horse, and would have reached that place sooner,
but for-the heavy falls of rain, which rendered the
straight road altogether impassable. Its advanced
parties are at Burguillos, and even a league beyond
it. The troops of that division intercept, daily,
provisions destined for the enemy's army.
We learn from Santilgo, that General Malty, at
the head of hisdivision, is marching fromGallicia
to assist theAsturians hi the expulsion of the enemy
from that Principality. The action which took
place between At ilar and Oviedo, between our
troops and the French, proved very ndvanta4eous
to us, and in consequence thereof the enemy was
obliged to retreat with great loss.

twe howitzers. On the 11th inst.-Janet errived in
Rio-Seco with u envision of from • to 10,000 men,
and directed his march to Astorga. But letters
from Pouferrads, of the Stit, affirm, that Astorga,
at that time, had not yet been attacked, and that
Junot's division remains Bauseza. Villopando,
and the neighbouring places. Some French parties
have made their appearance on the banks of Rio
Negro, and on the road of Sanabria. •
Letters from Almeida, of the 14th inst. advise,
that the Freneh still occupy the same points as be-

a division of 6000 in n, corunnoded by General
Loison, and arrived from Astorga. It is entirely
composed of c.,tisce pt., most of whom are boys.

Accounts were yesterday received. that a battle
has taken place in Spain. the result of which was
very favourable to the Spaniards. It is also said. that
movements ■re observed iu the French armies,
which sees to indicate 'au intention of evacuating
the positions which they occupy at present.

Letters from Catslnnis state, that the French
army in that quarter has sustained such considerable

Reprimanded in lin place Isy the SeEmsea. Mr.
Wis. Santa and Mr. WILILEIRECE supported
Mr. ADAM'S .ElDCOdillellt. Mr. WIEDHAM spoke
in favour of the motion for commitment to the
Tower. Mr. SHERIDAN replied to Mr. WIND-
HAM, with great force and eloquence. Mr. PEE-
CEVAL answered the argument of Mr. SHERIDAN.
—Alderman Sit tw and Alderman Puce spoke
against the motion fur commitment. Mr. Lin-
ear:las, Mr. GOOCH, and Mr. posits GIDDY.
spoke on the same side. After a discussion of
about su hour. the House dirteled, when there
appeared, as we stated yesterday. • taajoiity of

—At the rising of the House, about hnifitast seven,

take Sir FILINCIS into cw.tody, is obvious. It
necessary to afford a little time to make lite/.

Constable of the Tower, who immediately pr,_
ceeded to carry• them into execution. So c.rlv
as half.psst ei,;ht o'clock in the morning, nose
pieces of artillery were taken from the tads-
part=, and, placed •'pposite the gate ; the ditches
that surround the Tower, were tilled with lister.
All the yeomen, in their full dress, were at *het:
respective posts, and a double guard was placed en
the outside. The Tower Hamlets Militia rec.( i.ed
orders to be in readiness, and a brigade of artil-
lery, which was to have marched to Woolwich, was
ordered to remain; and no stranger was suffered
to enter the Tower, who could not give a sails.
factory account of himself and his bit Ines*. Even
after admission at the outer gate, he was questioard
by the centinel in every quarter through which
he had to pass. At ten o'clock the Earl of
Kit ILA arrived, on horseback, attended by a
single groom. and alighted at the Governor's
house. The people nriw began to assemble in
great numbers, anticipating the approd6 of Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT. Some surrounded the Toot a
gates, and tilled tha immediate avenues, on the
land-aide ; where, notwithstanding the sails aid
the cold, they continued to accumulate, to tl e
amount of several thousands, and remained until
night..fuil. Many concluded that be at.tild Le
conveyed down the rive., to the Tower, a. a surer
*.y, awl bet.er calculated to avoid. all tumult.
These, in great number, lined the banks of the

mutes. and the wharfs in the vicinity, where they
continued until a late hour. At live o'clock, a dra-
goon arrived with an express to Lord 3loteit, and
was conduced to the Governor's house; 41116', about
sii, his Lordship went away. An opiaip then lie-
jinn to prevail. that the Baronet was not corning
either by land or by water. Orders were gime to
let all strangers out, and to admit none upon any
account. Great bustle and confusion ensued,
while those of the crowd, who were anxious to r.aeh
home and refresh themselves after their fatigue and'
disappointment, pressed through those also still
lingered behind. The apartments intended fur Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT adjoin the Governor's How.—
They were completely prepared for his reception
at an early lasinr. While those scenes ware psssi .g
in the East, the West presented a not less interest•
ing spectacle. At an early hour a placard, of
which the following is a copy, was posted all trier
Westminster:
" BrADETT—STESTIIINSTEIt."

" A Requisitionis signing for a Public Meeting of
the Electors of the City arid Liberties of W.itrnin-
s.er, to adopt such measures as may be exp. (Lei t.
