'between 4000 and 5000 men, marched to San
Roque and and from thence io Ronda,
carrying with him 6000 stand of arms. Upon his
arrival he was j )ined by the Mountaineers, to whom
he 'distributed the arms ; this force was considered
.extremely formidable, and accounts of great impor-
tance are hourly expelled from that quarter. News

LON!) F. OSEORN V. COUNTESS MENGEN.

Mr. `PADDY sewed cause against the Rule ob-
ia:11 ed by Mr. Gatrow in' this case, fur putting off
tt.e trial till the Sittings after next Term. The ap-
pheition-was'founded oh an- affidavit, stating the
absence of tout—witnesses necessary to prove the de-
tendanCs _case, but their Lordships would be sur-
prised Co :hear that these four witnesses Were the
Countess's two servants, and t wo carpenters, whom
she had 'carried. Witt, hex to Russia', since the Pre-
sent action had been brought, no doubt with
a ew to the application now made. The action was
for dilapidatitins committed by the defendant on a
lnit6e, which she'occopiedi belonging to the plain-
tiff, and there could be no doubt the witnesses Were
tar:en out of the way on purpose.

celebrity at Thetford, in Norfolk, where she pro-
phsed taking up her residence,- but.in the first place,
totmd a-journey to Russia necessary, that she might
settle her affairs in that country.- • •
ELLgNBOROUGH could not conceive any sa-
tisfactory reason for the 'defendant's transplanting
two

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

HAMMON V. SMITH.

The proprietor of the Assembly Rooms, in Duke's-,
court,: Boxv-street, Covent-garden, known by Ithe
name of the Athenaeum Rooms, brought this aaion
against we defendant for money due and owing for
the occupation of the said rooms.
It appeareekin evidence that the defendant, in-
coniunction with others, had aaually occupied those
rooms, wherein they had several elegant assemblies.
But it also'ai-peared that the contract for the occu-
pation was made with the defendant only, and that
the convenience and comforts of the visitors, who
were .01 the most respectable classes in life, were
duly considered-by the proprietor.
On this evidence the CHIEF BARON stated to the
Jury that they must find their verdict for the plain-
tiff, observing, that it was at all titnes a grateful
consideration to. know, that in a great and extensive
Metropolis iii a this, innocent and laudable recrea-
tions could be had without affecting the pockets, or
injuring the morals of the youthful part of the corn-
munity.

Verdid for the iblaimiff to the amount stated in
his declaration.

* The following extra& of a letter from an Officer I
in Lord -Wellington's army contains some interesting
particulars ; it is dated Celerico, June-6
" On the morning of the 27th 91 April, the
Guards made a sudden march from Vizen, to the
unspeakable regret of the inhabitants, and it was
generally supposed the enemy was passing the
fiontter. In three days we readied this-place, where
-we have remained very quietly since, although kept
irr readiness to move at a moment's notice, having
one day's provisions always cooked, and three days
.biscuit..• The advance under General R. Cranford,
has fallen back upon Almeida, six leagues from
-hence ;. but w e have thrown a garrison into Fort
Conception, on the Spanish side of the Coa, and
-our videttes *parole to the banks of the Agueda,
:close to which, and in sight opposite, are the ene-
mv'6 picquets. It 'ls said the enemy has thrown a
bridge over the Agueda, ner-K
.to Ciudad Rodrigo.,
and- there is no doubt entertained in this army that
Massena will• advance as soon as the rainy season is
over-. His force is stated by deserters at 70,000; .
;but this, I .believe, includes 20,000, which are in
the North with Junot. The Generals immediately
opposed to us are Ney, Loison, Laborde, and Kel-
lerman. Regnier is in Extremadura, and I shall not
. be surprised it the attack. on Portugal is made in
, three points. Meantime we are in high spirits, and
the .arrival of Sir B. Spencer, as second in command,
.43s given great-satisfattion to the wholearmy. The
French 40 not gain ground in the favour of the Spa-
niards, and their dominion does not extend beyond
he-range or their cannon. The late Decree of the
direCiing contributions to be levied-for the
payment and subsistence of the artuies, will mate-
'operate against ;their success in the. Tenni-
sula."

By a... Gentleman who ,has just arrived from Tar-
ragona, we learn, that at that city and at Tortosai
the, inhabitants were ad.tively . engaged in making

preparations in the expetiation of a siege. The force
• already raised amounted to. about 60,00 men,. only
. two regiments of. which were completely: armed, -
accoutered and disciplined ; and the remainder, con-
. . sisting of boys from 16 to 20 years old, ,were daily'
is:ceicised in the open fields, furnished with heavy
stakes instead of muskets. That .the Military might
. receive the enemy with greater advantage should. •he

Dearly the distanie of 'a mile were levelled to the
Ground. -
