WEDNESDAY, AUGUST '9, 1809.

No farther intelligence had beetyreeeived respeet-
hig the Expedition when this Paper was put to Press.

It is therefore probable that Flushing continues to
hold out. We are, however, happy to find that the
other obje&s of the Expedition experience no delay
from this circumstance, as a considerable portion of
the Fleet have Proceeded up: the Scheldt, with the
divisiong of the Marquis of HUNTLEY, General
GROSVENOR, and Lo:d ROSSLYN, with the intention
of attacking Lill° and Antwerp.

Letters have been recei‘e 1 from Talavera, in

Spain, dated the 24th ult. which stafe, that in con-
fortuity with the plan of operations arranged between
Sir ARTIAU II WELLESLEY and General\ CUESTA, the
two armies advanced by different routes, aEting in
co-operation, but not in conjuhdion with each
other. 01 the 22d,-, a skirmish took place 'between

lour advanced posts and a part of VICTOR'S army, at
Talavera. The enemy were driven'. from their poii-
The troops that weae engaged upon this oc-
casion were the 22d Light Dragoons, the German
Light Dragoons, finder Colonels ANSON. and PAYNE,
and a Brigade of Infantryiunder General MACKEN-
ZIE. On the 24th Talavera was in our possession.
It is stated that Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY had
formed It plan by which he :ex.oeeted to be able to
force VICTOR to,a general battle• on the, 5.),3d
and communicated his intentions to Gen. CuEsTA,
but that the latter declined the attack on that _day,
because it Was Sunday. VICTOR took advantage of
the delay, and retreated precipitately to St. Olala.
Spanish and Portuguese Papers reached town last
night, the former to the '.l4th, and the latter to the
2701 ult.

Tixy do not Mention tJtis skirmish, but
the account from Talavera is so disiina, that there

appears no reason whatever to,doubt it.

An article

from Tam'igon,l, datcd tile :7th ult. staie, tit'at. Lord

CoLusibwoon hu'd written tb Genetal COUPIGNY,
:10 inform Liu?, that an English and Sled.= army, of

8.,000 men had lai,cicd at. Salerno, in the kingdom
of • Naples. We'ore, however, inclined to doubt
this account, because.thc last Frenc!) Papers which
we recti'ved, cOntaitted letters from Napltl;s, of the
6th ultimo, and, at that time it Was positively as-
'screed, that the English had not etieded a landing
upon the Continent. ' :

Yesterday afternoon a Cabinet Couneil was held
at ,BOTlillgtoti-house.

(k.ing'‘. Messenger), left the Admiralty
yesiestlay afternoon, with- dispatches for the Expe-
dition.

Yvsterday morning his MAJEsTy, the Dukes of
Yotm and CONEER LAND, Hon. Mr. VILLIERS, Ge-
nerals GWYSNE, CARTWRIGHT and FurzaoY ; Lady
G. MuaßAyi and CulOnek TAYLOR and DEsßaow,
rode in Windsor Park, and re; tuned at noon and
the Duke of Yowl: soon attcrwards left Windsor, and
retuintd to London.

We are happy to state that Princess m ELIA is fast
recovering from her late severe illness. On Monday
last her Royal Highness completed the, twenty-
sixth ye:ir of her age; upon which occasion; as well
as upon the present improved state of her health; she
received the congratulations of all the branches of the
Royal Family, and-the surrounding Nobility and
Gentry at Windsor.
So admirably is Admiral KEATES provided with
the means of attack, that he is confident Fort Lillo
cannot long avestfhis progress in pursuit of the hos:
file Fleet, which it is ekpetted he will be. able to
capture or destroy. At the departure of the Ida
Flushing was el6,ely invested; but it was possible it.
might hold out for three or tour days. SoMe of the
Congreve rocks were throwninni the town, and
so tar excited the curiosity of the Governor, that he
lbas offered a re•A ard. to any person who will bring
one of them enf re, that• he may examine its struc-'
ture and anal: 3•:' its contents. • The scientific Go:-
vernor may pet h Ins catch a Tartar, in attempting to
gratify his curiosity.

CORN-MARKET.—On Thursday List a cause of
very great-importance to the community was tried at
the Norwich Assizes. The Defendants, who are
opuVot corn merchents, were iadittied, al the suit
of the King, for a conspiracy to enhance the price'
of corn, by entering into resolutions not to purchase,
for ready money in future, but at a month's, credit,
and durlng only two hours in 'the day, instead of
abiding by the formet' custom of purchasing for.
ready money, and during the whole day, by which
new regulation they, would be enabled to monopo-
lize the market, and charge the new prices to the,
consumers. Otter Mr. Serjeant BEST had proceeded
some length in his opening speech, the .Jodgead-
vised the Defendants 'publicly to rescind their reso-
lutions, stating, at the same time, that if thy should'
be conviiMt4, a most severe sentence should follow.
The Defendants agreed to comply with his Lord-
ship's _suggestion..
Died yesterday after a long illness, which shettore
with great fortitude; th.: Right Hon. Lady AME
HI./ME, wife of Sir A. HUME, Bart. and sister to
the Earl of BRIDGEWATER. She was .the daughter
of Joe EGERToN, Bishop of Durham; and the Lady
