CORUNNA, NOVEMBER 27.

We know officially, that we have in Leon an army
of 20,000 men, with its General, the Marquis de la
Romana, and almost all the artillery.

DECEMBER I.—By letters from Saragossa, dated'
the 18th ult. we learn, that the army of Arragon
was at Capparosa and in its vicinity, and Seignor
Castanos a few leagues from Tudela with his. The
Arragonese were every day joining the army, full of
enthusiasm and valour.
ADDRESS OF THE SUPREME JUNTA.

" SPA:wows—The Central Junta of Government
of the Kingdom, after having taken all measures in
its power to defeat the enemy, who, continuing his
attacks, has advanced into the neighbourhood of Sa-
mozierra, addresses you for the purpose of putting
you upon your guard against the intrigues with which
the perfidious Agents of Napoleon endeavour to alarm
and deceive you, by exaggerating the number of the
enemy's troops, who hardly amount to eight thou-
sand men, according to the reports made by the Ge-
nerals whom the Junta has charged with the defence
of the important post of Guadariana.
" Inhabitants of Madrid ! the country stands in
need of your exertions : your circumspection and pr

triotism are the bulwarks on which it chiefly rests its'
defence. The Junta trusts that you will know how
to support the dispositions of your Captain General,
and of the Tribunal of Vigilance, in order to disco-
ver and deliver to the inexorable arm of the la*, all
traitors, vk ho will now exert themselves mote than
ever to introduce disorder, and paralize the activity
with which you must be armed ; bearing in mind
the 2d day of May, when deprived of all assistance,
and even of the liberty to defend yourselves, you'
struck the whole nation with astonishment, by your'',
loyalty and valour.
a The Central Junta cannot express to you the
confidence inspired by the enthusiasm with which the
soldiers of the nation prepare themselves to beat the
enemies of our beloved Sovereign, Ferdinand VII.
our country, and our religion. Our Allies, the Eng-
lish, convinced of the justice of the cause we defend,
and animated by the same enthusiasm, are united and
ready to march, to reinforce the position chosen by
our wise General, and to support the operations of
our van, which must already have encountered the
slaves of the tyrant who oppresses all nations. Spa•
niards, cowardice, inspired by treason, will no doubt
try means to augment the dangers, exaggerated by
the evil-disposed, in order to frustrate the measures
pursued by the Junta, which places implicit confidence
in your unexampled fidelity and obedience.
" By order of the Supreme Junta.
(Signed) ca MARTIN DE GARAY.

THE AMY:

One half of the 14th regiment of Light Dragoons,
unclet orders for Spain, were embarked in transports
at Falmouth on Sunday last. The remainder were
embarked on Monday. The officers and men, in both
instances, were all in high spirits, and the horses in
excellent condition. The transports are expected to
sail with the first Mr wind.
On Wednesday and Thursday last, 546 of the
Workington, Harrington, and Maryport Volunteers
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel CURWILN,
transferred their services into the Local Militia, and
were sworn in at Whitehaven. Of the 54. wanting to
complete the corps, many were prevented attending
from sickness and the shortness of the notice, no inti-
mation being given until Wednesday morning. The
Officers have, with equal spirit, unanimously volun-
teered their services.

Letters from Prince Edward's Island, to the Ist of
November, state, that Sir GEortoz Pasvorr was, on
the 25th of October, waiting at Halifax the arrival of
the 49th regiment, from Canada, to sail from thence
with the secret Expedition ; and that Major-General
MARTIN HUNTER returns from New Brunswick, to
take the command in Sir G. PREVOST'S absence. The
Expedition is supposed to be destined against Marti-
nique.

The Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of the
Firstror Royal Scots Regiment, were liberally enter-
tained at Chelmsford, on St. Andrew's Day, with
beef, plum-pudding, and strong beer, ad libitum, at
the expence of their illustrious Colonel, the Duke of
(ENT.

Friday, the Lord Provost and Magistrates of
Glasgow gave an elegant entertainment, in the Black
Bull Inn, to the Right Honourable Lord CATHCART,
Commander in Chief in Scotland, and to Admiral
Sir SAMUEL HOOD. After dinner, and the, healths of
the King, the Queen, the Royal Family, his Majesty's i
Ministers, &c. &c. the Lord Provost rose, and ad-
dressed Lord CATHCART and Sir &datum:Hoop, in
an appropriate speech ; after which his' Lordship pre-
sented them with the freedom of the city, and their

Amongst others the Honourable F. CATHCART, aid-
-de-camp to the Commander in Chief, Honourable 1
Colonel CADOGAW, Honourable Majors MURRAY and
1 CATHCART, ARCHIBALD CAMPIALL of Blythswood,
M. P. &c. &c.
DRURY-LANE THRATRE.--The Melo-Drama of
Yemeni • or, The Novice of St. Mari':, was performed
last night, at this theatre. Ber.veen the second and
third acts, Mr. WaotrowroN came forward, and ad-
dressed the audience. He said, the Proprietors hoped
they were convinced how great their wish was to meet
with the approbation of the public ; the Author of
Venoni, in furtherance of that wish, had desired the
present third act might be withdrawn, in order to sup-
ply another, which, with their approbation, he meant
to produce on Monday next. He now claimed the
indulgence of the audience for the third act, for the
last time. This address was well received. The
house boasted a splendid display of fashion.

HAY-MARKET.Mr. COLMAN'S play of The African:
was last night represented with the strength of the Co-
vent-Garden Company. At the conclusion of the
performance, there was a considerable disturbance by
Gentlemen who call themselves farlsionalk, but it was
happily determined by the discretion and spirited re-
solution of Mr. BRANDON.

The new farce of The Moil for Author: proves
extremely attractive. The genuine comic humour it
possesses cannot fail to prove satisfactory to those who
prefer the true offspring of the drama to the unmean-
ing scenes of modern spectacle.
Yesterday, as a lady was riding oa horseback, ac-
companied by her servant, in St. James's Park, her
horse suddenly took fright at the firelock of the senti-
nel who stands at the Prince of WALES'S gate. Find-
ing herself unable to check the spirited animal, she,
with much alertness, disengaged herself from the
stirrup, and jumped off; and upon the horse being
brought back, which was stopped at the Horse Guards,
remounted, and rode on with as much composure as
if no accident had happened.

Tuesday evening a gentleman alighted from his
horse near the end of Bond-street, in Oxford-street.
A decently-dressed -youth, 14 years of age, of the
name of Towes, the son of a tradesman inHanover- '
yard, took charge of the animal, and was cautioned
not to mount it ; the youth, however, direrarded the
caution, and rode the horse into Cavendish-square,
where the animal became extremely restive. The
boy had got his feet in the' stirrup-leathers, and on
being thrown he was dragged iseveral hundred yards
by the horse going at full speed, and on being taken
up, in Oxford-street, there were no signs of life.
The Caufssi_sloop of wit-, Captain WELLS, arrived
in Yarmouth Roads on Monday. She had been cruiz-1
in g in the. Sleeve since October ; in the course of
which time, she had captured the Rinaldo Danish
privateer, of 10 guns, and ten sail of vessels, laden i
with provisions, deals, iron, &c. A few days since,
the CRUISER fell in with a Danish squadron, consist-
.l
ing of his Majesty's late sloop the Seagull, a brig of
20 guns, and three ships mounting 24 guns each, and '
a cutter, the whole of which she chased into Chris- !
tiansand. The object of the Danes was to attack the '
fleet just arrived from the Baltic ; fortunately for the
parties interested, Captain WELLS fell in with them.
The conduct of this pliant officer is spoken of with
the highest approbation.
Arrived at Limerick the Margaret:, HARDIE, from
Miramichie, after a passage of 28 days. On the 14th
November, in lat. 50. 20.-N. long. 85. SO. W. fell in
with the Olive Branch, of Pool, Captain JosEPH
FRAMPTON, from Liverpool, bound to Newfoundland,
in great distress, having sprung a leak then blowing a
hard gale from the N.N.W. Captain HAaraz could
give no assistance but lay by him ; on the 18th at 8
A.M. more moderate, took the crew out of her. The
Olive Branch went down three hours after ' • the mas-
ter, Mate, and several of the crew very much exhausted
through fatigue, having been In that leaky state for
four days before the Margaret: fell in with them.
