We'have in our preceding columns inserted the .Telegraphic Dispatch, (the arrival of which we noticed yesterday,) together with interesting extracts from I,he Paris Papers. From the Tele graphic Dispatch it appears that a defeat of a Spanish corps took place, not at Vich in Cata lonia, but at niches, and that it was nothing more than an unimportant advantage obtained by the van guard of Count BORDESOULT. The ad vanced guard, according to the Dispatch, was at B4Ten tin the Wth. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received, at a late hour, by Express, Paris Papers of Tuesday.—The following are extracts : [From the Quotidienne.l M. Juan de Erro, Minister of Finance of the Regency, established at Madrid, writes to M. Outrequin, Bankers at Paris, as follow : cc Having omitted in my last, of the 30th, to in form you that all the hypolhequcs, which guaran tees the Loans made by the Cortes, will be appropriated to that which is going to be raised by the Government, I beg of you to make It known on Change, because all the debts con tracted by the pretended .Constitutional Go vernment has been declared null•and void." ( From thc Constitutiouttel. The Ministerial Evening Papers announce that the Gazeita Extra9rdinary of Madrid of the 7th June states, that General Edmond Perigord had surprised, at Santa Cruz, de Mudela, and at Viso, in the Sierra Morena, 2000 men, whom they made prisoners. NEWS FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN. The Journal of Toulouse, of the 11th, pub• lisbes the following official information :•-* 44 On the 7th, at six o'clock in the morning, Mina left Osseja, Pallaw, Age, and Sasperdun, which he occupied with his force, and marched for Cardona by the mountains. lie was pursued in that direction for two hours by two French companies and two companies of the corps o Roma gosa. " Baron REYNAUD." The Echo estimates the forces united Under the orders of Mina, which marches in two columns, at from four to five thousand men ; and it is affirmed that they are accompanied by a convoy of WO to I'2o mules carrying empty sacks. PEUPIGNAN, JUNE 9.—We do not expect, un til to-morrow, positive news of Mina, either from Cordagne or Olot. In the interim, we have accounts frOm the inhabitants of the above country, who arrived here this day. Mina caused the Municipality of Osseja and Palaw to be called to him, demanding of them Provisions ; after which, he put himself in march on the 7th, by the Col de Roses. It is believed he is going to Figueres. It is also said that Mina, on his march, exchanged. troops at Cardona and See, which he is also going to do with the garrison of Figueres, and by which Mftall I he will always have fresh troops with him. .According to news received from Barcelona, that town enjoys the greatest tranquility, and is con tinually provisioned by small vessels entering the harbour. On the 6th June, an English brig appeared off this coast and was hailed by the Commandant of the French squadron, but did not obey the first or second cannon which was fired. Accord itigly, several- boats were sent after her, and brought the brig alOng-side of the French Admiral. This took place in the presence of the population of Barcelona, and the English Consul, who said that the blockade of Barcelona had not been officially announced to his Govern ment; and it is. said he immediately dispatched a courier to the English Ambassador at Seville on the above subject. The French have evacuated Praga and Bala guen. Ballasteros, who marched on Valence to raise the siege, has returned to the frontiers of A r ragon,after having reinforced his corps with 5,000 men, part of w hom were conscripts, and the remain. der old troops, by which means he has now with him 16,000 men. This General enjoys great confi dence in the Provinces of Catalonia, Valencia, and Arragon, and the Constitutionalists have great faith in him. the corps of Ulman has re tired to Arragon. PERPIGNAN, JUNE 10.—Mina entered Cam predon on the Sth with 3,500 troops. Gs RONNE, JUNE B.—We are assured that Mina is this day at or in the neighbourhood of Olot.— In this position he finds himself surrounded by several French corps, who will attack him, and destroy his army. A French regiment made all haste frbm Villa Real to Bergera c and was just in time to rescue Abisbal from the hands of the Alcade, who were just going to have him shot. Abisbal has arrived in France. A Private Letter has been received in the City this morning by one of the Expresses, which states that the following Telegraphic Dispatch had been published in Paris TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. "'PARIS, JUNE 17. " Merino has defeated the Empecivado at Meraliese. We took 100 prisoners." he same private letter alleges that the New Regency, besides disavowing the debts of the Constitutional Government, has declared that all the acts of that Government are illegal and void. The French renter on Tuesday, at Paris, were 88f. 50c. Spanish were done so low as 31, but mounted again to 36. It has been alleged that a Messenger has arrived in this country from the Spanish Regency, for the purpose of requesting its recognition by the English Government. We have already stated, several days since,' that England can recognise no Govern ment for Spain, except that at the head , of which is de facto the King FERDINAND VII. ; and we doubt not that a declaration to that effect will be the only answer given by the British Cabinet to the application of the Regency at Madrid. [Extract of a Letter from Zante, dated May 6.] ". The Greek blockade.of the Gulf of Patras and Corinth has been raised since the 20th ult.; and „Mils of Health are now granted by the lonian Government from this and the other Islands, for Patras, &c. A Turkish squadron cruizet between Zante and Patras; but notwithstanding, some piratical boats infest the passage, and have taken some boats under the lonian and, Austrian flags. As yet they have not attacked any English vessel, and the British ships of war on the station afford every protection. Several English vessels have arrived at Patras, among them the Prince Regent, Heed, and Ann." THE KING.--( Windsor, June 18.)—Yestrrday afternoon his MAJESTY, accompanied by a nume rourparty of Nobility, and his accustomed suite, drove from the Cottage down the Long Walk, and round the Little Park ; but, though the whole party continued in the vicinity of the Castle for some time, none of them entered the Castle nor the town. His Majesty drove the Marchioness of Conyngham in his fovourite long chaise, and we have hot fora great length of time seen his 'Majesty in better health and spirits thau he appeared to enjoy. After enjoying the mag nificent scenery round this delightful spot, the whole party returned to a late dinner at the Cot tage, where the Duke of Cumberland had arrived in the mean time on a visit to his Majesty. VAUXHALL.—A grand Military Fete took place at these Gardens last night, in celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. A more than usual display of brilliancy was exhi bited upon this occasion, the effect of 10,000 ad ditional variegated lamps, arranged in various appropriate devices. The music, during the evening, was principally martial; and several songs and glees were sung, which 'were composed expressly for the night. Besides the numerous sources of entertainment prepared on ordinary nights, there was a handsome piece of mechanism displayed, allegorically representing the Sun of Britain's Glory irradiating the' Duke of WEL LINGTON'S various scenes of victory. Its effect was very fine. The bullet, however, seemed to constitute the principal attraction. The piece was Cinderella, and was performed by the juve nile corps, in a style not often surpased ut the principal Theatres. The fireworks were unusu ally splendid ; and Mr. BLACKSIOIeE, when half way up the rope, in the midst of them, stood for some time on his head—a feat, the difficulty of which cannot well be imagined. The Gardens, upon the whole, displayed an extremely interest ing and delightful appearance. OVERLOADING STAGE-CO:U:IIES.-0D Tuesday George Baker, driver of Robinson's Nottingham stage-coach, from the Angel-Inn, Angel-street, Aldersgate-street, appeared to a summons, on information, before Colonel Dory, at Had ley, near Barnet, one of the Magistrates for Middlesex, charg ed with overloading the roof of the coach; which being satis factorily proved, on the evidence of three witnesses, the de fendant was convicted in the penalty of •001. The gentlemen of the whip feeling themselves aggrieved by this decision, mus tered as many persons as they could, in order to duck and otherwise ill-treat the witnesses; for which purpose parties were stationed at every outlet. This coming to the knowledge of the Magistrates, - Dimsdal, Esq., accompanied the witnesses a part of the way by a bye-road, when seeing no per sons, and thinking they were beyond danger, he parted from them. Ile had not left them five minutes, when about fifty ruffians, who were lying in wait, rushed from behind a he d g e and set up a shout. The witnesses ran ofl'as fast as they could , when on passing Hadley Church, a fellow jumped from behind a chaise and attacked them, and another fellow came to his assistance; the witnesses put their backs to the wall, and a sanuinary bat tl e too plac One of t;:e villains gave one of the g witnessess a tremen k dous e. blow with a heavy bludgeon, and laid his head open; another of the witnesses, seeing an immense mob approaching, and that their lives were in danger, pulled out his knife and stabbed his opponent in the right arm. Col. Drury being informed of the riot, came from his house with a party of gentlemen, and endeavoured to apprehend the villian who gave the blow ; but the ruffian being backed by a large mob, exceeding 300 persons, in the most daring manner set him at defiance, and afterwards escaped. The whole of Barnet was in a state of confusion during the day. The Ma gistrates being determined to enforce obedience to the laws, summoned all the constables in their neighbourhood, and issued warrants for the apprehension of the principal ring-leaders , Colonel Dory, and a strong party of constables, armed with pistols, escorted the witnesses safe out of the town.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Friends and Sup porters . of the Royal Institution in the City-road, established for the Education of Children of , all religions denominations, took place at the Egyptian-hall, in the Mansion-house, in or der to receive the Report of the proceedings of the Society during the past year. The Loan :Mayon took the chair at two o'clock, and in a short address informed the fleeting of the object for which it had been called. Ile stated, that, since the establishMent of the school, 5,197 boys and 768 girls had been eduCated therein. It bad unfortunately been found necessary to borrow a consider , able sum of money in order to carry on the school, and a debt of 400!. still remained unpaid. lie trusted, hoWever, that the liberality of the Meeting would enable the Governors to extri cate themselves from their temporary embarrassments. The SECRETARY (Mr. Wilka) then red a report of the pro. ceedings of the managers of the school, from its establishment to the present period. It appeared from this document that the children who had been received into the school during the last year had, .in addition to education, been furnished with clothing from the funds of the Society. J. Slit u, Esq., MX., after expressing a hope that the Meeting would consider it their duty to discharge the debt which had been alluded to, moved that the Report be approved and printed, and circuluted under the direction of the Commit. tee.—Agreed to. Scveral Of the girls educated in Ow school of the Royal Insti tution were here introdued to the meetingoiornii of them beat ing specimens of their ai ill in needle-work, of which the ladies present approved highly ; others rend' to the meeting some verses from the Scriptures as well as children of their age, Which was about 10 years, generally read. Mr. S.. Whitbread, ALP. ; Mr. W. Williams, M.P. ; Mr. Leonard, M.P. 111 r. Mine, • and Dr. A. Rees, moved various resolutions, the hist of which was a vote of thanks to his Royal Highness the Duke of The Duke of SUSSEX expressed the great satisfaction which he felt at seeing so numerous a m eet i ng , which was a proof of the interest felt in the prosperity of the Institution. Ile always considered that education was the best gift which a parent could give to his children : tin Institution, therefore, which facilitated the means of bestowing education upon the children of the humble classes of society was, i n hi s op i n i on , deserving of the support of every liberal mind. Ile concluded by thanking the Meeting for the honour which it conferred upon him. The M eet in g then broke up. The fri en d s o f the Institution dined in the evening at the London Tavern. •' Er AyMARKET TH EATit E..--IThe - Comeuy o f Th e Heir at Law, "one of the most pleasant of our best living comic wri ters, GEORGE COLMAN the younger, last night attracted a numerous audience to this Theatre. The characters alto gether were tolerably well allotted, and the Comedy went oil with its usual eclat, the hu morous passages exciting general merriment, and those of a pathetic nature operating with equal effect. LISToN'S Lord Duberly is too well'known ' to require any eulogium. Mrs. JONES, from the Norwich stage, was suffici e ntly characteristic in Lady Duberly. VINING, as , the phrase is, " bustled very well " through the part of Dick Dowlas, and W.WEsT gave due support to .110 me.,. spun. After this diverting and well-varied comedy, a new fa'rce was brought forward, under the title of Mrs. Smith. The plot consists of the perplexitieS which arise from two female lodgers of the name of Smith residing in the same house. One Mrs. Smith has a husband, and the other a lover. The husband and lover, in speaking of the two Mrs. Smiths, and not knowing that there were two ; excite each other's jealousy, and produce a very ludicrous and diverting confusion. The farce in itself is very en t er t a ining, and received all requi site support from Lima, VINING, Ai r s. O RDER , and Mrs. CIIATTERLEY , and w as received with universal approbation. Music. vocal performer, had a Concert last ni g ht, an d th e END Misses K Miss 1-lAnalswroN, a professional RICK kindly opened their house, in Duchess-street, Portland-place, for her advan tage. The Concert was very well supported, and of course highly gratifying to the numerous company who attended. M i ss WARRINGTON sung with great skill and ta ste. Si g nor s TO'RRI, SOLA, PA LLI A lIDIM, and Signora PA 'AJAR utst, Signora IioItGoNDIC), and Mrs. and Miss ASItE, admirably supported the vocal department. Madlle. PALLiN, Mr. DRUCOINDUAY, SOLA, awl CIANCHETTINI,' equa ll y gra tified the company on their resp ec ti ve inst r uments. The music was w ell selected. During the intervals the visitors received additional plea sure from the beautiful miniatur es of Miss EMMA KENDRICK, which we re s p read on the tables. When the concert con cluded, and the visitors on account of Miss Mea t NGTON had retired, a select party of the private friends of the amiable h os t e sses remained to partake of an elegant cold collation, in which good humour prevailed to a late hour. ROYAL SOCIniY hITERATURE. The Members of this infant Association, a rising monument of the munificence of GEORGE IV., held on Tuesday their first General Meet ing,•at the house of the Literal Fund Society, in Lincoln's Inn-fields. At half-past two o'clock the chair was taken by THE BISHOP Or ST. DA 'cm's, Provisional Pre sident of the Society. His Lordship, in a written address, set before the meeting a brief outline of the origin and progreisive history of the under taking, from its first conception, under the imme diate auspices of the'King, to its actual state of complete and effective existence. The Royal Endowments presented to the Society by his Majesty were stated by his Lordship to consist of ten Associateships at 100 guineas each, per ann., and 100 guineas for two honorary medals, to be adjudged yearly to the authors of eminent productions or important " discoveries" In Lite rature ; to which- an equal number of Associate ships, similarly endowed, are to be added by the Society. His Lordship concluded with a cursory detail of the various objects of literary research which the Society proposes to itself, and by some just observations upon their importance. The Provisional Secretary then proceeded to read the " Constitution and Regulations" of the Society, drawn up by the S'rovisional Council, to which the King's sign manuel, accompanied by the fullest expressions of his Majesty's sanction and approval was prefixed, the reading of which was followed by an address, stating more at large the grounds, upon which it appeared to the projectors that an Academy of „Literary Enquiry had become an important and desirable object in this country—a particular specification of the principles and motives with which they embarked in the undertaking—a declaration of the liberal spirit in which it is proposed to follow them up, and of their hope of final success in securing to themselves a lasting reputation, by conferring a permanent benefit upon their country. The ballot for Officers and Memberiof Coun cil for the ensuing year then took place ; and closed by its being announced that the following persons were unanimously elected, viz. : PRESIDENT. The Lord Bishop of St. David's. VICE-PRESIDENTS. _ _ The Lord Bishop of Chester Sir Gore Ouseley, Bart. Lord Chief Justice Abbott Sir J. Mackintosh Right Hon. J. C. Villiers The Rev.

Archdeacon Prosser .Taylor Combo Lsq. • Rev. Dr. Richards Rev. George eroly Rev. Charles Sumner After a motion (authorising the Council to make the necessary provisions for carrying into vigorous effect, during its first session, to em inence in November next, such measures as may be requisite for ensuring success to the labours of the Institution,) had been made and carried, and some other business respecting the regulation of the Society's affairs, had been settled, The Bishop of CHESTER rose, and began a short ) but feeling and animated speech, by ob serving, that the Meeting would ill discharge the duties of the day did it pass by the present op portunity of expressing a greatful sense of the obligations which the Society lay under to the ami able and learned individual, by whose suggestion it bud been planned, and whose assiduous care, under the encouraging munificence of its . Royal Patron, had successfully fostered its infancy.— They well knew with what an ardent and un wearied anxiety the Prelate now in the Chair had uniformly devoted himself to the promotion of sound learning, piety, and the national morals ; this anxiety had been directed, with peculiar earnestness and much success, to the formation and welfare of the Royal Society of Literature. To the Bishop of St. David's, next to Its Royal Founder, it owed every thing—that it has been conducted throught the struggles of formation— that it has been brought to its present stage of maturity—in fine, that is exists. He would con clude, therefore, by moving the thanks of the Meeting to the Bishop of St. David's, the zea lous President of this youthful, but important and National Institution. The TREASURER experienced the warmest satisf►►ction in rising to second the motion of the Bishop of Chester. As a member of the Provisional Council he could bear testimony to the zeal and ability with which the Presi dent had watched over the growth of the Society ; that associations of this kind should meet with some unfriendly feelings at their outset, was to be expected, because in every pre ceding instance such had been matter of expe rience. Some prejudices, of course, must be shocked, some interests, real or imaginary, be interfered with. The ItoyAr SOCIETY OF LI TERATURE had met with enmities in its cradle ; it had had to encounter opposition before it could have acquired strength to repel attack, lie was, however, able to congratulate the Meeting upon the promise now held out by the Society, that it would—slowly, it might be, but yet by a steady and certain progression—attain to a high rank among the great and learned Institutions of the age, and thereby confer at once, honour, and ad vantage upon the Country. The Meeting then break up. In offering to our Readers this slight notice of a Meeting so interesting to every lover of Literature, we feel an apology to be due from us to all parties for its imperfections.— From it, however, the public will be able to ga ther, that we are fully authorised by the posi tion this Society is now assuming to congratu late the friends to the grand interests of our Na tional Literature, and, Indeed, every patriotic member of society, upon the addition thus made to those valuable Institutions, which constitute the intellectual glory of England, and will per petuate her character among the nations. We have seeit with regret, and we may say with a feeling of shame, that .a certain portion of the press has shewn a worse spirit then mere Wit. ference to the great cause in which we have a common stake- - -the diffusion of learning and ciL vilization,—by sneers at a society which set out with unmixed views of serving the community, by enriching the stores of intellect. The motives of its originators have been decried before they were understood ; and a foolish endeavour has been made to overbear it with.an 'empty skew or contempt, because, in common with every one of; . ; 1 . those venerable and gigantic institutions whicit., - at this moment adorn, enlighten, and benefit.' civilised society, it has had to gather vigOur for its maturity, in the silence of its birth, and tha; l weakness of its infancy. T hoc states it has now , passed through. Glad to see it thui. launched upon public opinion, and prepared fora. the attainment of its high objects, we hope to hay-: among the first, as we Shall be among the hafy ; piest to hail its success. ~ F.l. . WILLIAM COOMBE, ESQ. This Gentleman, who has long tieen . knowit to the Literary world by his Various produe... Lions, but who has never affixed his nattte‘ . to his works, died this morning at his apart ments,. Lambeth-read, in the eighty-second.. year of his age. He originally excited great attention in the fashionable world by a Poeiii entitled The Diaboliad, the hero of which :was generally understood to be a Nobleman lately deceased. Many other Poems issued from his patiti but none ever bore the stamp of his,name.. Within the last few years, under the liberal patronage of Mr. ACKERMANN, who continued to be a getii.:%, rous friend to him till his lust moments, he brought forth a work which became very popular and at tractive, under the title of The Tour of Doctor Syntax in search of the Picturesque. This work, which he extended to a 46 Second and Third. Tour," with nearly the same spirit and humour which characterised the first, will for ever rank ; among the most humorous productions of British Literature. He afterwards produced poems en titled The English Dance of Death and The Dance of Lye, which were written with the same spirit, humour and knowledge of mankind that mark ed the other works. His last poem was The History of Johnny Qum Genus, The Little Foundling of the late Dr. S:yntax. All these works were illustrated by some admirable prints from the designs of Mr. ROWLANDSON. Among the other works of this gentleman was The Devil upon Two Sticks in England, in which many very distinguished characters at that pe riod were introduced ) and the .whole fairly entitles him to the name of the English LE SAGE: He was the author also of several political pamphlets, which made a considerable itnpres.: sion on the public, among which were The Royal Interview, A Letter from a Country Gentleman to his Friend in Town, A IV rd in Season, • and many others. He also wrote those Let ters, which appear under the title of Let , ters of the late Lord Littleton. Mr. Coomne began life under the most favourable auspices. He was educated at Eton and Oxford. lie pop , seised great talents, and a very fine person, as well as a good fortune, which, unhappily, he soon dissipated among the high connections to which his talents and attainments introduced him, and he subsequently passed through many vicissitudes of life, which at length come pelted him to resort to Literature for sup port. Innumerable are the works of taste and science which were submitted to his revision, and of which others had the reputation. A love of shew and dress, but. neither gaming or drinking, was the source of his embarrassments. He was indeed remarkably abstemious, drinking nothing but water till the last few weeks of his life, whet, wine was recommended to hith as a me , dicine. But, though a mere water drinker, his spirit at the social board kept pace with that of the company. He possessed, rnu.. sical knowledge and taste, and formerly sung in a very agreeable manner. His conversation was always entertaining and instructive, and he posses sed a calm temper with very agreeable manners. lie was twice married. His second wife, who is now alive, is the sister of Mrs. COSWAY, and possessed of congenial taste and talents. The Life •of Mr. . COOMIIE,if impartially written, would be pregnant with amusement and instruction ; but those whose . literary contributions might have provided interest ing materials, are probably most of them With him in the grave; and he will hereafter be chiefly remembered as the Author of Doctor S yx.r4sx. We ought not to conclude this article without bearing testimony to the firm reliance which Mr. CooMnE placed in the DIVINE ORIGIN of the CHRISTIAN RELIGION, and a future existence; and to the for titude and resignation with which he supported his full conviction_ of the near approach ,of his final release from all sublinary troubles. • MEIta&TILE SilifFiilNG, nl'llo[l'6l, JUNE 17,-.-IVitTa S.—Arrived Witte port the - Barkworth, Green, from Bombay, Sailed the 12th .
