The following is the letter addressed to Mr. Sue. ZTBAN, by order of the late Lord Cbaosberlain, tead iu the debate last night : " JUNE 23. 1810. " I bare it in command from the Lord Clmniberlain to tie. qnshot you, that it has beet; ii,titnated to him that you propose emplo.ing the dor.uant Patent for a new 'rhesitre, and kis Lordship having no doubt of tLa Illegality of that inorunient, thinks it neces.ary to apprize you, that it is certainly his inten tion to oppose any Titea*e being opened within the Libertine of Westminstervnder such authority. " I have the honour to be, &e. &c." The circulating medium being at this time •ery much the subject of speculation, the following facts and calculations are submitted to our readers, lean. jog them to form their own conclusions : Let a crown piece be considered as worth ss. A dollar or Bank token is 1-12th less in weight than a crown ; therefore, if the silver in each is of equal quality, the value of a-dollar must be 4s. 7J. Silver may be exchanged for paper at the rate of four dollars fur 225. Theo, 100 crowns, or 251. in crowns, are worth 109 dollars and sd. which dollars may be exchanged for paper to the amount of 291. 199. 11d. In other words : by exchanging crowns for dol lars, and those dollars fur Bank notes, 24c. and .Id. in paper money may be had for four crowns, or one pound. ' Twenty shillings are bandy equal in weight to three dollars, worth as above, 13s. 9(1. Then, as many, shillings as are worth 13s. 9d. in dollars, will..exchangn. for 20s. in paper money. What would have-beeti the difference to the pub. 1k if the Bank had lowered Yin pound notes to 18s. instead of raising four dollars to 228. ? A one pound note and 2s. would, in that case, have exchanged for four dollars, as they do now. - - DRALARIVS STAMFORD NSIFII.—WO learn that the Number of this Paper, to be published on Friday, the .9th inst. wilt contain a FULL REPORT, taken in Shurt.hand, of Mr. BROUGHAM's elo quent Address to the Jury, in the case of the KING v.

Joseph de Zayas, Com. mander.in.Chief of the troops on .the island of Leon, remitted to the Council or Regency the fol. towing details, under date of the 4th inst. " At one o'clock yesterday morning I observed a firing from the advanced posts, which so rapidly increased as to leave no doubt that the enemy, at all risks, were determined to force-the head of the bridge at a moment so critical, and when every thing indicated the most vigorous set decided attack. I immediately disposed to reinfotee two companies of the Royal Guards, who, with thllefkof the regi. ment of Ordenas, which served' as a lesereepeuri who were on the opposite bank, coveretAllaik end without loss of time put in motion the teedalader of my forces, marching in eschelles by bittalions. The battalioa of Cuadores, commanded by Lieut.. 'Col. O'Daiw, teplaced that of Ordenas it their post ; and the What whoa the briskness of the firing assured me the enemy were forcing the work, which was soon verified p , the Ordenas quitting the bridge, whey ceLtbout 'hatititt-ibmik*laria, were &tatted by superior forces, which had. forced their Way into the works by various points. In this critical situ. alien, I ordered the Cazadores of Ireland to re. occupy this at all risks; nothing could equal the valour and rapidity with which these gitliant men executed this movement with the bayeeet, they drove the enemy from their politttee,4wltireet giv ing them time to realize the ohjetkor Off/04de. sign. According to the relitioe of various pal. goners, it appears that the 95th mid nth re. giments of the line, and the 27th Light 10. fantry, were those employed in this desire. ncral Villart remained to the last with the re. serve, threatening at the same time an attack upon the Cotilla de la Grana, to which I paid little at.. tention, because it appeared insignificant to me, as he never donld hide his true object, - which was el. ther, according to circumstances, to destroy the bridge, or preserve it, and endeavour to establish I himself in this line. • .3 - .. " The boldness with which the advanced troops fought, and the circumstances of the moment is which the reinforcement . uf some companies of the Ordenas were introduced, have caused the loss of some gallant men, killed or made prisoners ; among the former are the most worthy Officers of the Spa. lash Guards, Captain D. Augustin Estevan, Lieu tenant D. 3. Ximenes, and Ensign D. J. Revira ; and among the second we know of some who have bean wounded, and covered themselves with glory. Among the French corpses we found three Officers and although the occupation of the entrenchment was obtained but for a few minutes, his loss meat have been considerable. 64 I am now occupying myself in collecting the most exact and necessary details, in order to inform your Excellency of those who have most distinguish ed themselves; in the mean (Line I must point outla your Excellency, that notwithstanding having had killed or wounded some superior officers, the con sequences have not beets such as are usual on simi. lar occasions, and that the enemy, dislodged and driven back, has suffered losses which must, in the most positive manner, assist us in our ulterior ope. rations."
