I have the honour to' inclose Colonel Camp bell's report upon the proceedings of yesterday, [not seat] at the point where he' was more imme diately engaged ; and his' report is sufficiently cir cumstantial, and, as far as I can judge, correct, to render it unnecessary for me to expatiate on the suhject. I received the report of the enemy's advance uponaihera too. late to admit of my preventing his occupying . that town, an.d -the ;Comandin heights on this side. The accounts of hi m s forceg so , ditlCrently represented, that having :three .hoops of the brigade absent, I thought it uotad yisable- to act against hiui until they cotild. be. re- Called ; and as the - attempt to dislodge hiM might brio g on a serious affair, on ground of which all the advantages were on the enemy's side. I was auxions 'to ecure the support of the 3d dragoon. ge-' l, ds stationed atFuente del Maestre, and to wait the report of what might be passing on the side of Usagre, before I cOnirnenced any offensive nlovetnent. Finding, upon the arrival of the patrOle from 1 1. -gre, that no enemy was in that neighbourhood, tiireeted the troops under my command (without \vatting longer for the 3d dragoon guards) to Proceed against the enemy'. They retired across th , river, which enabled me to bri,ig up the ar tillery upon the heights they had relinquished-, and to employ it with evident and very great ' effect ; and I continued my advance upon add suit of the enemy, as rapidly as I thought consis tent with the preservation of order and regularity, beyond the defile of Hinojosa ; where, from the lateness of the hour, the fatigue sustained .by the Portuguese troops, the artillery, and one squadron of hussars, I judged it proper to halt. Nothing-, could exceed the steadiness of the 9th and 13th Dragoons, the activity of the Artillery, and ,the precision of their fire, or the.good coun ' tenanee and gallantry displayed by those portions . of the Poiluguese troops, and of my own brigade, that had the opportunity of closing with and en . gaging the enemy. And I consider myself justi h-M•in estimating the loss of the latter, at the very 1 ""; st, at 45 men killed'and prisoners. With re . sect to the horses, so many were left mutilated ati ' k i;ed on the fit id, and others caught and car ;tway by the peasants, that I have no cri ' terin n which to judge of the enemy's loss in eespect, but we have 'only brought away I feel mysfilf tiarficularly indebted to Colonel' Campbell for his assistance and co-operation ;-and stiould.be Wanting ;11 justlce, if I omitted to -ex iny admiration of the conduct of the artillery under t7-ke, immediate orders'of Captains Lefibure and Whingates, and my approbation of the spirit diplayed by a squadron of the 2d hussars ) under 'major Wissel, supported by two divisions of the 9th and 13th dr ago O ns under Lieutenant Band ' Ity.,of the former, and Lieutenant 1 2,dwards of the latter regiment. . - Lt -is equpliy my duty to acknowledge the soy .v,ices 1 r t-Ived. from Cuptain Wemyss and Lieut. &renowglL, tv%io, of 'your personal staff, whose_ Zeal, spirit, and exertions, were as usual conspi: etiOns nor are the officers of my own staff (Bri-. gads-Major Dunbar and Capt.

W. YOUNG. • His Majesty's ship Horatio,Trompsten SOund, SIR, Coast of Norway, Ang. 3, 180.

N. a small sail was seen fr o m th e M as t, , thead, close in with the, land, which we discovered 'to be an armed cutter before she disappeared among the rocks. Being anxious to desiroy the enemy's cruizers, who have so considerably inter • cepted our trade in this quarter, J dispatched the barge and three cutters, under the command of Illy First. Lieutenant A. M. Ha‘kkins, who gained • • information on shore, that the - cutter had gone to a village on an arm of the sea,-thirty-five miles in land, where he immediately proceeded, and at eight A.M. on the 2d, she was discovered at an chor, together with a schooner and a large ship, which, on the appearance of the boats, pre , sented their ,broadsides with springs on their. cables. As a strong tide set the boati • to»; wards them, Lieutenant Hawkins determin ed to attack, notwithstanding their advan, k : • • ti}geous position; at nine the fire commenced on , the boats (one of which was dispatched under the 6 directions of Mr. James Crisp, M as t er ' s 411.1te, to 11°1' disperse somesma -armed inen collected on slime; thig he effected, add returned to.the atiack..before the enemy struck), and - after a most sanguinait combat they were carried in that true and galhi7!t, stile which far surpasses any comment of mine*ll its ineritwor of the characters of the brave f . ‘-- rio . ws,cmAoyed.

I lament to say that _the loss on both sides is severe, and nearly similar. ThOugh I had before bad occasion, to represent the meritorious . conduct of Lientenant Hawkins, I cannot in this instance sutficiently express my sentiments of his gallantry, as as well as that of Lieutenant Masters, Second of the Hotiatio.. Lieut. Hawkins, whO received a severe wound in the right hand when , the boats were. Advancing, and another in the left arm in the, .act of boarding, represents the Spirited and able support he received from Lieutenant Masters, who was also severely wounded in .the right arm, and I must also. bear testimony to the merits of this (Meer. The service has lost a valuable Officer in -. l'irst.Lieutenant Syder. (royal marines), killed in the act of boarding ; and that of a most amiable young man, Mr. James Larans, Assistant-Sur geon, who soon after died ()Ibis wounds. I must also represent the high terms. Lieutenant Haw kins speaks of Mr. James Crisp, Master's-Mate, Mr. William Hughes, Boatswain, and Mr. Tho mas Fowler; Midshiiilnan ; the two latter are also sevfrely wounded. The services of Lieutenants Hawkins and Alas. ters, with the pettrofficers, and the several in stances of spirited behaviour of the seamen,and marines,' well deserve the encomiums already passed.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Welled the caseby a most atFectink address to the Jury. _ _ Hannah Evans was then called : she •said she. lived servant with the deceased in the month of April last ; Edith Money was wife to the deceased ; knows Lomas, who was also servant; the.deceased. had five children, three of whom slept in the'sathe room with her; She went through the deceased's room to her own, Which was on the ground floor; John Lomas, slept in a room over the kitchen, and the other• two children with him. On the night of the 11th of April, remembered her master com ing home, she went to bed about 12 o'clock, and saw her master and mistress go - into their room ; about two she awoke, heard a great noise and two or three blows struck, which appeared to he in her master's room, she afterwards heard more blows and two 'groans, when she got out of bed and was going through the window.— ' The prisoner (her mistress) came into her room and pulled her back again into the room, put out the candle, aria told her she must' not make a noise, for there sere murdertrs in the house. They then went through the parlour and into the kitchen, where she lighted , a candle, and went, by'her mistress's desire to call Lomas; he. appear ed to be fast asleep ; she called him twice, and said he must get up, as there were murderers in the house„he told herto leave the candle and he.. would follow her down. Witness a nd Lomas then went to call one Betty Spode, who lived a short, distance_ from the house ; the priSoner, Lomas,, • said, it was very dangerous going out, and ap peared to be much frightened.. When Morning came she examined the floor, and fourp! several spots of blood, she likekvise Observed blood on the stairs leading . fron t T her master's rdotn to Lomas's. On her. cross-examination she said, that she was much frightened the next morning, and could hardlyre collect what had happened at first. She had been in bed about an hour before she heard the noise. Her mistress ordered her and Lomas to 'go and alarm the neighbourhood---never observed any nn kindness between her 46aster and mistress, nor eve' . ;aw her mistress behave 'to Lomas otherwise thiii as a servant. Her master and. mistress were laughingl)efore they went to bed, when her mis- , tress came . to her room, she said, that there was_ either thieves, mtirdererS, or robbers, in the house, but she did not recollect which. Thomas .Tim.mis was then called—he said he was called up and Went to the, houSe of the deceas ed at about half past two. He stood 'a few mi nutes in the house where Mrs. Morrey was sitting on a, chair, holding hef apron to her head. He then Went into the room where the deceased lay dead on the floor, with his face downwards, - and his left hand under his head, on axe lying by him, and the room floor covered with blood;` did not examine him; but saw 'his throat 'WAS cut from ear to car. , John Moors stated, that be went to the de ceased's house, and Lon his way there Lomas told hiM he thought 'his master was killed : he found Mrs. Morrey and her children sitting round the fire. - He asked for a lighted candle, and went into the room, - where he found the body, as stated by 'former witness. lie - asked Mrs. Money if she suspected any body ? She answered no. He then examined the door, and found that it was fas tened with a nail over the latch. Mrs Morrey sao, she supposed somebody had followed him from Northwich, where he had been at a cockins. Thomas Hall came to the hous e o f the deceased, in company with three others, and immediately went into the room, where he found him on. the floor. He perceived blood on Lomas's smock frock, and on examining the house found blood on 'the floor, which he traced into the hack kitchen, and up stairs into the room where Lomas lay. He then secured Lomas, and Mr. (groom ,a.shed him for the key of his box. He. re plied, -that no :constable had a' right to look into his box . .. When .the witness got up stairs again, he saw Mrs. Morrey take some kind of linen and '.throw it on the floor, her back Was towards him ; Mr. Groom picked up a shirt off some bags in -Lomas's room, where she had throWn it. He' , asked 'Lomas was that _his shirt ? he said it Was ; it was marked with -blood about the wrists. He, saw Lomas stripped, he hada clean shirt on, and .Mr. 'Gloom turned hi:; coat inside out ; in The inside there appeared Much blood.. Lotnas said it was his•shirt, and,he bad worn it all last week. The bureau in the parlour was open, but" did not appear to have ,been broken open. There were two small patches of blood on the sheets, which were taken into the fold: There was' a,box" by . Lomas's bed-side, Mrs. Morrey had brOken the lid of it. - :He took -out a waistcoat, all bloosiv, and asked Lomas,.was it hiS ? he said it was, and inqUired if they'kuew where it was found. John Groom lives at Audlem i was called on the morning of the murder,' and went to the house .of the - deceased. He searched the different lodging honsesin the neighbourhood,' to peek for suspi cious persons, but found none ; he then returned and, examined the parlour door, upon which no violence appeared. He looked at the 'desk, Was not present when the contents were taken Out; the lock was loose,' two screws out, one of which 'he ft:Mad in the 'desk: the bolt of the lock was shot - found a chissel amidst some papers; as if placed regularly. Witness asked :Mrs. Morrey which way theachieves came in; she said at the front door. • He inquired did she see any one, she. answered no, but she heard a noise, and thought it was in the children's room, on which she went in amongst them. As he left the house; saw Lomas in the yard, observed a small spot of blood' on his nose and waistband of his breeches ; asked Lomas where his dirty shirt was, he said he had it on ; witness told him it was impossible, for the one he had on was .clean ; be ,declared it was the one he wore all the week. He then corroborated the evidence of the former witness. Upon find ing the blood . on Lonias's shirt, witness ordered Dooley, a constable, to seize him ; he marked the shirt, waistcoat, and sheets, and gave them to Win. Hall; another constable; could swear to them if produced in Court. „ .

The wound in the throat he thought suffl tient to cause his death. Otf Sunday he was catied upon to attend Mrs. Morrey; he found her lying upon the floor, with a large wound in her -neck, proddcedby some sharp instrument ; sewed it up . and dressed it. She told him on Monday, that Lomas -had said that he was up three times in the night hefore to murder her husband. Wm.

The Judge then - passed the awful sentence of the law upon them. After sentence was passe.d, the Counsel threw in a plea of pregnancy for Mrs.-Morrey, on which a Jury of Matrons ;was immediately selected out of the Court to examine her, who stated, that to did best of their opinion, she was from three to five months gone. ;Lomas was ordered for execution on IVlOnday last. Judgment respited on Edith Morrey, until after her delivery. The,auxiety of tbe public to hear this trial was so great, that the Court was crowded to excess by six o'clock in the morning. . DREADFUL FIRE. Yesterday morning, about half past one o'clock; an alarming and destructive tire brae out in the unveiling-house of Messrs. Aolland and Son, chandlers, in Reeves's, Mews, in the rear of their house in South Audley-street, Grosvenor-square. The. fire, it is said, was occasioned through the ignorance of a nian employed by Mr. Holland; who having but a small quantity of fat hnv a large copper, tamer which was a strung tire, by which meansth4 empty part of the copper got red hot, and. set fire to the tallow inside ; the man, alanned at the circumstance; threw several pails of Water iu upon the fat, which only tended to increase the flame e,. and the fire spread with amazing rapility'. Shorzly after • its coMmencement, it caught the dwelling-house .of Mr. Horrison, and two houses occupied by Mesr4s. Holland,, in South ./I.lidity..- street, and several small hoUses in Reeves's Mel... At five o'clock, destruction seemed to await _the whole of the neighbouhood, and the utmost fear pervaded the min& 'of its distracted iphabi tants ; but by'the uncommon exertions of the fire . - .men of the severalFirc Offices it was prevented froir. spreading beyond the houS'es just mentioned, and at seven o'clock all dread of its farther extension: • was at an end. J.‘, house in the occupatibn of Mr. stytb, a perfumer, situated between the houses bf MeSsrs. Holland, had a most singular escape, not' having been,. in the -, smallest degree damaged; whilst the houses on each side Were totally coo- , sunned.---The body .of flame emitted from tune - extensive tallow . warehouses of Messrs. Holland, and the hay and straw in the stable yard, , was vast and grand in the highest degree, any: such as has not been witnessed in the metropoll, since the deStruction of Drury-Nine Theatre. A considerable number of Men of the Ist and 3,1 Guards, and also the Sti George's Regiment, and other 'Volunteer corps, attended with pronipti tuck, and 'conducted themselves in a _manner which entitles them, to the highest commennv tious. The amount of 'property .destroyed immense. The.. houses of Messrs. Stoddatt and Bolton, Coachmakers„ and the i interior ,of the residence of Mr. Parsons, baker, was akt, much injured, -and a quantity of flour destroyed.--- Mr. Teby's stables, in Reeves's Mews, were cOu stinted ; and fifty chaldrons of coals, which wevv: placed in a shed in the Mews, caught fire, aii( l . 'were burning at ten o'clock yesterday morning. The house of Madame Jaymond, milliner, was very much injured, and Mr. Owen's tin-warehouse narrowly escaped destruction it is, however, ma terially damhged. We are sorry to state,' that Messrs. Stoddar and Co. have. sustained 'a serious loss, there %vere four new carriages, and various others, with ell the other property on the premises nearly du- , stroyed'i they were unfortunately not insure:l: MadameJaymond's property was likewise not sued; and When the fire • caught ,the back part of her house, she ran up stairs for some vala , able trinkets and money which she had, and n descending, she yeas met by a man on the stairs,why forcibly took every thing from her, and muck eicape. We are happy to state that no lives w:_% lost, but one of the firemen was dreadfully inapt:lel by the falling in of the second floor. in Mr, tti,•i laad's house.
