Long Ann. 1815-10th 19 C6ns. for arc.. 68f The intelligence brought from Oporto, by the PLovete sloop of war, comes down to the 22e1 ult.— It was hoped that by this time some of the details would have been made public, but in fact, the only intelligence received, is what we stated in the greater part of our impression yesterday. The army of the Patriots, which consists of about 8000 regulars and 12,000 peasants, had advanced beyond Coimbra. The French General LotsoN had sent a part of his forces to join a corps under General LABORDE, who had been sent by Ju! , OT from Lisbon to Santarena, and which had advanced to Leira with the view, as reported, of attacking the Patriots. It appears evident from these movements, that the enemy were desirous to bring the Patriots to an en engagement before the arrival of Sir ARTHUR WEL LE.sLey, who at the date of these dispatches, was off Cape Finisterre. The Patriots, however, would hardly be taken in such a snare, for they were aware of the vicinity of the British, Sir ARTHUR having sent taem from Corunna a notice of his approach. A letter from an Officer belonging to the PLOVER states, that the Expedition was expected to arrive off the :oast of Portugal en the 24th, and that the inten tior of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY was to land hip t ro ,-,ps at Figueira, distant about 26 leagues from Li•lon, to which the roads were excellent, and the country admirably adapted for the species of warfare that was intended to be pursued. The report was again revived yesterday, that his Roya l . Highness the Duke of Yonic is to have the command of the Expeditions destined for Spain and Portugal. We cannot doubt that his Royal High ness, were he solicited, would as readily and zealously lend his arm, and expose his person in such a cause, as any other Officer in the British service ; but not hav ing learnt that Alli. 4 .thls have extresred a wish tint the son of our Sovereign should expose Linarlf in the _field, we give no cr.elit to the report. A Gentleman who left Holland on the 28th, says, that letters received there from Paris, asserted that DUPONT had been successful, and having received reinforcements, had marched to Seville. Three Members of the Junta, it is said, had been made pri soners. We mention these reports, though, consi dering that they are propagated by the enemy, they are certainly entitled to very little credit. Dispatches for Sir SIDNEY SMITH were sent last night to Plymouth, to be forwarded to the Brazils. Lord LovAINE left town on Sunday night, for pain. Generals Sir Wm. ERSKINE and ABERCROMBIE left town yesterday for Scotland. The Portuguese Ambassador lead an interview with Lord MULGRAVE yesterday. Yesterday Count MATAROSA, the Spanish Admiral, Ceneral JACOMIE, &c. dined with the Fishmongers' Company. Two hundred and fifty thousand pikes have been sent from this kingdom to Spain, and are now in the hands of the Patriots. An additional order for 91,000 stand of arms has been del:vered at the Tower, which are to be shipped to Spain and Portugal with the utmost expedition. —Tf -day no Court of Aldermen being held, the Lou, MAyort, after inspeciog the re:urns, ordered the price to remain,as last week. Two if.tys ago, as s'me workmen were "employed in repairirg the wails of a greenhouse belonging to L'rd Southami t at, in the vicinity of pert of the suddenly gave way, and unfortu na ely crushed to death three of the men, and bruised two eth rs so much that but faint hopes are ent T.:6s ed of their recovery.

In addition to the list of the Scar of General Dos- RARD'S army, already given in the STAR, we are now enabled to add the names of the knowing Officers I Lieutenant-Colonel Coati, Deputy Adjutant-General. Do Ira x, Deputy Quarter-Mastet-Getseral. Captains WIIZATLY and BDRRARD, of the Poet Guards, Aids du-Camp to Sir HASKY BURRARD. Colonel limo:m.4o'c° command the Royal Artillery.

Fifty soil of transports that were under Dunge. ness got antler weigh on Sunday, and stood down the Channel. The following are the positions of the French in Spain: as far as they can be ascertained from the va rious documents and rumours which have reached us. There were two strong divisions in and near Pampe lona ; I.lEssinaes' force, about 18,000 men, was on the frontiers of Biscay ; it was this force which the Bishop of St. ANnano was marching against with the Astu rian levies. LASSoLES was at Valladolid; a French force was near Saragossa ; another occupied Barce lona ; MURAT'S division was at or near Madrid ; Du tioNT was shut up at Andujar ; and General MONCEY was in Valencia. These several corps, and the force with which JUNOT occupies Lisbon, composed the whole of the French army beyond the Pyrennees, at the commencement of this month. The first and greatest of the roads, which conducts str4ght to Madrid from, France, is the one occupied by BJNAPARTE, and which JOSEPH has taken in his routefrom Bayonne to that city. It lies for near 22 leagues through the Pyrenees, before they sink into easy acclivities, between Mondragon and Vittoria.— At every step an army is exposed to attack ; but NA POLEON is completely master of the country from the ilidassoa quite to Vittoria. The second grand entrance into Spain is from Per pignan to Barcelona, through Bellegarde, La Jan- Tierra, and the famous pass of Figuerras, in Catalo nia. About fifty miles of this road lie through the Gorges of the Pyrenees, where, in many places, a hundred armed peasants'may arrest an army. Neither horses, provisions, nor accommodations are to be found between Bellegarde and the city of Girona. A third roast conducts from Bayonne, by a small town called St. Jean Pied de Port into Navarre, to the capital of that province, Pampeluna. It is a most dan gerous ; and almost impracticable entrance, through perpetual defilcs and prodigious mountains, which can only be passed between May and the end cf Oc- tobcr. There is a fourth road, from Tarbes, in Bigorre, along the valleys that divide that proviace from Ar ragon,which conducts to Saragossa. It passes through the Spanish towns of Jaca and Huesca► ; but it is ra ther a track pervious to muleteers, during summer, than a road by which any troops can pass. In winter, the snows and the wolves render• it totally impassable. The Dutch fishermen, so long detained prisoners of war at Yarmouth, and who were lately liberated, have reached their own coast in safety, The owners of the fishing vessels at Scheveling have addressed a letter of thanks to the inhabitants of Yarmouth and Lowestoffe, for their benevolent assistance to those poor peop!e. The alris:iana Mercer!, of the 2d ult. gives the fol, lowing account of the action in which the Seagull was sunk :`." On the 19th ult. the English cutter brig Seagull, Captain CATHCART, of 16 24-pounder carronades, was attacked by our cutter brig Lougenj commanded by Lieut. Wcur, and tour of our gun boats, three miles West of Flekkeroe. The action, which was seen from a point above, and every shot heard in the town, began at 4ve o'clock, P. M. and continued until aquarter before seven, when the enemy struck. The vessel lies a complete wreck, at Foswlg, a little to the westward of Flekkeroe, where she was hauled in after the battle." Return of the Seagull's crew, signed by the Com mander at Christiansand Captain Robert Cathcart, slightly wounded; Ist Lieutenant Hatton, lost his right arm ; 2tt Lieutenant Adam Whitt, and Andrew Martin, ma':er, killed; James Wilson, I), , atswain, slightly wounded ; 7 petty °Seers, 2 pilots, 77 seamen, prisoners, besides six ladit s, who were on board. Sunday evening dr. neighbourhood of Deal had a very heavy stcrm of thunder and lightning which continued a great while : we have not heard of its having done any mischief. Wednesday evening, during the severe storm of rain, 18 French prisoners escaped from the BAHAMA prison-ship, at Gillinz;ham, by means of cutting two large holes in the ship's side. Thirteen have since been taken, but the other five have not yet been heard of. ----- - On Saturday se'nnight, between one and two o'clock, a mill in Ditton, belonging to J. WATKINS, Esq. was struck by lightning, which carried away one of the sails and the back, nearly blew off the roof on both sides, burst the two iron hoOps with the wind shaft, injured the wind wheel, and split the wind shaft from the neck nearly to the tail and gudgeon, and set the roof on fire in two places—then descend ing, it tore up the trap doors and three boards ad joining, without doing any further injury to the mil ler's father, who was sitting about 18 inches from the trap doors at the time, than scorching his hands ; his watch was also stopped. Another man was com ing, down the ladder from the upper room at t he t ime, who Id not receive any injury. It blew both the doors of the round house open, and took a large piece from the bottom of the shaft. Tuesday, that fine wooded bank, immediately op posite to Springfield paper mill, near Edinburgh, slipped with a dreadful crash, into the river Esk, which runs at the bottom, and so completely chinked it up, that not a drop of water passed for several hours. The bank, which is about 200 feet in height, ,had discovered -mptoms of agitation on the•prece. ding day, and for about an hour before it gave way, the agitation was extremely violent, and the trees were seen falling in all directions—but, when it began to more in a body, it was awfully grand and terrific, and the noise was equal to the loudest thunder. THE ARMY. Ilis Gernian Cavalry remain on board the trans. ports in the Downs, waiting the embarkation of the Guards and other regiments, which will take place this week. General MOORSIIKADiS regiments the 51st, com manded by that able officer Lieutenant-Colonel MAIN., waaiso, having been completed for service under the eye of Lieutenant-General Sir Join( Dong, Bart. Li eutenan t-Governor of Jersey, has been marched to Chichester. Among many others the following Scotch Volun• teen have offered for the Local Militia :--The Aber deen, Ist and 2d battalions of the Royal Edinburgh, the Edinburgh Royal Highland Volunteers, Loyal Edinburgh, Loyal Leith, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, and Mid Lothian Artillery; and the western regiment of Mid Lothian Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Major WALICZA. The numbers of English, Scotch, and Irish Tee mots of Militia who volunteer their services in Spain increase daily, particularly the Irish. The Buffs with General EZRESPORD are imme diately to proceed from Madeira for the army in the Mediternineart t so healthy has the army been in Ma deira, that the General has sent all the Doctors home or to the West Indies, . The levying two battalions of Highlanders for the Duke of KENT'S Regiment, the Ist, or Scots Royals, has been already entered on. This is the oldest Re giment in the British service, 'if not in Europe, and are commonly called Pontius Pilate's Goards. From the great popularity of the Duke, and his attach ment to Highland solcliers, it is etpected that he will very speedily raise his two new battalions. A strong battalion is about to be formed from the different divisions of the Royal Marines, which is destined for Spain. Yesterday the Denbigh Militia, who have been doing the duty of the prison-ships at Chatham, were relieved by the North York Militia, and marched into the barracks at Fort Pitt. Saturday se'nnight the 10th and last troop of the 2d Dragoons or Scots Greys landed at Dcinaghadee from Port Patrick. Monday se'nnight the Ist division of the 7th Gar rison battalion marched from Galway for Athlone. They are to be replaced by the 6th Garrison Batta- Lion;the first divisien of which marched into Galway same day. Same day, the Ist division of the 21st Foot, which had been stationed at Belfast for some time, marched from thence on their route to Enniskillen. General Orders issued by his Excellency Lord Vis count CATHCART, after the review on Burntsfield Links on Friday se'nnight 6 ' The Commander of the Forces having been present yester day at a field day of the lit Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Vo lunteer infantry, and of the Ist battalion of the 2d Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, when both battalions were exer cised together on Burntsfield Links by the Right Hon. CHA acts Hort, approves most highly of their appearance and performance in all respects, and is satisfied tliat their discipline and instruction are such as would enable them to act with advantage in the line with any troops in any service." Saturday se'nnight the 2d battalion of' the 56th Regiment arrived at Cowes, from Guernsey, and marched to Sandown Barracks. The Commanding Officers of the Romsey, Mil bn;ok, and Touon Volunteers, have.offered to change their services to the Local Militia. Thursday a troop of the sth Dragoon Guards marched into the Horse Barracks in Southamptott. Friday 100 recruits for the 24th Regiment em barked at Southampton for Guernsey. The Bedford Militia, quartered at Southampton during the Assizes at Winchester, have received their route for Daventry, in Northamptonshire, and will march from thence to-morrow. The Royal Bucks, or King's Own Regiment et Militia, commanded by Lord TEMPLE, on their pa:' rade at East Bourne, on Friday last, volunteered to a man, in offering their services to any part of Europe" in the present momentous crisis, upon a promise, (as stated in Lord TEMPLE'S letter) that they shall in no case be separated from their officers or their colours ; and in the confidence that proper provision will be made for their families during their absence. An augmentation of ten companies of Royal Ma rines, is added to the Woolwich division. The following promotions have taken place in the Royal Marines : Major Tane, to be Lieutenant Colonel, by brevet }--Major Home, to be Lieutenant Colonel. Brevet Major William Henry Boyes, to be Major. First Lieutenants James Wilson, John Wright, Robert Com mins, J. Honeytnan, George M'Gie, Jacob Harrison, M. L Jennings, William Bowden, James Grian, R. C. Lawson, J. G. Peakc, John 'Wins, Hugh Ross, Robert Philips, Donald Camp bell, R. Perry,.T. Alden, A. Anderson, H. Gartliwalte, Fre derick Delmont, T. Mathews, T. 'lipoid, Henry Priddle, F. Lambert, Robert Grace, L. Perron, Thomas Clarke, and 'Tho mas Phillips, to be Captains. Several Martello towers are about to be built on the Suffolk coast : five of them are to be in the parish of Bawdsey, and will command the shores of Hoseley Bay, and. the entrance of Woodbriige and Orford Havens. A considerable quantity of the materials for these batteries have already been landed on the coast. In the course of this week, a general Court Mar tial is ordered to assemble at the Royal Marine Bar racks, Chatham, for the trial of Captain Lawson, at his own request. Colonel Flamm is the prose cutor. THE BALTIC. Yesterday dispatches were received from Sir hams SAUMAItat, dated the 19th ult. off the Isle of Moe;. They do not bring any news of importance ; but we tutdostand they state, that the French troops in that and the other neighbouring Danish islands conduct themselves in the most oppressive and insulting man. ner to the inhabitants.—They respect neither persons nor property, seize whatever they like, without pay. ing for it, and exercise a wanton and unlimited autho. rity in the place. By the Catvrxi sloop of war arrived at Yarmouth with dispatches from the Baltic, we have received the following intelligence from that quarter : The Go. LIAR man of war, having previously reconnoitered the coast of the Island of Rugen, was dispatched by Sir S. HOOD, on the 26th of June, from Ystadt roads, to strengthen, in the first instance, the light squadron which was cruizing between Dantzic and the Gulf of Finland. She was afterwards to proceed off Liebau in - Courland, where the EURYALUS frigate already was, to wait the arrival of the Duke and Duchess (1 . ANoovz.Zasr, and such of the French emigrants who, adhering to the fortunes of Louts XVIII followed him to Russia, as might be desirous to come to this country, amounting in the whole to about 130 per. sons. ----- According to the latest accounts from St. Peters burgh, the influence of BONAPA RTC over the Em prawn and his brother the Grand Duke CorrsrnwriNe, has undergone no diminution. It was a prevalent opi. nion there, that the adherence of the latter to the in. terests of France had been purchased by NAPotcaN, with the promise that he should be seated on the Throne of Turkey, upon the dissolution of the pre- sent Government. At Stockholm it was pretty generally believed, that BERNADOTtC had demanded from the Court of Denmark the cession of Holstein, and moreover a contribution of several millions of dollars. His Da nish Majesty, in consequence, it was said, had entered into a negociation for peace with England, in which Sweden was to be included. Their Prussian Majesties, alarmed, it is said, at some movements of the French troops on the Viltula, have, we understand, removed from Koningsburgh to Memel. The cause of the peasants about Wasa rising en masse is thus given, in a letter from Kasco, brought to Stockholm by a fisherman Mr. FALANDINIUI old and eminent merchant of Wasa, having been or dered to swear allegiance to the Emperor of ReSSTA, refused obstinately, and even exhorted those around him rather to be shot than to degrade themselves.— This so exasperated the Russians, that they took the worthy gentleman and sent him as prisoner to Fredni shamn. On the road he met mar y peasants whom he knew, and he told them pr i vately that he hoped his old friends, whom he ?s p.l often trusted with corn, salt, and tobacco, world assist the Swedish army, now approaching, to drive the Russi..ns away, and to set hint at liberty. The rum:ur of the good Falander (as they called him) having been dragged from his home soon spread about, and no sooner did the Swedes land at Wasa, than these brave friends of Falander fell upon all the Cossack vedettes and p and made them prisoners. The bloody battle oi Wasa followed, which begun with the slaughter of the Swedes, but ended in the complete destruction . of the Russians. The general rumour is here, that when Colonel BaRGANSTROLT approached the short with his squadron, on the 24th of June, a boat carrie out from a bay, to inform him that the Rus sians had evacuated that part of the country. The messengers, however, were no other than two Rus sians disguised as peasants. This stratagem succeed ed bat too well, for the first column, of 200 men, ailio was sent to recor.noitre, and to occupy Wasa, tinding no enemy, was led into a snare, and perished every one—for no sooner were they come within the town, than guns opened upon them frorn several houses and avenues, so as to preclude all possibility of escape, or to defend themselves. But this success cost the Russians dear—for when the other troops and those of Klalloseoa came up, no quarter was given, and 50J Russians are said to have atoned for :he massacre of the Swedes : the peasants could not be restrained, and it was with the greatest difficulty that C aonel eAsDLERCREUTS could save 590 pri soners from the hands of are enraged populace. The official report is gone to the King, and you will soon see it in the papers." Last Tuesday barley harvest was begun at Stoney. :own,. Rubieslaw, Aberdeen, in a field belonging to Y Mr, ARQUHAR. • At Forres the barley harvest was begut♦ upon the 19th tut, since which time, a good deal more has been cut down. On the 21st ult. there was cut down, near Canon mills, a small field of barley, completely ripe. The pea harvest, which is generally begun in the eastern part of Kent, promises a fair average crop. Some tarmers have already hegun their wheat-cut ting, and it will become general this week. Hops continue to look uncommonly well in the neighbour hood of Canterbury, and our accounts from every part of the county are equally favourable. ROWING Marcu.—Yesterday, according to annual custom, six young men, the term of whose appren ticeship expired in the course of the last twelve month:, started from the Old Swan, near London-bridge, to row against tide to the Swan at Chelsea, for Dog gett's Coat and Badge ; when GEORGE NzwELL, of Battle-bridge, having first arrived at the destined spot', .was , declared the victor. T. LOWDER and J. KINOS WW I of Bankside, who came in second and third, received the usual pecuniary gratuity. Boxixo. -.- Early yesterday morning, a pitched battle was fought on Kennington Common, between a baker named Smith, and one Johnnie, a butcher. This quarrel originated in consequence of the im proper conduct of the former to the sister of the lat ter. Smith had the best of the battle until the 20th round ; his antagonist then, who, notwithstanding, had been much beaten during the fight, gave him perhaps some as hard blows as ever were witnessed, when he became the conqueror after a severe contest of nearly 40 minutes. The baker was then obliged to be carried off the ground, having received a roll compensation for his former shameful conduct towards the young woman. r- -
