COURT OF INQUIRY AT CHELSEA. EIGHTH DAY. ~Gontnrrndfrowt the STAR of Saturday.) Captain PREVALL, of the Engineers, was next ex gine& He stated that Lisbon was better defended g t h e strong positions of its grounds than by its yaks; it was open on almost every side. There are new works constructed by the French, but they felt directed against the town, or for the protection tit h e s hips in the river. He had not, however, had orne to examine them. The fort of St. Julien was gong a gainst a regular siege, for which much time vi a have been required ; but a breach might, in his opinion, have been elected in about a week, and the carried by storm ; for which service there would t v ce e b ee n wanting 12 pieces of heavy artillery, two mortar s, and two howitzers. The fort of Cascaes grAS less defensible by land. Of Peniche he had no accurate knowledge, but considered it very 'strong hoth by land and sea. Sir ARTHUR WattEstrir observed, that it was his w i s h to put some questions to Captain Prevail, re. cect ing mine conversation he had with French Offi cers, but as other O ffi cers had not arrived, he did not con ceive the present the proper time. Lord Motna—lt is best to postpone any examina tion which could, even by implication, affect Sir H w y Burrard. Captain Prevail then withdrew. Sir Haw DALRYMPLE, in answer to a question n Earl Moira, stated, that had there been any h e avy artillery or travelling carriages landed at Mon o, they could not be brought forward to the army. Zearl Moro to next put the following questions to Sir Arthur Wellesley : Q. H a d there been artillery with travelling car fors, could they have been brought forward with the army from Mondego ?—A. No. Q, Was the difficulty from the want of horses, or the badness of the roads ?—A. I Will extend my an swer: the roads throughout Portugal, are very bad and wry narrow. I should think that it would have been wry difficult to bring forward heavy artillery, or tra „lug triages, even by the employment of a large num b e r of horses to draw them ; but the Court will be aware, from my narrative, and from the answers I have given to questions before put to me, that - there were horses with the army only in sufficient numbers to draw the field train. Lieutenant-Colonel Tortnrss was examined by Sir Arthur Wellesley, relative to his delivering to Sir Hew Dalrymple the copy of the Memorandum of In structions, written by Sir Arthur Wellesley, and deli vered to General Murray, for his conduct in con cluding the Conveaticn. It would be unnecessary to go into the evidence, as Sir Hew Dalrymple admitted the receipt of it on the last sitting. Sit Haw DALRYMPLE • asked Lieutenant-Colonel 'Trion if he recollected when Brigadier-General Charles Stewart joined the army ?—He answered, on the evening of the 23d or 24th of August. The PRESIDENT stated, that the Court was ad journed until the arrival of Sir Harry Burrard, who was expected daily. nay hourly ' • but that when he did arrive, it would be necessary that he should have some time to prepare his narrative.—The Court ad journed at a quarter past twelve o'clock. DIIILLING.—en Friday evening information was received at the Office, at Bow-street, that Sir John Lowther Johnson, and Robert Read, Esq. were go. ing to fight a duel. In consequence of which, Ad kiss and Anthony were dispatched with a warrant to apprehend them. On Saturday morning the officers took Sir John into custody, in Wigmore-street, and Mr. Itead, at the British Hotel, and brought them before Mr. GRAHAM, when it appeared that Mr. Read had sent a challenge to Sir John, on Thursday, by MajerW. requesting Sir John to fix the time and place for fighting. The cause of the challenge was not in vestigated. Mr. Lowten, of the Temple, Sir John's solicitor, attended, with Admiral Nugent, and Mr. Ogilvie, is his bail, who were admitted in 2501. each, and Sir John, in 5001. to keep the peace for twelve months, and to appear at the next Middlesex Sessions after that time, to answer what shall be objected against him. Mr. Read remained in custody for want of bail. The rope.manufactory of Mr. SMITII, at Charleton, ear Woolwich, together with the extensive stock, au on Friday night totally consumed by fire. A . fire broke out a b out t h ree o ' c l oc k on Friday morning s at the house of Mr. SronKs, at Highgate. Mr. STORES was at Bath, and the house left in care of tyro servants, a man and woman. The house was destroyed, but by the exertions of the inhabitants, by the engines, the adjoining houses were saved. The following singular occurrence took place, it is id, on Friday night, on board a coasting vessel in king Creek : --Th e M aster was as l eep w i t h hi s ife, in his cabin ; when he dreamt that his wife had lien overboard, and was on the point of drowning ;1 homed on deck, and plunged into the river, as he . ed,to rescue"her. The s h oc k o f th e co ld wa t er w oke him, and being a good swimmer, he sustained self until his cries alarmed the people on board, !Wl* was hoisted in. His wife continued asleep on ' 3 relllrri. it the change of the Moon, and during an invi. 4 le eclipse of the Sun on Friday morning se'nnight, an vraerdinary high tide, accompanied by a strong hull -west wind, inundated the shores of the Southern ": , st at various places, from Folkstone to the Isle of 4';818. Foists -rote, Nov.go—A most ettranrdi nary high dde, mons *4 with strong s out h- westerly wind, occurred at this place ! litt !leten o'clock on Friday morning, which did considerable u chld It forced away the platform of the Custom's watch- I 'mes ant in its progress successively destroyed the walls and , acts of PAT el, Mr. SHELDON'S and Mr. Bs Isi N 's, adjoining h ales, the latter of which had been but newly erected. The a lai of the sea carried off a prodigious quantity of beach ana l Is loss to leave the foundations of these houses quite naked. dellal ation executed to the westward, and completely tore the quay opposite Mr. Butcher's shop at the corner of .tvin re g the rucCeeding night, the wind having shifted to the e 'uled a greater swell of the sea,which seemed to threaten u etian in its moat direful forms. The houses to the west for a while were defended by a high fence, which having ta t he tempestuo us e l ements, the outhouses were in an "Vetely annihilated. Th e watehhouse, and the extensive 0 P ef Mr. Butcher, wen. fortunately irili "pea fotir, else no of the former would have remained. The Pier was not e; the beach Satorday morning it p resente d rat h er a grotesque , night having been thrown com pl ete ly over It the WSfl'.iNDfg KINGSTON, (JAMAICA) SEPT. 17. By the schooner Isabella, which arrived on Mon day from St. Jag° de Cuba, we learn, that the Go vernor of that place, who it seems greatly favoured the French people settled there, has been removed by the Governor in Chief at the Havannah, the Marquis de Someruelos, who has appointed another in his niom. The French, alarmed at this measure, **pos tulated against the removal of their favourite, and plainly evinced a determination to resist the newly appointed Governor, when he should arrive to assume the functions of his office. He had, however, ar rived within eight miles of St. Jago, where, with a considerable body of troops, he had taken up his quarters; resolved not to enter the town until the French had left it, and had transmitted orders to that place, directing that all the French there should im mediately embark and quit the island. These orders were not obeyed, and Spanish forces, we understand, were marching in all directions for the purpose of co operating with the new Governor, in enforcing prompt obedience to the laws of the island. The French, whose numbers are represented to be not less than 12,000 in St. Jago, were determined to resist, and the greatest proportion of them were well armed. A severe conflict, it was expected, would soon take place. The reciprocal good understandi n g b etween t h e Spanish and British Colonies, is &hewn by the fol; lowing Proclamation : By his Excellency Brigadier-General MAc x Jos, Commandant of the Islands of St. Thomas's, St. John's, and their depen dencies, &c. His Excellency the Captain General of Porto Rico, Don To. ribeo de Mentes, having officially acquainted me that he has re ceived from his Government the strongest assurances of good will and friendship towards the English Nation ; and at the same time having transmitted a Proclamation which he had caused to be published at Porto Rico, announcing an armistice to exist between the Spanish and English natiors, until the ratification of a perma nent Peace; and further notifying to me, that a Declaration of War on tke part of Spain has been made against France, and that all the ports within hie Government, were open to the admission of British ships and British goods : I have therefore thought it expedient and proper to order and direct, that every encourage. ment and facility be henceforth granted to all Spaniardstrading to tLis island; and in the meanwhile, that all Spanish subjects within this Government be considered as the friends and allies of Great Britain.

Colonel Sandels succeeded it► completely muting the Russians, and forced them to sue for an armistice to bury their dead, which was granted for twenty-four hours. Prince Dalgorucki was killed. Mr. Thornton, our late Ambassador at Stockholm, arrived this evening on his way to England. The Crocodile frigate arrived on Sunday last with the Subsidy. STOCKHOLM, NOVEMBER 10. According to the last accounts received from the enemy's army, in the last action between the Swedish and Danish gun-boats, Lieutenant Kesniff, and an other Officer, whose name we have not been able to learn, and 70 men, were killed. RICA, OCTOBER 27. Yesterday the 26th instant, his Imperial Russian Majesty arrived here from Erfurth, on his way to Petersburgh. STOCKHOLM, NOVEMBER s. His Royal Majesty arrived yesterday at half past eight o'clock in the morning, from Olund, at the royal country seat of New Huga. According to a report received from General Kier vicks, Commander in Chief of the Finnish army, no tice was given on the 19th of last month, by the Commanding General of the Russian Army, that the armistice would be at end on the 27th of the said month, and that hostilities would be recommenced that day at one o'clock in the afternoon. The follow ing is the notice which Colonel Sandels, Chief of Bri gade, received on this subject from the Russian Ge neral Tut schkoff : •" Brigadier Genetal, in pursuance of the orders received from the commanding General, Count Buzhoevden, I hereby inform you, that the armistice concluded between the Russian and Nor thern Swedish army, is to be at an end on the 27th inst. and that hostilities will be recommenced that day at one o'clock in the af ternoon. I have the honour to be, with great respect, &e. Ste. (Signed) " TUTSCII covr, Lieut. General. " Head-quarters, Sawojanur, the 7th (19th) October, 1808." FROM A DUTCH PAPER. FRANCKFORT, NOVEMBER 5. We are informed by a letter from Lyons, that the troops destined for Spain, whose arrival had been for some time expected in that city, have not arrived there ; from which it is probable, that instead of marching for Catalonia, their first destination, they will now proceed by a shorter road through Navarre, and the North of Old Castile, where, in consequence of a new plan, the greatest part of the French force will be concentrated. Letters from the Departments of the South mention, that all thg horses and wag gons have been put in requisition for forwarding the grenadiers and foot chasseurs of the Imperial Guards, who lately set out from Paris. The horse grenadiers have already for some time been upon their march. It is reported that the Imperial Guards will form a Corps of Reserve, to be commanded by Marshal Bessieres. The march of troops from Germany to wards Spain continues still uninterrupted. Accord ing to the last letters from Bayonne, the whole corps of - Marshal Victor had passed through that city, and the corps of Marshal Ney was also expected there ; by means of which, an infantry division of from ten to eleven thousand men will be added to that over which he has hitherto had the command in Spain.— The passage of cavalry is not less considerable.— Already more than fourteen thousand cavalry, for the most part belonging to the corps in Germany, which were commanded by the present King of Naples, ate on their march for Spain. The dragoon regiments which were lately cantoned at Alencon form a part of these cavalry. It is calculated, that in the campaign which is about to be opened 300,000 French troops will act, and that all the Marshals of France will be employ ed in this formidable army. • The division of General Boudet, consisting of the 3d, the 56th, and 93d regiments of foot, and a park of artillery, have set out from Hamburgh, by the route of Harburgh, Soltau, &c. for this city, and will arrive in the beginning of the ensuing week in five FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
