The Illustrious Party were drawn into the city by
an.i m inense populace (who unharnessed, t heir Grace's
carriages, and attached thereto scarlet 'trappings), to
the.Bnihop's Palace. The avenues were lined with
yeomanry, commanded by Colonel Prendergast
Smyth, who, with the inhabitants,` hailed their
"Graces with universal huzzas.

After having rested for some time, they proceeded
to Milford, the seat of Crilonel Smyth, where-a
sumptuous entertainment was prepared for the Noble

Rock, the North Cork, by Major CraWford, and
Waterford, by Lieut.-Col. Keane, were .formed into
a grand line by Major-Gen. Affleck, for inspection.
As soon as his Grace made his appearance, he was
saluted by the artillery with,el rounds ; after putting
the troops through the different evolutions, his Grace
returned General Affleck- thanks for their very high
state of discipline, which the General coin►nunicajed
to the. respettive Officers.

- Tire acclamations and highly gratified disposition
of the Public, never appeared more general on any
torpter occasion—all ranks vying with each other to
sinew their veneration-and respee...t.
The Address was on Monday presented -to his
Grace. by the Corporation. Addresses were ako pre-
sented from the Clergy (by the Rev. Mr. Hoare) end
front the Merchants and Bankers (by Wrilinar Ruche,
Esq.) which his Gr?ce was pleased to receive most

In the evening their Graces proceeded to the mag-
nificent residence of Colonel Smyth, at Miltord.—=
The town was filled with all the neighbouring cha-
raeters of the_ highest consequence and respectabi-
lity , as Soon as night appeared, the exhibitioos.'of
fire-works, illuMinations, and otherdemonstrations
of joy, were conspicuous and grand. At eleven
_p'clock their Graces rept red to the Assembly Rooms,
which exhibiteda scene of beauty, for which LiMe-
rick has ever been celebrated.

The ball was.opened by the. Right ROIL .Charles
Vereker and Lady Mary Identiox,- and conducted in
a style Which did honour to the meeting' and we
are happy to find,. that, notwithstanding the great
concourse of people that crowded and covered the
streets, no accident whatever happened. .•

merous, and were inspected by his. Grace, who was
pleased to express his high approbation at their

The Prince of Wales Packet, 'Capt. Topa, ar-
rived at Falmouth on the 6111 inst. from Lisbon,
after a
.voyage of 15 days. The letters by this con-
veyance were delivered yesterday morning. The
folloWing we have received by this opportunity, by
which it will be seen.that every possible exertion is
trade to reinforce the British army under- Lord
WELLINGTON, which still continues at Badajos.
". LISBON, SEPT. 18, 1809.—The head-quarters
of Lord
WELLINGTON still continue at Badajos,
within the Spanish frontiers. I have letters from
thence dated as late as Thursday last, by which it
appears that both the French and British armies are
in a state of total inactivity. There are about three
thousand sick at Elvas, for whom accommodations
are 'ordered in this capital by the. Medical Depart-
ment, and we are in daily expedation of their ar-
rival.

fc We have had various reports here, some of
them staling that the enemy is retreating to France;
others, that he is advancing to the borders of this
kingdom ; but while he continues motionless in his
encampments, it will be seen that these rumours,
which are magnified into consequence by the fears
of ti,e timid, and the hopes of the sanguine, must be
unsupported.

.
" You will naturally be anxious, from your mi.
litary and naval conneElions, to learn some mere
minute particulars respe&ing our land and sea forces
n this neigbourhood, than you could be enabled to
colic& from the ordinary channels of information.
f‘ The 83d and 87th regiments are ordered to
Lisbon, on,,account of their reduced state since the
battle cf Talavera.

• "" Several transports have arrived with „detach-
ments of different regiments within these few days.
Orders have been given for these reinforcements to
proceed to head-quarters, together with about 500
convalescents, on Saturday next. The first dragoons,
or Royals, which are at Belam, have directions to re-
join the army at Badajos in a few days. The 14th
Light Dragoons, and
,the King's German Legion,
have received about six or seven hundred horses,
which they have been employed in landing-on Sa-
turday, Sunday, and to-day.
" With respe& to the Navy—the Batfieur, of 98
guns, and the -Zealous and Norge, of 74, entered
the Tagus on Saturday last.. They came from Fer-
rol, where they had been engaged in fining out the
Spanish ships of war that remained in that harbour,
consisting of six sail of the line, six frigates, and a
number of small. vessels. ,

• " The Prince of Woks Packet sails to-morrow
morning early. The mail is to be put on board at
eiv;ht o'clock to-night."

Par: JAMES BRANDON stated on his oath, that, to
his knoWledge, no such orders ‘veid issued by Mr,::
KEMBLE; and that if such orders had been issued
for the above purpose, he must
,of. necessity have
knoWn of it.—Andrews, in his defence, said, the
hand-hills were given to him by a gentlentan near
the Royal Exchange,_ with a shilling for his
trouble, to distribute them near the Theatre ;
that observing the name of a respedable printer
to Chem, he considered he. was not doing wrong in
circulating i•hem that he got his bread' by distri-
btu bidsi, having for the last fifteen mouths been
engaged by Mr. Bibb, Who he had no doubt would
give inin a character. The Magistrates enquired if
he would give Up the name of the Gentleman who
employed Mtn ; t his Andrews affirmed was unknown
to him, and, it: detault of being able to find :bail,
he i&as committed. He is a singular looking object,
being without.? nose.
Mr. Blackburn of the Borough, was charged with
corning into the boxes at half-price, and ringing a
dustman's bell. 'lie was ordered to find bail.
