" Accounts have been received, that at Darrica,. in Arragon, 2500 French have been obli ge d to surrender. Ballastems is again under the guns of Gibraltar. On Tuesday arrived here, the Marquis Valencia, the Marquis Ponte Lima, and Senor Vas Mucillas, Portuguese Noblemen, who escaped from the French. When the French left Lisbon, they went with them. A short time since, they applied by let ter to Lord Wei.cowroN, to know whether he would protect them, which he promised, and wrote to the Regency, luying what he had done. Bing tired of being traitors-to their country, they escaped by way of Madrid, and 'arrived safe here. The uncle of M. Ponte Lima was formerly Portugdese Ambassador to London ; another was with Lord Nelson in the Me diterranean. The brother of Mucillas was in favour with Lord WELLINGTON, when within thelines. They state the French army as much dissatisfied, and that fear only of the Guerillas prevents their very nume rous desertion. They are obliged to send always very strong escorts in search of provisions ; and from the difficulty of obtaining them, never bring in more than for 15 days. Every day prisoners or deserters from the French army arrive here. It must very much lessen their force in the Peninsula. Unless they are much reinforced, I think we shall be able to do some thing with them in the spring campaign. • Extract of a Letter from an Assistant-Surgeon in the Expedition against Jaiay to his brothers iu Mon trose, dated 29th August, 1811 : k have only time by this opportunity to say, we arrived h e re about three weeks ago, since which we have got posseuion of, Batavia (a most iplendid and most magnificent city), without the least opposition. We, however, have had several most se vere engagements With the Enemy, all of which have termi nated decidedly in our favour; and yesterday our troops were gallantly led on by Colonel Gillespie against Fort Cornelis, which we tarried by storm, though - nut without the - loss of la great nimber of men and officers—ours, however, was comparatively small to that of the enany's. We have killed, wounded and taken prisoners, almost aa their principal officers ; and what of their troops we have not killed we have taken prim r.ers. Our loss in officers and men is computed at about 700 killed and wounded in the battle of yesterday, and that of the cm my's at about NAM killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. The gallan try of our troops was not to be equalled, and that of de enemy's much to be wondered at. I assure you, l stood and looked or fur a long time with great anxiety, and had, with others, my own doubts, which would gain the day, when all at once our brave heroes charged their batteries, and put to clt.-.th every man of them with the point of the bayonet, that occupied the trenches, though at the time they were exposed to a heavy and destructive fire of musketry and cannon from the immense piles of batttries; all of which fell into our hands. Our loss on this occasion was greatly increased by the explosion of one or two of the enemy's magazines, which carried whole columns of our officers and min in the air. This victory, though so very decided, is not like to put a period to our campaign. General Jansen has refused all terms, and is likely to give us a little more sport. It .essaid, he has yet goka great force at a d.stance from this. occupying a viry srrdog post at which he means to make a stand—again to get a drubbing, no doubt." Tuesday SOO of the Inverness Militia marched into Fort Cumberland, to relieve a part of the East Mid dlesex. :-~, THE s7bLE.v cxlt.j: - .

She immediately thought it Was Thomas Dellbw, who bad been so Istg missing ; the more so, as she had reas , •n to b.iieve that tb; pretended mediet had never borne a Child. She 'lhnsmunicated tit sypicions to th e nearest Am V `fate, I) sent or Mrs. Magnes, he pretended mo ,ent. The mritnent she was interrogated on the sub. t *lke confessed the whole affair, and her motive-for the robbery. Magnes, her husband, who was a gunner on board ale of his Majesty's ships, and had sated a conside iable sum of money fcr a man in his station of life, Was estemely partial to, children, and bad often ex. Press• d Lis motrinzious wish to hate a /lute .1 •riusb as he used to kiln it: His wife, not less antions to gratify him in this res pe a k: , wrote to him win at sea that She was in the family-way. The gunner, highly, delighted' fiat behad obtained his desired ohject, sent home the earl'iingi of many a cruise, amonoting to £3OO, wth a particular charge • that the irlabt should be rigged, and want ler nothing :if a boy, so much the better. The next letter from It's hopeful wife, annosmeed the happy tidings, that Wirt bore was a son ; and that she would name Bain Richard, after his father; The husband expressed his joy at the news, and • counted the tedious hbnrs ufitil he should be permit= ted to come bon* to t.is wife and could. At home he at length wriv. d, hut at :as unfOrto. nate time, when the deer Richard w..t out at nurse, at a considerable cis - twee ; change of air bt ing nece%sary to the easy cidant of hi: teeth. hl.gnes's time bring short, he left his home with a heavy heart, withont being able to sre his offspring; but he was assured that on his next trip to Gosport he should have the felicity he had so often pined for, of clasping his dar ling to his bosom. It was not until November last that he was at liberty to revisit home, when he had again the mortification to find that his son, whom he expected to see a fine boy of three years old, had not yet cut hit teeth, or that he was from home on some other pretence. Magnes, hivever, was not to be pacified thus : he would go and see his tie, or his son should come to him. Mrs: Ma e nes, finding him de termined, thought the latter much the best way; and accordingly set off to fetth the buy. The Metropolis 'occurred to her as the inarket best calculated to af ford ber a choice of children. She first tried the West end of the Town, but saw nothing therq to cor respond with her husband's views of a Jae boy; the children appealing to her tale, wan, and emaciated:— She then turned her attention to the East ; and pass ing down St. Martin's lane, the was struck witn the rung Gale Citizen, Tommy Dellow, and at once deter mined to mike him her pi ize. He was playing with his sister at the green-grocer's shop-door, into which Mrs. Wgnts went, with the double view of purchas ing some apples, and carrying off the boy. Luckily as she had made her purchase, an Inch Gentlewoman came into the shop to buy potatoes, and so hd..ercd the tisidress that she forgot the children wider her charge. Meanwhile, Mrs. Magnes lost no Sine. She made muck of the sister, caressed tie boy, and _gave him an apple. The children being pleased with her attention, shiasked the little girl to chew her to a pastry.cook's shop to buy some cakes, whither she took both the girl and the boy. She got clear off with the latter, and left the girl behind. The same_ Light she left town for Gosport with the boy, having rigged him out according to the taste of her husband, with a new dress, and a black hat and feather. Mrr. Mlgnes, in order ilat she might speak to the name of her boy with a safer conscience, stopped at Kings ton, and had him christmed " Richard Magnes," by which name he was introduced to his fond father on the following eveninritGosport. Magnet, supposing all his wi'hes 'realized, was made truly happy. It is no exaggeration to say, that poor Magnes felt a parental affection for the boy; and that when the imposition was discovered before the Magistrate, he was grieved to the heart at being obliged to part with him under all the circumstances of the transac. tion. The Magistrate at Gosport immediately ac quainted Mr. and Mrs. Dellow with the discovery ; and stated to them, th it their child was safe, and ready to be delivered to its parents. On Monday the rather set off for Gosport, and the next day received his loci cl ild. If be could feel any diminution of his joy, it was on account of Mag. nes, who parted with little Dellow with a sorrowful heart, and excited the commiseration of all who wit. nessed the scene. As for Mts. Magnes, she was lodged in the House of Correction, at Gospo rt . M r . w and his boy arrived in town yesterday. . ----................ q Wft.LIANS, iire MURDtklift.-•-it is almost evident that, from tie t;me of Williams's a; prehension, he Contemplated kis ,tern destrut.i.on. His final deem. nsination, howeter, could not have been fixed until , the identity , ,of the man; had been clearly made out. There was found in his pocket, in the House ut.Cor metiers, eftix his death, a piece of iron hoop, rat& cieatly sharp to have enabled him to wouipd hinaself 1 mortally,had all other means of self destruction been removed from him. For a consider ible time it re mained matter of surprise how this picce of hoop came into his possession as he had it not wi t h hi m when taken into custod y, nor could Any ding be found upon him when he was put into the Loek•up. house; but the Officers at length discovered that part of the iron fastenings, which secure the walls of the strong room for cm temporary confinement of prisoners, in the Lebeck's Head public-house, oppo• site to Shadwell ()Bice, was removed ; and upon comparing the piece io question with the fractured part of the fastening, they % were f..und to corms; ond; and it was from tinmce concluded that, during his late confinement, subsequent to his lest appear ance before the Magistrates, he broke it awny, and pre. served it for suicidal purposes.
