EXTRAr'r ()V AN firm-Tu. DISPATCH FROM THE
MARQUIS OF WELLINGTON, TO HIS EXCELLENCY
EL 1,.,1C1AZ, DATED lIF.AD.QUMITIMS,

M!RLL '2l, 1813.

The enemy have continued to move troops from
the Tejd, in the direction; of the Douro ; and a
division of the Army of the South relitci,ed in Sa-
latrianeu 'a division of the army of Portugal, which
Las been "there for some time, and which now has
marched in the direction of the Douro ; another
division of the South !s in Avila.

According to the hist accounts, King..TqsEpn's
bead-quarters remained in Valladolid , those of
the army of Portugal in Palencka.; those of the
army of the Centre in Cuellar ; and those of the
South in Madrid.

ALIaAIiT, Aran. 6.—it appears that the allied
army is going to act upon the offensive, for which
reason all communication with Valencia has been
prohibited.

CACERES, APRIL 4.—General CASTANOS and his
troops set out this morning for Ciudad Rodrigo..

Lisuoti, Arm 23.—General COTANOS has his
head-quarters in Alden. de Bhp°.
The French troops of the Army of the South
have extended themselves upo►: the right of the
Tormes„

Government have this day received letters from
Lord Wer.LiNuTos, dated Frenada, Tat Apia,
but they contain nothing of importance. The
mimes remained nearly ill ;
the French had evacuated Toledo.

There are no arrivals to-day from'the'North of
Europe. We arc the more anxious for infor-
.Tnation from that quarter, as, according to the
last intelligence, BUYCHER and WITTGENSTEIN
bad formed . a junction, and were bearing down
upon BEAUHAIitiOn with the intention of forcing
bim to an action. News of a battle, therefore,
m9rbe expected .by the next mail, and one of no
ordinary importance in its conseqnences. A sig-
nal defeat given' to BEAUIiARNoiS at the present,
crisis would more derange the plans of BUoN'A-
PARTE than almost any cimunstance that could oc-
cur, and nothing thews more clearly the skilfully.
arranged system of the Allies .for the ,conduct of
the campaign than their thus
,'marching to force
LuAonmitloisto a battle, mho is placed n'such
situation thathe must either fight, or by retreating,
place ntIpriTAPARTf: in nearly 'a similar situation
ds if that. retreat bad been 'caused by a victory
gained by the Allies,in the field.
We have continued our extracts from ,the
French papers, which
.contain a good deal, "of
the same verbiage respecting,, the. state
of the armies, their confidence in their leader.; his
great and good qualities, and all the Other trash
With Which the Parisian Journalists are in the

habit of fa.vouriog us.

Another of the unfortunate, inhabitants of 13re-
men has been mnydered, and we trust the threat-

cited itthdiation for these atrocious crimes Ira(

without' delay be carried into practice. Nothing
ha a severe retaliation can put a stop to these
inhuman acts, or teach the French, for the sake
o their own interest, to desist from this career
of blood,

,The Dulie,of 'CUMBERLAND :sailed from Yar-
mouth), yesterday, for the Continent.

.The ?horning chronicle rettir9s this day .to the
subject of Denmark, but without attempting to
justify its charges agai
nst Ministers, in having
combined with Sweden in an attempt, to wrest
Norway ,-from the former. The writer 'affirms,
'that the taut et»ellt of the nature and extent or the
Danish. dehiaii:is given in the Ministerial Papers
,c was tint vovruct, but highly exaggerated, in
marry respects':" if so, Why, thres not the Chro-
nicle state what those demands actaally. were ?-
I'he sttiljr:tl i Of irapintance, indeed, of the
utinnf4t iiillmrtoteet in- the 'present state of
the Continent, .when all eyes are directed to-
,
wards thc operations of its great ..up - pressor,—
Sorety,it is incumbent on the' (lognit,te4 for the

informatioii Public, ustiA ea,
tion of itself; to give an accurate 7.statemeni of
die Danish demands, and to expose the many ex-
,
*ggeytions whiCh it bnpaes' tcs the Ministerial
Pipers!. The Chronicle represents, Deninark as in
so:formidable a state, considering the presentSaw-
ftil crikis of afiairs, that it. ought to specify the
exact grounds upon which she was induced to
viithlrold.ber alliance' from the common cause of
all the nations of Europe.- According tci.the ac-
count of the Clwoaiele,.the Danish Minister left this
country with
,the most evident marks
,of disap-
pointment and- iiritation, insomuch that he did
not even stop to settle any of. his own private af=
rairs. Would it not then be candid in the Chro-
nicle rather to suppose that BERNS7ORFF' displayed
a temper quite unsuitable to a Statesman, at any
time, and more particularly at -this awful. period,
than to infer that the BritiSh (iovern%nent would
have lost the co-operation of Denmark at such a
periOd, by
,harsh, unjust, and unreasonable requi-
sitions

We are compelled by want of room to defer the
remaining cla:lses, relative to, the Roman Catho-
lics, proposed by :Mr. CAN N ING, till td-morrow.

domestic,: who was seized with a violent fit of in-

o'clock iii the evening, to attend her Majeity.7—
The circumstances of the attack we understand to
have been as follow :—The unfortunate female,
who caused the alarm is named Davenport, and
held the situation or Assistane Mistfess of the
Wardrobe to Miss Rice. Hen-mother has been
nsii.h.r yelm• about the Royal Fa-
mily ; site was originally engaged as Rocker to
the Princesses.; and after filling variety of situa-
tions very respectably, she vas aointed House-
keeper at the Lowev Lodge, Windsor: HOr
daughter, the subject of this article, was born in
the Queen's Palace ; she is now upwards of 30
Years of age, anel has lived constantly, her'
mother, under the Royal protection. When-she
Was a girl she, Was attacked-, by -a fit at insanity,
bet 17,:as con,sidered perfectly cured ; however, she
hasfrequently been seized with
,fits of melancholy,
crying,: and being
„very desponding,. with Out any
known cause,, Her mind 101(1 been wire affected
since the death of the Princess AMelia. She was
present at the delivery of the funeral sermon which
was 'preached •at Windsor on the melancholy oc-
casion, and WeiCh had sueh an effect-on her mind,
that she became enamoured of the Clergyman who
delivered, it, and report assigns 'love to; be' the
cause of• the violent mental derangement 'with
which she was seized on Sunday morning. She
slept in the tower aver the Queen's bed-moth.—
About five o'clock her'Majesty was awoke by a.
violent noise at her bed-room door, Accompanied
with a voice ealling londly,for the Queen of Eng-
land to redress her wrongs,- and with the most
distressing shrieks and se-reams imaginable. The
.Queen's bed-room has. two doors'; she used such
violence as' to break` open the outer door, but
tnund herself unable to break the 'inner' one. Mrs.
Beekendoef, the Queen's dresser, sleeps in the
room with her Majesty. They were both extremti-
ly alarmed, particnlarly at first. Her Majesty and
Mrs. Beckendorf hesitated for some time
what bad best be done; when having ascertained
that it was a female voice, Mrs:Becket-Iliad Ven-
tured to open the inner door and get out. She
there found Mk,' Davenport, with. ouly her body-
linen on ; she was extremely violent with Mrs.
.insisting upon forcing her way into the Queen ; and- •
the, latter feared, that could she have obtained her -
object of getting into the Queen's-betkroom, ;die
would have vented her rage Upon,. her Majesty,
from the language she used. She bad a letter in
her hand, which she insisted o,n deliveringlo the
Queen. Mrs. Beckendorf, was placed in a most
perilous situation for about half an hour,
,being •
subject to her, viOlenee, and entleavonring to pre-
vent her front forciou.. her way hi to, the Queen ;
aud during this time the Queen heard all that was
Passing;, and was in great agitation AO distress;
lest Miss -Davenport should gain admittance to
her ;, the nnfortutiate female declaring the Queen
could and/should redress her wrongS. tetra. Beek-.
endorf in the mean, time kept Hug h% s hell in the•
passage, but unfortunately
,did not. at first awake
any one, though at last the ince-o,ant and violent
ringing of it awoke Mr. Groheeker, the Qiteens
page, mule two footmen, who came to Mrs. Eeek,.
enthirl's assistance. Miss Davenport made use of
very profane language to- Mr. Gmbeeker. All
these perthns could not manage ,her till Mr.
Meyer, the_porter, came, and. he being .4 very
powerful luau, uccomplkiwil it. When sla: found
herself overpowered, she itisisle.d apon seeing tie
