The Captain bad dispatches on board from Sir Srterry Sxrni, which he delivered to the Admiral in the t)owns. The news of the revolution in Spain was known in the Brazils when he sailed ; and Sir SEDNIRT had sent two vessels with dispatches for England previous to this ship's sailing : those she brings are most likely duplicates of what were trans. mitted by the King's ships. The Eliza Ann, of London, W. Ssnrn master, ar rived off Portsmouth on Monday from Rie Janeiro. She sailed from thence en the 12th June, and left there the following men Of war, viz. FOUVROTANT, 80, Sir SFDNEY SMITH ; LONDON * 98, MARLBOROCCH, 74, MokAacn, '74; Brorono, 74, AGA:WINNOW, 64, and Stnerstuuorri frigate ; and the following merchant *wets ; Friends, Brilliant, Invention, Kingsmoor, Adriatic, Venus, Vulture, Integrity, and a lugger be. longing to London ; Pitt and Hydra transports ; Princess of Wales, and i brig belonging to Liverpool, and two brigs from St. Helena.—The CONFIANCE fri gate, and HYACINTH sloop of war were cruizing on the coast.—The Lady Sinclair' and Recovery, from Landon, had arrived, and sailed on the 3d May for New South Wales.—A 74 gun ship, a frigate, and a brig, sailed from Rio Janeiro on the Ist June, with fifteen vessels bound to England. They intended to call off Pernambuco, for the trade at that port. _ We announced yesterday the arrival of the I'm= slciolO from Gijon and St. Andero, at Portsniouth, with dispatches of the Ist instant. They do not come down so late as the defeat of General DI;PON1 but, As they contain some particulars of the previous operations, their substance was circulated in the fol lowing Bulletin, which appeared in the greater part of our impression yesterday : BULLETIN. " By letters dated St. Andero, the Ist August, it appears, that a Nobleman had arrived there who had escaped from Madrid on the 25th July. He says, that there were not above 12,000 French with Jo- SEMI BONAPARTE, at Madrid ; that they were fortify ing the Reteiro, and that the City was the most afflic ting spectacle possible. Several of the new Ministers had made their escape from Madrid, and as the Duke D'INFANTADO was - not there, it was hoped that he also had escaped. " Official advises have been this morning received from General CASTANO'S Camp, up to the 17th ult. These state,' that General CASTANOS having made all his preparations, and determined on his plan of attack, marched to Andujar on the 15th. General REDING was to pass the River above Manjibar, and attack Baylen. The Marquis DE CONIFFONY was to pass at Villa Nueva, and support General Reomo. General CAsTA9Os, with the 3d division and Reserve, was to attack the Bridges in front.- 1 Lieavnant.Colonel Care was to pass the River atl Mantreolege, and to occupy the Sierra. Colonel VALDE Pnros was to occupy the Puerto • del Rey. " On the 15th General CasrANos took his position and cannonaded the French with effect. General COMPIGITY beat the French at Villa Nuova, and killed about 900 of them. Lieutenant-Colcmel CRUZ was obliged to retire, by the superior numbers of the enemy. General Renttro, with about 8000 men, attacked the enemy, who had about 5000, completely beat them, and took two pieces of cannon ; but from want of provisions was forted to retire to Manjibar. " On the 17th, after a Council of War, it was deter mined to order the Marquis De COMFIGN'Y to join Ge neral R EDING, and it was determined that Baylen should be attacked with two divisions, and a feigned attack to be made on Andujar with the third divi• sion. " By a letter intercepted from General DUPONT to the Doke De Rnvico, it appears that he was in great Ilistress for provisions, and was in hopes of a vein . , ' forcemeat. These particulars naturally led to the glorious events which followed from tke 17th to the gOth:" One fact mentioned in the dispatches is of great importance=--the desertion of many of Josarn's new Ministers._ This proves, what was all along suspect ed, that the Spanish Nobles who Were asseifibled at Bayonne were acting under restraint, and that nothing could be inferred respecting their real send tnemts from any thing published as the act of the Grand Junta assembled in that city. We may therefore soon expect to lipar of their having joined the Patriot Government ; and it is extremely probable that the fitst announcement of this event will be in the shape of a protest again* every thing published as their act, While under coercion at Bayonne. To the contents of the above buletin, we have to aid, that accounts have been received, but not offi cial, stating, that immediately after the battle of Bay len, and the conclusion of the arrangements respect ing the prisoners, General CAsrAsos proceeded to titards Madrid with his army, before which place he was expected to present himself by the end of July i and the most confident expectations were entertained of the signal success of his enterprize. ti Ir. ce, LATER ACCOUNTS. By the Sweuew, of IS guns, which left Corunna so late as the sth inst. and arrived at Plymouth on Monday, dispatches have been received by Govem mein, which are understood to be highly satisfactory. The SWALLOW left at Corunna the ToNANT, of 84 guns; DEFENCE, 74; GIBRALTAR, 84; the AMAZON and DRYAD frigates. A grand illumination took place at Corunaa on the Ist instant, in consequence of a report which had reached that place, and received general credit, that' ' a battle had been fought near Madrid, in which the French lost between twenty and thirty thousand men. Whether the report of the battle near Madrid is to be relied on, we cannot determine ; but it is stated with great confidence, that Marshal BES =RES, having been closely pressed by the Patriots, has been obliged to retreat with his whole army from Leon, to Burgos. It was reported at Corunna that King JOSEPH had already begun to find his residence at Madrid uncom fortable, and that he was preparing to leave it. A letter from Madrid, dated the 27th July, after stating the surrender of DUPONT, says, " General MONCEY, who was in Valencia with 13,000 men, has returned hither with the small re mains of his army. The Arrogonese are defending themselves with the utmost bravery against the at tacks of the French. " The troops of Valencia, which, it is said, are coming to besiege this city, and rescue it from slavery' amount to about 45,000 men ; those of Andalusia to' 50,000; those of Estramadura to 20,000; and of Murcia to 20,000 also. Part of them have already arrived within eight or nine leagues of this city. The populace are in a state of ferment." Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Fo reign Office. The following Members assisted at the deliberations which lasted from two till five o'clock : —the Duke of PORTLAND, Mr. CANNING, Lords HAWICESBURY and CASTLEREAGH, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Lord MULGRAVE. the Earl of CHAT IIAM, and Earl BATHURST. Mr. MERRY had an au dience of the Council. The last arrivals at Cheltenham are— Lords Dorchester and Suffolk ; Sirs W. Brahazon, Hugh Owen. Edward Swynge, Lieutenant-Colonels Balfour, Huskisson, and Syrnes and Lady; Majors Higgins and Jordan; Mr. and Mrs. Addison, E. White; Messrs. Ashwell, Battenbury, Bridges, Carle ton, Cloves, Collier, Currey, Darby, Hill, I.inch, Lister, Little, Metcalf, Milne, Mitchelson, Murdock, Parry, Pouting, Pullen, Simpson, Startin, Strickland, Swan, Walsh, White, and Winter ; Mrs. Bayntun, Morgan, &c. bee. The Spanish Chapel in Manchester•squre is fitting up against Monday next, for the performance of a Te Dam, to celebrate the late glorious victory obtained by the Patriots. The arrival of the Queen of FRANCE and the Duchess of ANGOULESME, in this country, is expected by Louis XVIII. before the end of the present month. MANIA JOSEPHA LOUISA, the expatriated Queen of France, is somewhat more than two years older than her husband. She was the eldest daughter of the late King of Satdinia, VIC'roR AMADEUS 111. by a daughter of Pomp V. King of Spain. Her younger sister married the Count d'Aarois ; but neither of these Princesses was ever distinguished by personal beauty. Madame Royale, Duchess cPANGOULESSIE, who ac companies her, must always deeply interest, from the circumstances of her birth, imprisonment; and mis fortunes, every mind of sensibility. She is now near thirty years of age, by no means handsomt, nor en dowed with any extraordinary talents, but she is ami able, virtuous, benevolent, and inclined to devotion. Though she has been married above nine years to the Duke of ANoortcsmE, her cousin, she has never given an heir to the throne once occupied by her father ; nor is such an event considered as probable to happen, at any future time, by the family of BOURDON. Her suf , ferings, while confined with her father and mother, in the Temple at Paris, during the years 1792 andl799, were such as to undermine, if not to detroy, the strength of her constitution. Even her intellectual powers were impaired or enfeebled by those scenes, at the bare recollection of which humanity shudders. Louis XVIII. does not remove from Gosfield to his new residence, near Aylesbury, in Buckingham shire, before the approaching month of November. The house and gardens, for which he is to pay £550 per annum, are commodious and pleasant; but the former is hardly half furnished. Louts XVIII. is the first titular King of France who has set foot in this country since the year 1364, when JOHN, taken prisoner by the BLACK PRINCE, at the battle of Poic tiers, in 1:356, died in London, at :he Palace of the Savoy, in the Strand. ARMY. .-•-- , , i i Saturday Moining the drZft fre th the three regi-i Illants of Guardi marched froth Linidon for Deal atid eitatham; to join the brigade of Guards at .those *mots, which are now daily expected to embark, the **imports for their reeepdonbeing ne*tly all collected. Those for the brigade fkom Cha.- M at the Nor*, to 'eh the troops are td be touveYed id sniall draft i dime for th e brigade from Deal in the Downs, to be in readiness to proceed to Ranisgate harbour; where that brigade is to be embarked. The 51st R 'egithent marched froth Hilsea Barracks, est Monday, to Chi Chester, to wait until transports are ready for them to embark for Spain. . The East Kent Regiment of Militia has Marched from Bexhill to Winchelsea barracks, Sussex. pit THE ... k , . 1, Upwards of 150 of the York Volunteers haft' Va.. lunteered into the Local Militia. Eleven Officers, ten serjeants, five corporals, four drummers, and 129 privates, in the Doncastcr Vo lunteers, making a total of 159, have volunteered. The whole of the Officers, Non-commissioned Of ficers, and 897 privates of the Halifax regiment of' Volunteer Infantry, have offered their services as Local Militia. The Officers, and upwards of '709 .of the privates of Colonel SYLVPSTER'S regithent of Manchester Volunteers, have also offered their ser vices for Local Militia. The Workington Volunteers, commanded by J. C. CURWEN, Esq. have volunteered to a maa. The Nottinghamshire Militia have volunteered tor Spain. The fine body of Volunteers, called the Craven Legion, under the command of that veteran Com mander, Colonel Lord ItiaßLEsuALE,have volunteered to serve in the Lord Militia. Last week two Companies of the German Legion (Light Dragoons) marched into Maidstone Barracks. The volunteering from the Irish Militia into the Line will commence about the 15th instant. It is concluded, from most of these reg'••ents having al ready expressed an ardent desire to be employed on foreign service, particularly in favour of the Spa : - niards, that the quota to be given froth each will be filled up in the course of a few hours. The Haddington battalion of Volunteet Infantry, commanded by the Right Hon. Lord SINCLAIR, have made an offer of their service (to become Local Mi litia)-to the Earl of HADDINGTON, Lord Lieutenant of the county. We have already stated, that DuroxT, in order to prevent the Spaniards fromottacking him, had placed a number of priests, women, and children, whom he had made prisoners, in the front of his army. Before the battle of Baylen, they were however set at libefty, in consequence of a message from General CASTAXOS, who informed DUPONT, that painful as the task must be, he would do his duty to his country, and attack him ; but that if the innocent blood of those persons was ed, he would take ample vengeance on the French, for he would give no quarter. A General Court Martial was held on Monday, nt the Royal Marine Barracks, on Captain LAWSON, of the Royal Marines, at his own request, which termi nated in a few'hours. The result is not yet known. KING OF SWEDEN AND SIR JOHN MoollE.—The gal lant British Officer, who was painfully compelled to withdraw the expedition destined under his command for the aid of Sweden, has fully satisfied his own Sovereign that his conduct on this extraordinary oc casion was strictly conformable to his instructions. Our Government are not disposed, we believe, any longer to conceal the principal circumstances of this extraordinary misunderstanding, which, from Sir Join.: Mooftes statement, are understood to be briefly these : That having announced to his Swedish Majesty, at Stockholm, the arrival of his force off Gottenburgh,' he received orders to land his army, and proceed without delay to storm the impregnable fortress of Sweaburgh. Sir JOHN knowing that he could not obey these orders consistently with his instructions from England,immediately set off post for Stockholm, accompanied by his Deputy Adjutant General, and being admitted to an audience,he stated to his Swedish Majesty the extent of the instructions which he had received from his own . Government ; these, it is now understood, were limited to a co-operative inva sion of Norway, or defence of Finland. The King, not satisfied with this explanation, demanded an im mediate obedience to his own orders : this, the British General said, he found it his painful duty to decline : his Majesty, turning instantly upon his heel, withdrew, with apparent indignation, to an adjoining apartment. Sir JOHN, after waiting a short time, returned also to his hotel, where he had scarcely been seated, when a Swedish Aid-du-Camp attended him, and informed him, " that it was his Majesty's pleasure that he, Sir " JOHN, SlIOUld considerhimself as confined to his apart ment in Stockhom, until the King of Great Britain's " sentiments should be further known, and received " by his Swedish Majesty on this subject, and " for which one of the King's Messengers had been " instantly dispatched to England !" Under this ex traordinary arrest Sir JOHN MOORE remained nearly a week, when, recollecting the temper and character of the authority he had to contend with, he contrived, with his Adjutant General, to effect a secret retreat in the night from Stockholm, travelling with such ra pidity as to reach Gottenburgh, distant nearly 400 miles, in less than 50 hours, when, re-embarking on board his fleet, he instantly ordered it under weigh for England, having previously stopped one month's sub sidy, which, was about to be landed. The above will. be found a pretty correct statement of this strange misunderstanding, and to demonstrate, that, whatever may be its political issue, Sir JOHN MOORE acted throughout this unpleasant affair with a firmness and discretion in all respects becoming the character of a British Cqmmander. A poor woman applied last week to the Overseers of a parish in the City for relief, and among other particulars stated, that she had had seventeen chil dren.—" What was your husband, good woman ?" " He was a labouring man, Sir." Mrs. JANET RICHARDSON, who lately died at An nan, ac the age of 78 years, practised 59 as a midwife, and in the course of that time ushered into the world upwards of 1500 children. Yesterday the Lord Mayor ordered the price of bread to be continued at Ind. the quartern loaf of wheaten, and 10.1 d. lwusehold. liAbiid4L • lAITELLIG.Ekci. TORII" AUGUST a.

A LESSON FOR BUCRS.—Yesterclay as a Buck of the first blood and fashion was walking with a careless but graceful air through Bond -street, and brandishing his lounging stick at every object that presented itself in the way, he casually touched a baker's basket, full of Mead, which lay at a shop door : with the quickness of lightning he was furiously attacked by the watch ful dog which lay beside it. The baker not being at hand, the dog disobeyed all orders ; nor did he let go the hold he got of the Gentleman's boot and leg, till the former was torn to pieces, and the latter a good deal lacerated. An unfortunate occurrence took place on Sunday evening, at Lansdown, near Bath. It has been long a custom on the Sunday preceding Lansdown Fair, for the young people to assemble on the Down, and amuse themselves with the usual sports and pastimes of what they term Lansdown Revels ' • but the present High Constable for the Hundred of Bath Forum, Mr.DUNCAN CAMPBELL, was fully determined to sup press all tumultuous and pugilistic proceedings. Un happily something occurred that occasioned his inter ference, and meeting with resistance, he at last had recourse to a pisol, and shot a man of the name of Strong in the abdomen. The poor fellow is not yet dead, hut the surgeons have no hope of his recovery ; he lies at a house on the Down, and his brother who was dreadfully beaten about the head, is in the same room. Mr. Campbell with difficulty escaped the vengeance of the mob, and surrendered himself up to Mr. Justice WHITE, who committed him to prison. Mr. Campbell is a man of family and fortune, and has been particularly active in his office.
