number of guerrilla parties throughout all Castile, which daily annoy the enemy, intercepting the com munications, and obliging them to marsh in strong detachments, notwithstanding the reports continually spread by the French and those in their interest, cal culated to discourage the inhabitants, persuading them that the English will not support the cause of Soaia ; they are, however, w: w convinced of the con trary. Their heavy artillery is at a stand near San Munos, and from the incessant rain for days past, it pill be extremely difficult to move it forward. Their cavalry must have suffered very notch, if we may conclude from the number of dismounted soldiers, and useless horses which we have seen pass to Pena. :anda and Canter de Piedra." Another, dated June 12 : , t No t-oups have, nor can march out to-day.— There are very few here, and it appears they have confidence it) those they have sent ofT, as also those' stationed in Zamora and Toro. It appears to me not unimportant to add, that the total of the troops under Ney, Junot, and Loison, which are stationed from here and Ledesma to Ciudad Rodrigo, including the brigade which marched to Banos, and which has returned to Taniames, may amount to 36,000 or 38,000 men ; 5000 of which or more is cavalry. Of this number there is daily a considerable diminution ; and more than the half, particularly tLe cavalry, are raw troops, and easy to defeat, by routing the 2d diVi sion of Marchand and. Mermet. u The Colonel of the 65th Regiment of Dragoons writes to the Paynia ter for money to pay his troops, which have not received any for ten months. Ney has pocketed the greater part of the contributions he raised, and Massena has distributed among the offi cers of his staff a small quantity of money which he brought from France. Ney is not content with Mas seas appointment to the command, nor is he with Ney or Junot, nor do these latter troops agree among themselves. Massena has returned here ; the heavy artillery is at a stand at St. Munos ; and two 18-pounders, with two mortars which remained here, were taken forward. A quantity of ammunition and biscuit has been also sent from hence, On the 3d, 46 died in the hospital, and their sick amounts to 3000. (A correct Translation.) CARROT.." (To k continued.)

No intelli7ence has been received since yesterday from Lord AVELLING-roN's army, but the Spanish Am. bassador has received letters from Corunna, which state, that up to the 9th instant Ciudad Rodrigo still held out, and what is still more satisfactory, if true, that the Spanish army of Gal icia had assumed - such a formidable appearance that NEY (the Duke of El chingen) had bees obliged to detach 7000 y of his besieging troops to Astorga to keep the Spaniards in awe. This circumstance is mentioned as accounting for the obstinacy with which the Patriots retain Ciu. dad Rodrigo. This intelligence is in some measure confirmed by the arrival of a vessel from Cadiz, by which we learn that 600 Officers had been sent from thence to assist in organizing the recruits of Gallicia, .and subse quently to join the army at the defiles of Villa Franca, where General MAIII commands a force of about 7000 men. With respect to Lord WELLINGros's movements, some of the most accredited letters from head-quarters mention that it was his Lordship's intention to await the enemy in his present position, upon the advan !ages of which, as well as upon the bravery and dis cipline of his troops, he relied with perfect confidence of success, in the event of his being attacked. Lord West uvorox had no intention of acting on the offen sive, unless the enemy should divide their forces for any particular enterprize, in which case he would avail himself of the opportunity to attack one of their corps. fly a vessel which left Cadiz CM the 28th ult. the following letter has been received : " We are as indifferent about the enemy as ever. We have abundance of provisions of all kinds, and as gold beef and mutton as you have in London -12,000 troops of the line, including some English, after driving the French from Ronda and Marseilla, are gone to attack them at Malaga, whither they are fled. This army will be joined by 6000 Siranos (mountaineers of the Sierr.i) and all the inhabitants of that city. "The English have constructed eight formidable batteries between Puente Suazo and Sante Petre : and the Spaniards several redoubts, which render that quarter as impregnable as Gibraltar." It appears by the last advices from India, that the Company's funds are improving. The 8 per cent. paper, which in 1798 was at 17 per cent. discount, now bears a premium of 5 per cent. ; and the interest 14 the public funds is likely soon to be reduced to 6 per cent. THE LATE. FAILURPS.....The principal, indeed the only interesting article of Home Intelligence, at pre sent, is the state of the public credit ; and this, we are happy to state, is gradually mending. We hear of no more failures. Confidence seems, at last, if not thoroughly re-established, at least gradually recover ing from the shock it lately received.

ASSEMBLY, JULY 20, 1810. After the dispatch of the usual business relative to the admission of persons to the freedom of the City,. Mr..SlNNrr•r moved for the appointment of a Committee to take into consideration the condition of their poor fellow-citizens, the manufacturers of Dub lin, and to devise the method of affording them relief. CIFTARD seconded the motion. He thought it the bounden duty of every Inan to endeavour to alleviate the distresses of the poor artisans of Dublin, and-hoped, however Gentlemen might differ on other topics, that there would be only one opinion on the question before them. He could assure them, that at the meeting of the Privy Council, men of oprisite political principles had attended, and that all party dissention had gi en way to the feeling of humanity ; that they all most cordially concurred in endeavour ing to give effect to the benevolea intention of the Lord Lieutenant, to alleviate the miseries of the wretched artisans of the tits' of Dublin. He then recommended the consumption of home-made manu factures, and entered into a calculation to shew the great relie f that would be given to the poor, if only 5000 persons could be found (though he was sure that more could be found) to expend RIO each in the purchase of articles of weir. Let us imitate, in our little Council, the unanimity which prevailed at the Castle.. 1 hope that all party dissention will be forgotten in our endeavours to relieve the mise ries of our fellow-citizens, and that our only conten tion will be in yielding to each ()chef who will be the foremost. A Committee was accordingly appointed, who hav ing retired, came to three resolutions ; the first, highly approving the plan of subscription proposed by his Grace the Lord Lieutenant ; the second, to promote the use and consumption of Irish Manufactures ; and the third to appoint Committees to go through the se veral Parishes, and receive the signatures of such per sons as were disposed to follow those humane and ne cessarymeasures. Mr. Hurros then made his promised motion for the repeal of the Union. He prefaced it by a very short speech, in which he adverted to the misery of his fellow-citizens, bereft of employment, and perishing from absolute hunger. He said that their unparalleled wretchedness onola to awaken the feelings of hums. nity to make every possible exertibn to alleviate their sniferings. He then mentioned, that he had brought to the House three Resolutions, but that the appoint ment of the Committee which had just taken place, superseded the necessity of his proposing one of them, he therefore read only the other two, uhich were as follow : Recut...A, That we now feel as we have an unshaken loyalty to out Sovereign, King George the Third, and the Succession of his Royal House; and we have to lament that his Majesty should have been so grossly imposed on by Ids Minister., us in terminating the last Sessions of Parliament, to state the growing prosperity of Ireland, when his Ministers, in making such r2pre sensations to his Mles:youtist have kiios..l that the very reverse was and is the tact, Resolved, That the ?regent distre s s and growing misfortunes of Ireland have arisen from not having a residcm Parliaaunt, who alone would he capable of knowing tl r real want, of this country, and provitlii g for it adequate rernedie:; and we are the more foram, in this oar opinion t.y the manner in which the late monstrous system of taxation wa, imposed on t:tis Country ; and which is contrary to every sound principle of Legislation ; we therefore appeal to one countrymen and Fellow-Citizt ns to come forward in Corporate Bodies, and in County .and Grand Jury Meetings, to demand a restoration of that Constitution which is our Birthrigit, and of which" we have been dispossessed by Friud and Corruption. Mr. HUTTON ellen adverted to the immense im ports from England, and to the great drain of money from Ireland to support absentees, and to pay the in terest of the sums borrowed in England, as this coun try was so poor as not to be able to advance money for the service of Government. Mr. GIFFARD complained of the advantage which 1 any Gentleman, valin brought forward any motion, I had over the persQn. who. might undertake to reply to him, inasmuch as he may taketis measures at leisure, I i and know what he intends doing beforehand; whereas the defence must arise upon 'the moment—that the first part of the first resolution was unnecessary, as I the loyalty of the Corponition 'was undoubted and unimpeachable, but the second was in itself an 'Alicia- 1 . 1 cious and arrogant .attack on his Majesty. If ever insolence was shess n, it is in that resolution—who is i the bi;ld m:m that will dare to say that the King was imposed on ? how does he know it—was he in the Cabinet—did lie hear the advice given to the King ? There are two kinds of patriotism—one is by deci:- matory speeches to irritate the per pie, regardless of; consequences. He then denied that the present tin. 14timate state of credit arose from the political cit.- cuntstances of the country, and contended, that as the distress was as general in England as in Ireland, that ; it originated from unbounded speculation in men with 1 small capital ; and in order to prove the prosperity of 1 the country, he instanced the high price of houses in I 1 the city. That if the evil were connected with the 1 Union, that X 200,000 advanced by Government - 1 would not he sufficient to restore public credit—but i that if it were su ffi cient, k mint afford a convincing proof that the.miseries of manniacturers were not Un- I putable to the Legislative Union of the two countries —that this country had been formerly only a pro. 1 wince, but that at present, on the payment of 2-17ilts 1 of the taxes we were associated in all the glory of the Empire, and possessed the protection of the n..ry and army of England—that whether the money was bor• rowed in England or Ireland, it was the same Ming, as the interest must at all events be paid. So far as the Resolution goes to serve the manufacturer • I will vote for it ; but of what use is the other part ? " Cod Bono ?" says Mr. GiGfard, I will tell you the use of it. It is to irritate. Must the King, to please the agira. 1 tors, go back to Parliament, and say to them, " My former speech was false ; I have been deceived by my Ministers." The Resolutions are unnecessary, and derogatory of the honour of the Crown—l will vote against them ; {rut such a Resolution as that of Mr. Sinnett's I think moderate, reasonable and rational. i Mr. HARTY supported Mr. Hutton's Resolutions. Mr. M'AULEY rose to oppose them ; he hated the 1 Union ; but to it all the distresses of the country were not to be imputed ; the country was in a Routishing , 1 state, we e n sen narcoti t wheat cs ;t.o-alfeel wasd En b g ad lislLmen ver , r w th e h in a g d wna tive wine at home, but according to our orators it was all deleterious poison, a malgamated with the juice of barley in a desperate state with the orators ; with them, there was not a bppe to pick in all Ireland ! yet he would tell- the Gentlemen, that tlsef were all plump Jack daws. No fruits in the country—no, not a dessert of savory, ruddy, sweet fruit in the country—all the people food for gun-powder. A separation from England, or you must have united Irishmen—ale people sent to the mountain-top to dig for daylight; but he could tell the cause of the wretchedness of the country—it was caused by the voluptuousness and :pride of the citizens of Dublin; they wtve in a ple thora, and wanted blood-letting ; their extravagance ' brought on the general bankruptcy of the country ; don't say it was the Union ; you might as well say the fire at Constantinople WAS caused by the Union. Bankroptcy is the order of the day in England as well as in Ireland : your bankruptcy is caused by men of no capital, no honour, no honesty—men of no capital, or of sm all capital, who find it their interest to keep up the smoak of delusion—fly kites—raised like Ixion to the clouds, their wings of paper melt, and down they drop, and then they cry out, the Union hasdestroyed thecoun try! As well might theyexpcct that theg rea t devomerof the Continent, Bonaparte, would give up his usurpa tions in Holland. The insolvency of your country was caused by your men of sublimity. Look at your • city—houses bring a high rent, and there are persons to take them—l:rok at the vicinage—see the constella. tion of Villas—how many stars of the first magnitude have been added to this refulgent galaxy. That there were starving manufacturers long before the Union —that they were relieved—that the Union did not cause every misfortune—tle.t he was itinred by it— that he did not let lodgings in his house at the hand some rate as formerly, though he thanked GOD still that neither iie nor his family wanted a dish. A short debate ensued, when Sir J. Riddall deci ded that the question should be pot ; it was accord. ingly put, upon which the worthy Knight declared the motion passed in the affirmative. A ballot was instantly demanded by Mr. Gifford ; when there appealed, White Beans for the Resolution, 43—Elac1< Beans, I.s—Maj.BB. On the second Resolution being put, Mr. GlfleAßD opposed it, on the ground of being outrageous and ridiculous. Mr. Frass spoke strongly in favour of the Resolu tion, and declared that he would not give his vote to any candidate who would not pledge himself to originate or support a repeal of this most ediotts Act. He had a vote in the Counties of Dublin and Loath, and Mr. Foster should never get either.—(Lord44- -He insisted that Mr. Foster cheated the country at the time of the enactment of the Union. After a few words from Mr. PATTaRSON, the second Resolution was put and carried without a division. The Resolutions were then sent up to the Board of Aldermen for their concnrrencr, who, after some time, sent back a mecsage, that they could not agree with the Sheriff and Commons in those Resolutions; but had appointed eight of their Body to form a Com mittee to prepare an Address to his Maiesty, , and also a Petition to Parl:ament, and to report to the next Assemble. M. (NAV:7V moved, that the House do agree with the Board of Aldermen in the appointment of a com mittee. Ile was seconded by Mr. Wo.t.n. On the motion being Rut and carried, a Committee of sixteen . was app Hinted. Mr. FARRELL moved, that Mr. Foster's picture be taken down out of the Mayoralty House, which was seconded by Mr. Willis. This was opposed by Mr. King and Mr. M'Auley. Mr. SHAW said, the picture should not only be taken down, hot litied by every Irishman ; he disap pointed his country r n the question of Union; as he led the people to believe he would never put the question. For raking mown the Picture, 36—Fcr waiting the Report of the Committee, 33—MAjority, An Address of Thanks was voted to the Lord Lieutenant, for his benevolent attention to the Manu facturers. A v.:1165'60n is now sign;ng by several Freeholders of the County of Kent fur the purpose of convening a meetinj, to present a Petition for a Parliamenta y Reform. A duel WAS fought on Monday, on Colchester-green, rear Dorchester, between R.. N. KNEvierr, t.sq. .t Volunteer Officer, and Captain FALLsIIAWZ of the Local Militia, in consequence of a quarrel at a ball room, r4o Saturday night. The parties fi red and scd, but in the second - fire, the ball grazed the arm of Mr. K.vrerrT, and lodged in the left breast. It was immediately extracted, but he is considered in a dan gerous wny. Among the company present at the marriage cere mony between Lord . BROWKLOW and Miss How. yesterday evening, were, the Earl and Countess of BRIDGE:IV ATER, Colonel and Mrs. EVELYN, Mr. and Mrs. Lost:, the Dowager Lady BitowNLow, who was richly dressed in white satin, Miss De &am &c.
