According .to the reports to-day, General Bourck, after the affair of the 18th at C.)runna, judged it proper to take a new position. The affair of Lorca has been very serious, and purchased with some sacrifice. It has been re marked with surprise, that the Monileur of to day only speaks of the affair before Corunna of the 15th, although it is knowp at Paris that they were fighting before that town on the 16th and 17th, and even on the 18th. The Journal de Paris announces that they will soon bombard,Sec.Corunna ; but first, they must have bombs; for in Galicia they have none ; and not even a piece of artillery for a siege. There is much talk about a sanguinary affair which has lately taken place before Cadiz. It is said that the batallions (volunteers) of Madrid have dig played great courage, and that a company of their grenadiers supported with the greatest sangfroid a quadruple attack, and gloriously triumphed.

The Cure of Cervera, in Castille, has put himself, at the head of 600 Constitutionalists. There are now tyro guerilla parties in Arragon, and three in Navarre. Atmatn,Jvt.Y 18.—Several bands of partisans (Constitutionalists) have sprung up in a number of the Communes of the province of Guadalaxura. There have precipitately set off to-day from this capital some Royalist troops to encounter them. The Guerilla of Chaleco augments daily in the This Guerilla has surprised the town of Al varez, although favoured by its strong position. The chief force of Chaleco is at Penas de San Pedro, whera it is being organized. ERNAXi, 23.—Although the French are but a short distance from Corunna and Ferrol, the public spirit in Galicia must be compared to that of Catalonia. Quiroga has all the troops of Moritio under his orders ; and Palarea has quit- ted the Asturias, to be employed by Quiroga. [Prom the Blade of Tue:day.] (BY AN EXTRAORDINARY COURIER.) PORT ST. MARY, JULY 18.-1 wrote you yesterday, that a Spanish Officer had the bravery to swim over the canal, to bring to Gen. Borde. soulle some important information. It is reported that the news he brings gives hopes of a speedy termination to affairs ; but he presses the pre sence at 'the * bate of Angouleme to be near Cadiz. MADRID, JULY s.—News of great import ance, though we are yet ignorant of the parti culars, has . •arrived at Cadiz, and the Prince appears much satisfied. Orders have been given for every thing to be got ready to march at th e first signal. It is said his Royal Highness will leave Madrid on the 28th, to establish his head-quarters at Seville ; and that the corps (:f Molitor will be united to that of Bourdesoulle. The troops of Villacampa have united with ours, under the Royal banners.— . -(Edllor's remarks.) . •f On the preceding article, the Editor of the Etoile makes the following remark :—" This movement of the head-quarters proves the error of the English Courier, in his paper of the 26th, and demonstrates that he has given false intelli gence in these respects :-Ist, That the French army was,going to retire behind the Ebro ; and Idly, That we had lost a great number of men be fore Co ru nna."] The Journal th& Commerce gives a long enu meration of the difficulties that the French army 4cperiences in Spain ; hut one of our Journals aniwers him this morning in a few lines : " This moment we hear that Ferrol, Cardona, and Lorca are taken,—that Quiroga is defeated before Corunna,—Riego before Cadiz,—and the army of •Ballasteros dispersed, and Mina shut up!!!" Price of the. French Rentes on Tuesday night, :at Paris, 91f.25c.—Sponish,36—French Scrip We have in our preeeding columns inserted some further Extracts from the Paris Papers of Monday and of Sunday last, receive►l yesterday by express. A private letter from the neighbourhood of Seville, dated the 19th inst., has been nfceived by a Gentleman who was in a high capacity in Spain during the Peninsular war, which represents the opposition preparing by the Spa niards in Andalusia against the French as most formidable. The country swarms with guerillas, .or rather troops acting as such, which cut off all detachments from the divisions under Generals 13ougncsouLLE and Bounstosyr, inter cept their communications and supplies of mo ney, stores, B:c., and, i►► short, harass them so vigorously and incessantly, that those Gene rals have been obliged to concentrate each his respective division. A more systematic plan, on a large scale, is arranging for attacking the French in Andalusia, where their situation is det.med so perilous that their destruction or capi tulation is confidently anticipated. RUSSIA. and 11. e UNITED STATES. ( From the National Intelligencer,June3o.) A paragraph is circulating in most of the news papers throughout the Union, purporting to be an extract of a letter from Washington, and im porting that the Russian Imperial Ukase of Sep tember, 1821, had been revoked. This statemen t . is not correct. We und e rst an d t h at , at t h e pro posal of his Imperial Majesty's Government, re c“ntly made, the Minister of the United States at St. Petersburgh will be furnished with powers and instructions to confer with the Russian Ca binet for the adjustment, to the satisfaction of all parties, of their conflicting claims in relation to the north-west coast of America : and from the well known moderation and regard to justice of the Emperor Alexander, no less than from the friendly dispositions towards the United States, so long and so constantly manifested by him, there is reason to expect that this adjustment will be accomplished in a manner satisfactory to him, and at the same time consistent with all the rights of this nation. In the mean time, it is believed that the commanders of the Russian armed vessels upon the coast have received orders, which will obviate any further immediate collision with the commerce and navigation of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. THE ARMY: MILITARY RECORD OF TILE LATE GENERAL SIR CHARLES ASGYLL S Sir Charles Asgyll entered the service oh the 27th of Feb. 1778, as an Ensign in the Ist Foot Guards, and obtained a Lieutenancy, with the rank of Captain, in the same Regiment, on the 3d of February, 1781. He went to America in 17n1, joined the army under the command of the Marquis Cornwallis, served the whole of the campaigns, was taken prisoner with the army in October, 1781, at the siege of York Town, in Virginia, ' and sent up th e countr y, w h ere h e rema i ne d t ill May, 1782 at which period all the Captains of that army were or d ere d by Gen. Washington to assemble and draw, lots that one might be se lected to suffer death by way of retaliation. The lot fell on Sir Charles Argyll, and he-was in consequence conveyed, under a strong escort, to the place intended for his execution in the Jerseys, where he remained in prison, enduring peculiar hard ships for the space of six months, expecting daily that his ex ecution would take place. Sir Charles was unexpectedly released from his confinement-by an Act of Congress, passed at the inter cession of the Court of France. He returned to England on parole, and shortly after went to Paris to make his acknowledg• ments to the Queen of France, for havin g save d hi s life. He was soon after appointed Equerry to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and promoted on the 3d of M arc h, 1790, to a Company in the Guards, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He was ordered, towards the end of 1793, to the Continent, joined the army under the Duke of York, served the campaign in Flanders, was present during the whole of the retreat through Holland in the severe winter of 1794, and subsequently returned to England. lie received the rank of Colonel on the 20th Feb. 1795, and commanded a battalion of the Guards the same year at Warley Camp. He was appointed, in 1797, Brigadier-Gene rid on the Staff in Ireland ; received the rank of Major-General the Ist Jan. 1793, and was very actively employed during the rebellion of that year. He was appointed Colonel of the 46th Foot the 9th May, 1800, and placed in the command of the ear. rison of Dublin, and occasionally of the Camps of Instruction. which .were formed on the Curragh. He was advanced to the rank of Lieutenant-General the Ist Jan. 1806, and appointed Colonel of the sth West India Regiment in February, 1806. He obtained the Colonelcy of the 85th Foot in October, 1806, and that of the 11th Foot on the 25th February, 1807, for which Regiment he raised a2d battalion in the space of six months. Sir Charles Asgyll continued on the Staff till 1812, and WAS promoted on the 4th June, 1814, to the rank of General. LEEDS, JULY 29.—We understand that the 3d Dragoon Guards (recently arrived in our barracks,) are, this week, to change quarters with the cavalry at p resent stat i oned at Alan cheater.—The Yorkshire Hussars, under Lord Grantham's command, assembled on the Ist of August, at Pontefract, for eight days. The regiment will be reviewed along with the Royal Horse Artillery stationed at Pontefract, by Gen. Sir John Byng, on Thursday the 7th of Attgost, about 11 o'clock, in the Park.—The rout of the lit (Royal) Regiment of Dragoons has been changed. It was directed, at first, to proceed to Man chester, but it has been subsequently ordered to mar c h to Y or k, where the Regiment will arrive to-day. WINDSOR, Jura , 30.—0 n Monday Windsor Castle was again honoured with the presence of the Sovereign ; but his MAJESTY staid but a short time. The same day the Earl and Countess Cowper, who have been visiting his MAJ EsTY since Thurkday last, took leave.-1t is supposed that his MAJESTY, now that his company is nearly all gone, will go to town on Friday or Sa turday next ; but the journey to Portsmouth is still undetermined ; if the weather dots not change for the better very soon, it will be con sidered too late in the season for his MAJESTY to go to sea this year.

Another Grand Fete was given here yesterday, after the grand sailing match for a subscription cup and cover, under the patronage of the Proprietors of Vauxhall. The decorations of the Gardens were happily varied, so na to assume a nautical character on this occasion. In additiou to the-display of na tional ensigns which we noticed last week, two Union Jacks, an d the St. George's Jack were ex hibi te d in variegated lamps, and a large ship was beautifully represented i n t h e same way, with the truly British sentiment, "Our Country's Pride," inscribed be neath. In the eau rseof the evening some novel melodies were sung. Ye Gentlemen of England" was given in very fine style, and called forth thunders of - applause ; as did " Rule Britannia." The other parts of the Concert were equally successful : and though we had again to lament the unfavourable state of the weather, the attendance was numerous and genteel. At eleven o'clock the large silver cup, the prize of the sailing match, was iven to the winner, Mr..Brockelbank, of the St. George yacht. Ilia was a very elegant vase, weighing sixty-one ounces, and standing not less that eighteen or twenty inches high. It was decorated with much elegant engraving. On one side the King's arms executed in a very spirited manner appeared, and on the other the following commemorative inscription : " Subscription Cup sailed for by Gentlemen's pleasure yes. eels, from Blackfriars Bridge to Putney, and back to Cumber land Gardens, July 30, 1023, and presented by his Majesty's Coronation Sailing Society, under the especial patronage of the Proprietors of the ltoyal Gardens, Vauxhall, to the winner, William Brockelbank. " EDWARD NETTLEFOLD, Steward." At the commencement of the ,third Act of the Concert, the Band struck up " See the Conquering Hero cornea," when Mr. Brockelbank, the Captain of the St. George, came forward, and wan presented with the Cup and Cover by Mr. Mallinson, who addressed him as follows : " In the name of the Proprietors of the Royal Gardens Vauxhall, and the Gentlemen composing his Majesty's Coro. nation Sailing Society, I present you with this cup and cover; and I am further desired to drink to your health, happiness, and long life, in which I shall Le most cordially joined by my Colleagues nnw near me, and we drink it unitedly with the highest gratification." The health of the Conqueror having been drunk, the vocal performers sung the glee of " Here's a health to all good lasses." The magnificent rettard of his superior skill was re ceived by the winner with a suitable acknowledgment, and the shouts of the spectators announced the high stitisfitction afforded by the spectacle.—The oth er entertainments were as effective as usual, and the fireworks supplied a most brilliant and en. chanting termination to the whole.—llis Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, and many persons of the first fashion and distinction, were present. FASHIONABLE PLACES OF RESORT. BRIGHTON, JULY 9 9. The display of company on the Hill to-day Was much more numerous than that of yesterday, particularly in pedes trians ; in truth, we have scarcely ever seen a more extensive assemblage of the latter in this part of the world on any pre ceding similar occasion. The Richmond, the Argyll, and the Anglesey families, were there as yesterday, including Lord Geore Lennox, who returned from the Assizes at Lewes to the York' Hotel this morning, illustrious relatives. in t4me to take breakfast with his AIAROATE, JITLY 29. Notwithstanding the hitherto unfavourable state of the wea ther, we have hero had a daily succession of arrivals by steam of from two hundred to three hundred, nor, from the re ports which reach us of the weather in the Metropolis, can our showers here be much regretted ; nor are they of any length, merely paying us on en passent salute ; and, indeed, were it not that the town is increased more than two-thirds in size, conse quently we see more frequently " Lodgings to Let" staring us in the face, we should now, from the various groups of com pany abroad, actually conclude it full, though so early in the season. The amusements are much the Same as last year. The libraries, balls, promenades, public breakfasts, donkey excursions, water ablutions, have all their votaries in full worship; even the theatre, which is generally the last amuse ment which opens in the season, c o m mence d its career on Sa turday last; and it is but justice to remark on the liberality and taste of the Proprietor and itlanazer, ,Mr..Faucit Saville, who has entirely redecorated the wh o l e interior of hi s theatre; ' the stage boxes crimson and gold, thepannels having classic designs, differ from the rest of the house, which is stone colour and green pannels, bearing alternate emblems of war, music, an ieule and commerce. The conr a nany are of the fi rs t p ro _ mend . • mend order, and the opening pieces, She Stoops to Conquer • and The Hole in the Wall, were trost ably supported. 3lrs. Saville's Miss Hardcastle increases in approval on each repeti tion, and Mrs. Collier, in Mrs. Ear,lcastle, reminded us strongly of our old friend Mrs. Toyli r, whorn Mrs. C. bids fair even to surpass, though it requires rnieli to supplant an established favourite. Mr. Saville's Thoulas; •in The Hole in the Wall, has often excited our langtter 7 -but never more heartily than on Saturday evening, since when Guy Ilfanner iag and Lover's rotes have increased the !lima of the company, and this evening the Countess Pomfret patronises The School for Scandal and Maid and Trile7.

The grand Sailing Match for a valualle Silver Cup, under the especial patronage of the Proprietors of Vauxhall, took place yesterday. According to previous arrangement, the vessels, which amounted to twelve, were sailed by their respec tive owners. They were to sail from Bleckfristrs Bridge round a boat moored near Putney Bridge, and back to Cumberland Gardens, Vauxhall. The boats were art at their stations at half-past three, ready for the signal to start. We have seldom seen snore anxiety displayed to witness this annual contest, winch generally afford, delight to the admirers of Aquatic sport. The buts, burthened. with gay eompany, were widely spread over the smooth surface of the River, whilst the Bridges, the wharfs, et:ad-craft, and the verdant banks above Westminster Bridge,, displayed an extended multitude, cheered by bands of music, and gay waving flags. The boats started at five o'clock, and made sail, led by a barge with the Members of the Cum berland fleet. A light breeze from the westward was directly In their teeth, and all obliged to work to windward. The tide was running up. One of the vessels, we believe the Swift, sustained some damage before she h a d ma d e muc h way, and was unable to continue the contest. At Westminster Bridge the St. George took the lead, and displayed great superiority in sailing. She was followed closely by the Spitfire, and a better match between two sailing vessels has seldom been seen. After an excellent trial of skill, the,St. George kept her ad. antage, and returned Brat to Cumberland Gardens at about ight o'clock In the evening; she was closely followed by the . spitfire. ENGLISH OPERA liousE.—A.s the romance whence the Melo-drama of Presumption was de rived does not come within the ordinary rules of literary composition, the ordinary rules of cri ticism are not applicable to the play. We have already given our opinion, and have character ized the latter us a tribute to the taste of the ;mes, which seems to delight in those composi- tions which strongly impress the imagination.— In this point of view its inherent nature is calculated to produce a powerful effect upon the general feelings, and therefore it may be expected to be proportionally attractive. And as the intrinsic qualities of the piece are brought into forcible action in the performance, it is no wonder that it is attended by crowded audiences. Such has hitherto been the case ; and last night most persons present seemed to be ab• sorbed in silent awe and fearful expectation. They were, however, agreeably relieved from these terrific emotions by the comic parts of the Drama, and were afterwards fully requited by the exertions of BA RT LEY, Wancu, and Miss KELLY, in the humorous Farce of Free and Easy. Mr. YoUNQ, it is reported in the Theatrical circles, is re-engaged at Covent-Garden The atre, and is to receive twenty guineas for every night he is called upon to perform during the en suing season. MATIIEWq, the Comedian, arrived at his cot. age at the foot of Highgate 11111, on. Saturday ast. Mrs. BLAND, so many years a favourite vo calist at Drury-lane Theatre, is now unfortu nately in a state that precludes the hope of her ever returning to her professional duties. We understand that during the present recess Covent-Garden Theatre wilt be completely re decorated, and many alterations made in the interior to increase the comfort of the audience. THE TOOTHLESS COMPANY.--A very old gen-1 tleman told me that he was once invited to dine with a lady of some distinction at Bath, about his own age, and where he met a party,of inmates to the number of eight, the lady herself making one. On sitting down to the table, the seven guests looked at the dinner with some surprise, there being nothing solid to be seen in any one of the dishes ; no joint of any sort, but soups, minced meats, stewed vegetables, jellies, syllabubs, creams, &c. This old lady amused herself a short time with witnessing the strange looks of her corn pany, before she explained to them the mystery. She then told them, that, having nn exact know. ledge of their circumstances, and a sympathetic feeling towards them, she had resolved to make a feast for the whole party, suitable to their con dition. That she had reason to know, that thongh eight in number, they had not one tooth amongst them all, and she had, therefore, ordered a dinner, upon which they need not bestow a thought upon the lost power of mastication. Such an odd piece of kindness, as the old gentleman told me, kept them so laughing all dinner time, that they found the toothless meat almost as difficult to swallow as if it had consisted of hones.---( Heraldic Anomalies.) ANCIENT COIN.---A few days ago there was found in a garden at Cupar, Fife, a silver coin of James the Sixth. A small bit contain ing the date has been broken off, but it ap pears from the legend to have been struck im mediately after his accession to the throne of Eng land. The obverse hears the King's head, with the Roman numerals XII. behind it, to denote the value for which it was to pass—twelve shillings Scots. The inscription is " Jacobus Dei Gratin Mag : Brit : Fra : et fib : rex." The reverse exhibits a complicated shield bearing in the se cond compartment the red lion of Scotland m ithin a double tressure, fore and contra fore ; in the third the harp of Ireland ; and in the first and fourth, smaller shields divided also into four quer ers, bearing in the second and fourth the three lions of England ; in the first three fleurs delis for France ; the bearing of the fourth in both is so much obliterated that it cannot be ascertained...- The legend is " Nemo separet Bute Deus junxit." MURDER OF ELIZABETH ANTRoNr, This morning at low water, the body of Eliza heti; Anthony, suspected to have been murdered by Wm. Dyson, as stated in* the Police Reports from Queen-square, was found upon the beach at Chelsea Reach, where it' was shifted by the tide. It was shockingly mutilated, sup posed to be caused by the friction in Ike ater. Information was ; sent to Mr. Mod, landlord of the Union Tavern, Air-street, Pic- Cadilly, in whose house she had been 'bar, maid at the time she unfortunately became tic.. quainted with Dyson, who was then waiter at the time. Mr. Hood went to Queen-square Office immediately, to consult the Magistrate how he should proceed. Mr. White, who was the sitting Magistrate, ordered him to. acquaint the. Coroner, it; order that an Inquest may be held upon the body, and ordered that sufficient time might be allowed to procure the attendance of all witnesses who knew any thing of the parties, as • it was a case which required serious consideration. —Dyson is confined in a lonely cell in the prison in Tothil-fields, and is attended day and night by two men, at the request of the Ma gistrates. All his friends are permitted to see . him if they please, but the only person who has as yet visited him is Mrs. sell, with whom he had cohabited, and to whose lodgings it: is said the deceased Eliza Anthony was to have gone en the night she had been drowned,. she not being able to remain in her oven lodgings any longer. He eats but very and maintains a very melancholy and dejected aspect. ills countenance is 170eillily sorrpwful, and he is upon all occasions completely down hearted and distressed in mind. His examination will not take place till Monday next, unless ac quitted by the Coroner's Jury. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

On the 2d of June, 1822, Mr. Runiker re-discovered is Gemini the periodical.' comet of Enck e, which has excited so much notice, and from which it appears, that the revolutions ' of this comet in 1,204 days is put beyond st . doubt. This comet was observed in 1786,179!, 1801, 1805, and 1818; and by a comparison of all these observations, he calculated two sets of elements, which represented the obervations with in two minutes of a degree.

Encke computed ephemerides of the cornet for 1822.- 11e announced that he had little hopes of its being seen in Europe in 1822, as before June it would be extremely faint, and always near 64 horizon, and in the month of June it woieol set at the same time with the sun. He added, however," that in south hit. 34 degrees, the comet, in the beginning of June, would be elevated 24 degrees above the horizon at sunset, and would then be as bright as a star of the fourth magui tole. Our readers cannot fail to remark the singe larity of the circumstance, that Mr. Rumber, who accompanied Sir 'l'. Brisbane to New South Wahl, should have discovered this cornet on the 2d ef Jnire, 1822, at Paramatta, in 30 deg. 48 min. 45 sec. south latitude.

Immediately before it was few ered into *the earth, a large . quantity of gun powder was put into the box, and the hidden ?la. The common opinirin was, that if any one at tempted to raise the body, he would he blown up. chinery put into a state of rratailless for execution. The sexton seemed to he in drend of On ittme.
