FRENCH PAPERS OF TUESDAY. ARMY OF THE PYRENEES. WORT PROM MARSHAL THC 0111E6'01 RCM° TO THE SSCRETART AT WAR. " Madrid, Aug. 13. "Monseigneur. -Lient.-General Count Bourcke reports, ;bat the artillery which he had brought from Ferrol are in Wray, ind that by the 6th of this mouth he would be n ay to commence firing on Corunna. His plan was to w oeful the place of new before commencing the canoe s, which would take place immediately after the return do e flag of truce, if the Governor persisted in his refusal w surrender. "General Morillo, with General Larochejacquelin, after baring dispersed the Constitutional bands of Palarea and Roselle, Governor of Orense, entered Vigo, where they found a great deal of artillery. - General Bourcke only learnt this news on the sth: he was informed also, that Wilson and Quiroga, who lied repaired to that city in the hope of raising the province of Trix, had embarked the same morning. "Not to give the enemy time to reconnoitre, Generals 'Morino and Larocliejaeglielin marched on Bayonna, a small place on the sea coast, at the extremity of Galicia, which probably will not hold out longer than Vigo. Thence they will move on Fey, which they will occupy. " Every march produces great rkesertion in the ranks of the Constitutionalists. U I Bourcke proposes to make General hlargewrie march with his brigade, so as to arrive by St. Martin de Quiroga and la Puebla de Santa Brie, at Lugo on the sth, whence be will fell back on Orense. " By this means the enemy will be placed between two fires, and cannot reach Castile. General Marguerie will afterwards return to Ferrol with the 35th regiment, des tined to form the garrison of that place. " The Captain General of Old Castile (Charles O'Don nell) reports that 27 Royalist peasants of Villa de Ciervos attacked, on the 17th July last, in the environs of that town, 42 cavalry of the regiment of Algarve, commanded by a brother of the Empecinado, and, in spite of the resistance they opposed, took 36 of them prisoners, with their arms and horses. Two were killed, and the Chief, with three others, crossed into Portugal, where they were arrested. They have all been conducted to Valladolid. "Marshal Commandant in Chief of the First Corps, " NOT, Duke of Reggio." GENERAL ORDER. His Royal Highness the General in Chief has witnessed with the most lively satisfaCtion the brilliant success that has been obtained in every rencontre with the enemy, and particularly on the 13th of July at Lore., on the 25th at Guad alhnertana, and on the 21. h at Campillo de Arenas. The troops of all classes have proved that they know how to unite great valour to the most perfect diseipli ne.Hisßoyal High ness has also witnessed the zeal and the constancy which the of cers and the soldiers have never ceased to display during long and difficult marches; the compatriots, their Generals. and particularly the Commander in Chief, Count Molitor, - who has so well justified the confidence the King has placed in his talent and his devotion. " Head Quarters, Andujar, Aug. 9, 1823. " Major Gen. Count GUiLLEHINOT." PARIS, Aug. 19.—Yesterday, Monsieur, accompanied by Madame the Duchess de Berry, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, the brother of the King of England, the Prince of Solms, and a brilliant staff, repaired to the Champ de Mars to witness the review of the troops tha t were assembled, to the number of 9000 men. The troops de filed before them in great order. Faexcir FUNDS, AWL 19.—Five per cont. Cnnsols opened at 92.75.; highest, 33.; closed at 92.:10.; Neapo litan 5 per Cents. 77k. Exchange on London, one month, 25.75.; three months, 25. 53. PRRPIGNAN, Aura. 11.—The division of Curial continues the blockade of Barcelona. On the Ist of August the Piedmoatese Colonel San Naas was shot in Barcelona at 10 o'clock, convicted of having kept up a correspondence with the French, to intro duce them into the place, in consideration of a sum of money. On the sth at noon Dr. Don Francis Frigola:euri of Blanes, was also executed (he was arrested some months ago, and convicted of intelligence with the French.) Other execu tions have taken place. These persons made signals to the French at night, by alternately lighting and extinguishing a lantern. General Mina is entirely recovered. He labours conti nually. The 28th of July he was at a patriotic assembly. He ascended the tribune, and after having by a very ener getic speech excited the enthusiasm of all the assembly, he announced that in the month of August a great power will intetfere and bring them aid. It appears that the defection of Rallasteros is likely to prove of less benefit to the Freud' than even that of Mo rino. Letters received yesterday from Paris state, that the Governors of Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, and Santona, had indignantly rejected the summons which liallasteros pre sumed to address to them. The Governor of Painpeluna replied, that " he held his command under the Coastite timid King. and no longer acknowledged the anthority of a man who had renounced his allegiance, and placed him. self under a rebellious Regency." Letters of the Bth instant, received yesterday from Bil bao, state that the authorities and principal inhabitants of that place bad transmitted an address to the Regency at Madrid, praying for the re-establishment of absolute power and the Inquisition It should be observed, however, that as the province of Biscay lost all its commercial privileges by the revolution, it is not surprising to find them the bitterest opponents of the Constitutional Government. The gallant Mina, upon whom the burden of the war has lain, will not, wetrast. be forgotten in any part of Europe. The friends of freedom would do well to adopt some ex pression of grateful regard towards him, for his heroic and unparalleled resistance. The Portuguese Consul, who was lately here suggested to us, sometime ago, the plan of pur chasing a sabre, by subscriptions of one shilling each, and presenting it in the name of the people of Glasgow, to this Spanish Defender of Ike imperseriptable Rights of Man.— We should be glad to further such a plan, should circum stances render it advisable.—(Glasgow Free Press.) Tee E/IPICINADO.-It is generally supposed that John Martin Dies, which is the real name of this Spanish Guerilla Chieftain, was called Empeeinado, because be was very dark, and that it was a name given peculiarly to him ; but the fact is, that it oily became peculiarly his nick-name, in consequence of the celebrity he so justly acquired ; for all the inhabitants of Castrillo de Duero (the place of his birth) are indiscriminately so called by the neighbouring villages, in consequence of a very black mud being found iu a little stream which runs through Castrillo, and which is called peeina. HALIFAX (N. S.) July 23,1823.—The Earl of Dalhousie, Governor General of North America, arrived here in the Nova Scotia Government brig Chebuctoo, on the 2d inst. on a visit to his Excellency Sir James Kempt, anal the pro vince. His Lordship was attended by Capt. Hay and Mr. Mask, Aids-die-Camp; Lie6tenant Col. Durnford, Royal Engineers, and Captain Packer, 68th Regiment, Assistant Quartermaster General. His Lordship bas been received in tbe most affectionate and enthusiastic manner by all classes of people. The President of the United States has offered for sale his estates in Albemarle County, Virginia, including about 4000 sores. Flan IN Cetteima.—A Montreal Paper of the 28th ult. says. " We regret to learn that there has been a very alarming and extensive fire in the lower part of the Pro viso*, which has laid waste an extent of five miles. It arose from accident on the grounds of Mr. Stuart, and ex teesied its wages to Cascapedia. Several settlers have had their loues destroyed, and the crops which lay within the s actika of tko am It continued daring fifteen THE STATESMAN. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

KING'S COURT AT WINDSOR COURT. It I,a• ing been ascertained that the King was going to hold a Court at his ancient and Royal Castle of Windsor, for the first time since his accession to the Throne, a num ber of strangers collected in anxious expectation of seeing his Majesty. The Earl of Liverpool arrived at the Castle Inn from Coorobe Wood; the other Cabinet Ministers and Privy Councillors arrived at the saute inn, and the White Hart Inn, where they dressed to attend the King. At two o'clock, being the hour appointed for bolding the Court, the Royal cavalcade was espied from the hill of the Long walk; his Majesty in a carriage and four beautiful bay horses, attended by the Master of the Horse, and Lord St. Helen's, as the Lord in Waiting. The Royal procession proceeded through Park -street. High-street, and Castle street, and the King entered the Castle exactly at five mi nutes past two o'clock. His Majesty was dressed in the Windsor uniform, wearing the Order of the Garter. The Cabinet Ministers and others atteudiog the Court were not dressed in Court dresses, but appeared in what is called an evening dress. The King proceeded to hold his Court, which was attended by the kirst Lord of the Treasury, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, the Master of the Mint, the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward, Sir Chas. Long, Mr. Freemantle, &c. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which Mr. Greville attended as Clerk, at which a proclamation was agreed upon for the election of a Scotch Peer, In the room of the late Duke of Roxburghe deceased. His Majesty gave an audience to the Earl of Liverpool, who ofbciated for the Lord President, who is gone abroad. His Majesty also gave audiences to Mr. Peel and Mr. Canning. The Court broke up at half-past three o'clock, when the King returned to his Lodge to dinner. Mr. Canning, on his leaving the White Hart Inn, accom panied by his son, and his nephew, Lord George Bentiock, his private Secretary, proceeded on his way to Liverpool, from which place the Right Hon. Secretary will proceed into Westmorland, oa a visit to Mr. Bolton, at his seat on theirs* of Windermere-lake. DEATH OF ROBERT BLOOMFIELD. On Tuesday, Aug. 19, aid, Bedfordshire, in his fifty-seventh year, died Robert Bloomfield, author of the • Farmer's Boy,' &c. &c.—His constitution, naturally weak, had of late years become alarmingly impaired ; every fresh attack left him still weaker; the last, it was feared, bad he survived it, would have fixed him in a state of mental aberration, to which himself and dearest friends must have preferred his death. Although a brief obituary may hardly be considered the proper place to discuss his merits as an au thor, yet it is difficult to pass them over without notice, since they are so intimately connected with his virtues as a man. His first production,' The Farmer's Buy,' which became the basis of his futon, reputation, was written under circum stances most appalling to genius and taste ; yet it was not to adventitious considerations, hut to its own intrinsic me rits, the public bestowed on it a most unbounded admira tion ; those merits were universally acknowledged, and peobaps no other ever possessed higher or more valuable testimonials of esteem, procured through talent than Robt. Bloomfield. Charmed as the world was with other ab• straot beauties of the poem, they could not but reverence that fervid glow of pensive morality which has been justly said to 'pervade and hover over every page,'—and which was taken by the best judges of the human heart as an earnest that' his Want less life still answered to his song;' in this they have not been deceived. As a descriptive poem, The Farmer's Boy' possesses beauties that have never been surpassed, and which prove its author to have been an adorer of the external forms of Nature. As a pastoral, it has a dramatic cast of character that must al ways render it most interesting to every class of readers, throughout the whole he is continually inculcating. his fa vorite principle, proving by example, that • Duty's basis is Humanity, and that man's best ambition is directed to ' Peace, and Home, and Love.' fhroughont the whole of Bloomfield's writings, the characters, the manners, the oc cupations, the feelings, are all the product of his ilative country, and, if we may be allowed the expression, he is the most ENGLISH author in our language. Of all the modern poets, poor Hiles was Nature's warmest enthusiast and purest devotee : if she did not unlock for him her most magnificent treasures, filling him with high thoughts, she was pleased to admit him to her most familiar converse, giving him the key of her affections, and through him waking our tenderest sympathies in language that needs no teaching to understand. Throughout all his poetry, sweetness and pathos are the prevailing characteristics, and in penning has tender and beautiful ' Rural Tales,' the reader frequently feels, a witness that he cannot stop, to rove that he never appeals to the heart in vain. His bal lads and tales arc indeed fac-similies (and as snch alone are truly valuable) of the manners of a happy English pea santry, before refinement and reform changed their cha racter and made them candidates for pauperism. Even yet, perhaps, in some few nooks of our island, let us hope some Walters and Janes, some Pitches, some Peggy Jlel drams, may be found to strengthen their hopes by his many examples of virtuous love triumphing over poverty, disappointment, and despair. This was the field where his genius loved , to refresh itself, and his reward was never so full as when shedding tears of satisfaction over the young couple be bad made happy. Alas! that he who employed himself so often in contriving the ideal happiness of others, should not have participated in his own designs. Ah. wbishouhl Fate her baleful influence shed Why pour It on the buds devoted bead From Fortune's cup the bitterest draught he takes, And feels the ['lance dulnees never unites. To pour Bloomfield the malice of Fortune has been unre lenting. He was indeed a man of sorrows, but be is now gone. His mild and gentle spirit has slipped the fiery cords that hound it, and lie is at length safe from her persecutions, anchored in that spot where the destitute find refuge and the weary rest. IMPROVEMENTS IN I:DINBURGII.—On laying the font ation stone of a New Church on Friday last, the Lord Pro vost of Edinburgh said, speaking of Edinburgh—" With respect . to our own metropolis, it might be truly said, and he congratulated his fellow citizens upon it, that the in . eiraied grandeur of the city, and the various additional accommodations which the inhabitants enjoy, were never in so short a space of time equalled by any one city in the British dominions, far less in any other part of the world. The reputation of Edinburgh is now widely extended, and not only the inhabitants of our sister kingdom, but foreign ers of distinction, from every part of the Continent, visit it in.gemst numbers every year, and I venture to say, none depart from it, without being filled with admiration at the natural beauties of its situation, and the magnificence of its buildings." We could have wished his Lordship to have been a little more particular on the subject of the additional accommodations in the modern Athens, for the sake of the inhabitants of this part of the island. At present the stoutest hearted enter the steam boats with fear and fore boding. ST. ANDREW'S LOYALTY.—Our citizens have long been celebrated for loyalty. Not content with the festivities of St. George, the 12th of August is also observed as the birth day of our liege Sovereign. " Losh," quoth a clown in the fair, as his astounded ears were saluted with the din of bells, " Wba e'er heerd o' the like o' a man born twice in a'e year ?" " Whisht man," quoth his companion, " ilka man's no a king !"—(Scotch Paper.) DREADFUL AND FATAL OCCeRRENCL—At the village of Claverton, near Bath, a mill is erected for the purpose of throwing the water out of the old river into the Kennet and Avon Canal. Qn Saturday night, a young man of the name of Lideard, 22 years of age, by some means, it is sop. posed by his foot slipping, got entangled in this mill as be was walking near the place, and, dreadful to relate, his body was literally ground to death ! When discovered by Ms friends, they could scarcely recognise his person. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING, WEDVESDAV, Aug 2).

LANCASTER ASSIZES.—WsoNsaDmr, Atm 20. CHORLEY V. GTIIIION,-.SPECIAL JURY. The entire morning MIS occupied in a trial for a libel, which excited a considerable degree of interest. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that the libel was of the most injurious description, reflecting upon a gentleman of character and fortune, in the neighbourhood of Bolton on the Sands; and what aggravated the conduct of the defendant was, that he was a young gentleman, a graduate of the University of Oxford, educating with a tiew to his becoming a M tof the Church. The libel was contained in an ironical production pub lished in the Kendal Chronicle, and it professed to defend the plaintiff against certain imputations of meanness and corruption, in the discharge of the functions of overseer of the poor, and surveyor of the roads, bat at the same time was calculated to infer that the impntations had been justly merited by the conduct of the Plaintiff The Learned Counsel insisted much on the want of Christain charity, manifested by the Defendant, thus libelling his neighbour, with whom he professed to be living on terms of friendship; and trusted that the Jury, to mark their sense of such con duct, would visit him with exemplary &linage.. The Libel having been proved and read, Mr. Sergeant Caoss addressed the Jury, describing this libel as a mere school-boy lampoon, unworthy the attention of the plaintiff, and wholly unfit to be made the subject of serious investigation in a public Court of Justice by a Special Jury. Justice HOLROYD was of opinion the publication in question bore the character of a libel, and deserved such damages as the Jury might consider reasonable. The Jury consulted • short time and returiied a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40s.

Letters patent passed the Great Seal of Ireland yesterday, appointing the Most Noble Charles William, Marques. of Londonderry, to be Custos Rotator= for the County of Down.—(Dublin Evening Post of Twesday.) PALMERSTOWN Pets.—Was exceedingly crowded on Sunday. In the night a serious riot took place at the 7th lock of the Canal, among about 150 persons, who were returning from the above annual scene of festivity; the battle, in which many knock-down blows were given and taken, lasted for some time, and several persons were much injured. The Police, and Peace Officer Scott, at length succeeded in restoring tranquillity.—(l6id) T. Moons, Eeo.—On Saturday evening Mr. T. Moore arrived in town from Limerick, having parted there with the Marquess and Marchioness of Lansdowne, whom he accompanied so far from Killarney. During his visit to the Earl of Kenmore. Mr. Moore was waited upon by a Deputation of Gentlemen of Killarney, requesting him to lx a day to dine with :hem on the romantic island of In. nistallen; but the shortness of his stay in Ireland would not allow him to accede to their request.—(l6id.) Dr. Murray, lately appointed Roman Catholic Arel,bishop of Dublin, has signalized his succession to -Dr. Troy by a pastoral letter, announcing, and positively attesting, an other miracle by Prince Hohenlohe.

The Apothecanes Company have recently experienced the vicissitudes of trade,having been deprived of the supply l of medicines to his Majesty's Navy, and likewise to the East India Company. The supply to his 514jsty's Nary amounted to 12,0001. per annum ; and to the East India Company full 30,0001. and it is presumed that the net profit on the s hove sums was nearly one-third.

Soon after, another rabbit leaped into a pit 4.4 feet deep, and was fearlessly followed by the genie dog. Men and ropes were lowered to relieve them, and, to their astonishment, found the pursuer and pursued sitting un hurt, looking at each other, at the bottom of the pit. A foot race of an hour was run yesterday on the Edgware road, over a two mile piece of ground, between Lieutenant Ashley and Mr. Willoughby, both turned out good runners.— It was for a rump and dozen, and ten sovereigns. Both ran their first two miles abreast, in eleven minutes nine seconds, the second in twelve minutes and twenty seconds, the third in thirteen minutes and nineteen seconds. Here the Lieutenant took the lead, and did the next two miles in fourteen mLutes and fifty seconds, leaving his adversary about thirty yards in his rear. He kept his distance a-head, rather increasing du ring the remainder of the race. The Lieutenant won the match by more than a hundred yards, he hewing performed nine miles and a few yards over in the hour.—A rough looking country man in a smock frock, and very unlike a runner, was brought forward, to run a quarter of a mile within a minute. Ile was matched for live sovereigns, and when petted, he threw oft the clumsy disguise. Proper watches having been set, he perform ed the task In one second within the given time. ALARMING Ftaz.—This morning about six o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in Buckland's Cork warehouse, situated in Sheppe Yard, Alinories, and so rapid was the progress of the devouring element, that in the space of an hour and half the whole of the premises were burnt to the ground. A school house adjoining was also damaged. It was greatly feared, from the confined state of the vicinity, and the inflammable nature of the materials on the premisea,that the fire would hare extended itself to Haydon Yard; but by the prompt exertions of the firemen, aided by a good supply of water, the flames were confined to the building in which they broke out. An im mense quantity of ignited cork was thrown into the yard, and sent forth a stench sufficient to suffocate the whole neighbourhood. The engines were playing upon the ruins at eleven o'clock this forenoon. The premises were fortu nately insured. Coax EXCRANGE. AVOW 22.—The arrivals of Wheat 3400 quarters; of Oath 1,000 quarters, and of Flour, 3,400 sacks, this week, form but an inconsiderable addition to the quantities left over from Monday's sales, and the weather is wet and unkind for the h .
