Richard Bentley, 8, New Burlington-street. " In fact, the royal flag of the Queen Donna Maria da Gloria has been flying over the walls of Almeida since five )'clock yesterday morning, by accounts which I have just -eceived (twelve o'clock) from the boundary, transmitted by a person in my confidence. " a lie examiner of passports at Barba de Puerco has in- , formed me that La Bausa, a village within my jurisdiction, Ind other places, are full of women, children, and old men, Portuguese refugees, who have come to seek an asylum, loaded with whatever property and effects they have been ible to carry with them. " The following. despatch :from G eneral Rodil relates to the flight of the Pretender, of whom the troops of the Queen Donna Maria de:Gloria are in pursuit : " Most Excellent Senhor ' —The accounts I have this day received res p ec ti ng t h e direction of the Pretender's flight confirm the statements contained in the despatches I yesterday communicated to your Excellency, without add ing any additional particulars. " The vanguard will stop to-night in Castel Branco,_ whither it proceeded for the purpose of flanking the fugi tives, of taking some waggons loaded with their effects, and of showing to the Portuguese and the people of Es tremadura as far as the Tagus that we are constantly pre pared to proceed to every quarter to which the service of her Majesty the,Queen, our Lady, calls us. The troops will deploy at Belmonte, in accordance with the instruc tions I have sent to the general commanding there, and General the Baron de Carondelet, with a column of in fantry and cavalry, with which he arrived at Capina, will march to this city with the artillery batteries of the Cam paign Artillery Brigade. " I have nothing else of consequence to communicate to your Excellency. The expeditionary columns suffer no less by desertion, not a single man being missing up to this date. The enthusiasm and decided opinion displayed. in this foreign country is, in fact, highly commendable,. and completely belies the gratuitous assertions of the Pre-. tender's followers, that they were inclined to favour his cause. The Portuguese admire the excellent discipline maintained by our army, since, for the five days we - have been in this country, it has not been found necessary to inflict a single punishment, a circumstance which has gra tified me exceedingly.

Earck, Regent-street Baker, George-street It was unanimously Resolved, 1. That this Committee, habitually and gratefully at tached to several distinguished Members of the present Administration, have been inclined to expect much from its principles and professions, and were prepared to observe its measures with a disposition rather to praise and justify, than to condemn and oppose them—and even to apologize for, and excuse, those which could not be approved. 2. That this Committee, in spite of all such desires, are compelled, by truth and justice, and their duties to the numerous Congregations of Dissenters and Methodists in England and Wales, whom they represent—to express their utter disappointment and sorrow at the measure proposed by-Cvevernment, as to those Church Rates from which the Nation, as well as Dissenters of all denominations, have sought and expected complete and early relief. 3. That as far as the measure affects Protestant Dis senters, it must have been founded on a total forgetfulness or contemptuous disregard of their many declarations, long and publicly made, that their main objection to Church Rates originated, not in the mere amount of the charge, but in the injustice of extorting from them funds for the support of an Establishment they could not approve, and the assumption on which it was based, that one body of Religionists was entitled to preference and patronage, and to the maintenance of their buildings and worship, ex clusively at the expense of the State ; while debasement and degradation were thereby inflicted on all other classes dissenting from them, however numerous, useful, and enlightened—however liberal and devout. 4. That, irrespective of their aversion to the measure as a continued infringement, though under masquery and disguise, to the extent of 250,000/. per annum, of the principles of religious liberty, for which this Committee will never cease to contend, they regard the proposed ar rangement as objectionable to an extreme and alarming degree, because-1. It deprives the people in vestry of the controlling power they at present enjoy : 2. It ren ders more distinct and durable the alliance of the Church and the State : 3. It tends to give perpetuity to a real evil, of which not Dissenters only, but the country com plain, from which, by exertions at public vestries, they were already extensively freed, and from which the Irish people had been wisely discharged: 4. It most unjustly imposes on Scotland and Ireland a new burden, on behalf of the English Episcopal Church, though that church is the wealthiest now known in the world : and 5. It is a needless imposition, to propitiate that Church and their political partisans, of a tax on the people to defray a charge for which ample funds might be provided by the voluntary contributions of churchmen, or by the renewal of the ancient obligations on owners and receivers of tithes to repair the churches, or by the appropriation to that object of a portion of the first fruits, and the revenues of the Dean and Chapter, and similar sinecures of the Church. 5. That, impressed by these convictions, this Committee must unhesitatingly decline such proffered but ill-judged relief ; and by petitioning the Legislature—by addressing the Government—and by communicating with their friends and constituents throughout the country, will endeavour to prevent this attempt, or any partial modification of Church Rates, from obtaining an injurious success. 6. That the petition now read be approved and signed, and be presented to the House of Commons by John Wilks, Esq., M.P., Honorary Secretary from its origin to this Society :—and that the Committee cheerfully renew an expression of their respectful attachment to him, and tif their great satisfaction at the promptitude and decision, with which he ably opposed the objectionable proposition when first introduced.

Dickenson, C. 8., arrived early this morning from the Cape of Good Hope, which she left on the 19th of February, touching at St. Helena and Ascension, on her passage home ; left at the Cape of Good Hope his Majesty's brig Forester, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Warren. The follow ing came home passengers :—Captain and Mrs. Harding, R. N., from St. Helena, and Captain Corinton, R. M. ; Lieu tenant Allan, R.N., also came passenger from Ascen sion, having completed the survey of the Niger, for ex ploring which this gentleman was sometime since sent out by government. Lieutenant Allan has landed, and will proceed to London via Bristol, with the interesting result of his discoveries. His Majesty's brig Curlew was at Ascension, and is shortly to return to England. The Fair Rosamond was cruizing off the islands. The sani tary condition of the .Talbot crew is remarkable, and affords proof of the estimable regulations of the naval de partment. This ship, with a complement of 175 men, and during an absence upon a foreign station of about four years, has lost but four men, two from natural causes, and two by accident. The Marquis of Huntly East Indiaman, from China, passed up the Channel on Saturday. She was beating to windward, in sight, all the day. The Vqnsittart East Indiaman, Scott, from Canton, bound to London, landed passengers and her purser this morning, and has proceeded on her passage. The Pallas frigate passed up the harbour this after noon to be paid. The Wolf, late from the East Indies, and the Talbot, Captain Dickenson, are also to be paid at this port. Wind S.—Showering. T.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last night the increasing popular historical comedy of the Mini ster and the Mercer was performed for the thirty-third time at this theatre ; after which a new play in two acts was produced, entitled Secret Service. The piece is evidently got up to suit the peculiar talents of Mr. W. Farren, and it is but justice to say that the author could not ft.el disappointed at the manner in which Mr. F. performed the character assigned him. Tho plot is intended to convey an idea of the 53 stem of police in France during the government of Bona parte when First Consul. The house was we I at 'tended, " In consequence of what I had the honour to commu nicate to your Majesty through Lieutenant-Colonel . Don Lorenzo Solano, I began my march from Aviz towards the Guadiana, but on presenting myself at Elyora. to Count Bourmont, the General commanding in the Alemtejo ' lie could not venture to permit me to proceed without first communicating with Santarem. This is a clear proof that there had been no previous notice on the part of the Por tuguese Ministry. On the second day of this new and fatal delay, I received passports from the General Police-In- - dendancy office, and having now overcome the difficulties of the passage, I immediately sent forward the sub-lieute nants Dons Jose and Dionisio Navarro, destined by your Majesty for this service. " For the purpose of reconnoitring the road from Moors to Serpa, I advanced on the morning of the 25th ult. a:; far as within two leagues from the point attacked, taking; with me 40 officers, mounted on horses good or bad. This advance was not made without risk, because is to our horse, indeed they were only 14 or 16, the rest were sorry hacks, which being small and weak, could not withstand a charge. I got, however, to Serpa, in the opinion of our officers by de ceiving the enemy, who never could suppose that any body of cavalry on their left was other than the 200 underßour mont, which they believed to be nine leagues from Serpa. Be this as it may, the Pedroites abandoned the enterprise, and after entering the said place with General Bourmont on the 27th, being certain that the enemy had retired tc. Mertola, I passed the . Guadiana, and came to this point, to carry into execution my original plan. Much precious time was lost at Ariz; and your Majesty knows better than I, that if my plan in that place had been arranged more cautiously, but:yet more decidedly than that adopted, I should have had money and men to form its basis, instead of which lam at present completely destitute of the first article. The officers who accompany me are in a wretched. condition. With much difficulty we have barely been able to muster a company of light infantry of 60 men, with 12 muskets, which we have purchased, the only arms we could procure. The officer who carries this letter is Don Juan Arguelles, one of those who accompanied me in my emigration from Spain. He can inform your Majesty circumstantially of the state of affairs here, and oC ' the officers and troops, whose number of both classes is. 140, including 40 Flemings, French and Italians, deserters. from Don Pedro, who have been admitted into your Ma jesty's service. God preserve the valuable life of your Majesty, " VICENTE GONZALEZ MORENA. " Evora, April 4." " EVORA, APRIL 3. " My worthy Protector,--My determination and anxious desire to be the first to demonstrate my military spirit anti resolution in the service of our beloved Sovereign, m a d e , me receive with pleasure your Excellency's all‘ ice, as I did six years ago, with ardent enthusiasm, to. put myself under your orders, Senhor General, as I believe the time for showing my devotion is now near, But it vexes me to see the time passing fruitlessly here, seeing that I mient be useful elsewhere, as no one can exceed me i n zeal or' resolution in the defence of our Sovereign. I be 4 your Excellency to incline his royal mind to enable inc. to enter Spain, and there labour for his cause until death, with a few horse to be furnished me, and the number of which should be augmented; for men of my character, who have already given unequivocal proofs of their usefulness, cannot continue to be useful at this crisis if they are, placed in situations in which their efforts would hare no result. The colonel who is the bearer of this will propose to your Ex cellency a plain and very practicable plan, and will asf; is t in promoting the successful issue of the others which are more important, and on a more extended scale. I beg your Excellency to listen to him, for he is a pc,rson much attached to your Excellency ; and do not fo: e g e t, i n order f ing me to Spain, to send me to the pointy most necessary, where I may have the opportunity o acting as a go o d vassal of Charles V. " From him who ever loves DE Excellency, JUAN MANUEL DE BALNIASEDA. MR. THEODORE HooK.--The forthcoming number for May of " Colburn's Modern Novelists will contain, we understand, Mr. Hook's last series of ‘< Sayings and Doings." The two tales composing it are illustrative, like his former amusing and lively stories, of two proverbs. The first tale, entitled " Cousin William," is a highly wrought and dramatic illustration of the French saying, " Ce n'est que le premier pas qui coilte ;" and the second, " Gervase Skinner," whiCh is a broadly humorous, but powerfully characteristic sketch, turns on the English proverb o' " Penny wise and pound foolish." Letters from Rio de Janeiro of the 25th of January, by the Rocket, arrived at Cowes, represent the country as tranquil. It is stated that several troublesome Portuguese had recently sailed for Lis bon. The exchange on England was 401; the price of the local stock 5'2. rimes. the " social Life of England and Prance," of whi c h It has AlAw transpired that the able work on a second edition is COW opportunely a b out to appear, is from the pert of Miss Berry, the correspondent of Lord Orford ( Horace Walpole), Among ' the sub jects discussed in these very interesting volumes, it is not possible to conceive anything more entertaining than the account of the change o f manners in England,- after the Revolution of 1688—of the amusements and ahnabditcluoefeson Anne--o e fe 0 duringthe Duchess th e reigns o N f or li fo in lk g s \ d V i i s l .o li r a c in e, —of the Duchess of Marlborough, and the beauties and wits of he r ti me — o f t h e effects produced by t h e genius of Voltaire on the character of France—of tt?.e. influence of women—of the remarkable difference in the conduct of England and France under circum stances of popular excitation; and the sketch of the character and court of etcorge 111.
