softie small field artillery, with two 18-pounders,
and in the night he retreated, leaving some of his
wounded. The enemy burnt many of their dead,
and in one pit has been discoVered thirty buried ;
his loss must have been great. The loss on the side-
of the Spaniards has been trifling, only one hundred
sib(' ten wounded. Captain \Vynter, who was some
• time at the camp, and who had a - narrow escape, a
grape-shot having grazed his hat, described to me
that such was the animation of the Spanish troops,
that it was with difficulty they were restrained by
their Officers from pushing across.
Thus, Sir, the spirit and good conduet of this di-
vision of the Spanish Galician army who, though
without almost every part of clothing, and exposed
to heavy rains withoUt shelter, had shewn to their
own Nation, and to all Europe, that they are in-
spired with ardour for the delivery of 'their country
tram a cruel Usurper, which alone a brave and loyal
people can feel ; and the merit of their Comman-
ders bears so conspicuous a part, as their Lordships
must appreciate much better than I could take the
liberty of expressing of Officers superior in rank to
myself. And it is but just to say, that the Officers
employed in the gun-boats, executed well the instruc-
tions they received from Don Juan Carransas, whose
unwearied attention to give every aid and assistance
to the army with the most a6liye promptitude ex-
cited admiration.

Lieutenant Toledo, commanding the Tigre, Spa-
nish schooner of war, who was up the river to give
succour, was most aaive, and Lieutenant Alves,
corninanding the Portuguese schooner Curioza, was
alert and zealous to support the cause; and you will
also be pleased to express to their Lordships the bap•
piness I feel in being enabled to inform theM; that
Captain Wynter and the British Officers and men,
felt all that ardour to assist real friends which is in-
lerent in their charaaer.
I have the Honour to be, &c.

LONDON,

WEDNELD“, JULY, 5, 1809.

WE stated on Monday that a Telegraphic Dis-
patch had reached the Admiralty, announcing. the
Recapture of Ferrol and Corunna by the Spaniards.
The details of this most gratifying intelligence were
this morning received by Government.

It appears that in conseqlence bf the gallant aaions
fought by the Spaniards near Porte Vedra, Marshal
N EY has been obliged to evacuate Ferrol and Corunna,
after spil;ing all the guns, blowing up the ammuni-
tion, burning the magazines, storehouses, &c. and
on the e3d u.t. had retreated as far as t,pgo. The
remains of SOULT'S corps were unable to of eet a
ith NEY, as was asserted in the French Pa-
pers ; he remained at the Valley of I‘lonteforte on
the gth ult. totally destit'ute ot artillery, ammunition,
and magazines. /His any was almost naked, in
great want of provisions, epee-ting every day to be
ait:vsked by the Marquis DE R6IIANA, who had
azselibled an army of 26,000 men at ()reuse fot* tha
purpose.

We this morning recei.ted Jamaica Papers to the
23d of May. They state that an Eipedition had
sailed, for tl.e p.utpose of taking possession of the
• "
City of Santa Domingo.

The Gazette of last night contains the details of
the aaions in /Gallicia, which we mentioned yester-
day. We have been fayoured ith some Private Cor-
respondence, containing further particulars of the
advantages obtained by the Patriots.

We this morning received some Portuguese
pers, but they are ( f a very old date; the last ac-
counts froin Sir f RTHLTR WELL SLEY are dated the
15'06:Lining of June ; at that time h N, as ai;e.nblir g
his furcLs at i‘t;rantes, with the intention of attack-
ing iii , who remained at Caceros and Trux-
-21.1e.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 30th
ult.--They contain nu news from the Danube
2nd no fresh French BulletiD.—The following
the, only articlo we have at present time to extract,
and the intt.lllg.nce it contains has been given in
substance before

" HAMBE7I3II, JUN:F. 4.

The Insurgents in: the Tyrol are returned to
frontiers.—The Binperor of the French had
ordered an army of 30 or 38;0,00 men to at against
the N-Ithern parts of 'the • Tyrol, • However, the
Bavarian General, WREDE has received orders to

2..1th0' ugh, from the confidence which- welave in
'tike ,Enodr,tiense of the 'people of this- country, • 'l4;/
tvertt.c-J-,.vinced rhat the popularity of Mr. WAr.Dr.e.,

it was vpontros mibreproentation; and

supported by faction, could not long subsist, we did
not expea that it would undergo so sudden and so
violent a death ; we did not, we 'confess, expe&
that " even-handed justice" would have so soon
returned " the poisoned chalice to his own lips."—
We did not expect that in so short a time, while
the throats of Mr. WARDLE'S admirers were yet
hoarse wttli bawling forth his praise—while the ink
was yet wet upon the Addresses that thanked birii
fur his Independence and Patriotism, that he Would ,
! have given the death-blow to his own popularity,
and that Mrs. CLARKE would be the instrument by i
which this purpose would have been effeEted 'ln
.
commenting upon the conduct' of any other incliVi-
, .
deal, we should quote the evidence of Mrs. CLARKE
with-distrust, but against Mr. WARDLE it is deci-
sive. He cannot impugn the veracity of a woman,
speaking upon her oath, upon whose word he as-
sailed the charaaer of the King's son. ' Mr. W:t.a.
neE has said, upon his honour, that he had no con-
nection tvith Mrs. CLAak.E, except merely as a
witness to prove the charges against the Duke of
York. Mrs. CLARKE has said; upon her oath, that
she was to assist Mr. WARDLE in the Investigation,
in return for which he Was to furnish her house for
her. Mr. WARDLE'has said upon his honour he had
no hostile feeling against the Duke of York, and
that his only motive for bringing forward the charges
was a sense of public duty. 'Mrs. CLARKE has said,
upon her. oath, that Mr. WARDLE' advised 'Mr.
WEIGHT, the Upholsterer, to whom she was in-
debted, to bring an aEticn against the Person whom
he,' Mr. WARDLE, conceived ought to pay, and that
he would pay all the costs. This Person, we need
hardly say, was the Duke of York. Is this asser-
tion
of Mrs. CLARKE'S true or false ? If she has
sworn falsely, she may be conviaed of perjury on
the evidence of Mr. WARDLE and Mr. WRIGHT ;
if she has spoken the truth; we ask Mr. WARDLE,
in what manner his public duty called upon him to -
instigate the Upholsterer to bring an aaion against
the Duke of York ? We ash him how that La&ion,
cf which he offered to pay the costs, was co4neaed
with the abuses supposed to exist in the Commander
in Chief's Office? ' We ask him whether it was
honourable, nay, whether it was legal, for him to
make that offer ? Mr. WINDIIAM, with that lofty
feeling which marks his charaaer, said, he had ra- 1
Cher be guilty of all the miscondua :imputed to the
Duke of York, than have obtained the letters in the
mariner which Mr. WARDLE had done; but what
would Mr. W“iliiiAM have said, if he had known
all the damning faas'that came out in the Court of
King's Bench on Monday ? What will the Movers
and Voters cl Addresses and Statues to Mr. WA-It-
~
DLE say whZ:n they read that trial ? One good ef-
lea, we trust, will result from this extraordinary
proceeding : it will in futere prevent the people of
this country from being seduced by the professions,
and misled by the artifices of faCtion—it will teach
them to pause before they give a man credit for pa-
triotism, merely because he clamours for reform—it
will teach them to investigate his principles and his
motives before they vote Liin addresses and statues.
There is one passage in tlitt, concluding part of Mrs.
CLARKE'S testimony which deserves particular atten-
tion, because it affords a notable specimen of the
ingenuity and the morality of Modern Reformers.
She says that Mr. WARDLE "S Attorney called upon
tier and advised her not to go into Court, because
she would be cut up by Serjtant BEST, in a cross-
examination ; and added, that Mr. WARDLE said he
would give cut that she wal bribed by Ministers.
A more ingenious device certainly could not have
been hit upon ; it would either'keep Mrs. CLARKE
out of Court, and that would be serving a private
purpose, or it would throw an odium upon Minis-
ters, and that would be perforMing a public duty.
We had written thus far when that most extraordi-
nary of all letters, Mr.WAninc's Letter to the people
of the United Kingdom, reached us, and as we wish
to a& with candour towards him, We have inserted
it. Mr. WARDLE in his rage accuses the witnesses
of Perjury, and his Counsel with *ant of prates-
sional judgment. His attack upon the veracity of
Mrs. CLARKE. must expose him to tLie contempt of
all those who remember the events of the last few
months ; his attack upon the verat'lity of Mr.
WRIGHT will in all probability lead to qonsequences
of a more serious nature.

An 'account has been received .of flu; following
