They contain the following partictilars re specting military affairs in the Peninsula : " Since the middle of last month(October) several regiments of cavalry and some columns of infantry have passed the great military road from Bourdeaux Bayonne, and from thence to Spain. Quarters have been prepared at Bayonne for a numerous corps 40 arrive about the 15th November.. "There can be no doubt but that the war in Spain will be concluded this winter. We have had many account* that his Majesty the Emperor, and the Prince , Neufchatel, would take the command of the'armies , litave in person. A part . of the equipage of his Royal ktglmess arrived on the 29d October, and has by this itme reached Burgos, where it is to await him. The battalions of guards in Old Castile, at Vit toria, at Burgos, and along the rot to Madrid,,have received marchihg orders. A part of these is destin_ fot the reinforcement *of the Army of Portugal k tp free that liibgdorn frpm the English yoke. “ On the 234 October the King of Spain left Mi. :id ,for.

Among other Extracts from Fres& Papers, given in a preceding column, is an article of some importance from Saxony ; implying no less than a new territorial division of that kingdom, and it would seem a political regeneration also. —lt is to be carved out into departments after the French fashion ; a new Judicial Order established, the Code of NAFOLZON adopted, and another system of Cri• minal Jurisprudence, dictated, we presume, by the French Government, set up for the esjeyinad of the in habitants. This is not the first time - that hints to this effect have been thrown out in the French papers ; and we have, frail - experience, so much faith in them, as to believe that Saxony will speedily undergo some important change. What polical conformation it is to assume is in the womb or time ;—but it will proba bly be such as to afford an effectual barrier against any future interference of Russia in the concerns of he West of Europe. Letters from Bourdeaux mention, that the expedi tion fitting out in the Scheldt is to be provided with 10,000 troops, for the purpose of menacing our coasts. The schooner Experiment, Captain DORY, arrived at New-York on the 7th October, from Batavia, which she left at the latter end of July. The Captain reports, that " two days before he sailed, the Commander of the Spice Islands (Fitz) was shot, by order of the Go vernor-General, for having given up those islands to the English. A number of engineers had just arrived at Batavia from the Isle of France, for the purpose of constructing fortifications. :The seat of Government had been removed from Batavia to Buttenzos, a plea sant place, about 50 miles from Batavia, where the Governor-General had erected a splendid palace. An English squadron passed up the Chinese Seas about the 25th of June." Gazettes and Proclamations published at Cartha. &ena contain the history of the revolution which litely‘ook place in the province of which that city is capitil, and the oudines of the form of Government which the revolutionists intended to adopt. The majority of opinions was in favour of a federal con stitution, somewhat in the nature of that which is es tablished in the United States. The United Provinces or by whatever other name they intend to designate themselves) it was proposed should be represented by Deputies, chosen upon a scale of one Deputy for every 50,000, or rather two for every 80,000 inhabi tants; the number of which in Grenada alone was computed at 2,200,000. It was also proposed that each province should retain its judicial and legislative powers, but that the Supreme Authority should be vested in the Representative Body, whose sittings should be holden at Medellin, as being the town most central and convenient for the different States of the Federative Government. The appointment of a Re gency, and other details of this projected constitution, were to be regulated by future events. In the various documents which were published on this subject we find frequent reference to the opinions of Marquis de la ROMANA, and the sentiments expressed by Marquis WELLESLEY in his official correspondence with the Secretary of the Supreme Junta, during his late mis sion to Spain. The Members of the late Government are detained at Carthagena as hostages for the safety of the several persons imprisoned at Quito during the dreidful con , vulsions in that city, the leading particulars of which we have already stated. The subsequent article re ccived through the same channel, is sent to us as the substance of a Carthagena Gazette Extraordinary, dated as late as the 18th of September : " Intelligence was received here last night from Santa FE giving the melancholy account of some most disastrous Internal commetions. On the Stly-ef September, a number of persons, aided by a military force of about 300 men, rose upon the new Govern. ment there. It was supposed that these individuals had been attached to the new state of things, but their acquiescence proved only dissimulation. They entered Santa FE sword in hand, and the consequence was the sacrifice of several thousand lives. While she conflict prevailed a body of disciplined troops „from Mexico, sent by the Viceroy, entered the city St another gate, to the number of fire hundred, and . bore down all opposition. " The battle is said to have lasted seven hoors, during which about 3000 fell. Liberty was, thank Heaves' ! victorious, and the enemy was subdued. — On the 9th all was quiet again, and most ot the mis creants who escaped the sword of vengeance were buried in dungeons. The new Government still main tains its authority, and it is believed that this will he the last attempt to suppress it. Several members of the Junta were wounded, and one of them killed in the contest." Our confidence in this representation is diMinished by the receipt of letters from Caraccas of the Ist ot October, and from Vera Cruz of the Bth, which are silent respecting this important transaction. From the former, by the way of North America, we have an official paper, of much commercial interest, explaining the terms under which a free correspondence is to be established between the British settlements and the territories of the Revolutionary Government, and winch we have inserted, Some American Papers received on Saturday state, that the Convention of West Florida was divided as 10 the measures they should pursue, three of the Members being decidealy in favour of acceding to the 'Altic.rican Confederation, to which the Ptestdent him ;Oil was not supposed to he averse,. while.the others bent upon maintaining, by nitzhaSit recently pioditinitd independence. , 404 Lord CHARLES Siint having gone out of waiting on Saturday. Sir -Groacz OSBORN was the Groom of the Bedchamber. The following is a copy of the Bulletins shewn yesterday and to-day : " WINDSOR CASTLE, DECEMBER 9. " His MAJESTY has had several hours sleep, and appears better than he was any part of yesterday." (Signed as before.) 44 WINDSOR CASTLE, DECEMBER 10. His MAJESTY is quite as well as he was yesterday, though he has passed the night with little sleep." (Signed as before.) It is reported, that should His MAJESTY not be sufficiently recovered to prorogue the Parliament by Commission on Thursday, there will be another ad journment on that day to Monday next, previous to which there will be another examination of His Ma jesty's Physicians before the Privy Council: The private accounts from Windsor state, that the relapse experienced by his MAJESTY in the middle of last week, was caused by an over exertion in walk ing for several hours on Wednesday, in the grounds of the Castle ; besides which his MAJarrr is said to have bad a very severe attack of choke. BRITISH WINTER OrERA•—The licence granted by the late LORD CHAMBERLAIN to Colonel GREVILLS, for this purpose, is, at last, likely to be directed to its true object. Colonel GREvILLE has agreed to admit Mr.Etttsrow as a principal in the undertaking ; and, at the close of the present season, Colonel GREVILLI will withdraw from the arrangement at the Lyceum, by which the use of the licence has hitherto been sus pended. Mr. Etus TON is to have the exclusive di rection of the concern ; and it is proposed to raise an establishment which shall be worthy of the highest patronage. Colonel Gagvitte has reserved to-him self such advantages as may probably compensate him for the trouble and expence to which he has been put, by the prosecution of the objects which led to the grant of the licence. Thursday, a quarrel took place on board the SAN YSIDRO prison-ship, at Plymouth, between two French prisoners, when one of them stabbed the other, so as to cause his instant death. Saturday, after the first piece at the Surrey Theatre was finished, a young gentleman in the second tier of boxes, accidentally precipitated himself into the Pit, and, wonderful to say, came off without a broken bone; he was taken senseless into an adjoining tavern, and blooded, which so fat recovered him as to enable him to walk without assistance to the coach 'which carried him home. The Court of King's Bench did -not sit on Satyr, day, Lord ELLENROROUGH having, on Friday, finished the business at Westminster, and the Sittings in the' City net commencing till to-morrow. On Saturday, at the Palace Court, Mr. AGAR moved, that a person of the name of Dunn be lib&. rated from an arrest of £45, at the suit of Levy, a Jew, on filing common bail, on the ground that he was an Officer in actual service. In which the Court acquiesced. A member of the St. James's Corps of Volunteers was summoned to Bow-street Office on Thursday, for fines for not attending two field days of the corps. It appeared in evidence that he had attended his duty regularly for upwards of seven years, but there being no medical certificate of the illness which was the cause of his non-attendance for two days, the Magis trate, Mr. READ, was compelled to levy the fines, amounting to 15s. At the Exchequer si tings a question arose whether a book kept by an excise officer, considered as of a public nature, should be admitted as evidence with out producing the officer to prove the entries. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that at the trial of Lord MELVILLE, public documents were admitted by all the Judges as evidence, and that it was the practice at the Exchequer Sittings to receive them. Mr.Scaft- LET on the other hand, contended, that this was en tirely contrary to the generally received rules of evi dence. The LORD CHIEF BARON thought this an im portant question, and worthy of being brought before the Court, but for the present admitted the evidence. Monday last, at the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh, Walter Redpath, grocer, of Foul Path. head, was tried for the murder of Andrew M'Kechniek, of the same place. It appeared in evidence, that thqa deceased occupied premises adjoining those of the prisoner, in which he had made some alterations withr out his consent ; that the deceased threw up a trench %Mich corn/lady Stopped the path to the prisoner't stable ; that a quarrel ensued, in which the deceased struck the prisoner a violent blow with a stick; that the prisoner then seized a loaded musket, which, whe- ' ther by accident or design was not apparent, went off, and occasioned his immediate death. The Jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict of Culpa ble Homicide, and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life.
