BENNET said, that there had been put into his hand, a very short time back, the Courivr newspaper of that evening, which, with its usual inticriia!ily, pretended to give an account of the unpleasant transaction which took place in the House lot night. As there were two holidays to intervene be fore the House would again meet, he took the preaeot, as the earliest opportunity, of bringing the subject under its notice, as n statement in its nature calculated to revive those unpleasant feelinP to which the transaction of last night had given rise, but which, be was glad to say, had amicably subsided. Ile Low felt no hesitation in saying that he knew of nothing so bad, so false, or scandalous, or which shewed more the malignity of the writer's heart, than the article in question. That it was false, must bare been known to the writer, as the report of the debate in bis own Paper was directly the reverse of, and contrary to, his statement. ----Here the matter dropped. The other Orders of the day were now disposed of, pod at a Quieter to Ore oTicek the House adjourned till Monday. __ EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 16'23. STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have received, at a late hour this forenoon, the Ulowing Letter by Express from Bayonne, bringing an account of the position of the French Army up to Wednesday last : ~ BAYONNE, APRIL 14. " The head-quarters are still at Tolosa. It is the ,entral point of the operations of the army, and the -esiitance they actually experience at St. Sebastian's, and that which they expect at Pamp.eluna (the two strongest places on the road to Madrid), will pro bably cause the Prince to remain some time at Tolosa. " There departed this morning from Bayonne a qtutitity of battering artillery and mortars, with can careers, it is supposed for Tolosa. " The French army, it-l's said, entered Bilboa yes terday morning. This is not to be wondered at, the place being without defence. It is asserted that be fore the arrival of the French troops, a Deputation horn Bilboa was sent to head-quarters, praying that he would not permit the place to be occupied by the troops of the Faith. " The gartiion of St. Sebastian's is said to be com posed of 3300 men ; namely, 800 of the Regiment Valency, 800 of that of Alexander, 800 of the Re: girsent of Spain ; the remainder Artillery." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, FROM OUR OWN COREESPONDENT. PARIS, TIIIMSDAY, Aran 17, 1823. " The Moniteur of this day publishes no telegra phic Dispatch, the reason of which is said, the actual receipt of unpleasant intelligence. I have only time le give you the mere heads of what has reached me. Le advance of the Army is said to be at present copped, owing to the dread the French Generals have ONINA, who is said to be in much greater force, and far more active in his operations than wet anticipated. His movements are not at all known, mod a great dread csists,that as the French army advances SPim, he will advance by another road into France. " The fears of the Generals are augmented on this Vint, by the annihilation or dispersion of the Army of the Faith, it is supposed, into separate bands. It was principally on this force that the French Generals relied to watch and controul the move ments of MLNA, and by its dispersion they are placed between two sets of Guerillas, as these bands, it is thought, who were mostly originally :rob bers, will have no objection to plunder their good friends the ultra guard du corps of the Duke of ANGOULENIE, and other well-dressed French soldiers. OUVRARD, the Banker, who had the contract for sup% plying the•Arnty, has &en it up. I have no tiope to say.rnore.", , The Freneh Papers of Wednesday and Thursday morning bring no intelligence of importance. The Itioni!eur officially announces a telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, stating that Pampeluna is closely in vested ; that the head-quarters of the French army, which on the 14th were at Villa Mane:l,. would, on the 17th, be at Vittoria; and the two corps of the army would be the same day on the Ebro. One of the French Journals states, on the authority of a let ter from Tolosa, that " St. Sebastian may hold out some time, as 2000 of the worst subjects in Spain art shut up there." Bayoi:ne Papers to the 11th inst. reacheJ us this forenoon. The following are extracts : BAYONNE, APRIL 10. The Mayor of St. JeAn de Luz has complained to the competent Authority of the shameful behaviour of the three regiments which were there the day be fore yesterday. The Colonels selected at their own pleasure the houses which should receive them, and there were even a hundred in a house. We expect two battalions to-day. About 40 Spanish prisoners have been brought into the city; they were led all round, to skew them to everybody. It is said they were taken by Zabala, who delivered them up to the French. They are for the most part children, who 3 , -e in a deplorable condi tion. The troops complain loudly of the bad qua lity of the provisions given them, especially the bread. The distribution is very irregular. One regiment re mained thirty-six hours in the line without receiving anything. Sickness in consequence increases, and there are 900 patients in the two hospitals, though the wind is north. O'Donnell, when he slim himself up in St. Sebas tian, took with him all the cattle that he met with in the way. Some persons of our town, who Were at St. Sebastian eight days before the commencement of hostilities, assert that there are fifty pieces of cannon upon the ramparts of the town and the citadel. The garrison consists, independently of the artillery from Valencia, of the regiments of Imperial Alexander, commanded by O'Donnell ; of Valencay, commanded by Saurea ; a battalion of the Regiment of Espana, and one of the militias of Salamanca. The Governor of the town is Don Pablo de Lapegna, Brigadier of Cavalry. Provisions have been put in requisition throughout the neighbourhood. It is provisioned for six months. Bilboa has been completely evacuated by the truops, who have retired in the direction of the Ebro. They write from St. Jean de Pied de Port, that the Prince of Ilohenlohe has entered Spain by the points of Roncesvalles and Baygori. Ile proceeds, it is said, towards Pampeluha. It is Colonel Cha. palengarras who commands that town. Intelligence from Bahia has reached town up to February 15th. An attack was made on the 13th on the force defending Bahia, but repulsed with con siderable loss on the part of the assailants—at least, so the General sassailed says in his official dispatch, dated February.lsth. By the muster-rolls transmitted under the date of the 14th of February, it appears that the force existing in Bahia consisted of—troops of the line, 4222 ; militia, 3851 ; total, 8( Ti On the 14th of December, the following was the force :—troops of the line, 47.01 ; militia, 4374. Difference.—ln the troops of the line in the course of two months, 79 ; in the militia, during the same time, 525. The great diminution of the militia is owing to desertions.— The sick of the troops of the line, in the hospitals and quarters amount to 759. The Morning Chronicle says, 4 , We have received information from a quarter on which we can rely, that from 80 to 100,000 Russians are marching to the aid of the French Ultras, and that they will arrive by way of Dantzic." We have little doubt that when the French Ultras are in want of Russian aid they will have it; but we have great doubts whe ther from 80 to 100,000 men will be able to march from the Wolga to the Rhine, even by way of Dantzic," without a single soul knowing anything of their movements, except that acute chronicler we have just quoted. Our Stock Exchange Reporter writes to us, in great simplicity of spirit, that " the extraordinary statement in a Morning Paper about a host of Russians being on their march for the Rhine, has not had the smallest effect on the Funds this morning." How could it ? We recommend to the Chronicle, when, it has another hundred thousand champions to send to the aid of the French Ultras, by the way of Dantzic, to provide shipping for them. A Cabinet Council was held this day at two o'clock, which continued sitting when our Paper went to press. Mr. Ews, the King'i messenger, arrived in town yesterday, with dispatches from Vienna. A Mail from the Leewa7d Islands has arrived with letters from St. Thomas's to the 21st ultimo, The persuasion being then general that hostilities be tween France and Spain had actually commenced, the movements of the French naval force in the West Indies were anxiously watched. It was firmly believed in the Islands that England was to side with Spain. Several French merchantmen had taken the alarm, and fled from Porto Rico to take shelter in the neu tral ports of St. Thomas's. It was also stated that a rich Spanish ship from Havannah to Europe had been taken by a French man•of.war..No letters have been received by this packet either from Trinidad Or Tobago, and it is feared, therefore, that the mail-boat which should bring them to:St.Thomas!s has been lost. into NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

So great has been the demand for seamen at Liverpool, that their wages have advanced to £4. and £4. 10s. per mbnth, in vessels to British America. _ _ _ Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Philadel phia, dated March 20: "The risk •of coming into our port would be much lessened if captains of vessels would shew a signal for a pilot as soon oi they see the lig,hl house. The Chamber of Commerce and ir su ranee offices have established repeating signals at the Light house, upon seeing which the pilots could always meet the ves sels at the light -house ; whereas at present they frequently only shew their signal when abreast of the light-house, and then must lie to, always with delay, and sometimes with d..nger. Our pilots are generally cruising, but when they are not, this caution is of importance. " Our Surveyor of the Port has received his orders to con tract for a light-house at• Cape May."

Saturday last, Sir WILLIAM CONOREVE exhibited to Lord Mixt.vlLLs and other distinguished persons, at Gillingisam, near Chatham, the effects of some new-invented rockets, called Anchor Rockets. A small anchor is affixed to the head of one of the largest spe cies of rockets, so that it can be thrown across a river, or to a considerable distance, with a rope attached to it, and the anchor fites itself firmly In the ground. The experiments succeeded perfectly. Monday night, on Chatham Lines, the use of the parachute rockets was put to the test, by an attack having been ordered on the ramparts, and the rockets fired, to shew the garrison the assailing party. The experiment gave great satisfaction, and has fully esta blished the. utility of this ingenious inventioa. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN KEETTTIG,7III23: " FRIDAY, APRIL Is.

DEATH or THE COUNTESS or COURTOWN.—This illustrious Lady expired at Couttown-ffouse, Dublin, on Monday morning last, in the 54th .year of her age. Her Ladyship died in consequence of a bilious affection, which terminated in inflammation. The Countess was the daughter of 'the Duke of recctrucri, by Moor, the present Duchess, and co-heiress of the late Duke of MONTAGUE. Coss t. Mum F.xmostox.— re/cadences, April i i . A most de. plorable event bas caused consternation in our city, and the vil lage of Auxin. About half-past six o'clock on Wednesday last, a loud rumbling noise was beard in the coal-pits, near our gate de Lisle. This noise was cansed by inflammable gas, called feu grison, which blazed forth with a loud explosion. We hurried to the place where the accident happened, and every precaution was taken to relieve the unfortunate persons who were in the pit. Persons provided with bottles, some, filled with mercury, others with volatile alkali, descended into this plaCe of death. There was no cessation of the most indefatigable exer tion, and on Thursday evening they drew out almo,t all the . wretched victims of this terrible catastrophe. The dead bodies of 19 or 20 workmen lay extended on the earth, and it was im possible to present to the view a spectacle more melancholy.— Not one of them could be recognized, their 'hubs, hearing no resemblance to their natural form ;their handa and feet were dsitd up and contracted. A small number, however, has been drawn nut horribly mutilated. When the grison appears, in general it does not cause more than blisters; and burns on.the bodies of those touched by it; but on this occasion, the unfortunate persons have had their limbs also broken and shattered in the emit drtacifut manner, without being dashed against say hard body, and rrehap• merely from the shod of the explosion. Fortunately op that day there were none hut the workmen in the mine. 'They at tributed the accident to the following circumstance :—A youth. between ten and twelve years old, named Carette ' being premed to comply with one of nature's calls, placed his hat, in which was • lighted candle, on the ground, the gas which generally hovers on the surface of the place where it issues, took fire from the candle, and caused the explosion. This youth was brought out alive, but with his legs and arms broken; he lived about eight hours, and gave the details we have mentioned. &cum/T.—Thursday evening, a poor woman, 74 years of age, lodging in Kingsgate-street, Holborn,being left by herself, her clothes caught fire, and she was so dreadfully burnt that she expired yesterday morning. EXECUTION OP MARY MIKINNON.—This unhappy person was executed at Edinburgh on Wednesday last,. for the murder of William Howat, on the Sth of February of the present year. Her execution excited great interest, above 15,030 persons being assembled around the spot where she suffered. She was dressed iu mourning, w ith a white frill and weepers, wore a large shawl, and her face was partly concealed with a black veil. During the prayer which was offered up after she had mounted the scaffold, she fainted, but soon recovered and resumed her apparent trail , quillity. She was greatly agitated, however, when the rope was placed about her neck. After a few moments spent in prayer, the drop fell, she gas* two or three convulsive heaves, and appeared to die al most instantly. The whole of the multitude behaved with great decorum, and evinced no great degree of sympathy with the unfortunate woman. It was ex.: pected she would address the spectators, but she only declared her innocence of the crime for which ,he suffered, and begged that, after her death, her hout.e might be searched, when alarge,pointed, flat skewer I would be found. with which the deed was done. Sae admitted she saw the blow given, but pointed to ano ther person as having done the deed. Since her trial she has reflected very severely on the evicicnce given by some of'the witnesses; but before thefataltnoment at rived she was brought by the unwearied exertions of the Minister who attended her, to a more Christran frame of mind, and died in peace with all mankind. —She was about 32 years of age, stout, and' rather handsome, and has been known to the police of Edin burgh for abou, fil teen years as the mistiest de hom e of ill-fame. She was constantly impressed with a hope, to the last moment, that the sentence would not be carried into execution ; and declared at the scaf fold, that if she had known it would have come to this . , she coulti.have employed £12,000 in attempting her redemption—ignorant of the fact that money has no weight in the scale of justice. The Gentleman who was described in the evidence on the trial as Mrs. M , Kinnon's father, has been induced by that circuits stance,-to state that the whole is erroneous, that his. daughter, of the same name, died ; but the unhappy . . woman persisted in her assertion, even in his• pre sence, and was supported in what she said by Cap- , tain 13nowN, the late superintendent of Police. Ir stated, that her parentage is not what it het beta said to be, and that the whole matter will soup laid before the Public in an official manner. The goys was given to the Professor of Anatomy foi slitseetmiu. -1 1
