Irestea day, at three o'clock, an inquest was held
at the Black Boy, in Long, Acre, before ANTHONY
GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster and it, Liber-
ti-es,. on the body of Osmond Penny, a boy ahulit
two years and five months old, the child of a var-
nish-maker in Long Acre, who lost 'his life in the
Strand,. near Catherine-street, on Wednesday even-
ing; at half after seven o'clock. Thomas Gulley, a
shop-boy at Anstey. and Co.'s linen-drapers, at the
corner of Catherine-street, deposed, that whilst the
servant girl, with the child in herarms, was crossing
from the Turk's Head 'Coffee-houSe, on the Mathes
side of the Strand, 'towards his master's house, on
the Covent-garden side, he saw a Gentleman's coach
with a Lady in it, driving furiously aleng froM
Exeter 'Change way towards the New' Church.--;-
Apprehending some dauger, he called out to the
coachman. Two or three other persons, apparent-
ly feeling for the girl and the child; also called Out,
but to no effect. The girl's foot slipped, she fell,
and by the force of the fall, the child was thrown out
of her arms. The coach coming up, one or two of
its wheels rolled over the child; it was taken to the
shop of Mr. Stanton, surgeon , and apothecary, in
the Strand, who stated, that the great carotid
artery was nearly separated ; • that the jaw
was fractured, and that the infant had sus-
tained a severe compressure of the skull, the
whole of which occasioned its almost instant
death. In the opinion of the boy, the coach-
man had sufficient time to have pulled up of turned
his horses from the time of his calling out until that
of the accident tah.ing place. Mier the accident,
the coachman looked round, and, theii,ll called to
repeatedly, increased the rapidity of his driving, and
got clear off. Mr. Marsh, of Ludgate-street, left his
address, and declaTes that h cot point out the coach
and driver if he were to see them again. The wit-
ness did not see any other carriage of any kind in
the way of the coachman at the time. The girl
au4 Oild were both dressed in light coloured
clothes.
A man of the name of Calcott also swore that the
coachman had sufficient time to stops or turn his
horses, it he had been disposed so to:do. The poor
girl, from whose arms the child fell, was extremely
agitated ; she was almost incapable of relating the
sad story. However, she swore that at the time
when her foot slipped, the coach was by no means
near her, though, by driving so furiously as it did,
it soon came up to her and the child, and. committed
the fatal injury.
Verdict ---" That the child came by • its death
through the extreme negligence of the coachthan,"
and a deodand of 501. was ordered to be levied on
the coach.

Fzaa.---On Thursday night, about twelve o'clock;
the back part of the house of Mr. Webb, chemist,
in St. George's Fields, opposite the Obelisk, was dis-
covered to be in flames by the watchman. All the
family was SO sound asleep, that the passage-door
was'obliged to he broke open to gain adm;ssion for
the fire engine that first arrived. The principal loss
has been sustained by some Jews, who h.td a ware-
room in the back premises, which, toe-ether with its
whole contents, was consumed to ashes. Mr. Webb
bas also sustained very considerable loss,. The house
itself was fortunately insured.

rt.air n, IU.L.Y 2Q.--The French rriaking tao tiont.,
.but that the stun of money which they had busil7
employed to seduce and commit Spanish hor,,
made a fresh attack on the city' of -&-iragOssa, 6e n
strong, early on the morning of the 15th f 1;7,
month. A battery of six pieces of cannon,
Vverfleaded with grape-shot, and the sixth
Ipurpoself-Merely loaded With powder, defended
the entrance of • the • Rastrazate, against which
the enemy, who
.had been suffered to cross: the Ebro
without opposition, dire&ed their attack. They
were pel-mitted to,approach within musket shot to the
point which they supposed to be sold to them, and
.even then the gun only loaded with powder, in order
to confirm them in their supposition, that they might
approach without any apprehension ot 'danger. But
when they were perfectly within the rimge of the
above battery, the fire pieces of cannon, loaded
with grape shot, opened on them a tpostlremendous
fire, whiCh produced a most dreadful slaughter
among the enemy's troops. At the same time the
Arragonese made a vigorous sally on the French,
spreading among them consternation and dismay,
and put them completely to the rout. This success
did not, however, satisfy the brave and valiant sol-
diers ; they purstied the enemy, attacked their
camps, and compelled them to make a precipitate
retreat. Thus the threat', f our ferocious enemy to
reduce the capital of Arragon again failed of success,
nor will they ever he able to attain that aim. PA-
LAFOX commands here, he commands Arragonese,
the enemy shall never .succeed !—(Oviedo Gazette,

TARRAGONA, JULY 9.—General LABRUN, not de-
terred by his late fruitless attack on the town of
Gerona, chobe to make another attempt, at the head
of 4000 (Iwo, in hopes that it might prove more
suceessful, but his expectations have been sadly
frustrated; he was attacked on his march and de-
feated with the loss of 18 pieces ot cannon, and
forced to fall back to Barcelona with the remains of
his division.—.(7e same Paper.)

town he proceeded .to the maiket place in order to
maintain the public tranquillity, and.ordered all Pro-
.clamations andEdiOs posted up in the name of Jo.-
SEP% BUONAPART2 to be torn down. Soon after,
the Major, General Marquis Da PORTADGO likewise
entered the town with. an escort of cavalry and 100
infantry of the army of Galicia, when our august
Monarch FERDiii:AND• VII. was- immediately pro-
:chtimed• with the ceremonies usual on similar occa-
sions: At the requisition of the English Commis-
sioners in this Province, Major Gen. FEANCISCO

SEvILLE, AUG. 3.—The day before yesterday, this
city hart the inexpressible satisfadiou to see enter it,
covered with glory, and amidst the most lively de-
onstrarions of an immense multitude of people, our
noble and illustrious deliverer, his Excellency Don
FRANCISCO XAVIER CASTANOS, accompanied by Se-.
.nor CONDE DE TILLY, and the Deputies of the Su-
preme Junta*, who had been sent to' meet him.—
They then proceeded to the Metropolitan Church, to.
return thanks to the all-powerful and all glorious
St. Ferdinand, for the signal viEtory obtained in the.
plains of Baylen. This religious and Catholic duty
being fulfilled, Senor CASTANOS repaired to the
Supreme Junta, .where • the General was received
with the compliments and .congratulations due to so
distinguished a"-General, and, at the same time, ho-
noured with a crown 'of laurel, which had.been pre-
viously. KepaNd. and presented by the patrioti-sal of
the Ladies of this city. Not. content with these
transient- demenstrations of their joy and esteem, the
good citizens resolved that the pencil shall preserve
the memory of the Hero, and have opened n sub-
scription to reward the artist who shall paint the best
pieture, four, yards long and three broad, represent-
ing the surrender of the Freneh troops, and contain-

" OPORTO, JULY 25.—Within. a few days we ex-
peFt to hear from England, of our ships, troops, and
many natives, who some time since Jett this king-
dorn in order to go to Brazil, but who have' remained
by accident in England. If our countrymen anx-
iously before sought an -asylum on the banks of the
Janeiro, under the beneficent proteaion . of their
SJvereign, to avoid the persecutionS and horrors
which threatened them from the common enemy,
they may now return full of joy to their native soil,
tojoin.theit.brethren, and-take an active part in the
military operations which have been so happily con-
cluded with the assistance of Spain; let them breathe
only vengeance, till they effe6t the final extermina-
tion of those who bave so unjustly invaded the ter-
ritory. Of an independent Government.
IVIADRIn, Apo-. 19.—0 n the 11th inst. the Su-
preme Council of Castile issued two Edids ; the first
declaring null and void the abdication of the Spanish
Throne in favour of the Emperor of France and his
brotherlosarn, with the new Constitution agreed
to at Bayonne; the second enjoining all the cities
and towns in te kingdom to concur in the SOlemn
proclawtion of the accession of FERDINAND VII.
.which was ordered, by an Edid of the oth, to be
celebrated in Madrid and Toledo, on the 24th inst.
The Supreme Council of the Indies has lisued the
following circUlar letter :
" Divine ItrOvidence, which, on so many and re-
peated occasions, has. conspicuously manifested the
special protedion
.which he confers on the Spanish
Nation and their Indies, has just given a sensible
proof of the continuance of his favour, in the pre.

aipisate flight which its most perfidious opPres,ors
Lave m .de from this capital.
, • " On the loth of April last, a Royal Dispatch
was transmitted to the dominions in the Indies, con-
taioing two Roya; Decrees, dated the igth and 20th
of March ; the first, being from our Sovereign Lord
. Don CHARLES IV. in which, for the reasons therein
sated, he freely and voluntarily autlicated the Crown,
tavosir of his son the Signor D. FERDINAND Prince
of Asturias;' the second .from the latter Sovereign,
de hiring' his acceptance of the Crown, and ordering
this he shall be proclaimed with the accustomed so-
lemnities in all the Kingdoms of the Indies.
" Aheady, at this epoch, in consequence of treason,
d-cept ion, and perfidy, were the chief fortresses of the
kingdom occupied by the veteran troops of France; and
there were in toe environs of this capital 60,000 men
of the same nation, who soon after took possession
cs it, under the fraudulent pretext of an intended
march to the 'maritime parts of the South. From
that moment the unfortunate FERDIAAND was de-
prived of his liberty, and became actually 'a
prisoner.
but the repeated and seductive pro-Cessions of the Em-
peror ot tee French, and hiscont inoed false declarations
of his anxiety to pay a visit to our Sovereign his inti-
mate Ally, in order to treat olmatters involving the
hanpiress of both nations (which be carried so tar as
to forward his equipage's, lac .use a place of residence
to tie prepared for him, and !ven to fix a day for his
entrance into this capital) took by surprise the inno-
cence and good faith of his Nlajesty,".who, anxious
to pay him every compliment, made his august bro-
ther the Infant Doi CAE Los set out to receive-him at
Vittoria. The deceiltui guest wasnot found in that
city ; and with the same good faith, or. in cause-
quetice of some new perfidions profession on his part,
D. CAliLoi proceeded to Bayonne, whence he, was
to return along with him. From that city NAro-

The King, who anxiously-wished tor-it, in order to
dissipate the suspicions which were thickening
around him, and to shake ok asssonnns possible,
the yoke of the i.oops• who oppreapect him, resolved
to facilitate-the interview by repai,nug to the city of

than in the capital ,of the kingdom : but all his
hOpes were disappointed; for the lat ter did not even

teak the fraudulent precaution to invite;him, nor did
he once move from Bayonne, where be had resolved
to seize .Iris person. In fact, . under the pretext of

" With this invitation his Majesty complied, be«

faith, and being desirous of putting an end to so
many calamities ; having pieviuusly, while at Vit-
toria, out of pure condescension to the wishes and
