By dispatchericeived yesterday from Sir SIDNU
SMITH, at gio-J4it;.!:); it appears that accoents had
been brought to him y Captain SMITH, whom he had
sent on a special mission to Buenos Ayres, that the
dispitches sent from'llayonne in May last, the object
of Which was to corrupt and debauch the heads of the
Constituted Authorities in that Colony, had been in.
tercepted, and the Fielich Officer who was the bearer
of them thrown into confinement.

The above dispatches are dated the beginning of
November, and were brought home by Lieutenant.,
CARROL, who has also brought accounts that liberal
subscriptions are raising at Buenos" Ayres, which the
British Admiral on that station has offered to transmit
to Spain. We know that the country is very capable.'
of affording powerful pecuniary assistance to her twee:-
sitous parent : it comprehends the famous district of
Potosi ; and has, during the last ten years, annually
remitted in specie to Europe about three millionrrei
dollars.

' It is' supposed that Lieutenant CARROL has brought'
home with him, for the approbation and ratification
of Government, some commercial arrangements be-'
tween that settlement and this country ; the princi.
pies of which bad been for some time under discus-
sion between Sir SIDNEY SMITIt and a deputation
from Buenos Ayres.

The dispatches brought by Lieutenant. CARROLL
were laid before the Cabinet, which was sitting when
he arrived.

The Spanish brig Nra. Sra. Maria Catano, from
Gijon, in five days, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday.
This vessel has brought accounts which we wish we
could credit ; that, eight days before she left Gijon,
accounts had been received of the French being defea-
ted in Catalonia, by the Patriots under General PALA-
PDX, with the loss of 18,000 men. On the ether hand.
it is strongly reported, that Ministers have received
accounts of the defeat of the Patriots in that province.
If Government have received such accounts, they are
certainly entitled to more credit than the other.
Madrid Gazettes have been received, containing a
copy of the Capitulation of that city. The terms, it
must be allowed, appear to be more favourable than
could well have been expected. The motive on tSe

part of NAPOLEON is, however, obvious. To him it
was a matter of the first importance to be able to free
his troops from the necessity of remaining in that
neighbourhood, that he might send them without de-
lay against Sir JOHN Moon& Having such an ob-
ject in view, the kind of terms given to the city of Ma.
drid, would with him be a matter of secondary int-
portance. Gaining possession of the city, wlthout de-
lay, was obtaining every thing for which he went
there ; for he knew well that, being once in possession,
whatever else he might desire could be Am:mould at
any future period.

Accounts were yesterday received, that the Mow-
Key glln-brig, which has arrived at Leith, from off
Gottenburgh, had been warned off the latter port by
signal. A report was in consequence' circulated, that
the King of Swrozx had shut his ports against all
British shipping. It is supposed, however, that the
signal was made to warn his Majesty's ships of their
danger, in consequence of the quantity of ice in the
harbour.

FRENCH BULLETIN.

The Twentieth Bulletin of the French army laa.
been received in town. It is dated Madrid, the 19t1.
ult. ; at that time BONAPAIITE, with the whole of his
army was at Madrid, and in the environs of that ca.
pital ; and he expresses in the Bulletin, his intender.
of giving his troops some days rest, after the extraor
dinary fatigues they had undergone.

The Bulletin states, that patroles of French cavalry
had pushed on as far as Valladolid, on the one side,
and to the frontiers of Andalusia on the other.—:
It also states, that the corps which had advanced to
Talavera was still at that place ; and adds, that the
cavalry had at length discovered the existence of the
English, who bad remained in so extraordinary s
manner immoveable at Salamanca ; but it does not
state how very ,dearly the French cavalry had pair*
for their discovery The Bulletin concludes wit.:
stating that the Bth division had reached Burgos.

The last letters from Cadiz state, that General
CArruwos was undergoing his trial at Seville. They
-aka add, that a private interview had taken place
between BONAPARTE and MORLA• previous to that ce-
lebrated public audience, in which his Imperial Majcq
read the Spanish General the very curious and extra.
otdinary lecture, the substance of which is given in
one of the Bulletin:. In this it was, it is said, arrang-
ed that MoRLt should facilitate the surrender of the
capital, and that the reward for his perfidy was to be
his being continued Governor of Madrid. In conse-
quence of some suspicious orders
.given by one of hi;
Aides4e-Camp, his treacherous intentions were dis-
covered-
This day a singular circumstance occurred at the
Admiralty. About 360 sailors and marines, lately
belonging to the STANDARD, which arrived a few
days ago from the Mediterranean, and from which
ship they had been turned over to the Tuusutaxa,
at Chatham, after their arrival, came in a body to
the Admiralty. These poor fellows, 'tom being long
in the Mediterranean, had arrears due to them,•which
they seemed to imagine was somehow imputable to
negligence on the part of the agents. They were
very kindly received by the First Lord of the Ami.
ralty, and learnt to tl.eir great satisfaction, that the
delay had arisen only from their being on a foreign
station, and that orders were already issued for pay.
ing them, They were highly gratified with their
reception, and instantly set off again in a body for
Chatham.
Monday, a meeting of the Privy Council took place
at the Council Office, which was attended by the
MAST= of the Rot's, Sir .EvAw. NEIMAN, and Mr.
As, upon Plantation Appeals. Their Lord-
Ships' attention was principally called to the cause of
Sir WILLIAM YOUNG O. STEWART, and SOMBOO v. the
East India Company. The proceedings of their
Lordships were adjourned rine. die upon the first cause,
and the latter was adjourned to next Monday.
Extract of a letter from an Officer on board the
NAactssus, dated off Rochefort, January 3 —O4 I have
sent this by the GIBRALTAR, which has just left this
station. We are now blockading the frigates that
escaped from Nantz and run in here during the very
hard gales a few days past. when we were blown off
the coast. You may shortly expect to see me at Ply.
mouth Dock, as I understand the Admiral has or.
dered the ALCMENE frigate to relieve us ; but she has
not yet arrived."
The beautiful frigate CLORINDE (formerly French)
the command of which has been given to Captain
'bums, has had a complete refit at Plymouth, and is
expected to sail in a few days. She is destined to go
as convoy to the first outward-bound fleet to the East
Indies. Capt. Susxus goes out with her, as Com-
missioner at the Cape of Good Hope.

CuItIOUs At/lc:non Soon after the conquest,
when the French language was first introduced into
our Courts of Law, the Society of Gray's Inn ap-
pointed an officer, whose duty it was to summon the
‘Students, &c. to dinner, at twelve o'clock, by walk-
ing through every part of the Inn, and crying out
Manger! Afange? I The office continues to the present
day, and thediity of it is discharged at the same hour,
and therefore, from the change of customs and habits,
may rather serve for a summons to breakfast than
dinner : this ancient dinner bell is called the Mangeur,
and receives a quarterly stipend for the use of his
noon-day clapper to this hour.
Cooka's re-appearance, for the first time after his
indisposition, wat last night, at COLMAN'S heatre,
distinguished by reiterated bursts of the warmest and
loudest plaudits. He performed his popular charac-
ter of Sir Pertinent Maetycolehant, in the Comedy of
The Man of the World, All the peculiarities of Sir
Pertinax were very happily given ; and, although
evidently labouring under a severe cold, yet Coons
displayed to the greatest advantage those admirable
powers which have. rendered him so deservedly a very
great Favourite with the Public.—C. Kasums, Mut-
RAY, and BRUNTON *acquitted themselves with much
propriety.—Mrs. H. JOHNSTON looked charmingly in
Lady Reddittris Liankreourt, and gave all the sarcastic
points of the Author in the most impressive manner.
Miss NORTON in Conttentia evinced also much genius.
—The assemblage was one of the hest of the season.
Among those distinction we noticed, the Duchess
of MONTROSI, Lady Sv.tuaart, Mn, Our Husua,
Lady 14.0LVT.TOT, &c.
