There is a Royal Gazette established at Cape- Henry, the motto of which is the following quotation from Voltaire— , . The first King was a Soldier of fortune—whosoever serves his country well, has no need of ancestors !" THE EVENING STAR, LONDON. SATURDAY, AUGUST 24. ST. BARTMOLOIRW.—HoIiday at the Steck Exchange. His Majesty's ship MIRRRING, and the Marlborough packet, have arrived at Falmouth from Lisbon, with mails and passengers. The former in 26 "days, and the latter in 17. The dispatches from Lord WEL LING-rola and Mr. STEWART, which were given in the STAR of yesterday, came by the Marlborough, and we have this morning received same additional Lis bon Papers, but they contain no intelligence from the allied army of a mere recent date than that which we communicated yesterday. By the HERRING, Government have received Dis patches from Lord WELLINGTON, dated the 27th ult. The chief part of their contents were of course anti cipated by his Lordship's dispatch to the Regency, i s iven in our Paper o f yesterday,and they contain no additional intelligence of importance. Goods are now selling at Lisbon with a loss of 30 to 40 per cent. on the London prices, and great part of those goods are sold on credit. The following is extracted from the Lisbon Papers: ASTORGA. JULY 14. On the 2d inst. Don Julian Sanchez was in the vicinity of Zamora, and notwithstanding he insulted the garrison, they shut the gates, and would not come out. At four he returned to his usual post, at Ledesma. As Joseph wishes to give a pretence for his re turn into Spain, he has decreed a Meeting of the Cortes, (Fine Corks! a deliberative body surrounded by foreign bayonets, and without a will ! Extravagant im posture never fails to degenerate into stupidity) and the first deputies he has named, are of the provinces which his troops do not occupy. This nomination will be intelligence to send oft to Vance, to quiet the general commotion which obliged his brother to or der him to leave Paris in 24 hours, and France in three days. Before it shall arrive the French must ! know the state of our cause. How can they be duped with these absurdities It is the property of fools to think they deceive every body. Together with French papers which reached town yesterday, letters.have also been received from Paris. The following is a translation of one of them ; the in telligence contained in which, if it be true, possesses considerable interest : If it be interesting to you, my friend, I must in form you that the business of our Conclave has talciin a very favourable turn—that it is said the holy I'oPE will come here to swear allegiance to his Sovereign —that the affairs in Spain are in a very good train. Marshal MACDONALD informs me, that he expects to ,bie in possession of Figueras by the latter end of this month. There is, perhaps, a cloud rising from the north, hut which will soon be dissipated by the thun der of our cams )n." From other letters we learn, that three Priests have been sent to prison (their rank ear station in the Church is not mentioned) tor rtf , sing to take certain oaths of submission to BONAPARTE. They are probably Mem bet s of the Synod or Council lately assembled at Paris. A general belief prevailed in the French metropolis, that a war with Russia would take place. This, it will be seen, is alluded to in the letter above quoted. fewA more letters were received yesterday, that came by the Corsus frigate from Cadiz. We are sorry to find, that the whole of the specie for account of the Spanish Government, by the late arrival, does not exceed the sum of 1,600,000 dollars ; and the charge of the expedition under BLAKE has nearly ab sorbed the whole amount. The Merchants, who had lent their money in the confidence that it would be wean ncd on the receipt of the first remittance from onth America, are both disappointed and discon tented with this state of things. We received yesterday New-York Papers and Let ters to the 25th, and Boston Papers and Letters ; the former to the 30th, and the latter to the 31st ultimo; brought by the Galen, a merchant vessel, in 21 days. The papers and letters breathe rather an hostile spirit.. A letter from a Member of the Legislature speaks of the probability, in c,nsequence of the critical situa tion of the foreign concerns of the Republic, that Con gress will be re-assembled in October next. The Captain cf the Diligente, M. GRAssm, has been committed to prison for want of sureties, on the charge of violating a law of the United States, pro hibiting the fitting out of foreign privateers in Ameri can ports. The dispatches to our Ministry from Mr. Fosren maybe daily expected, as they were forwarded through Baltimore, to be transmitted to the packet, on the 19th ultimo. THE KING. ••••••• " WINDsoR CASTLE, AUGHTST 24. " There is no change in his MAissint's symptoms. (Signed) "H. HALFORD. "H. MILLIE. " W. HERRRDEN, "" R. WILLIS." We are concerned to state that the Duke of Sus sEx has experienced a relapse ; yesterday eyeaing he was considered in imminent danger : Dr. AINSLIE is in close attendance upon his Royal Highness. Tuesday last the Prince CASTELCICALA, the Sicilian Ambassador, and some other foreign Ministers, had interviews with the Marquis WELLESLEY, at the Foreign Office, and in the evening his Lordship left town for the country. Thursday last Mr. THOMAS SYDENHAM had a long interview with the Earl of LtvEitrooL, at the War- Office, in Downing-street. Colonel DRINKWATER yesterday presented to his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, the Sixteenth Report of the Commissioners of Military Inquiry, being on Ordnance Contracts, and on the depart- Irrients in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. . The HAWK, with her five prizes, are safe in harbour at Portsmouth. Sir CHARLES COTTON has hoisted his flag on board the VWERARLE, Sir HOME POPHAM, at Portsmouth, in which ship he proceeds to Plymouth, previous to his taking the command of the Channel Fleet. A letter was yesterday received from the Captain of the Comus frigate, which states, that he expects an or 4ler to come round to the River as high as Woolwich, to land the mother of the Duc DEL lsrawraDo, who is in a very sickly state, and incapable of sustaining a long journey by land. Don VALCENTE, Member of the Cortes for Seville,i is said to haveproposed, in a Secret Sitting of that body, that the Princess CARLOTTA of the Brazils should be appointed Regent in the absence of FERDINAND VII. Under the patronage of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, Mr. ALLEN has designed, and is now manufactwiug an entirely new Style of FunNeruits. The Representation of the Borough of Southwark is likely to be keenly contested on the nett election.— ' Mr. HENRY THORNTON, one of the present Members, and Mr. CALVERT, the Brewer, have already commen ced canvassing the inhabitants; and printed placards have appeared, in the name of Sir Inomns Tvicros, complaining of a premature advantage having been taken over him, before it could be known whether the present Parliament shall be dissolved. Mr. CALVERT dined on Thursday with 600 of the Electors, at the Grove-house, Camberwell. He professed himself a friend to the cause of Parliamentary Reform. Notice is given in the last Gasette of an intended ap plication to Parliament, for leave to make a new road from Deptford to Dartford, by means of an archway through the south side of Shooter's-hill.

The second heat was, a sportive one, and won by half a neck. A shocking accident h , fel Gift and her rider. After passing the winning post, she was thrown down by a horse in the Course and much injured, and the rider is in tt dangerous state. Thursday afternoon, as some children were at play in St. John's-street, Smithfield, a gentleman's servant on hopeback, On the full trot, rode over a girl about seven years of age. by which she was so shockingly hurt, as to be taken to the Hospital without hopes of recovery. A few evenings since, abont nine o'clock, two men I knocked at the door of the house of Mr. Brown, at Ma:denhead Thicket, which Mr. B. opened, and in: Istantly received a blow from a mallet on his forehead, which at the moment prevented him from making any resistance; he, however, retreated into the par , lour, which he fastened, and Mrs. Brown ran tip stairs and gave an alarm ; the thieves then robbed' the house of five candlesticks and a pair of shoes, and escaped. A reward of £lOO was instantly offered for their apprehension, which had the desired effect, and they ate both now in safe custody. Upon search ing their lodging, the candlesticks were found se creted in their bed ; and two valuable watches were I found sewed up in the chair-cover. A barbarous murder was perpetrated a few days ago, in the vicinity of Gort, on one Flin, of Thomond gate, Limerick, who had been engaged as a stone-cut ter on the new buildings at Tierlohan; being a stran ger in that part of the country, he had been looked upon as an object of jealousy, and was, on his return from the fair of Goa, on the above evening, way-laid by some inhuman monsters, who committed this hor rid deed in the presence of his distracted wife, who, af ter witnessing the dreadful transaction, was treated with such violent abuse, that she was, on the following morning, scarcely recovered enough to see his remains conveyed to Limerick. PUGILISTIC CAMPAIGN.—The field of battle, and time of fighting the anticipated contest between Crib, and Molineux, are events in which the patrons and amateurs in the science of boxing feel as much anxiety at the politicians are interested in the affairs of the Peninsula. The scene of action is fixed for Notting. hamshire, and it appears to be understood that the combatants, with their partizans, will fix on a position in the park of Bellevue, the domain of the Duke of Rutland, and the 24th of September is the day fixed for the battle to be fought on. Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, a pitched battle was fought between two young lads about 17 years of age, the one a sailor, and the other a black, b'th lately arrived in a ship from the %Vest Indies. The battle took place in a field near Poplar. They were seconded by two shipmates. At setting-to bets were two to one in favour of the black, he hav ing most strength ; but the former being very reso lute, although much beaten, would not yield, and by a blow he gave his antagonist in the face, which occasioned blood to issue from his nose and mouth, he obliged the black to relinquish the conquest, when victory was declared in favour of true English courage. THE ARMY: A Board of General Officers was held on Thurs day, at the Commander in Chief's Office, Th the Horse Guards, which was attended by the Dukes of Yong., Kizer, and CAMBRIDGE, Earl Hattie°tam Generals CALVERT, BROWNRIEG, &c. The business was some arrangement respecting the Military College. On Wednesday the Cork Militia arrived at Ports mouth, to do duty, from Ireland. They came over in the same transports which conveyed the Surrey Mi litia, commanded by Colonel FREDERIC, who are to march to Mullingar. The Cork regiment is a fine body of men, and makes a nobly appearance. The Tippe rary are immediately to follow the Cork regiment to this country, and we may daily look for other regi ments of this tine body of men. The measure will be of the greatest service to the country. Sir RICHARD BROOKE'S regiment, the Northampton Militia, goes over to Ireland in the transports which brought the Cork; and Lord BROOKE'S regiment, the Warwick, and others, are to follow from Portsmouth. Embarkations are, at the same time, going on - from Plymouth, Bristol, Margate, Ramsgate, it:. of se veral English Militia Regiments, for Ireland. The Dumfries-shire Militia, now at Woodbridge, are to embark at Harwich for Ireland. The following Militia regiments embarked yester day from Bristol for Ireland : the Radnor, Glamor gan, Pembroke, and North Hants. The Nottingham Militia, now at Portsmouth, are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark at the shortest notice. The threepri vates of the Royal Horse Guards ( Blue) who were thrown from their horses at the review on Winkfield Plain, last Wednesday, are in a fair way of recovery. The great depot of heavy cavalry being established at Canterbury, that able Cavalry Officer, , General RAY, will be stationed there. The depot of the lldi Regiment of Foot, under the command of Captain D. MACARTHUR, about 150 strong, principally composed of fine young men, vo lunteers from the Irish Militia, marches from Exeter on Monday, the 36th inst. for Berryhead B irracks.— We understand that above 100 volunteers are now on their way from Ireland to join this depot. Tuesday and Wednesday, about one hundred and twenty or thirty men, belonging to the 7th battalion of the German Legion, halted at Brighton, from Portsmouth, where they had been landed from Por tugal, on their way for their clepot at Bexhill. EATFLE OF TALAVERA. • The Officers of the British Army, who were wound ed in that memorable, battle, have voted a Silver Vase and Cover, value tme hundred and twenty Guineas, to Staff-Surpm HIGGINS. It has just been :• cimpleted by Messrs. Runnritit. tsd BRUM, and bears the following in,criotion To -litataatits Htoctins, Esquire, Staff Surgeon, To whose care the Hospitals at Talavera wers.entrusted, When the English were obliged, notwithstanding their Victory, * To leave them exposed to a vanquished Enemi, Tan Cur Is presented By the BRITIS ki OPPICERS, • Who, forming a part of that melancholy charge, Were deeply impressed by the unshaken constancy With which he offered up his liberty and expectations, At the shrine of humanity and public duty. They indulge a hope, That this Cup may sweeten and perpetuate The charm of self-approbation, And ever he a memento of this truth, That although the pride and pomp of war May belong exclusively to the warriors, Yet in all mankind, To follow the line of duty, through dlEculty and danger, With undeviating rectitude, Is true glory. The following is an extract of a letter from an Offi. cer on board the NORTHUMBERLAND, 71 , , dated Qui beron Bay, August 14, Isll We are at present lying here with the Royal George, 110, Abercrombie, 71, Amazon frigate, and some smaller vessels. The Amazon arrived here last evening from °lf L'Orient, and brings an account of a boat having deserted to her a few days ago from the French Admiral's ship le Helo, lying in that port; there were four Danes and five Swedes in her. These men state, that le Helo is the best manned ship the enemy have there, and she is little more than half manned. The enemy have two sail of the line in the Rochefort outer road, and two more ready to drop down the next spring tides ; we can see four sail of the line and some corvettes apparently ready for sea, and they have three sail of the line building. The Danes, Swedes, and other foreigners on board the French ships are very much dissatisfied, and eagerly embrace every opportunity to desert to our shipping off the coast." A daughter of Captain AIDES, of Park-lane, three years and a Half old, was run over yesterday in cros sing into the Park, by a butcher's horse galloping very fast. The child was with a female servant, who had let go her hand at the moment the horse was passing. From the number of fractures it was thought the child could not survive many hours. SCOTS VETERAN.—Thera is now living in the vit. lage of Delnies, in the parish of Nairn, in the full pos session of all his faculties, a veteran named John Reid, who may perhaps be reckoned the oldest sol dier in Great Britain, he having nearly completed hi hundredth year. He entered the second battalion of the. Scots Royals upwards of 80 years ago and fcught at the battles of Dettingen, Fontenoy, Walls, and Culloden. He served also through the whole of the American war, and was present at the sieges of Que bec and Ticonderago, where he was severely wound ed by a musket-ball, which entered his thigh, and which it was found impossible to extract. This ball he means to bequeath as a legacy to one of his sons,, of whom he has several, An begotten in lawful wed lock, although he married at the age of 70, and all whom are serving their king and country. Such has been the uniform regularity of this highland veteran's mode of living, that he has only been twice fuddled in the course of his long life, viz. at the period of his inlistment, and when the nests of his Majesty's coro nation arrived at Halifat, in Nova Scotia, where the Royals then lay. He is, moreover, very cheerful, and has an uncommonly retentive memory, and, with great good sense, joined to no small portion of wit, all the live long day he talks of wat."

Arrived his Majesty's ship SARACEN, with 28 sail of Jamaicamen under convoy, which are sailed for the Riven—Wind S. E. The following is an extract of a letter r e ceived at Plymouth through the Transport-Office, from Mr. ROBERT FURZE, Midshipman, late belonging to the SEMIRAMIS frigate ; who, as our readers will recollect, was some time since put on board an American ves sel, to bring her in to Plymouth ; but four of his men (out of six) having joined the crew of the American, they seized Mr. FURZE and the other two in the night, bound them hands and feet, and set them adrift in an open boat, 300 miles from land, in the Western Ocean: " Brest, Juty 19, 111111. " No doubt you will be surprised at the date of this from Brest. Being very lucky in the Semiramis, last cruize in the way of taking prizes, I was sent from her on the 6th instant, to take charge of an American brig, which Captain RICHARBSON detained, having with me six men from the Semiramis, as also five be longing to the brig—the Captain, mate, and three boys.—Out of six that came with me, two were Ame ricans t these, and two others, of our crew, having most of their friends living at New-York, joined with the Captain of the brig to take her from me, on the 9th instant, about 12 o'clock, binding me and two more with cords, hands and feet. The next morn ing they hoisted out the long boat, giving us our cloaths and some bread and water; still keeping out hands tied, put us into the boat, which was then very leaky, and sent us adrift in the Western Ocean, about 300 miles from any land. " One of my men, whose name is RAWLINSO)r, Up tied me with his teeth, which was the means of getting us all free.—Not knowing the distance exactly, at the time they let us go, I did not know what course to shape; the wind being W.S.W. I shaped my course E.S.E. supposing it to be as near as I could guess for the Eddystone ; but unfortunately for me and the others, the first land we made was Ushant : the wind then blowing very fresh, and we in an open boat, and a lee-shore, thought it best for our safety to run into a small island called Morlain, 'after being six days drifting about in the Western Ocean, almost dead with fatigue, and nothing to eat, our bread being spoiled with the salt water. On our landing we were immediately taken prisoners, but exceedingly well treated. After stopping one night we were marched to Brest; where at present we remain in the Hospi tal, and expect, in four or five days, to be condu . cted. 200 leagues inland, where I shall be on parole. " I forgot to state, that at the time we were rind, we were asleep, having but a short time previously left the deck. Those who succeeded in the watch on deck, were those that were bribed. There was one of our Lieutenants then in a brig close to us, ut he did not see us bear up, or otherwise I think he would have made sail after us. " There are cartels arriving here generally once a month, with sick and infirm prisoners. I am sorry to add, there is not the least hopes of my return to England, unless it comes a peace, of which there is not any prospect at present." of Maur:, AUGUST f2i --The Catholics of the county of Kerry assembled on Saturday, the last day of t'he Assizes, and, after a number of dignified resolut'o appointed several Gentlemen to prepare a Pert and communicate with the General Committee of he Catholics of Ireland.
