VIGO, APRIL the ma n, which arrived this evening, intelligence been rtceived that the enemy has:again occupied ; i e do, Gijon, and Ailles, although his present stay ;it, in all problbility, be as short as his former.— The ene my's force, which lays siege to Astorga, does • exceed "OW men, and is therefore by no means s,;iiiciently strong to reduce that place.

The accounts from Catalonia (though they are not ,icial) assert that our army has defeated the French, rho were at Reus and Valli, near Ignalada. On our part we lost 3 or 4000 men, but the French have lost their whole army, which consisted of 12,000 men. •r this be true we may shout Victoria ! CADIZ, APRIL 27. W e l e arn that Don Vellacampo, although having entere d Ferrol, and received intelligence that the armyo f A rragon had marched to Catalonia with a v i es rof beating O'Donnell's corps, m arched to Sara. rossa , which he entered without the least opposition. Apia .10.—Since' the evacuation of Fort Mota -rda, we haie had nothing' materiel happen ; both ! e s are no doubt making preparations for further t empts. All the intelligence we receive from Catalonia is of most flattering description. Admiral Martin still tains in the naval cdmmand. Our head-quarters at Isler, a small brigade only of British troops re ining here. The Duke of Albuquerque is to sail the Undaunted for England. Sir Charles Cotton ived here on Saturday last; he has shifted his flag the San Josef, and proceeds. to-morrow to take the antnand of the Mediterranean fleet. A dispatchArom General 1-I.,o'Donnell, dated Ve lrett, April 14, states, ' that subsequent to the ac. an of the 3d,, near Espanaguera, the division pur ,sedits march under the orders of Major General Marquis Campasrerde. to Manresa, but the enemy mutated the place, marching in the direction of Bar lona. Campaverde ordered them to :be pursued, Id an obstinate conflict took place, .the, result of hich was, the complete defeat of the enemy's divi ,n of 1300 men, commanded by General Schewartz, ho, after having received two wounds, owed the res e r vation of his life to the swiftness of a horse.— rne enemy lost 500 killed, and had 299 taken prise kers ; the rest were dispersed, and pursued their flight Barcelona, without knapsacks and arms. mallow, APRIL so. Lord Wellington has advanced into Spain, but his Tad quarters still remain at Vizeu, the.accounts are laily expected of his altering them for some place within the frontiers of Spain.—lt seems that the French, who had hitherto been retreating, thought fit to advance upon the British, but as soon as they came in sight of General Hill's advanced guard, they took to their heels and made the best of their way to rejoin their companions. MALTA, MARCH 16. :Information has been just received, that the Island of Lissa, situated in the Adriatic Sea, has fallen into bur possession. From such an acquisition, ii is rea sonable to expect that considerable advantages will result, it being very commodiously situated to form a depot for the introduction of merchandize into Ger many; both British manufactures and colonial pro duce. GIBRALTAR, APRIL 17. We have no news here, except that the French are in possession of Rous in Catalonia, and have gar risoned the place with 4000 men. The news from Malta by this packet, informs us of !!!e Black Sea being opened to us, and the favourable state of politics at Constantinople seems to hold cut some hopes of a revival of business. Arani - 18.—A French spy was taken up here four days ago : the day before yesterday a Spanish General was brought prisoner and confined to the main guard, charged.with having sold the passes of the Sierra Mo rena to the French. This day he and Count TILLY were sent off to Cadiz to be tried. ----- APRIL 23.—We have received late intelligence from Alicant, Valencia, and from the pvovince of Ca talonia ; and every thing there is in repose. The absentees from Valencia have ventured to return to their habitations. We are not wholly without satis factory information. The communication of the enemy with Blicelnna is intercepted is consequence Of a victory obtained by General o*Donnell [see the STAR of Friday}, and it is supposed that in different engagements 7000 men have been lost by the enemy. Yesterday ar r ived here the TERRIBLIC, of 74 guns, with a large convoy from Malta, after a very tedious passage. FROM THE 'GERMAN PAPERS. PRESBURGH, APRIL 17. The Grand Vizier's head-quarters were stilt, at Sthintnla in the beginning of this month. At Con stantinople, as well as in thit Turkish army, many English Officers had arrived from Malta. The Grand Signor, Mahmud, assisted" almost every day at the deliberatiops of die Oivan. The preparations for opening a new campaign , against the Russians were carried on in all the.provinces of the Turkish Empire with the greatest activity. • The Turkish ilea% the port of Constantinople was ready to set sail on n oruizii into the Black Sea.

'SALZBURG, APRIL 28. Our fatevemains'as yet undecided, and Salzburg, the Inn quarter, and the part of Upper Austria ceded by the late treaty of. peace, 'are still administered by French Office;;. . BANKS OF THE - ELDBOWAY 4. A Araveiltv of afi''erfflrit - "cornmercial house at lftelf,'. *Opted fro Stockholm, via Ystadt and Straygad brings intelligence that a for midable party, has been-.formed in that kingdom, headed by -Count'de hi"Garde p and some other No blemen, who are eitreirtity diktatisfied with the pre sent new order of things, and . who are quite averse to having the Prince of Augtistenburg as successor to the Swedish Ortiwn; and wish the kingdom to devolve after the present usurper's death to their legitimate Crown Prince, sett of the dethroned Monarch Gusta vus Adolphus, now - ink exile. The peasants are said to be in favour of glis party, the heads of whom are already Forbiddifi to appear at Court, though they have not yet made any attempts to enforce their pre tensions by rising in arms. A secret ferment, how ever, pervades the whole kingdom, and by the King's orders troops have been ordered to the sea coast, as well as to the vicinity of the capital. The new Crown Prince'is 'very unpopular, as the Swedes hate the very name of a Dane. His appointment is said to have taken place, at the express desire of Bonaparte, who, under certain circumstances, has promised all Norway to Sweden. Respecting these secret agitations, the greatest silence is observed in the public papers, and only the Correspondent of last Tuesday stated, that on the 17th and 18th, couriers were dispatched from Stockholm to St. Petersburgh, Paris, and London. The appearance of a British fleet in the Baltic, with troops on board, seems also to have given some alarm both in Sweden and Denmark. In the former coun try a camp of 8000 men is forming near Carlscroua ; and in the Danish dominions all the military are to assemble at their full rendezvous in the middle of this month. Privateletterslately received from Bourdeaux in some commercial cities in the North of Germany, speak of some serious reverses that have befallen the French in Spain. _ Some say Mortier and Ney have been taken. Other private letters from Paris confidently state, that Count Metternich's negociations have for theirbbject the dismembering of Turkey, which seems to be resolved upon. Several ships direct from Bour deaux, and laden with wine, are lately arrived in the river Elbe with French licences. FROM THE arrrneuitom MAIL. GOTTENBURGH, MAY 7. An English squadron of line of battle ships has been reported, from the Telegraph, to have passed this port under a press of sail to the Northward, supposed for the Baltic. COPENHAGEN, APRIL Q. General Count Wrede, who proceeds to Paris to congratulate their Imperial Majesties on their mar riage on the part of the King of Sweden, arrived here last Thursday, and intends to set out to-morrow for his place of destination. He is accompanied by his son, Count J. Wrede, Major and Aid-de•Camp in the Swedish service. ST. PETERSBURGH, APRIL IL The Russian land forces are now in the whole composed of 617,586 men. The army destined for active service in the field is divided into 23 divisions, cot,sisting each of four regiments of foot, two of chasseurs, three of horse, and two of Cossacks, with one battery of horse artillery and one of heavy ord nanc:. The militia, which in the year 1807 amoun ted to 651,500 men, is now divided into 17 stations; and all irregular troops, such as Calmucks, Baskirer, &c. are not included in the above number. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 18. Some tumultuary scenes have taken place here, but they were soon appeased. On the frontiers of Illyria disturbances have been begun by some of the Pachas, who have occasion for complaints against a certain Foreign Charge d'Affaires. The Porte has declared that these occurrences were extremely unpleasant, and that it will certainly punish the guilty. The English Envoy, Mr. Adair, has obtained from his Government the permissiop to return, which he re quested, and will soon depart. Mr. Canning, (nephew of the late English Secretary •of State) will remain here as Charge . d'Affaires. Four ships, with provisions, have arrived in our harbour, which has given great satisfaction to the peo ple, as we have been much in want of a supply for some time. We are sorry to say, however, that 50 merchant ships have returned from Odessa, without having been pet mitted to make any purchases. VIENNA, APRIL 18. _ _ In consideration of the 'large sums of money which are yearly sent out of this country for coffee, our Government has adopted the resolution that it is not to remain any longer an article of trade, but that it shall be taken under the immediate management and superintendance of Government, in the same manner as tobacco. The importation of sugar remains unprohibited in the Austrian dominions, and the reason is because it constitutes a necessary ingredient of several medical preparations. NAPLES, APRIL G. On the 26th of last month the English made ano ther attempt to destroy the town of Reggio in Cala bria by fire, but were prevented by the batteries erected on the coast from carrying that plan into effect. The excellent shelter which Reggio affords to the nume , rous privateers that distress the English trade, is the' cause of the manifold projects of destruction which the British have formed against that place. lOLZANO, APRIL so. Our Easter Lair turns out uncommonly well, and is numerously frequented. it may now be considered as finally decided that the , Circle of the Adige is to be armored to the King 4thn of Italy ; this city is therefore to share the same fatty. MILAN, APRIL 15. • 'Cardinal Oppizeni has given in his resignation of the Archbishopric of Bologne to the Pope, who still lives in Savoza is a state of close retirement. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

Cons. for acc. 70fi This morning a mail arrived from Gottenburgh, and has brought the pleasing intelligence of the safe arrival in the Bakid of the English squadron under command of Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ. The accounts from Germany by this conveyance are to the 6th inst. Since our last a Mail arrived frcm Cadiz, with ad vices to the Ist instant. Our letters from that city inform us that the enemy's advanced parties are close to the walls of the Dock. yard, and that one battery of 40 pieces of cannon now bears upon the city. In some of their batteries the French have furna ces for heating shot, which oblige our ships to keep at some distance. On the 18th ult. during a cannonade, between one of these batteries, and our bombs and gun boats, thOTENIERAIRE P S gunboat was blown up by a red hot ball, which entered her magazine. By this fatal shot, Lieutenant CROPLEY and 14 seamen were killed, and . a Midshipman and several men were wounded.—Nothing of importance had occurred since the evacuation of fort Matagorda. Sir C. COTTON arrived in the Bay on - the 28th ult. immediately shif ted his flag to the ST. JOSEPH, and was to proceed to the Mediterranean on the Ist instant. JOSEPH BONAPARTE is said to have reached the' French army on the 29th. They had not received any reinforcement before Cadiz up to that day.— MORTJEWS corps still remained in Estremadura. In the mean time the allied troops were busily employed in throwing up batteries at Puntales ; a covert way was making from Cadiz to Puntales, and from Pun tales to the Island on the right of the high road, in order to secure the communication. We have also, since our last, received accounts from Lisbon to the 2d inst. but they are not of much importance. A very considerable detachment of the French attempted to force the important position at Albuquerque, towards the end of last month. They had succeeded so far as to compel thi Spanish corps that occupied it to retreat ; but hearing of the ap• proach of a division of our army, under the command of Generals HILL and SLADE, they retired with pre cipitation upon Merida. The head-quarters of the British continued at Viseu on the 27th ultimo. Paris Papers to the 6th came to hand yesterday, containing various official reports of the actions that took place in various parts of Spain during the pre ceding six weeks. They are, of course, represented as having invariably terminated in favour of the French. The most serious of these was between that part of RomANA's army under the command of Ge neral BALLASTEROS, and the French corps that was posted on the left of the Guadiana to cover Seville on that side. The Spaniards were the assailants on the first day, and the battle was a drawn one. —The enemy boast of having had the superiority on the next ; but admit, that on account of the difficult nature of the country, they could derive no great ad- . . vantage from the victory. We knew from other ac counts, that the French could not maintain their posi tion, but were forced to fall back upon Seville. A Dutch Paper of the Gth states, that King Louts set out from Amsterdam on the morning of the 4th, to meet the EMPEROR, who had arrived on the fron tiers of Holland. By letters from Cephalonia of the ith March, we learn, that in that and the neighbouring islands every thing remained quiet at that date. The Garrison at Malta was healthy and in high spirits on the 31st of March. By letters from Malta it appears, that an insurrection had taken place in Minorca, occasioned by some indiscreet restrictions on commerce, Which led to a disposition in the malcon tents to supersede the authority of Spain, and place the island under the protection of Great Britain. — After the destruction of the Custom-house, and , of some private property of its Supet intendant, order was re-established. During the commotion, a depu tation was sent to Lord CoLLzxcw•oon, to request him to assist in accomplishing the purposes of . the disaffected. His Lordship observed ? that he was not authorised to interpose, but that he would commu nicate to his Governmeat the transactions that had occurred, and the favourable disposition which had ' been manifested towards this country. We are in formed, that in pursuance of his Lordship's recom mendation to preservc.tranquillity, the British officers exerted themselves so successfully, that the tumult was soon suppressed. Through the same channel we have the satisfaction to learn, that Mr. ADA tn, the British Minister to the SUblime Porte, had received the most positive assu rances of the GRAND SFAGNIOR'S determination to maintain inviolate the treaty of alliance with Great Britain; and, if requisite, to support that Power with ill his forces. We have again heard from our valuable and at tentive correspondent at Cadiz, his letter is datr:d - th: Ist Instant.-- 4, taptainKLzast, of the Scotch B i. gade, who commanded the fort lately des!royed, h as got great credit by his conduct ; and MAjor LEFE.. RAE'S 105% is mourned throughout the army." .Our Correspondent expresses a conviction of the British being able to hold out against any force the French can bring against them, if she Spaniard: only be true.

Besides praying for a to perform on their own account, as we stated the Petitioners request permission to build a Theatre. if the present holders of the Drury lane Patent proceed in due time with the re-erection of that or if a third Theatre should be thought necessary. They pledge themselves to build a Theatre upon the principle of that established in GARRICK'S time seeing and hearing were principally and materially attended to. ----- COVENT 3ARDBlL—Saturday night, Shakespeare's highly finished play of King John was acted theatre. The character of the infatuated was sustained by Mr. KEMBLZ with that skill which belongs to himself, and perhaps . other actor in existence. The agonized feelings a guilty mind, in addition to the effects of poison vouring the vital energies of the frame which it, were never more forcibly pourtrayed ; nor impression be more lasting than that which t scale of the wretched monarch was calculateil - to' Mrs. SIDDONS shone, forth in Lady Con:tames • her trtnscendant excellence.
