ViTRACT OF A WITTER PROM AN OFFICER IN LORD WNL LIM:WON% ARMY, DATED JANUARY 28. " We are in cantonments, as the rest of the army has been for several weeks back. • The head-qnarters of this division are at Villa Franque, which lies be tween the Nive and the Adour, about a mile and a half from Bayonne. Our advance is within a mile and a half of the last-mentioned city, which is of considerable extent, and built with much regularity; close so it is the conaux of the Nive and the Adour,' both of which are broad, and so deep at this semen as to be completely unfordable by troops. The es e-' my's right rests on Bayonne, which is strongly gar risoned, and tolerably fortified : around it they have constructed formidable field-works for its protection.: Opposite another part of their line, towards the left, , s St. Jean de Pied du- Port, in which is a garrison el SO() men, well provisioned, and provided with means 3f sustaining an attack. Numbers of conscripts are .aid to arrive daily to reinforce their army : we hear them frequently firing at targets, and can distinctly gee then: at drill. " Our line is extended from the sea towards the Pau. It is intersected in its centre by the Nive, 4, }licit a little below tYstaritz and Villa Francine makes luddea turn in its- course towards the Adour. The ilivisions more immediately separated by the river are the sixth and light, of svhich the lauer is stationed on ;•:)e left bank. On our right are the '2d and 3d divi- Morillo's Spaniards, and a body of cavalry : tl ie st of the arm/ occupy the left of ou; line. The i. .opar443 army of support is in our rear. • 4 e Wellington a few days ago reconnoitred the eteTty's tasition throughout its extent, whence it was coujeatir4 " c hat some important movement was on the paha 'of execftion. The effects of the weather upon the state of the..rca,ls, seems, however,- to ren der this aneture 'math less likely to be immediately verified., Prom the beighti Whe i re our advance now is, the town or ISayonne might ttbraueOunahlY be de strayed, and rockets atter the plan of ,C,oligreve are stated to have ietnally arrived at head quauers for ekis purpose. The demolition of so many buildings, :lit: properties of V.v.: iatocent and unoifendiug bour- • geols, is certainly a measure greatly /,'9 be - a . Orecated. It is to lie hoped that the idea,of moral cququest, to. , wards whicit our•casiciliatory measures , hitherto h&ve been. disect e d , w ill n ot h e inconsideratelyabandoned,' if any other means ace adoptible by which the troops of the despot can be forced from this position. " Les Bas Pyrennees comprise a very uneven and uninviting track ot country -; the soil is,argillaceous. and at tins season the cross-roads are tittagtnires. The houses are.considerably superior to those of Navarre, but far from equal in accommodation to those of our own country.' Not one in a hundred has a pane of glass in the, windows; not one room in five hundred has a fitc,place. Toes= strilttnirttecnliarltiesiott will be ready to refer to the.tiore genial climate of the count! y ; but, in fact. it is infinitely colder here than in any part of Scotland . . that you have travelled, It is true, that from ti l l tricknitx•of the 's e a, the snow and ice we observe in the morning seldom retain their forMs during the day; btu' the extreme kirni dity-sot the air communicates an additional 'Chillness to the frame on a princjiale suffiiently . Some of the Chateaux are, however, built with as much t ast”, and are equally coMmodioui witik those in our own country. Honest Nap's cotintry resi dence, together with that of the gmpress Qum, is above a mile horn my quarters; but as they ate on the opposite side of the Nive, and close to the French advance, I have not ventured to take a neater sur vey of them. The people generally speak a dialect ' of Basque, which is, I understand, very different from that spoken in Navarre ; the better sort talk French. They appear extremely quiet and inoffensive, and far from displeased with the English, whom they make pay manfully for what they sell them. The men dress not unlike the old-fashioned Scots, and wear the old flat-shaped cherry bonnet. The women are clumsy and untidy, and among them cleanliness seems a very rase quality."

Her Ladyship, when she first received the intelligence, said it must be a mistake, as she knew no person of the name of WRIGHT, nor did she treat it seriously until Arch deacon Porrs called upon her, and vouched the cor rectness of the information, her name, family, &c. being accurately stated in the devise. The person and features of the deceased were then minutely , described to her, and after some time her" Ladyship recollected a person whose face answered the descrip tion of a stranger, whom she considered a foreigner, who was a constant visitor at the Opera, and as con stantly annoyed her there by staring at her so stead fastly, that he seldom took his eyes off her. To sa tisfy her curiosity, she went to the lodgings of the de ceased, in Pimlico, before the corpse WAS closed up in the coffin, and on seing the face, she recognized him to be the person who 4.. d to annoy h r at the Opera, but could not recollect having n him any where else or known any fart out him.— The deceased was a constant attend t St. Mar tin's church, but had no rognlar sittin or pew - occasionally gave the pew-opener a shilling, at Christmas he always give her a guinea for a CI masbox.--in his vvill he left a legacy of to 4rchdeacon porn, a s a distinguished mark approbati.in of a sermon be heard him preach Martin's church.

This causegame on for, healing, upon Bill, answer, and depositions. under the following most extraordi nary circuinstances ? - :The direct object of the Bill was to set aside a cer tain deed of Lease and Release, executed in August, 1794, near twenty years, by which the parties Daubs , ally covenanted and agreed to abide by, ratify,. and confirm, to one cf . Abe defendants, Jonathan l'ats;ng. ham, the estates in Monmouthshire, which were the subject of a Trial at Common Law by a Specie Jury, on the title of the plaintiff, iti the action ofeject. merit, then tried at Shrewsbury on that occasion, 10 which the principal fact in issue was the legitimacy of the claimant, as the lawrirl issue of Mary Lloyd, sister of Mr. Gwynne Lloyd, who possessed the estates in tai', and in 1791. devised the same successively in tail to his sisters, Mory and Elizabeth. The Litter died without issue, and Mary, the survivor, devised to Jo nathan Passiugham, who brought bis ejectment ; and having taken down the Hon. Tao as Easusit, now Lord EItiKINN, by a special retainer, obtained a vet.- di s ct in affirmance of his legitimacy, with so much eclat, that, in gratitude, he made a present of a ser vice of plate to that celebrated Advocate, who was observed this day in the Hall, at the opening of this cause, and politely invited to ke his seat on the Bench with the Lutes CkiAN OR, during the .iar guments. . The ground of impeachment o he deed of release was, that the plaintiffs being the. legitimate heirs, were defrautleAaat the estates. substquently sold for a sum of about /00.000, by means of forged registers of the birth of Jonathan Passingham, and of the mar riage of his parents, and that such forgeries were com mitted, or used cu the trial, by or with the privity of the defendant Jonathan, or his brother Robert, who acted as agent for hint on the trial. Tlse case excited uncommon interest, and at three o'clock the furthee hearing was adjourned. CO:MT Of KING'S BENCH, FEB. 214 t MAYOR V. GOLDSMID• This was an action against the widow of the late Mr. Goldsmid, for damaging' the furniture of the house called Brunswick Pivillion, which she had hired of the plaintiff, ready furnished, at £5OO for one year. The statement on the part of the plaintiff was, that the carpet in the best drawing -room} was spoil i ecl, by having oil spilled upon it ; that the card tables were greased, the gilding of the chairs rubbed .. . 4 14.4. off, and a variety of other articles damaged bey , * •:..;- . 4". lair wear and tear.

ASSIGNEES OF BELE& This was an issue from the Court of Chancery, to determine whether there had been usury or not in se veral transactions, upon which the plaihtiff sought to prove a debt to the amount of 420,000 against the estate of the Dankru pt. It appeared that Byles had been in possession of several contracts to supply the shipping on the West India station with rice and other articlei; and that he had also shipping contracts at yarmooth and Bris tol. The plaintiff afterwards entered into partnership with him, and made several large advances of money on account of those contracts, but that afterwards wishing to withdraw from the partnership, he agreed to take 5 per cent. interest for the money advanced, and also I per cent. on several of the victualling bills then due. It was contended on the patt of the de fendants, that this made the transaction usurious. The evidence of Byles went to prove that the plain t , tiff knew at t,he time that there had been no profit upon those contracts, but that they had been losing concerns ; and that, therefore, the additional I per cent. was given, in addition to the legal interest, tor the use of the money. The pl,tintiff's evidence, on the othet hand was, that he had no knowledge of, the state of the concerns, but believed from the representations of Byles that they were profitable contracts. He ; therefore, accep ted of the i me per cent. as a compensation for with drawing from what he considered a profitable con cern, but wl-,ich he thought Byles more competent to manage. The case then went to the Jury on the credit due to the conflicting testimony on both sides. The Jury found IG favour of Livie that the transaction was out ustrious.
