11%- „ • THE NATIONAL REGISTER. A miraculous instance of preservation from destruction oc curred in the East Essex Regimental Hospital at Harwich, in bhe middle of the night of Friday se ' nnight :—A chimney was lown down into one of the sick wards, the whole contents of which, near a ton in weight, fell on each side of a bed in which a sick serjeant lay ; the bedstead was shattered to pieces, and himself enveloped under the ponderous load, notwithstanding which he was extricated from his alarming situation unhurt— another man, who slept in the next birth, also escaped without the smallest injury. A gentleman was stopped on Tuesday evening last, about half plat eight o'clock, by two footpads armed with horse pistols, on Golder's Hill, between the live mile stone and the Ivy House, returning from Hendon, who after robbing him of his cash, pocka•book, &c. tied his hands behind him, placed a bandage over his eyes, and then threw him into a ditch in about twenty minutes, by extreme exertion, he liberated one hand from the cord, which rendered him able to get up, and consequently hast ened his steps towards the Bull and Bush Inn, North End. It is conjectured the villains made their way towards Hendon Vdlage. TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. MONDAY, JAN. 14.

DOWNING-TREET, JAN. 14. A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was yesterday received at the office of the Earl of Liverpool, addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Viscount Wellington, dated Cartaxo, Dee. 20, 1810. My Lotto—The enemy still continue in their position at Santarem, in which no alte - ation of consequence has been made since I addressed your Lordship on the I sth instant. They continue to collect boats on the Zezere, over which river thov have now two or three bridges. The enemy have hewn themselves en the Lower Coa, ac cording to the last accounts limn Gen. Silviera, but not, in his opinion, in such force, as to pass that river. The reports which I had received of the march of the troops of the Bth corps to wards Madrid, have not been confirmed. The last accounts which I have received from Cadiz, are of the Bth instant. I have, &c. (Signed) WP.LLINGTON. The following 17.xtract of a dispatch from Lord Viscount Wel lington, dated k.artaxo, Dec. 29, 1810, has been received at the office of the Earl of Liverpool. Since I addressed you on the 22d instant, I have received re ports that the enemy's troops winch had retired from Lower Beira, in the end of last and the beginning of this month, had crossed the Coa at Almeida, on the 15th, and 16th instant, and had moved into Upper Beira, by the roads of Piuhel and Tran coio, and of Alverca and Celerico. I have not been able to ascertain exactly the strength of the body of troops which have emered by this frontier, but it is sLated to be 16,000 or 17,000 men, and consists, I should imagine, riot only of Gardanne's division, but of some, if not the whole, i.f the troops of the 9th corps. By the last accounts I have of these troops, the advanced guard had arrived at Maceira, in the valley of the Mendego, on the v:?,d, and their progress has not been rapid. But if they have continued their march, they ought by this time to he in com munication with the enemy's post in the neighbourhood of Thomar. General Silvie.ra had retired with his division of troops to lkioimento de Beira; but lie and General Miller and Colonel Wilson'were prepared to act :.cross the Mondego upon the flanks and rear of the enemy's troops, the whole of which it appears were marching on the left of that river. No alteration has been made in the position of the enemy's troops in front of this army, excepting that a detachment of be tween two or three thousand cavalry and infantry had moved into Lower Beira, across the Zezere towards Castello Branco, probably with a view to gain intelligence. By accounts from Estremadura, it appears that Generals Men aizabal and Ballasteros have had some success ir. their opera tions against a French division belonging to Mortices corps, CERTIFICATES-FEB. 5.
