Ferrol, which was abandoned pi the Spaniards, I,
and lies only 21 miles north-east of Corunna,
would strengthen the French, even with the
aid -of Morale, so much as to advance on Vigo.
Knowing, as Bourck and- Huber must, that a
strong Constitutional force of 7000 men was
organised at Orense, only 37 miles from Santiago,
and' at . Vigo both, and ready to act at once against
the'dispreited French the moment they retreated
—this morement is any thing but likely ; but the
French, accounts now possess nothing like truth.
The'COntest - and loss before the walls of Co-
runni are Wholly suppressed in these papers ; a
proa of their truth and impartiality ! Guillemi-
not's dispatch states the captUre, by the French
frigate' Antigone, before Cadiz, of a Spanish
vessel !from °Manilla, of 500 tons, with from
45 W. 50,000 piasties on board. The French,
hoirever, have not been exclusive in their captures.-- Their commerce and vessels have suffered
severelpfrorn the Spaniel corsairs and privateers.
The" last soilie made by the garrison of Pampe-
.luna, in which the Army of the Faith before the
Walls was cut to. pieces, is also detailed
in this dispatch. With the wonted' truth of
the French' dispatches, it states, that on the
Nth' the garrison or Pampeluna made a sally,
with about 1,200 men, supported by two pieces
of cannon. The attack was directed principally
agaitfit the Royalist Spaniards before the walls*,
And begun on the right ; but the attack' anti de.:
fence Was particularly' lively on the left.' The
impartial bulletin then slates the Constitution-
,alista to have had thirty killed ; and the Faith
Banditti font killed and 52 wounded; The
Courier Erungaii mentions the positive departure
of kngitileme oti; the 28th for Seville ;' he wait()
be' escorted by three battalions of the veld and
-
a squadron of Ifuzzars.' After this detachment the
garrison of Madrid would be weak indeed. Ou-
dinot was to take the command of the rennfiant
of the French force in the Spanish capital ;' but
the slay of the French, we venture to' pro:
phesy, wilt' by short in thae city. The last
-letters froth thence mention that a Constitutional
corps was' established at Getafe, a village in the
very neighbourhood ;and that Quesada had set on't
with some troops to.encounter it. The French
General. Pamphile La Croix had arrived at Bour-
deaux, froM Spain. The last letters from'Bay-
onne of the 26th July state, that the Spanish '
Royalists before Pampeluna suffered mist se-
verely in the list sortie, and would' have ,been
annihilated but for the,timely arrive l of the Frekh
troops :. they incurred, as it, Was, a most se-
vere loia.. ". The heavy artillery from Narbonne
and Bayonne was proceeding' in the first instance,
before Pampeluna,, the regular siege of which is
announced under the direction' of Lauriston. Lc-
ride, should the new Marshal be successful, is
subsequently to be attacked. These sieges, and'
their successes, will, however, depend Much 61,

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Yesterday morning a
dreadful accident occurred in the High-street,
Islington., A respectable watch-finisher, named
SWINDELL, of Brackley-street, Golden-lane, was
Passing along the-carriage. road towards the turn-
pike as a groom on horseback, with two horses
following, haltered one behind the other, came
up, when the hinder horse suddenly turned
round and flung at Mr. S.; both the hind feet
coming between the unfortunate. man's shoulders,.
the force of 'the kick dashed him on his face
against the kirb-stone, with such violence as to
crush in both his jaws and carry away his teeth ;
in this deplorable condition he was conveyed to
St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
