y~ * great point gained, to make the real state of Spain nwn to the Spanish troops stationed in the north of ennany. BoxArastrz is aware of the danger of e i r mixing with his own army, and yet he is afraid .. r usting them by themselves. We hear, that he con trived to separate them from their own officers, e Spanish Staff being at Hamburgh, while the f ps are scattered in small divisions at a distance ; I d that he has thus rendered it impossible to extricate eel from his trammels. The following article is extracted from The Core fivrtior of Thursday, the 9th instant : ADTIATISZR Germs, 4 &CLOCK. • This morning the ship Iff, of Jersey, Captain Ls FRZRZ, ar lea st Cove from Gibraltar, after a very short passage. She so account, that the Governor df Gibraltar had received a 0 01 from the Commandant df Cadiz, to put the combined poth and Spanish Squadrons in his possession ; in consequence oa t h an expedition sailed for the above purpose, before the fild that place." Th e above we consider as a distorted echo of the nt ount we gave some days ago of General SPENCER'S de edition having proceeded from Gibraltar to Cadiz. The Spanish dynasty of the Bourborn Sovereigns, „hi c k may now be considered as at an end, had re igned one hundred and eight years, since the de; c ase of CHARLES the Second, the last Monarch of is Austrian line, in 1700. Four Kings only have sw ard the sceptre during that period; namely, PHILIP t t e rals, his two Sons, FERDINAND the Sixth, and c ol as the Third, followed by the late unfortunate CROW the Fourth. In his fate, the Emperor of Austria may behold, as in a mirror, his own ap. poachin g 'destiny, and certainly at no remote period d time. The King of Prussia can scarcely be con sidered, even now, as other than an individual not vet deprived of the Royal Title. It will afford the public some pleasure, in the midst d the depression of trade which at present prevails in Yorkshire, to be informed, that more business was int on the last market day, both at Leeds, Hudders field, and Bradford, than for a considerable time past. Sir WILLIAtt Scorr, yesterday, in the Prize Court, directed the whole of the Portuguese property which had been seized and brought into British ports, to be transferred to the Portuguese Ambassador, under \chose order and direction it is to be distributed to the various claimants.

The appearance and conduct of this excellent Corps af.. forded, on this occasion, one of the finest military spectacles ever witnessed in the evolutions of an equal number of men. They mancnuvred, in the first place, in six squadrons, and afterwards in twelve ; the review commenced at eleven o'clock, and was concluded by ten minutes after one. The Prince of WALES, the Dukes of Yoax and Castinunoe, and a great many General Officers, were present.

The delight which this farce aliorcled to the populace was considerably heightened by the periodical comfort which the cavalcade received at several whiskey-shops on the road. THE ARMY.

The Prince of Wales's Own Royal Battalion at Plymouth Volunteers, Lieutenant Colonel HAWKER, went off fourteen days' permanent duty last week.— It is but justice to this fine corps to say, that during the permanent duty, their conduct has been highly ex emplary, both as soldiers and citizens. Wednesday se'nnight, General Miclint reviewed the 53d Regiment at Newcastle, and was well pleased with their manoeuvres and appearance. The Tarbolton Company of Volunteers u pon pa rade on the 4th of June, unanimously agreed to ex change their present services, to that of the intended Local Militia, in the event of its being the desire of Government that they should do so.

Logan, Meyrick master.—This American vessel, laden with cotton, coffee, tobacco, dec. was captured on a voyage to Amster dam, by the Zenobia sloop of war, and brought to Yarmouth.— It appeared that she had been warned on her outward voyage, by ore of his Majesty's cruizers, not to proceed to Amsterdam, that port being in a state of blockade ; in consequence of which she made for a British port, and obtained a licence to proceed on her original destination. It further appeared that the capture took place after the licence had expired, from unavoidable delay. Th 4 Court restored the ship and cargo, but allowed the captors the ex pences of this day's hearing. Roebuck,' Bolan master.—This was also an American vessel, laden with salt, Liken on board at ltiarenn‘ s, and no an as , erted voyage to a British port, was captured by the privateer Crescent, and brought to Guernsey.

Farewel, MARGARET ! sweeter blossom Never grac'd fair Nature's bosom! Farewel now the blackbird's song, Warbled oft the woods among ! Farewel Love'. enraptur'd note, Swelling in the linnet'. threat ! The spell is broke: the dream is o'er; And Love and Music are no more. No more thy voice, with melting sound, Shall wake the woodland Echoes round. Another Nymph shall grace the plain ; And Spring shall blush and bloom again! But Spring shall blush, and Spring shall bloom, To breathe her sweets—on MARGARET'► tomb! St. Michael's spires, St. Michael's stream, With many a sinking sun sl all gleam ; And oft the paly moon shall rise, Ere Death can boast so fair a prize! The trembling dew-drop on the spray, That sparkles in the beam of May, The azure of yon cloudless sky, Reveals the lustre of thine eye. To Virtue's voice thy heart was true, And large with ev'ry generous view, • With ev'ry polish'd grace refin'd; Nor less the stores that fill'd thy mind. As Spring revives the circling year, For thee shall fall a glist'ning tear; And Heav'n its softest dews shall shed, Where earth's green mantle wraps thy head. Farewell Hope's delusive beam, Dancine bright on Pleasure's stream! FREOVeI, MARGARET ! sweeter blossom Never grac'd fair Nature's bosom! Ditrufrili. T. G. The King's Proctor's Bill of Charges for Proceed. ings in the 1-li 6 h Court of Admiralty, in the respec tive causes of Dutch Ships and cargoes condemned to the Crown, from November 1803 to November 1804, as paid out of the proceeds, amounts to 8,8191.41. sd. Sunday se'nnight in the afternoon, a very heavy storm came on in the town and neighbourhood of Dunse. Its duration was not above half an hour, but the rain and hail fell in such torrents, that the streets were completely covered with water to a considerable depth, and it stood in the houses of several of the in habitants so as to occasion considerable inconvenience and damage. It was accompanied by a whirlwind, which passed over Wedderbum and Manderston, tear ing the branches from some trees, and others up by the roots. At Polwarth the lightning broke-upon a large -I tree, and split it into several pieces. It seems to have entirely exhausted its force a little to the eastward of Dunse, for at Chirnside there was only a moderate rain, and the thunder scarcely heard. The rain on Friday and Saturday se'nnight fell in such torrents as to occasion an overflowof themountain stream between the glen of Aheclow and Galbally, in Ireland, which in its effect Was extremely injurious several cows, pigs, &c. were washed away and lost by the rapidity of the current ; and others that were taken down for more than a mile, were saved • some acres of potatoes were also swept away.—ln the me mory of the oldest man resident in that part of the country, there never was so great a flood. The Greenock paper gives the following account of a Midsummer storm :—" Monday se'nnight, about four o'clock in the afternoon, the most tremendous storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied with torrents of rain, and of hailstones of enormous size, ever remembered to have been seen by the oldest re sidenters, was experienced at Fairlie for about three quarters of an hour. A body of water rushed from the hills with such formidable impetuosity, as to resist all confinement to its usual channels, overspreading the fields, sweeping away_ with it stone dikes, the en tire soil of two fields, one of corn, and another of po tatoes, and partially injuring several others. In the-1 village, the houses were inundated three feet deep. It is somewhat remarkable, that at Largs, not more than two miles distant, this storm was by no means felt to the same degree, though we have heard, that on the Dumbarton side, and at Bishopton, on this side, it was nearly as violent and much about the same hour, as at Fairlie.—Here we saw noshing of it. ' Atsistitto TAtis' • Unconnecied With party, and animated only by a desire for the public good, we have already exprettect our opinion.respecting a measure which threatens the most alarming consequences. tt has been boldly as serted that misrepresentations had gone abroad re specting the nature of the alterations . proposCd to be introduced. Misrepresentations are not necessary to make the measure appear detestable—the Bill itself is sufficiently explicit, and on the Bill the Mowing resolutions were formed : At a numerous Meeting of the Commissioners of the Assessel Taxes,, acting in and for the Division of fiensingttin ; held at the Coffee-house atHammersmith, on Monday, the 13th of June, 1808, The Clerk hid Eefore the Meet:ng a printed Copy of a Bill now pending in Parliament, entitled, " A Bill to amend and regu late the Assessment and Collection of the Assessed Tates, and of the Tax upon Property, Professions, Trades. and Offices;' and the same having been read and considered, the following Resolutions were strived and seconded, and unanimotisly agreed to, vii. Resolved, That n the opinion of the Commissioners now pre sent, it would be derogatory from their characters, and injurious to their feeling+ as independent Men, acting gratuitously in the performance Of a very invidious and expensive service to the State, to be superintended, commuted, aad directed by an olicer appoin ted and paid by the Crown, without the same qualification in re spect of property as is required of themselves, sad who may by his conduct render himself extremely offensive. 2. That the Commissioners are unconscious .of having in any manner neglected their duty, but on the contrary, have always shewa the utniost promptitud.: in carrying into execution the varlaia Acts of Parliament relating to the Taxes ender their management. • • ' 3. That the CommissionerS cannot contemplate, without the mast lively apprehension, the effects Of the . proposed regulations fir enforcing the collection of the taxes by half-yearly instalments, because from their experience of the difficulties now attending the collection of the taxes, they are fully persuaded, that if these re gulations shall be acted upon, Exchequer process must be issued against task areal, and the utmost confusion and distress pre vail, and there is too much reason to fear that it would have a ten dency to produce a com6hted resistance to the levying of the Taxes, and in the end lead to consequences the most serious and alarming. 4. That the Commissioners are sensible of the necessity of an early and regular payment of the taxes ; but are of opinion that the laws now in force are fully adequate to that purpose, so far as it can be done consistently with the feelings and ability of the people under the present severe pressure of the times. Ordered, That the foregoing Resolutions be signed by the Chairman, and transmitted to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that copies be sent to the Members for the county of Mid dlesex.
