A Gentleman who has just arrived from Tarragona states, that at that city and at Tortosa, the inhabitants were actively engaged in making preparations in the expectation of a siege. The force already raised amounted to about 6000 men, only two regiments of which were completely armed, accoutred, and disci plined ; and the remainder, consisting of boys from 16 to 20 years old, were daily exercised in the open fields, furnished with heavy stakes instead of muskets. That the military might receive the enemy with greater advantage, should he make his appearance, the suburbs of the town for nearly the distance of a mile were levelled to the ground. This morning arrived a Cadiz Mail, and brought us Journals and Letters, from which we make the following extracts : CADIZ, JUNE 23. I have little to add to my last communication.— We know the expedition that left this place, having arrived at Alexiara, and, joined by other troops and armed peasantry, are gone to Ronda ; at the same ti n hat General Bowes, with a detachment of Bri tish troops, calls the attention of the enemy all along :he coast to the eastward—we long to know t e rc , l lr, which, no doubt, is combined with some o:-...tion here. The Duke of Orleans arrived in this port in the Spanish frigate Veliganza on Wednesday, and is still . here. It seems he returns shortly to Catalonia to see what he can do them. TARRAGONA, MAY 29. It is known with certainty that a division of the army which marched by the pass of Frasno, in Ar *o tan, in the direction of Saragossa, the force of w ►ich was from 800 to 1000 men, and which guarded a rich convoy of a number of carriages, laden with valuable effects, and a quantity of money, amount i g to a mill on of rials, with muskets and military stores, has been attacked by the division of Brigadier Don Pedro Villacampa, and entirely destroyed, not a single man escaping, almost all being killed, as none were made prisoners, but those who, from the severity of their wounds, were incapable. The whole convoy likewise remained in our hands. AYAMONTE, JUNE 18. The French, on the 15th, continued at Moguer. During the action at Gibraleon on the 4th, the Pa triots took a part of the baggage of the Duke d'Arem berg. On the 10th the division of General Ballesteros was in Fregenal ; that of General Mendozatal in Xeres and Burguillas ; and the French in Zafra, Salvatierra, and Lapa.rra. On the 15th Ballesteros passed to Aracena,. from which 400 French fled, who had entered the same day. The cavalry of General Cauponson on the 15th made a reconnoitring on Gibraleon and Trigueros.— Our reconnoitring parties are continually in motion. On the sth a French Courier arrived .at Seville, from Madrid, whence three are already wanting.— He relates that on the evening of his departure, Jo seph Bonaparte, with two divisions, had marched for Valencia ; but the private letters contradict this intel ligence, some saying that he goes to Andalusia, others to Estramadura, and others to Burgos. In Madrid they were preparing to give bull-fights, for which purpose bull-fighters had been brought from .Andalusia. On the Bth the French announced to the public the defeat of the Chief Copons (so they said), at Gibra leon, by the division of the Duke of Aremberg, with out more loss on their part than two killed. But in Seville it was known that he had required at Tregu eros 21 labourers, with pickaxes, to bury his dead, and 22 carts to convey his wounded ; among whom was a Colonel who had treated the people of the vil lages with the greatest harshness and cruelty. In fact, on the 9th and 10th, the convoy of the woun ded, in the above-mentioned action, was seen to en. ter by the bridge of Triana. PRIVATE LETTER. 4 , ISLE OF LEON, JUNE 10. g i Our situation is such that it affords very little va riety ; firing from the batteries, mornipg, noon, and night. We have not as yet lost an inch of ground, nor do I think that it is likely at present, although Marshal I....febre has taken the command of the French army, and report says, that he has pledged himself to take, Cadiz in the course of a month—that he intends to breakfast at Isla, and dine at Cadiz on a certain da; ; but I think he will get such a lunch on the road, that his appetite will be spoiled for dinner. " The enemy have been before this place nearly five month , , and have not yet gained a single step ; in fact, hen they first took a position before it they were above a thousand yards in advance to what they Are now. Th►ey are constructing very large redoubts, and are otherwise acting so much on the defensive, that I think their force is not so great as is generally supposed. _ _ " The Spanish soldiers are very fine fellows ; and in several instances, in which they have been led on well by their officers, have behaved remarkably well. General BLAKE has introduced stricter discipline among them ; such as having them out to drill, and attending parades, which has been hitherto much ne glected. I cannot well give you a correct account of their numbers, but I should think they have from ten to twelve thousand men ; and numbers arrive daily as they are picked up along the coast by the shipping and brought into Cadiz. The number of unemployed officers was very great till lately, when about 700 were sent to Minorca, to organize some recruits, and to be in readiness to be sent to any part of the coast o f the Mediterranean. Notwithstanding, this place is still crowded with them. Since the British troops have been here, the Spanish soldiers have altered their appearance very much, by copying the former in their dress as far as possible, and they begin to look rather smart. They have also better clothing, and every thing assumes a brighter appearance. 66 We are at present making our position as strong as possible, which is called our second line of defence, and consists of redoubts. It keeps me employed from four in the morning till seven at night, resting only in the extreme heat of the diy. The troops are ra ther sickly, owing to the wine being so cheap, of which they drink :o much, that it brings on dysen tery, &c. We are considered as a division of Lord WELLINGTON'S army. Although the French are re. markably quiet, and are intrenching themselves, and we on our part are also strengthening our position, yet notwithstanding this calm, we may shortly have a storm. A few days since nbout 4000 Spaniards arrived, which makes us tolerably strong, about 20,000 men. We had a grand field-day on the 4th ; the troops were in excellent order, and looked remarkably well. Seventy horses have arrived for the artillery ; also 200 dragoons ; so that the army is very complete, and every thing that is to be expected from British troops will, I am certain, be performed by them." By a Gottenbttrgh Mail which arrived this mrrn• ing, we have received several communications•relative to the late disturbances at Stockholm. One of these we have given in a succeeding column, and others a: e subjoined : STOCKHOLM, JUNE 43. Since the dreadful event& of the 20th, this city has assumed the aspect of a besieged town, artillery sta tioned in the principal avenues, cavalry patroling, and infantry under arms, to prevent a recurrence cf the scenes of that awful day. Several of the ringleaders have been apprehended, but no person of consequence has been discovered among them ; the only suspicious circumstance con nected with this event is, that en many of the persons arrested, sums of money have been fo , ind, which, though occasionally small, are far above the means of the possessors to obtain in an honest manner. The number of killed and wounded on the 20th is vari ously stated, the lowest estimate of the former is 16, and the highest 10, and 130 wounded ; of the mili tary five have been killed, viz. one artilleryman, one dragoon, and three of the guards, besides several dangerously wounded by stones, &c. The forbear ance of the troops was astonishing, and though corn mendable, yet if a proper degree of severity had been exercised at the commencement of the affair, the sad catastrophe might have been prevented. Count Uglas is at his country seat, and Countess Piper at the fortress of Waxholmen, under a guard of safety. There are at this time between 7000 and 8000 troops of different descriptions, in this city and environs. STOCKHOLM, JUNE 25. His Royal Majesty has received the following Mc motial from the Office of the Chancellor of Justice : HUMBLE MENIORIAL. " In obedience to your Royal Majesty's most gra cious commands to report the result 4C , Ole inquiry set on foct, in consequence of your Majesty's rders of the ith inst. touching the truth or falsehood of the report thrown into circulation that the death of his Royal Highness the late Crown Prince had been occa sioned by poison, I humbly beg leave to state, that the said investigation was immediately commenced on the 10th instant, in my absence, but is not yet closed, because several persons remain yet to be examined,. in order perfectly to satisfy your Majesty's most gra cious desire, that all the light be thrown on this im portant business which can possibly be obtained. ,‘ As far as the above inquiry has hitherto been conducted, it has not afforded any ground to suppose that tL•e above report, which besides may be coml. deied as already refuted by the report of the - Royal College of Physicians on the causes of his Royal Highness's death, has the least foundation. Whether the examination of the persons whose depositions remain yet to be taken, will tend to place this matter in a different light, must soon be known. In order, however, to encourage the discovery of truth by all lawful means, I humbly submit to your Royal I Majesty, whether it would not be conducive to that end, to offer a reward to such of your Majesty's faithful subjects, as are in possession of legal evi dence corroborating the above repo►t, to step forward in aid of justice, and give that evidence befole, a Court of Law, in order that Ow offenders may be lawfully convicted, or in ease of such evidence not being offered, the falsehood of the above report more clearly appear, which otherwise cannot but stain for ever the honour of the Swedish nation." 44 We EIBITIBVt." In consequence of the above report, his Royal Ma jesty has most graciouslybeen pleased to order a reward of ✓O,OOO rix dollars in Bank specie, to any person who may be able to give legal evidence of the death of his Royal Highness the Lite Crown Prince having been occasioned by poison or any other criminal means, and shall give such evidence before a Court of Law in a manner sufficient to convict the offender, of whatever rank or description he may be. Various letters and newspapers have been received from America, viz. from Baltimore to the 30th May, from Washington to the4th of June, from Charles. ton to the sth, and from New York to the 7th cif the same month. The National Intelligencer presents some animadver sions, intended to be severe, on the delay which occur red in Great Britain between Mr. PINCKNEY'S first interview with Marquis WELLESEEY, and that No blemans. answer to his note—also some remarks on the conduct of France towards America. We have given some extracts in a succeeding column. A Gentleman from the Havanna)), who left that settlement on the 19th May, which is 23 days later than the intelligence from Cuba through any other channel, states, that at a meeting of the Cabilda or Council, the Marquis de SOMORUELOS, the Governor, proposed to declare the independence of the colony ; when the Members of that Assembly stated their ob jection to such a declaration, on the ground of the probability or passibility of the ultimate triumph of the Patriots of Old Spain, and their legitimate Sove. reign, FERDINANL VII. overthelegions of the Usurper. The consequence was that this important settlement remained still faithful to the interests of the parent state. THE ARMY. - The Marquis of HUNTLEY and Sir Join; SINCLAIR have just returned to town from Portsmouth. The Duke of NORFOLK, Earl of MARCH, and Lord Dowx, are now there. The first and last of these Noblemen are now there on their visit to their fine regiments, who are doing duty over the French prisoners. Li.rd MARCH, with many other Officers and a body of men, are going out to join his regiment in Portugal. Large detachments are going out to the 13th Light Dra goons, and 200 men to the Rifle Corps. The Guards who have been lately drafted for fo. reign service, have been countermanded, and ordered to join their respective COM yanks. BRIGHTON, IIII.Y 6. Lord C. SOMERSET inspected the 10th Drageoas on Newmarket-hill yesterday, and expressed his )ligh ap probation of the conduct and appearance of the men. The 10th Dragoons may be justly , considered as one of the best disciplined regiments in Europe. The Royal Hitrse Artillery were inspected by Lord C. SoraF.nsEr this morning, were honoured by his approval. A General Court-Martial was opened at the Castle Tavern this morning, on Corporal Curtis, of the Ox fr,rds!..ire Militia, a charge being preferred against him by his Lieutenant• Colonel (Punnorr), accusing him of endeavouring toexcite dissatisfaction among the privates of his regiment, by persuading them that they had been defrauded of certain articles, such as shoes and stocks, by their Commander. Lieutenant Colonel OI.LNEY, of the South Gloucester Militia, was the President. Major REYNOLDS, Deputy Judge-Ad vocate. The Court was composed of the Officers, (the usual number) of the South Gloucester, War wick, and Leicester regiments of Militia. The evi dence for the prosecution being gone through, a few witnesses were called in support of the prisoner, and the Court adjourned at three o'clock. BLRWICK-UPON-TWEED, JULY 4. This good old town, amidst the profoundest inter nal tranquillity, still continues to present to the tra veller all the shew and apparatus of war. Having been once the ancient barrier between Scotland and Englanel, it still exhibits all the cautious discipline of a frontier garrison. The walls :tee surmounted with cannon, and at every gate and bastion the proper centinels are posted. At ten o'clock in the evening the gates are regularly shut, and arc usually opened at six in the morning. The barracks are a fine ancient building, forming a spacious square, and the range of magazines, though now nearly unstored, still shew the importance anciently attached to this military post. Within these last few years, however, the walls and bastions have been partially dismantled, and the greater part of the stationary garrison, consisting of invalids, who here, and in all parts of Scotland, are called foggies, have been sent to Orkney and other military stations in the North. Their place is sup plied by detachments of the militia, or regular troops. At present here arc eight companies of the Aberdeenshire Militia stationed here, who appear to be a very fine body of men, ant: expect soon to pro ceed farther to the South. The rest of the regiment are lying at Dunbar, and in the neighbourhood. The parade•ground adjoining to the barracks, is very spa cious, and is the usual resort in the evening of the few fashionables residing here, who are regaled with the usual military music, and afterwards walk along the walls, till the close of the day reminds them of retiring. The VExus frigate has sailed from Portsmouth for America with Mr. MORIER on board, our new Mini ster to the United States.
