They meet daily at the above place, where all Communications respecting the Election are re quested to be addressed. And, in consequence of the misre presentations which have been circulated, they feel it incumbent upon them publicly to declare, that their Canvass is neither in conjunction with, nor in opposition to, any other Candidate.

LXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MADRID, DATED THE 14TII FEBRUARY. The whole df the boasted army of the Royalists, to which so many Generals have been appointed, never exceeded 12,000 men, including those of O'Don- Lel; for as fast as they were marched down, they watt over to the Patriots, who only began with two thousand, and they now exceed those of the King. It is said Freyre has sent in his resignation; and the report atone has made manor people in Cadiz think of getting their valuables to a place of safety. The King remains firm, and swears the people shall have Lo Cortes, no Constitution. He either relies confi dently on foreign aid, or expects a miracle will be wrought in his favour; and indeed with this view. an the Saints in Heaven are placed in requisition, through 9A/intercession of the Monks and Friars. GOD knows in what..io will end ; but it is well understood the re volutionary spirit spreads rapidly, as it comes in con• tact with elements well prepared. , g On the 9th, a decree of banishment was passed against Abisbal, who has been sent off to one of the castles . of Catalonia. Thus has terminated the career of the man Ferdinand had 'chosen to hurl his ven geance across the Atlantic, but who betrayed his countrymen. Empecinado has made another re monstrance to the King, giving him advice ; but the, latter says, that it is money, and not advice, that he stands in need of. It is said, that forty-four of the patriotic Officers volunteered to attack the Cortadura themselves, if they were allowed. Freyre destroyed the bridge of San Alexandro, at Port 6t. Mary's, to keep his men beyond the contagion of La Isla, as the river Guadalete is not fordable at this season.— There is another bridge, near the Carthusian Con vent of Xeres. The King seldom goes out, since he has had an opportunity of seeing he is not popular, I'asquinades are posted about the streets every night, notwithstanding the police has been doubled. Num bers have been arrested." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.. - SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1820. .~..s • • 11.'. ••• - ._ _ THE FUNDS. PRICK OP STOCKS THIS DAY AT -ONS O'CLOCK I per Cent. Reduced but per Cent.

We have the best authority for stating, that although the Public Accounts for the current quarter will ex hibit a falling off in the Trade of the country to the amount of some millions, there will, on the whole Revenue, be no deficiency; but, •n the contrary, in cluding the last new Taxes, a considerable surplus. Our intelligence from Ireland, received this morn ing, is of an alarming description. We shall endea vour to corn prize the different accounts in as few words as possible. From Abascragh, a village in Galway, on the bor ders of the County of Roscommon, we learn, that the Police was attacked by the country people who had assembled on Sunday to hear Mass. The Po lice-men being unprepared, were severely beaten. — At Kilconnel, in Galway, an aff: ay took place be tween the Police and Ribbonmen. The combat was well contested, but the former were overpowered by numbers, and two were killed. Twelve Ribbonmen were marched into Tuam, on Sunday, under an es cort of the 78th ltegiment from Nloylough, and next morning dispatched to Galway. From the County of Clare we learn, that the ports of Ballinvilla and Colnaclea, on the borders of Mayo, were attacked on the night of Friday se'nnight by a party of Ribbonmen, hem Roscommon. Their ob ject was to force their way into Mayo, but they were' driven back with the loss of two killed and one mortally wounded. The latter, who appears to be a man of considerable respectability, evinced great con trition fur his offence, admitted he met his late in re bellion against the King's Government, begged par don of (ion for the crime, and hoped his deluded companions would return to their allegiance. The Mayo Constitution of Monday, says, that g . g the mail-guard and passengers, who arrived here last night (Sunday), state, that eight or nine dead bodies, (Police-men, we fear, from the description) were lying on the road, yesterday, as the coach passed by, near Ahascragh, in the County of Galway. It is much to be apprehended that these unfortunate men were surpri zed and murdered by the rebels. A great crowd was seen at a short distance from them. The coach passed hastily on, and we have no particulars of an affair so eminently calculated to produce the most anxious concern. The following letter from Mr. BRowas to the Marquis of Smoo, is something like General PA Eif dispatches to the Supreme Chief of Venezuela. To be serious—we must express' our regret, that Mr. Baowsz has given a sort of military character to the events he describes, for, as yet, we scarcely think that the banditti and their movements ought to be treated with so much respect: " Clare. February ?A, 1840. My Loan—Herewith I transmit a detailed statement of the' events that have occurred here during the last few days. Oa the night of Tuesday, the 22d instant, the rebels from the counties of Roscomr.fon and Galway made a concentrated movement through the pass towards Mayo, between Dunmacreena and Bebnuuut, haviug taken advantage of the absence of Captain Higgins, who had been detached from thence a few days before to Kilmaine, to observe their movements on that side. " Their numbers may probably have amounted to twelve or thirteen hundred men : and while a rebel column of 500 men w as posted before Dunmacreena, to keep the detachment sta . tinned there in check, they passed into Mayo, broke into several columns and proceeded towards the different villages, in the di rection of Musickfield and Ballindangan, to swear the people of those village., and were immediately fallen in with by a patrole of the 39th regiment, under the directi:m of the Rev. Denis Browne, and checked in their proceedings. In the meantime, notwith standing the determination of those ruffians to attack the post at Dunmacreena, Captain Crean formed the resolution to detach a party in their rear to attack them, and succeeded in making eight prisoners, and petting a column of them to the route; but fear ing they might attack Dunmacreena, he countermarched and lodged his prisoners at the Barracks, when the symptoms of at tack, on the part of the Insurgents, continued to increase.— lie therefore determined instantly to transmit the prisoners to Clare, to the Right Hon. Denis Browne, under an escort of Yeomanry, who were attacked on the road near Ballindangan, by a party of rebels, collected together from the columns that had been previously dispersed. They were obliged to fire four voliies on the Insurgents, whom they drove off, after making their leader prisoner ; and from the quantity of blood which ap peared on the road, it is supposed some of the assailants must have been severely wounded. " An express in the mean time reached Clare, when the Right Honourable Denis Browne and Colonel Browne advanced with a party of the 59th Regiment of Foot, under the command of Major D'Arcy, to the assistance of the Yeomanry, and were joined on the road, by Dominick Browne, Esq. Member for the County, his brother, Mr. George Browne, and Doctor Keane, of Castlebar, with a number of Gentlemen and armed Servants from Castle Mount-Garrett, who iucceeded in driving those miscreants into the County 0 Galway, without coming in con- r-- g 4 tset with them, loge which time the posts have been reitiorced and tranquillity restored. I have the honour to be, my Lord, ' " Yost very obedient Servant, " HENRY BROWNS. The Marquis of Sligo, Governor of Mayo, &c." We have been informed of a curious fact respect ing a part of Genetal D'Esnoteux's corps, and in some points of view it ii of importance. Theinfor mation to Svtich we glade is very generil, - , lbilt-is distinctly asserted; that a body of men raised by Ge neral DTVEREUX, and sent out by him to theNorthT ern part of the Peninsula of South America, hadef fected a landing on the Spanish Maine, but had afterwards been surprised and taken by a detachment of MoniLLo's forces. The _prisoners were ftist sent to CaracCas, but instead of putting them to •death, as has been the usual mode of warfare, Mortar.° compelled them to join his army, and they are now serving under his orders. BRIGHTON, MARCH 2. The completely re-established health 'of our be loved MoNAticit is an universal theme of exultation and joy. The reports from the Palace to-day were ttuly in.piriting ; not the slightest symptom of re turning illness is perceptible. Sir W. KNIGHTON left the Palace to return to London this evening. General Sir W. KEPPEL joined the Royal Suite this afternoon. THE ARMY. The 7th Veteran Battalion, under the command of Major FORSYTH, now at Chatham, are under orders for Guernsey and Jersey. Saturday, a detachment of the 13th Dragoons, and detachments of the 30th, 34th, 49th, 69th, acid 89th Infantry, marched from Chatham, to embark at Gravesend, on board the Prince Regent, for Madras., Also a small detachment of the Gsth Regiment, on board tbe Dunira, for Bombay. liewards of 350 men of the Hon. East India Company s Artillery and In fantry, have also marched from Chatham Garrison, to Gravesend, to embark for Madras. Tuesday, two troops of the 7th Ilussirs arrived at Glasgow fromllamilton.—Same day, the Yeomanry Cavalry, to the East Ward of Glasgow, forming a part of the Airdrie Troop, were ordered to Airdrie at two o'clock in the morning. The Glasgow Yeomanry Cavalry are on duty in that city. Billets are also taken for the Dumbarton Yeomen, who arrived there on Wednesday. REMOVALS IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE ELECTIONS.

The Duke of BEDFORD, on his return from Wo burn Abbey, will remove 'from his house in Hamil ton-place, to Lord ANSON'S noble mansion in St. James's-square. His Excellency the Persian Ambassador, accom panied by Mr. MoRIER, his Nahmandar, waited on Lord CASTLEREAGH on Thursday evening last, when his Excellency in, part settled his affairs previous to his leaving England for Persia, which his Excellency has proposed should take ?lace about the middle of this month. His Excellency, during his stay in this country, has become so much attached to the cus toms and manners of the English, that it is with re gret his numerous friends will part with him. The Earl of HARRINGTON had a select patty to dinner, yesterday, at his house in the Stable-yard, St. James's. Yesterday, Lord and Lady CASTLF.REAGH left their house in St. James's-square, for North Cray, their seat in Kent.

SHEF.RNESS f Maims' 2.—A most violent gale arose this morn ing from tire IC,W. which quickly increased into a storm. The vessels in the harbour and at the,Nore, rode in the rar• clan/ — serous manner. We regret to add, that two lighters fiefongiiii to the dock-yard, sunk at their anchors; a than, woman, ;A two children, perished with them.—A brig also sttnit at thi Nore, two of the crew saved.—At four P. u. a Humber keel; • laden with corn, was drilien on shore near:M.lton, but the crew and cargo are safe. ;Usages ( 3.—The gale still continues violent, and the eto3st it strewtd with the vestiges of wrecks. The 13elivrophon hulk has broke her moorings, but without any other iujury.— The Convict hospital-ship, and the Retribution, havf also sustairreti - damage.—During the night, one of the coffer-darns, in the new works, give way, enabling the tide to find a passage under the great wall. The docks, the great basin, the temporary walls, and all the various works, are new under water. The whole of this stupendous national undertaking presents a scene of desolation and destruction 'beyond the power of lang-apge to describe. The valuable cassoon, built as a gate to the great basin, has been cut through, to permit the egress and ingress of the tide. ANOTMES Lrrrn, same DATE.—A great deal of damage Ins been done to the shipping near this place, some having been lost, others lost their anchors and cables, &c. Among them are the following : the Janes, of Woodbridge, was driven on shore, bottom upwards—crew supposed to have perished : Julia, Rico, of Aberdeen; Lark, Wsza.s, of Peterhead; and Tao machus,'Pasrr, for London, have lost anchors and cables.— Three vessels are lost, and it is feared the crews have perished. !llamaAre, MAscu s.—The tremendous gaff of yestertLy and last night has caused much damage to the shipping on this Coast—a great deal more, it is feared, than is known to the writer of this article. The wind got up most violently about five o'clock in the morning from the N. W. and speedily in creased to a complete hurricane, which lasted, at intervals, the day throughout and a great part of last night. Several vessels were observed yesterday morning to be upon the Goodwin Sand, where, in the course of the day, they went to-pieces, and totally disappeared, with their ill-fated crews, to whom it was impos sible to :Nord the least succour, though several large laoats from this place, well manned, went off, at the imminent risk of their 1 lives, to preserve them, but Ott ing to the wonderful sea which broke upon the Sand, there was no getting near the vessels. Taw greatest praise is due to the Ramsgate boatmen fur their extra ordinary exertions on this occasion, as no set of men could do inure than they did, vlthough unsuccessful in their endeavours) to rescue from a watery grave so many of their follow-creatures. It is feared the shipping in the Downs have likewise suffered con siderably. A large ship, said to be a Dutch East Indianian, is _ _ observed to be at anchor there, with her mainmast gone.—This morning, about nine o'clock, a long-boat was towed into oLr harbour belonging to the snow Flora, of North Shields, which vessel unfortunately got upon the sunk sand of the Goodwin, yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, where she was soon swallowed up. Captain ROBERT STOREY and his crew, consisting of ten men, were in the boat, which was kept allou by constant baling the whole night : four of the crew were found dead from such inclement exposure at sea throughota the night; the rest, with the exception of the Captain (who has weathered the disaster wonderfully well) were nearly exhausted. We feel it due to Mr. SHARP Ilirratutsox and his Son, ship-owners here, to speak in the highest terms of the humanity displayed by them towards these unfortunate men, having provided them with good quarters and every comfort and relief their situation re quires. Captain STOREY has been received into Mr. litiscuiN sines house, where there can be no doubt, from the known feel ing of this worthy man on such occasions, but he will elperience the most humane attention. Two Gentlemen from Mr. Ant- TIN'S Agency Office, likewise attended to offer assistance en the boat's coming in, but we did not observe any of these attentions from Lloyd's Agents at this port. ANOTHER Lmen; SAME neas.—The vessel mentioned yester day as being on the Goodwin Sand, has totally disappeared, and nothing has been heard of the crew. The Flora, Syeaxr, front Shields for London, was lost yesterday on the Sunk Sand : the crew have arrived here, except the Mate and three men, who perished during the night from the severity of the weather.— Captain Slower reports, that nearly twenty vessels were lost at the same time, on the Sunk Sand. MARO•TI, Maim 2.—This morning was ushered in with a most tremendous storm ; the wind at the first of the morning was at East, and about a quarter past six o'clock it suddenly veered round to North-west, with a violent storm of hail, which has continued, without intermission, till the present time: the houses on the Parade are, generally, more or less unroofed, and such is the violence of the gale, that even large coping stones h a ve been displaced, and carried to some distance. The Vigi lant sloop, of London, broke from her moorings, in the Pier, and drove athwart the Parade-well, to which she did consider able damage ; the old packets, about high water, broke from their moorings, and for some time the Harbour was in the ut most scene of confusion. We know of little injury done to the shipping ; but we have terrible reports. from?loft, froMWhit stble, and the parts adjoining. Theri are three brigi making ter the Tier „while lam writing, and a Government cutter has just passed. One of the brigs has just reached the )labour in safety. The a second brig has not been so fortunate as the ter mer, having struck just by the Harbour ; should the wind not abate, it is probable she will go to pieces next tide.—A cottage Is blown down at Garlinge t and part of the barn at Hartadown. . Dear, Manes s.—Wind N.N. W.—The brig mentioned yes terday to be on the Goodwin Sand, still remains with her sails flying about, and nearly half her masts out of the water. The Friendship, WRIT', from Sunderland for Hastings, and Eco nomy, STONEY, from Newcastle for London, were totally lost this meriting, on the Goodwin Sand—crews saved. Captain WHITE reports he saw two or three other vessels on the Good win Sand, and it is feared their crews have perished. The Phoe nix, limewarr, for the South Seas, and the Norfolk, from the South Seas, have lost anchors and cables, and have been supplied with others. Several vessels have lost their anchors, and pro. ceeded down Channel, some without an anchor to their bows.— One of the vessels, in stays is a plain - ship, without a head, and yellow sides. The Dunira East Indiaman has lost an anchor.— The rest of the outward-bound remain all well. Lzvearom., Maim! 2.—Arrived the Theodosia, Niamey, from Calcutta and Gibraltar. The Diadem, liaamsow, from Virginia, is .on shore in Bootle bay. A heavy gale spfungiip f rom t h e N. N.F.. this morning, at two o'clock, and it is feared much damage is•doae on the 'Welch Coast. • ••• • -. p of 13 g , 1 v g.l 1 , 1 , „
