workmen during the opening of the trenches, which,' ' during the space of two nights, have been advanced ; 600 wises, without any hindrance. The moment II a m writing, we are within pistol-shot of the fort of Trocadero. The enemy attempted a sortie in debark ing three or four hundred men, who approached our w orks; but they were vigorously attacked with the bayonet, and obliged to re-embark. During the combat the batteries made a continual fire, and which still continues, but does not do us any harm. The sting froid of the Prince is admirable: he went down all the lines under the fire of the enemy, and visited all the forts and batteries carried by our brave troops. We are now at the third day of the fifth given by the FrinCe. There is in Cadiz a great disunion among the troops of the line and the militia : the latter re ceive three react per day, and more rations, while the former receive very little.

The troops of the second division of the first corps' d the army took possession of Corunna on the 21st, in tht. morning. General Bout eke announces that he found in that place a numerous artillery, a great cuantity of ammunition, and provisions of all kinds. General Si, vel la, the Governor, and Campillo, with the Pastor, are missing from the garrison. MADRID, AUGUST 21. Amongst the Generals who have remained at Se ville, we observe Espeleta, son of the Count of that name, Viceroy of Navarre, who was one of the truest servants of th-t King. PUYCERDA, AUGUST so.

"PARIS, AUGUST 19. u There is no news here of which you will not be informed by the French Papers ; for if concealment is attempted on the part of the Ministerial Press, there is the Pilots and the Constitutionnei always ready to tear away tlsa veil. " The;campaign in the Peninsula was compelled to yield in interest to the fke of St. Louis on Monday, when all Paris flocked to the gardens of the Thud 'tries and the Champ Elysies. Among the amuse ments these were sham fights. As two rival na tions on these occasions must be called into play, the two nations were of course the French and the Spaniards ; and equally, as a matter or course, the latter were beaten, for which many of the Paris politicians who are averse to the war, sneered not a little, and thought the joke rather premature, as they say the business in Spain is not quite finished yet, and that the Duke d'Angouleme and the troops of the Faith may have more work on their hands than they are aware of. The thermometer of Reaumur, for some days has been as high as 28, at times, in the 411ade.--A good deal of busieless is now doing at the Bouise, but here they contrive to keep the bulls and Dears in better order than in London. A party of mounted gens d'armes is stationed in the place, and the sight of a fierce looking trooper, with his cocked hat, sabre, and pistols, has a wonderful effect. What would John Bull say, if a party of the Life Guards was stationed in the Stock Exchange, or the Royal Exchange of London ? " The funds are falling,without any apparent cause, as there does not appear to be any particular news calculated to affect them at present. " Extract tif a letter from Milan, August 1S: The Emperor of Austria is expected here from Vienna in the month of October next, and will pus the winter here.

" Hambuigh Papers to the 26th, and Dutch Papers to the 30th ult. reached us this morning. The fol lowing are extracts: with purity and elegance. The advice which he' gives to the Elector is confined to conjuring his High; cress to behave better for the future to his augus Consort (sister to the King of Prussia), to tecal the Hereditary Prince from Marburg, where the writer says he is kept in exile, to avoid always appearing in public with the Countess of Reichenbach, and lastly, to convoke the ancient States General of Hesse, and to concert with them the establishment of a Constitu- tion which may secure the rights of the people, and preserve them from arbitrary proceedingse ARNHEIM, AUGUST 44. Baron Strogonoff, late Russian Ambassador at Con- stantinople, arrived here, on board a yacht from Frankfort, the day before yesterday, and sailed again yesterday morning for Amsterdam. FRANKFORT, AUGUST es. -We learn from Cassel, that the author of. the ano nymous letter which has made so much noise, and which has produced proclamations from the Magis trates of the city, and numerous researches of the police, still remains undiscovered. Some passages of the letter have been lithographed and distributed, and several persons, whose hand-writings appeased, to resemble that employed in the letter, have 'been *nested. One of these was the subaltern officer named Eichenburg, who has been before mentioned. But his innocence, as well as that of other persons accused, has been proved, and they will doubtless he immediately set at liberty. No one ventures to speak of this letter at Cassel, for the most vague allusions suffice to cause the speaker to be summoned to the police-office, or even attested. But several persons who bate had an opportunity of reading the where letter, in the office of the high police at Cassel, whole it is deposited, have related bete at Frankfori that the writer, to judge by the style, must be a man abuse the common class, or have received a good education. At least, he writes his native language ST. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST 12. It is reported that Lieutenant-General Tatischeir will be appointed Minister of War; he has held the, pork : ft-01e of that department, ad interim, since the Spling. The Persian Ambassador, Mirza Mahommed Sat. lit, is still here. Seven hundred and four foreign vessels had arrived at Cronstadt up to yesterday, and SOS have sailed. A committee is appointed to examine the gold mines on the chain of the Ural Mountains. STOCKHOLM, AUGUST is. Among other important matters to be discussed by the Diet, is the new Tariff. The committee of taxa tion has proposed to permit the importation of all foreign goods, on payment of an adequate duty ; and to confine the importation of goods hitherto pro hibited, to those towns in which the amount of the duties received is 14,000 dollars. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Waterford, dated August 30, which, compared with the one from Cowes, appears very extraordinary :—" This day put back the brig George the Fourth, of this place, Captain Tomos, bound to Quebec, baring been run foul of on the 13th inst. by a ship belonging to London, 700 tons burthen, laden with timber; the brig had her foremast, main-topmast, and bowsprit carried away, and the ship lost two of her masts."— This letter does not mention any lives having been lost; and we trililt may prove correct. _ _ _ The Guist:low , 50 guns, Captain B.

In allusion to the bottle said to be sent adrift by the Officers in that Expedition, and picked up by the Fame merchant-vessel, the Taunton Courier observes. " Accounts of the above nature are quite ludicrous, and are mere experiments oa public credulity. That the bottle, as stated, has been picked up may have been the fact, but that it was sent adrift for the putpoae of a hoax, there cannot,be a moment's doubt. For instance, the time at which it is represented to have been thrown overbo ard (the 7th of January) is rather unluckily selected, being precisely that at which the ships must have been frozen up, and in winter quarters, and when the ocean is so completely filled up with mountainous ice, chat to distinguish sea from land is scarcely possible, and to obtain a drop of water at such a time, except by melting the snow, is altogether impos sible.—Another circumstance which renders the fabrication self evident, is, that in every bottle thrown overboard by Captain Paaar, the statements are printed in different languages, re questing the person who shall pick them up, of whatever nation, to forward them to the Secretary of the Admiralty, which pa pers simply contain a statement of the latitude and longitude of the ships, signed by the Commander of the Expedition.'

MARGATE, AUGUST 28.—1 n consequence of the unsettled state of the weather, for many weeks past, the number of visitors has been much less here than last year, notwithstanding the many attractions and amusements of this delightful summer residence.] Among the•latter may be mentioned, those of the, Theatrical Company, including Miss C&ARA FISHER; Messrs. KNIGHT, WEER, &c. the Evening Conceits, and Promenades at the Assembly Rooms; the Rane lagh, Public breakfasts and dances at St. Peter's, &c. A Jiberal collection was made at the Church bn Sunday last, for the benefit of the Margate Sea-bathing In firmary, after an eloquent discotirse, by the Rev. Dr.l Russet.. On Tuesday last we experienced a tremen dous storm of thunder and rain, which surpassed anything of the kind ever remembered here, and created much alarm both here and at Ramsgate. It lasted about two hours, during which the sky was involved in awful darkness ; the rain fell in torrents, and unluckily the tide being at the same time full in, the cellars of many houses in the lower parts of the town, both at Margate and Ramsgate, were several feet under water. Fortunately no accident happened at either place from the lightning. Count Betteru, who has so frequently annoyed Prince ESTERHAZY, and whose appeal to the KING ill] Council we stated to have been heard on Saturday;, has been informed that his claim to be exempted fromel the operation of the Alien Act has been disallowed ; and he has been ordered to be sent off to - the Cone tinent, in the custody of a King's Messenger.

There was again a very large arrival of Wheat, Brans, and Flour last week ; not many Oats, and but moderate quantities of other descriptions of Corn. This morning the freak supplies at market are only moderate. The weather is now very fine, au& our millers,in consequence, make very few purchases of Wheat ; so that the prices of old Wheat hardly equal last Monday's cur rency, and new samples come so damp that they are sold at Sts. pee quarter less than this day se'nnight.
