A MONSTER.—The vicinity of croydotr, in Sur-
rey,
has been alarmed, for this tart night past, by an
inhuman wretch,•wiset'27.l!ies Gut at night, in a black
Mask,- a dark coloureZ et,;tk, and mliitary boots,,
with long spurs. He is a tall 'Sttkut made man. fl is
practice is to attack all the women Awn he meets.
Having let the object pass, he turns round, end, 1
Seizing her by the shoulders, he shakes and pinches',
her in a violent manner. He concludes the .brutal
assault, by passing her cloths; over her head, anti
tearing her person with a eurry-comb ; soinetimes
his spurs are applied to the same cruel and inhuman'
purpose. Should he perceive any persim coming to .-
the assistance of his victim, he makes off, and
leaps over park-pailings, althnogh twelve •
feet high, with the greatest ease. By his strength _l.
and agility, he bas- hitherto evaded his pur-
suers—Upwards of fifty per Sobs. have been most se-
riot by this monster; amongst whom
is Mrs. Wildgoose, the wife of a respectable geßtle-
mail at Croydon ; sbe now lies dangerously ill from
the treatment she lately received, on her return from
a Visit to her niece. Also the ostler of the Hare and
Hounds, at Wadding, whom he mistook for a -wo-.
Man, owing to the darkness of the night, and whom
he eaUght hold of, and, finding his mistake, threw
the prior man into a deep ditch. The inhabitants of
CroydOn are taking every means to discover the
monster's retreat ; numerous parties were out last
night.. in search of him. The terror is so great
among the females of the vicinity of Croydon, that
not'a wOrnan is to be seen outof doors after dusk.

A letter, dated on the evening'of the 19th' ult,
froth Cadiz, was, yesterday received by a Cuthmer-
honse of great respectability. It states, that
intelligence had just arrfved there, of the arrest and
impriscalthent at geville, of-several persons of rank,
among whom was one of the brothers of the cele-
brated A FGX: `fie have not been able to Obtain
all th.e information we could wish respecting the'
causes and_ character of this commotion 3 whether
it, be an effort of the Junta to preserve their power,
or the effect of popular impatienee and indignation.
The letter containing this information was bOught
by the Nonpareil, which sailed from Cadiz on, the
morning of the .20th. We understand governmeht
received dispatches .from Mr. B. '4i2.1t13 by the same
vessel. . ,

Saturday, the Recruit,apt.MußßAY, aqd

left Vera Cruz 30 days sine. The Spanish line of
bAttle ships, San An der. and Sun Dianon, had sailed
with i q,000,000 of &liars for Cadiz ; the latter ship
was accorripanierl by the Undaunted, Capt. MALING;
the not being deemed sea-worthy; and a few days_
after she sailed, she sprang a leak, which obliged her
to put into Porto Rico. The species. it was thought,
would be put on board the Undaunted, for her to
take it to acliz. The k'ranchise, Capt. DASHWOOD.,
had left Vera -Cruz.for Jamaica ; and The Ethalion,
Capt. COCIIHANE, for liarbadoes. colonel Cocx-
