Marshal Bassicaes is said to have united neatly 15,000 men on the Esla. The Frenth cavalry have retired from the neighbourho-d of the Guadiana, in the direction of Fuente del Canto's and Vilalba.— The greater part of the allied army has quitted its cantnaments in the Alentejo. They have crossed the Tagus, and are in march towatds Castile. The ad quarters moved, on the 31st from Portalegie to Cas tello I3ranco, and the light division has advanced in the direction of Pennarnacer and Sabugal. The Spa nish cavalry lately employed in the Condado de Nie bla has been directed to join General Casra.Nos. Marshal Sow.? quitted Seville on the 20th, head of 6000 men, taking the road for Cordova. Accounts from Elvas state, that Marshal MAR 110ET has moved from the Tagus, and is marching northvrards, in confortnity to the reported movements of Lord WELLINGTON. r ;t the these settlements, we ..ear that, at the instancy WELLesuiv, a Flemish Noblernan has been ap p ~ , i iited to snersede Governor Emo at the Rio de la Plata, whose intemperance and severity, instead of retardinty., have greatly accelerated the progress of the Revolution. The Ann and Maria has arrived from the River s Vale, from whence we have intelligence as late as to the 17th June. From this source we learn, that on the day preceding, the fortress of Monte Video had surrendered to the assailants. A short time before, the partizans of am had made a sortie, when they were defeated and driven back within the walls. It is supposed that ate, and his principal adherents, had effected their escape by water, but this particular is not distinctly ascertained. Ministers have received dispatches from Lord STRANGFORS, dated the 7th ult. from Rio Janeiro, confi, ming the above statement. The operations in the interior of South America are scarcely less interesting than those of the maritime boundaries. Two dispatches, of a Chief of the name of BARTHOLOMEW ZARATA, announce the capture, by the Revolutionists, of the towns of Cualeguay, leguasihie, and Arrajo de la China. It seems that the same skirmishing warfare which has been adopted in the mother country, is now resorted to by the friends of the ne-v order of things in the colonies, but with much more success, from the feeble means of opposi tion'possessed by their enemies, the extent of whose power is in no proportion to the violence of their rage, and the keenness of their disappointment. We this morning received Dublin papers of Tues day last. They contain the Resolutions voted at the Catholic Meetings of Kilkenny and Galway, which were held last week. They are similar to those which have been voted at other nieetingsthroughout Ireland. Lord FINGAL is said to have called a meeting of the Catholics of the county of Meath.—Mr. To Jotors has addressed a letter to the Catholics of the coenty of Down, calling upon them to appoint Managers to watch over their interests. Sotne extracts from the Spanish Papers, brought by the Comus, will be found in another part of our Paper. The intelligence from Cadiz brought by the CoMus, respecting the operation of the Spanish armies, is of en interesting description. General BLAKE has set out on a new expedition. He has under him 5000 men, and a considerable train of artillery. He waited the arrival at Cadiz of a detachment of the army of B.ALLASTEROS, which sailed for Ayamonte, and he himself departed, taking the direction of the Gut of Gibraltar, on the 29th ultimo. No daub c is enter tained that he is gone to join the forces under General Yams, on the western frontiers of Murcia, denorhi stated the Third Army. The 47th regiment had returned to Cadiz from its abortive attempt to assist in the relief of Tarragona. There is a farther account brought from Valencia, too, tithe fall of this unhappy place, but which adds nothing to the particulars with which we were before acquainted. The enemy are-said to have lost twelve hundred Mien in a sally niade by the garrison of Figneiras t if 30, the fall of that place may, perhaps, be delayed a while: we fear, however, the event must ultimately take place. it will be observed, that Marshal MACDONALD, having murdered a*Spanish Aid-de-Camp, who he bad taken prisoner, the Governor of Figueiras reta liated by putting five Freneh officers to death, and -sending a sisth to MACDONALD to inform him of the balust consequences which had resulted from his bar rity. DUBLIN, Atm= 19.—Yesterday being the last day for receiving the votes, the arrival of the maili from Holyhead was anxiously looked for by both of the Candidates. It did not arrive until a late hour last night, and brought the votes of Lords MuIRA, BARRYNORE ) mid RIVERSDALE. for Lord LEITRIM, and none for Lord GOSFORD.

In order to cover her designs, she has a quantity of deals on her deck, by which she deceives the vessels passing that way, and makes them easy prizes.

Arrived this day the Chesterfield packet, Captain Glen°Nn, with mails from the Leeward Islands ; left St. Thomas's the 16th July. On the 7th and Bth of July, while the packet lay at St. Kitt's, there was a most dreadful hurricane, and the following appears to be the injury done. The following is the only account we have yet re ceived, 'out from It, it is apprehended, that the more distressing accounts are to follow. Sr. Tatiasas's, JULY 16.—1 t blew a gale ton Sundt, the 7th inst. from the N. W.—W. and S.

We hear that 40 vessels, chiefly American, are on shove at St. Bartholomew.—A large English ship, two Americans, and S 5 small vessels, are on shore at Atrigua. The Vigilant, --,was seen at sea 20th ult. without any per son on board. The Sussex Is on shore at St. Kitts. An account of several other vessels has been received. At Martinique—Four or five sail. At Antigua—His Majesty's ship Geotke lost her mleen-mast, and threw several of her guns overboard; his Majesty's brig GUACHAPIN, of 12 guns, sunk at her moorings; several large merchantmen, and about 30 small vessels, on shore; the ship St. Andrew, bilged, and cargo lost ; the Braganza and Speculation, on shore, but expected to be got off. At sit. Kin's—The ship Sussex, party loaded, totally lost-•- Captain drowned.. At Nevls—The slip Rachael, totally lost.

The Itictissonn gun-vessel, Lieutenant BADTRO• LOAIIiW, under the direction of Captain Jones, in the . Tt:scAN sloop, discovered off' Malaga, on the 14th of June, a French privateer in the rear of a convoy of above sixty vessels. After a chace of some hours she was run on shore, the wind blowing directly in, causing a heavy surf, and at low water, a few miles to the westward of Malaga. The privateer floated em the return of the tide, which also enabled the RICHMOND by James Dowues The purse was contested by three watermen in three heats, and won by JOHN CRIPPS. The beauty and fashion of Richmond, and its neigh bourhood, lined the banks of the river, which, with the numerous boats on the water, and the attendance of bands of music, grettly contributed to render the scene agreeable. 'The day concluded with much festivity. A/trivial Rown4o-IVfann.—Yesterd ty the Stand gate Subscription Prizes, given for the emulation of youths in rowing, were contended for by six candi dates, under nineteen years of age, being ap prentices to watermen. The prizes were, a gold lacel hat, .jacket, and trowsers, to the first; a plain hat and .jacket to the second; a jacket to the third ; and hand some presents in money to the three next candidates. The match was determined by four heats, as the win ners of the first, second, and third heats were only to contend for the prizes in the fourth heat. At two o'clock the six youths took to their Oars-at Westmin ster-bridge, and proceeded round a boat moored off Lambeth-church, returned down the Surrey shore to the bath below Westminster-bridge, and then through the bridge to Standgate, which they reached in the to:lowing order : Edward Perry, light-blue. I James Cook, red. Richard Rose, purple. Edward Pringle, green. Thomas Masterman, white. Robert Nelson, yellow. The second heat was well contested, and obtained by RICHARD Rose, with only a boat's lenttth. The third heat was g tined by James COOK. The three first winners then started for the fourth heat, which displayed the abilities of Coeur in rowin t . Ict:pt in close order during the whole distance.
