FREN-kiK had already established his quarters at Port Sr. Mayy, his 'army occupying every part round the Isle of Leon, where the Insurgents are closely blockaded by land and by sea. Their wants are dady aug menting, as they are liturally without 'the rneans of subsistence. This situation, added to the ge neral discontent that prevails among them, will soon compel them to surrender at discretion, and of coirse will prevent the effusion of human blood. A detachment of the insurgents, which had ad vanced as far as Vcxel and Conel to obtain provi sions, had been cut off by the Royal troops, and 'were compelled to disperse themselves, and took flight towards the Campo de Gibraltar, pursued very closely by is Cot ps of Royalists, tinder the cotmnand of General O'DONNELL. The Person who commands the detachment of the Rebel troops, whose name is RtF,Go, hastily embarked at Algcsiras, and took refuge in Gibraltar. When the above accounts left Cadiz that City, as well as the surrounding . Country, was iu a state of perfect tranquillity. TILE KING'S COURT.

The Duchess received the Addresses in her drawing room at Kensington-palace. THR THEATRE.—Too Late fur Dinner is the title of a New Farce brought forward last night at Covent Garden Theatre. The plot depends chiefly on Two Brothers, Frank anti beelerick, the one full of extravagant freaks, and the other marked by set lousness and prudence. The contrast was well kept up by JONES arid CONNOR, and Miss FOOTE and Miss BEAUMONT, as well as by LISTON, BLANCHARD, EMERY, and Mrs, Ghilis, and way so autu•iog altogether that it passed muster, and will doubtless he repeated with success. Mr. HENRY HARRIS has certain)? made an nfl'er for die Dublin Theatre, to tvhicli the minor Proprietors are ready to agree, but Mr. JONES Withholds his consent. (Morning. Herald ) INCLFDON has entered into a treaty with Mr. l'A,t-LtsToN, and It to come out in the Opera of Artaxerxes, with BRANANT, and the whole strength of the Drury-lane Opera. —(dlorning Post.)

TENAX. - To the FREEHOLDERS of WESTMORLAND Said I not well, that Mr. BROUGHAM is sure of his'snug seat i n the next Parliament ? The con stitutionality of such an avowal, 1 shall not dis -I►nte with this learned person ; but he has most assuredly, and with ,most signal assurance, de. elated in . the House of Commons, that :either in a Court of Justice be shall defend a certain High Personage, or sit in judgment upon her in a higher place. 19 it Irinchilsea he is so sure of ?—lf so-, he has, as be was truly told at the last Election, no occa ,ioit for your votes. Is it West/nor/mu/ lie is so sure 01?-01)st-rye then, I pray you, how cavalierly he reckons upon your subservience to his specu lation. Ann do not forger, Gentlemen, the opi nion which this popular advocate entertains of popular meetings. The most important, the most rightful, and ►he most honourable occasion triton which British Freeholders can meet, he 'terms " the mire of the hustings." I trust, that the mire" of Westmorland is too clean to be•sullied by radical feet. noNEsTus. TO THE ELECTORS OF DEVON. )11111E. BROTHER FREEHOLDERS—The regretted event, which has brought our Parliiment so .near to its dissolution, will speedily replace in your hands. a Briton's most important function. It ever there was a time, when the faithful exercise of your privilege could become an imperative duty, it is now ; %Olen you have so touch need of honest Representatives, to defend the State against its inveterate adversaries. I would not willingly charge any man with a dereliction of his public trust ; or suppose that OUT County could have selected 'Members wil fully negligent of her interests, 01 deliberately careless of her good name. Unsoundness of judg ment is, however, almost as heavy an offence in Representative, as iinsoutittne.s of heart ; anti assuredly is as complete a disqualification. Tile man who could conscientiously think the late enactments oppressive, must as conscitntionsly have thought the proceedings which they restrain "just and laudable : I, for one, have little desire to con-tide my share in the Legislature to such a conscience. The Constitution and the Religion of England can' stanch but small chance before its operation. It may be very honest ; and so I dare say it is ;—but it is neither wise nor firm,_ while it accounts their defence an act of despotism, or their surrender an act of liberality. Upon this principle, I anxiously wish to see the great trust of our County placed with a Se nator, whose opinions are not only vecll intended but well directed. In a word—for it were idle to express this wish, or to offer this advice, without an avowed object—l desire to see it confided to Mr. BASTARD a Gentleman, too long and too well known among us to require my eulogy. His unshaken adherence to the Constitution in both Church and State, offers an abundantly sufficient pledge ; and we may rest insured, that voice -will always be honourably and "faithfully raised. Brother Freeholders, I call upon you to fol low the example of Somersetshire and Lieces tershire, and so to assert the honour of your County. Let its send into Parliament a Gen tlemen, on whom we may rely in every dan ger ; let us confide our Representation to one, who will prove himself the active champion both of the State and of the Church, against all their assailants. Tice ensuing Patlianient will have duties to perform, great and ardnimis. Di affection masks herself antler the most popular presences and Revolution hides her dagger be neath the cloak of liberty ; attacks all Religion with tinbatld rancour ; while the ad-' versaries of our pure Protestant Church endeavour to possess themselves of her sanctuary rider the promises of support, and with the purposes of sobvcrsion. In a crisis like this—and assuredly the picture is not overcharged--we need the combined ser vice of integrity, spin it, and wisdom. We shall fi n d it in Mr. BASTARD ; and by confiding to Him the most important.trust -which-an English man car► receive, we shall consult riot oily the general good of the Empire, but the particular in terest and honour of our 'wive County.

Yesterday, the.battlt bet %yeerrlielasco the Jew, and the Birmingham Youth, for .S 0 guineas a side, took place at Potter's Street, in Essex, 21 miles from London : betting in favour of Belasco. For the first ten rounds, the Jew, by aneans of, his finished science, decidedly took the lead, and se verely punished his opponent. In the eleventh round, exchanges were made between the com batants; hot Belaseo hit out at all points—had it. all his own way—and in fibbing his opponent, 11Q fell down on one knee, and Belasco, to preveur his billing down upon both, held him up, and punished Sampson so severely, that the Lids. finding -he had the worst of it, called out— " Foul !" and Painter and Shelton hastily took him out of the ring. This circumstance occa sioned considerable disturbance ; but on an op - - lineation to the Umpire, the. conduct nl Belasco was deemed fair, according to ►he. established rides of Broughton. This abrupt termination of the fight rather chagrined the numerous ama teurs, who had travelled opwardi of twenty nudes. Josh. Hudson challenAed Ned Turner for 100 guineas, to fight in May, which was accept ed by the latter. Larkin was on the ground, but nocus omen appeared for him. . .
