They are but a part of the fleet, as three vessels more, with the same number, are expected. The number in all, said to to expected, is 800 ; but I think they generally fall short ; but I dare to say from 630 to 00 will come. GOD help them ! it is a dreary sea son approaching for the houseless children of misery. To be sure their own climate, the Highlands of Scot land, or their comforts, have not been very consider- able, and the potatoes are coming in, though the crops are but indifferent. Any person, however, who can speak Gaelic will do well here ; and, as I have in former letters said, their children may become of use to the island. _ • The election of a Member for the House of As sembly for King's County, in the room of the 'late Peter Macgovan, Esq. the Attorney General, ended yesterday, when James Curtis, Esq. was elected by a great majority.

'Phis impost is to be in force from the Bth , tof October of the present year until further orders, and to be paid by the wag. goner or boat-master upon passing the frontier, when the said goods enter this country, or in use of their being unable to defray the same, they shall give due security for the payment of the impost by the receiver of the goods. 3. As it is not intended that any commodity upon which a similar duty shall have been already levied, on the continent, should again •be subject thereto in his Maje4ty's territories: in cases of this nature, such goods shall be exempt from the afore said impost, if accompanied by regular and lawful certificates of such impost having been levied at any Imperial French Custom house, or in any State where such impost is in force, and of the same not having been paid back upon exportation from such State. I 4. Upon the importation of any of the above-mentioned com modities into this country, the Collector of the Customs on the frontier shall affix thereto a particular ticket, on which shall be marked the amount of the impost paid, or for the payment of which security may have been given. This ticket is to be exa mined upon the inspection of the goods at the other Custom hJuses in succession, and upon their arrival at the place where they are to be unloaded for sale, care is to be taken t 6 ascertain whether the duty has been ccrrectly charged, and the same is to be levied, if not already defrayed on the frontier; and where it has been already levied in another country, the certifiates and do cuments relative thereto are to be examined, and if found cor rect, are to be certified accordingly. .5. The same regulation applies to commodities in transit for an ulterior destination, in case of their being unloaded at any pl.ica in the Interior, but the impost levied thereon shall be repaid by the Custom-house, or if security only has been given, the same shall be cancelled. R. Transit commodities on the other hand, which are not to be unloaded in the country, require only to be correctly declared at the place where they pass the frontier on entering; upon which, proper security being given and the other duties paid, they shall proceed, without being subject to this impost, to the place where they pas beyond the frontier. 7. - In case of the above-mentioned commodities being clandes tinely introduced, without payment of the impost, or being un loaded in any village by the way, and being there or elsewhere privately deposited, or in case of a particular article being intro• duced under another name—upon the detection of one or other of these frauds, such commodities shall be confiscated.

WALL (ON THE MEUSE), SEPT. 22. On the 19th of this month, between. the hours of five and sit in the evening, a luminous meteor ap - peared to the south, anti about the distance of a quar ter of a league fro m t h e sma ll com mune of' i3rezeau ; persons who attentively examined it assert that it was nearly a quarter of an hour in collecting, floating over the place where it was first seen, and that when all its parts had united, it appeared all at once as a very considerable globe of fire, taking a northerly direc-, tionTit spread terror amongst the inhabitants of the viltage, who believed their houses would be burnt, , and they themselves perish. This globe was accom panied by a frightful noise, which was heard at the distance of more than a league and a half, and some times resembled the rolling of a rapid chariot ; at others, the noise of rain driven by the wind. It was followed by a very thick fog, and carried up from the ground every thing it met in its passage. In crossing a river it absorbed water, which soon after wards fell in rain. It wandered for some time near the village. One thing certain is, that the roof of a house was thrown down, which is the only trace it has left. It was accompanied and followed by an abundant rain, much lightning, and loud claps of thunder. Continu ing in the same dircction, It suddenly turned into a column of fire, which, with the fog, rose towards the heavens. This made many persons believe the fog was smoke. It remained about a quarter of an hour in this state, a quarter of a league to the north of 'the village, and at a short distance from the forest of Beaulieu. This column now sunk a little, and at last it suddenly disappeared, leaving a thick fog which had no smell. This phenomenon lasted three quarters of an hour, and travelled over the space of half a leave, THE EVENING STAIt. LONDON. MONDAY, OCTOBER. 29.

NO diwtthes have yet been received from Lord Witz.wurrow, but as the wind, though now Northerly, has been fair, they will certainly soon arrive. • In the mean time accounts have been received from .Oporto which state a fact not mentioned in the last dispatches—that the French to the number of 3000 cavalry suddenly appeared, prior to the affair of Bu: saco, on the south bank of the Vouga. Colonel THAT with 5000 infantry and a squadron of horse, was at that time on the north shore of the same river. On the approach of the foe, all his efforts to induce the Portugu;se. Militia to maintain their ground were ineffectual. The French had important duties to perform to the south of the Vouga, and the baggage as wall as the troops fortunately reached Oporto ; nor was. any attempt made by the French to intercept them. - Letters have also been received from•the shores of the Bay of Biscay, to the date of the 6th instant, mentioning that the Patriots in Navarre, Arragon; and Old Castile, were still active, and succeeded in wasting the strength, exhausting the patience, and frustrating the designs of the invaders. But the most important success occurred oh the lOtii ult. when the treasure we mentioned to have arrived at Bayonne for the pay of the invading forces, was in progress to Madrid. Between Coza and Aureza the t scort had been increased by the caution• of the Governor of Gomara from 300 ivfantry and 150 cavalry,lo 600 men. The Patriotic force destined to the attack, was under the orders of Don ESPEZA MENA, and did not exceed 550 men. The attack on account of this inequality was made in the night, when the enemy, although surprised, made a vigorous resistance, but being at the sequel repulsed, 60 prisoners, 30 horses, arms, ammunition, &c. with 12 waggons, containing about 200,000 crowns, were borne off in triumph by the Spaniards. A letter from Madrid states, that JOSEPH had re turned to the Capital ; that the inhabitants were in misery ; that a contribution was levied of 200,000 rials per day, to supply the Court, the Treasury being without money ; and that the Cedulas, or new Royal paper, was at 92 per Cent. discount. The Bills of San Fernando, the former Government paper, were at 88 per Cent. discount. A letter received last week at Glasgow from Cadiz states, that d , in consequence of the enemy having attempted to annoy our ships at Cadiz by red hot shot, Admiral KEATS directed an attack on the fort of Catalaine on the 2d instant, with 1$ mortars and howitzers, and some gun-boats, which bombarded the fort for two hours it is supposed with considerable effect, as =several several good shells fell into the fort.

In every corner you may behol( groups of half-naked and half-famished men, women, and children—all of them indebted for their dail food to the British Commissariat ; and few of them knowing where to fly for shelter. Their deplorable condition is beyond description ; and, accustomed I have been to meet human misery in various shat the situation of the unhappy Portuguese peasant,. surpasses any scene of distress that has hitherto pained my eye, or drawn forth the involunttuy sigh of corn. passion." , The Townshend packet has arrived at Falmouth from Jamaica, and brought Kingston Gazettes to the eth September. An attempt was made to set fire to the city - of. Kingston, on the night of September 4. The premises of Mons. Battaille, corner of Harbour and West streets, were actually in flames ; but water being soon procured, it was got under. On examin ing the premises, it was found that a considerable quantity of combustible articles (pitch, oakum, &c.) bad been put•ttnder the shingles by some incendiary; the pillars of the piazza besmeared with pitch, and se veral mat.ches placed in different parts of the build ing, which must have been set fire to only a few mo ments before the fire was observed. This is not the only attempt of the same kind lately made in King ston ; but the incendiaries are not yet discovered.— Captain JOHN CoNN, of the SWIESTURE, fell from her stern-gallery, and was drowned.—The above papers do not contain any thing else of moment. • This morning we received New York and other American papers to the 23d ult. but their contents are uninteresting.
