SPAIN. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CORUNNAt DATED JULY 15. " General Santecildes has had two or three con- Picts with the French during their retreat, and has taken 300 prisoners, and killed about 500 men. We are daily expecting accounts of an action between him and Bonnet, who is endeavouring to join the French arn'y rn the frontiers of Portugal. In Oviedo there has been raised a corps of militia 3000 strong, and the walls of Astcrga are rebuilding where the enemy had destroyed them. It had been the intention of the French to have demolished the works altogether, but they had not time bolore the advance of the patriots. " General Pr , riier has joined Santocildes with 3,500 men, after having sustained an action with about 1,700 French, under General Ribald, in which the enemy were defeated, leaving several hundred dead on the Peld.

Yesterday, in particular, we understand, that the most painful apprehensions were I entertained at Windsr.r, and the whole of the Royal Family were assembled. The following letter conveys acme interesting p irticulars on- this gloomy subject : ViNnsort, Jule 23.—The Bulletin of this day does not allay the fears of every class of anxious enquirers at the Castle, and that alarm is anxiouily excited, in consequence of the extreme 'heat, which is said to affect his MAJESTY greatly during his confinement in the Palace. This alarming crisis induces a number of the Nobility to visit this town, to make a personal application for the Bulletin at the Queen's Lodge, where it is issued by half past ten every morning.— At two o'clock this afternoon, his Royal Highness the PRINCE RECENT, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and Culuael BLOOMEIELD, arrived at the Castle in an open curricle. It was the intention of the PRINCE REGENT to dine with his Royal Brother at Kew, but soon after his arrival, he was induced to remain at the Palace, and dined with her MaJestv, the Princesses, Dukes of CLARENCIS, CUM;ERLAND, and CANIBRIDGE, and at , half past . six in the evening returned to London.— The Regency Council sat from eleven to three o'clock on Saturday, in examination of the Physicians, and consulting with her MAJESTY on the precarious state of the Kneo's health. Lord ELLENEOROUGII travelled with the utmost expedition to \Windsor, in order to attend his duties, notwithstanding his business in the Court of King's Bench on that day. They conclu ded their sitting with signing the weekly report, which we understand was by no means consolatory. The following are the List Bulletins published : " WINLK,Oa CASTLE, JULY U.

They contain no inullizence whatever re specting the probability of a reconciliation between the Russians and Torkl. Although we are not enabled to confirm the ru tneurs which hare been some time in circulation respecting an alliance between this country and Rus sia, we learn th.tt the commercial intercourse between the two nations will meet with no interruption 4urin g the present year. It is to be conducted under neutral flags, and on the conditions required by the Imperial Ukase proclaimed at the conclusion of the last year. The Continental System is to be a dead letter in the Ropsian territories, Tilt Akmiti I Saturday, two troop s of the 3d, or Ic ing's own Dragoon Guards, marched into Portsmouth Dock yard, to embark for the Peninsula.—This regiment has not been out of England for the last 60 years; and the men and horses are said to be the finest ever em barked from Portsmouth. Four troops are to em bark immediately. This day detachments of the King's German Le gion, to the amount of 686, arrived at Portsmouth, tor Portugal. The first division of the sth Dragoon Guards ar rived on Saturday at Portsmouth, from Sussex, and, after being inspected by General WilrfHAM, were embarked . for Portugal. The four Hussar Regiments expect immediately to be employed. They are complete in men and horses, and, in point of discipline, not to be excelled by any in his Majesty's service. The 23d Light Dragoons, under the command of the Earl of PORTA R LINGTON, are in daily expectation of receiving orders to embark for Portugal. This fine regiment sustained great loss at the battle of Ta lavera, and came home shortly after it to recruit. The North Hants regiment of Militia, lying at Bristol, have all turnecrout, and are sworn in to serve in Ireland. This regiment, on every occasion, has been the first to offer their services—to Spain they volunteered to a man, and this is the second time of their offering themselves for Ireland. Wednesday last, the 2d battalion !of the Sd or Buffs, marched from Clarence Barracks through Dock, Stonchouse, and Plymouth, to embark at Cat water. They repeatedly cheered as they marched through the streets of each town, and were as loudly answered with repeated cheers by crowds of people assembled on the occasion. They appear fine hardy fellows, and very fit for service. Six troops of the 4th Dragoon Guards also marched through to the jetty heads of the Dock-yard, and embarked in high or der and spirits on board cavalry transports prepared for the purpose of their reception. The Penelope merchant ship is arrived from Cadiz, which place she left on the 11th instant. Several transports, containing part of General BLAKE'S army, had arrived there, and the remainder was hourly ex pected. Their stay at Cadiz it was, however, thought would be very short. The Aberdeenshire regiment of Militia, command. ed by the Right Hon. the Earl of AIOYNE, lying in Berwick, have handsomely volunteered their services to Ireland. A fleet of transports, having on board five troops of the 4th or Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, and two troops of the 9th Light Dragoons, sailed from Ply mouth, on Friday, tor Portugal, under convoy of the PEACOCK sloop of war, and ACHATES gun-brig. The five troops of the 4th Dragoon Guards embark ed, are commanded by Captains LEATISAM, DOMAN, HAMILTON, BUTLER, and WEB& The transports for Portugal, which have about 4000 troops, in detachments, on board, sailed on Saturday morning from Portsmouth, under convoy of the MER CURY, Capt. TANCOCK, and JASPER, Capt. HUNLOKE. The latter takes several transports to Cadiz and Gib raltar. and then returns to Lisbon. The Duke of LEINSTER, Earls CLARE and DELAWARE., and Lord WILLIAM FITZGERALD, for Lisbon, are passengers in the Mercury. The interchange of the English and Irish Militias is to take place immediately. About 5000 of the for , mer are under orders to embark for Ireland, and the transports conveying them are to receive in return a similar number of the Irish Militia. The regiments destined for this service from the Kent District are the Cornwall and Devon Miners, West Middlesex, Cardigan, and Montgomery. A Subaltern Officer of one of the Bengal native re giments, has lately arrived in this country, in order so solicit redress of the Court of Directors, under very extraordinary circumstances. The appellant, it ap pears, having distinguished himself in the field on many occasions, had on that account been promoted from the ranks. The circumstance occasioned a jea lousy among some of his countrymen, who accused him of the crime of sorcery. However ridiculous the charge, he was tried and found guilty, by a Court. Martial, and dinsissed the service. NAPA INDALLMEAteI: FALMOUTH, JULY Q 6.
