SCRIBERS to I.l.OYD's. held this day, WILLIAM BELL, Esq. in the Chair, The Merchants, Underwriters, and other Subscribers to this House, having heard the tceport of the Committee of the Pa triotic Fund, made to a Meeting of the Subscribers to th:q Institution on the 21th instant, and having coosideved the same, Resolved uitanirrously, Treat this Meeting feel it incumbent an them to continue their support to the Patriotic Food; and that the sum of 50001. sl per Cent. Consolidated Annuities be transferred from the stork belonging to the Subscribers to this House, as a farther contribution to that benevolent and useful Institution. Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman for his able conduct in the Chair. The Merchants, Underwriters, acid others, Subscribers to Unyd's, who enjoy the pleasing . satisfaction of having led to the establishment of the Patriotic Fund, at the commence ment of the present war, feel themselves justi fi ed , by the ex perience of six years, in recommending this laudable and me ritorious Institutes: to the support of their countrymen. They are solicitous, at the same time, to call their atten tion to that altered state of public affairs, for which the ms tion is indebted to the valour of our brave defenders : to the almost entire annihilation of the naval force of the enemy, which has crowned the gallant exploits of British seamen ; and to the hopes of ultimate success which the courage, dis eildine, and firmness of British soldiers have inspired in those, for whose deliverance from a perfidious usurper they are at this moment making the most heroic exertions. And now that the transcendent efforts of valour displayed by the heroes who have led, and by the brave men who have so nobly followed iu the Cause of oar Country, have secured the freedom of these Realms, it ntav rarely be expected that the same generous impulse and feeling, which at a moment of great general alarm induced all ranks minis' in the laudable endeavour to animate the efforts of our Defenders, will he found still alive to their merits and sufferings: and that so lon as the present contest shall last, " the British Seaman nod the " British Soldier may alike confidently trust, that those who " are dear to hint while living, will, in the event of his falling " in the sacred cause, find Friends and Guardians in a grate " ful and generoas Count ry."

The numbers of the force attacking us were con. siderable, as there can be no doubt that the/ ex. ceeded ?5,000 men. Our troops fought Wavily for nine hours, during live of which a &MAO fire was kept up. But the bnemy having ()instead possession of a height on our left, acquired advantage of position, and were on the point surrounding us ; which circumstance determined me to retreat, covering the first division with tht second, which, till then, suffered least. The na. tioual holloor has been supported, though a number of men, and many it is estimated, that the loss of be less than 3000 men.

On the 9th, he was, we are informed, again at. tacked, and the enemy again repulsed, our troops having, ots both occasions, displayed the greatest valour and enthusias.; , . They write from Seville, that the advanced guard of our army has had an engagement with Sault, whom they forced to fly disgracefully, taking frora him two pieces of cannon. Lord Collingwood has sent advice, by means of Senor Coopigni, that Trieste has been evacuated. (Seville Gazette Extraordinary, Ana ft 8.) General Venegas, in dispaichei dated the sth, from the head-quarters at Ocana, scuds word that,. on that day, the first, second, and third dtt►lhiune of his army covered themselves with glory, on the banks of the Tagus, in Aratijuis, where being attacked three times by the enemy with the greatest impetuosity, they as often completely re. pulled him. The coolness and gallantry of our troops are superior to all praise. The enemy consisted of between 14 and 15,000 men, and the action lasted from fire in the evening till eight et night. By accounts received from General Cents, we learn, that the combined English and Spanish army was at Puente del Araubispo, on the right and Lft bank of the Tagus, watching Marshal Soult.

IT has b:42n too frequently the subject of just and general reprobation, that men, destitute of the ele ments of the medical art, ave offered thernielves its candi dates for public patronage in the profession of physic. For the purpose of doing justice to the result of our ;ludic' and experience, and to prevent as from being classed among those emptrics, whose impudent pretensions have, unfortunately for society, been too favourably received, we beg leave to submit, to the liberal and enlightened, a faithful statement of our pursuits and acquirenienn. After having received a regular medical education, as the pupils of Messrs.

" Meier siczeezmz SIR—At half after five, in the afternoon of the 4th, I received a dispatch from Captain-General Doti Gregorio de la Cucsta, in which he communicated to me his determiliation to break lip that night, to follow the English army, which had marched that morning to meet Souk, who was advancing by Plasencia. As I foresaw that the army under my censmand would be at. tacked, as soon as Joseph Napoleon and Victor, who were at Illeseas and Marqueda, the former: with 13,000 men, and the latter with 10,000, should have notice of that movement, I proceeded, on the morning of the sth, to Aranjuez, accompa. nied by the Commandant-General of the Artillery, and other officers of the staff, to examine the 'Kai. lions of the different corps, and point out those which they ought to occupy, in order to avail themselves properly of the advantage of the ground. " Brigadier Lacy, who, with his division, formed the vanguard on the bridge of Largo, had two leagues to march to repass the Tagus, by the bridge de la Reyna, the only one in proper condi. (ion ; and it being very easy for the enemy to cat off that division, I ordered that, leaving there a party of cavalry, it should retreat and take post in Lasdore Callas; I afterwards resolved, that in case of an attack, the Curdellera de Germ, immediate ly adjoining to Antegola, should be occupied, and that tide passage of the river should be obstinately r defended. Raving taken these precautiunary measures, the only ones which circumstances then permitted, I retiTed to my head-quarters ; but scarcely had I been there three hours, when I re. ceived advitm from Brigadier Don Nth.° Au. gustiue Giron, who, un account of his seniority, commanded tie three divisions, that several co. lutnns of the enemy's infantry, cavalry, and artil. lery, appeared on the bridge of Largo, and that a part of them had already passed it. I successively received other advices that the enemy's force con. tinued increasing ; and, from every appearance, I was convinced that the enemy intended a serious attack, and I believed that the. alight bring forces upon our rear from Toledo, or from the ford of Anovrc. To meet these dangers, I ordered Girun immediately to repass the Tags; at Lace, that he might take the position in the Cerros d. dinleguld, which I had pointed out, and defend the passage or the river, and the other positions, inch by inch ; and if he should be ol)liged to retreat, to retire IE4
