An English officer has arrived in town, who,
about ten days since, passed through the lines of the
French army of observation on the Spanish frontiers.
Ile reports it t amount to near 80,000 men, with a
very superior park of artillery ; the cavalry in gene-
ral remarkably well mounted, and the whole in
towelling order. The horses were chiefly from
sranders and this country. This account is directly
at variance with the statement in the French papers,
. that these troops had begun to break up and go into
canaonments.
FIRE AT Sr. JAMES'S CHURCH, BRISTOL.—At
three o'clock on Thursday morning, the watchnam on duty in
tat. James's Church-yard discovered a great light iii the lower

ceeding to examine the prt hose.., it was found that the urst
boor of the Tower had caught lire, and was bunting rapidly.—
One of the large beams was actually burnt several inches deep
when the discovery was wade ; but the names were easily ex-
tinguished. The plumbers had 1,..ca at wink there during the
ci and having had a lire on the :•'4ofle part of the floor, it is
opposed that the accident was occasioned by au ember
between the boards.
