The Spanish tr oops are con centrath% at Orense. where several corps have joined. Sir Robert Wilson arrived here from Vigo on the sth: One thousand stand of arms, and 53 barrels of powder, have arrived frera England. _ . Our paivateers continue to be successful. Oa the 4th a fine ship was sent in, called the Courier de Bourbon ; it had pn beard Baron Dabassayne de Richemout, formerly Inspector-General of the French possessions in India. VIGO, JULY 13. Today the Militia will be proclaimed under mar. 641 law, and the inhabitaati ordered to lay in provi• sions for a month. Those who cannot comply with the order will be compelled to leave the town. By the arrival of the Tartar, Spanish cutter, at Falmouth, we have accounts from Coronae .of the 20th inst. at which time the Constitutional flag still waved over the battlements: she brings intelligence, that Ferrol bad been entered by the French without opposition; and that they had lost 500 men before Coruna, on the 16th inst. (which place they had been bombarding) by a sortie from the garrison, under Sir Robert Wilson; who was slightly wounded in the wrist, and had a favourite horse killed under him. The inhabitants were determined to join the troops in defending the place; and, it was supposed, when the Tartar left Corunna, it would be enabled to hold out a long time, as it was well provisioned, etc.— This vessel, formerly British, had taken four prizes. A private letter has also been brought by the Tar tar, dated the night of the 19th, which contains the fol lowing interesting details: • CORUNNA, JULY is. " We have had a very severe contest here betv.een" our garrison and inhabitants, and a corps of the Ft ench army, which advanced against this place on the I,sth i and 16th ; after having driven its the forces, we had I marched out to oppose their progreSs. On their ap proaching the works they were received with a tre mendoussannonack which did them much injury ; and before they could recover themselves, the gar rison made a desperate sally, and some severe fighting ensued, which cost the French upwards of 600 men. The cannonade was kept up during the whole of the 16th with great spirit, and during the 17th the French made several attacks, which were repulsed by the garrison with great slaughter. In leading the sally on the 16th Sir Robert Wilson had his horse shot tinder him, and before he could be remounted received A wound, which, however, is not of a serious nature. " On the 18th the French commenced a very furi ous bombardment, which, however, was not attended with much success, while the fire of the garrison, being well directed, killed and wounded a number of the enemy. Since that period the French have withdrawn farther from the reach of the cannon, and have beenemployed in conveying away their wounded. The inhabitants joined most enthusiastically in de fence of the place, undertaking the management of the artillery during the sortie, and attending the wounded with the greatest care. At the time of writing this, the fire on the part of the French has ceased ; but we are informed that they are in the im mediate vicinity recruiting their forces, after the fa tigue of the last three days. To the foreigners in this place the safety of the town may be ascribed, as the system of discipline established and the plan acted upon, was solely their work. We understand that this place is victualled for two months, and among the garrison very little apprehension is entertained that the French will succeed in capturing it." It appears, from the reports of the passengers who have arrived by the different vessels, that the garri- tun sylien attacked consisted of about 1800 men, the veatest part of them Guipuscoan and N.ivarrese vo lunteers, the regulars not amounting to more than 400. The other disposable force was on the side of Vigo and Orense. The French attacked with 5000 men, the whole corps d'armee they have in Galicia, .and certainly nothing could be more cool and dete:p mined than the defence of the garrison. Colonel Sorva, Commander of the Guiposcoa Militia, was killed, to ,gethgr with several other Officers of minor rank. *The Ftench are stated to have had 700 men disabled. The Spaniards, afar defending the heights in front AF the town, withdrew within the walls on the 16th, and in the evening of that day a Council of War was held, which was attended by all the principal Officers. Colon e l Sevane, the same who distinguished himself in read id during the revolt of the Guards, wh9ril on that occasion he charged, when he had his horse killed under him by their bayonets, was the first who spoke. —He told his hearers that national honour, as well as the most sacred of causes, required that the garri son of Corunna should bury themselves under the ruins . of the town confided to their care. 6 , Let us set an example to our countrymen," added he, gi by first defending the city; and if overpowered, by with drawing to the castle, and there resisting to the last moment." The brave Mendez Vigo, the Governor of the town, and whose wife came passenger in one of the vessels, seconded the motion, which was again sonar ted by Colonel Novella. The resolution of the Council was unanimous. It was determined that they should defend Corunna as long as 'they had powder and ball to oppose their adversaries. Sir R. Wilson's wound was slight, and it was thought that he would immediately proceed to Vigo, in order to make ar rangements to move on the rear of the French, as a considerable force was collecting in the neighbour hood.of Orense, consisting of the regiments of Burgos, Constitution, Spain, Grenada, Arragon, and Ferrol. Col. Light's wound is reported not to be dangerous. Yesterday forenoon, Mr. HILL, one of his MA. JESTY'S Messengers, arrived with dispatches to Go vernment from Sir WILLIAM A'Couui, at Seville. The dispatches ate of a later date, t y five days, than those received by the Messenger Vico on Thursday.

Captain Jzintrus bad served with great credit in the 12th Regiment, for upwards of 15 years. He had also been employed* India, and at the Mauritius, in various situations on the Staff, and was always peculiarly fortunate in enjoying the entire confidence and esteem of his superiors, by a punctual and ablad ischarge of his several duties ; while, by his amiable.quali ties, he never failed to secure, in an unusualtegree, the warmest regards of his brother Officers, and of every individual who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His memory will lung be cherished, and hisioss deeply lamented, in his corps, where his charming social qualities as a companion, and his character as a sincere and steadfast friend, were intintatay known, and justly appreciated. We regret to add, that a wife, with four young children, will have to deplore the irreparable loss they sustain by this premature and melancholy occurrence. • Lord Met.viitz arrived at Portsmouth on Satur day afternoon, from the Admiralty, and proceeded to Ryde, where his Lordship's family have some time taken up their residence. . ~ EXECUTION. The execution of PhYip Sictel and Charles Kcp pell, for the murder of Mrs. Richards, at Clapham, took place this morning, at twenty minutes past nine, on the top,of the New Jail, fiorsemonger-lane, in the presence of as great a number of spectators as ever witnessed a similar awful scene. Every avenue leading to the jail, as well as the fields adjoining, as crowded. The house tops, at the distance of Suffolk -street, were covered with spectators, and several temporary erec tions were put up on the occasion. The road to the Elephant an d Castle was bl oc k e d up b y cart iages of every description, two of which were overturned, but, fortunately, no person was hart. Some scaf folding gave way in Suffolk -street, and although a number of persons came down with it, one man only was seriously hurt. At five minutes past nine, the Sheriffs' Officers came on the platform, and shortly afterwards were fol lowed by Stoffel (the nephew of the poor murdc:ed woman), who seemed absorbed in deep sorrow; on getting on the platform he fell down on his knee Keppell did not seem to have muck fortitude; and, while the executioner was adjusting the fatal rope, he was much agitated. Both joined very fer vent l y i n prayer with the R ev . Mr. MANN, for a considerable time. At the conclusion they shook hands with all on the scaffold; and, on a signal being given, they were launched into eternity. Saturday, as the Birmingham and Leamington Coach was proceeding to town, a few miles from Leamington, the linch pin of one of the wheels being forced out, the carriage was overturned ; when, sad to relate, the Rev. Mr. ATTERBUAY and the coach man were killed ; several of the passengers were also • seriously bruised. The doubts and fears entertained by same, with re spect to the harvest, from the late rains, at e perfectly groundless, so far as relates to the county of Surrey, at least; the crops never looked bitter, and there is every prospect of a prolific harvest ; even the poorest lands, from which little or nothing was expected, have yielded an increase far beyond thc.expectations of the sowers.

All present congratulated the Prince on the important improvement, while the Ladies were equally desirous of knowing the Artist, that they might likewise apply for a similar attainment of artifiF.ial excellence so greatly re.. sembling the perfection of natures.
