nd surely never armies were thus deserted. Even it Corunna, which has since proved itself capable of 2 vigorous defence, no sooner had the French made their first partial attack than it was abandoned to its fate by'General Quittocit and Sir ROBERT WILSON, the very men who, from their proclamations, one would have thought were ready to bury themselves under the'walls of the garrison rather than quit the last refuge of the Constitutional cause in Gallicia. Extract of a letter from Stockholm, dated A ugust 7. •The Diet,. it is supposed, to ill close in a fortnight a deal of business has been dune since it opened. It has made an addition to the revenue of the King and the Prince, and given 20001. a year (sterling) to the 'wife of the Prince, as pin-money. The on this have it that she is in that situation which will give an ad joy to that of her nuptials to the Swedish nation. The King and family have returned here from Rosenberg, and, after a short residence, will remove to Drottinholm, on which many repairs are now making. After spending a short time here, it is sup posed that the King, at least the Prince and Princess, will make a journey to Norway, in order that his Nor wegian subjects may have an opportunity of seeing their haute Queen. " All the noble families and strangers who had crowded to the capital, attracted by the marriage, have left it. The church, on which such costly orna ments, decorations, and improvements have been made, where it was celebrated, is in stern quo, fur the public view. " The venerable Count Engerstrom gave a grand dinneryesterday, at his chateau Belle Vue, at which all the Ambassadors, their Ladies, and the corps di. plomatique were present. This person is in his 74th year, and one of the moot learned men here; his library, containing 40,000 vols. is open to the Public every_Saturday. . _ _ 4• - Itae Wilson, Esq. who travelled through Egypt and Pale tine, had a long private audience with the King, to whom he was introduced by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, the British Minister. He shook hands 'ith these Gentlemen, and always pays the most ked attention to the English. " The heat has been very great in Sweden this year, ele thermometer of Fahrenheit being at 77. " A number of Swedish ships of war are building, and men regularly exercised in the gun-boats." Intelligence by Express was received yesterday from Madrid, of the 18th instant, by an eminent mer cantile house in the City, that the Duke of ANGoU- I me arrived at Port St. Mary% on the 16th, and that immediately on his arrival a flag of truce was sent into Cadiz, with propositions for a negotiation with the Cortes. The intelligence proceeds to state, that that Assembly declined to receive any such proposi. tons, unless the French Generalissimo was authorized to unite with them a proffer of the mediation of Ens- Lend between the negociating parties. No hint is Rive❑ whether the treaty was proposed with the• Cortes as the representative of the Spanish nation, or as a prelude to that " personal capitulation " lately defined by the Journal des Debuts. The intelligence must, therefore, be received with sons* degree of dis trust, but may be allowed, perhaps, to establish one important point at least—that the first offers of ne gociation have proceeded from the French General— a confe.sion, so far, of the difficulties of his situa tion.— Times. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last night a 'new Farce was produced, entitled Fish out of Water, and received with great applause. The chief merit of the piece consists in its situations, which are very comic. Charles Gayface (Mr. Vimitio) the son of a London Alderman, is in love with Ellen Courtly (Vliss Lova), the daughter of a Baronet, who is appointed Ambassador to Demark. The lovers are of course in de s p a i r a t their 'pproaching separa tion, but as Cupid never -deserts his votaries, espe cially in plays or novels, he suggests an expedient to the enamoured pair. Sir Charles Courtly is in want of a Secretary, and Charles resolves to apply for the situation. Sir Charles is also in want of a cook, and from this circumstance arises the humour of the scene. Samuel Savoury (Mr. LISTON), a professed cook, applies for the latter office, but through the mis take of the Ateward, who is authorised to make both engagements, he is invested with the more dignified post of Secretary. Shortly after, the young Gen tleman arrives, and rather than be separated from the mistress of his affections, he accepts the only vacant situation, which is that of cook. The two novices are soon brought into action, Charles is ordered to prepare some chocolate for breakfast, and Savoury to write a diplomatic dispatch. They are equally awkward and incompetent to the perform ance of their respective duties, but by changing parts for a moment the difficulty is overcome. Unhappily for poor Savoury, his letter is much approved of, ar.d the manner in which. he receives the Baronet's com pliments on the occasion, affords a high comic treat. But this state of things could not last long ; Savoury's ignorance is discovered by his bad spelling in another letter dictated by his master, and the young folks are married to the satisfaction of all parties, Mr. Lis- TON'S part is the most prominent, and his exertions were ctowned with the most decided success. His terror on proceeding to the fatal effort of penman ship, by which he is discovered, was truly ridiculous, and his agony on being attacked with a pain in the jaw, when.commanded to write a word of three syl lables, threw the whole House into a roar. Mr. YIN ING displayed a good deal 'of vivacity. Mr. Wm- Liams, as the Steward, acquitted himself with judg ment; and Miss Love, who had little else to do than sing a few charming airs, sang them in a style which .reflects credit on her talents. Upon the whole, we have seldom seen an Afterpiece more powerfully sup ported, or more agreeably written. The dialogue is easy and unpretending, unless the discharge of a few puns be considered an effort of ambition, and the characters, though not remarkable for novelty, are well contrasted. A Gentleman of the name of Lusti has been mentioned as the author, and the piece pro mises to become a great favourite. ENGLISH OPERA-HOOSE.—The Bee Hive was per formed at this Theatre last night, and MAtnEWs took the part of Mingle with the success which al ways crowns his exertions. His song of "-When a man weds" was twice repeated; and each time it presented variety and fresh matter of amusement. WRENCH was very spirited in Melton ; and Mr. W. CRAPSIAN makes a good stiff Rattan. Miss POVEY sung the pretty airs allotted to Emily with much cle verness. The excellence of Miss KELLY'S Cicely is well-known. The Farce was admirably acted. BRIGHTON, A UG. 25.—This place is rather dull at present. " Houses" and " mansions" are to be let in great num bers on both cliffs and in the leading streets, and scarcely a core; net to be seen. The weather, as in London, has been melan choly beyond example. KEw.—The Royal demesne at Kew is at present' the favourite resort of all thosefoshiontables who can only afford to be fashionable once a week, and its shades are peopled every Sunday with bevies of fair dames, and gentle swains in abund ance, from every part of the metropolis. Thither the Peter Pastorals of Portsoken and Candlewick repair, in punts, and funnies, and skiffs, and cutters, in MC horse shay, and on the tops of coaches to luxuriate among orange groves, and myrtle bowers, and all the exotic wonders of the botanic garden. The Dryads and Ilamadryads are driven from their haunts by the laughing nymphs of Whitechapel and Cranbourn-alley, and the Fauns are put out of countenance by the blue-coated beaux of Cheapside, who gaily agree to sink the shop on a Sunday by passing " one long summer's dayof indolence and mirth" in that "delicious nest." A new road, planned by his MAJESTY, will, it is said, immediately lle made from opposite the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park, in a direct line through, the garden of the late QUEEN'S Lodge, leaving the lower Lodge, adjoining the stables, on the left, and will come in a parallel line with the grand entrance into the Castle-yard. The kitchen and coffee-room of the Lodge will come down in its course. Two elegant Lodges are to be erected, one at the entrance into the Castle, and the other at the entrance of the garden on the road leading into Windsor. This new road is to be erected in order to avoid going through the town and ascending the steep of the Castle-hill. LIVERPOOL, Auo. 24.—Mr. CANNING arrived last night at Seaforth, on a visit to Mr. JOHN GLADSTONE; he was to have accompanied Mr. HUSKISSON and the Mayor and Corporation to St. Nicholas Church this' morniag, but that a slight indisposition has pre vented the Right Hon. Secretary from doing su. The Proprietors of the St. George and Emerald Isle steam packets entertain a large party of Gentlemen on board the latter vessel to-morrow, to meet Mr. CAN NING and Mr. HUSKISSON, when itlis intended to make a short excursion in this elegant packet. CHtLrENHAM, AUGUST 23.—The town was never known to be fuller than it is at present. The Duke of GLOUCESTER, we are happy to say, finds great benefit from the waters. Mr. WATT, an amateur from Bath, performed Shylock here on Thursday last, to a very indifferent House. Monday, GEORGE BANK ES, Esq. Barrister at Law (late M.P. for Code Castle), was unanimously elected to the ltecordership of the liurough and Town of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, vice Gluts Tau , PLEMAN, Esq. resigned.

SHEERNESS, AUGUST 26.—A large copper-bottomed ship, laden with hemp and tallow, from Petersburgh, proceeded up, accom panied by two smacks, having been on shore on the Mouse Sand. CHATHAM, AUGUST 26.—The THAMES frigate was launched on Thursday last, and went off the slip very beautifully, in the view of a great number of spectators. The CAIIIIIIIIIIGE was at tempted to be put out of dock both on Friday and Saturday, but owing to bad tides it was not accomplished. THE ARMY. We are requested to state that there is no truth in the ac count of Gymnastic Exercises said to have taken place at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, on Thursday last. The Earl of Uxaniocx, Major of the Ist Regiment cl Life Guards, has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army. 'The Bth Regiment of Hussars left Ipswich on Monday, for Norwich, in consequence of there not being room enough for the Regiment in the Barracks. Two Troops of the 15th are about to replace them. - The Frindsbury transport, Lieutenant BIRDWOOD Agent, is to embark at Cowes 17 Officers and 126 men; belonging to the Bth, 18th. 27th, 48th, 32d, 56th, 45d, 51st, 64th, 75th, 80th, 85th, and 90th Regiments, to join their respective Corps at Gibraltar, Malta, and tke lonian Islandi. The 621 (or Wiltshire) Rt.—intent of Foot having been relieved at Il t alifax by the 5:11 (or dxfordshirc) Light Infantry, is or dered to embark on board the Cato asd Vibelia transports for England. A detachment belonging to the 55th (or Westmorland) Regi ment of Foot ha: been ordered to embark on board the Boro- Ono, transport for the Cape of Loud Hope. Detachments and Invalid:, belonging to the Regiments sta tioned in the Leeward iiilauds, have arrived at Portsmouth, and are ordered to Chatham. It appears that orders have beer, or are abcut to be, sent to reduce two Regiments of Infantry .at Madras, and also part of the Forces in Bombay; while in Ber.gal two additional Regi ments of Infantry are to be raised. The irregular forces in that l'residency are also to be reduced. That well-disciplined Regiment, the North Devon Yeomanry Cavalry, completed their eight days' permanent duty on Thurs day, in the presence of three or four thousand spectators, who expressed their admiration at the astonishing precision of their various evolutions. After the field-day the Officers were joined by the Gentry of the neighbourhood, and partook of an elegant zed sumptuous entertainment provided fur them in the mar quees on the ground, by Colonel Lord Rows., and Lieutenants Colonel Formers, of Buckland House. The Noble Colonel's liberal conduct and frank condescending manners, on this as on every other occasion, have endeared him to the whole regiment. ORDI NA TIOA: Sunday the Bishop of Exeter held a public Ordination in the tehe , !ral Church of that city, at which Thomas \Votton Bar low, B.A. of Wadham College, Oxford; James Hamilton and John Chichester, RA. of Magdalene College, Oxford; Mat thew Mundy, M.A. of Exeter College, Oxford; John INlkhelt, RA. of Magdalene Hall, Oxford ; John Radford, A. 13. of St. Alban Hall, Oxford; William Johnson, B.A. of All Souls' Co , — Oxford; and Richard Colston Phelips, B.A. of Tritti:y College, Oxford, were admitted into the Holy Order of Dra ct.ns; and the Rev.

This aeronaut took his departure from the Champ de Mars on Sunday the 17th inst. at a quarter before nine in the evening. The air was calm, and the co loured lamps (which formed a crown) below the bal loon, permitted the spectators to follow it with their eyes for a long time. Arrived in the upper regions, M. Margat experienced an intense cold, the gas in dilating left an humidity which soon converted into ice, and which gave the aeronaut much trouble in managing the valve. He succeeded, however, in overcoming this obstacle, and proceeded V 1 ithont acci dent through a very thick fog to the Forest of Villers- Coterets in the commune of Fleury, 25 leagues from Paris. At midnight he effected his descent, and found himself perched upon a tree, which served as a base for his wandering edifice. There M. Margat passed the night, notwithstanding the rain; which fell in abundance. The astonishment may be conceived of the Sieur Debary, Keeper to the Duke of Orleans, when, at four in the morning, on going his round, he perceived at the top of a tree our aerial voyager, and his immense baggage. M. Margat praises the conduct of this keeper, from whom he received every kind of aid ; he was also very well received by the Mayor of Fleury, by the Cure, and by all the inha bitants of the village, who flocked to see him. The accountsof the harvest in all directions, on the Continent, are favourable. Rye and oats are very abundant. Thursday Charles Warner, convicted at the last Kent Assizes, was executed on Pennenden Heath. He confessed his guilt, and was very penitent. It is mentioned in a letter, dated Stockholm, the Ist inst. that it is the intention of his MAJESTY to ce lebrate, with becoming splendour, the Hymeneal Jubilee, so well known upon the Continent, called the " Silver Marriage," i. e. the 25th Anniversary of the wedding day. The " Golden Marriage" is the 50th Anniveisary of the same. Monday afternoon a lamentable accident occurred at CI ossburn Bleachfield, in the Parish of East Kil patrick. A young woman was about to fill a large boiler with goods. Wishing to have them thrown as far over as possible, she set her foot on the top of the boiler ; and, in throwing in the second piece, she un fortunately lost her balance, and fell fairly into the boiling liquid. The proprietor, who chanced to he on the spot, flew ,to her rescue; and dashing in his arms nearly up to the elbows, drew her out. Medi cal aid was instantly procured ; but all attempts to save her proved unavailing. She lived in great agony till eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, when she died. We have heard that the Corporation of Southamp ton, desirous of paying some compliment to his MA JESTY in the event of his entering the limits of that ancient port, had a handsome gold medal struck to commemorate the event. His MAJESTY'S visit, however, hiving been put off, it was much regretted that the work should be consigned to oblivion, more especially as it has been considered by the best judges to be one of the most beautiful specimens of the art hitherto executed in this country. The Corporation have therefore sent it, with an explanatory Address, to his MAJESTY, enclosed to the Secretary of State, wh• will take the first opportunity of laying it be fore his MAJESTY. A parcel lately arrived at the Star Inn, Perth, bear ing this singular direction:—" To Perth, by the hi land coach, from thence, 2s. 2d. to Killin, 2s. 2d. to Killin in the carrier. To Hugh Macgillavray, care of Mr. Duncan Mackay, Ardchyle, by Killin, Perthshire; and if this does notfindhim out, am sure the Deel winna." THE LOVERS CHECKED.— Saturday last, consider able sensation was produced in the north-east corner of the County of Durham, by the elopement of a young Lady, scarcely out of her teens, with a Gen tleman on the verge of 50. She had been on a visit in the neighbourhood of Sunderland, and, being ex pected home that evening, the coach was met on the road by the father, who was told that she had quitted it about half an hour before, on pretence of indispe sition, and was observed to step into a postchaise, ! which immediately drove off in the direction of New- Icastle. The mother of the Lady, suspecting who the Gentleman was, lost no time in pursuing, and, on her ! arrival in Newcastle, was informed that the Gentle man she suspected was then in bed at the house of his brother. Insisting on an interview, he acknOw hedged her suspicions to be well founded, but refused to say whither the Lady had retired. The morning, however, brought this secret to light, when she was discovered to be at the Three Indian Kings, where she had slept the preceding night. It is said that, on their arrival at Newcastle, it was found that no fund had been provided for the prosecution of their jour ney to Gretna ; the Gentleman having depended upon the Lady, and the Lady, of course, upon the Gentle man, for supplying the needful. This being an ob stacle not to be surmounted, the parties separated for the night, and the Lady being discovered, as- above I stated, next morning, was compelled, with great :And manifold reluctance, to accompany her mother home. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, AUGUST 27. The arrivals this week (of Wheat 1800 quarters. of Barley' WO quarters, and Oats 1900 quarters) are •cry small, and the weather continuing in a very unsettled state for harvest, occa sions more money to be asked for fine dry Wheat this morning but there is not much doing in the trade, as the weather appears; fine to-day. In all other Grain no alteration from blianday's prices. There are 3300 sacks of Flour aimed, and dais article continues to sell heavily. PORTING INTELLIGENCE. --- BRIDGEWATER RACES, On Tuesday and, Wednesday last, were not so fully attended as heretofore. The weather was rather unfavourable, and the sport very indifferent on the first day, but much better on the second; and a very spirited subscription was Altered for the ensuitit.y ar. Both the Members for the &rough were present ; and Faye been very zealous in furthering some public imprnvemehts.which it is said, will shortly take place in the town and port of Bridgewater. ARCHERY. The Woodmen of the Forest of Arden held their Grand An nual Wardmote during the last week. On Monday, the 18th inst. the Master Forester's Gold Medal was won by the Rev. T. C. Adams, and the Seni"r Verderer's Silver Medal by the Rev. C. Pi'mer: the Rev. T. C. Adams being Lieutenant of the Target.

The fortunate Ladies in the Lottery were Lady Emily Field ing and Miss Crawford ; the former having drawn the Silver Arrow, and the latter the Gold Bugle. The Earl of Aylesford, as winner of the Bugle, was decorated with a beautiful Silver Medal, presented to the Woodmen of Arden, by Sir Francis Shuckburgh, Bart. design, a Bugle, in re lief; motto, Win one and wear me; on the reverse, l'almons qui meruit ferat. And Sir Francis Shuckburgh, Bart. wore a very elegant Silver Shield,, presented in like manner by the Bei. T. C.

H. W. Sitwell ; and a similar one to the best shot at the Target, on Friday, which was won by the Rev. C. Palmer. The Balls on \Vednesday and Friday evenings, in the Forest- Hall, were very brilliantly attended; there being assembled much of the beauty and fashion of this and the adjoining counties.— Among a long list of Fishionalaks present, were Earls Aylesford and Denbigh, Lord Newport, Hon. Major Finch, Sir Robert Wilmot, Bart. Sir Francis Shuckburgh, Bar Sir Gray Skipwith, B ar t. Si r E. E. Wilmot, Ban. Sir C. Co*- vine, D. S. Dugdale, F.sq. M.P. C. 51ills, Esq. M.P. George Lucy, Esq.

The Rowing Match, for a Purse of Sovereigns, given on Monday, in several prizes, by the friends of Mr. 'furred, of the Swan Tavern, Battersea, afforded much pleasure and amusement to a numerous assemblage of company. The principal prize, a Purse of 10 Sovereigns, was gained in fine style by Gregory, of Pepper-alley. FEMALE JUVENILE PEDESTRIAN. Monday an immense concourse of people assembled at the Green Dragon Gardens, Stepney, to wittiest the attempt of a child, eight years of age, to perform a task of thirty miles within eight hours, the circumference of the Gardens being exactly the fifth of a mile. At twelve o'clock it is calculated that above six hundred-persons were on the ground, having paid one shilling each for admission. At half-past twelve the child made her ap pearance, accompanied by her father, and commenced her ar duous task, which she performed eight minutes within the al lotted time, without any apparent fatigue. A collection was sub sequently made for the child by the persons in the Gardens, and the subscription was most liberal. FIGHT IN SCOTLAND. Monday se'nnight, a pitched battle took place at the head of Burntstield Links, near Edinburgh, which afforded to the Fancy an unrivalled display of their favourite science. The combatants are butchers, known to the Sporting World by the names of Fiery Burns and Sloth Brown, both noted pugilists—the former having studied in the school of George Cooper, and the other being a pupil of Black Robertson. At five o cloct the heroes entered the ring. Brown was accompanied by Billy Johnson as his second, and John Bull as his bottle-holder; Cowrecd and Ned Roddikins of in these capacities for Burns. After doffing their lo o ogery, Brown and Burns proceeded to work. Round 1. Much scientific sparring, hut no hits. The men were evidently cautions of each other, and consumed ten minutes in the exchange of innocent civilities. 2. A .ever; tally. Brown planted a heavy blow on Burns' nob, and split it—claret flowing profusely.—Betting 2 to I in favour of Brown. 3. Blown dealt out in great abundance., both right and left ; but equality restored by a dreadful blow received by Brown upon his chatter-box, which floored him.—Bettiog even. 4. Dreadful fighting. Both closed and came dawn, Burns uppermost, who made an attempt with his knees to dibble his - adversary's clay. _ _ . 5. Both came nobly up to the scratch. After some skirmishing, Burns was made to hold his jaw, by a blow well directed against that part of his anatomy. Gave out more claret. 6. Both ..ante up in good style; but the courage of Burns re ceived another severe check from a blow upon the bread-basket, which obliged him to discharge its contents. In the other roundi, down till the tenth, there was much hard and scientific fighting, with no advantage to either side. 10. Wonderfully hard rallying, and many severe nobbers ex changed. Burns brought down by a tremendous blow, which shut up one of his sky-lights. i. Terminated one of the severest and best fought battles ever witnessed north of the Tweed. Both men came up man fully in good time; but were unable to give play. An :armistice, consequently, was agreed upon fur one month. The fight occupied no less than fifty minutes, and was attended by a prodigious number of amateurs, more than we supposed the whole city contained ; a deal of Muni was lost and won in betting upon the incidents ; and two Knights of the Cleaver, lied and The Laird, an said to have pocketed largely. SPARRING. The meeting at the Fives' Court yesterday wassbut thinly at tended, but there were sonic good ruflianing bouts' It was for the benefit of Bitton, a man used up in service, and now an ac complished teacher of the fistic art. Amongst the bi.st settings to were the following : Reid and Western.—The former aspiring young man, who has signalized himself in combat, met a forniidable opponent in Western, a rustic, picked up from grass in the westtru nursery, whose talent was obscured until A% arti found nut his genius at Bath Races. Reid had the best of the set-to, bi,t his opponent would not be denied. Spencer and Robert Whitehead (designated " white-headed Bobby.")—These men made a very zuffianing turn-up,in imita tion of earnest. Spencer 'hewed n.o,t science, but Bobby would be with him in an ungenteel rush at. the head. It was a bout of courage and science. 13elasco, jun. and Jones, the sailor boy, had nothing else than a good fight—plenty of science, abundance of pinch% with strength to carry all their points into execution. The set-to produced sonic claret, and Hooters also. Jemmy Lennox, the veteran, anti Latham, also made a holy set-to. Ward challenged to fight any man in England, ba: r•ng;Spr:ng, and his money was ready. Joshua Hudson was not there to reply, but he had a friend or two there ready at the bustle, and there was no doubt about a fight, as both men want a job. COR A WAL L.
