shoes, nor baggage, ev-ry thing must be furnish7d
by the peasants, all whose property, 'flccordin.4 to
their military creed, belongs to them. At Torres

LUCIEN BUONAPARTE reached Lt•dlow on Wed-
nesday afternoon: The presence of so remarkab'e
a stranger attracted to the inn an unusual concou,se.
of peo)le, who fdlowed both hint And Mr. MAC-
KENZIE with great eagerness in their walk round the
c istle. Lyntme.-house, near Montgomery, his in-
tended residence, requiring considerable repsits,
Lord Powts is occupied iu preparing for him a,.at her
of his seats, five miles from Ludlow,. called Stone-
house. • It was (-:xueCted that LupieN would remain
for a week or ten days at Ludlow, the beauty of the
environs appearing to attract his attention...
On Sunday se'nnight, t.tweeti
.eight and nine
o'clock, a noor woman was found lying under the
city walls, Carlisle, opposite tne county jail. H 1 t
condition was most • deplorable :=--Fier.. back and
left arm were broken, and she was otherwise: very
much bruised. She was brought into the ch y, and
every necessary assistance was immediatel pro-
cured, but it was to no purpose : her mangled sate
of body rendered tit impossible either to ,move
or to take off her clothe:, after she had been laid
down. The unhappy sufferer languished in excru,
ciating pain till Tuesday evening.
.It appears, from
the statement. given by herself, that she was-a
na-
tive of Edinburgh, who had come to Carlisle on bu-
siness ; that during her stay, in consequence of her
money having Jailed her,- the woman of the house
with whom she had lodged, had tinned her out on
the afternoon of Sunday. This led her to wander
behind the walls of the abbey and the county jail*
where she was met by two Irishmen, who began to
behaVe rudely; and, in consequence of the resistance
that she made, they tlrew her down from the wall,
which is in height not less than 30 feet. A coro-
ner's inquest sat -on the body, and brought in their
verdiet wilful murder.

Thurday morning, a violent whirlwinds'ame on
at Diss, in Norfolk, from the S. W. - A post chaise,
going over the Common at the time, was upset and
dashed to pieces. A gentleman and 'his wife, who
were in the --vehicle, had their collar-bones broken,
and were otherwise much bruised, but their ch:l.l
and. female servant remained unhurt.

cannon of large calibre. AU Orleans heard and
noticed the report, which occasioned a number of
false conjeCturts, but a report was soon spread, that
sore stones had fallen in she CoMmune of Char-
sonville, and Canton of Meung.
A memoir has since • been read
_on the subje&,
bar M. Pellier, .physician at Beaugency, before the
Physical Society at Orleans, and the Prefect has
caused the most exaB accounts to be taken of the
phenomenon. From these- we learn, that there ap-
peared in the Commune of Charsonville a brilliant,
ball of fire, which burst with a tremendous explo-
sion, and let fall three large stones, accompanied with
somke, and darted with such force that they entered
the earth to the depth of near 80 centimeters. One of
these is covered with a cross of greyish black, while
the inside, is more clear. It is very compaa, and
hard enough to cut glass. It appears to contain glo-
bules et iron, pretty large and brilliant.

SPANISH PAPERS.

CADIZ, DEC. 8.

The Marquis de Campoverde, in a letter dated the
22.1 of o,‘,lober, from Cardona, gives an account of
the remit of an at.iion which he maintained on the
clay before against the whole of the enemy's force
commanded by lgasshalMacdonald. Frain the let-
ter it appears, that the enemy had matched a ce-
luints of 3000 men on the rend to Salsona, and an-
other by the road of Milagro, to both of which the
Spanish troops opposed a strong resistance in the
course of the day 5. but at last towards night General
Campoverde ord,:red a retreat Cordona, leaving
two battalions in advance to watch the progress of
the army. Our loss 'has been very small in conva-
rison wi►h that of the enemy,, many of their dead
•being found in the mountains. Our loss has been
only three officers and five soldiers killed, thirty-
-three, wounded, one made prisoner, and two horses
killed. •
