WEYMOUTH,. ,AUG.I 4 .

On. Thursday last the Nithility and Gentry of
the' neighbourhood were most sumptuously enter.-,
tained by Mr. R. SEWARD, at his Marine Villa, at (1:-
mington-hills. The company assembled abouCone
o'clock, and enjoyed a most delicious walk for a con,
siderable time •in the grounds, which the taste of
Mrs. SEWARD has- rendered extremely beautiful.
At three the company sat down to an elegant de-
jeun% where every delicacy in season, most tastefully
arranged, combined to please the eye and gratify
the palate. The healths 'of their respe&able host
aid hostess were drank With enthusiasm id
the choiCestwines. , A danCe on the lawn was in-
tended, but the heat of the weather was too great
for such exertion. The company promenaded the
glen, the pieturesque treauties of Which do the
highest honour to the plastic hand of the fair owners
The murmuring of the stream over the sea pebbles,
the shade and tragrance of the shrubs and flowers, all
contribute to enchant the ravished senses. Part of the
exCellent Band of the Osmltigton VOlunteers was most
judiciously placed amongst the trees, the remainder
at a sniall 'distance amongst the roAs ; and theinan-
swering each other with military and tender airs
produced an effe& perfeCtly • new and charming,
Which was increased by a most delightful echo. At'
a late hour the company took leave,' highly pleased
with their liberal entertainment.
The thw'n rapidly; add we expeet a season
at least eiral to those'-which have been honotired
by the_ presence of out beloved Sovereign. The
last )Ball, in which twenty-ix couple engaged in
the Mazy dance; is a convincing proof of number
as well as eleghtice of Our visitants.

guard gave the timed, " To arms, the enemy comes;"
and it was immediately determined that the.Cari-
bineerS Should fall back-with the vanguard,- coni-
Manded by Count MAZEDA; to Rio Seco, On the
Pith, they_were joined by other troops;, and corm,
eponding artillery. On the •isth, both armies form-
ed themselves in 'battle art-ay with the greatest judg-
ment and caution. General BLAKE commanded the
right, and CUESTA the lett. Both armies retained
their positions.till the evening, when the French at-
tacked the right‘wing of the Patriots: the Patriots
.commenced a'smattfire on their assailatits,and con-
tinued it for some time. Afterwards; skittle of our
troops got -into disorder, sounded a retreat; arrived'
late at Villalpando; and at night at Benevento.- The
Joss on both sideS was considerable, but that of thei
French by far the greatest, from the superia direc-1
tion of the Spanish' artillery, which did wonderful
execution in the ranks of'the enemy. On the 15th,
Generai BLAKE'S army received, orders to retire
through Banneza, and to 'pitch- his tamp at Castritlo,
:where the General now remains, preparing his army
for vigorous hostility, when an opportunity occurs.
On- the 16th, General CuEsTA,remained at Bette-
Vento, and at one o'clock the next inorning',he went
to Vallamannau, and on the 18th he 'continued his
journey, and arrived in this:city, where he and his
°Jr-leers-daily hold Councils of War. ,
VITTOAIA, JULY 12.--,Yesterday it was resolved
by the Junta of this Province to send a Dei,kitatioll
to Berg where JOSEPH NAPOLEON was, to re-
present to him, that ,he ought. not to proclaiM his
Soyereignty till'he :should reach the-capital 'of the
Kingdom. • The Frerich 'General; informed 'of this
determination,: convoked the States the same day
several Members assembled, and persisted in their re-
solution ; .but a troop of grenadiers being introduced
into the hall, compell.'d them to revoke their deter-
mination.. In the evening the Junta came girth be-
tween two files of soldiers, andweref brought to the
firptire, where the troopsstood drawn t..p, and in
their presence, a:id -in that of a few children, the
proavrilitioo was made. To-day, at ten in
.the
JOSEPH came here, an i did not receive
:he siti.,fattion -of hearing one huiza, or of seeing
any of ,e inhabitants open their windows to greet
him.

The Portuggese Patriots who marched frOm
Coimbra, proceed towards Pomkil and Leira. On
the 17th their vanguard came up with the French
between Gaiteira and Cabeco Negro, and forced
them to a precipitate retreat.
Juty h'.'.ve just heard that on the .26th
appe4ed off Figneira the English Expedition, of 76

Britain takes in the glorious etThris 'of the Spaniattli

disapprOhation of ,the toast before the dinner took
place ; and finding that Sir FRANCIS BAITING was
veryt solicitous to introduce:it, contented theinselves
With repeating that disapprobation, and ieft it ()hike
trusting, to.thii,:discretiort of Sir FaANcts, to act
as, on •refle&ion, he shvoid 'think proper. It this be
really the case; it is'. difficult to conceive how Sir
FaANCts will justify the introcluaion of the'President
as a toast, with any qualification that ingenuity could.
devise. If some of the most judicious and respe'...:
able commercial charadersiatrongly objected, in the
first instance, to the toast' in questio‘n, Sir •FaiNcisi
if he had Considered a moment, might naturally
have conceiVed that when it came to be submitted,
to' the various opinions' and passions of a large mixed
company, it was likely to prove an apple Of dis'cord;
and tend toTroduce nothing but turbulence and cla-
mour, upon an'ocdasion which ought to h3ve been
chiefly; if not entirely, confined to an expression Of
that cordial* sympathy which this nation takes in the
heroic struggles of the Spaniards for their King and
Conntry. It is therefore Proper to ascertain, whe-
ther the toast was really the obje.d of Marked disap-'
probation before it was introduced to the company;
in order to decide what judgment °light to be given
on the condbei of Sir'FßAticts BARING, a§ Chairman
•of tlie.Meeting, and consequently whether it is to
be imputed to a p.re,determination to proclaim his
partiality for the Pr'6';ident; 'Or was the mere result
Of convivial indiseretiOn. • • _
