'csrritd into execution. The most recent advices from St. Petersburgh are to the 10th of August. The Exchange had fallen a trifle ; the last price was about 140. Commerce wore a somewhat promising appearance ; and it is again stated, that the ships at kiga hay. been restored. With .t to the Baltic fleet, whichhad been dis- ,cat, respect persed in a gale, the folloirin g extract of a letter con ' tains some information : Wing° Sound, August 22. The homeward-bound convoy sailed at - day-light yesterday morning, with a fiat. breeze, which still con. tinues ; they were joined off this port by the Tweed, Mercurius, and Plover, with about 20 sail of vessels which had taken shelter in Selo, and between that place and Marstrand. I have heard of no vessel , being lost or taken. The convoying ships are the Helder, Mercurius, Tweed, and Daring, for the Nore ; Providence and Prince William, for the Humber; Plover, for Leith; and the Hebe, for Long Hope." No further advises from Lord WiLLINaToN had arrived when this paper went to press; but private hv the Lisbon Mail, received .by one of the most resFectable houses in the City, contain ate rola lowing important communication: " LISBON, AUGUST IS. " Lord WELLINGTON has entered Spain with a large force, and it is supposed his views are directed against Salamanca, as our advanced guards have left Ciudid Rodrigo, two leagues in the rear." Other letters of the same date contain the follow. ing passage : a Commerce is extremely dull, owing to the arrival of a great number of American vessels, and the march of the Army towards the North. At Oporto circumstances are different: trade there ap pears to be very brisk, atnd depots are forming at Cele. rice. Pinhel, and Guarda, for the use of the Army." The last accounts from Oporto state, that a very general opinion prevailed there, that it was the inten tion of Lord WELLINGTON to lay siege to Ciudad Rodrigo, which was strengthened by the great mt.- tions made to hasten up the Douro all the heavy artil lery. Depots of provisions were likewise establishing along the banks of the river, and all the proceedings seemed to indicate that active operations were soon to be commenced in the North. The Commissaries at Lamego had received instructions to prepare 2000 waggons for immediate service at that station. Men tion is made froth the same quarter, that the move ments of the Gallician army are to correspond with, and support those of the Allies u:ider Lord Wak- LINGTON. A letter from a Spaniard of rank, dated August 17, states, that the armies of the three pro vinces of Asturias, Gallicia, and Leon, consists of snore than 45,000 men, but that a great part of them are deficient in clothing and arms. Tbey have a few horses, but unprovided with accoutrements. At Lisbon it is generally supposed that the British Commander medicates a bold and important enter prize. It. is well known that in consequence of the danger to which Ciudad Rodrigo has been exposed, Salamanca has been lately made the grand dep6t for the French supplies, and it is conjectured that an at tack is intended by a coup de-main on that city. BBSSIEHES had ordered, that all the Spaniards em ployed in his service should be paid up to the Ist of April, but the specie in the military chest not being found adequate to answer the demand, he directed that bills, in the nature of assignats, should be drawn, to the amount of half a million of rials. This mea sure was adopted on the approach of King Josertr. Beaman regulates every thing, exercises both civil and military authority, while the nominal Sovereign of the country publishes no decrees, nor issues a single order. It is confidently stated in the higher political -cir cles, that in the event of the continuance of the non intercouese with this country by the American Republic, his Majesty's Government have come to the determi nation of adopting a rigid retaliatory system, and the last dispatches to Mr. FOSTER are said to have an nounced this decibion of the Cabinet. Some more Paris Papers arrived yesterday, hut i their contents are unimportant. Marshal OUDINOT is shortly to return from Holland to Antwerp, where I BONAPA RT Eis shortly expected. Another 74 gun ship (the Trajan) has lately been launched at that port. A bag of letters horn Surinam arrived yesterday afternoon, but brought no particulars news. Jamaica papers inform us, that ?lesh attempts have been made to set fire to the town of Montego Bay.— " Notwithstanding the large rewards," says an article from thence, " whtels have been offered for the detec tion of any .peison concerned in the numerous at. tempts to set fire to this already in part desolated town, we regret to state that no discovery has yet been made : on the contrary, the wretches 'seem not yet to have abandoned their purpose, no less than two new attempts having been made lately ; the one on snore buildings between the South Creek and the pre mises occupied by Mr. Henry Isaacs ; the other to the northward of the Parade. Fortunately they were discovered before the flames had attained any consi derable heiglttond were extinguished without injury." Accounts from Avehangel state, that 18 ships had sustained great injury in a heavy gale i some of which were reduced to a cumpligt wreck. _ 1 ~,. , TILE KING. • t 66 winnow" eAsna t jart.

This. however, may be ascribed to the improved mode of culture, which we are happy to find is makieg rapid progress even in the most remote pa r t s et the Highlands. Barley harvest here is become gene ral, although thi weather fur some days past has been very unfavourable. Cattle still continue to fetch good prices at the different markets throughout the North, although the demand is not so brisk as at the beginning of the season. At Marymass fair of Ellon, held on Wednesday se'nnight, there was a great shew of fine cattle, many of which were sold, and maintained the highest prices. A small quantity of blirley, of this year's growth, was last week imported into Ayr, from Stranraer. The anneal timber market held at Aberdeen, on Thursday se'nnight, was fuller of timber than has been known for a number of years ; the prices were in consequence greatly reduced from the rates o f the preceding market, and a small quantity of timber re mained unsold. Tuesday se'nnight, John Kay. of Wooler, mason, was murdered, and robbed of his watch . , a pair of nevi shoes, and about five shillings in silver, on the toad between Wooler and Whittingham, near to Rosedon. The deceased had been working at Lilhurn, and left that place about two o'clock on Tuesday to, go to Rosedon. When the body was found on Wednesday morning, there were several stabs in die back and neck, and a laige hole in the head, something like the blow horn a pick-axe. A man was apprehended at Morpeth, on the Wednesday, On suspicion. Tuesday night, as a young man was crossing from the end of the Old Bailey to Giltspur-street, going to St. Bartholomew Fair, he was thrown down by the pale of a hackney-coach, and trampled under the horses feet, by which he was so much hurt as to be taken to the hospital in a dangerous st..te. Saturday, about one o'clock, a fire was discovered in a house on the north side of Jarnes/s.sqiiare, Edin- 6 burgh. The police, and several fire engines, soon at tended, and it was got out without occasioning much damage.—lt was occasioned by fire lodging in a ho. rieontal vent.
