counts reeelved through several other channels of the discontent in the interior of France pioduced by the conbcription and the continuation of the war. VALENCA D'ALCANTRA, JULY 26. Marmones corps continuesin Placentia andits neigh bourhood. By intelligence lately received from Cas tile and Ga lava, it appears Savinil has surprised the garrisons of Simancas and Tordesitha ; that the head quarters of the 6th army was, on the Ist July, in Ma gaz (in thevicinity of Astorga ) ; and that the advan ced parties were pushed ffrw•ard as far as benavente ; that in Leao there was a garrison of 3500 meri t and that the desertion from the enemy continued. By the Princess Charlotte which brought the above intelligence, several communications of a private na ture have been received at the Government Offices ) but no public dispatches. An Anholt Mail arrived this morning, but as dour readers will perceive from the following extracts, it contains no intelligence from the North of Europe, from which any inferences can be drawn respecting the dispositions of the Northern Powers. ELSINEUR, AUGUST 6. The price of all kinds of grain is rising here every day, and it is to be feared that it will continue to rise much higher. VIENNA, JUNE 24. Count hteuperg has left this city for Stockholm, where he is appointed Ambas•ador.—That the Stadt holder, Count Surau, is appointed to a post of greater consequence, appears to be a mere report. —We have frequent tempests of thunder and lightning, which often do much damage; and for several weeks past have been without any rain. COLBERG, JULY to. Two days ago two English frigates, each of 36 guns, appeared in our Roads.—Nearly opposite to our Strand Batteries were seven coasting vessels, which were sailing to the eastward of Rugenwalde. Preparations were immediately made to go out and meet them, but they had already observed the MA taouvres of the frigate, and got safe under the pro tection of the Strand Batteries at Wolfsberg, by which the enemy was prevented from chasing them farther. The frigates then steered away to the north east, and have not since re-appeared. The trading vessels then made sail and passed our harbour, on their way to Stettin. These seven coasters must therefore be grateful to our Government for the mea sure taken for the defence of the coast of Colberr whereby their liberties and property are secured. ORO PILOTAGE, JULY 28. In this district, on the 21st inst. an English ship tf wSt got a•ground ; by the assistance of the other English ships they got out so many of the guns and other materials, that after two days incessant labour sic again got afloat. Had it not been calm weather during the whole time that they were employed, it is Inost probable that the ship must have been lost. She bad previously captured seven Russian Merchant ves sels off Sandhammcr. STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. Another bag of letters from Anholt has just been received, bringing papers llown, to the " 0 - they con. tain, however, not a word of political intelligence— not a word relative to the Ttarks and Russians—nor to any movements of troops whatever. The Hamburgh Correspondent of the 6th contains a decree by the Prhace of Eckmuhl, the Governor. General of the Hanseatic departments, commandinv every person holding any property, to make a decla ration of the same if in Hamburgh , before the 10th August, if any other place of the :32d military divi sion, before the 25th August.—This decree is dated SOtla July. The same Paper says, , g the marriage of the Archduke Charles with the Princess Amelia of Baden, is now more talked of than ever." LUBECK, JULY 26. z --- On the 6th inst. arrived here six French gun-boats, under the command of Commodore Guyot, which put to sea again on the 10th inst. No Merchant ves sels have arrived or departed from this port from the 25th June to the 23d July. It is said that 120 ships are lading in France for this country, with licences from BONAPA HT?. A letter from Bilboa, of the 13th, says, that the French had only a garrison of 300 men there, but a large force at Victoria. A letter from an officer of the rank of Captain, in the army of Gengal CASTANOS, says, that his brother officers and their companies are without pay; and that he is applying to be transferred to another service, where the just remuneration for his public duties will be punctually discharged. /. Letters from Alicant to the 21st ult. state, " that, great alarm prevailed in the whole of the kingdom of ! "Valencia, owing to the general expectation entertain ed, that General Souchet was marching. at the bead of 35,000 men to effect a reduction of that province and Murcia ; that many of the wealthy inhabitants had already begun to ship off their property fur the Islands of Minorca and Majorca ; and that a general panic pervaded the whole province." Other letters state what islar more probable, " that Souchet had no mire than from 15 to 17.000 men under his command, with which he was entering that province by the side of Catalonia, while Soult, at the head of the army of Granada, with the reinforcements which he carried with him from Estremadura, making in the whole 15,000 men, intended to enter by the sit* of Murcia, and would afterwards proceed to form a junction with Souchet.

It k in his Ma.revrv's mental state that no altera tion is at present perceptible. With respect to his bodily health, we are tejoiced to hear, from high au thority, that it is in a Much More encouraging and satisfactory state than, under all the circumstances, could have been expected. Six of Dr. Wtwe's men attend his MAJESTY.— Two of them take their waiting in rotation when he is calm, but when otherwise they are called in, if found necessary. The PRINCE REGENT is not expected in town for a day or two. Yesterday afternoon the Duke of Svsszx was consi dered rather better. Yesterday the Duke nzi. INFANTADO had a long in terview with the MarquisWELLESLEY at Apsley House. In the evening the Marquis entertained his Excellency, at a splendid dinner, at which were present Admiral APooncA, the Chevalier DE SOUZA (the Portuguese Ambassador,) softie of the Cabinet Ministers, Mr. R. WELLESLEY, Captain COCKBURN, of the Royal Navy, and several other Gentlemen. Lieutenant-Colonel VAUGHAN, of the late Royal Invalids, is appointed Governor of the Fort near Fish guard, in Pembrokeshire, vice VAUGHAN, deceased. Mr. SMITH, who was formerly designated, when an actor, as Gentleman SMITH, has lately had the misfor tune of rupturing a blood.vessel, at Bury St. Edmund's, but is now much recovered. Friday the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Coun cil of Edinburgh, unanimously admitted Sir W. SID NEY SMITH, a Burgess and Guildbrother of that city, in testimony of the sense they entertain of the services he has rendered to his King and Country. After which, a marble bust of his Majesty was voted for the Council Chamber, in commemoration of the Jubilee. Four young Ladies of Trnro went through the re ligious ceremonial of immersion last Sunday se'nnight by the Rev. SOLOMON YOUNG, in the presence of a great number of spectators. In the late battle at Horsemonger-lane, between the discharged debtors and their creditors, it appears that the former had certainly the best of it, for— they fought it out. The curious bond trial between Sir FRANCIS BUR DETT and Mr. SCOT r will shortly be heard again before the Court of Session in Scotland. Omnium was yesterday done at a premium. A purchase having been made at premium for the payment, the Members of the Stock Exchange greeted the bargain with three cheer:. BREAM—There being no. Court of Aldermen this day, the Lord Mayor, after inspecting the returns, ordered it to rise One Penny per Peck. LYCEUM.—After the Grand Operatic Romance of One o'tloe, t! a new Musical Farce, called The Board ing-House ; or Five Hour: at Brighton, was, last night represented for the first time at this Theatre. The principal characters were cast as folloW Admiral Culpepper - 7 Mr. 1' ENCIN. Alderman Contract - - Mr. WEwITZ ex. Contract, jun. - - - - Mr. Ox sza y, Captain Belfast - - - Mr. J. Ssst rr. Spat terdash - - ktr. Knicit . r. Peter Fidget - - - Mr. LovEGßovit. Caroline Heartly - - - - Miss H. KELLY. Caroline NV heatsheaf - - _V:rs. °RUSK. Alderman Contract, an avaricious old citizen, is desirous of marrying his rich ward, Caroline Heartly, to Christopher Con tract, a near relation of his own, who has just arrived front the University, where, instead of studying the classics, his time has been consumed in learning the fashionable art of boxing. The young lady, however, has placed her affections on Captain Bel- fast, a .I.tshing young soldier of fortune, who had rendered a most essential service to her uncle Admiral Culpepper, who is supposed to have been lost at sea, but who makes his appearance, greatly to the mortification of old Contract, and, by his exertions, after overcoming a variety of difficulties, the lovers are made happy. Young Contract, thus defeated, becomes reconciled to Caroline Whea.sheaf. a ;ady whom he had deserted, but who has followed hint trent Cambridge, and rekindles his almost extinct affection, by generously destroying a written promise of marriage, which had been procured from him by a trick of Caroline Picardy 's. This little piece possesses more incident than is to be found in the generality of modern farce& The characters were excellently supported. The music by Mr. Holts, is very pretty. The Ove rture, although rather too serious for a piece of this decription, evinces much ability. • . - The Farce went off with very . great eclat, and was announced for a second representation this evening, amidst the most general plaudits. Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in New York, of the 18th July, 1311 " 1 wish that our divided Government may tend to the general interest of the whole. This country is by no means in a thriving condition. To injure Britain they are bringing them. selves poverty and disgrace. I hope very soon a change will take place, and earnestly wish that peace and prosperity may be the lot of America, and to be in the strictest harmony With that little island called Great Britain." It is said that in June last several of our cruizers an chored off Gonaives, and demanded the restitution of two vessels from Jamaica, which had been carried into that port, as well as satisfaction for the death of a Bri tish seaman, killed by a shot from one oldie batteries at Cape Francois. These demands being rejected by Christophe, measures were immediately taken for blockading his fleet at Gonaives and the Cape—pre cursory, we hope, to an attack which shall end in the capture, or total extinction of his naval force. , Chris. tophe since tke above events has been compelled to re linquish active warfare himself against Petion, who has been thus enabled to employ his whole force in at tempting to subdue General Rigaud. It does not ap pear, however, that either party has gained any mate rial advantages. Christophe, who regards them both as equally his enemies, had supplied the brigands of the mountains with arms and ammunition, and enga ged them with presents to carry on a war of extermina tion against those Chiefs, in which they had been very successful, killing a great number of their followers.— In fact, the Mulatto party were menaced with total ruin, and nothing could save them but a prompt re conciliation between Petion and Rigaud, their ac knowledged leaders. THE ARMY. Saturday, his Majesty's ship Pot/MIA arrived at Falmouth, from Duvet-, with three sail of transports, having on board the West Middlesex Militia, for Cork. The band of the 71st regiment, and a party of the 9th, on their route for Portugal, have marched to Ports mouth for embarkation ; the 7th Dragoon Guards have marched into Arundel barracks and quarters. The 2d battalion of the 57th Regiment which landed last week at-Portsmouth, have marched for Winchester. They were chiefly non-commissioned officers. A strong detachment of the Royal East Middle sex, is now doing duty at Forchester Barracks. The East Essex Militia have removed from I'ortsea, to the Four House Barracks, in Portsmouth. Thursday night an alarm of fire was given, oh board a transport that had arrived at Portsmouth from Ireland, with part of the North Cork Militia or. board ; when several of the men jumped overboard. Captain Burgoyne, of the Tyrian, instantly hastened to the spot, and came just in time to save two of them from sinking. Several were drowned. The North Cork Militia landed at Gosport on Thursday and marched into Haslar Barracks. This is the first regiment of Irish Militia that has arrived in England. They were engaged against the insur gents, some years ago, in Ire'dn.!, and behaved. re markably steady ; they have,since this period, been highly spoken of for their good conduct. They sail ed from Cork on Monday se'nnight ; where they left four other regiments, viz. the city of Limerick, the Dublin, the Londonderry, and the South Cork, wait ing for transports to convey them to this country.— The whole of this regiment, except 12 men, volun teered to extend their services.

An unpleasant affair lately occurred at the Mauri tius, between two Officers of his Majesty's 22d Foot. The account that has reached us states, that on the 3d of December, the day of the capitulation, Lieu tenant L—e, after some menacing expressions, suddenly attacked Lieutenant D—e with his drawn sword. The latter, it is said, having no time to pre pare for defence, retreated, till he had succeevled in getting his sword from his scabbard, when he stood upon the defensive, and endeavoured to parry the thrusts of his assailant, by whom he was soon dis armed. Lieutenant L—e still continued his thrusts, which Lieutenant D— for some time turned aside with his naked hands, till at length Li?.ut. L—e closing upon his disarmed opponent, and seizing him with one hand, with the other forced the sword into his breast. The point entered the cavity of the breast just above the right nipple,. pierced the lungs, and produced a copious discharge of blood from the mouth. Lieutenant D—e was for two days con sidered in imminent danger, but, at the date of the last acounts, no apprehension was entertained for his recovery. A Court of Inquiry had been ordered to assemble to investigate the circumstances of this case. —(Atiatie Mirror, Feb. 13.) Caraccas Papers of a late date are in town, which state, that a Congress has been formed of all the sur rounding Provinces, and that General MIRANDA has been electetl President, with great honours, and is to have the same powers as WASHINGTON had in the United States. Letters from Jamaica, dated June the 2.lth, state, that the Duke of MANCHESTER left that hland on the preceding morning, in the RACOON sloop of war, Captain BLACK, for Halifax, whence he was to pro ceed to England. No reason is assigned for his Grace having left the Island. His intention is thus announced in a Jamaica Paper of the 21• th of June— " A Privy Council, we understand, is summoned to meet on Wednesday next, in Spanish Town, for the purpose of swearing in Lieutenant-General Morrison as Lit ntenant-Governor of this Island, his Grace the Duke of nisclicster intending to resign the government of the colony, and proceed iu the Racoon sloop of war for Halifax, and from thence to England." MOLINEUX, the pugilist, accompanied by RICHMOND, arrived at Lancaster on Monday se'nnight, and pro ceeded the following morning for York races. Report says, that the great battle between Cam and MOLINEUX will take place in the West of Eng land, a gentkman of considerable landed property having invited the principal amateurs to erect the stage for combat on his estate, which liberal offer has been conditionally accepted.

Extract of a letter from Calicqt, Jan. 26, 1811 : " His Majesty's ship Caroline, Captain Cole, bound from Bombay to Banda, and his Majesty's ship Fox,. Captain Wells, proceeding to Bombay, anchored] here on the 19th inst. for the purpose of taking in treasure, and sailed• on the 25th. Neither of them give of any news. Several Arab vessels have lately' ] had very quick passages to this place from Bengal one arrived in fifteen, and others in twenty, twenty four, and twenty-five daps. The sth Native In , Cantu at Cannanore, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed on foreign service with the expedition sailing from Bombay. The ships from Bombay are to touch at Cannanore, and take I them on board." The folluwint• extract of a letter from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Princess Charlotte gives an acc2um of a very brilliant affair between a !wit of that ship and some French gun boats : " His Majesty's Ship Princess Charlotte, ofl Schr,tian, Aug. s. " The Princess Charlotte having captured a Spa, nisir launch, it was fitted out to cruize upon the coat with a carronade, small arms, and SO men ; and the command was given to Mr. Salter, Master's Mate.— Being forced to come to an anchor near Brrmiti by a gale, he was perceived by the garrison, and three gunboats were dispatched to uku'peussession of him. Fortunately, Mr. Salter soon discovered their intent cut his cables, and made towards the enemy. A brisk firing , soon commenced on both sids, when one of the boats was seen to sheer off, and soon after suni with all her crew, consisting of the Captain of s French national schoonox, then lying in 13e.rtnio, I Major, second commandant of tile gat risoi:, and SC men, not one of whom WAS saved. The other twt boats continued the action for some time, but at iasl made all sail into port, having had a considerabl. number killed and wounded. Mr. Salter %soul,. have either taken or destroyed them, but the wine WAS dead on shore, and being close under the bane. rics, it was impossible to pursue them. There were only two men wounded on hoard the launch. Eitel of the boats had SO picked men on board, aid ram( out for the express purpose of taking in Mr. Sahel with them. " Within these few days Mina has had an action with the French, and has defeated them with very considerable loss. Mina himself has lust upwards.oi SOO men. He yesterday received a very considera, ble supply of arms and ammunition from the Iris.— The French troops on this cos.st are ordered to join the army, anJ I believe those that Mina has defeats( were destined to relieve them. St. Andero, it is said, will soon be evacuated. Purlier is very near it with an army of 5000 men." .. .. _ ..._ _ . li ~ ~. . 6{A
