I befoie Cadiz,' dated the 17th ult. His regiment had received orders to march immediately for Cordova, in order to reinforce the division under the command of General 13ounmowr, in conse quence of iutelligence received by BORDESOULLE, of the advance on that place by BALL4STEROS, with a force of 15,000 men. Letters of Tuesday's date from Paris, receiv ed yesterday by express, mention that according to the latest intelligence from the army of Ca talonia, it was expected that a decisive action would take place on or about the 28th ult.— MILANS, LLOBERA, and MA'NSO had united their forces at lgualnda, to the number of 0,000 men, and Marshal MONCEY had set out on the 24th from Martorell with General TIIMELIN'S brigade and 500 cavalry, to attack them in front, while Baron d' ERO LES, with his division, had left Manresa to take them in the rear. A strong corps was to be employed, during these move ments, to keep the garrison of Barcelona in check. Much speculation. has been excited .by the rumour that five frigates were to be sent to the Mediterranean, but we have reason to be lieve that it is wholly unfounded, or that any of. our naval force is to be so employed. The rumour appears to be merely of Newspaper origin. The inaccuracy, indeed, with which it was first stated, viz. as sent by "An Order of 'Council" was sufficient to render it more than doubtful, the Lord High Admiral , being allowed to dispose of the King's ships as be may deem best. We find that notwithstanding the arrival of ten Expresses at Paris from London, conveying unfavourable rumours of the French army retreat ing, the sailing of five sail of the line tor the Mediterranean, &c. &c. the price of Reales con tinues at 91f. 10c. We have been assured front very respectable authority, that a LoAN for that Cars-parr of the . French Army, the REGENCY at Madrid, has actually been announced, and that the abolition or annulment of the former . Loans has been positively; though secretly, decreed. It is reserved, it seems, for THE SUN to have the honour of being excluded from France by its G.overnmont, for having, from the first intima tion of its detestable purpose of invading a country anxious for independence and freedom, entered our resolute and persevering protest against so atrocious a measure. This invasion excites the indignation of mankind at the present moment, and will be branded in history to the end of time. It cannot, however, be supposed that THE Sox has a right to claim exclusively the honor of being prohibited by the French Government,as, to the credit of the English Journals in general, with a very few shameless exceptions, they have uniformly and resolutely condemned the Gallic invasion of Spain, and imprecated disappointment, failure, Sand universal odium upon its authors. But the French Government, after all, will be disappointed in its hopes to prevent our Paper from entering France, as we know that it is con stantly conveyed thither through many channels, and will most probably be received in greater numbers than before it issued its disgraceful pro hibition against the . introduction of such observe tions, on the flagitious aggression as naturally flowed from the free Press of this country, and which would doubtless have appeared in all the Continental Journals if they were not under the influence of despotic authority.—But the torch of Liberty is likely to enlighten the People of every country in due time, and ARUITRAILY SWAY must finally submit to PUBLIC RIGHT and NATIONAL FREEDOM. By the packet-ships Amity and Leeds, we have received the New York National Advocate to the Bth instant, and a mass of Pavers, up to very relent dates, from the princi pal cities of the Union. Advices have been received front Alexico, conveying the intelligence of two Commissioners having arrived in the capital from Spain, with authority to acknowledge the independence of Mexico; and to form an alliance between the two powers. It would appear, that the mother country has, at length, taken the first step towards the pacification of her revolted colonies. They have long been independent of her de facto, and she must, years ago, have abandoned all hope of again subjecting these rich and vowerful states to her rule. But the formal recognition of tbeir independence has been delayed longer than it ought ; and we hail, therefore, the arrival of commit:- shiners in - 141exico for this purpose, as 'an earnest that Old Spain has, at last, however tardily, adopted the wise and politic resolution of acknowledging the independence of "her insurgent Colonies in the Western Hemisphere, and thereby putting a stop to an useless effusion of human blood.— With the exception, Indeed, of Colombia and Peru, there is not a place wh ere s h e h as a single soldier. Morales,t with a small band of followers, still holds out on the Spanish 3fain ; but the intelligence from thence, in the American Papers, (which it must be confessed, is, as usual, rather con tradictory,) represents him as being so hemmed in as not to give any,immediate cause of alarm to the Republic. These l'apers contain a report, on the authority of lette rs from Monte go Bay, dated June 7, that the British had taken instruc tions of Porto Rico, the Spanish a u th or i t i es h av i ng had from their overnment to deliver it up. We know not what truth there may be in this intelligence; but, as that island is known to have been a great depot for pirates, the rumour is not improbable. We may mention, as connected with this report, that it is stated, in an Edinburgh paper of Saturday, on the au thority of a letter from Jamaica, dated the 10th June, that the British had taken possession of the island of Cuba. Whether either or both of these rumours are correct, a short time will 5h0w.......( Liverpool Courier, July 30. ) No credit is attached to the report of Captain Ptniv having got through the North.

CEL•IIC INSCRIPTION. --The. following Inscrip• tion, in ancient Celtic characters, is graven upon a stone on the summit of .11enlawers :• " Caidh mar gheibh ; • " (habit mar chaitheas ; " (.'coin—ach co dha ? " euitohnich bas." Which , may be translated thus— , " Spend what you find ; " ou will find what to spend ; " Spare—but for whom ? " Mind death is thy doom." There is no date upon the stone, but the inscription is evidently of remote antiquity; and it is somewhat strange that it has hitherto escaped the prying eyes of the curious in ancient in scriptiont.—( int:erne:: Journal.) Great preparations are making at Donington Park, to welcome the return of the Marquis of llAsTnicas from India, on his Lordship's arrival at his paternal mansion. The unexpected appearance of the Ernpeei. nado before Zamora about the 7th of July, pro. duced, as has been already stated, the greatest consternation in that place. Having learned that some of his followers, who had been made pri soners, were confined in the castle of Zamora, and threatened with military execution, he wrote a letter to the Governor, declaring that for every Constitutionalist put to death he would hang 20 priests. it is said that he has collected some hundreds of clerical and other Royalists, and holds them as hostages.

Eorrtin,-.L.i visited Bramdt.an, about ten miles from Winchester, one: day last week, to-view the remains of a Roman habitation found on the farm of Woodcot, the propertY of Mr. 611 M}: N'Xiodia. ' The rooms at present disco :vered run neatly - east and west, the principal room being si tuated at the south-west. angle; it is not large, but the Moiktiie floor is in good preservation, 'iis 'it must have existed nearly NOD ySarit, if' not more. 'The floor is composed of what may be termed is centre piece. its eompartments, and a border; the centre,_ ericonipmsed in an octagon, is the story of Hercules and Antteus, but the Earth is; represented by a female figure, who is supposed to he :holding, out her linger to re-animate Antraos, who iii..lield - Up . by Hercules, as told in the fable. There are also four warlike heads, all exactly alike. There are many lines running in various directions, but all forming octagons of different aims • the whole is surr oun d e d b y a bor der compos e d of' small b ricks,i about an inch square. This room appears to have been aired by a fire-place underneath the floor; having eight flties, to keep up a continual beat. It would seem that the tire was made about three feet under the thaw, as an arch is still quite perfect, shewing where it was made. The second good sitting room is to the north east of the former, but it would appear only to be a secondary room, as the Mosaic is not so neatly executed, but still sufficiently well to • *hew its contents; the centre piece is a Medusa's head, and round it are eight compartments, on l y fi ve of which are perfect, via.; the heads of Diana, Minerva, Mercury, Neptune and Apollo, such as we would call busts only ; the whole surrounded, as in the principal room, with a border similar to that, and to the ge neral floor of three other (apparently) servant's rooms, paved with small red pieces of brick, placed in mortar, made so well that we should call it cement. In a south westerly direction, in the same field, (but apparently running forwards,) are the remains of many other apartments, but as they run into other fields, over which wheat is now growing, Mr. lireenwoocl has given orders not to dig further till after the harvest ; in the mean time, he is building walls round the present Anti quities, over which he means to put a roof, so that they be not destroyed by frosts, which is most praise -worthy, I stn, your's, &e. A NTIQUITAS. THE NAPOLEON Alsmotits.—We are requested to state, that the Second Livraison of this important publica tion is now published. It contains among many other sub jects of great interest, the account Of the Expedition to Egypt, and the policy of the French with respect to that country:— The Battle of the Nile—Napoleon's Remarks on Maritime War, and on the Navies of }ranee and England—Narrative of the March of the French army on Cairo—the Battle of the Pyramids—the taking of Cairo—the expedition of the French into Syria—the sieges of Jaffa and St. Jean D'Acre—th e feat of Mustapha Paella, at Aboukir, & c. interspers e d w i t h a variety of curious observation s on ie Iteligmn, Laws, and Manners of the Arabs, Egyptians, Turks, Syrians, &c. The miscellaneous part comprises, Remarks . on the Campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Cirsur, Gustavus Adolphus, Charles XII. and Napoleon ; with a comparison between the passage of the Alps by the latter, in 1809, and that of Hannibal : par. oculars of the Wars of Spain and Riissia. The history and examination of the maritime claims of England, and the oppo sition made to them at different periods by France, the United Stites, the Northern Powers the armed neutrality o f t h e Northern States—the Battle of , Copenhagen —the Assassination of the Emperor Paul of Russia, &c. Forty-four Notes on the Work, entitled Manuscript from St. Helena, and that of M. Fleury, de Chaboulon, &c. &c. - . I.l.vruistu.-'—Dr. 'WILLA it, of Edinburgh, gives the following directions for bathing : —Persons of a delicate or feeble constitution should not bathe curly in the morning. Cold bathing should never be employed unless the temperature-or. heat of the body is by exercise, or otherwise, somewhat in. , creased, or even when a slight' perspiration has begun...— When the hotly has been lung exposed to exertion andfatigne, or after profuse sweating; : when lassitude, debility, and chilli. tiers prevail, the , tine of - the cold bath should be dreaded and shunned. When the body is in a proper degree of heat, undresses quickly as possible, and immerse it in the water ; remain a very short time in the water; not exceeding a minute or two, tend during the *hide time keep the body under the surface of the water, On coining out of the water, quitkly resume the ordinary dress, and u se moderate ex,!rcise to promote the re . 'turn of the heat of th e bony ; &Muss be felt, take break. fiat after bathing in the morning; or, in the forenoon, some warm soup, Notwithstanding the strong 'prejudice to the contrary, the practice of immersing or wetting the head, to 'prevent. as it is said, the blood from being driven to that quarter, is not only nnnecessary,lnt positively hurtful, as well as disagreeable. The Doctor invites to wain parison between the comfort and agreeable feelings, which the bather will enjoy, by avoiding this violent practice of to al submersion and the tingling ears, blinded eyes, and IN Mai suflbeatfon which are occasioned by soddenly plunging the h.ad tinder water. The method of bathing children in the sea by throwing them backwards into the water and plunging them head and CAM under its surface, is also severely reprobated. A Wcor INDIAN ll TM.% lIT, in.his View of the Past and Present state of Ja •melca, says,—" A hurricane is usually .procetled by awful anti certain prognostics. An .onusus calm prevails ; not a breath of wind is felt ; atmosphere is close and sultry, the clouds wild, broken, and perpetually and rapidly shifting ; at length a deep and portentous gloom gra4 dually settles and overspreads the hemisphere ; the sun, is enveloped in darkness ;• ' a deep, hollow, and murmuring sound, is indistinctly heard, like the roaring of a distant cataract, or the howling of wi n d s th roug h remote woods ; rapid and transient gus t s o f w i n d an d ra i n speedily succeed ; various birds of passage are seen hastily driving along the sky, or are thrown down by the violence of :those gusts ; even the cattle, grazing in the fields, us if instinctively aware of the approaching danger, withdraw to the thickets for shelter. The blasts soon become more impetuous; at one moment they rage with inconceivable fury, 'and the ensuing instant seem as if it were suddenly to expire. In a few hours the hurricane reaches its acme of violence—when all the winds of heaven, and from every point of the compass, winged with destruction, seem let loose from their caverns. The largest trees are thrown prostrate, orshattered and stripped of their foliage; the provision-grounds are laid waste ; the sugar-canes level Itql,to the earth, and, in the more exposed situations, torn up by the roots, end waft. ed about like chaff. Many of the dwellings are blown down, or unroofed, and their inhabitants too often either buried it; the ruins, or driven forth to perish unsheltered.—Nothing can be more appalling than the wild howling and threatening violence of a hurricane during the night, when the vivid and quickly-succeeding gleams of lightning, darting athwart the heavens, make 4 darkness visible,' and heighten the horrors of the scene." ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, the wife of a Mr. WEIGHT. MAN, a respectable artist residing at 110, Pitch. field-street, in a fit of temporary derangement, precipitated herself from her bed-room win. dow, two storks high, on to the pavem en t at the hack of the house. Th e people of the house were so horror.strurk at the circuit . ). stance, that had it not been for the presence of mind and promptitude of a Gentleman who oc cupies the lower part of the house, the lanforto. nate female would perhaps have died before as sistance was procured. Mr. Middleton, surgeon, of Titchfield-street, was called in, who, from the dreadful state of the poor women, thought it necessary to send for Mr. Brooks of Marlborough. street.
