WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1812•

Vispatches of-the 29th August have-been re-
ceived from Cadiz, and we have great pleasure in
.stating, that accounts had been received there
that the little expedition which sailed from thence,
and landed in the Niebla, entered Seville on the
morning of -the 27th, after a severe contest with
the rear-guard of SOULT'S army, consisting of
about 3000 men, the greater part of which are
stated to, have been killed, wounded,' or taken
prisoners. We are sorry to add that Colonel
DowNIB was wounded.

We this morning received Cadiz Papers to the
29th ult. which we have made some'm6stin-

tercs+.ng extracts.

The French, it appears, '`are

letreating in every direction.

We were unwilling to assert anything positively
to our Readers on the subject of a Dissolution of
Parliament, but we can now venture to say, that
such a measure may be cdnfidently-expected.

This day a Council will be held at the Foreign
Office; all the Cabinet, Ministers in and near
town have been summoned to attend.

i'Y'S Coronation, the morning was ushered in with.
the ringing'of,hells, and at one o'.clock the Park

ST. VINCENT'S, JULY 4.—lt is with pain we
state that, on Smiday.night, the IVallibon Quarter,
witnessed a scene of horror and devastation,
much more terrific and destructive in its effects
than etyma the memorable night of the awful
eruption of the Morne Soufriere. Prodigious
masses Of ignited substances which were ejected
from the mouth of the Wallibon river, 'effectually
stopped the rollinrof, its waters, and a vast lake,•
in a constant state of effervescenee,- had forrntd
near its source, which continued daily to inerea.se,
till it covered about four acres of land. On Sun-
day night last, the diffusion of water
.from the fall
of heavy rains, became, so great that the 'frightful
reservoir overflowed, and the prodigious flood
burst through the barriers of volcAtue combustibles
with irresistible fury ; and such wiS its destructive
impetuoSity, that it completely inundated the ad-
jacent valley, • and besides its ravages in bearing
down a number of negro houses, several lives were
lost, and others so dreadfully scalded from the
river of liquid fire which overwhelmed them that
their lives are despaired of. The mountain, too;
duringthe dreadful scene, had a return of one of its
terrific fever fits; its roarings caused a general con-
hsternation ; and on the following night, about 11
o'clock, a most violent concussion of the earth,
such as the oldest inhabitants never experienced,
was felt all over the island.

, The Fatal. Chace.—Sinne little time ago, Mr.
of Ford, near !Arundel, lost a grey-
hound, and made strict inquiry after him, ,but to'
no purpose, until last Friday fortnight, when he
was found dead by some .reapers' amongst the
standing corn, with a hare- laying 'by his side,
both in a state of putrefaction. The pursuit and
escape, contended for in this gallant chace; by
these fleet-footed animals, it •may'lie fairly pre-
sumed, was so equally exhausted; and until they
:arted, to•,•ther.
