GUILDIIALL.,--James Cobbler was re-examined
yesterday, before Mr. Alderman HEYGAI*, on the
charge of having, nit -Monday evening last,'robbed
cole,,,fa.ruitkv. of fiertford4hire, tit..tbF
ner of Bull' and 'AI ou th -street, in the City, of his
family watch, aided by an accomplice, inn man-
• net, most artful and systematie,"whoinstantlypull.
ed away the watch and decamped, while the pri-
soner was held fast by the' prosecutor, an4com.
to the care of the constable.'
It now appeared' that the watch was restored
by the accomplice, through the agency of a Mr.
Wells, agent fur prisoners, on a promise not to
peoseente.; upon which the Alderman ordered all
parties coucerned in compounding the felony, for
furter examination, and remanded the prisoner.
'OJT EN,sot.!A r,.--Yesterday a great number
of soldier's, were, brought before W. FiE.r,plNo,
Esq. from Knightsbridge., charged with . having
committed violent outrages. It.'appeared, that'
mlny of the soldiers had assembled together for
the purpose of celqbrating.ChristMas, and. having
taken liberally at the shrine of .11acchus, they
proceeded to wanton and indecorout acts. Soon
acter elaVen o'clock the constables (as fa their Cus-
tom) entered the hoUse for the purpose of order-
ing all loose or disorderlypersons to their respec-
tive twines ; this, however, was strongly oppbsed
by the soldierii, who resisted the attempt of the
cunsOles.. •The-consequence of this was that a '
a severe conflict. ensued, in. which the soldiers.
were victorious, and the constablei were obliged
to 'retire after being • severely beaten, stime of
:which were much hare, and the whole neighbonr-
lkood put into ~tt great state of alarm. The Sol-
diers expressel the greatest contrition for their
behallour, and the matter was amicably settled
between the parties.

nATTON,;GAD2ll.—Yesterday terence "CTOnirn
was brow ht up in the custody of John,Hutt, who
iipprebenaed the prisoner on the preceding night,'
at . the house of tine Cain, in Church-lane, St.
Oes's charged with the murder of Mr. Thomas
Leonat'il, jandlurd of the Duke's Heed' public-
house, in Monmouth-court, Seven-dials. The
servant-maid ,at the deceased saw the prisoner in
the ‘tatch-hottse, and was ready to swear 'to him,
but none of the witnesses were present. The pri-
soner stated that he was taken in mistake for a
man of the more of. John Crowe, that he never
was in Leonard's house, that he works as a navi-
gator, and had many witnesses to prove:that he
was in Iris lodging on that night and-in bed, nee
ver being out since he came to London later than
eight„ o'clock in the evening, and that he was Only
sixteen weeks from the county of Mayo, in iree
laird.. Mr., LZACU, the Sitting Magistrate, or-
dered him to send to those witnesses, that they
might come forv,.ard and prove whet he said, and
ordered the officer to bring forward the witnesses
to establish the charge on the next examination,
until which„finie he committed the prisoner. - •

LON-DON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY,

THURSDkY, DEC. 30, 1813.

WAR DEPARTNIENT.
Dimming-street, Dec.3o, 1813.

Major 1-ItLL, Aide-de-Camp to tientenant-Genc-

ral Sir RowLAND HILL, has arrived with a
Dit,patch, of which the following is a copy, ad-
dressed. to Bail BATHURST, by Field-Marshal
the Marques's of WELLINGTON, K. G. dated
St...frau de Luz, Dee. 14, 1819.-

Lobo,--Since the enemy's retreat from the
Nivelle, they had occupied a position in front of
Bayonne, %Oki' had been entrenched with great
labour since the battle fought at Vittoria in June
last. it appears to be .iintlerthe tire of the works
of the place, the right rests upon the Adour, and.
the front in this part is covered by a morass, 9c-
casioned by a rivulet which falls into the 'Adour.
The right of the centre rests upon this same mo-
rass, and its left upon the River Nive. The left
L between the Nive and the Motu., on which
'Wel' the left rests. They. had their advanced
posts from their light in: front of Anglet and to-
wards.l3l4itz. With their left they defended the
Inver Nive, and communicated with Gen. Paris's
,division of the army of Catalonia,. which was at
pt. Jean Pied de Port, and they had a considerable
corps cantoned in Ville Vranche and Monguerre.
it was impossible to attack the enemy in this .1
,position, as limg as they remained in force in it.

I hail determined to puss the Nive immediately
titer the passage of the Nivelle, but was pre-
vented by the bad state of the roads, and the
swelling of all the rivulets occasioned by the full
of fain in the beginning of that month, but the
state of the weather and roads, having at length
enabled me to collect the materials, (ind make the
preparations for forming bridges for the passage
of that river, I moved the troops :out:ot their
cantonments on the Stb, and ordered that the
right of the array under Lieutenant-General Sir
Rowland Hill should pass on the 9th, at and in
the neighbourhood of Cambo, while Marshal Sir
in. Beresford should favour and support his
operation, by passing the 6th division under
Lieutenant-General Sir henry Clinton, at Us-
taritz ; both operations succeeded completely.
The enemy were immediately driven from the
right bank of the river, and retired towards, Bay.
onne, by the great road of St Jean Pied de Port.
Those posted opposite Cambo were nearly inter-
cepted by the 6th division, and one regiment was
driven from time road and obliged to march across
the country.

The enemy assembled in considerable force on
a range of heights running parallel with the
Adam., and still keeping Ville Franche by their
right. The Bth Portuguese regiment, under 'Co-
lonel Douglas, 'and the oth Cacadores, under Co-
lonel Brown, and the British light infantry bat-
tations of the Gth division, carried this village and
the heights in, the neighbourhood. The rain
which had fallen the preceding night and on tht
morning of the Bth, had so destroyed the road,
that tite.day had nearly elapsed before the 'whole
'of Sir' Rowland Hill's corps had come up, and I'
was 'therefore satiAed with the possesioil of the
grounTwhich We occupied.
On the same day,,Licutenatif-Gencral Sir John,
Hope, with the left 'or.'the army under laic Coin;
mand, moved forivard bithe.:gr,ea.i:, road (rota
Jelin de Luz towards Bayonne, and reconnoitred
the right-of :the intranched camp' under,BLlOnni,
. .
and the purse 01 the Adour below the ton n,'
alter thriving in the enemy's posts trom the neigh-
bourhood of Biaraz and Angler. The light ,di-'
vision, under Najor-Peneral Altenilikewise mop-
ed forward from Bassusarry, kind reconnoitred that
part of the enemy's intrenchmerits..
Sir John Hope and MajOr-(le.seral Altea retired
In the evening, to the ground they had before

occupied. .
On the morning of the 10th Lienteriant-6ene-
-nil Sir Rowland Hill fo,tud that the enemy had
retired tram the position which they had occupled
the day before on the heights-, into the- entreoched
camp on that side of the Nive ;-.011 lie therefore
occupied the position intended for !din, with his
right towards the Motu, and Ibis 'left at Ville
Franebe, and communicating 'with the centre of
the army, under 'Marshal Sir William Beresford,
by a bridge.laid over the Nive ; and the troops
under the Marshal were again clray...l to die left of
the Nive.

General Morillo's division of Spanish infantry,
whicb had remained with Sir Rowland Ilill when
the other Spanish troops went into cantonments,
was placed at Ureuray with Colonel Vivian's bri-
gade of light dragoons, at Hasparien, 'in order to
observe the' movements of the enemy's division,
under, General Paris, .which upon the passage of
the. Nive had retired towords St. Palais. _
On the lath, in tluiporning, the enemy
mat (fiC the iutrcnched camp with theif—iiiitole

army, with the excerion only of what occupied
the works opposite to Sir Rowland Hill's pod-

tion, and drove in the pluinets of the light divi-

ISiqn, and of Sir John Hope's corps, and made a
most desperate attack npon•the post of the former
at the•:chateau and church of Arcangues, and upon
the advanced posts of the latter, on the high road
•
to St. Jean- de Luz, near theMayor's' hone of
Biaritz.. Both attacks•were repulsed in the ntc►st
gallant style by the troops, and Sir John Hope's
corps took about 500 prisonerS.

The brunt of the action with' Sir John Hope's
advanced post fell. upon the Ist Portuguese bri-
gade, under ptigadier-General A. Campbell,
which were on duty, and upon Major-General
Robinson's brigade of the sth division, which
moved up to their support. Lieutenant-General
Sir John Hope reports most favourably of the
conduct of those, and of all the other troops en-
gaged; and I had great satisfaetiOn in finding
that this attempt made, by the enemy upon our
lett, in order to oblige us to draw.in our right,
was completely defeated by. a comparatively small
part of our force..

Fcannot sufficiently applaud the ability, cool-
ness, nod judgment of Lieutenant-General Sir
John Hope, who, with the General and Staff Of-
ficers under his command, shelved the troops an
example of gallantry, which must have tended to
produce the_favourable result of the day.

Sir John Hope reeck;ed a seve're contusion,
which, however, I am luippy to any, has not de-
prived me for a moment of tbe benefit of his as-
