OPERATIONS or Ims FRENCH ARMY ix SPAIN. Letters received direct front Bayonet, dated April 12, contain the following intelligence : The accounts from St. Sebsstian are very interesting; without referring to the official hulletin or order of the day, we may mentionthat on the !Moot' this month three battalions, making part of the 3,6oowsen composing the garrison of the fortress, advancing to reconnoitre to a considerable distance from the place, rnet wlth the Freoch, with whom they exchanged il few musket shots; hot bod ing themselves very inferior in number, they fell back to the town, when a flag of once soon appeared. The Commandent replied, thst be would not let the officer with the flag of truce enter till he had caused the troops to retire to the distance determined by the laws of war : this was done; then the flag of truce summoned him, in the name of his Royal Highness the Duke of A ngonicuie. to surrender the plate for Ferdinand VII. The governor replies', that he would not deliver up the place without a , formal order from his Sovereign. The flag of truce withdrew, and a fire was commenced upon the French troops, consisting of the 22d, 30th, and 31st regiments of the line, under the command of General Hawke. The bulletin states, that we 104 only 20 men, but we know, however disagreeable the avowal may he to ns, from notch more certain accounts, that we bad 60 killed atid ;kJ wounded or taken prisoners. This victory. though slight, shows how the Spaniards may defend themselves, and must inflame their courage. The news wasimme• diately announced at Ililbot and Sr. Andero, by an aviso that was sent to those places. A French brig was taken in the port where it had put in. After taking out the cargo, consisting of flour and wine, which they paid for, they put on board the French prisoners, and it is said, even most of the French refugee officers who may be more useful elsetelmte. The town has been abandoned by the whole population. with the exception of some in dividuals and the Aleide ' M. Brunet, a Frenchman , a man of great firmness and very active. We expecrevery moment the men wounded in this affair. Provisions are very scarce iu Spain; so that now the soldiers who pass through are obliged to take provisions for nine days, which is 3 dreadful fatigue for the men. The horses have nothing. We learn from St. Jean Pied sle-Port, that the subdivision Couchy, of the 3d corps, has passed the Pyrenees, and that the remainder will pass here with the artillery. The three provinces in Navarre have informed M. de •blartignac that they will assist the French on condition tliat the King of France will guarantee the restoration of their ancient privileges. The Yorkshire Petition, for Parliamentary Reform, I • ion been transmittof to London, and will on Monday he pot into the hands of Lord Milton, for presentation in the eonrse of the week. The exact number of signatures •is 17,050, and the admeasureneent of the petition is fltiO feet. As we hsve already explained, every individual subscriber has affixed to the petition not merely his name, bat also the place of his residence, and the site of his freehold; and there never was, from the first institution of Parliament to the present hour, a petition laid upon the table of that honse, combining more legitimate claims to attention than this document, which contains the de • liberate opinion, spontaneously expressed, of a majority of the most enlightened, independent, and trnly respite. • able elates of men in the largest division of the kingdom. --{Geed: Mercury.) The above petition, a York paper of Saturday stye was to be forwarded that morning to London, anti it is expected to be presented by Lord Milton on Thursday next, immediately prior to Lord John Russell's motion for a Reform. lurt The petition presented by General en Saturday in the House of Commons, from the freeholders of the county of Donegal), lately convened by requisition and signed by the High Sheriff. was sot is favour of the Bill for the commutation of tithes, as stated erroneously in oar report of the debates, Gut praying that it might not pass into a law ; and to which prayer Lord Jlonotcharles objected. t Ott Saturday Sir William Confrere exhibited to Lord • Melville and other distinguished persons, at Gillingham, near Chatham, the effects of some new-invented rockets, -called anchor rockets. A small anchor is affixed to the head of one of the largest species of rockets, so that it - can be thrown across a river, or to a considerable dis tance, with a rope attached to it, and the ancher fixes it self firmly in the gcouod. The experiments succeeded perfectly. k' The Rev. Dr. Malthy, Prebendary of Lincoln, was, on ' , Friday last, nnanimously elected Preacher to the Hon. "Society of Lincoln's lon, in the room of the Rev. Dr. •gseber, preferred to the Bishopric of Calcutta. ' in conseqnence of the great sickness and mortality ' *Lich recently prevailed among the prisoners in the Pe nitentiary, at 'Milbank, and its being reported by a CO toner's Jury that some alterative regimen in the pri soners' diet was required, in their opinion, Mr. Bennet, Is the !louse of Commons, asked the ques•ion of Mr. Peel, If any thing bad been done towards attending to 'the recommendation of the Coroner's Jury. Mr. Peel answered, that a Committee of Medical Gentlemen had bred directed to report their opinion upon the subject. 'The result of this opinion was, a recommendation that • 'each prisoner should be allowed three oranges per diem, and 4 qnarter of a pound of meat, in addition to their former allowance, which was soup gruel, and bread only. Dne orange was directed to he taken the first thing in the mormtig, anti the remainder during the day. The Steward, in pursuance of this regulation, went to Bil lingsgate mini purchased 2114100 oranges. The beneficial • romps eXpetitet to the health of the prisoners by this addition of animal food and oranges, remains to be de termined. We Understand this additional allowance prescribed by the faculty, being expected to become ge neral in other persons throughout the country, has ex • cited no small satisfaction among the orange merchants, who are, in consequence, looking (email to becoming Government contractors. Ax AFFLUENT HENGICANT.—On Fidday evening, an elderly stranger solicited alms from some gentlemen near "the Cathedral, and, on being refused, became insolent. Mr. George Wright, high constable, to whom the circumstance was mentioned shortly afterwards, pursued and overtook him in a few minutes. Perceiving a bulk at his breast, Mr. Wright searched him, and found en the po ion of this impostor, whose appearance denoted nothing but poverty. an old stocking, eontsing no less than 401. 18s. lid. all in :silver, except Ws. in notes. Such a circumstance having ea• aurally awakened suspicions, he wee detained until next iIaS when, on being examined before Sir Simon Newport, Depu ty Mayor, he represented himself as having been occasion. ally *aimed in the capacity of a teacher in different parts of the country, at other times as an itinerant pedlar. or dealer in rags, is. lie sebscribed his name, Charles Calla ghan, in a legible hand, to his examinations. Several gen tlemen who were in the Mayor's office recognised him as a wandering mendicant in this City and shout the surround ing country for some time past ; and it further appeared thatlie has a wife, who is now pursuing the same avocation is the barony of Gaultier, and a daughter in the Fever Hos pital. The Mayor has properly detained the money until icquiries are made from certain gentlemen in the country to whom he said be was known, and has committed the men himself as a vagrant to the House of Correction.—( Water/ Wealth.) SUSIBURGH HEAD LIGHTHOUSS IN SHETLAND.—SUCii has been the the tempestuous state of the weather at this classic headland, that the quantity of rain, which fell during the month of February, could not be correctly as eertained on account of the sprays of the sea netting into the gauge, though elevated l ino less than 3011 feet above high water mark.

A very numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabi tants of Plymouth, was held at the Guildhall, on Wednes , day, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to Interfere In abolishing the slave trade in our colonies.

The Peiorus, IS, Columbine, IS. Falcon, 10, and Lyra. 10, at Plymouth, are ordered to be brought forward for eominission. Officers of the guardships here have been sent to the different commercial ports, to endeavour to obtain volunteer seamen for the necessary complements. What is become of our sailors? is the general question, and whence arises the disinclination to enter on board men of wart Neither question, perhaps, can be answered satisfactorily; but among the causes of the scarcity of seamen may be men tioned the great numbers who have emigrated, or are enga ged to the service of the Northern and Southern States of America; those who are employed in navigating our own immense commercial fleets, and those who have received pensions, or who returned to peaceful pursuits, have settled throughout the different countries of the three kingdoms. Capt. F. Marryat has taken cotntnand of the Larne, 20 gun sloop, and Capt. C. Mitchell. the Slaney, both feting for foreign service. Capt. the Hon. C. Abbott, is appointed to the Coium bine, 18 gun sloop, ordered to be commissioned at Ply mouth. The Tweed, a ship built to mount 23 Enns,was launch ed from Portsmouth dock-yard, on Monday.

Ly, IMPROVEMENT ON SIIOEMAKER%' SIZE-STICKE.-.(FrOm an Aberdeen Correspondent.)—if the manufacturers of shoemakers' sive-sticks would begin the scale of inches, which is upon the upper side of the stick or rule, direct ly opposite to the inner edge of the fixed end guage, then the moveable guar. by encompassing any subject which it could embrace, would answer as a pair of pers, and chew the extent between the indices in inches and parts, and thereby render the size-stick serviceable for many purposes (to which it is not at present applies hie) besides measuring the human foot for shoemaking. As it is no.v constructed, the face of the fixed guage about a quarter of an inch within the commencement of the first inch, and therefore does not indicate the extent correctly ; and it would only require to shift the shoe makers' scale upon the under side the same space for ward, to cause it to answer both the purposes of a shoe maker's measure and callipers. The implovemeot is so obvious and easy, that is hoped the manufacturers will at once adopt it; and they will assuredly find their interest in so doing, in the increased sale of the article.

DEATH OF RIR CH ARLES HAIIPYYLDE.-Air Charles !Ism- I fylde died on Saturday night at *0 minutes past eight. The surgeon. having been unable to extract the ball, had, on 1 consultation, pronounced his case hopeless. For some days he had been in state of torpor, and expired in that melan choly situation. Having expressed a wish that the cease of his death should be ascertained, his body has in conse quence been opened, and the following is the correct re port : • " The ball entered on the left side between tho eleventh and twelfth ribs, fracturing the articulation of the former with the spine, and then passed across, grazing the diaph ragm or floor of the chest, but not injuring the lungs, and lodged on the Inside of the anterior part of the cavity be tween the ninth and tenth ribs, a part of the ball being un covered and visible from the inside.

FATAL DCEL.—An afair of honour took place OD Friday morning, between Mr. B—s, an officer on the full-pay, and Mr. G—T, an officer on the hnlf-pay. The formerat tended by Capt. R—s, and the latter by Mr. R—v. The parties met on Wimbledon Common, and fought after the French fashion, with the rapier worn by French officers. We regret to say, that after a few passes, both parties were se .erely wounded. Mr. B—s was with difficulty removed to the village, and is riot expected to survive. The quarrel originated in some misunderstanding respecting a provincial actress. Small punnets of ripe strawberries were brought on Saturday morning last to Covent-market, and exposed for sale. They are, of course, the produce of the hot house, and not to be considered as an exception to the backwardness of the season. At the Devon Session, on a Jury assembled on Friday last; there were four persons of the names of Eastcott, iVestcott, Northcott, and Southcott ; and the prosecutor's name was Prescott. A singular old gentleman in a neighbouring county, was waited upon the other day with his surgeon's bill, for the purpose of being paid. After cogitating for some time over its contents, he desired the young man who called with it, to tell his master, that the medicine he would certainly pay for, but as for the visits which he bad charged, he should return them.--(Stockport Advertiser.) A surgeon and apothecary, not 100 miles from Salis bury, desirous of having a alibi -c', for the benefit of his pupils, agreed with some of the all-night people to pro cure him one. At about half-past eleven on Saturday night las', a subject was accordinzly bronzht, and placed in the parlour for the night. The snrgeOn retired to rrsr, and early on the following morning he went to the parlour for the purpose of removing his purchase to the dissecting room. The bag was there, but—the snbject had left, taking with him plate to the amount of forty pounds. A case was decided by the Justices of Peace at Mon trose, on Monday last, which excited considerate a amuse mt ot. A barber brought an action against a gentleman for Os. 6d. sterling. for going to his house and shaving him, at threepence each time. The charge was disputed on various grounds, particularly the alteration in the value of the inf. , rency, occasioned by the passing of Mr. Peel's bill ! The gentleman was most particular in stating the war price of shaving, which he maintained was lower than that now charged in time of peace. Much eloquence was displayed by the defeudant. The plaintiff, as is not the case with barbers in general, said but little. 'The Justices thought the charge moderatt% even in peareitHe times, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with expenses. This sentence seem ed to give satisfaction to a crowded Court.—(Edia. Va.'.) In the last Circuit Court of Justiciary held at Jed burgh, John Scott, a man considerably advanced in years, was indicted for various acts of sheep-stealing between the lit September, 1t417, and the Ilth June, 18It4. The number of sheep stolen from tilleen lash vi•luals amount to In. The prisoner pleaded guilty to psrt of the charge, and was sentenced to 14 years trans portation. At the late Circuit Court of Justiciary held at Perth, Peter Maequeen, from Dundee, was indicted for having mi e n a watch. He first denied the crime ; but afterwards confessed. and was ordered to be transported fur seven years. When he heard his sentence, he bawled out in a broad Irish Sc.l cent, " Thank ye. my Lord ; th at ' s better than a had mar riage. I would not thick mach about taking your watch yet." !

Date,* tele FAPISRIMENTR on the body of Fallow% exe cuted at Chester for the Murder of Betty Shawcross : After banging about en hour and a quarter, the body having been cut down and removed into the interior of the prison; it was, prior to dissection, determined to subject it to the indnence of the galv anic p ower. The countenance appeared almost natural, rather fuller than during life; this circumstance giving to the face a hand somer and more placid appearance than the to itninal bore at the trial. There was no hardness or discoloratiOn ex cepting round the neck, from the pressure of the coett. There were present Doctor Pigot and Dr. Jones of the Infirmary, with several other medical gentlemen and their mils. A voltaic battery. consisting of nearly one hundred arid fifty pairs of plates, was procured. Dr. Jones proceeded to lay bare the different nerves on which it wasintended to operate. In the experiment an attempt was made to restore the action of the respiratory func tion, according to the suggestion of Dr. lire, the profes sor at Glasgow. For this purpose Dr. Jones laid hare, and brought into view the phrentc nerve, as it runs down under the muscles, about the middle part of the side of the neck. Another incision was made at the under edge of the cc- Tenth rib, for the purpose of getting ingress to the diaph ragm, the thief of the muscular powers by which the pheno mena of the breathing process are effected ; the phrecie nerve above mentioned being the chief agent by which the necessary nervous influence is furnished to those powers.— One of the poles of this battery was placed in contact with the phrenic nerve, the other la contact with the diaphragua through the incision under the rib—a " slight but unequiv— cal respiratory movement followed." This movement was several times repeated. In the subsequent experiments vie muscles of the arm and leg performed their natural move ments to an extent commensurate with the p ower of the bat tery, in a manlier that excited the wonder of the uninstruct ed bye-slanders. The muscles of the face were made to contract with much effect, particularly those of the eyes an mouth, giving rise to a variety of painful expression 4 An objection was made to the removal of a piece of bo-e in the back of the neck, by which the spinal marrow woilid have been brought into view, and exposed to contact wit i one pole of the battery, or, in Dr. Jones's opinion, effects along equal to those produced by Dr. Ure, on the body of Clydesdale, at Glasgow, might have been expected. , CAIiBRIDOE. APRIL 17.—At the Sessions fir this tnern on Monday, William Bishop, Thomas Hyde, Will.a.a Barnes, and F. Leet, were indicted for assaultiiai the Rev. J. Cape and the Rev. J. Scholefield, Pro-Prow sirs of the University, and rescuing a common prostitn:e out of their custody. A secon I count charged them with oisstructing one of the Proctor's men (a constable) in the mention of his duty; and a third count fir a cont.tran assault. —After an argument of some length, and several ingenious objectiont by Mr. Pryinc, for the defendants, the Recorder observed, that tAtough the right of the ,l'ai versity Proctors to scared for prostitutes was beyond all doubt, yet, as that right was nut satisfactorily proved, he directed the Jury to acquit the defendants on the. first count of the indictment; Bishop and Hyde seers t!•es , found guilty on the last count, sentenced to one ni Intii's imprisonment, awl to enter into recognizance, in 501: to keep the peace for twelve months.
