lies between the city of San Fernando and the Torre-Gorda.) The - Municipality of San Fernando has an nounced its intention of capitulating with the French in order to avoid the horrors of an assault. ..At the same time Valdes stated to the Cortes that the Conetitutional flotilla could make only useless efforts for the defence , of the city. A frozen consternation succeeded the revolutionary exultation. The Cortes held a Secret Sitting, in which were only discussed the means of coming to an under standing with the 'Government as to the safety of the compromised individuals. A public sitting im mediately succeeded this, in which a Message to the King was decreed, supplicating him to deign to open uegociations with the French General, on whatever terms he should judge proper. The King replied that he could not enter into any negociation. Then followed a second meet ing of the Cortes, and a second Message to the King. The same answer was given to this.— There was a third Meeting. On this occasion there w ere present but five Deputies ; the rest were concealed, or were wandering about, per adventure searching the means of flying. The most complete anarchy was soon esta blished; however no violence was committed.— Ai length, the five members,' composing all the Cortes, and 'the Ministers, accompanied by some Officers of State, go to the King ; they rely upon the clem - ency of his Majesty ; they declare to him that , he is re-established in the integrity of his (tort( power, and conjure him to write to the Prince Generalissimo of the French armies. The Count de Conies immediately repaired with a letter from the King. It was observed that on' the morning of the Sth the militia of Ma drid had put off their uniforms, and were covered with riding coats, that they should not be known. These details are authentic, but the account goes no farther. [From flu Mote of Yesterday.] BuEltux, SEPT. 29.—Some persons who pre tend to be well-informed upon the subject, af fect to say, that the interview of the two Emperors on the frontiers of Poland, has for its object the concerting the means to diminish the influence of England in the States of the Porte and of Persia ; a first step having been crowned with success in Spain and Portugal, where Great Bri tain has failed in its project of being accepted as a mediator in the differences between the Penin- sulaand France, the Potentates of the North, they say, have a grand plan of detaching altogether the European Continent from English preponderance, which will be a prelude to the extinction of that power in India. Those persons to whore wo al lude found their opinions, on the one hand, on the efforts of Russia to extend its relations the New World ; its desire to found new COlo. nies on the expedition of Captain Kotzebue, and on the other, on the MNISUN'S of England, to place bounds to the ambition of Russia, as may be seen from its care in establishing peace between Persia and the Porte, an►l by the protection which has afforded to the Greeks and the Pacha of Egyp French Renter = . - - 91 30 buyers.

Ar tillery Company has received orders to proceed on Wednesday the 15th inst., to the New Practice Ground at Woolwich, for the purpose of she‘t ing the effect of rifle-shooting,both as regards precision and celerity; which 'we have been informed is in tended to be done in the following manner :—An equal number of men, all experienced shots, will be stationed at '250 and 200 yards from a target occupying about the space of nine men in line. As soon as the men have taken their ground, the signal to fire will be given ; the firing will con tinue exactly thirty minutes. The target will then be inspected by the Officers present, and a fac-simile taken of it in order to its being en graved and presented, in the first instance, to his Majesty, the Captain-General of the corps, and to the Field Officers. The rifle, as to precision, has ever since its introduction as a weapon of warfare, been allowed by mili tary men to be greatly superior to all other small arms. • To unite celerity with precision in the use of this arm, is the desired object of all rifle service, and nothing but constant practice in all weathers, in different situations, and at all dis tances, within the power of certain execution, and with superior arms, made upon scientific principles, will enable any troops to attain this object. Whether this degree of perfection has been attained by the riflemen of the llon..Ar tillery Company, the public trial, which is abou to take place, will shew.

Still she attbcted not to hear hint, and pursued her way, when, at length, this fiend in ,ha. . man shape, taking advantage of her unprotected situation, seized her roughly with one hand, whilst he shook front a cane that he held in the other a small sword or dirk, with which he twice stabbed her in the fleshy part tif the arm i near the shoulder, and made off, leaving the hapless victim ot his brutality isro, Stride and bleeding profusely. - Two gentlemen, who came up, had the terrified and trembling girl conveyed to a neighhourr., ing surgeon's. when the wounds were dressed, which, thougly' deep, are by no means dangerous. Having swallowed some restoratives, and recovered in some measure from the agitation . i nto which the abominable ~,expected act had her, she informed the flentlemen as to the nature of the aasttolt,' and further stated, that she remembered:having been addressed by the same fellow about three months ago when walking in the linen Park, in teats equally . shocking and obscene r but that he did not then proceed. to any other act of violence. .'Sitit described the.barbarian as having both the air and idiom of a , roreigner, though his i.ress is in every respect conformahle to the English fitshion.

Sii,--The late losses in the Gulf of )inland have directed my attention to a fact, pretty well known, but I believe not sufficiently laid.down in the charts, namely, the force of the currents which pervade this gulf, and generally follow the wind: ia, ~twaeU v ar' a pci e srt t i d oel e .ftrt i ol n el t C ntyin o ose : ai e vturti P p:he i t t T tinitlat i iri n oetg t i f o loc l :ni l fr e )dyceibg ( e, j u ir ; gawt t e ' vna o trr i o,e l :ip o sn t bto l ay l i n t They draw with great violence into the Smarm; commencing extending the r n i a c r n i: l a o f means, their e course.t snl t i e le tre u e lw is ar ten d re al o ß f l tL es g t : netic rocks in the Gulf of Finlatiti, and, I am told, in that of Bothnia, which have a great effect upon the compass, and which appear but little known to our Captains • and while I dismiss generalities, permit me to refer particularly to those of Maness, to which I have been led to attend, in consequence of the loss of the James, Captain Perrier. . In the Russian charts it is expressly stated, near the island Jussari, that " here the compass arts ill," which is ti warning no human being could avoid attending to. On the Swedish charts, the self-same remark is matte in the . following words— " Hoe Familiar Cam/Nissen ;" but on referring to my English chart, liy' Illachford and Co., Tower-hill, London, 1319, which is a compilation from the Swedish charts and those of General Spafarieff, Director of the Light-Houses, I find the Swedish vrords are copied verbOtini, instead of b e i ng trans l ate d , w hi c h i s a very serious ()Mission ; especially as an old pilot assures me, that all the rocks in that neighbourhood are more or less magne. tic, and of course very apt to change, by acting on the compass, a vessel's course. I cannot learn at what distance they begia to Wet; but I shall try to ascertain this point. While every book that is published is exposed to criticism, it is a pity that charts, on which the line and fortunes of thou. sands depend, are not subject to the inspection of judges con verdant in the original languages from which they are copied, in order to prevent what is meant as a warning being turned into the name of' a place. I have further to inform you, that a beacon is erected on the very _northernmost point of llogland, .furnished with a bell, which will commence ringing on the 25th of September, in dark and hazyweather, till it clears up. To distinguish the sound of this bell from all others, it will be struck every fifteen seconds, Siy four times in a minute: a pause will then take place, during the space of five minutes, after which period, the ringing will recommence till the weather clears up or the lights become visible. The following subjects, I take the liberty of writing to yon about, are the points of a correspondence with Gen. Spafarieff. 'and which he wishes to be known : Nargin light-house is now 45 feet high, but it is the 'neon- , tion of Government to raise it next year to 70 feet, as a better guard against the danger of th e Reval stone. It is also determined to establish, next year, on the island of Fieltand, near the south end of Oesel, In die room of the pre-. sent revolving light, two common light-houses, bearing north and south of one another, that ships coming from the westward may see both lights distinct from one another. The new light. house will be erected due north of the 'present one, and will be 15 feet lower, which will be a distinguishing mark, u one will be opened a short time before the other, and will .prevent its being taken for the light of Daggemit. It sometim es h a pp ens that ships make this mistake, and by hauling ton soon to the eastward, get between Daggeroit and Oesel. The error may be instantly discovered, by having a light sots the larlavrti side, which cannot be the case if the ship is in the right phut.. nel, besides which the use atilt! lead would instantly dlaroVer the mistake, as the draught of water Is so different on ;he respective skies of Daggeruit. It is also to he remarked, that be ascertained by a cast oldie lead.
