Accounts have been received of the arrival of
Sir DAVID Baiao off Corunna, where he learned
that he would be enabled to effect a landing near
Saint Ander°, with advantage to the Spanish
timid.. Ile immediately proceeded to that place,
and it is believed that he would have debarked
there four days ago.
Letters from St. Ander°, received in town, yes-
terday, positively state, that Jos.: n BONAPARTE
is with Marshal BERTHIER at 11,!bou.
There is no account of the arrival at Coruna of
Sir D. Baum, but he 1:,:s been fallen in with by
our cruisers oil the coa,t. of Spain, and expected to
reach Corunna iu too or three days afterwards.
Preparations have been made at Corunna fur the
accommodation of 35,000 Errietah troops, which
are daily expected there.
General COTTON'S brigade will embark as soon
as ever the transports are reported to be ready to
receive them.

The Iris, arrived at Portsmouth, from Gijon,
on the loth instant tell in with 10 rail of trans-
ports from Portugal, under convoy of a frigate, in
hit. 41. 20. long. 11. 30. They were then about a
oirmlll from the Tagus. They had met with very
dreadful *feather, and had parted, on the 44th of
September, (rola 30 other transports which veiled
with them. They were bound for Quiberon.
A Cabinet Council was held, within these few
days, at the Board of Trade, which war
attended by the Duke of PORTLAND, Earls Can-
-111:11 and lie MIT, Viscount CASTLEREAGH,
Lord Ilswisesourtv. Mr. CANNING, and Mr. PER.
CKV A 1.. The Bunk Directors, and a ndmber of the
principal Bankers in the City, waited Ivan the
Council, and represented the very great inconve.
'ileum that persons iii trade, and the public at
large, experience from the present wretched state
of the silver coin, as well as from the scarcity of it.
The C il, after listening to the representation
floin such a respectable assembly, determined to
order a new coinage of half crowns, shillings,
and sixpences, with all possible dispatch.
Tiler Is appear to be gradually getting better.
Yesterday, Consols were fib!. and Omnium 11 die.
We ',resume the rise may be attributed to an anti-
cipation of proposals of peace being the result of
the conference between the two Emperors at Er-
forth. Omnium having proportionably risen higher
than die other Stocks, may be accounted fur by its
bring considerably cheaper than any other Fund,
and consequently a greeter demand is created for
per Cents. the Stock in which the Loan was sego-
ciatet).-4 per cents. are 81--and 3 per cent. Con-
sols 661—there is therefore a difference of 5 per
cent. in the vale/. of these Stocks.

Extract of a Inter from Gottenbargh, dated
ad instant ;--" All hopes of au accommodation
between Russia and Sweden are Pii:ain frustrated,—
The Swedes hare met with some most severe losses
iu (inland ; the hate got large reinforce-
ments. The brsve Swede% fight with such despera-
tion, that nice rugituent of Finnish guards is said to
Lave been entirely cnt to picriei, with the exception
of too Offic, The Ion,: not published any
accounts et vi the kst dreadful battles."
