By HENRY HUNTER, D.D.

" We praised the work for the boldness and originality of the
conception on which the plan was formed ;—for its comprehen-
siveness, being commensurate, in a certain AerSet with Nature
itself ;—for the native genius and deep research with which the
author treats, embellishes, and enriches the subject ;—and for the
eloquent and lively diction in which he discusses topics, which,
under the pen of an ordinary writer, would have been dull, ela-
borate, and revolting, &c. &c."

M!LADI; JULY 16.

A troop of robbers, whu descended from the neigh-
bouring mountains of the Tyrol, after having been
disperyrd by the garrison of Vicenza, attempted to
rally in the environs of Lonigo, and seize upon 'that
town. but.this project was but a source of shame
to them.
The gendarn-.erie and tip^ national guard beat them
compleftly, and pursued them so nobly, and so far,
that it is doubted vi ether they will henceforth rally,
or make the lcast attempt again.

AMERICA.

The Pacific hay.ing returned, we yesterday received
leiters and papers from America, by the way of Li-
v:,..rprol, seven days latter than those which had pre-
viously arrived. One from New-York, dated July
the 2d, says, that notwithstanding the long cessation
of imports, on account of the Embargo and Non-In-
tercourse Laws, sales of dry goods, to use the com-
mercial phrase, were very heavy. This effect seems
to be the necessary conseruence of the immense sup-
plies of merchandise of this description, which were
sent from England on account of the insufficiency of
demand in the markets'of Nurope.
Bills were extremely scarce, and were not to be
obtained under 11 per cent.
It was supposed that no fewer than 1,120 vessels
had sailed from New York only, since the date of the
negociation with Mr. ERSKINE.
I We have frequently had occasion to notice the in-
fringements of the embargo regulations, which it was
imagined would expose the violator of the laws to pu-
nishment. The following case will remove all un-
certainty as to the supposed operation of the penal
statute. It is that of the United States versus Wm.
Smith, in which an indictment was found for the breach
of the embargo laws, when the judgment of the court
was thus entered up. " The offence charged in the
indictment being a new offence, created by statute,
and a penalty being prescribed for the commission of
that act, the penalty alone is recoverable, and the act
is not indictable. Therefore the Court is of opinion
that the said indietinent ought to be quashed,.and it
is hereby quashed."

OE the 88,000 men who* dtt Esiglish had a,
embarked, we may be assured that scarcely 24,000
will return to England.
" The army of Romana, which at the end of De-
cember, by the aid of reinforcements which it bad
received from Gallicia, consisted of 16,000 men, is
reduced to less than 5000 men, who are wandering
between Vigo and Santiago, and are closely pursued.
The kingdom of Leon, the province of Zamora, and
all Gallicia,. which the English had been desirous to
cover, are conquered and subdued.
" The General of Division Lapis* has sent pa
troles into Portugal, who have been well received
there.

“ General Maupetit has entered Salamanca ; he
met there with some sick of the English troops.
(At the end of the Bulletin is inserted an intercepted letters
dated Santiago, Jan. 1809, and signed L.E. Thum]
The 29th and 30th of the French Bulletins have
arrived. The former dated Valladolid, 16th Jan. re• .
lates to transactions hi the centre of Spain, and states
that the Duke de Bellune had compelled 300 officers, '
two Generals, seven Colonels, 20 Lieutenant-Colonels,
and 12,000 men to lay down their arms while retreat-
ing to Alcazar. The Commander, "k nommei
Nrcus,” was killed. The Bulletin afterwards re-
cites the Addresses of the Council of State and other
public bodies at Madrid, to the COnqueror.
But the 30th, which relates to the battle of Corun-
na, is too important to be abridged. We offer no
comment on the gasconading statement, nor is it ne-
cessary. Ourtroops were eventually obliged to leave
the field to the enemy, a circumstance which in itself
gives them a right to boast.

In victory died the Hero Mooat!

RAMSGATE, FEBRU4AtLY I.

The Ruby transport, Captain CHAPMAN, arrived
in our harbour this afternoon, with three companies of
the 52d regiment, 2d battalion, making together 264 .
men, and 19 officers, including Lieutenant Colonel
Ross of the said regiment. The Ruby sailed from
Vigo on the 24th ult. and was the last transport there:
when she left that port, a large body of French troops,
said to amount to 30,(00 men, was within seven
miles of Vigo. The Captain of the Ruby reports, that
he was informed great riot and depredation had taken
place at Vigo the day before he sailed, so soon as it
was' known that a French force was near. This ves-
sel has encountered much bad weather, and parted
company with the other transports two or three days
since. They were unacquainted with the death of
General Moon!, until they were informed of it by a
Dover pilot. These five companies of the 52d regi-
ment are expected to march to Deal to-morrow, where
both the battalions of this regiment are to be quar-
tered.

TILE KING V. STONEVIELD.

The Defendant, a poor old woman, aged 65, had
been convicted at the Lancaster Assizes of endea-
vouring to persuade Willam Laurence, a soldier in
the 66th regiment, 2d battalion, to desert from his
Majesty's service. The boy, not much more than 15
years of age, was found in the Defendant's house, in
a secret room entering by a trap door, where there
were at the time two other boys whom the prisoner
was secreting fir the merchant sea service. The boy
swore on the trial that the Defendant asked him into
her house, that he told her he was a soldier ; but she
asked W it would not be better for him to go to sea ?
If he would go, she said she would give him £5. He
again said, he was enlisted as a soldier. She told
him that was of little consequence, he could change
his name, and she would give him a different dress.
The Defendant, on the otherside, adduced her daugh-
ter and servant, who stated that the boy called in
consequence of an advertisement which the Defen-
dant had put out for a substitute for her son, who had
been impressed, and that he represented himself as a
young man just come from the country.. The Jury
found the prisoner Guilty.

Mr. RAINS aadressed the Court in mitigation of
punishment, principally relying on the age and po•
verty of the Defendant, and on the fact of her having
four sons in his Majesty's service, which rendered it a
still more severe stroke on her to have her fifth son
taken away, for whom it was not unnatural that she
should be anxious, by any means, to provide a sub-
stitute.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL, for the prosecution,
though he could not be insensible to the spectacle
now exhibiting before their Lordships, 'still felt it
absolutely necessary for his Majesty's service that the
punishment, for an offnce like the present, should not
be light. When he stated, that, in the same place,
the sane practices had since gone on, so that, from
one regiment, fourteen desertions had taken place, in
Liverpool, he did not mean to aggravate the present
case, but only to plead his own excuse for calling on
the Court for judgment.
Mr. Justice LE BLANC, after pointin' out to the
Defendant the enormity of her offence, of her gnilt,
to the full extent of which she must have been sen-
sible, else she never would have resorted to a place
of concealment in which to lodge the boy, stated, that
there were only two modes of punishment left to the
option of that Court : The former was a penalty of
£4.0 ; or, in case of the inability of the party-, or more
than ordinary enormity of the offence, a punishment
in the discretion of the Judge, of imprisonment for a
period not exceeding six months, and that the per-
sons so imprisoned should stand once in the pillory.
Her poverty, it appeared from her affidavit, prevented
the Defendant from discharging the first part of the
alternative in the Act of Parliament, withoat inflict-
ing on the Defendant too great a proportion of pu-
nishment ; nothing, therefore, remained for the Cow t

Ihim violently in the chest with his elbow. He theft,
indeed, laid hold of h:rn by his coat for the purpose
of saving himself from falling through the vinlence or
the push, and had committed no other assault.
Captain O'Brien, and another gentleman, proved
' the same circumstances on behalf of M. 17:er !. The
complainant, however, swore positively that he was
assaulted first by the defendant, who w.t discharged
on his own :ecognizances.
About 11 o'clock, Abraham Marl Braham, a .Te,
fi was brought to the office:, charged by a young man
named Bradley, resident at No. 45, Threadne-e ile-
street, with picking his pocket of a silk handkerchief,
in the Pit of Covent.( auden Theatre, on Wednesday
night. --The complainant, however, was unable to fis
the act with sufficient certainty upon the prisoner, who
was discharged accordingly.

BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER 14.

The unpleasant bustle occasioned by departures .c
still here predominant. The town, in truth, has been
deprived of much elegant company during the two
last days, and various families are yet on the eve of
quitting us. But to take a view of what is going
forward at Brighton at this time, on the brighter side,
we have to notice, that Lord and Lady CLoNmELL,
Lady BATHURST, and Lord BOYNE, are in the last
list of arrivals of importance.
Sir GODFREY Wslitrun is here with part of his re-
giment, the worthy Baronet being an t? id-de Camp
of the General of the district. Lord C. SOMERSET
has taken a house near the Steyne, where jovial dinner
parties, refined mirth, and good old English hospita-
lity, are daily to be found.
The Ball at the Castle last night was far from
being numerously attended ; perhaps another week
may produce something better there than what the
present has called forth, which the liberal attention of
the proprietor of the rooms, Mr. TILT, to the accom-
modation of the company, is well and wot thily en-
titled to expect.

1 0 1 HI: EDITOR OF THE STAR.

SlR—About ten minutes since a friend of mine
handed me your Paper of this day week, in which I
tind a letter addressed to you by " An Old Soldier."
Were I to indulge my individual sentiments, I should
not condescend to notice this letter, but as an Officer
of the British Army, 1 owe the service a duty which is
paramount to any feeling of a private nature. It re-
quires no great exertion to conceive the motive that
tempts some men to pilfer our applause, by the pen-
ning of a puff—but that a " Soldier" should delibe-
rately sit down to pillage a brother officer of his right,
and that too in the face of Lord CHATHAM'S dispatch,
is to me a pitch of effrontery beyond the reach of my
comprehension. Permit me, Sir, to quote that part
of his letter which I feel myself bound to refute—let
truth and falsehood be brought face to face :
" Sir—As a good deal of misrepresentation has
been made in several of the Newspapers, relative to
that part of the British Army which took up the po-
sition for the siege of Flushing, on the Ist of August
last, I beg you will be pleased to insert the following
particulars, as a common justice only to those corps
who were alone employed on that occasion. When
that part of the army destined for the siege of Flush-
ing came within two miles of the fort on the Ist of,
August, about one o'clock at noon, the enemy's
Chasseurs and Voltigeurs became very troublesome,
being posted in the woods, ditches, &c. &c."
Let the following facts prove the truth of this :
On the Ist of last August, General HOUSTON'S
Brigade, composed of the 14th, 51st, and 82d Regi-
ments, took possession of Middleburgh at about eight
o'clock in the morning. After a halt of about ten
minutes, the 51st and 82d proceeded to Flushing, a
distance of something more than four English miles.
The brigade had not cleared the gates of the city be.
fore our advance fell in with the enemy, posted on
the main road and adjacent woods. Having made
upwards of 300 prisoners, we found ourselves, by 12
o'clock, within about a mile of Flushing, and pos-
sessed of all the enemy's artillery. The day was
most derisive; they fled in every direction, and
if the affair wanted completion, I am convinced
no regiments in the service were more capable of
effecting it than the 68th and 85th. Nothing that I
may say can add to to their credit, except it be to
rescue them from the advocacy of their " Old Sol-
dier."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
