Agent of Mr. Lodouic to procure the situation for

laud—SWlM: thought it was through the Chancellor.

LONDON,
THURSDAY. Augusr 17.
The Defender gois-brig, of 14 guns, arrived Id
Margate, on Tuesday, from the Scheldt., She lock
her departure about seven o'clock in the morning,
at which time our forces had been occupied about
four hours with the bombardment of Flushing.—
The Defender, however, did not lose sight of the
place until about nine o'clock in the evening. In
the interval, the town appeared a blaze of ire,'
and several flags of truce were observed pass-
ing and repasstug. The bombardment, how-
ever, wus renewed about eight o'clock, with
increased fury. Admiral lies.rs was proceed-
ing up the West Scheldt. The peasantry about
Rotterdam had risen to support us, and it was
hoped that Rotterdam, with three French sail of
the line at that place, would soon he in our poi.
session. A more particular account of the news
brought by the Defender and the Bermuda, which
left Welchem' on Sunday, and arrived on Monday
at Harwich, will be found under the head of
" THE EXPEDITION."

Government, we understand, have received di.-
pnte!ies by the Ur/finder gun-brig, stating, that
Flushing had offered to Plureittler, but that the
terms were refused. It W 35 al.° reported, last
Hight, that a British force, of three rail of the !hie,
had taken lielvoctrluys.

New Yolk papers to the lids Imit were retei%ed
yesterday, taut data contents are of no importance.

Wr hare made tome extroct% from Borhadoes
Potters to the ith ult. being the latest intelligence
from tiitst titiirter ; but tl,ry cosition little of ;toy
interest.

We feel no ordinary pride and pleasure, in ad-
mitting the brilliancy and importance of the victo-
ry of Talavera. We esteem it, how-ever, es less a
part of our duty to the public, to examine with
partiality, and to state with manly fairness, our
opinions on the constiusencrs to be anticipated
from the expected newel, to Madrid. And let us
begin with the renitence tbst sustained in the two
armies. It the British army reduced ewe fourth,
as it assuredly mast be. if we nave had .• 1101 kill-
ed, 3913 wounded. and 6;:j we cannot
deny, that one ur two more sueb victories will new-
ly annihilate, or will at least extremely reduce, our
force ; which, at the ',resent moment. it, is toot",
believe, very easy to reinforce from England. The
enemy, indeed, it appears, has sustained a far se-
verer loss ; probably double, amounting to 10,000
men, together with cannon; ammunition, and tum-
brils. Nor can he fail to stiffer in his retreat,
whichever way he direct it, by elesertiou, and the
* merahle inconrenicneies attendant cm a defeat-
ed army. But, admitting all these etas and mis-
fortunes in their utmost extent, we cannot he so
sanguine, or so intoxicated by our success. us to
suppose, that, though they may evacuate the me-
tropolis and New Castile, they will not rally, and
form a powerful army, either in Arragon, protected
by the Ebro, or between Segovia. Valladolid, and

The first fortnight of the armistice for a month

notice will be given to break it off, or whether it
will be prolonged. The great measures for the
defence of the Danube, the continual building on
the great bridge of the Danube, the incessant cast-

shells--all this affords no pleasing prospect of peace.

EXECU 170 N
OF PATRICK WICKHAM AND SCIANNA:I GRANT.
Yesterday se'insight, ttbuot halt' past eleven
•'clock, Patrick Wickham, convicted at the late
Assize for Warwickshire, of shooting Mr. Arlo, in
Jainisry last, mi titank-hill, near arwick, and can
of rubbing Mr. Gardner, between 11 arwick and
Loimbridge turnpike, and Snsaanah Grant, for har-
ing in her possession, in Warwick, an edger or in-
strument for iniuking seven shillings pieces round
the edges, were executed over the door of the
county gaol.
Wickham, although a young man. had been
concerned in several roliberies, besides thus* for
which he suffered. He had, since condemnation,
been penitent and resigned ; and, being a Ruin au
Catholic, he WHY attended by a gentleman of that
I:ersuasion, whnse spiritual admonitions appeared
in hare had their intended influence upon his
mind. He did nut make any confession publicly.
When he was tied op, and just before the cap was
drawn over Isis face, he said—" Gott forgice
Prosecutors, for I am innueeat of what I sallir Ar."
ickham was ai serjeant in the 103 d foot, and
only :el years of age.
Susaini:th Grant was far advanced in years. being
64 yeti's of age. She acknowledged that she well
knew that base money was concealed is her lOIIS,V,
having let nos of her rooms for that express pur-
pose: but she positively denied having taken any
part in the coining of the mody, or that money
was ever made in that house. With regard 10 the
instrument that was found in her house, she ap-
prated to have no knowledge of its being there ;.
neither, she said, was she aware that the conceal-
ment of such ma lusttuinent iii her •house was a
capital offence. She was penitent, Gun, and col-
le and confident in the hope of forgiveiw.s.
She expressed her warmest gratitude to the Chap-
lain who attended her, and prayed incessantly.
