••" a IO F THE EVENING STAR, LONDON. ' MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1818. AtL SAT xrs.--tiotiday at the Stock Exchange, Dispatches were last night received at Lord BA: I.:muses Office from Marquis Wrzustermr, dated at Vera, on the French side of the Pyrenees, on the 18th of October. They detail a trifling stair which oe turred oa the night between the 12th and 13th, in which the Ftenchsurprized the advanced posts of the iSpanish army, and carried a redoubt, taking 40 men land, 100 prisoners► On the morning of the 18th ) Rushed with success, the French pushed forward upon General GrnoN's division of the Spanish army, but they were repulsed " without difficulty"—an addi tional proof of the improving value of the Spaniards. The following Bulletin was issues' by Government upon the occasion : " WAR DEPARTMENT, otToara Si, 11113. •" Dispatches have been received from Lord War.- LINGTON, dated Vera, Oct. 18, from which it ap. pears, that on the night of the 12th, the enemy at tacked and carried the redoubt in the camp of Savre, Which was held by a piquet of forty men of the Army of Reserve of Andalusia, who were taken, together with an hundred prisoners. There is reason to believe that they were surprised. After having obtained possession ,of the redoubt, the enemy made an attack, on the morning of the 18th, upon the advanced posts of the Army of Andalusia, under Lon PEDRO GIRON, which was repulsed by them without difficulty. Lord WELLINGTON speaks highly of the conduct of the Spa. nish troops engaged, and particularly of the regiment of Ordeties, under Colonel Hoax. Nothing important had occurred in any part of the line. ' The enemy bad been considerably rein. forced by bodies of recruits railed by the recent con. scription." , The Speedy► Packet bas arrived at Plymouth with Mails from Malta. Sicily, sad Gibraltar. She sailed from Malta on the 12th &September, frets Sicily en the 24th, and from Gibraltar on the 18th of October. With regret we learn, that when the Speedy left Malta the deaths averaged thirty-three pet day, and the fever at Gibraltar raged with great violence.— The fever at Cadiz also continued s•-Fourteen died daily. It is again reported in the City, that Dresden and Leipsic are in the hands of the Allies, and the Stocks are rather looking up, although a holiday at the Bank. French Papers to the 29th ult. reached town at a late hour last night. Their contents are important, in as much as they briefly allude to a series of sangui nary actions which must have taken place in Saxony. On the 19th the French Head-quartets were at Weis senfels, and on that day the EMPEROR is reported to have again beaten the enemy. He was at Duben from the 10th to the 13th, probably directing the operations against Dessau, undertaken by Marshal Nay, on the 11th and 12th, and which merely ended in pushing TAUENZIEN'S and THIIMEN'S corps across the Elbe.— At Erfurt it was reported that on the 11th and 12th the PRINCE ROYAL OF SWEDEN and General Btu- CHER'S armies were beaten. These affairs, we apprehend, were precisely those which we have just alluded to. A new battle fought on the 14th, near Dessau, in which the Prussians were completely defeated, is also hinted ati This may have been merely another blow against the corps lett to watch Dessau, and who may have been thereby prevented from pressing forward upon the rear of the French army. Marshal NIT seen to have had the post of honour assigned him, in having the command of what must now• be considered as BoNantares rear-guard. . From the contents of these papers it is tolerably evident, that BONAPARTE has abandoned the project of wintering in Berlin, and is cutting his way to the Rhine. No grand battle, however, had taken place up to the 20th, or if there was, it could not have been to the advantage of the French. Lvtry step BONA PARTRnow takes in his retreat is in favour of the Al lies, for it gives them the population of the countries though which he passes to add to their numbers. Saturday, the Paws Ratan' arrived at Carleton. House, accompanied by Colonel THORNTON. The Duke of CAARENCE dined with his Royal brother. Friday night the LORD CHANCiLLOR arrived in town. On Saturday his Lordship attended a Cabinet Council at the Foreign Office. Yesterday at three O'clock another Cabinet Council was held at the same place. Lord CLARE aid Lord CARDIGAN, it is said, will move and second the Address in the House of Peers. ROYAL Hosca.—Friday morning a deer was turned out near the Golden Ba p s at Bragwell, which started rith great speed through the woods and enclosures 4 Benfield, took along the road, and crossed the Common to White Walshant, then to the right by Holly Park, and through the fields toward Maiden ilead, near to which he crossed the Thames, and peedily recrossed it, followed close by the hounds, 'wards Clewer, where he again took to the Thames, znd lodged himself in one of the aytes near Windsor, whence he was soon dislodged by the dogs, and then took back to the Windsor side of the water, whence 4 ran through the enclosures towards Winkfield Plain, and, taking to the left leaped the wall of Wind. :or Great Park, which be crossed with much speed, and, after an excellent run of four hours, he was taken to the lett of the Park. Among the few who kept up to the end of the chase were two Ladies of the name of STEVE/IS.

Accounts reached the Admiralty this morning of the loss of his Majesty's ship LAURESTINUS, Captain Gaaaaat, on the 26th August last, off the Bahamas. The crew, with the exception of one man, were saved. A dreadful hurricane prevailed on the above day, and considerable damage was done to the other shipping at the Bahamas. The schooner General Burgoyne, of Padstow, GEORGE WILLIAMS master, on her passage from Lla. nelly to that place, with a cargo of coals, was totally lost on the 20th ult. in a gale at S.

The Danes however have succeeded in landing there some supplies, but in such small quantities, that the relief experienced was but transitory. On the 14th, 'there was a dreadful gale at Gottenburgh, which did con siderable damage to a large convoy collecting there under the CHEROKEE, Captain RAMAGE; THRACIAN, Captain CARTER; FLAMER, Captain EALDwIN ; and APELLES, Captain M , Vican.

The accumulation of business at the Custom-house for entries outwards has been so great, that the clerks have found it impossible within these few days to dis charge the duties required. Thursday 600 cockers were issued. Thursday morning, between one and two o'clock, the house of Mr. Flanagan, corn-factor, in Smithfield, Dublin, fell down. A woman of the name of Finn ket, and two boys who were apprentices of Mr. F.'s, lay buried in the ruins, until the prompt and indefati gable exertions of some young men in the neighbour hood rescued the woman and the elder boy from a sudden death. Some time elapsed before the younger boy was discovered, and every means to restore life proved ineffectual.—This lamentable event is ascribed to a greater quantity of corn having been heaped at one side of the house than at the other. 7, 1' THE ARM?.

On the hills in the not them districts, and also on some in the central counties of Gloucester and Oxford, where early sowing is necessary, the young Wheats have planted well. The Clover-seed crops have suf fered materially in most parts, except on warm soils, from which they were gathered in the dry season,. The Potatoes have afforded, generally, a large pro duce. The Turnip crops have recovered from the stunt which they got during the drought; and now promise to be abundant. The continuing fall in all kinds of Grain has occa sioned considerable alarm through the landed in terest ; although the reduced prices are evidently caused by the immediate general necessity of turning a certain quantity of corn into money, and the faci lity with which the threshing mills have effected this object. This has naturally given the mercantile spe culator a temporary advantage over the agriculturist, of which the Public, unfortunately, have not their due share. The Hay markets are considerably lower. Lean Stock, both in sheep and cattle, is also lower. from the shortness of food ; but good Beef and Mut ton somewhat exceed their last month's prices. Good Cart Horses are as dear as ever. No alteration in the Wool markets. An order has been issued by the Lords of the Treasury to permit French wines imported under licence, and now actually warehoused for exporta tion, to be entered for home consumption, on pay ment of the proper duties, provided such wines shall be cleared and the duties paid on or before the sth of April next.
