- ,11•1•M....•• . T . SPAIN. CORUNNA. A cutter has arrived at Falmouth, from C..rnnna, which left that place on m the 22d, bringinz th nc P agreeable and important inforation. that the Freh had desisted .40.ellIben their enterprise, and withdrawn from the heights i• /seed the town although the direction they had takes .• • 1111111 not ascertained. Since the 19th the limit had ti. ' • tally ceased, and when the cutter came away, a disposable . ' force of 1200 men was preparing to follow the rear of the French, under an expectation that a plan of opera dons would be formed with the 6000 regulars concen trating on the side of Vigo and Online, with a view to • harass the enemy in a long and difficult retreat, which after the Corunna affair it was supposed the invaders 'would be compelled to undertake. Sir Robert Wilson )iad sailed for Vigo, for the purpose of preparing. and _hastening this movement; bat, owing to a •ierse winds, It was apprehended he would have a very long passage. The brave defenders of Corunna, however, had deter- Inined to follow up their victory, by hanging on the rear of the enemy. till the main army came up to act in 'concert. . A considerable quantity of arms and baggageh Vein picked up on the ground that had been occup'ed by the French. In their attack they had brought .p a few !wiry pieces of artillery whiebt hey had obtained in Fer. tol, for it note turns out diet the latter place had been aban doned to them when they advanced, in consequence of its being considered untenable, owing to the surrounding heights by which itis comusatided,andantarderwasinconse quence issued to withdraw the stores and artille/,in which undertaking theConstitutionaliste tiers engaged whets the French made their appearance; a ptiaAip 61 part hating, however, been conveyed away. Nearly all the inhabit. ants had also passed over to Corunna, so that when the French entered they [dead an empty town. In Ferrol they placed a garrison of 300 men, and with the rest of their division they proceeded to Coruna*, where they were led to believe they would have an equally easy con quest. Im ne Betel) , after their defeat, they withdrew the garriaon fromFerrol,;when their force, thus concentrated, made a retrograde movement, leaving their . heavy artil lery behind them, as well as every thing else that could 'encumber their retreat. • Several prisoners were taken by the Spaniards, some wounded men had also been picked up, and they were bringing in a few stragglers who had hid themselves in woods and houses in the neighbourhood, and the pic ture they give of the loss of the French in killed and wounded almost exceeds belief. General de Bourck, in fact, advanced on l'orenea with a firm determination to take the place by assault. toile qai coute, unaware, no doubt, of the difficulties of the enterprise, and be sides ignor.ttit of the additional preparations for defence, I rendered extremely effective, although done in the harry of the moment. After.° e trial made on the place on the 15th, many of the "French officers were of opi nion that the attack was ton I assrdous with so small a force (it did not exceed 5,00(1 own); hut General de Bourck ronsidered that to desist from the enterprise, after the expeetations raised, world in a moral point of view have an effect mealy as bad as • defeat, besides Implicating the character of the Bourbon lilies. He overruled the opinion of his officers, and the next day. the 16th, he ordered the attack to be made with his whole strength. A considerable qnanti.y of brandy was distributed to.each man, and ineensittle of the heavy fire to which they were exposed, they rushed on to the attack, and by the grape shut from the l.atilements were mowed down in numbers. So savage and intoxicated were the French soldiers in the heat of the action ; so incessant were the confers to advance, that a serjeant with a party of right or ten men outstripped their comrades and entered the Spanish breastworks, where, when they were forced to surrender, they were totally insensible of their Meer as well as astonished at the:new voices they beard, being perfectly intoxicated. CADIZ. The Far! of Wellington packet arrived yesterday in the river from Cadiz, which port she left the 14th inst. The commander, Captain Simpson, states, that at the time he left the utmost determination prevailed among all classes to defend the Coustitution to the last. There were in the Isla 22,000 troops, all in good Order, and the cite of Cadia was full of militia and volunteers.— An order has just been issued by the Governor of Cadiz 'for every inhabitant to provide himself with six months provisions, and for those who could not do so to quit the town; and for all foreigners who could not give a satis factory account of themselves to quoit the town in 24 hours. Captain Simpson states, that among all descrip tions of persons there appeared to be nothing but one general sentiment of unanimity, and a conviction that the French would never succeed in their attempts against the place. The Government was in great want of money, and the troops were not regularly paid, but thev submit. ted with great patience. The King did not leave the Palace in which he resided.—'Phu French Admiral, who was off Cadiz, had given ;mite that no ships should be allowed to quit the port, which might clear out after the 15th inst.; in consequence of which Capt. Simpson was obliged to leave withont completing his loading. The French squadron consisted of two line-of-battle ships, `two fripies one sloop, one bark, and one smaller vessel. b rim Itrencii were stationed in Rota, St: Mary's, and Cisicland, round Cadiz. • Xxtract of a letter from Cadiz:— • _ Csois. JuLT 4.—We are now completely surrounded by land by the French, united with the rebels, and the blockading squadron has been reinforced 1 y I other ships which were at Gibraltar. Notwithstanding this increased blorkade, a quantity of small craft are drop ling in, all laden with provisions. Rice particularly is n gnat abundance; meat is not dearer than in usual times, and vegetables are brought from the opposite shore occupied by the Fiends, who dare pot disgust the coon. lry people, obo live exclusively by the Cadis market. The Feted' -lime extends from St. Lacer as far as Conn. ).,"! their rear is exposed to the Spanish forces united In Algeciras; and it is expected that General Ballasteros, who was in Granada, will come .forward—its this case there will be a fair opportunity for the troops stationed beta and in San Fernando to make a sortie. The fact is, that the French have yet no fortress of rank in their possession, and that their forces are too much dispersed. Jute s.—The easterly wind continuing, about forty small craft have entered daring last night and thisday, all laden with wheat and provisions of every kind. An .English brig, laden with cod fish, and another from itiusiyagoil, with cocoa, have also entered, in spite of the opposition of the French guns; bet another English hal., who was reached by their shot, bas been obliged 10 return to sea. JULY 6.—An English schooner was this morning near the entrance of the Ray, and under the gun shot of the Light Tower, when from the two French line of battle ships and one frigate, at anchor two miles distant, many Armed boats were ordered towards the English schooner, which put herself ander the protection of the castle, the guns of which obliged the French to return, and in this way the schooner was able to proceed with safely to the port. The inaction in which the Spaniards have yet main tained themselves cannot last longer, if they do nut ex pect that the French will re ire of their own accord, as the season of the yellow levet is approaching. This is an ' , twiny who frightens , them more than the Spuds( bayonets. JULT 7.—lt is confidently asserted that Ballasteros will mine from Granada with 12,000 infantry mid OW cavalry. to attack the French stationed on the opposite side ut Lioliz. The French Admiral, the day before yesterday, T .. « assured the Commander of the Royal George steam ves sel, that he might admit in it, and take away froth Cadiz passengers of every description, except the King and the Royal family. The French from t'm opposite place are so badly in formed with regard t the condition of Cadit, that they advised the passengers of the Royal tieorge t who arrived here yesterday from St. Lucar, to bring with them some bread, which they did. Sir William A'Court has receive I despatches from Ho vernment by the English cutter man of war. He still remains at Seville. The people are very much dissatisfied with it. RXTRACT OT A LETTILR FROM LIIRON;_3CLT 12. I returned to this place on board the Royal George steam packet, after a passage from Cadiz of thirty-four hours, the wind being strong against us during the whole time. Ido not presume to mash knowledge of interna tional I.tw, but 1 imagine it affords little conntensuee to the French Admiral, who thought proper before a block ade was proclaimed, to fire at and obstruct the vessel of a friendly power, when entering a port in the conntry, with which that power is at peace. This insult has been to my knowledge twice offered to the British flag, once in the case of the Royal George, hearing the British Mails, and another time in the case of the brig Leopold from Gibraltar, who in attempting to escape from a French frigate, was fired on from a French battery on the oppo site shore, which did not even show colours. As neither of these vessels was laden with arms, ammunition, nor provisions, there can be little palliation for the attack which was made on them. The French squadron consists of two line-of-battle ships, three frigates, one sloop, one corvette, and 22 gun boats, very badly man 41. The French army consists of from 7,. - .00 to 10.000 men, posted hetween Santa Maria and St. Lncar. I have heard French officers express great ennui at the war—the soldiers ate principally recruits in most ex cellent diatipline—the French army is concentrating at Seville. Disunion in the Spanish Government, fostered perhaps by bribery, and not the want of inclination on the part of the soldiers, has hitherto prevented them from attack ing the French. A sortie was made from the Isla by 2,000 men, who destroyed several buildings which ob structed the fire from the batteries; a few French sol diers were met vaith, who retreated. The Spaniards have 50 gun-boats preparing in the Arsenal, and say they only wait until their grinners are sufficiently eipert to attack the French fleet; a skirmish between a Spanish and a French gun-boat to..k place the other morning, the former had the advantage. Numbers of small craft are constantly eluding the blockading squa dron; upon an average for the three days I have been in Cadiz, thirty have entered each day. Previsions are in great plenty; every article. from the risk there is in sup. plying it, is much advance l in price, particularly bread, which has advanced 160 per cent., since the siege.— Provisions, principally (ruin Gibraltar, are brought in by small fishing beats, who run in, either unseen in the night, or in shore by day time under the protec• Lion of the forte. Riego has made several offers to Government, all of which have been declined. Much indignation is openly expre , sed by the leading meu of both parties against tile policy pf the English Government. The absence of Sir Wm. A'Conrt, who has not followed the King, is looked upon with a very suspicions eye. The Government, in their retreat from Seville, lost all their records; the King is miens his baggage. There can be no possible excuse, fur there was a sufficiency of time at their disposal. Three hundred cannon which were at Seville, might have been embarked on board boats, of which there was an abundance; but they were either thrown into the river, or left unspiked in the city ....this can scarcely be attributed to any thing but treachery on the part of the superior officers. The sol diers are animated with the very beet feelings for the Constitution, bat are restrained, from some palicy on the pait of the Government. Several Forei,;ners, Italians, French, Germans, and English, are waiting in Cadiz for employment. 'I he or ganization of a foreign legion under Oatmeal Lallemand is talked of. The English intend joining Sir R. Wilson in Galicia. The Cortes bare passed a decree, conferring on him the rank of Major-General, with full powers to raise 10,000 men, and appoint the whole of his officers. The Spanish Government have reduced the dii ies on English manufactnres 12 per cent. and have offered to Great Britain a carte blanche fur the forrration of a com mercial treaty. The King and the Royal Family are confined in the ei-decant Custom-house of Cadiz. His Majesty is per fectly his own master as far as relates to any ezenrsions be may be inclined to make within the walls of the city ; but in wishing to impress people with the idea that he is a prifoner, he bas not left the house since his removal— at about six he is always to be t-een with his brother on the roof of the heause--soanetimes be is joined by the other members of his family. Ors dit that he is aceirdie engaged on a new petticoat for the Virgin Mary, who is the protectress of Cadiz, which is likely to ontvie all his other performances, both in the brilliancy of pattern and neatness of execution. At the time I had the ho nour of seeing him he alas entertaining himself with the equally king-like pursuit of kitefirag. He is said to take every possible opportunity of annoying his Mb, sisters in themost unmanly manner; issuing his COMa mends to them in the most brutal language, and if be , cannot by this succeed in making them change their re-' solution, there is no subterfuge, however mean, or any trick, however dishonourable, that he will not resort to in the furtherance of his ends. Considering the com mitted state in which the whole of the Members of the Cortes find themselves, and knowing that tbeir proscrip tion proceeded from the personage they have at their mercy, it most be confessed by all parties that they have shown more moderation than many other bodies 'intl. larly circumstanced might have done on a like occasion. Forbearance such as this may. however, be exhausted. amemnsoncasao=-- The Philarbt—L:—. _ miaaelphia Uazette, lit Julie 39. contains the following statement is stated in a letter from a traveller in Batavia, that a savage has been found in the woods of the island, who must, it is thought, have lost himself in the earlier part of his youth. He now seems to be about thirty years of age, yet speaks no articulate language, but bellows like a brute; or rather barks, as his voice is like that of a dog. He runs on all fours, and as soon as be perceives any human being, he climbs up a tree like a monkey, and springs from one branch to another. When he sees either a bird or game, be catches at it, and very seldom misses his prey. As yet, he has not been able to accustom himself to the usual mode of living end food of the human species. EXSCUTION OF JOHN IZADFORD, AT EXITER.—The awful sentence of the law was this morning indicted upon John Radford, alias Bright, for the murder of Sarah Down*. From the time of his condemnation, tide wretched young man resigned himself to his fate with becoming resignation, and met his end with a degree of fortitude seldom witnessed. He was only twenty-four years old, well formed, and tie bloom of health sat upon his cheeks—even on the drop, no alteration was visible in his countenance. He repeatedly bowed to the great concourse of persons who were assembled, praying lion to bless them, and reqoested his parents mightlb in• formed he died happy. Alfred, of Moaday.—The same paper, in an account of Railford's oonfession, which he lietated on Friday, states that Sarah Duwne fell into the river in consequence of a rude which he gave her in a it of anger, and that he went down into the water, and endeavoured to get her out, but it being dark, he coold lot find her. It also appears that he dented to the last, atving ever bad any criminal connexion with her. • STATESMAN INSOLVENT DELI WKS' LOUR I'. Yesterday, the following Insolvents were discharged: —William Kersey, John Stone, James Thomson, John Smith, Thomas Dale, Charles Thomas Hanson, Tl•otnas Morris, Richard Porter, James Lamming, and James Haley. Judgments : —James Ferraro, six months imprison ment, for fraudulently contracting a debt; J tinc4 Jen nings, six swaths, under the 16th section of the Act. THIS DAT The following were discharged Proctor, Tiophiuins Ftilljames, %Valiant Fenson, Charles Wilson. AN ATTORNCY STRVCN Or TNN NOLL•. In the case of an Insolvent, whose Schedule required some explanation, Mt. Commissioner Bowen enquired for Mr. White, the Inael►ent's Attorney, who was. called to give the necessary information, but he did nut appear, nor his Clerk for his. The, Cuter CommTam:reit said, that the Court hal an frequently occasion to animadvert upon the conduct of Mr. White, and 'they had taken the opportunity of re monstrating wit?, him, in Court, on a previous occasion, respecting his absenting himself at the period of his clients applying fur their descharge, that it was high time he was struck off the Rolls of the Court. Ordered to be struck off the Rolls accordingly. Thomas Reed came up, and was not opposed ; but it appeared that he had taken his case out of his attotn•y's hands (Mr. Carpenter), and entrusted it to a person named Upsdell, who is not an attorney af this Court, and who had drawn out a brief for counsel ; this is contrary to the established rule of the Court, and called forth their animadversions. The Insolvent, it appeared, was arrested on the sth of June, when he received 301., which he placed in the hands of a person named Hopkins. who had rrp•i•l part to him, and the remainder to his wife and family, aho had expended the whole of it. In his schedule he state d, that be had only 12s. when he was arrested, and received afterwards only IL The Cum COMMIBRIONIM addressed the Insolvent and said," You have been guilty of a mod deliberate fraud, and had you been permitted to proceed in your own way, you would have been guilty of the most cor rupt perjury. it would be well I.r Insolvents to know, that it is not only necessary that they should state in their schedule what money they have in their own pos session, at the time of their arrest, but whatever :'l5l may have in the possession of any other person. Your petition will be dismissed, and you will go hack to prison, that yoar•creditors may know the deliberate fraud you have practised." Petition dismissed accordingly.

Friday night, about twelve o'clock, as two of the Bast Cuwes Preventive-boat's crew, commanded by Lieut. T. Jackson, were out on duty, near West-Cowes, they met five men with contraband spirits, and on calling them to surrender, they were instantly anrrounded by a large gang of about 30 men, armed with bludgeons, who knocked one of the boatmen down, and repeated their blows as be lay bleeding on the ground, till, thinking him dead, they threw him over a gate into a gentleman's shrubbery : the other boatman was left on the ground with his head cut in several places in a shocking man ner: the poor fellows, however, are in a fair way of recovery. By the New York Papers which arrive) yesterday, it appears that some fears were entertained at New York of the re appearance of the yellow fever. One or two cases had occurred, 'a it it was hoped timely precaution would prevent its increase. The Gazette of last night contains the following an nouncement t Foreign Office, July 29, 1828. It has been notified by the French Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Ambassadors and Ministers of Neutral Powers, at Paris, " That the French tioveroinent, has declared an effective blockade of the ports of Cadiz, Bar celona, Santona, and St. Sebastian." Extract of a leiter from a Gentleman of Glasgow: Caen, Jwty la, 1823. " In the harbour of Havre there is at present much bustle. occasioned by a great many American ships which are discharging their cargoes, consisting principal;y of cotton. The quantity of that article is so great, that it is actually piled on the quays in immense heaps, larger almost than ordinary bay stacks. The inner harbour, which Is of a prodigious size, is literally filled with tlir Frerrh ships with their masts struck, and awnings over them, laid up as useless, living to the Spanish war, which is, in this part of the country, unpopular with all ranks, classes, and professions. 1 underrand an int. mense number of workmen have ►een discharged from the different manufactories in this part of France, and that a considerable number of Englishmen, who were employed as eotton•spinners, hatters, &c. have returned home. not being any longer able to find employment berg." t DiJO:Ah 41Lit WbAVultS.

At the Borough Sea-ions held at Reading on Tn-s lay last, one man, on receiving sentence of transporteien thanked the Magistrates, and said it was just what he wished for.—(Beeks Gazette ) On Friday, Patrick M'Connick, John R e illy, Atchai I Smyth, Anthony Donovan, Mathew Donovan, Edmond Flood, and James Kelly, were tried at Trim for the rob bery of the Belfast and Derry Mail Coaches, on the nights of the 31 of January' and the 8 It of Aptil It- . when the whole were convicted. The following melancholy accident occurred on To-- day afternoon about 4 o'clock, in Pipe*?llgate, tistes head, near Newcastle. The water from a pump th re having become muddy, William Masterina4, a keelman, attempted to descend the well in whicb.it was tired, for the purpose of clearing away the sand, bat ha 1 not g more than half way down, when he fell to the 'lotto n of the well. Ills wife, who was standing rear, called bin for help, when Edward'Crone, the manager of the bate s. head gas works hard by, instantly ran to her assistanc-, and passing a noose of a rope round his thigh, went down, bet bad scarcely reached the bottom, before he became insensible, from the effects of lout air, and lost the hold of the rope with his hands. The persons at the top sot perceiving Crone move, nor receiving any answer to their repeated calls, proceeded to haul him tm by the rope, which fortunately fixed close round his thigh, and they succeeded in drawing him to the stutter, but so overcome was be with the foal fair, that he remained in a sta , e of insensibility for nearly half an hour before he recovered. In the mean time grappling iron• had been procured, and after much dithculiy, owing to his clothes being much torn, and repeatedly giving way nith his weight, the body of Masterman was drawn up, hot we regret to state, life was quite extinct. On Wednesday, the Coroner's Jdry returned a verdict of Accidental Death.—He has left a widow and four children.
