His Majesty's ship LayDEN has arcked at Ports mouth, from Lisbon, with a fleet of merchantmen and transports. By the Lisbon Mail of yesterday we have Portu guese Papers and letters to the date of the 18th inst. One is dated from Larnego, whither the writer had just arrived, after a rapid journey of 280 miles from Estremos. Orders had been given to prepare 200 waggons and teams at that place for immediate ser vice. It is said that the number of sick in the army during this year, has never exceeded 6000, and that it is now considerably less. It is observed, that the supplies to the armies have been greatly impeded by the desertion of the waggoners, who were impressed to forward them. The natives drove away their oxen, and left the waggons on the road. An intercepted letter from BULLARD to MARNIONT is adverted to, in which the Qovernor of Madrid asserts, that without a reinforcement of 4000 men he cannot keep the po pulace in subordination ; and that .the skirmishing parties communicate with the citizens under the walls of the place. The Cadiz Mail, which arrived yesterday, brings intelligence that General BLAKE had landed in safety with his whole force at Motril, in Granada. At Cadiz it was supposed that BLAKE was destined to Valencia. The most distressing part of our intelligence re spects the interior situation of the Isla and Cadiz.— Serious dissensions and total distrust prevailed be tween the Government and the People, and what com menced in secret brooding; has proceeded to open complaint and accosation. The following is a Copy of a Paper posted in the principal streets of Cadiz : Etao bad expelled from Monte Video about 40 fa. milies, and all the Friars of the Order of St. Francis. ' This severe proceeding had added greatly to his popularity. The Simplon French sloop of war, the vessel which Captain BRINBANE supposed he had destroyed in the harbour of Parenzo os the sth of May is stated in the French Papers to have arrived on the 144th of the same month at Trieste, after being refitted. On the 9th instant, as Captain Warsom, of Alston, in company with several Ladies, was proceeding in a boat towards a sloop which was at anchor a short dis. tance from the shore, in the bay of Allonby, he no fortunately stept on the gunwale, in order to lay hold of another vessel, and his weight causing the boat to heel, the females were thrown upon him, and they were all precipitated into the water. Assistance was immediately procured, and the Ladies were all saved ; hut Captain WarsoN, together with the boatmen, un fortunately perished. A suit brought on in the Recorder's Court, Bom bay, on the 23d of June, in which a Mr. Kitson was plaintiff', and a Captain J. Sterling, defendant, dis. closed a case of most singular infamy on the part of! the latter. The object of the suit was to stt aside a ' bond of 20,000 rupees, executed in favour of the defendant's wife. Perhaps a case of more coot mous infamy never came before a Court of Justice— a husband suborning his wife to swear herself an adul tress with different men. It appeared, the parties were married to two sisters. Sterling had repeatedly ac cused Kitson of having been criminally intimate with Mrs. Sterling, previous to her marriage; and, at jj length, under a threat of completely ruining his cha racter, by making the charge public, extorted from him the bond in question. Though the accusation was wholly unfounded, Sterling, for the nefarious purpose of intimidating Kitson into a compliance with his demand. had compelled his wife to sign a , confession of her supposed guilt. It came out in ! evidence, that, tinder the influence of terror, she had I brought similar charges against others. The wife was in Court during the pleading, and upon receiv ; ing an assurance of protection, made an ample dis. closure of the villany of her husband ; and having sworn that she was in fear of her life from'him, the result was, that the bond was declared void, and he was committed until he should find sureties to keep the peace. In pronouncing judgement, the Recorder, Sir JAMS MACKINTOSII, expressed his regret that the honourable uniform of his country should still be disgraced by remaining on the defendant's shoulders, and that he was not standing as a criminal instead of appearing as a defendmit. `THE Anil!. The Litndon and Edinburgh Company'l 'Mucks Trusty, Captain BALLINQMS, and Fifeshire o captain %Lunt, arrived at Gravesend yesterday forenoof► from Leith, having on board part of the gallant 42J Regiment.

In the Gazettes of the 13th and 13th of June, there are lvng accounts of actions . near Monte Video, between the troops of the Junta and those under the command of ELIO, in all of which the Buenos Ayres Army appears to have?had the advantage. A battle was fone-ht on the 18th of May at Las Piedras, in which ELio's force was completely defeated; and a number of European Offi:ers, who had directed the military operations against the Buenos Ayres troops were made prisoners. The event of this action induced ELto to apply for a tuts. pension of hostilities and an exchange of prisoners; the latter request was granted, but the former was refused. name Video was afterwards summoned by General Amman, the Commander of the Buenos Ayres army. Etto declined to surrrender ; but the siege was closely pressed, and the place could not hold out long. No account of its surrender had,. however, been received on the Ist of July, when the vessel which a brought these papers sailed. NAY4L lATJELLIG_7NCE. EAST-INDIA SHIPPING.

An Officer and King's Messenger arrived here last evening, with diipatches for Cadiz—they immediately went on board the AlptOW schooner, which sailed with them at seven p. m.— A small coasting sloop upset this afternoon in Hamoaze, in a sudden squall; she has been weiAlied up, and no lives were lost.— Arrived the Scru.a from a crttize.—The Pv.t.ortus, Favouturz, and STORK sloops, and the WurriNo ' schooner, have come up harbour to relit and repair. the people of the eastern province take up arms. Tkey demanded assistance from this Junta, and they have confiAed their aggressions to investing the walls of Monte Video. In this state of things, the armistice which the con ciliating disposition of - your Excellency proposes, can produce no other effects than to frustrate an enter prise already far advanced ; to expose the safety of many patriots to the vengeance at Elio; to excite an universal convulsion among the provinces, and the abandonment of our expectation to fluctuating opi nion. This would surely be acting contrary to the principles of our institution, and to raise again the colonial system, which our halt& destroyed. This Junta entertain too sublithe an idea of the penetration if your Excellency. to attribute your proposal to any other motive than an unacquaintance with occurrences which are obscured by distance. In respect to the mediation which your Excellency lois proposed to remove the differmces which subsist between► these States and the Peninsula, nothing could be more satisfactory to this Junta than to place their cause in hands so faithful and generous as those of the British Cabinet. The good faith which Oa racterise it, and the identity of their interests with ours, are causes which assure us of its fidelity. But the Junta cannot discover reasons to authorize them at present to avail themselves of such mediation. The Peninsula is no more than a part of the Spanish Monarchy, and that se maimed, that it would be no small concession to put k upon an equality with Ame rica. It therefore follows, from this principle, that the Peninsula cannot hold any authority over America, nor this over that. Were the English Cabinet to act the part of an impartial mediator, it would be a pre cise acknowledgment of . the independence of the two States. On the other hand, were the British Cabinet possessed of an idea of our inferiority, it would not be surprising that the result of a negotiation would be to grant ns much more by favour than we deserved in justice. Therefore, until we can know the opinion of the British nation, all ulterior proceedings should be suspended. In addition, your Excellency combines , your mediation with the armistice, and should a Ile- Fociation take place, General Ilia would continue to sold all the authority of Viceroy, wherewith he is in. Bested by the Junta of Cadiz, even here where he now occupies ; but this would involve a contradiction in principles; Elio, and the illegitimate power from ' which he derives his authority would remain trium phant over our rights before the termination of the dispute. The unlimited confidence which this Junta has in the pure intentions of your Excellency, convinces us that you have on other object in view than to unite , the political ties which subsist in common betwixt both nations ; but your Excellency may rest assured , that if the state of our negerciations do not permit its to adhere to them, our friendship towards Great Bri tain shah not be less firm, nor our consideration of your Excellency.—Gob preserve your Excellency, &c.

The ascension of Mr. Sadler in his ballonn, from the Mermaid, at Hackney, yesterday, proved an ir resistible point of attraction ta all ranks of persons, and at a very early hour of the day the roads leading from the Metropolis to the spot item which the ascent was to take place, was thronged to an excess far above what they were on the former occasion. The number of carriages and pedesti ians of all descriptions and ranks, exceed by far those witnessed %%hen Mr: Sadler made his last atrial excursion from this place. Yet notwithstanding. the concourse of persons assembled, from the judicious arrangements made by him, no in convenience was experienced, but the access to the gardens was perfectly easy. The company were much more numerous than on the former occasion, and amongst the persons of distinction present, we observed Sir Daniel Williams, Dr. Herschel, the High Priest of the Jews, Major Cartwright, and Co lonel Ileaufoy. Tke bands of the Tower Hamlets Vilitia were placed on the upper and lower greens, and by their enlivening airs, added much to the pleasures of the scene. The Tower Hamlets Militia, with a number of constables interspersed with them, were so disposed, as to have the effect of preserving perfect order both without and within the gardens. The apparatus, which have been so often described, as to render an account of them here unnecessary, was placed in the same situation as on the former oc ' easion, namely, at the south end of the Lower-green. The process of tilling the balloon commenced at nine o'clock, and was fully completed by half past two, at whicll time the car was attached to the balloon, and the different apparatus which had beep prepared for making observations and experiments, consisting of a thermometer, hydrometer, barometer, electrometer, mariner's compass, and some refreshments, were s .placed in the car. Mr. Sadler then, amidst the shouts of the spectators, entered the car, preparatory to com, mencing his 19th aerial voyage, and was immedi. ately followed by Mr. Beaufoy, son of Col. Beaufor; of the Tower Hamlets Militia, and all preparations being completed, the lines which held the balkcn were loosened, and the adventurous voyagers bade adieu to terra frma at 21 minutes before three. The wind at this time blew a brisk gale from the south.by.west, • and the balloon rose in a majestic manner, and imme. diately on clearing the trees tnook a direc:ion nearly Nerlihy-East. The spectators who had been struck with awe by the gran.lettr of the spectacle pr. stinted by the bal loon's first rising, now burs: out in Ir.it.l shouts anti acclamations, greeting the aeronauts as they passed at a distance atiove them. Mr. Sadler and Mr. Beau foy continued to return the compliment by waving dreir hats and col.airs, Mr. 13catifoy displaying the greatest courage and presence of mind. They had not, however, proceeded far, before one rf the Par, by some accident, tell from the car, and was picked itp at a short distance from the Mermaid. The at !nowhere at this period was touch overcast, and the aeronauts, the h illoon rising with considerable velo. city, soon entered a cloud which greatly obscured the view of the spectators; from this cloud they did not again emerge, but after continuing in view, from the time of their ascension, in all about sixteen minutes, they were entirely lost to the spectators, who conti nued to express the pleasure they experienced from the magnificent spectacle they had witnessed by every mode of applause and approbation in their power. The voyage terminated at ten minutes past four, when the voyageurs landed at a little %Wage called East Thorpe, within a few miles of Colchester. It was some time before they could find a chaise, bur one was at last procured from Kelvedon, and the gro nauts, after taking necessary refreshment, set off on their return to Hackney. They arrived at the Mer maid about 10 minutes before 11, where they were received with every demonstration of saCtfaction and joy. The balloon and car were fastened to the top of the chaise. On getting out, Mr. Sadler had a fall, but fortunately sustained no injury. Both' the tra vi:llers appeared in good spirits. The voyage is spoken of as having been exceedingly pleasant upon the whole, though the weather was part of the time very unfavourable. klasted just an hour and a half, in which time they went more than fifty miles.

TRAGICAL CATASTROPRIL—Sunday se'nnight two daughters, with a daughter-in-law, and a grandma of Mr. Macgowan, of NeWry, went out WI walk in the fields, where they picked a poisonous fungus resem bling ,a mushroom, of which they all most imprn dently eat. They were instantly attacked with t e horrible symp:•)ms attendant on taking vegetal le poison, and notwithstanding assistance from most eminent melical aid, they all tell a sacrifi:e to its virulence. The grandson died at eight o'clock, tl2,e daughter-in-law a quarter before eleven, on Thurs day evening ; the youngest slaughter of fifteen, a quarter before one, and the eldest at ten on the fol lowing morning. • I 1 r 1 a
