" The latter, intimidated by the countenance of our troops, who supportedfor three hours a most violent firing of grape, within half gun-shot, was convinced that he would go to his rear, and withdrew his men. " Above 100 balls and a great number of bombs fell on the suburb of St. Martin alone. " We have to regret only five wounded, of the fifth light in fantry, and seventeenth of the line; which had the defence of that important point. Of this number, one is an Adjutant- Major. who was but Slightly wounded, and only four soldiers, who fall crying " Vive le Itoi !" and repeated it while under going amputation, and when they arrived at the hospital .of Ern an y." Since writing the above, we have received the following EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ( From the Moniteur of Saturday, June 28.) ARMY OF THE PYRENEES. BULLETIN. The Count Molitor informs his Royal High ness that the advanced guard of his army, under the command of General Rennemains, who had advanced on the 18th to Silla, having marched a part of the night, came up with the rear guard of Ballasteros at Algemesi, overthrew it, and arrived at eight o'clock in the morn ing before A lcira, on the Gucar. At our ap proach the enemy concentrated 10,000 men at Carcagente, and prepared for the defence of Alcera, 1800 light troops, 150 dragoons, and two pieces of artillery. General Rennemains immediately brought for ward the two companies of voltigeurs of the 4th against the houses, placed the front of the attack, defended by the head of the bridge, although the enemy kept up a destructive fire. Our Votig . eurs and four other companies at length took possession of the houses; this attack lasted about a quarter of an hour. General Ren oemains profited by the ardour of his voltigeurs, caused them to carry the head of the bridge; they advanced but a few steps to the charge, the enemy retreated, and drew up the draw-bridge. It took some time to let it down, by which the enemy profited to make their escape ; and the 150 dragoons endeavoured to maintain them selves in the Faubourg above the town, but the voltigeurs charged them, and killed a great num ber, and took several prisoners. On our side we had only five wounded. Considerable magazines, which Ballasteros had at Al cira, have fallen into our hands. On the 15th the advance-guard of the second corps pushed on in front of Carcagente ; on the 16th were at San Felipe, which the enemy eva cuated on our approach, retiring by the two di rections of Aleoy and Moxente. General Ren nemains continues to pursue them. The greatest part of the division of Pampheli Lacroix is at Murviedo, observing the road to Catalogne. 'f he Count Molitor has received news of the Royalist Chief Santos Ladron, who continues the blockade of Monzon. A report from Perpignan of the 16th informs his Royal Highness that Mina, closely pursued by the troops of the 4th Corps, commanded by the Marshal de Camp Sain t Priest, was attacked on the 14th in the valley of Ossega near l'uycerda, and one of these columns was destroyed, and he lost 600 prisoners.

THEKING.--(Windsor, June c29.)—This morn ing his MAJESTY went to Cumberlaud Lodge, to hear divine service, which was performed by the Rev. Mr. Sumner, in the private chapel of that once magnificent mansion. His Majesty went in a close carriage, drawn by a pair of horses ; in the carriage with his Alajesty were the Lord Steward, Lord Albert Conyngham, and Sir Samuel llulse.—Soon after divine service Sir Samuel llulse took leave of his Majesty, and left the Royal Lodge for London. On Saturday at three o'clock a Cabinet Coun cil was held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the 'Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Westmorland, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Earl Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Maryborough, Mr. Wynn, Viscount Sidmouth, &c. The Cabinet sat in de liberation till a quarter before five. Saturday at one o'clock the Lords of the Council assembled at the Council Office, which was attended by nearly the same numerous as semblage of their Lordships who were present the two preceding Saturdays to hear the Appeal of Lord DouGLAs against the Duke of HAMIL TON, respecting the honour and privilege of car rying the King's Crown by virtue of the title of Earl of ANGUS. Their Lordships continued in deliberation till three, when they separated, in consequence of those who are Members of the Cabinet being summoned to attend a Cabinet Council at the Foreign Office. Yesterday morning the Dukes of YORK and CUMBERLAND attended divine service at the Chapel Royal, in the King's Palace, St. James's, and heard a sermon by the Rev. Mr. SATTERTH WAITE. The anthem was, " I have set God al ways before me"—(BLAKE) ; which was sung by Messrs. Knivett; Nield, Welsh, and two of the young gentlemen. Yesterday Prince Lrovorm attended divine ' service at St. Philip's Chapel, Waterloo-place. 1 The Monileur contains intelligence•of the safe arrival at Bordeaux of the French East India ship the Penelope, on which insurances have been effected at LLOYD'S to the. amount of 100,0001. Letters were received yesterday from Oporto, dated the sth inst., from which it appears . that intelligence having arrived there of the late pro ceedings in Lisbon, a similar scene took place in Oporto, and the constitutional authOrities were removed from office. The inhabitants were. even carried so far in their zeal as to illuminate .their houses, - and to exhibit decorations in honour of the " absolute King." GIBRALTAR, MAY 23.--The Algesiras priva teers have detained and carried into that port a Gibraltar Mistico returning from Sake with a quantity of spice, and a Portuguese craft, from Portugal also, with money for this place, but it. is expected they will be released. They have like wise detained and taken into that port this day a Danish ketch and Hanoverian galliot, both from the East. We have received a letter from an Officer, dated Callao, Feb. 23, which says—" I take it for g ranted that you will have received my dispatch by his. Majesty's ship ~Alacrity—(the Alacrity has not arrived)—giving an ac count of the attack and total defeat of the Peruvian forces under General Alvarada, on the 21st January, by the Spanish forces, under Generals Camara and Valdez. The Peruvians lost every thing, even to the muskets they had in their hands, so anxious were they to run. The object of this letter is to say, that they have been again attacked and defeated at a small sea port, named Iquique, which place is in lat. 24). 13. S., long. 73. 30. W. ; it is a small seaport, near the mines of Santa Rosa. The Peruvians were defeated with the loss of 100 men, and were compelled to embark ; they arrived here to-day. The Government are at their wits end ; they have taken by force all the horses and slaves they can get hold of ; the one to mount the cayslry, the other to serve in the army.— We understand here that Chili is in great confusion. You of course know that Lord Cochrane has left them. In short, there never was, or can be, a more happy opportu nity for Spain to exert itself than now, and were they only to send out three or four frigates, and even 2,000 men, they would re-conquer these provinces in three months. At present their naval forces are very small indeed, and, what is still worse, the Government have nut one dollar in their Trea sury ; a small piece of copper, not so large as a halfpenny, goes for one quarter of a dollar. His Majesty's ship, Aurora, Captain Prescott, is lying here."—( Portsmouth Paper.) We can state, from highly respectable and en questionable authority, that information has been given, on which important discoveries have been made, within those few days past, in . the neighbourhood of Castletownroche, ing subjects of a most serious nature—and which, we 'under stand, has led to the apprehension of many in that quarter, and caused the flight of others; among both may be counted perpetra tors of former outrage, and plotters of future. Arms have also been taken, and more is expected to be taken, from those de.; luded miscreants—or given up by such as the dread of their si tuation may render it advisable to return as soon as possible to the ways of peace, and make some attonement for former transgressions. Many days will not elapse befgre we shall be enabled to give the particulars—at present we do not consider it prudent, for many reasons, to say inore.—( Cork Constitution, June 25.) We understand that in consequence of some arrests, which took place near filanworth and C,astletown roche, last week, many opulent farmers in that neighbourhood have abcfonded. The persons apprehended are supposed to be a Committee of. the Insurgents, and were taken up in consequence of some private informations given to the mutates in that neighbourhood. These Magistrates sat in Petty Sessions on Monday, for the purpose of investigating the tran saction, the result of which we have not yet heard.—(Cork Ad vertiser,June 26.) IRISH KNlGllTS.—Pursuant to a Royal Man date, the Judges assembled on Tuesday evening last, at the House of the Lord Chief Justice DA r.- LAS, in Bloomsbury-square, to determine the ques tion of the Lord Lieutenant's right to makelinights, which has for some time hung suspended between the opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor Ge neral of England, and that of the Attorney and Solicitor General of Ireland. The Chief Justice Dallas (though in his own house) and Mr. Justice Richardson, were unable to attend through illness, but the other Judges (unanimously, we believe) decided in favour of the opinion given by the Attorney and Solicitor General of the Sister Kingdom, thereby establishing •the right of the Lord Lieutenant to the privilege in question, and which we believe has been exercised without dispute for more than 500 years.—(Times.) HERTFORD ELECTION.—On Thursday last the Election took place of a Member for this Bo rough, in the rootn - of Lord Cranborne, now Mar quis of Salisbury ; 7 —two candidates appeared on the hustings--Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, of DuncoMbe Hall, in Yorkshire; Esq., and Thomas Byron, of Bayford, Esq.

Mos. Somili WILLI A ms. , —.This Lady, whose death we announced on Saturday laat, was the daughter of the celebrated Mrs. ConzstLY s, who once held so distin. guished a station in the *regions of fashion. Her mansion was called Carlisle House, in Soho-square. The premises were very extensive, and • reached to what is now called Crown-street. The rooms in thit capaciotts mansion were numerous, and were all laid out wit h great taste.--The fashionable world in general warmly p a tronized Mrs. Cor. nelye, and Concerts, Balls, and Masquerades, enabled her to live in a very splendid style. She kept carriages, and had a villa at Hammersmith. At length, however, the Iste Mr. James Wyatt erected th a t beautiful and daft sicul mansion, the Pantheon, in Oxtbrd-roati, and the tide of fashion turned in its favour. Unluckily about this period Mrs. • Comely* attempted to introduce the performance of Italian Operas at Carlisle Hou se . The King's Theatre was then under the superintentiance of the Honourable Mr. Hobart, afterwards Earl of Buckinghamshire; he applied to Sir John Fielding, w h o • too k Guiulagni, the chief Singer at Carlisle-house, into custody, and soon put an end to Mrs. Cornelys's Italian speculation. The elegance of the Pantheon, and the influence of Mr. Hobart, resent ing the attempt to injure his interest in the Opere-house, with. drew the fashionable world from Mrs. Cornelys ; her fall naturally followed, and she was obliged to take refuge in the rules of the Fleet prison. Iler son and daughter, who had re ce i ve d , , all the accomplishments suitable to the fortune which th e i r mother was expected to acquire, were then obliged to resort for ' support to the exercise of their talents. They both changed their names. The son became tutor to the present Earl of Pomfret. He was an amiable and accomplished man. He has been dead many years, and his memory is respected by his noble pupil. The, daughter after her mother's fall assmned the n a me of Williarni, and she retained it till her death, which recently occurred. Under the name of Miss Williams, tih - e w as warm l y countenanced by the family of the present Earl of Harrington, in his juvenile days, and also by the family of Mr. Charles Butler, so well-known and esteemed in legal circles. She af. terwards acted as Governess in several noble families, among whom were Lords Newhaven, Dormer, &c. At length she became companion to old Lady Cowper, who on her death bequeathed her 1001. a year. In due time she obtained the patronage of the late Queen Charlotte and of the present Prin cess Augusta, to whom she acted as a private alinonress, point ing out proper objects for Royal benevolenceand being the m ea n s of - conveying it. She established an Institution for unprotected adult females and another for the education of poor children, and acquired particular influence over her .Royal Patronesses, par ticularly the Princess Augusta, whose tuninble character is adored wherever it is known. Miss Cornelys, or Mi ss W'il. Hams, was formerly a rigid Roman Catholic, but it is said that she conformed to the Established Church a few years ago. Nobody understood the world better, or could better ad a p t themselves to its weaknesses, passions, and follies. Iter Man ners were mild and submissive. She possessed great musical talents in early life, sung with expression, and ac compan i ed herself skilfully on the harp. She was low in stature, and by no means beautiful in features. She must have reach e d h er iteventy-fourth.Year, when fate put a period to her eventful and variegated life.—ller mother died in great distress, if not actually in the Fleet Prison, as reported. The Marquis of BATH, It 111 Said, is to have the blue riband, vacant by the death of the Mar quis of SALMI/UT. _ _ _ On Tuesday last a Meeting was held at Cupar of a number of Gentleman friendly to the Con stitutional Spaniards.

It is said that the Committee, which had some time been sitting at the Admiralty, for the purpose of making alterations in the present method of Pursers in the Royal Navy keeping and rendering their accounts, &c., has finished its labours, anti the report (which occupies forty folio pages) has been sent to the Navy Board. The Committee recommend that the per. sonal pay of Pursers shall be equalized, anti they be allowed ' to draw for the same, as other officers; that, when serving in ships of 80 men and under they be allowed a premium of 50 per cent. on their balance-bills, and less in proportion as far as complements of 130 men, when such premium shall cease.; that the accounts be made less complex by the abolishment of the present forms for fresh beef, butter, &c. The Committee also recommend an increase of half-pay. KING'S TIIEATRE.—The Opera of Nozzi de Figaro, was substituted op Saturday for Ric ciardo e Zoraide, and the house had a numerous and brilliant assemblage of the fashionable world. —The Duchess of KENT, Princess Fconon, Duke of GLOUCESTER, and a long train of the higher nobility were present. Madame VEiTItIS, it seems, has been engaged for the Ilaytharket Theatre, at a considerable sa lary. She is certainly a spirited, accomplished, and 'attractive actress. ENGLISH OPERA. Ifoust.—This little Theatre, during the recess, we understand, has been en tirely re-decorated. The columns have been re-gilt in burnished gold. The upper and lower circles are covered with a rich scroll ornament in bur nished gold, and the first circle of boxes is hung with a rich green velvet and gold drapery, form ing a canopy over the dress boxes. A new ionic portico is constructing for the front in the Strand, which is to be completed within a very short period after the opening of the Theatre. The only reason that this addition was not completed before the commencement of the season, has been, we find, in the difficulty of gaining permission for its erection.

PENMANSHIP EXTRAORDINARY.--A Gentle man of Brompton has transcribed the Lord's Prayer, every letter perfect, and every w old distinct, within the circumference of a common sized pea. This rare and unique piece of micro. graphy we do not hesitate to pronounce a master. piece among the productions of the pen.— ' Kentish Chronicle. Counsellor Ltmu, an old man, at the time the present Lord Erskine was in the height of his re putation, was a person of timid manners and ner vous disposition, and usually prefaced his plead. ings with an apology to that effect, and on one Occasion, when opposed in some cause to Erskine, he happened to remark, that " ho felt himself growing more and more timid as he grew older." " No wonder," replied the witty, but relentless barrister; " every one knows, the older a lamb grows the more sheepish he becomes." At the revival of letters, such, was the high es. timation is which the works of the ancients were held, that a manuscript of the. History qi Litw, sent by Como de Medici to Alfonso, King of Naples, with whom he was at variance, eon. ciliated the breach between them , and although the King's physicians insinuated that the book was probably poisoned, Alfonso disregard►d their suspicions, and began, with great avidity, the perusal of the work. In the year 1030, the price of an ox was two shillings and sixpence, equivalent to 7s. 6d. of our money. The difference in prices in the princi pal necessaries of life, between those days and the present, is iifty-seven to one. The tenures by which lands were holden in those feudal times, furnish a very curious specimen of what were the various luxuries which they afforded. The sovereign, we may take it for granted, ,se lected the most choice.
