subscriptions are raising at Buenos" Ayres, which the British Admiral on that station has offered to transmit to Spain. We know that the country is very capable . ' of affording powerful pecuniary assistance to her twee:- sitous parent : it comprehends the famous district of Potosi ; and has, during the last ten years, annually remitted in specie to Europe about three millionrrei dollars. ' It is' supposed that Lieutenant CARROL has brought' home with him, for the approbation and ratification of Government, some commercial arrangements be-' tween that settlement and this country ; the princi. pies of which bad been for some time under discus sion between Sir SIDNEY SMITIt and a deputation from Buenos Ayres. The dispatches brought by Lieutenant. CARROLL were laid before the Cabinet, which was sitting when he arrived. The Spanish brig Nra. Sra. Maria Catano, from Gijon, in five days, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday. This vessel has brought accounts which we wish we could credit ; that, eight days before she left Gijon, accounts had been received of the French being defea ted in Catalonia, by the Patriots under General PALA PDX, with the loss of 18,000 men. On the ether hand. it is strongly reported, that Ministers have received accounts of the defeat of the Patriots in that province. If Government have received such accounts, they are certainly entitled to more credit than the other. Madrid Gazettes have been received, containing a copy of the Capitulation of that city. The terms, it must be allowed, appear to be more favourable than could well have been expected. The motive on tSe part of NAPOLEON is, however, obvious. To him it was a matter of the first importance to be able to free his troops from the necessity of remaining in that neighbourhood, that he might send them without de lay against Sir JOHN Moon& Having such an ob ject in view, the kind of terms given to the city of Ma. drid, would with him be a matter of secondary int portance. Gaining possession of the city, wlthout de lay, was obtaining every thing for which he went there ; for he knew well that, being once in possession, whatever else he might desire could be Am:mould at any future period. Accounts were yesterday received, that the Mow- Key glln-brig, which has arrived at Leith, from off Gottenburgh, had been warned off the latter port by signal. A report was in consequence' circulated, that the King of Swrozx had shut his ports against all British shipping. It is supposed, however, that the signal was made to warn his Majesty's ships of their danger, in consequence of the quantity of ice in the harbour. rizOCIAMATION or ?lir SUPRFMF.

The 4th, or Irish regiment of dragoon guards, is 'Me of the corps under orders for Spain. This highly :disciplined regiment was commanded many years by Major-General Tgewmts. The present Commanding , Officer has served long, and is a man of experience. Since *this regiment returned from Manchester, it has 'seen quartered at Nottingham, Leicester, and Bir- Mingh am. Sunday, an Officer, and a detachment from the ,Drivers Corps of Artillery, quartered for a conside rable time past in Waterford, marched for Cork, for embarkation. It was reported, but without any foundation, that the 40th Regiment had received a .• u •. nnAr route. Lord AMHERST was yesterday met at dinner, at the Freemasons' Tavern, in Great Queen-street, Lin coln's-Inn-fields, by his most respectable corps, the St. James's Volunteers, where his Lordship took his leave of them, and received their acknowledgments for the attention which he has uniformly paid them. I 'The trench General Lvirsar left Plymouth on Sunday for Reading, where he is to remain prisoner ituparola. He is abput 35 years old, and was most splendidly dressed. He wore the star of the Legion of Honour. , FRENCH BULLETIN. The Twentieth Bulletin of the French army laa. been received in town. It is dated Madrid, the 19t1. ult. ; at that time BONAPAIITE, with the whole of his army was at Madrid, and in the environs of that ca. pital ; and he expresses in the Bulletin, his intender. of giving his troops some days rest, after the extraor dinary fatigues they had undergone. The Bulletin states, that patroles of French cavalry had pushed on as far as Valladolid, on the one side, and to the frontiers of Andalusia on the other.—: It also states, that the corps which had advanced to Talavera was still at that place ; and adds, that the cavalry had at length discovered the existence of the English, who bad remained in so extraordinary s manner immoveable at Salamanca ; but it does not state how very ,dearly the French cavalry had pair* for their discovery The Bulletin concludes wit.: stating that the Bth division had reached Burgos. The last letters from Cadiz state, that General CArruwos was undergoing his trial at Seville. They -aka add, that a private interview had taken place between BONAPARTE and MORLA • previous to that ce lebrated public audience, in which his Imperial Majcq read the Spanish General the very curious and extra. otdinary lecture, the substance of which is given in one of the Bulletin:. In this it was, it is said, arrang ed that MoRLt should facilitate the surrender of the capital, and that the reward for his perfidy was to be his being continued Governor of Madrid. In conse quence of some suspicious orders .given by one of hi; Aides4e-Camp, his treacherous intentions were dis covered- This day a singular circumstance occurred at the Admiralty. About 360 sailors and marines, lately belonging to the STANDARD, which arrived a few days ago from the Mediterranean, and from which ship they had been turned over to the Tuusutaxa, at Chatham, after their arrival, came in a body to the Admiralty. These poor fellows, 'tom being long in the Mediterranean, had arrears due to them,•which they seemed to imagine was somehow imputable to negligence on the part of the agents. They were very kindly received by the First Lord of the Ami. ralty, and learnt to tl.eir great satisfaction, that the delay had arisen only from their being on a foreign station, and that orders were already issued for pay. ing th em, They were highly gratified with their reception, and instantly set off again in a body for Chatham. Monday, a meeting of the Privy Council took place at the Council Office, which was attended by the MAST= of the Rot's, Sir .EvAw . NEIMAN, and Mr. As, upon Plantation Appeals. Their Lord- Ships' attention was principally called to the cause of Sir WILLIAM YOUNG O. STEWART, and SOMBOO v. the East India Company. The proceedings of their Lordships were adjourned rine. die upon the first cause, and the latter was adjourned to next Monday. Extract of a letter from an Officer on board the NAactssus, dated off Rochefort, January 3 —O4 I have sent this by the GIBRALTAR, which has just left this station. We are now blockading the frigates that escaped from Nantz and run in here during the very hard gales a few days past. when we were blown off the coast. You may shortly expect to see me at Ply. mouth Dock, as I understand the Admiral has or. dered the ALCMENE frigate to relieve us ; but she has not yet arrived." The beautiful frigate CLORINDE (formerly French) the command of which has been given to Captain 'bums, has had a complete refit at Plymouth, and is expected to sail in a few days. She is destined to go as convoy to the first outward-bound fleet to the East Indies. Capt. Susxus goes out with her, as Com missioner at the Cape of Good Hope.

I Wednesday Feb. 15 CuItIOUs At/lc:non Soon after the conquest, when the French language was first introduced into our Courts of Law, the Society of Gray's Inn ap pointed an officer, whose duty it was to summon the ‘Students, &c. to dinner, at twelve o'clock, by walk ing through every part of the Inn, and crying out Manger! Afange? I The office continues to the present day, and thediity of it is discharged at the same hour, and therefore, from the change of customs and habits, may rather serve for a summons to breakfast than dinner : this ancient dinner bell is called the Mangeur, and receives a quarterly stipend for the use of his noon-day clapper to this hour. Cooka's re-appearance, for the first time after his indisposition, wat last night, at COLMAN'S heatre, distinguished by reiterated bursts of the warmest and loudest plaudits. He performed his popular charac ter of Sir Pertinent Maetycolehant, in the Comedy of The Man of the World, All the peculiarities of Sir Pertinax were very happily given ; and, although evidently labouring under a severe cold, yet Coons displayed to the greatest advantage those admirable powers which have. rendered him so deservedly a very great Favourite with the Public.—C. Kasums, Mut- RAY, and BRUNTON *acquitted themselves with much propriety.—Mrs. H. JOHNSTON looked charmingly in Lady Reddittris Liankreourt, and gave all the sarcastic points of the Author in the most impressive manner. Miss NORTON in Conttentia evinced also much genius. —The assemblage was one of the hest of the season. Among those distinction we noticed, the Duchess of MONTROSI, Lady Sv.tuaart, Mn, Our Husua, Lady 14.0LVT.TOT, &c. . IiATII, JiiNU4ltr 11. The Kuria of the Czarssomrs' Ball, at the Up pp- r 4,00 m, on Monday last, was so excessively crowded, that it might truly,be likened to a mob, were not that mo vulgar a term to apply to such an assemblage of rashionables. All the beauty and elegance which Bath can at, present boast of, attended , upon this oc. casion,and indeed every one seemed charmed with thf sqneezing they received, their sole object apparently being to displ.ty their fashionable and elegant dresses, and to be seen honouring the Master of the Ceremo nies with their presence. As for dancing, the avowed object of such assemblies, it was almost entirely out of the question : none could attempt it with any de- gree of satisfaction, so that the evening was mostly spent in talking and promenading, or rather squeez. ing past one another. LONDON Ctracv.—A rapes:of yesterday contained an accusation against the London Clergy, that when they lent their pulpits for Charity Sermons they appro. priated one-third of the collection for private purposes, and that when they preached they kept a part for their trouble. We are warranted by truth and justice, in the assertion, that this insinuation is insidious, uncha. ritable, and Mum ! Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, the funeral procession of the late Marquis of SLTGO began from his house in Grafton-street, to proceed towards Ire land. f our mourning coaches and a nsmnber of Noble. men's asci Gbatlemen's carriages folk:Avid as far as Dunstable. A Muffled peal was rung at Si. Mary's Church, it Shrewsbury, do Monday, an commemoration of the late gallant Adniiral Lord Nueos, whose funeral took 'place 9th January, 1806. . Captain HAXDY, of the Navy, has at this time in his possession the identical waistcoat in which the un• fortunate CRAILIS the First was beheaded at White. hall. It is a singular historical fact, that those of the Third HZNIIY• the 77sird Enwatao, and the Third 0201104 should have -proved the .third longest reigns in the English Monarchy ; the first having reigned 157 years, the second 51, and the last 49, wtth a fair prospect of continuing to sway the British sceptre. Admiral HOLLOWAY lately sent, as a present to her MAJUIT, tour ducks, entirely black. They were taken to Frogmore, where her Marten's has a very large collection of curious birds and fowls. The stake money, of 250 guineas, was made good last night for the battle between Crib and Jem Bel cher, as was also 100 guineas for the match between Young Belcher and Farmborongh. The battles are fixed to take place on Wednesday the Ist of February. Crib and Young Belcher still remain , the favourites; and Blake is the favourite in a third battle, in the same ring, betwixt him and Cropley: A Gentleman last week took a seat in the mail, from Edinburgh to Carlisle, and on paying his fare, pulled out his purse, containing 20guineas, and re turned it to a breast pocket of his waistcoat. A rogue observing this, likewise took his seat in the mail to Carlisle, on speculation. Pefore the Gen tleman had arrived at Mosspanle, he fell asleep, and the fellow dexterously picked his pocket. At Moss pails the pickpocket decamped, and the gentleman did not miss his purse until he arrived at Carlisle. FORGIERIES.—The public have been apprized that a number of forged notes, for 51. of the Bank of En gland, are in circulation. Some time since, an Italian, of the name of Aiwa, called at the house of a vicar. alter in Holborn, and purchased some wine, and in payment tendered a 51. note. The victualler suspect• ed the note was not genuine, and he went to a neigh bour who had supplied him with change, when his opinion was confirmed, and he detained the utterer. Alessi was taken to Marlborough-street Police Office, and was under examination for five weeks, during which time he distlosed some facts of the utmost im portance to the Bank and to the public. The prisoner gave up the real fabricator of the notes, a man of the name of Nicholh, who resided at Birmingham; and two officers from Marlborough-street Police Office succeeded in taking him into custody. On this man were found one hundred 51. fabricated notes, and a number of smaller notes of the same description. — Alessi stated that he gave 255. for the forged 51. notes, to Nicholls, and a proportionate sum for those of 11. After seve ral examinations, the prisoners were both committed for trial. CORN EX,CHANGE, MARK.I.ANZ, JANUARY 13.—The Market to-day again has an unusual short supply of Wheat, and sales thereof are at encrease in price of about .10s. per quarter from Monday. —Barley and gait in short supplies, at little variation—Beans o each kind likewise — New Ticks 50s. to 565. per guar. ter—White Peas are dearer—There are very few Oa here, or sales effected, and the prices considered no I missal—Flour higher ss. per sack. 02111 MAL CUSARNtT AS UNISILIS: Whist il 70e.
