• and that the total -mounted to 27,900 men. The nest person he would call would Le Gen. Whining. ham, from whose infOrmation the Court would collect the arms' of Arragon to have amounted to 31,260 men. This offizer obtained his intelligence through a charnel distinct from that of General Donkin s, and had never seen the report of the former till his own had been delivered, so that it was clear a pretty fair calculation might he made of the total army of Snchct in Valencia. The next source by which this calculation would be confirmed was a report of Ge neral St. Cyt's, found in a port-folio of Joseph's, in • which it was stated, that Suchet's army, independent ef sick, was 32,676 men. In taking the force at 24. thousabd men, therefore, he (Sir John Murray) did not think he should be accused of exaggeration.— In Catalonia the force under General De Caen, from a ahoy icy equally satisfactory, appeared to be twenty frree thousand, part of which was in garrison, but thirteen thousand men of which were completely diSpoiahle. From hence it was clear that the united army of Suchet and De Caen formed a general total of fifty-three thousand men. In corroboration of this calculation, the g..llant General read three military memoirs of Spanish Generals, which, added to his other sourceS•of intelligence, he apprehended would be considored by the Court as a fair loundati.in upon which to form his judgment of the force which he had to oppose. It was clear too that the army was, while at Tarragona, in the very cenue ef the enemy. They were tlue.ttcLed on the flank by the Catalonian army, and ia the front by the army of Arragou, without :Detraining the garrison of Tarragona itself—a cir cumstance which, he trusted, would convince the Court and the public, that he was not so culpable as the charge of Admirar i liallowell had boldly stated. Sw JOHN MURRAY next laid before the Court the intelligence which he had received at the important crilis which formed the subject of inquiry. Some Papers, on which his judgment had been formed, were lost, bur others he had preserved These consisted of dispatches from General Mauso, the Spanish General, and were dated at different hours on the 1 Ith of June, 1813. Their contents went to state that the enemy were advancing to Villa Franca, ten thousand men strong, with ten guns and two howitzers, to which inform a tion were added repasts which lie had himself received, of from two to three thousand men. And on the 12th he received a letter from the same officer, stating the enemy to have arrived atVillaTranca,ind on the back of the letter was a memorandum from General WhittinghaM, announcing that they had ad vanced to V,andrell, With these circumstances in his knowledge, it was for - the Court to say, whether he was not Justified in the measuees he had taken. The gallant Gt neral now adverted to the evidence pro duced by Adm.Hallowell, in support of his statement 44 that the farce of the enemy consisted of but 5000 men," and asked whether the vague informition of a Spanish peasant, ill understood, aid in all probability a French spy, was to be received in preference to the judici:ots intelligence obtained from General Mans°, confirmed by subsequent . occurrehces. He then con tinued 'to comment on ihe other evidence produced by Admiral Hallowell, and contrasted it with such fact& and opinions as he intended to produce hereafter in his defence. He also accounted for what was called a breach of promise to Colonel Williamson, by the xe ceiptdaf intellie,,ence of the actu..l march of the enemy, wide's() the fact of General Copons being to arrest the progress of their advance. He thtn entered into details to, shear that the calculations of Admiral Hallowell, as to the IPA niburs of the enemy, were in- , correct, and those of himself accnrate. From facts he was authorised to Assume that the force'which Suchet brought from Valencia was fully 900 U men, and sub sequently this force wac augmented t 612,000 infantry and one thousand cavalry: On tile 11th and 12th that force approximated so near as Permellia and gen dellos. to three days the main body was oily two long marches, and the advance only one long march from Tarragona. The General was proceeding to state the other po sitions of the Irench force, when the Judge Advocate announced that the hour of three had arrived, and that the Court was adjourned till ten o'clock to-morrow. • Majorturtsie, in reading the defence, was occa sinnally relieved by Sir Jolla MURRAY himself, and by Colonel D'Aounosik THE EVENING S'C'AN,.

The Duke of Wellington did not set out this morning. The news of the departure of Lord. Castle rt.igli from Vienna for London, is at least prema'ture. What is certain is, that letters arrived today iron. Vienna hear that he was at Vienna on the'lsth. I weals even by these letters that nothing Teems to in dic4tc his speedy departure, and still le►s thui tht Dote of Wellington was expected. • the Diarb di Roma, of the 7th January, there a h issitct Isom Ancona, in which the writer expose• the infsounis intrigufs of an Agent of Mow, called Maghella Unites, Achater of Salicetti, to prevail on the inhabitants of Ancona and the Marches to send Deputies to Naples, * charged with demanding the definitive settlement in those provinces of the /maenad Government of Joachim. rt f gt , 41 • 3 P • . „ • • • • NAPLES. JANUARY S. . The reports, which the Government cannot pre vent from spreading, on the uncertainty of the ar rangements of the Congress relative to the mainte nance of the dynasty of Joachim on the throne of Naples, have awakened the hopes of the partizans of our ancient Sovereigns. They now act openly, and .their zeal daily increases the number of those who rally in the cause of Ferdinand. The little pro bability which there is that King Murat will preserve the throne of Naples, secretly disposes a great num ber to abandon his interests. The defection of the army will produce still Luther difficulties, and will be the more vexatious as every thing has been sacri ficed to obtain the devotion of the soldiers. It is also said that the corps which occupy the Marches finding the people indisposed towards them, are deserting fast, and King Murat is endeavouring to replace them by free corps recruited in various parts of Italy. It is not likely that Joachim will quit Naples at pt.!. sent, as he pretended. His health, and the ticklish state of public opinion regarding him, will require his presence among his loving subjects. MILAN JANuARY All the .Ernftloyis here, under the late administra tion of the Viceroy Eugene BeauharnoiL, have re ceived a peremptory order to quit the country. Ge neral Bertrand, who had come here in a clandost:Le manner from the Island of Elba, was very near being arrested. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. • " Vienna. January 14. di I promised to give you all the news I could, and not to leave yeti ignorant of the reports which are in circulation here. That of the resignation of the Mi nisters of Austria and Russia had no more founda tion than many others which have been circulated here, since the commencement of the Congress. a The conferences of the Sovereigns have become of late more frequent : a circumstance which increases the hopes of a pacific termination of the Congress.-- The report of the arrival of tke King of Saxony gains ground. Some persons assert that he will only come into the neighbourhood of Vienna. It is gene rally thought that he will be obliged to make come sacrifices to the tranquillity of Europe, and that he will cede to Prussia the two Lusatias, the Circle (ir* Wittenberg, and perhaps even that of Leipsic and Thuringia. If'this partitioning of Saxony ever takes place, it well not be with the consent of the Saxoirs. 66 In the mean time the friends of Prussia maini tain that it is unfair to accuse the King of Prussia of demanding Saxony in particular: all that his Majesty wants is an indemnity for the sacriftces which he Las made by treaties formally coneluded. Th o j:)ctico, these claims was acknowledged by . Aestr:a and Lng land in a note of the 22d October, and this cote be sides, bore that Saxony should form. part of. these in. demnities. It was only in a note cf the I Gib Decerer ber that the same Powers insisted Lyon c:aitining them to a part of Saxony. Those reciprocal preten sions are even dye sulject of t!,e, present discussions, which will nevertheless end in a pacific manner, be cause Prussia only asks what was promised her. Some persons flatter themselves that the King of Saxony will be col:vale:1 to accept of the Catholic Pr nvinces of Munster, Paderborn, or a poi tiou of the left bank of the Rhine. A deci.i.m is very speedily expected. 44 It may now be c. - ntaslered certain that Poland will. be re-established, at least in a great measure, no. :lir a constitutional form, and under the beneficent ,overnmeat of the Emperor Alexander. This Prince has lately proposed to declare Thorn and Cracow free cities, the first under the protection lof Russia and Prussia, the second under that of Aus tria and Russia. It is even added, that a Committee formed by those Powers, is occupied in drawing up the constitution of these cities. 66 The dispensations of the Greek Church for the marriage of ri great Princess of the North with a Prince Royal of Germany have arrived. Thc Grand Duchess of Oldenbargh and the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg are the parties. The latter is separated from his wife, the daughter of the King o f 13avaells, and with whom he was compelled by Bonaparte to connect himself in marriage. 46 The report is circulated bees of the abdication of the . Grand Duke of Baden. whose health is very precaricnia, and who has bad no . male issue by the Grand Duchess, Stephanie Napoleon (born Taicher). This report is probably only the result of the hatred of the Germans to every thing which 'Teals the name of the scoundrel Bonaparte. 44 You will have doubtless remarked as singular, that neither the official C.vr; Gazette not the Arstrion ;Ammer have said a word of the incorporation of the Republic of-Genoa with Sardinia. is The affairs of Switzerland are almost entirely settled. Switzerland will be independent, and corn= posed of twenty.two Cantons, each of which will lovern itself. That of Berne wi.l get an indemnity or.

" Nine of the persons implicated in the conspiracy have recently been discovered at Milan• 41 It is said that Count tellegarde is destined to an important Embassy. It is intended to supply his placein the Governmcntof Lombariy with t,! e Prince of Hohenzollern, Commandant of Lower Austria, or the Baron de Frimont, a Belgian by birth, who commands at present at Mentz. 41 Some persons recently arrived from Leghorn, assure us that the finances of the pettifogging Sove reign of Porto Ferrajo are so low that he has been obliged to sell. for old metal, part of the 260 guns which he found in the Island of Elba." Three H =burgh Mail% with an abundant supply of Brussels and Frankfort Gazettes reached towa this morning, but they contain no intell gence of striking intercs:. Ham' tugh seems to liAvu returned to its former state of tranquillity and prosperity. A grand festival to commemorate its joyful deliverance took place on the 15th inst. The °Possum sloop of. war came into Plymouth on Wednesday, from the Westward, • with intelligence that two American Frigates were in the entrance.— These, it c:innot be doubted, are two of the three whose sailing from American ports has already been announced. In consequence of this vws, there was instantly a great bustle in Plymouth to send out chi lerent vessels in pursuit of the enemy. The Marlborough packet, arrived from Lisbon, saw a vessel enter the Tagus on the 10th instant, tin der American colours, supposed to be the Pi rtsmrsuth privateer, of 16 guns, and 130 men. The West India Fleet, which was appointed to sail this day, is countermanded till the 4th of next month. Several Foreigners are engaged in scientific re searches at Rome. Among these laborious scholars we may mention ActuateLarr, a Swede.; DOD WELL, an Englishman; and VAN Mtuaxcate, a Dutchman. AMATI, the most learned philologist in Italy, has fini,hed his translation of SorgiocLes, and continues to be busily employed in making ex tracts for various German literati, from the Greek MSS. in the library of the Vatican, .to which he is attached for the Latin :end Greek languages. A controversy has been for some time carried on by the literati of Rome, respecting the depth of the Coliseum and its real construction. A great num ber of plans of it have been made, bat opinions are still at variance.

SOUTHWARK MEETING OF THB FRIENDS OE RitZORM. —A numerous and respectable Meeting of the Friends of Reform dined yesterday at Cumberland Gar ens. It w.is attended by Sir Flaxen and Mr. Itasee Butt ogre, aid was principally undertaken with a view to; invite the latter gentleman to the representation of the Baroup.

It gives a minute and anato mical description of our single-caped great coat, as if it were some curious monster; and after a hint that none but servant' in Paris could wear such things, expresses a complacent conviction that the elerets oi Paris will never follow the example of the fashiou able, of London.
