BOYS, in five airs from Santo-Domingo, with his Excellency Ma ot..General CARMICHAEL on board, cam e to anc h or l at t Tuesday, at Port Royal. On her coming abreast o f tort Charles, the General received a salute of 17 vuns , which the Moselle immediately returned, and I ;, n his quitting the vessel shortly after, she saluted in n .: with a similar discharge, Captain MAJOR, of the 3d West-India regiment, an d Lieutenants DORAN, of the 18th, and DELA ont-,sv, of the 3dWest-India regiment, aides-de-camp to, General ; Lieut.-Colonel SMITH, of the koyal A rt ili e ry ; Lieut -Colonel MYERS, Deputy Quarter. *Taster-General ; Lieutenant VALLANCEY, Assistant di , o ; Major TONG'S, Deputy Adjutant-General ; major Pact:lox, Engineer; Captain MAILLARD and' tite. GRAVES, of the 18th ; and eighty men of the; 54tb, 55th, and 2d West-India regiinents, also ar rived in the Moselle. The Dispatch brig, of 18 guns, Capt. titttcAttr, arr 'ved an Monday from a cruize, with the American s hin Harlequin, BROWN, from Turk's Island, bound to liew-York, which she detained on the 10th ult. on a former crime, in consequence of having contraband peas on board, and sent to Annotto Bay. On the 28th ult. off Cape Nicholas Mole, the Mar- i t ha was boarded by the Avon brig, of 18 guns, Cap tain FRASEIi, cruising, all well ; and on the 30th alt. o f Cape IN nna Maria, the Thetis spoke the ship Wildman, DONT, from Port Mafia, bound to London. On t h e '2sth of July, in lat. 36. 29. long. 68. about t en leagues to the eastward of Bermuda, the Rachael 1 an d Mary was boarded by the Argo frigate, of 44 guns, Capt. nosy, with the June fleet, numbering 65 sail, from this island, under her convoy, all well, with a fair wind. The Racbael and Mary touched at Marti:Nue on the 20th ult. at St. Vincent's on the 230, and at Montserrat on the 29th—at the latter plate she learnt that his Majesty's brig Dominica, of 14 p:ns, Lieut. WELCH, had unfortunately upset near s t iola, in a most tremendous hurricane ; the home ward-bound Leeward Island packet, which was in company with her, very narrowly escaped ; she could render the Dominica no assistance whatever, and it is much feared that all her crew perished. A trading schooner was upset near Montserrat in the same hur ricane, and all hands were lost. There have been se veral very severe gales in that quarter. The brig Douglas, HOLLY, which arrived on Friday se'snight, from Newfoundland, came to off Turk's Island on the 23d ult. when a pilot came on board, glad informed Capt. HOLLY,, that the ship John, of Liverpool, a letter of marque, from Liverpool to the West-Indies, bad unfortunately got ashore on the Oth, on the north-east reef of Turk's Island, and vas bilged The crew and a part of the cargo, con sisting of dry goods, were saved. Captain HOLLY describes her to be a large ship, with a tier of ports, bulwarlv. a handsome head, and in appearance of abut .500 tons. The Governor of Carthagena has intimated that ILt received some time since an order from the Spanish Gorernrent, fotbidding foreign vessels to be admit trd to tr de with the Spanish colonies. i...netts of itesamisttorr between GentrA CARMICHAEL and Lon Jo AN SANCHEZ Raxiarz, Govern(); f the Spanish part of Saito Domingo. - - • We, int undersigned, Hugh Lyle Carmichael, commanding tas Bunn. is Majesty's forces in the hland of Santo Domingo, ted Don Juan Sanchez Ramirez, Captain-General per niterim of the S e :nisi' part of the island, in consideration of the close aUiance cd unity between :h. rritish and Spaniiih ri:.iions, ac also the zwe.licr granted by hia Majesty of England to the subjects of h licit Catheilic Majesty Fen; nand VII. of Spain, for the pur jci: of restoring th.;:ie territories to their antient dominions, as rt-v . ois to the 'ire aty of Bask, in 1795 : " We, the Representatives of our respective Sovereigns, by . . . .. .. . . . anal of the p‘Avers h us vested, ac d the restoration of this coun try by :he right of conquest, befcie illegally occupied by the rtesta a:. br, considering the mutual advantages that may result hoz a r—Lnercial intelcourse between the two Powers, do : ful: ow 4 " I.

The QUEBEC sailed from Lisbon on the 29th ult. 1 at which time Lord WELLINGTON was on his journey to Seville from Lisbon, for the purpose of having an interview with his brother the Marquit, befoi-e the latter embarked for England. .y the QUEBEC we have received Spanish and Portuguese papers to a late date. So far as we can trust Spanish news, the intelligence is satisfactory.—_ In an action which took place near Salamanca NO tween the Spaniards, commanded by the Doke del PAaquE, and the French division lately under the orders of Marshal NEI', but on this occasion com manded by General MARCHAND ; the former obtained a decided victory. The particulars are detailed in the Extracts given in the preceding columns. We rejoice to hear of any success gained by the Spaniards, but we frankly confess we have seen no victories achieved by that nation equal to the crisis, since the first burst of popular indignation against their invaders. Long before this pei iod there ought not to have been left a single Frenchman in arms in the Peninsula. The opportunity has been lost, nor can it now be recalled. But we shall not dwell upon a subject of which we have often exp ressed our sentiments, and we believe not without effect ; for we can now announce, on what we conceive to be good authority, that Mini. sters have resolved on the EVACUATION OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL S being convinced by every event that has taken place, and by all the accounts that have been officially transmitted to them from our Commanders and ac credited agents in the Peninsula, that the cause is absolutely hopeless ! It is long since we were con •inced that the Spanish Grandees--.“ the noble-minded Spaniards," were as imbecile and base as those of the other nations who have bowed the neck to receive the French yoke, in the hope of saving, by their acquies cence, their individual properties. They will, how ever, find themselves mistaken—the only gainers will be the lower orders. These, we are convinced, from all that we have seen, will be benefited by any change that can free their country from such imbecility— from such a wretched Government. Orders have, we believe, been already issued to provide transports and make the other necessary ar. rangemeni s for withdrawing the remains of our army from Spain and Portugal. We have also to announce what we believe will likewise be received with much satisfaction by the public, that Ministers have likewise resolved on the EVACUATION OF WALCHEREN, and that measures are now taking for that event.— True it is that fresh troops are going out—but only for the purpose of destroying the works, and pro tecting the embarkation, &c. of the stores and what- ever may be required to be brought off, preparatory to the final evacuation of the Island. NAVAL VICTORY. A Gentleman who left Rotterdam on Tuesday last, states, that two of the most respectable houses in that city had received letters from their Correspon dents at Paris, which mention that Lord COLLING wooI:, had intercepted a large convoy of military stores and provisions, that was proceeding from Tou lon to Barcelona, the whole of which he had captured. Of the ships of war, under whose protection it was, an 80 and 74 gun ehip were driven on shore, where they were burned by their crews, to prevent them from falling into our hands. A frigate was also driven on shore, which, to all appearance, must be lost." Former accounts held out a hope that we should soon hear of such an event as the above, and we have therefore some hope that the news will soon be con firmed. The Gentleman had not heard the date of this reported victory. The Seville article, of September 14, given in a preceding column, probably alludes to this very action. By the Chichester packet we have received letters and papers from Jamaica to the 10th of September.-- From the extracts we have given, it appears that Ge neral Caautenagt. has made an advantageous com mercial arrangement with the Spanish Government at Santo Domingo; and British merchants trading with that island will now enjoy the same privileges with Spanish subjects. Our readers will recollect that upwards of a year ago the General Assembly of Jamaica, in defiance of the British Toleration Act, passed a law prohibiting 1 all preaching in that island except by the regular Clergy. This absurd and illiberal enactment was ! subsequently set aside by his MAJESTY'S order in Council, intimated to the Assembly of Jamaica (.through the Governor, but we are not a little sur prised to find that applications for Licenses to preach l r still continue to be rejected by the Quarter Sessi,,ns of that Island. The following article on the subject is copied from the Kingston Gazette •of the 2d of September : On Wednesday came on to be heard by Counsel before GEORGE KINGHORN, JAMES INGLIS, JOHN CAMP BELL, JOSEPH BARNES, and EDWARD EVANS, Esqrs. at the Quarter Sessions, the Petition of certain Metho dist Preachers, praying to be licensed to preach in this city, agreeably to the Toleration Act ; when, after a long and patient hearing of Counsel on both sides, the Court unanimously refused the prayer of their Petition. It is worthy of remark, that in their Petition they admitted the indecorous conduct of for mer Preachers. Application was also made by Coun. sel on behalf of GEORGE Lutz, the Elder, to sanction the re-opening of his Meeting-house on the Rock-Fort road, which met with a similar fate." or 14r4r4L rintwdzket. BALDC CoNVdt. The PLANtAtENET man .of war which arrived at Yarmouth tie Bth inst. sailed from Carlscrona 6th ult. with the trade assembled at that port. The Meacuatus joined of the harbour with the trade from Stockholm, and was joined at the south enttance of the Great Belt on the 14th, by a convoy of 81 sail, under convoy of the TARTAR, inaleng together 356 • sail. They got all safe 10 leagues round the Scaw, when a gate at W. N.

Seijetal transport's, with sick soldiers on board, and the widows of the brave Britons that fell at Talavera, have arrived at Plymouth. The 9th Regiment of the line were on Wednesday inspected by their Colonel, Lieut.-General BROWN.. RIG, at Canterbury, previously, it is supposed, to their embarkation for Portugal. The Local Militia to be raised in the Wingham, Elham, Faversham, mid Home Divisions, in the Eastern part of Kent, is to assemble at Ospringe, and will be formed into a regiment, of which it is under stood Lieut.-General HARRIS will be the Colonel. Saturday, Monday, and the two following days, the North York Militia, moved from Brabourn Lees, to Maidstone, to make room for the sick of the 68th and 71st regiments from Walcheren. The Waldershare Regiment of Volunteers is order ed to be disbanded on the 24th of December next. It 'would have been highly gratifying to the very old officers of the Army, who h.►d been laid by for 'some years, if they had received the same promotion with the Naval Officers on the glorious 25th of last month. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. That dramatic picture of social address, the Man of the World, was exhibited last night. The interest which Mr. COOKE has acquired in the public mind by his very able delineation of Sir Pertinex Macryeo phant, seems to gain additional strength every time he appears : it is a chef d'auvre in its way, which no existing performer ever dreams of equalling ; and when Mr. Came dies, his Caledonian characters, as well as some others,. will probably die with him. T - EDWIN'S Burletta Buffos, and JOHNSTONE'S Irish man, they may, be quoted as points of excellence that have been; and though they may be partly imitated, such attempts will only prove the insufficiency of the' measure. Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE gave to Egerton as much importance as the thing deserved : he looked like a Gentleman, and spoke like a son and patriot. At the commencement of the third act he was compli. mented, as usual, with the ebullitions of the opposition. The Pantomimic Ballet of Oscar and Malvina suc ceeded the Comedy. The disturbance which had prevailed during the evening increased at half price, when the Pit was about two thirds filled. The concord of sweet sounds, in Oscar and Ma/vista was destroyed by the new dance of 0. P. which the Pit Gentry performed in their loudest style. Several placards were displayed in the Boxes, and soon after their appearance a Gentleman rushed in and destroyed them. These ensigns of popular fury also appeared in the Pit, but. we did not observe one composition worthy insertion. A dog was ele vated above his companions to bark at the performers, but the poor animal remained a silent passive spec tator. When the curtain had dropped, several per sons attempted to make speeches, but every effort proved abortive, and after cheers and groans, accor ding to custom, the party dispersed. Bow•STREET.—LaSt night Mr. James Osborne, of Aldersgate-street, builder, charged Mr. Thos. Jones, a haberdasher in the city, with having, during the se cond act of the play, and at various times from that period till towards the end of the of the fourth act, annoyed the peaceable part of the audience by loud and frequent hissing and hooting, and also with hav ing exhibited a placard, the contents of which could not be fully ascertained, owing to its having been torn in the scuffle occasioned by the endeavour to pull it down from off the second tier of boxes, where it was affixed. This statement was corroborated by the testimony of Mr. Henry Bennett, 34, Carey. street, who stated he was in the pit, and saw the de fendant hoist a placard in one of the side-boxes, in the second tier ; that he hutza'd and shouted, to the • great disturbance of the quiet part of the audience; that a number of persons in the pit ca ll e d out " Sh ame , ' shame ! Turn him out—we cannot hear the perform i ance for him"—at the same time pointing up to the defendant. That the witness went round to the boxes, land proceeded to the box w h ere th e d e f en d ant was , who was holding up a placard and shouting ; the wit ness snatched it out.of his hand, on which the defen. • dant assaulted him by striking him: Mr. GRAHAM, the Sitting Magistrate, observed, that he would never listen to an assault arising out of such a case as this, from either party. It was doubt ful if Mr. Bennet did not commit the first assault, by snatching the placard. The Defendant acknowledged that he had held up the placard, and had, during the night, shewn his dis approbation of the performance ; but denied that he had either huzza'd or shouted ; and that he was as saulted by Bennet in a most disgraceful manner. Mr. GRAHAM desired him to find bail ; himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each, for his appearance at the next Quarter Sessions. This was immediately complied with by Mr. Jones, and he was accordingly • discharged. His Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, who, with his family, have been spending the summer at Clifton, is, we are happy to hear, so improved in health, that he is able to use his accustomed exercise, and to return to Sion House. Thursday last the old Berkshire hounds had a most capital and extraordinary run. They unkennelled their fox in Headington Furze, soon after ten, and after pressing him at a very sharp pace, he swam the Cherwell in the neighbourhood of Woodeaton, came up the meadows on the Oxford side to Holywell church, where he was so dead beaten, that his only refuge remained in climbing on the roofs of houses like a cat, from which however he was soon dislodged, and then ran up Holywell-street in full. view, with about three couple of hounds close at his brush. He then turned short to the right, went into the back !mit of Wadham college, and was finally taken in the pal lour of Mrs. WALL in Holywell, and there baggec'. , So singular a fox chace was, perhaps, never witnessed by the oldest inhabitant, and a very large concourse , of people assembled to see him given to the hounds in the fields near Isley. t '1 1 4
