BURLARV.

MARLBOROUG,H-STREET.—Cook alias Fogo, well
known to the town, was charged with a burglary in
the'house of Mr. Thompson, of Tottenham-court-
road. It appeared in evidence, that the Prosecutor
was awoke fro!-* his sleep in the night by a noi•e
b low, and he immediateiy lan down stairs n iked,
and ti,und his door open. I3N perceived two men
standng on the pavement near his house, one of
whom was the priioner, and he took him into cus-
tody. It a, Feared that the shutters had been forced
with a crow bar. The prisoner was remanded for
further examination. Another man was yesterday
taken into custody as an accomplice in the burglary.

UNION-HALL.-YeSteiddy the young man who
in custody' on suspiciun of a burglary in the shop of
Mr. Taylor, of Kingston, underwent another exami-
nation.

Mr. ANDREIiis attended on behalf of the prisoner,
and offered ni priive alibi.—On account of the
abst.m.e of a 'material witness, however, he was re.
minded.

Ifm..Bui-ize"tt and his wife, an ancient couple, ap-
parently lirtl,7 less than seventy years .ot age, were
cmvicied nt pleiging the
_furniture ,of their ready
foriiished kcigiogs.
The unfortunate pair pleaded diStres's in excb-e for
the offence they had committed ; .and. the M igi-
striae humanely inflicted the, lowest fine the law
allows in sucti a case. Not being prepared to pay
it, however; the miserable old.man was comm,tted
for a week. ; his vy;fe was ordered to be discharged.

DERRY, SEPT. 5.

.At • ati early hour in the. morning of Wednesday
lait, Mr. Delap,.co.lector of taxes, left Bellagny for
Derry, to make his monthly payment at theoffice
ti.ere ;. hut when about .a .mile from theformer
place, he was attacked by two men, who abused
him very much,
.and lobbed/ him of upwards of
2501. in bank-notes; after which they attacked him
again, and took his pocket-book and a considerable
,sum in tank-notes.

, . ---
On Stnidy last the Honour-31)1e .and Right Rev.
the Lofd Bishok of Derry held Ordination in the
parish chttrch of Kahan, when the Reverend Alex-
ander Rcs', „The Reverend George Mansfield, and
the Rev. ,V.. 8. Forde, were admitted to the order.
of Piiestliood. I
- .

Among the interesting proceedings and occur-
rences at,the late Derryi few, if any, ar-
resicti, more the getteralattention than the personal
appearance of thelitstuip of Derry, coming forward
to avail himself of the earlieit opportunity afforded
by, the Assizei, of. making, the necessary affidavit
before one ut the J-dges of the land, on sshtch affi-
davit, we understand, the prosecutions against the
editors of the malicious attacks upon his Lordship's
character, stating .hint to have become a bankrupt,
,arc. must oeceswarily be tounded:

LI FPOIiD.

A cause was tried at our:Assizeb before the Sou-
crfort-GmrgE,Rat..atid a re4,e6.1:-thle Jury, in which
EdWard Dogiierty, a. farther: in the comity of .Done-
gal, was plairltitf, ank; Pat. Connolly, an a.sistant,
surgeon in the _phhiiu City Militia, -was defendant.
The att;em was to recover damages for the loss of
the servites of ltis Step-daughter, who was some
time agq 'seduced: by the plaintiff; •:the damages
were laid at 500 k. The pleadings were opene,iby,
Mr. FIN L4Y, and the case in a very able SpeeCh from
Mr. TOARENti.

The circumstances appeared in evidence tolie the
foll,,wing :-;--rhe defendant was stationed with a
party of •his regiment at Duticrana, where he met
with the plain, if f, and made her various pre,ents,
which' induced plaintiff to imagine his profession*:
of love %a:ere sincere. The defendant was e;,ablrd
to .have frequent interviews with the, girl, in conse-
quence of his, in his professional capacity, visiting
a sick relation of- her's. By the evidence of the
young woman herself it appeared, that the defend-
ant had made many solemn protestations and oaths
that he-never would forsake her. It appeared that
'the defendant had made scim dishonourable remarks'
of this girl to another, at which she immediately
felt most indignant, and went to return his presents;
the defendant, however, slid persevered in his for-
mer assertions. He seduced, her—and pregnancy
Was 'he consequence. The case was much aggra-
. vated on the part of the defendnt, by it appearing
that he refused to make any provision for the child,
although frequently requested to do so. There was
no evidence produced fordefendant.
After an able aiid luminous charge from the SO-
LICITOR:-GENERaL, in which he clearly laid down
the law, and most eloquently commented on that
part of the ev4ence, in which it appeared the un-
fortunate girl had been dectrved by the defendant's
scred,,ows,

Jury, in a few minutes, returned a verdia for
plaiutin, leo!. and dd. costs.

By a passenger on board the picket. from Lisbon,
it is said, that it the British army. could be so:dis-
posed as to protest deserters from the'-enemy, it was
the opinion at head-quarters that the fugitives from
the French standard 'would, be extremely numerous.
A letter from an Officer of rank mentions, that riot
only foreigners abandon die army of- MasseNA,
but Frenchmen also, and that. while he .wgs writ-
ing, three of this description of persOns were en-
tering- his tent. The subsequent extraa is from
one of our letters.

"•Coimbra, August zg

" The inaetivity of the French appears most ex-
traordinary, for we have certainly derived the great-
. est advantage from it, inasmuch as it has afforded
us time to enforce the discipline of the Portuguese
troops.. Almeida is certainly not the cause of their
not advancing ; that place is easily masked, and is
no .wv dangerous to therri. I am inclined to think
...that they are waiting for reinforcements, conceiving
that the army actually upon the frontiers of thec
country, is not sufficient for its object. I do not
think. they have above 60,000 men at present to to us, aid the result of a baffle would be at his;
but -uncertain. I am therefore of opinion, that
~;theY will reinforce Regnler's division, and by
throwing a large force on our flank and rear, to-.
wards Castillo-Blanco, force us to retreat behind.
the riverZezeri, 'where we shall probably make a
stand, ,and if they oi'erpower us, retreat to-our for-
tified position near Lisbon, where the great battle
Will take.place.
I shall now endeavour to give you •an idea of
the nature of oor Portuguese -Legions. - The ,Male
population of the country, from .15 to 50 years of
age, :are armed under three different classes: A re-
.gular army of upwards of 30,000 men; well discip-
lined, and chiefly commanded by Eogl'sti Officers,
forms the first class. A Militia of abbot the same
strength, but very indifferently disciplined, to, ms
the second class. The third is a' levy en masse,
who are armed with fowlipg-pieces, pikes, &c. but
untrained, though under some sort of Controul., Lt
. respect to the first clash, they have arrived at a state
of,discipline that astonishes all who see them.; they
want nothing but a sufficient number of good Offia
cers. The Militia have not been sufficiently attend-
ed to ; if each regiment of this body tad, had two or
three English Officers at their head, they might
at this moment have been nearly equal to the re- •
giments, of the line ; whereas, their services must
at present, for .want of. sufficient organizationi be
very limited,. and totally inefficient in all great
mili-
tary operations. The third class have, been too
much neglected ; they might have .been-assembled
in their villages occasionally, and taught just as
much, military knowledge as was necessary, without
breaking in upon their Other pursuits. It ought to
have been pointed out to them how. they were to
procure ammunition ; -how far they had the means
of annoying the enemy, by attacking their detach-
ments, their. patroles, foraging partiei, their 'bag-
gage and provisions on the march, their stragglers,
&c.; how they could defend their villages; how
they Might. clog and distress all their movements,
by. hiding their provisions and forage, by driving
their cattle, by breaking up the roads, destroying
the mills, &c. &c. Rewards ought likewise to have
been held out to them. Such sort of information
ought, no doubt, have been instilled into the minds
of the people, and the priests might have been made
instrumental in working upon their feelings, wnich
would have led them to active operations against
the enemy of their commerce, their independence,
and their religion:"

TARRAGONA, AUG. 1.- We have the best
grounded hopes that the siege of Tortosa will be
quickly raised by the French ; we 4o not know their
exati strength, but 10,000 is the utmost. The di-
visions of Caro and O'Donough have crossed the
Guadalquiver, and are coming down uron the
French with t 6,000 men,well armed and disciplined.
O'Donnel is also marching in the same direction.—
Thus the French will soon be attacked on all sides.
The operations of these troops will be assisted by the
fine garrison of Tortosa, which is about i oAoo
strong. Should"we succeed, it will be one of the
most important affairs that has occurred since the
commencement of the •lievolution. Barcelona is
closely guarded and watched ; not a single, man stirs
out but is interrupted. The convoys are daily in-
tercepted, and on the 28th ult, we received intelli-
gence that 100 men Jell into our hands, who were
endeavouring, in the night, to convey into the
town several waggons of provisions. In other_parts
of Catalonia, tlungs go on equally well, and although
sometimes our troops are compelled to retire, yet
they generally get the better of their enemies, acid
when they do retreat, from their knowledge of the.
country, they are enabled to do the enemy infinite

Letters from Majorca represent matters equally
well there. A large corps of troops have been
organized in that island. We are told that the
Patriots have ravaged the other side of Pyrennees,
and the officid details of several noble achieve-
monis have been transmitted to the Cadiz Re—
gency.
