He states, that he was carried into Passage. a town in Spain, near St. Sebastian, from whence he was marched, with other prisoners, to Bay onne. He left the latter place on the 18th of Janu ary, for the purpose of being conducted to a prison in the interior of France ; and was to pass through Bourdeaux. On his arrival at the latter place, he heard that a neutral vessel was on the point of sail ing for England, an d shortly afterwards found means to escape on board her, and sailed from thence the 6th instant. During his route to Bourdeaux, he met several thousand French troops marching into Spain; the army in which country was, according to report, to be completed to 400,000 men. NAPOLEON'S Guards, consisting of 2500 men, had arrived at Bourdeaux, at which place he was expected by the 18th or 19th of this month, to follow them cn their way into Spain. The night before last the BRITOMART gun-brig, Cap tain HUNT, arrived at Yarmouth from the coast of Holland, and brought with her forty-eight English men, who have been in various prisons for upwards of six years in France and Holland. They state, that the French Emperor had marched an army into Hol land, consisting of 35,000 men, and had taken pos session of all their strong garrisons, hoisted the French fag, and marched the Dutch troops into the interior. The) also state, that all American ships in the Dutch ports had been seized and confiscated, and that ac counts had been received from France of War having been declared against America.—There may he some mistake in the latter statinent, arising out of the fears that could not fail to be excited by- the Order, to which we have alluded in former papers, for all Ame rican vessels to quit the Dutch Ports. It is possible, however, that the Order referred to was only the pre cursor of more decided hostility. We are concerned to learn that Jamaica is not the only spot in the western hemisphere where Discord seems to have reared her throne. By letters from Bermuda we are informed that a serious dispute had arisen between the Speaker of the House of Assembly and the Commander in Chief of the troops. Of the particulars we are not yet accurately informed ; but the latter is reported to have imprisoned the former. He was soon after liberated, and a subscription was entered into by the pl-incipal inhabitants, to enable him to come to England to obtain redress. We un derstand that the Speaker has arrived in this country, and has brought with him a strong Memorial from the Assembly, protesting against this violent exercise of Military power. The dispute is ,said to have origi nated in the Assembly requiring a Bond of Indemnity from the person holding the office of Treasurer, for a higher amount than had hitherto been customary. CORUNNA, FEBRUARY 8. The Junta of this kingdom has received the follow. ing by an extraordinary Laurier " The Superior Junta of this place, being this morning assembled, as usual, and making the neces sary arrangements to oppose the enemy, who are within a short distance of the city, the people appeared in arms in the Alcazor, and proposed, through five deputies, -named for that purpose, various means for the defence of the country from its present imminent danger ;—the principal of which was, that %he Junta should resume the title of Supreme, with all func tions annexed to it; in consideration of which, as well as the flight of the Central Junta, we have acceded to the proposition and resumed our supreme authority by issuing such energetic orders as our present miser able situation requires. " In this state of things; believir.g that the part we I take in defence of the country, interests every part of the kingdom, and being convinced that, in such try ing circumstances, the nomination of a Regency is necessary to conduct the Government and direct its I efforts with unity and effect against the enemy, we I have resolved to communicate these sentiments to your Excellency, and to request that you would send one ) 1 of your Members with full powers to Seville, or confer on those who are here in authority to deliberate with this Junta, and decide on such measures as shall, on mature deliberation, be found necessary for remedying the evils under which the nation suffers. Dated from the Royal Alcazor of Seville, '24th of January, 1810. Signed by FRANCISCO de SAAVERRA, and JOSEPH Mo- RIA GARCIA CORRILLO, Secretary — addressed to the President and Members of the Superior Junta of Gal- The more that transpires of the state of affairs in Spain, the more are we confirmed in the opinions we have often stated of the imbecility of the men who obtained possession of the Supreme Power. We heartily, wish that imbecility were the only charge that could be brought against them, but their whole conduct has beer. such as to excite, in the minds of the people, a ill rn persuasion that many of them-have acted the part of I: al.ors. The people of the South of Spain had been repeatedly assured by their late Government, that all the passes of the Sierra Mo rena had been secured ; and that they had there fore, nothing to apprehend from the enemy.— The discover? that ether openings had been left to the enemy, and that the passes which they asserted to have secured were guarded in a very insufficient man ger, first roused the popular resentment against the Junta ; the Members of which, perceiving the storm that was just ready to burst upon them, fled precipitately from Seville, on the 23d ult. and on that day an insurrection took place there. Amongst those who -took their flight towards Cadiz, labourr ing under the suspicion of treason, we are surprised to find the name of JOVELL A Nos : he was stopped, along with another Member of the same body, at Xeres, and both were thrown into prison. The French appeared at the gates of Seville on the evening of the 29th, and on that day and the 30th they entered the town without resistance. The advance of the enemy, whose object it evidently was to surprize Cadiz, is however said to have been somewhat retarded, by the sudden appearance of General ALBUQUERQUE, who, having some suspicion of the treachery of the Junta, had proceeded by rapid marches into Andalusia. But this event, even should it have occurred, is not deem ed of importance sufficient to counterbalance the past the enemy; or to restrain him ,from ob ill advantages. licia." This Junta, steady in its principles of remaining in union with the rest of the kingdom, and desirous of manifesting the rectitude and justice of its principles, has answered-- The Superior Junta of Gallicia, which has sworn never to separate from the body of the nation, takes the most lively interest in maintaining its union, and and will therefore send one of its Members to the Junta of Seville, with full powers and instructions, regu lated by the critical circumstances described in the I:tter of your Excellency of the 2;th of January, which we have just received, to express the sentiments of this Junta, in conformity to our Constitution and Laws, with reference to the present situation of things, and to the opinion of the other Superior Juntas of the Kingdom.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Last night, after the representation of the Free Knight:, a new Farce was produced, entitled, A Budget of Blunders.—The name is well calculated to excite the expectations of the laughter-loving frequenters of the Theatre, and on the present occasion they were not disappointed. The scene is laid in a country village, and the principal characters are Dr. Smockface, a young graduate of physic ; Dr. Diable-en-caur, the keeper of a receptacle for lunatics.; Old Mr. Growler, Sophy, his ward, and 1 Captain Belgrave, an officer of a marching regiment. The plot, as may be supposed, consists in the strata gems of Be/grave, assisted by an able female Aide tle-Camp, in the person of Sophy's maid, to outwit Old Growler, and carry off the ward.—The Budget cf Blunder: is opened with the first appearance of. Dr. Smockface in Growler's apartments, where Belgrave had previously mounted guard; but, who to avoid di.covery, hastily puts on a night-gown and night cap of Old Growler's. The young graduate of course mistakes his rival for the Guardian of Sophy, and Be/grave affects to be in a fit of apoplexy : Smockface runs out to fetch a surgeon to bleed him. During his absence Be/grave escapes Old Growler enters theapart ment to take his afternoon's nap. Smockface returns, bringing with him Dr. Diable-en-caur, with a case of instruments, and both proceed, by main force, to per form the operation of phlebotomy on the astonished Growler. A partial eclairgissement then takes place, but all is once more confusion in consequence of the French man concluding that Smockface is an insane Gentle man, who was sent to his receptacle by his friends, but whe had escaped from his keepers on the road. New blunders of course ensue, and the risible mus e Iles of the audience are set in motion by the strata. gems of the French Doctor to get the supposed lunatic into his power. This is soon effected, and the parties, go on blundering until the denouement, which consists in an elopement by Belgrave and Sop/y. Some taint idea of what is to be expected from the " Budget of Blunders," may be gathered from the above sketch. The author has kept his title con stantly in view throughout the piece, and although there is occasionally something of the extravaganza, it cannot fail to prove a popular performance. Some slight disapprobation was expressed towards the con clusion, but on the whole the author's triumph was , complete. Further particulars of the dreadful accident which happened at Liverpool on Sunday mot ning last :- 4 , Not more perhaps than from 15 to 20 grown persons were in the church at the time, and of these the greater part escaped ; but the children of the Moorfields Charity School, who are regularly marched in procession from the school to the church, some what earlier than the time of service, had partly entered. The boys, following last, all escaped ; but of the girls, who were either entering the porch or proceeding up the aisle, we lament to state that a great number were instantly overwhelmed, beneath the falling pile. The whole number of bodies taken out from the ruins is 27. Of these 22 were either dead or died almost immediately atter their removal ; five were taken to the infirmary, and one of these is since dead. The scene was, throughout the whole of the forenoon, deeply affecting. The parents of the children in the school, and a num ber of others, hurrying from place to place, inquir ing the fate of their children or relatives, in• the utmost agitation, heightened in many cases by a long and awful suspense, and terminating in the extremes of joy or sorrow, as they found the objects of thek search in safety or among the sufferers.
