GUILDHAL 1..

On Saturday Ellen Galcr, the young widow from the
East. Indies, who was charged on a previous day with un-
lawfully pledging some articles from her furnished lodgings,
was again brought before Mr. Alderman CO'WAN. No
new complaint appeared, nor had the prisoner found any
friends, to enable her to make reparation to those she had
injured.
One gentleman, on the part of Mr. Allen, the East In-
dia bookseller, said that, as he believed she had given way
to the pressure of severe distress, if the collection of a few
pounds would enable her to restore the property she had
pledged and sustain her till she could find some mode of
supporting herself, Mr. Allen would undertake to accom-
plish that.

Mr. Alderman COWAN should be glad to see her assisted
in that manner.

The widow was then removed, in a fainting state. The
gentleman satisfied the complainants, and the prisoner was
liberated.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 18, 4 r.m.—The Royal Tar steamer I
has this moment arrived from San Sebastian, which place
she left only sixty hours since. There was a slight skirmish
on the 9th, otherwise nothing had occurred since the 6th.
It was believed that Cordova, or, as he is now styled, the
Duke of Arlaban, had rejoined his army ; but as it was not
believed that he had brought back with him honest inten-
tions from Madrid, it was not anticipated that Evans would
be enabled to advance ; the consequence ie, that our troops,
for their health's sake, must return to the town, for, without
camp equipage, the men could not continue to occupy the
lines, and they had already been three weeks in bivouac,
night and day, without shelter. Every thing that men could
do, with a probability of success, the Christinos and British
Legion at San Sebastian would do ; but hemmed in, without
the chance of a successful advance, they would get dis-
pirited. The officers were already, many of them, disgusted
with the service ; they ware satisfied they had engaged in a
cause for people who had no earnestness in it themselves, and
we should not be surprised if in less than two months
the whole Legion, British marines, and men-of-war,
were at Spithead. Cordova is evidently afraid of his
own party ; he knows that if the Queen's party were fully
successful, it is so disgusted with the Queen Regent, that it
would declare for a Republic. He is aware also that the
French dare not send a national soldier into Spain, and if
they did, that the south of Spain would, to a man, join
Carlos. To Carlos, therefore, will Cordova succumb, and
that at an early date, because lie himself is averse to a Re-
public. The Royal Tar has brought home several sick and
wounded officers, among whom we saw Colonels the Baron
de Rottenberg and M'Cabe, Captain Chadwick, 3d ; Town-
ley, Ist ; Lieutenant Tottenham, Rifles ; Lieutenant In-
man, Ist Lancers ; Mr. Gray, 7th Regiment ; and Cor-
nelius Lyne, Esq., an amateur, who has made a short visit
to view the interesting scene of the contending armies.
Lord William Paget had rejoined General Evan's staff ;
Commodore Henry was commanding the flotilla at Pas-
sages ; Colonel Considine was recovered from his wounds.
Lord John Hay and the commanders of the squadron dined
with General Evans on Sunday last, and the General and
some_ of the principal officers of the array dined with Cap-
tain Maitland, of the Tweed, on Wednesday. As an in-
stance of the bitter feeling the Carlists evince against the
Legion, they executed six prisoners they took on the 9th
in the front of our troops, fiat shooting them in the shins,
then in the knees, then in the arms, and lastly through the
body.
By the Ranger packet, arrived at Falmouth, we have
accounts from Rio to the 17th April, Bahia 30th April, and
Penambuco 7th May. All was quiet at Rio. The South
American squadron was all well. The Dublin (with the
flag of Sir Graham Hamond), the Harriet and Rapid were
at Rio ; the Harrier was to sail on the 20th April, with
Mr. Mandeville, the Minister Plenipotentiary at Buenos
Ayres and suite, who went out in the Ranger. The
Rapid was to proceed to England immediately on the ar-
rival of the Rover, expected daily with freight from the
Pacific. The Blonde, Talbot, North Star, Basilisk, and
Sparrowhawk, were in the Pacific ; the Cleopatra was at
the Northern Ports ; the Acteon and Buenos Ayres ; the
Hornet and Spider packets were employed in conveying
the mails to and from Buenos Ayres.
The Skipjack schooner left Jamaica for Chagres on the
9th of May ; the Savage, 10, arrived there on the 6th of
May from Barbadocs.

The ship Isabella, from Calcutta Feb. 17, landed pas-
sengers this afternoon ; brings no news. The Juliana had
been blown out to sea from the Cape of Good Hope, and_
after an absence of three weeks, she returned on the 12th
of April, and embarked her captain and nine passengers,
who had been left ashore. Two companies of the 27th
regiment and the whole of the 98th were at Cape Town ;
the remainder of the 27th and the 75th were on the fron-
tiers at Graham's Town. Off Corvo, on the 6th instant,,
the Isabella saw a very large Spanish schooner, with two•
guns a-midships, evidently a pirate; but seeing soldiers on.
board, she sheered off without communicating. Left
