" To meet this unexpected event, I rely with the fullest confidence upon the spirit of his Ma„ iesty's subjects in this province; upon their at tachment to, : and zeal for the religion of theirs forefathers ; 'their loyalty to their Sovereign, and upon their ardent love for the true interests of their country; and as I feel satisfied that they,are not to be intiundated by the insidious offers of thetneruy, I shall depend implicitly, under Divine Providence, upon their best eXertions, aided by the courage and loyalty of the militia, and by the Valour, skill, and diScipline of his Majesty's regu lar forces, for repelling every hostile attempt that may be made upon this colony. " It gives nie'sincere pleasure to 'assure you, that the good conduct and increasing discipline Which I have lately witnessed in the incorporated battalion of militia, encourage theexpectation that they will materially contribute to this important object.

'AUG. 2.5.---=The greatly dcAred inomeqt is arrived, when we behold the haughty and in , . suiting foe broken down and bumbled even these coasts of the Penitnula. - The siege of Cadiz is raised ! The brilliant triumphs and progress of the Allied Arm, led on by the great English Ge neral, have already produced the most felioitow, results. The siege of Cadiz has been raised ani its safety ensured in the plains of Salamanca. The tenacity of the Vandal Stult, in retarding this happy moment, will in the end prove greatly ad vantageous to the common cause., • . This day at dawn commenced thepublie destruc tion of his works, redoubts, batteries, powder magazines, &c. The obscurity of the over night was not siifficient to screen his coerced determi nation, as we could hear the repeated explosions of magazines ; the light of day gave, us to behold the flight of the Vandals. The formidable work at La Cabazueia ceased to exist at one in the morn ing, and at ten *we took possession of that point, and our barks navigated the late terrible shore occu pied by the enemy. The advanee of our troops to twe, front of the line most. opportunely added to the embarrassments of the enemy, precipitating his retreat, and destroying those trains which were just laid•for the 'explosion of the remaining ma gazines. The greater part of the Int - tering non along his line were left untouched, or badly spiked. Neither have their launches been burned, but numbers were sunk : - .a great quantity of sabres and other arms were found in the salt pits.; the matting booths and infirmaries were left on fire. .Such was the confused precipitation of Souk ! On the quay, at eleven, the masters of the ves sels exultingly cried out, Who will embark for the port Dispositions will be made without de lay for that purpose ; but the enemy's cavalry re mained in the fields near St. Mary's all the morn ing, in order to cover the retreat, and to shelter the last of the redoubtable besiegers of Cadiz. However, we shall ere long see those heroes en gaged ! TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES FROM THE LINE. AUGUST 25, -from twelve yesterday to the same hour this day..—The enemy abandoned his lines, and. our troops occapied those works which were erected in Furto Real and at the Troctidero. In the Castle of Santa Catalina, no mounted cannon remain ; the carriages were burned, and the ad joining magazines and salt-works destroyed. A strong column of their cavalry and infantry hate retired to Jerez. Don Marcos Gruceta has ar rived to establish Provisional Governments in the evacuated quarters. D. Francisco Macrell has taken possessiCin of St. Mary's with his division ; and D. J. J. Martinez, Chief of the Squadron, and. that of the Trocadero, with a division of the ves sels under his command. From the Captain of the Port we learn, that a vessel has arrived from Ali(it - ,n.1_, - and a toritia with fruit, &c. The Master sl.at6, 'that "the Allied Troops had disembarked in the former port before he sailed from thence, which was eight days ago and of this he - earnestly assures him. BRALTA R PAPERS. PALERMO, JUNE 23.—The Extraordinary Pat• liament was opened, on the 22d instant, by his Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince, who re commenced to the Members to remedy the abuses which have crept into the Government of the country, and proposed the British Constitution as the pattern which they ought to follow. LITTER FROM THE , BRITISH CONSUL AT CAR- THAGENA " Cai thagen4, July 28, " I greatly lament to have to inforM you, that thq Board of Health of this city, has this day re-' ceived an official communication from that of ; Lorca, acquainting it, that in the town of Mazar ron, a place about six leagues from hence, a per son has died of a yellow fever, and others are afflicted with the same disorder. immediate pre cautions. have been taken to prevent it spreading through the neighbouring country ; and you will see, by the inclosed Proclamation, that no time haS been lost to prevent its introduction into this city, where we have hitherto enjoyed the best state of health. .(Signed) . •‘ J. AMALTER." " To Col. Rutherford, &c.;, The Proclamation is under the same date, and after reciting that an inhabitant of Mazarron has died of the black vomit, and that well-founded suspicions are entertained that others are labouring under the same disorder, denounces the pain of death against any individual from Mazarron that shall lzreak the cordon and introduce himself into the territory of Carthagena, and other severe pe nalties against such inhabitants of the. latter as shall admit or conceal them. GIBRALTAR, AUG 8.-1 n consequence of the un favourable intelligence received from Cartbagena, the communication has been cut off by land be tween the garrison and the neighbourhood, and a quarantine of fourteen days has been laid on all vessels coming from the eastward, `(the ports of Malta, Sicily, and Sardinia excepted), and of ten days on those coming from the western coast, as far , as Ayamonte, the Bay of Gibraltar, Ceuta, and the Streights included. General Afillate left the neighbourhood on the 2d inst. and arrived on the 3d it l'ilimena; General Ballasteros reached Alcala on the same day, and is now at St. Koch ; General Cruz';; division,, which had advanced froth Tariili to St. Itoch, upon Viilate's withdrawing from Los Barrios, embarked on the sth at Orange Grove, upon its returning to Cadiz. The pri soners taken at Ossura are, arrived at Algesiras, but it does not appear - that the fort was carried, as reported last 'week. GRAND HURLING LATCH.—This ancient and manly game, peculiar.to the Irish nation, will lie ptayect on - Kennington Common, on Monday next, - for 5001. by forty-two chosen hurlers. • The late Rev. Dr. O'Leary alludes to this game, when he says—" The Irish Peasantry are the best materials in Europe for an army, being, half dis ciplined by the nature of their rustic sports." — The truth of this observation is sufficiently proved by that illus'trious Irish Hurler, WELLINGTON— who, with his• brave hurling companions, is daily hurling destruction on the enemies of his country. lilveit SLANEY CLUB. On Monday last, at ten o'clock, a 6-poutuler, fired on the Quay of Wexford, gave the signal for the various Members of this Club to hold them t.elves in readiness. At half past ten, a Second gun announced that every thing was f! , epared ut7d a third, at eleven, was the signal for the whole to embark on board the Revenue barges, and boats hired for the occasion. Shortly after, the party proceeded up the river, attended by the band of the Longford regiinent, playing God sate the King, Rule Britwznid, &c.. The shores were crowded with spectatoi.s, who rep4atedly cheered. Arrived at Ferrycarrig,_ the barges of Messrs. Le Hunte,, Lees, Beatty, White, &c. joined the procession ; and the whole, under'«asy sail, proceeded from thence to Killown Cottage, the enchanting residence of the Rev. Dr. sate Dudley -44 Where, tow'ring owes his beauteous woods, " The mountain rocks were ever clearly seen, " Breaking With. solemn gre.y the tremnlous green, " And frowning far in castellated pride." In the beauteous lawn dinner was served up to seventy fashionables, with a degree of elegance and neatness far surpassing any thing of the kind ever before beheld; and the situation Of Presi dents were most ably filled by John Harvey; .gsq. of Mount Pleasant, and Capt. Ker. 'After din ner, the health of the King was drunk, the Band playing God VIM the King; " The Marquis of Wellington,"—British Grenadiers ;—" The ab sent Proprietor of the Soil ;"—" Earl Granard, and 'Longford ;"—" Lieut. Harvey " Royal Navy,"—Rule Britannia.—On this toast being given, Mr. HARVEY, in a neat, paternal, feeling, and elegant speech, returned thanks, Se veral other appropriate toasts were drunk : " And now our lawn a joyous scene became, • " Where loving hearts front distant vales.did'meet, "As at some costly festival, and greet - " Each other with glad voice and kindly name." At five, tea was announced, and dancing com menced, and continued with vivacity,And life till past nine o'clock. More female beauty and love liness were never beheld. The bugle having sounded that the hour for re turning home was come, the parties retired to their boats, regretting that the. day had passed so soon; and that _was the sixth and last of the Club Dinners for the year 1812. The 'company consisted of all the fashionabies in and about Wexford, and Officers of the Royal Longford Militia, whose melodious Band contri buted not a little to the pleasure of the day.— (Dublin.

KEMBLE is going to, perform the part of Richard the Third. The play is too popular to ,be laid aside on account of the absence of. KEMBLE and CGOE,E. A diviSion of the higher tragic .cha racters between C. K EMBLE and YOUNG will give scope to their respective lalents, and be of ad vantage to the theatre.

AMERICAN PAPtRS. NEW YOW.C,, JULY 31. MiIIMRE OF THE FRIENDS AND ADVOCATES f)i,. FRACE BY A LAWLESS MOB. The city has been iii a'state of agitkion and anxiety 'since yesterday • Morning, at the inteili cr : "w ee of another and, a more fatal mob in the de voted city of BaltiMore. The first .riot took place on I%Tonday night, be tween 12 and 1 o'clock, and Mr. Hanson, and his friends were, placed in prison as a place of security at about 8 o'clock the next morning 3 in the after noon the Whig was published, and in that Paper the villain- who eonducts it made an attempt, and alas ! with two much success, to excite the mob to re-assemble and assassinate the gentlemen in. confinement. His words were "So help • , Heaven, as our sincere opinion is, that since a band of murderous traitors -did provoke the peo ple, the people ought to hal e rased their garrison_ to the ground, and put them, every man, to death." Accordingly, as soon as the darkness of night arrived to conceal their persons, the mob did actually re-assemble ; the horrible crimes they then 'Committed will be seen in the second letter. Baltimore, July 28, 1812. " DEAR Sin,—We have bad a very serious night. The - Federal Republican was again pub lished yesterday, which I send you. About nine o'clock the -mob collected at Mr. Hanson's !utie in SOuth'Charles-street, with the intentiou of de stroyinv it. The Editors, it appears, had antici pated j 'the attack, had removed all the fur:hture i and had collected a number of their friends from. the,federal counties, among whom were Generals Lee and Lingan of Virginia and Georgetown.--- The mob could make no impression on the house,- only breaking the windows with stones. Every time they attacked they were fired upon, and two were killed, and a number wounded: Towards morning about 40 infantry and 20 horsemen - ei sembltd and lined the street in front of the house, at which time the greatest part of the noble dc fenders of the house issued out in the rear, while , thOse, more immediately concerned remained, and told. General Striker and ,the Mayor that they Were willink to deliver themselves up to the civil authority, provided their safety was guaranteed by the General and the Mayor. This was done, and the troops being formed into a hollow square, they opened the door and were marched to jail -4-- ' About the 'time the troops assembled, the mob had procured a four-pounder to fire on the hots c,. but were prevented from using it by t.e military: I am afraid the mobbing will not end here. " * The following is a list of the gentlemen who went to the prison : • . "Win. Sckroeder, John Thompson, Gen. rry Lee, (of Virginia), Wm. 8.. Bend, Otho Sprigg, Henry. Kenned‘, - , Charles Kilgore, Henry Ninson, ,John E. Hall, Geo. Winchester, Peregrine War field, Alex. C. Hanson (Editor), Geo. Richards, Edw. o..vontr, David Holtman, Horatio Biglow, Ephraim Gaither, - Wm. Gaither, Jacob Schley, Mark U. Pi*igle, Daniel aurray, Richard" S'. Crabb, James Ling-an." " Baltimore, July 29, 1812. " DEAR SIR,—We have had another dreadful night. I wrote you yesterday that Mr. Hanson and •his friends were conducted to jail by the mili tary at their own request, upon their safety from the fury of the mob being guaranteed by the Mayor and Gerh Striker. The - -troops were. ordered out for the protection of ;the prison, and to keep the peace of the city, but to their eternal disgrace they refused. About 9 o'clock , P.M. the triob forced time jail, and fell with the fury s of cannibals on 26 unarmed prisoners, and beat them with clubs until no signs of life remained, when th e y left them, thinking of had fully completed the bloody deed. Through the mercy of God, they all, in a short time, showed signs of life, except Gen. rw Lian, who never recovered, and now lies dead in the jail. Yonr friend, Mr. John Thompson, was reserved fOr a public spectacle. After beat ing him enough to have killed an -ox, they put him into a cart, and rolled him in tar and learkurs, set the feathers in a blaze, and at lest lodged him in the watch-house.—They - still keep him con fined, *his tar and feathers on him. The Mayor and otherinfluential characters of the party, have endeavoured to get him from them, but with. out effect, and it is expected they will finally fnur- der him. Gen. Harry Lee* is dead, and there is little hopes of ;t . lie lives of a number of others,— Mr. Hanson escaped the best of any ; he, with three or four others jumped amongst the mob in the lobby of the prison and escaped.—General Linger' was a man of great influence in his county : Gen. ,Lee is also much esteemed in Virginia, and I should not he surprised if their friends paid our fellspOint gentry a Hilt." ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS FROM ANOTHER LETTER, DATED BALTIMORE, JULY 29. Two Regiments were put under arms and continued so until 7 o'clock this morning, when the mob dispersed, and the military were dis- Missed. This calm was but a prelude to a more dreadful Storm, At eight o'clock (evening) the mob re-assembled in . greater numbers, cut down the prison doors; entered, and with clubs at tempted to kill the prisoners. J. Thomson was beaten and supposed to ,be dead—he was then dragged with a rope until they could obtain a cart, on which they put him, covered With tar and feathers, and conveyed him thus about the city. Their barbarity did not stop here. They occa sionally Olt his pulse, and when .they discovered the least' indication of life, they again beat his head until life was almost extinguished. This work continued until two o'clock, when they were fully persuaded to lodge him in the watch-house, when I saw him. He had then come to, and asked for a drink of water, which was.giVen to him. The mob dispersed with a determination to meet again this morning at 9, for the purpose ..Gen. Lee was, perhaps, the most distinguished partizan officer in the Atnelican war. He commanded Le 's and he it was that formed the gtillant enterprise that toc..k Paulus-Hook. And, at lenrh : ft,r ft:uttering the most sig...
