Marshal SOVET was at Ts- Imre. with 10,000 men. and V Irma at Toledo, with i 2,000 ; but the main body of the French array was at Gesna and Arankses. The Portuguese papers give a flourishing account of the armies of the peninsula. The army of Gallicia is esti mated at 40,000; *ad another, equally respectable. is forming. The Duke of PAavra. with 1 2 . 000 , lately under norms, had joined an army of 30,000, between Salarnancha and Ciudad Rodrip. The army of La Mancha is **tinseled between 40 and 70,000; and that of Estremadurs, estinseted et upward* of 30,000. had its head-quarters at Trimillo. The army of Catalonia amounts to 40,000.

The Russian 74-gna ship, which was left behind, in the Tagus, lately took first, and was burned in that river. Gerona is the great point of attraction in the Portuguese aml Spanish Parrs. General BLAKE, it is said, after having effected its relief, meditated an attack upon the Preach at Olot, to which they had retreated from the immediate vici nity of that gallant city. The Carrier or Seville contains • diary of the siege, for the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th days of September; sad observes, that the situation of its brave defenders had been not a little injured by the exaggerated and false accounts of the events of the siege, which had been published Ly certain indiscreet writers some asserting that several convoys anti strong reinforcements hurl repeatedly entered the city, and others affirming that the siege had been raised. From such falsehoods, it says, may have in part resulted the cruel privations the citizens of Gerona suffered.

The French evacuated PlAsencia on the Ist of October, leaving behind them the English sick and prisoners, u bout they found there. • Some of the Papers, which wage a personal wader- against the Proprietor of Covent-Gardeo Theatre, have thought fit to publish a list of the names of the Growl Jury, at the late Westminster Sessions. The avowed object of these miserable agitators, in publishing this list, was to incul cote an idea that it was a packed Jury, composed of men not sufficiently respectable to perform the functions of Grand Jurors, as being -all *elected from the same district, in the vicinity of the Theatre, and consequently under an undue in fluence. We stilled, in a former Piper, that this was a false hoggestion ; respectable shopkeepers and tradesmen being the class of men who usually coin pose the Sessions' Grand Juries of the Metro polis; and it being also the custom to choose them from one and the same immediate district, in turn. In confirmation of this statement, we give, this Jay, a list of the Grand Jury of Middlesex, now sitting at flicks's-Hall, ; from winch it will he seen, that they all reside within a circle of :zoo yards, in the vicinity of the Straud, and are precisely of the maim description of persons as those who foutni the Rills at Westminster, against the Covent-zarden Rioters. But let us suppose the coot rary.—ls it not most disgusting to hear the misersible remains of the Correspooding Society treating respectable tradesmen cud shopkeepers with contempt, as totally unworthy to sit as Jurors in a Court of Justice; and wretches really to perjure themselves at the beck of ti.e Managers of Covent &mien Theatre ?—Every man of sense—every man of respectability—must detest, as far ati detestation is compatible with contempt, such base aud studious ailumity !

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. A Cure fur thi Heart Ache was performed, last night, at this Theatre, amid so much noise, that we find ourselves more inclined to seek A Carc fur the Head Ache. than to write a lengthened account of the progress of the 0. P.'s. From the beginning of the play, symptoms of riot were frequent ; and the half-prier, as usual, brought the disorder to a crisis. For the first three acts we were able to enjoy the excellent performance of Munden, Emery, and Jones, as Old Rapid. Frank Oar lead, and Rapid, Jun.; but, utter this sera, it was "chaos come again." The insurgents pushed down to the very front row in the pit, and the O. I'. budges were inure numerous than ever. Seine old placards were hoisted, awl one rattle and one horn were occasionally heard. During the ballet of Oscar and Marina, a person, in front of the stage. held up a dog, with a view of interrupting the performances ; but the row was already so Great, that even this beastly expedient added very little to it. The boxes wire more pacific than they have heels for the lust two nights ; but still there were several bloods in that region, who took their fall share in the ftin. One man, in the second tier. at. triseted the attention mud engaged the hostility of the pititee. They declared lie was the keeper of a begins). and ordered hint to go to the private hoses. After this, they turned to the parties in these hoses, and, by pointing, shouting, &c. en. desvonretl to drive their initiates away. The usual concert of yells, shoats, and groans, succeeded the dropping of the curtain. Races on the benches, sham fights, and loyal amigo, diversified the evening's entertainment. —ln deed the disturbers seem at present to think them selves triumphantly exalted above all coutroul.— The respite, in trying the actions, has given them fresh spirits, and half a year's grace looks like an eternity of ad libitum enjoyment. But time, as Shakspeitre tells flies with a thief to the gal lows, and our heroes of 0. I'. will probably find the old gentleman will not creep at a ti ii's to the day of their punishment.. At present the Ma nagers appear to be trying a new system—of south tug'--it will not do! Yesterday mrin•iNg, iIK 11ASHSTY, Prinetfiaell Ai/6137A and SOPHIA. accompanied by Lady ELY, Gra.
