' •• • LISI3CVN, JANUARY 24. .~..: . A corps between 3 and 4000 French hive enter ed the city of Leon. An inconsiderable Spanish force which was there retreated on their approach, and took post is Astorga. The French have made no further movement in that direction. General Blake arrived at Tortola on the 21st, on his way to Seville. Badajos, under date of the 19th, we learn,that the passes of the Sierra Morena are fortifying under the personal inspection of two Deputies from the Cen tral Junta. Two other Deputies, Count Casachases, and the Marquis D'Almeida, left Badajos on the 11 th, to forward the supplies and equipment of the army of Estremadura. The whole of the inhabitants of the province of Jaen are- in arms, and every exer tion is making to strengthen the fortress of Jaen with additional works and artillery. SEVILLE, JANUARY 81 D. F. Rovera, in a letter of the 19th ult. to the l'ClJrquis del Portago, informs him, that with the body of expatliated peasants and the Somatenes, under his orders, he went in pursuit, on the 18th, of several columns of a French force of 3000 rren, marching from Junqueira to Figueras, that had taken a route along the hills to the right of the high way. He com pelled them to return to the road with the loss of 200 • killed and wounded. According to letters of the 213 t, from the same Officer and I). Ramon Torra, they continued to annoy the French along the highway from France to Figue ras, to such an extent, that the enemy had not then ventured to forward the convoy formerly alluded to. On the 20th there was a brisk affair at Biure, which terminated in our Somatenes pursuing the French under the walls of Figueras, with the loss of 2fso kil.

ISH The Secretary to the American Embassy has been permitted to return from Paris by way of Calais. He arrived yesterday at Dover with dispatches for Mr. PINKNEY. The intelligence by the cartel is, that an . embargo has been laid in the French ports along shore for some days. A squadron is said to be fitting out at Dunkirk. By Monitem and other• Paris Journals to the 4th, we learn that the Legislative Assembly was opened on the .Ist inst. and that ,the two French frigates which sailed to the West Indies in company with the two that have been destroyed at Guadaloupe, have got safe back to Brest, having taken the following vessels :—The St. Joseph: Nancy, Louisa, Cecilia, Phccni z, the Ariel, of 18 guns ; the Chance, the Bear, Juno, and Hydra. The Jurco frigate had ninety men killed and wounded, in her action with the Clarinda and Re-nominee. • We have this morning received , Lisbon Papers to the 28th January. They were brought by the Prin.' cess Elizabeth Packet, which arrived at Falmouth on Saturday, in twelve days from Lisbon. The accounts from Spain describe the patriotic armies as every where in motion, and as well equipped for an active campaign. Several reports, in circulation at Lisbon when the Elizabeth came away, give us reason to believe that the French are resolved to attempt the passes of the Sierra Morena, notwithstanding their demonstrations to the. contrary. They have been re pulsed, according to the Spaniards, in one or two attacks upon the defiles of these mouatains. General BERESFORD had arrived at Oporto, on his military tour, and was received with great cordiality. The Spanish Papers are filled with loyal proclama tions from the Governments of South America, with a view to prove that the Colonies are still firmly at tached to FERDINAND. When the Elizabeth came away, the British army which was in and about Abrantes, was said to bo healthy, and about to ad vance again to the frontier. - Letters brought to Falmonth by the Chichester Packet, from St. Thomas's, state, that the British sea and land forccs (the latter consisting of 11,000 troops) commenced 'their 'Operations 'against Guada: loupe on the 20th December.,--We must add, how ever, that we have great doubts of the accuracy of this intelligence ; for it is now nine days since the Chichester arrived• at Falmouth, and this fact, if cor rect, ought to have been known in London week ago. Friday morning Sir HENRY HALPORD, Drs. Dtm- DAS and•BAYLEY, arrived at the Princess AUELIA'S house, in St. Alban's•street, Windsor, where they held consultation with Dr. POPE and others, on the state of her Royal Highness's disorder. It is not correct, as stated on Saturday, on the au thority of a letter received from Portsmouth, at LLOYD'S, that Mr. JACKSON had returned to this coun try from America. We formerly stated that the Lords of the Admi ralty had resolved to discontinue the services of the Sea Feocibles, and that orders to disembody those in Ireland had been sent off to Dublin. On Saturday the Sea Fencibles on the Yarmouth Station, command ed by Captain. SURRIDGE, were also disbanded. Saturday Sir JOIIN WENTWORTH, Bart. Governor of King's College and Bishop of Nova Scotia, arrived at Portsmouth, in the William store ship, from Ha lifax. A Proclamation, containing amnesty and pardon to all the Officers engaged in the late unhappy affair in the Madras Settlement, with the exception of four, we understand, wogs issued by Lord MIN ro on the Ist of October. The persons excepted are to be sent home for the purpose of being brought to trial, should the Government think proper. The 4th and 28th Regiments, now embarked at Portsmouth, will proceed to Gibraltar, under convoy of the lANteicA, Captain LYSAGHT, when the wind will permit. The detachments to join our army in Portugal, with the trade for Portugal, in charge of the Comus, Captain M. SMITH, remain wind-bound. The Queen's Bays, the 13th Light Dragoons, and two other regiments of Light Cavalry, are expected to march into Portsmouth in the course of the present month, to embark for Portugal. Saturday morning, a detachment of cavalry march ed from Maidstone depot, for Portsmouth, destined for the East Indies, to recruit his Majesty's regiments serving there. Sunday se'nnight, pursuant to an order from Go vernment for disembodying the Medway Sea Fen cibles, they were called together on that account, and the order carried into execution. The Mercator transport, CLARKSON, arrived at Ply mouth on Saturday se'nnight from Jamaica, With 234 French prisoners on board, part of those taken at St. Domingo Ten men and a child died on the passage of a fever, and several more are now ill on board.

FEBRUARY It is now ascertained that the sister of the Emperor Alexander is the Princess who is to become the wife of the Emperor Napoleon. Caulin- court, a relation of the Ambassador of that name, at St. Petersburgh, has left Paris a few days arr for that capital, to escort the Russian Princess to this city, where the nuptial ceremonies are to be celebrated.-- Other important marriages are also expected to take place on the same occasion. Under these circumst-nces it is not .thought that :4apoleon will depart for Spain till the latter end of March, or perhaps the middle of April, and that he will then have only to congratulate his armies on their ceasing from all their labours ; for the troops in that country are expected to strike a decisive blow long before that time arrives. It is announced, to their great satisfaction, that no conscription will be wanted this year ' • from which we infer that the Government considers the troops already under arms as sufficiently numerous for every purpose for which they may be 'required. AMSTERDAM, FEBIVCARY 5. The Chief Magistrates of Antwerp have received intelligence that a marriage has been agreed upon he- tween the Emperor Napoleon and the sister of the Emperor of Russia.

At the Observatory Mr. Triesnecker noticed the following particulars of this phenomenon :—The duration of the shock was about a minute.
