BREACH OF PAROLE.

WHEREAS the Ffeneb General of Brigade
MAURIN, and-'!eis Brother, Capt. MAUWN, did, on
the Ist of this Month, abscond fr(ii Abergavenny, viol -
lion of their Parole of Honour, and there is every reason to
suppOse; that they were aided in their Escape by the same
British Subject or Subjects, who had fornierly aided in the
Escape of the French General Lefebvre, from Cheltenham. •

A Reward of TWO TIUNDRED POUNDS is hereby offered

The next arrival from Portugal will probably
be very important. The following intelligence,
which we this morning received from Plymouth,
though we think in many parts too highly eo=
. loured, yet shews. that some decisive ?)low is' .on
,the point oLbeing struck in Spain :
" PLYMOUTH) SEPT. I'LL-By the ,Rota, which
arrived here-yesterday, the following Intelligence
is received : that the Marquis of WELLINGTON
was nt Olmedo on the 6th irisf; SouLr's Arnie ,i
reported -to be comp:etely surrounded. by the
forces under his Lordship, General HILL (who-is.
in communication with Madrid; where his Lord-
ship left two divisions of the Ariny) and Genera!
MAITLAND. SOIJLT has thus no Other alternative
but to fight with desperate odds, or to surrender'.
The intrusive King JOSEPH is gone to Arragon,
and the advanced posts .6f the Allies extend
,to
Toledo, and Aranjuez. Bilboa, the capital of
-Biscay, is occupied by the Spaniards, under MEN-
fee - s pizABEL, who lso little fear of any further
interruption from CAFFARELLI, that he has marched
with a detachment for Santona, to co-operate
with the British attacking'it. `bAL,LASTEAOS is
reported to be harassi :cc; the rear of SOIILT'S
army, and General MAITLAND is said to havebeat
SucHET.. Malaga was 'evacuated by the French
on the 27th August, after having destroyed the
Casty of Gibralfaro. General HILL had on the
7th Sept. united Xll 13s forces at Vifianova de la
ena.

" The Rota left in theTai...its his Majesty's ship
Impetue:tx, and the packet; D;tke of Kent, Captain
COTESWORTH, arid ,D4ke of Marlborough, Captain
BULL; the latter arrived at Lisbon on the 13th.
These packets were kept there to wait the issue of
the expected battle.

" ThePylades sloop of war, with Major-General
OSWALD, sailed from Lisbon for Gibraltar the
same day as the Rota departed for England.

" Lieut.-General the Han. Sir EnwARD PA-
GET, and Brigadier-General BARNES, with their
respective staffs, proceeded to join •the, army on
the 14th.

" The Sabrina was expected doily at Lisbon, from
Oporto, withatlarshal BERESFORD , who returns for
tly2 benefit of his health. Lieut.-General LEITH
was recovering fast, and probably would be en-
abled to resume his military duties in about six
weeks. The Jasper, and a convoy of- trans-
ports, with in7glids and wounded soldiers,
1000 French prisoners, and 1.50-officei.s, sailed on
the 10th inst. The Standard and St. :Alban's averts
expected from Cadiz to convey home 600 more
prisoners. Fire thousand prisoners are waiting at
Lisbon to be brought to this country, about 200
of which are daily employed in the arsenal. One
hundred and fifty prisoners arrived in the Rota."

We this morning received Quebec Papers to the
13th of August, from which the following are

extracts

QUEBEC, AUG. 13.—His Excellency.the Gover-
nor in Chief set out for Montreal between 4 and
5 o'clock on Friday morning. The troops which
were,encarnped on the plains, have also proceeded

£,Jr the upper district.

We see by the American. Papers that they are
attempting to deceive the people of that country,
a second time, with regard to the disposition of

fie Canadians. •
For the past we refer them to , the reports: of
the Commissioners sent into this Country in 1775,
with the pious 'mission of converting the people
from the errors of loyalty, to the light of rebellion;
and to the dispatehes of their Generals here in
1776. For the present we have already. referred'
them to their own countrymen, who have left
C tnada since the declaration of war. If they will
he deceived, they may cherish their error.

The greater-the delusiont the greater their dis-
comfittire. We would advise them, however,
when fabricating the next address to the inhabi-
tants, to Apply to the people of Baltimore for a
paragraph On " Liberty i"' to the host of thieves,
arvir.diers, and countedeiters, Who have occasion-
ally
ally visited us from thenited.Staies, for an ar-
,
•ticle on "Property." The Governinent,
ima-
gine, can furnish all that is necessary to be said
about " Respect at home and abroad‘;" and what
more do they want to vamp up a spirit-stirring
:"! ,Oh yes, the`' want a few wo:As from

in''':"r" RODGERS, about " courage, gener-
,, - they want Mpnsieur SERRU-.

mil to tut Ale wtole French, and he can add,
on the part of his master, a sentence or two about
" justice and good faith," andrqhe liberty of

the seas."

EXT4ACT OF A LETTER- FROM NEW yor,Yr, DATED
JULY 29.

At Sandwich, Governor NULL landed on tlyz:
12th inst. without oppositibn, with about 800
or 1000 !nen. He has made three unsuccessful
attempts at the river Canard,, ,where his partied
!ilve been repulsed. . I trust, before Jong, Mr.
tfuLL will have reason to repent his crossing the
Detroit.

[FROM TTIE AMERICAN PAPERS.]

ZANESVILLE, JULY 22.—We.are happy to an-
nounce the glorious news that Gen. HULL and his
army have landed safe in Canada, with little or mo
pposition, and talsen possession Of the town of
Sandwich, two miles below Detroit .on the Eng-
lish Side.—There is no mar to this pleasing hews
but the capture of a number of Americans in some
vessels laden with provisions and some baggage
of the army, among whom we are sorry to -
learn • is Mr LEWIS DENT, Paymaster, from.-
this town, Capt. JonN SHARI', of Marietta, a Lieu:,
tedaiit in the 4th regiment, some - women, and
others. It is said the total prisoners are about
50, and the loss of property 40,000 dollars (in-
cluding probably some vessels not here enume-
rated.) The report of Mr. fluomEs, chaplain of
the army, and two of 'Colonel ByxßEE's (laughterS being taken, is unfounded. The post-
rider last evening 'direct from. Urbana, • and
Who brought us ,General num.'s • pfaclatnation
of the 12th inst. states, that a Quarter-Master
had arrived at Urbana, fyotn Sandwich, who
verbally gave the Melancholy information that
.after crossing, the river, a soldier in the act of
trying his gun, not supposing it loaded, it went
off and the ball passed through Major Myr:- •
SONS arm and entered his body as he. was
,go-
ing into hiS tent. He was not expective to five.
Col. CABS, after the army arrived at DetrOit (which,
was on the 6th ,and 7th) went to Fell 'Malden,
with a flag of truce, .and demanded the prisone:•s,
but without eft.ect. By deserters it wus
rained that the force in Malden consisted o: alkout
1100, 700 of -;vhom arc Indians.

Last nisht Paris Papers to the 23d inst...reached
town. They contain two unofficial letters, one
from BUONAPARTE's head-quarters, and another
•
from \Vilna, stating- fa:tt the Russimis had, been
defeated at Mojaisk. One I.4etter says the victory
was on the 7th, and the 'other that it was on
the Bth inst. but they give no particulars. The
accounts, therefore, rest solely upon the autho-
rity of the French Papers. •

We also rebeiVedAmc tican Papers to the 12th alt

tions entered into, in various parts of the United
States '_against the. war, which is very generally
