" The above is the substanee of the intelligence com municated by Captain Haynie, of the idinsava. It certainly is not to be considered as official, but it appears to be highly probable. Ths position at St. Vineente de la Barquera, is an extremely strong one, and the French army must Wave been very much weakened by the numerous and sanguinary conflicts in which it has been engaged." " The following is the substance of the intelligence received by the Boma CITOTERWE " This vessel spoke the MiNzavA, which had been cruising off St. Andero. By her she was informed, that on the 19th the French were at Barques% and the Spaniards retreated after a sharp contest. On the 24th, a fresh battle is said to have taken place, and the accounts were, that at the close of it, the Marquis de ROWARNA was driving the French before him.—On the 22d ult. Sir DAVID BAIRD was at As torga.—lt was not believed that the French were at Valladolid in great force.—No news had been re ceived on the 26th, at Coruna, from Madrid." All that we can infer from the above accounts, amounts only to what we have stated in former papers—The Spaniards contest every inch of ground ; and, though forced to retreat by superior numbers, still maintain the contest with a zeal and ardour which would do honour to any army ; and which, if persevered in with equal obstinacy for a short time; will furnish an opportunity for their receiving rein forcements. BLAZZ'S army has done wonders, and if every inch of Spanish territory is to be contested with an equal ardour, the country will never be conquered, what ever partial or temporary advantages may be gained by the enemy. That an equal zeal prevails in the other armies our Readers will see by the accounts given in the pre ceding columns, from the army of the centre. Ac cording to these accounts the passage of the Ebro has been forced at three points, and the strong French position of Caparroso, with the heights around it, taken. The final result of this !;-eneral action is not yet known. The postscript of our last letter from Madrid informs us, that the fighting continued on the 13th, when a Courier, who brought the intelligence, the substance of which we have stated, left the army. Among our extracts from the Spanish papers, we have given an abstract of a long and very able Ad dress to the Spanish'people by the Supreme Junta. Men, who, understand and estimate so rightly the principles of a free Government, deserve to be free. FOREIGN JOURNALS. This morning we received Hamburgh and Altona papers to a late date, but their contents are so trifling that it would not repay our Readers for the trouble of perusing them. We have given a few extracts, and only a few, in another column. MALTA AND GIBRALTAR. By the Mattrrarx, arrived at Plymouth, we have received a few articles of intelligence from Malta and Gibraltar. The arrival of this vessel gave rise to a report that Mr. ADAIR had concluded a Treaty of Peace with the Porte ; thi, Austria had opened her ports to our vessels ; and that these two Powers were on the eve of declaring war against France.—Go, vernment have not received any such accounts. These rumours are therefore entitled to little credit—they rest entirely on private letters, which we have given among the subjoined. the a Leiters from Malta, received by the MESSENGER; mention, in a summary way, the capture of the Island of Capri by the french. The force of the British , Garrison is stattd to have consisted of 750 men, of the Corsican Rangers, under Colonel Lows, and WO of the Maltese corps;-. A ieinforcement of 250 men, under Colonel Booms, which l v anded after the Ar mistice was concluded for arranging the eiacuation, and, of course, too late to take any active part, Tv turned to Sicily with the troops of the garrison.

A question arose .to ! clay in a case in which the 'Commissioners for the Patish of St. Pancras, sued ' upon a surety bond of their Collector, named Wat kins, to iuderhnify them against any default by Wer kips, in case he should be duly appointed a Collector of the Property Tax. Watkins was appointed, and r•iiitz defaulter to the amount of 5001 .. and upwards. t, • . bum, for the Defendants, objected that he,, Watkins, was not duly appointed. • The statute, 43 Geo. 111. under the Income I 'Tax was collected, was passed under a tnistake. , — . That act gave authority to persons to collect the tax , 3 whc; shouid'be appointed under an Act to be pissed 3 afterwards. As it happened the two Acts Were passed . in tht same session; but the Act referred to, as being ' about tope passed, got the start of the former Act - when in the'House of Lords ; and by this riehns there was no such-Act passed subsequently as was referred to in the Income Tax Act. The appointment of the Collectors was therefore void all over the kingdom ; and for thii Mr. PARK cited a case of Wilson v. Larkin. • . . Lord ELLENBOROUCH reserved the point, which is very material, for upon that question the legality of all distresses for non-payment of 'Taxes . ; under that . Act. must depend. WILLEY W. ALLEN.

The Plaintiff's servant waited upon.the Defendans,l with the bill, amounting to aB4 115. 4d. as he stated. The Defendint looked at the bill and said it,,was right, and should be. paid if it had not been paid. The cause turned entirely upon the question, whe. ther the tender was sufficient before the action? and this depended upon the amount of the preceding bill, which the Plaintiff had not given the Defendant no. tice to produce. Of course it could not be proved what was the amount of that bill. And upon this ground the Plaintiff was nonsuiresL COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DECEISER 1. MEHARY V. VIIRLANDES.

Baron DE ROLLE has gone to Portsmouth to em body the 900 Swiss troops who lately deserted to us from the French service. Two detachments of the Royal Artillery Drivers, which have been for some time under orders at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, marched on Tuesday and Wednesday, in two divisions to embark at Ports mouth. • Captain BotLaao, of the Nottingham Militia, quartered in Lewes Barracks, is appointed Judge Ad vocate for the Sussex District.
