THE ARMY. The detachment of the Guards, under ostlers for foreign service, mustered yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, in the Birdcage-walk, St. James's Park, pre vious to their marching to Portstnouth.. A detachment of the Sd Regiment mustered this day, for marching orders. Monday a division of the Statutory Artillery pro. ceeded from Truro for Plymouth Dock, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Vrtrutt. The Earl of MARCII, and many Officers of dis tinction, are now at Plymouth, waiting the sailing o f the LAVINIA frigate to carry them to join their dif ferent corps in Portugal. A detachment of the Royal Waggon Train, con sisting of 90 men and horses, with 20 waggons, em- Worked on Thursday last at Falmouth for the Tagus. Letters from Madras state, that the heat produced by the late military differences in that Government, was entirely allayed. Most of the Officers who had been suspended were restored to their rank and the favour of Government. Some officers belonging to the Local Militia were on Monday summoned on a Court Martial at Maid stone, for the trial of a private in the Mailing Local Militia, but they objected to be sworn, or sit as mem bers, on the ground that they were not liable to be called .= that or any other military duty, while their corps were disembodied ; the objection was reported to the General of the District, who has directed the Court to be adjourned until further orders. 3RITISH ARMY AT CADIZ. EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM AN OFFICER OF THE 79TH REGIMENT, RECEIVED IN GLASGOW : " Isle de Leon, May 18, 1810. 41 DEAR SIR--I know you are anxious to hear from me, and to know about this part of the world. Isla is a nice little town, about seven miles from Cadiz—it is surrounded by water, but not deep ; the French army is strong, and within three miles of us, but have not as yet attempted to cross the water ; and indeed it is my opinion whenever they do they will meet with a warm reception, for our troops are in very high spirits and good order, and we have two of the first Generals that England can produce, these are Lieu tenant-General GRAHAM and the Hon. Major-General STUART. Our small army is composed of two regi. ments of Foot Guards, 79th, 87th, 88th, 94th, three companies of the 95th, 20th Portuguese regiment, very strong, and about 10,000 Spaniards ; we have also two troops of the 13th Light Dragoons, a very fine body of men and horses. Some of our troops are encamped near the town ; the Guards and us are in town in large convents. Each man has a blanket, but no straw, and plenty of good bread, beef, and wine. Yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing a woman that has a Captain's commission in the Spanish service; she is dressed like an officer, and commands a battery ; she sits on horseback like a man, and indeed you would hardly know her by a man from her appear ance. Her husband was a Captain, and was killed in the aforesaid battery some time ago ; she h ap pened to be present at the same time ; on seeing the soldiers confused at the sight of their dead Captain, she instantly took the command, and told them to mind their duty and their country's honour ; she con tinued in the same part for a week, and did not even go to see her husband interred. The Commander of the forces was pleased to give her her husband's corn mission for her bravery." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ISLE OF LEON, (CADIZ) TO A BENTLENIAN IN EDINBURGH, DATED MAY 30. " The British force here is about seven thousand, the Spanish ten ; and that of the French fifteen , thousand. General GRAHAM commands. We are , throwing up works in every direction, by which means, and the marshy grounds, intersected with salt ponds, surrounding the island, the place is re markably strong, indeed so much so, that many are of opinion we may be here for years. The fire of the French is chiefly directed against our boats, and ours against the working parties ; except this, we are very quiet. Within these fourteen days, two of the prison ships, containing about a thousand men each, have been drifted towards the French side, the prisoners had seized an opportunity of cutting the tables.. The French boats landed the whole from the ship which -first escaped, all seamen, and about 300 officers, they • set fire to it afterwards. The other was an Hospital ship, from which were landed most of the men. The Spaniards also set fire to her. The Spanish troops would undergo a great deal of fatigue, and fight well, if they had good officers; this is what they chiefly want. It is a pity that they have not British officers like the Portuguese. Excepting good meat, the mar kets here are well supplied with every necessary.— Were it not for our rations, consisting of a pint of wine, a pound of meat, with a pound of bread, per day, we should be badly off ; but as it is, most of the officers are saving money, which they may well do." NAVAL INTELLJBENCL The following , Letteecamelo hand this rnornjr% MINTZ,. GETOUT, 28th Ittue,lBlo. I send you this from the English brig HUNTER, under my command, belonging to Boston, 19 days from Teneriffe, to inform you that I left there on my departure three Spanish 74's and one transport, with French prisoners (I believe about three thou sand) from Cadiz ; they were convoyed by His Ma jesty's ship BULWARK, Captain Fisymo.

Grand total, including those in ordinary, building, repairing, &c. 1139. The Sr. PIERRE sloop of war, Captain HOUSTON, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, with dispatches from Guadaloupe, relating to the affairs of the Spa nish Main. They contain, we understand, further ad vices concerning the late determination of the inha bitants of the Caraccas, in declaring themselves inde pendent of the mother country. The dispatches were forwarded to London immediately. The St. Pierre left Barbadoes on the 29th of May, and Guadaloupe on the Ist ult. having had a short passage of twenty nine days. At the former place were lying the Nep tune, of 98 guns, Vice Admiral COCHRANE ; Aber crombie, Pompee, Danemark, and Sceptre, of the line ; Nyaden, Surinam, Opossum, Arachne, and Merope. Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE and the squa dron were very healthy. There had been no event lately of any importance, attending any of the ships on that station. The Druid, Sir WILLIAM Bovrox, arrived at Portsmouth on Friday, in six weeks from Jamaica.— She sook out a convoy. Every thing was tranquil on that station. There had been no appearance of an enemy's vessel for some time. The Aurora fri gate, Captain DUER, is coming home with the June convoy. The Polyphemus ( Admiral Rowtex's flag ship), and Sappho, were lying at Fort Royal. The Druid landed a freight of merchants' money, at Portsmouth, in the course of Saturday. The ship Wellington arrived on Friday at the Mo ther Bank, Portsmouth, from St. Lucie. She sailed l on the 24th of April, under convoy of the Blonde.— The Master died on the 29th of April, and his wife on the sth of May, of the yellow fever. The Mate and greater part of the crew were also attacked with that disease, and there was no one remaining that could navigate the ship. Upon which Lieutenant QUARRY and Lieutenant SMITH, passengers in the Blonde, instantly volunteered their services to assist in bringing the ship to England. They afterwards parted from the convoy, and having experienced very bad weather, suffered much from a want of provisions and water. Being off the Western Islands, they for tunately fell in with the Spanish ship Castilia, from Lima to Cadiz, which humanely supplied them with beef, water, and twelve bottles of ne for the sick. , The Wellington remained under quarantine on Sa turday. A number of American vessels, principally be. longing to Boston, have been seized at Hayti, by . CEIRISTOPITE, because the President of the United States had ordered the detention of the vessel fitting out for that Chief at Baltimore, under the direction of his Admiral GOODALL. Letters have been received from Canada of the 23d of March, only two days later than the date of Sir J. CRAIG'S Proclamation. The letters, which are from officers, state what might be anticipated from the conciliatory tendency of the Proclamation, that it had been attended with the happiest effect in tran quillizing the minds of the inhabitants. The powder-hoy cat ried off by the French prisoners from Hamoaze, last week, is supposed to be got clean ' off. The value of the powder and vessel is said to be between two and three thousand pounds. The Gazette of Saturday night contains an Order in Council, directing that all vessels coming from places whence quarantine is required to be Orform , ed, not only those bound to the port of Liverpool, or any creek or place belonging to the said port, but also all vessels bound to the ports of Carlisle, White haven, Lancaster, Preston, Chester, Beaumaris, and the Isle of Man, and any Creek or place belonging to any of the said ports, shall in future perform their quarantine at Bromborough Pool, instead of High lake or Milford Haven, as directed by an Order in Council of the sth of April, 1805. Thursday a Lieutenant of one of his Majesty's armed vessels, was taken before the Magistrates at Lewes, by the constables of Brighton, on a charge of having endeavoured to provoke a Gentleman of the name of Pinlerson to engage with him in a duel.— The result of the journey to Lewes was, that the Lieutenant was compelled to find two sureties in a bond of £5O each, for keeping the peace for six months, himself being bound over in a bond of 8100. A letter from Memel, dated the 20th May, states, that a disagreeable occurrence had taken place at Dantzic, in consequence of the capture of a packet boat belonging to some English merchants, and the dispatches not being properly sunk when thrown overboard, having been picked up by the privateer. Five French officers are appointed to open and in spect the contents ; after which, report says, they are intended to be forwarded to Paris, which will com pletely devclope the trade carried on with Britain. The Gloucester Coffee-house, in Piccadilly, was at seven o'clock, last night, thrown into great conster nation, the chimney having caught fire. It was, however, soon got under ; the alarm being given, several engines came to the spot ; a great concourse of people, who were on their return from the Parks, assembled round the house. Two horses belonging to Mr. Bower, of the Crown Inn, in Nottingham, were drowned last week at Trent Bridge. They were on their return from Newark, with a post•chaise, when the driver, with a view of washing their legs, turned down with them into the river, but proceeding too far, they were carried away by the force of the stream. The driver escaped by catching hold of the abutments of the arch. SPORTING IwrELLICENCL EIBURY RACES. itINE The Criwen Stakes, a subscription of Ky. each, with 250. added by the Club, for all ages.

On the 27th ult. died at Wheatfield, near Edin• burgh, JOANNA STEWART, aged 7, the eldest daughter of EDWARD BOYD, Esq. of Merton Hall. Tuesday as two boys mere at play in Exeter, lifting each other from t:ie ground by the head (termed by children, sheaving the way to London), one of them. by a sudden jerk, had his neck dislocated, and died while conveying to the Hospital. A boy, six years of age, son of a Mr. Durrant, of Chatham, was suffocated, some days since, in conse quence of a piece of meat sticking in his throat. In about seven minutes it was extracted, but the child was dead. Saturday morning the house of Mr. King, the sign of the Rein Deer, in Richard-street,Commercial-road. was broke into, and robbed of upwards of £BO and 30 gallons of spirits. One small cask was found upon the road, which the fellows had dropped. Five Quakers were last week committed to the House of Correction, at Wakefield, for one month, for refusing to serve in the Local Militia, or pay the fine. Thursday Rees, of Usk, was committed to Mon mouth gaol, charged with the wilful murder of his nephew, S. Rees. To CURE A LOCKED JAW.—A physician of St. Eu. statia said, in the numerous cases of lucked jaws he never lost a patient. His treatment was to make a strong lye of wood-ashes, and dip the wounded foot or hand repeatedly therein. But if any other part of the body was hurt, which could not be immersed, the part affected to be bathed with flannel wrung out of the warm lye.
