TO TILE EDITOR OE THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

S a,—The Eccentric Divine, mentioned in your last but two,
No. '2B, must he a very learned man, and must have studied
very much, or he never would have been able to prove that the
Letters composing the name of Napolen Buonaparte, and the
numbers represented by those Letters, before the introduction of
figures, amounted to the exact number 666, mots mentioned in
the 13th Chapter of the Revelations to be the number of the
Beast (Bumutparte).
Now, Sir, lam not so learned a man as the Eccentric Divine,
having had little more than a parish education, but wishing for
improvement (as no doubt many of your readers do the same) I
should esteem it a favour, if he will inform me where he learned
that the numbers for which the Letters in the Beast's name
should amount to the number 666.
1 never understood that Saint John wrote in any other lan-
sma,,e than Hebrew and Greek.
If, therefore, the Letters are in Greek, the numbers would
be 184, if, in Hebrew, 1092, as may he very easily proved by
Lamy Introduction, page 311.
I perceive the method tile Eccentric Divine has used to find
his utteibers is as follows, viz.—The first ten Letters he calls
one, too, three, &e. and the residue of the Letters are called
at), :iO, 40, &c. adding 10 to every Letter, by which means
the number 666 will he found.
But I doubt whether when St. John wrote his Revelation he
calculated in that way, therefore I apprehend it is of more
modern invention.
However, upon the whole, your readers from shat I have
wrote, may easily make a table and satisfy their own curiosity,
in case the Eccentric Divine will not favour me with a better
solution. I am yours, &c.

LAW REPORTS.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27.

CRIM. CON.
GREGSOK V. M'TEGGART.

The Plaintiff in this case wasan Attorney, the same who lately
recovered in an action against his Coachman, for criminal con-
versation with his wife; this was a second action against the De-
fendant, who was a Broker in the City, for criminal conversa-
tion before the coachman.
The Attorney General stated all the circumstances of the case
as they appeared in evidence, and observed, that although they
could give no direct proof of the fact, he contended, from the
facts Is hick he should lay before the Jury in evidence, that
they would be justified in concluding that an adulterous inter-
course had taken place. He then adverted to what he admit-
ted, proved a singular feature in the present case, namely, that
this was a second action to recover damages for the seduction of
the same woman. The reason of this was, that at the time the
action against the Coachman was prosecuted, the Plaintiff was
not in possession of sufficient evidence against the Defendant to
warrant his laying his case before a Jury with any fair prospect
of success ; but he had since became acquainted with facts
which at that time be was wholly ignorant of, and it became
him now to bring the Defendant to public justice, because it
would appear that he was the first seducer of the unfortunate
woman, and consequently was the cause of that miserable state
of degrade tion into which she afterwards fell, by prostituting
herself in the basest manner with her menial servant. After
many other observations upon the nature and tendency of this
injury, the Attorney General proceeded to detail the case in
evidence.
Mr. Cooke, the Rarrister, the Rev. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Leese,
a Surgeon, Mr. Dixon, the Plaintiff's partner in trade, and a
Clensentson) all spoke to the good conduct and affection of

ANOTHER LETTER.

CORUNN A, Nov. 2S.—A division of the French army has
gone in quest of the forces under Sir D. U. lan, who, inconse-
quence, has thought tit to fall back upon Lugo. The British
troops were joine,l by 4 or 5000 Gallicians, and, L am sorry to
►ay, that many of these have conducted themselves improperly,
and others have ►ieserted. It is -opposed that the British troops
will soon re-embark at this port.
The post front Malt id has been stopped, and we are very ap-
prehensive. of bad news from that quarter.
Sir John Moore's arm'. is '15,000 strong, and is falling hack in
expectation of a visit front the enemy in considerable force.—
General Moore has with hi in about 10,000 Portuguese, In whom
however, he can place little conlidetice.

ANOTHER LEI ILK.

Connlv NAi D •—A dvices are this instant received of the
defeat of Castanos by the French, and of the total dispersion of
array. He wai completely surprized, for he wa, induced to
:bailee across the Ebro front false informatioa of the weakness
of the corps under Marshal Motives , and drawn into a trap,
for Ney fell upon his rear, as soon as the army of Waite had
been disoosed of, and the result was fatally dreadful. No ac-
count is arrived of the day or place, w hen and where the battle
was fought, hut the fact is too true. And the cousequence is,
that Sir John Moore was instructed to begin his retreat oa the
2',:th ult. from Salamanca back on Portugal. And Sir D. Baird
on tiallicia. !fere we are iu the utmost consternation. The
stores are now eialrarking here, and we are told that the vesAek
are to he sent round to 1;40. as it is not thought advi,ahlt• to
trust the re-embarkation at this port. There is the utmost re -
soli to apprehend that General (lope, w ho is arrived at Madrid
with the cavalry and ;miller) belonging to General Moore s
army, will he cut nit'. Ile must he so, if it be trite as We hear,
that both Moore and Baird are retreating. In short it is ab-
lolittc despair.

cspec:cd to arrive and take possession of the town.
We are .till in a state of suspense respecting the situation of
General Male and his army. It is, however, ascertained that
he has suffered severely, in consequence of the baseness r►nd
rowardice of 111:1.14y (*( his Officers. General in parti-
cular. is a:•e•used of having betrayed the trust and confidence re-
nosed him. Ile was unfortunately entrusted w ith the Corn.
;oantl in the centre of the army, anti shortly after the brittle
:anmenccd, he treacherously made an openiwt for the French
troops to march through, w bids they did, to the astonishment
of General Make, and the confusion of men. The discom-
uture of the whole army is attrihnted to this net of treachery.
To guird against such condact, General Blake has superseded
several fteneral Officers and others of inferior rank, who have
been succeeded by Serjeants and Corporals of military ca►pacitc,
tried merit, and exl►erielce. The appointment of these men
to rank in the a►rmv appears to meet with general approbation.
I am afraid the fate of Spain is decided, and that the French
xili be in possession of Madrid before Christmas. If Bona-
parteshould ►gain another b;ltile, the consterration which will
be produced, 1 ant afraid, w ill be attended witl► very serious
elects. lam persuaded there never were so many of Ilona-
parte'e spies in any place since the commencement of his career,
:►s there are in this town at present. It is titled by foreigners.
Many Italians have ar►•ised here before and since Sir David
Haird's expedition, who are suspected by many, and a number
of those persons came from England. There are no vigilant
police officers here for the detection of such characters, and it is
plain any man may practise the part of a spy with perfect im-
punity. This is a very tine I►opulous country ; the men are
active, robust, and strong, not with,tanding which the recruit-
ing goes on very slowly. There is no stimuliol; the !ten want
encouragement to join the armies of their country. The recent
accounts are sufficient to dishearten them, for however deplor-
able their present condition may he, they are unwilling to ex-
change it fur danger, nakedness, and starvation.
