made to the Pedroehes de Cordoba, extending to the fountain Orejunc. Jots* 4.—A requisition has been made in all haste of carts and horses, to send off to-night a convoy Of provisions to Sonit. Two hundred wounded cavalry have entered by"the gate of Macarena, many of them on foot, and others en asses. This morning the French invalids have been removed, and such as are least disabled, obPged to resume their arms ; relative to which there has been great altercation among them selves; they have also received the Spanish corps, but there are in them but very few soldiers. The Governor has told the Officers that he will furnish those with passports who wish to go to the army, but they are not well satisfied with the service, and it is not expected that any one will go. Accounts have been received that Joseph Bona rate arrived at Bayonne on the 9th ult. and that far from being received with obsequiousness he was near being insulted. He did not stay longer than noon, and then continued his journey to Paris ; he was little else than the laughi::,; stock of his attendants.— Other particulars are likewise related, which indicate the general disposition of the public mind in that count ry. The son of the Marquis of Grannia, who from a commandant, which he was, has been reduced to be the lowest soldier of the army, has been expelled the service, and conducted to Cartuja, without its being *flown for what reason. Chabarria, the Commissary of Police, has likewise been dismissed, because he wished to steal more than the French. Cavalry sol diers, dismounted, wounded, and dispersed, cont'nue to enter by the gate of Majorena. Besides the wounded in tne battle of Albuera, many others have been conducted to Carmona, Eeija, and Cordoba. In Cartuja there are .500, and many die daily. The garrison of Seville does not amount to 1000 men; 700 compose that of Cartuja, u•here they have planted a great number of pieces of artillery, most of them pointed against the city. CADIZ, JUNE 8. 'Our accounts from Catalonia comedown to the 15th ult. The Marquis of Campo Verde, after hav an provided the Castle of Figueras with the requisite supplies, had returned by sea with a part of his troops to Tarragona, where the grebtest confidence and spirit reigned ; and they considered as rash Suchet's project of besieging it with the few forces he had under his command. The Caste of San Fernando, supplied with provisions for six months, and garrisoned with 8000 men, commanded by Lhe brave Erolas, was in a condition to despise any attempt whatever of the enemy. JCNE 14.—1 t appears that it cannot be doubted! that the 9th corps of the French army, under the command of Dronet, is Coming to reinforce Soult.i It is known that, on the 29th of May he left Toledo for Andalusia with 6000 men, but so infirm and out of condition, that they ought not to be reckoned at more than two thirds of that number. This is the same corps and the same General who tlarched uh reinforce Massena on his retreat from Portugal. Massena derived no great advantage from his aid, and, all circumstances considered, it is pro bable Soult will derive as little. MADRID, MAY 18. The agitation of the French, particularly that of the Ministers, who know the state of affairs in Anda lusia, continues, and it is much feared that the French forces in that province will not be able to effect its junction with the Army of the Centre (so they call that in Madrid and its neighbourhood); in conse quence of its shortness of numbers, and the nume rous parties of Patriots who overrun the country. In consequence of this, they are fortifying the right of the Tagus. The Henry, merchant vessel, has arrived in six weeks and two days from the Brazils. A Gen tleman, who came passenger in her from Rio de Janeiro, states, that, at the time of his departure, se •eral British ships of war were preparing to saii for Monte Video, in consequence of a representation hav ing reached Admiral DE CoLxer•, relative to some outrageous conduct on the part of the Governor of that place, Deo, by whose orders several British subjects, found on board two Spanish ve..isels belong ing to Buenos Ayres, had been seized and publicly executed at Monte Video. Affairs arc beginning to . wear a very serious aspect in that quarter, on ac count of the strength and obstinacy of the contending 'patties. 'ln addition to the reinforcement of ships under or ders for North America, three stout frigates are to be forthwith sent to reinforce our squadron off Spanish And Portuguese America, to act as circumstances 33327 require. Sir Joss.px YORKE sailed yesterday from Spithead for the Coast of America. The CANOPUS is expected home from the Mediter- I ',newt in about two months The POMONE frigate is also ordered homt from the 1 above place. The 10th of May the British fleet was still off t 'Toulon. Sir J. Ducxworm hoisted his flag on board the ANTELOPE, at Plymouth on the 4th. He goes to Newfoundland. Sir JOHN LADE lies dangerously ill at his house in Berkelq-street, Portman-square, having, on his re turn from walking in the Park with Lady LADE on Tbuuday, burst a blood-vessel. THE ARMY. Yesterday eight officers and 150 rank and file, DR• der 'the command of Captain Jameson, marched from Colchester for Portsmouth, in order to embark and join the 2cl battalion, 4th regiment, now at Gibraltar. In consequence of the late Brevet promotion, a change is to be made in several of the districts of Ire land. Lieutenant-General Sir CHARLES Asona, is to succeed Lieutenant-General CAMPBELL, at London derry, to command the Northern district. Major- General LE MARSHANT, ANSON, BARLOW, and BUR NEM, are appointed to the Irish Staff. The Armide, 44, is appointed convoy to the trans. ports ready to sail from Plymouth, with the 4th. and '9th dragoons, for Portugal ; they will sail as soon as their store of forage is taken on board the transports. Three hundred of the 2d battalion of the 40th re giment, with a proportion of Officers, have been or dered to proceed to join the Ist battalion, now in Portugal. They were to march from Clonmel on the 28th ult. The 15th Light Dragoons, commanded by the Earl of WALDEGRAVE, have marched from Hampton Court for Rumford, in Essex. The Royal Meath Militia quartered in Cork, have volunteered their services to any part of the United Kingdom. The South Mayo Regiment of Militia, quartered at 4tratakne, under the command of Col. BROWNE, have volunteered their services to any part of the United Kingdom. The Wicklow Militia, quartered at Killarney, the city Cork Militia, quartered at Enniscorthy have vo lunteered their services to England. The North Gloucester goes to Kent, the South Gloucester is doing duty over the French prisoners at Dartmoor ; and the Denbigh and Radnor Militias have received orders to march to Bristol. An article in one of the late French papers asserts, that the British Government is in the habit of dis charging foreigners, who have spent the greater part of their life, and are worn out in our service; landing these miserable invalids on the Continent, and there leaving them to shift for themselves. On this we will only observe, that so far from there being any foundation for this charge, an Act of Parliament has passed this very Session for the benefit of this class of men here alluded to. By the Act in question, Government is empowered to give foreign soldiers, on their discharge, a sum of money, if they prefer having it so, equivalent to the value of their pensions. In other words, Government purchases their annuities at what they are worth in the mat ket. By this hu mane provision the foreign soldier, if he thinks pro per, is enabled to return to his own country, with a sum of money in his possession sufficient to establish hini in some way of providing for himself. Nor is this all. Government takes care to furnish these poor men with the means of conveyance to their own homes, wherever that is practicable. Yesterday, at a quarter past twelve, his MAJESTY came on the Terrace for his morning's exercise, and walked till near one, when he returned into the Cas tle to his dinner. His MAJESTY was accompanied by Dr. WILLIE ; none other of the Doctors attended him in his walking exercise. Yesterday morning, Princesses AEA:VI:STA and So. Pim, Dukes of KENT and CAMBRIDGE, took an airing l i on horseback through Windsor Great Park. The QUEEN and Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY took an tiring to Frogmore Lodge. Thursday, the infant daughter of the Duke and Duchess of RUTLAND was baptised by the Archbishop lof CANTERBURY, at their Graces' house in Lower Grosvenor-street. After the ceremony, a superb din ner was given to a large party of distinguished fa shionables. At Covent-Garden Theatre, last night, Mrs. Jost- DAN performed Violante, in the Wonder, to a brilliant .audience, and seldom has that great actress proved ,more successful. C. KEMBLE, as Don Felix, was also highly respectable, and the whole of the performance went off with great eclat. Yesterday morning the LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs went in state from the Mansion House, accompanied by the Aldermen, Recorder, &c. to St. Margaret's hill, Southwark, where his Lordship held a Court of Conservancy for the county of Stirrey, and afterwards proceeded to the Swan Tavern, Westminster-bridge Road, where a Court ofConservancy was held for Mid dlesex. They then took water at Westminster-stairs in their state barges, and proceeded towards Richmond, where they went on board the navigation bargeband partook of an elegant dinner provided for the occasion. An excellent band continued playing several martial and other airs at intervals. His Lordship, in the evening, visited Vauxhall Gardens on his return home, and appeared highly gratified with the entertainments of that delightful place of amusement. On Thursday se'nnight a meeting took place a few miles from Galway, in consequence of a previous dis agreement, between JOHN FRANCIS HUTCHINSON, Esq 1 of Galway, and ROBERT PERSSE, jun. Esq., of Rox borough, the latter gentleman seconded by ROBERT D'Aitev, of Woodville, Esq. and the former by PATRICK BROWNE, Esq. of Galway. MT. PERSSE having discharged a shot, happily without effect, and Mr. HUTCHINSON having fired his pistol in the air, a reconciliation immediately took place. Notwithstanding the hostility of the two nations, English and French fishermen have, during the pre sent season, caught mackerel on the same bank, with out interrupting one another. It is not unusual for the English boats to purchase the fish caught by the French. The Deputies from Spanish America, whose arriva, we mentioned yesterday, will, after their audience with the Spanish Ambassador in London, immedi ately leave this country via Portsmouth or Plymouth, for the Cortes, at Cadiz. The Niemen and Fortunie frigates sailed from Cork in company, on Saturday last, on a cruize, in conse quence of some suspicion entertained by Admiral TuottNnonouou, that three French frigates which had 1 taken out troops to the Mauritius before its capture i Iwas known, were on their return to France. The Admiral's conjectures upon this point justify his vigi-', ilance, and be has-committed the service of intercept ing the Fiecchmen to two ships fully competent to the duty. The Niemen is, during this cruize, com manded by Capt. YoUNG, Admiral THORNEOKOUGH e i \ f lag Captain: Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR having obtainedi leave of absence for two months. Captain VANSit.

WORDSWORTH V. CAINS. This was an action brought against the Defendant, a poor sailor boy, for board, clothes, and money, lent him by the Plaintiff. It appeared from the evi dence that this boy had met with an accident at sea, for which he was sent first to Saint Bartholomew's Hospital and afterwards to Guy's Hospital, and, when recovered, he was admitted to board with the Plaintiff, who had also advanced him money, and paid for several articles of clothes for him out of elle. rity. The Plaintiff was then very infirm, and, not having convenience to lodge him at his house, he was accommodated with a lodging in the house of a son of the Plaintiff, who occasionally employed the De fendant in going with him to the country , to receivo money at an Exhibition of 4030 Automaton Fi. gures, for which he was to receive 16.6 d. per day. The board charged was at the rate of 12s. per week, from the 31st of December, 1808, to the 18th of Ja nuary, 1809, and, with the other advances, amount. ed to RIG. The Defendant at length got the situa tion of a Clerk at a Waggon Office, and thereupon this action was brought against him. It was alledged, in defence, that the defendant had received these several accommodations' from the plaintiff in consideration of his rendering himself use ful to him during his illness, and going errands ; but, upon a letter being proJuced and read, written by the defendant to the plaintiff, he acknowledged his responsibility for the clothes, and several sums advanced—so that the Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, gave a verdict for the Plaintiff, for ei'4, and expences, 40s. A letter dated the lbth of March, from Santa Fe, mations, that the disturbances in the centre of South America had subided, that the country was in a state of comparative repose, and that commercial inter course was beginning to be re-established. By the advrces from another quarter we are led to believe, that rlthough a new Junta has been formed in Carthagena, it's object is to correct the abuses of the former Government, and not to throw off their allegiance to Old Spain. Ihe letters and Papers by the Jamaica Mail of yesterday are to the 28th of May. They contain no news of political importance, with the exception of complaints of the depredations made by the cruizers of CIIRISTOPHI, the black King of Hayti. The schooner Susannah, from Portland to Port-au-Prince, had been plundered on the north side of the island of Guanaba by a boat with 15 men, who took from her a quantity of provisions and cash, and ordered her to Gonaives, within the territory of Chriitophe. Another vessel from Port Royal was also taken off Beacr, and sent into Cape Francois. The dif ferent ports in St. Domingo, we are told, stiU con• tinue to send forth piratical ships, manned with des peradoes, ready to commit every aggression. -4 French privateer, with a motley crew from that island, was off the American coast. A fleet of merchantmen, consisting of 101 sail, ein• der convoy of the HEBB frigate, of 32 guns, Me m= brig, of 18 guns, and the HYAENA store-ship, of 24 guns, left Negril on the 20th of May, for England, and their arrival may be shortly expected.

The Kingston Catgut, of the 18th May, states, that a Comet had been visible for some time there. From the imperfect observations that, were taken of it, it appeared to be nearly midway between the constella. tion Orion and the sign Gemini. A slight ...hock (f an earthquake had been felt at Kingston, but had done only trifling damage. All has been hurry and bustle among the Ame. rican ships at Plymouth, for several days past, for fear of an embargo. The American ship Harry Moore sailed on the 3d, with American passengers, consisting daffy of masters of those American vessels con demned lately in the Court of Admiralty. Several transports, under convoy of the Sr. Fro. aetixofrigate, arrived at Cork on Thursday se'nnight, destined to receive troops for Spain. Fairlop Fair commenced yesterday ; it was nume rously attended—several parties partook of a coldeol lation under the branches of the b i venerable oak. The Active, from Boston, was lost near Port Royal, Jamaica, the lith May—part of her cargo is saved. " ~~ t I 1
