SQLikI QUIS DI.6gRE FALSUJI .4UDEAT LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1823. We have received the Paris Papers of Thurs day and Friday last, and have given extracts in our preceding columns. The French accounts now only prove that the invaders experience fresh resistance every day. Private letteri from Paris, received this morn ing by express, state the price of the French Funds as follows :--Rentes, 911. 50c.; Scrip, 14 1 pr. ; Spanish, 36f ; Neapolitan Ducats, 76+1. The rise in the. French Funds is attributed to the rumours of a stifposed negociation going on at Cadiz, and to purchases having been made by the house of ko'rnscuitn at Paris, to the extent of two millions and a half of rentes. Extract of a Letter from Paris, dated Aug. 1. " --44 On the 113th inst. an English frigate (I have not heart! the' name) entered the port of Cadiz, after firing 21 guns, and being answered by the customary honours from the walls of the place. The Captain of the frigate did not communicate to Admiral HAMELIN, the Commodore of the blockading squadron, his intention to enter, nor ask permission to do so. As soon as the English frigate passed the French squadron, all the ships in the harbour hoisted their flags in honour of the English navy. The news of the event was cor»- muiricated to Paris by telegraph. It has excited great indignation in the French Cabinet, and given rise to several representations to the Eng lish Ambassador. Admiral HAMEf.IN, in the first place, i. hiithly censured for having permitted the frigate to puss him without hailing it, and asking the object of its visit, Above all, it is supposed that he ought to have demanded of the Captain whether he had any provisions on board to deposit in Cadiz, and whether he meant to carry any passengers out with him. On his word of honour in the negative, he should be allowed to enter, not otherwise. Such at least is the view of the French Cabinet. Sir C. STUART has ex pressed his confidence that every friendly expla nation will be given, and here the matter rests for the present.”--(Morning Paper.) CoRtI!.NA.---Tite following particulars are from a Spanish Officer, who eaw Sir nonERT iVILSow on the 18th, and left the river of' Corunna on the 19th inst. It will be seen that in several resk)ects it is more favourablethan the accounts al ready received, tram which it also differs in regard to the continuation of the attack ; for, although the French kept up a faint firing of musketry on the 18th from a small part of their force, thereoinmeneed their retreat immediately, and on the 18th were three leagues from Corunna :—" The French advanced on the 16th about eleven o'clock, their force, accord ing to accounts afterwards obtained, amounted to over 5,000 men; the regimentawere, the 21st chasseurs, the 11th, 22d, and ,31.1 th infintr,y, one regiment of chasseurs a clieval, and one regimemt of hussars, they were supported by no more than eight field pieces. The cavalry could not act in consequence of the severe fire from the gun-boats. About two hours after the action commenced, Sir R. Wilson received a flesh wound from a musket ball through the thigh, and fell from his horse. He was immediately removed from the field. Col. Light received a wound about two hours afterwards through the shoulder. The engagement was very hot, and continued for about hours, when the French retreated on the approach of night. The Spaniards took thirty prisoners and one ()Ricer. They as certained that the French loss amounted to 600 killed, and about 600 wounded (124 cart loads). The loss of the Spaniards was not more than 30 killed and . 60 wounded. The French were all intoxicated. A pint of brandy mixed with gunpowder had been given in the morning to each man. They frequently advanced to the mouth of the Spanish guns. The French theeral Bourck, and all the superior Officers, were in the rear. Sir Robert Wilson's wound is getting better. On the i!t,h he was free from fever. Colonel Light's wound, although severe, is not now dangerous ; the ball entered at the upper Fart of the shoulder, and came out at the arm-pit. The morn trig after tae engagement the Fren c h h a d retreate d , b ut leaving about a quart er of- their force before the town. On the 18th this force was three leagues from Corunna." THE NORTH WEST E:XPEDITION.•--The follow. is an extract of a letter from Liverpool " LIvEUPOOL, JuLy 31.--A letter has been received here from a passenger on board the Earnest, which vessel arrived at Deal from Pernambuco; and he states their having spoken the /lawns, from Buenos Ayres to Liverpool, who informed them that I,:apt. Parry had arrived at Lima, or Valparaiso, with the ships conipsing the Northern Expedition. As this report may rind insertion in some of the public prints, I hasten to inform you that there is not any foundation for the information, altho' the crew of the Adeona state that such was the rumour at Buenos Ayres when they sailed. Butis there are better and later ac counts by some days than the Adeonn brings, and the letters from respectable individuals are totally silent on this most inte. resting subject, there cannot be any truth in it." The State Gazette of Stockholm (Bth July) announces the following intended alteration in the King's annual allowance. Instead of 320,000 dollars, his Majesty is to receive 420,000 dollars per annum ; the Crown Prince's Revenue is to be increased from 100,000 to 160,000 dollars ; and the Princes Albertina is to be allowed 20,000 dollars annually for pin money. r. _, FAS II lONA TILE PARTIES‘' Viscount and Viscountess Granville entertained,on Saturday Lord and Lady illorpeth. and a distinguished party to dinner at their house, Bruton-place, Berkeley..square., Sit Charles and Lady Long entertained yesterday Sir George Warrendei-, 134 rt. and a large party, to dinner, at their seat, Ilromley Hill; Kern. 1 11 rs.Fitzherhert entertained a 'fashionable circle; on Friday evening, .with .a it4p:pe; &c.

The will is dated the 15th February, 1823. The Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, and their son and heir, Earl Rawdon, arrived on Thursday last at Donington Park, and the Noble Trio were received by his. Lordship's tenantry with every demonstration of joy. The Duke of '4 ellington haa joined the distinguished circle at Cheltenham Spa, and his Grace has already experienced considerable benefit from taking the waters. Lord Grenville has left Dropmore, to try.the waters at Mart lock in Derbyshire. HAYMARKET THEATRE.--,04 SatOrdaY the Opera. .originally styled The Spanish Barbee, and which was one of the most popular dranias at this Theatre in the time of the elder'Cootis, was revived on Saturday last, but with ditferent music, under the title of The Barber of LISTON'S Figaro, and Miss PATO' N'S Rathid, were the chief props of the piece, which, how ever, was altogether well received.—lt was followed by Twelve Precisely, a dramatic sketch which enables Mrs. CHATTEL:LEV to dis play her skill in the successful assumption of va rious characters. Mr. W. WEST supported the part of an impudent servant with real comic humour. The concluding piece was a new Farce, entitled Spanish Bonds, or Wars in Wedlock. This Theatre is so justly distinguished fur works of genuine humour that we were rather surprised to find this Farce of so flimly a nature. The talents of LISTON, and of the rest of the Per formers, were exerted in vain. The audience, to do them justice, listened with patience, but as the piece proceeded with the same insipid and hopeless tendency, it was at length consigned to the vault of the CAPULETS, though not without some resolute efforts to oppose the general senti ment of condemnation. _LISTON attempted to announce it for repetition, but the clamour which prevailed prevented him from being heard.— The Theatre was numerously and brilliantly at. tended. DEATH' OF THE EARL OF CAITUNC3II.-Died at his seat, Barrogill Castle, near Thurso, in the b7th year of his age, the Right Hon. JAMES SINCLAIR, Earl of Caithness, Lord Lieutenant of that County, and Post Master General for Scotland. By his Lordship's premature decease, his family and friends have sustained an irreparable loss; in every relative duty, as a husband, as a parent, as a friend, - .wit master, his virtues were eminently conspicuous; and it may with truth he. said, that he never lost a friend, and never had an enemy. His Lordship was for some time one of the representative , Peers of Scotland, but retired in consequence of ill health. He had been for ten years a martyr to severe and lingering illness, which he bore with the utmost resignation and composure. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son Alexander, now Earl of Caithness, and has left other children. His Lord ship married Jane, daughter of the late Alexander Campbell. Esq., of Barcaldine, who survives him. The present Earl married in 1813, Frances, daughter of the late Dean of Here ford, by whom he has a son, James Lord Beniedale, born in I 1822. Lord BAYNING, we are concerned to state, died on Saturday at Winchester, Hants, of an inflammation in the side. Weunderstand, that notices, signed by several of the most respectable inhabitants of the Town,' have been served on the Resident Aldermen of the Borough, requiring them to oblige the Non-resident Aldermen to reside within the Borough, and, in case of their not complying therewith, to amove them, and elect others in their stead, from among the Burgesses resident within the Borough. The object of this measure is, to restore the practice (which existed for centuries) of chusing Aldermen to the limitations prescribed in the Char ter ; the principle of which was confirm e d i n the Court o f King's Bench, J an . 25th, 1777, in the case of Rex v. Monday (vide Comptes Reports), wherein' Lord Mansfield laid down the dictum, that it was obligatory upon the Aldermen. to re side within the Borough, saying, " IVe all know that in some Boroughs, residence Is a precedent qualification. In fifty others it is not. Here, it is not a precedent coalitication for a Burp;ess to be elected an Alderman. All the Charter requires is, that after he is elected, he shall be resident.

ATTFMPT TO MUItDrR :NAM. HOIMOCKS, FAQ., M.P.—(Further account)—[From the Leeds Mercury.]—On Sunday last a horrible attempt was made to murder Samuel Horrocks, Esq., the head of the great manufacturing house of Horrocks and Co., of Preston, and one of the Represntatives of that borough in Parli a m ent . T he atrocious intention of the desperado was happily not fully executed, though the wounds he inflicted, and the manner of inflicting them, were of a nature to give a dreadful shock to the. stoutest frame. One of our correspondents at Preston, writing under datedf,the 30:h ult., says..." I have juat returned from hearing the exa mination of the man who yaeterday made the diabolical at. tempt on the life of Mr. Horrocks, and I thought a few parti culars might not be unacceptable to you. The first witness called stated, that as he was looking out of his window, near the gates leading to Mr. Miller's house, about one o'clock on Sun. day, he saw Mr. Horrocks coming 'towards the gates, and the prisoner about three paid. behind blip ; when, just as Mr. Horrocks was opening. the gates, he saw the prisoner draw from under his coat a butcher's cleaver, with which he struck him a violent blow on the back of his head. Mr. Ilorrocks stantly turned round, but the villain repeated his blows three or four times, while Mr. Horrocks endeavoured to ward them off with his arm ; he then threw the cleaver at his head, at which time the witness and others rushed forward, seized him and took him into Mr. Miller's house, where Mr. florrock; was also taken, bleeding very profusely from the wound in his head. The prissoner, on being asked what could induce him to commit so atrocious a crime, said, that he had made up his mind about two years ago, to destroy both Mr. HorrOcks and Mr. Miller, for having reduced wages 20. per cent. about that time ; the prisoner is a spinner, though not in Mr. Horrocks' employ); that he intend e d to h ave sh ot t h em, but never could raise money to b u y a pa i r o f pi sto l s ; t h at it was Mr. Miller he was lyi ng iii wait for that morning, as he sup. posed fir. Horrocks was confined to his house; he added, that he was perfectly in hi s senses , an d that he had not taken any liquor for the last 13 days. He repeatedly said, the only regret he felt was, that he had not completed his intentions, and that he was m o r e h a ppy at t h e present moment than be had been for the last . t w o y ears . M r . Ho rr ocks was not able to at. tend (though I am happy to say he is not consid ere d i n dan. ger) ; his clothes, we re p ro d uce d ; his shirt was complete ly deluged w i t h bl oo d, hi s h at , fortun ate l y a new and strong one, was cut through about two inches above the rim, On Wednesday the prisoner underwent another examination in Mr. Horrocks's bedroom, where he again expressed himself in the same terms as before, after which he was committed to Lan_ caster Cattle to take his trial for the offence at the appro ac hi ng Assizes. lam happy to add,.that up to the present hour our worthy representative is advancing towards recovery. The n ame of the assassin is Hiding; he is a spinner." , who w as EXECUTION.—Jonathan Cook, con. victed nt the last Salisbury Assizes of n rape, was executed on Tuesday last in front of the New Gaol at Fisherton, amid an immense CO_ n course of spectators. The end of the culprit was dreadf u l ; th e rope was not tied a s rt ought to have been ; be suffered the most excruciating pains ; two of the attendants went down " to keep him still," but it was unavailing; Jack Ketch at length mounted the scaffold, re.affixed the rope, and all was soon over.
