WINDSOR, Jim SO.—The life continued much
in the same state yestetday.
This morning. Princesses AccusTA and SoPmA
rode on horseback, accompanies! by Count M UNsTER,
Lady CRANLEY, General C.IIITWRIGIIT, Colonel TAY-
LOR, SCC.

The Duke of YORK arrived yesterday, and, after
spcuding the day with the QUEEN, returned to Lon-
don in the evening.
The Archbishop Of CANTERBURY arrived to-day
labout one o'clock.

A Board of General Officers was held yesterday,
at the Commander in Chief's Office, in the Horse
Guards, upon the business of the Military College,
which was attended by the Dukes of KENT and CAN-
'BRIDGE, GellCralS Sir D. DUNI:IAS, Hon:, CALVERT,
WYNYAILD, &C.

The lite General CRAIG, it is said, has bequeathed
to the Earl of HARRINGTON, 480,000 ; to Colonel
STANHOPE, (the Earl of H.'s brother), ae5,000 ; and
to the Duchess of NEWCASTLE £5,000. It is under.
stood, that he has also lett his collection of pictures to
Lord H. The General, in his youth, when first pa.
trcmised by the Harrington family, was a private in
the household troops.

Tarifa, though in itself an inconsiderable place
and thinly inhabited,is, from its relative situation, of
'no small importance. It is seated on an eminence,
near a bay, to which it gives name, in the very centre
of the Straits of Gibraltar. It is defended by a castle
in which the Governor resides, and with old walls and
towers of the Moorish construction. It lies about six
leagues W. S. W. of the celebrated fortress of Gi-
bralt:►r.

Lord MELVILLE arrived in town from Scotland on
Saturday last.
The Anniversary of the Birth-day of the late Right
Htnourable CIIARLES JAMES Fox was celebrated, on

A letter has been received from St. Petersburg h,
dated .linviary F, which states, that the peace had
been actu illy concluded between Russia and the
Porte, tuld that the exchange had risen from 16 to 19.
A second shock of an earthquake was experienced
at Charleston, South Carolina, on the 17th of .11-
cember—it lasted only two minutes. The former
i shock was felt the day before.
OrtA•rontos.—Last night Messrs. ASITLEYS com-
menced their annual performance of Sacred Music, at
Covent-Garden Theatre. On this occasion they gave
a Selection from some of the most eminent composers.
—The principal novelty of the evening was the ap-
pearance of Signor TItAMEZZANI, who assumed the
station formerly filled by Messrs. INCLEDON or BRA-
IIAM. Not being, however, acquainted with the
English language, the Signor indulged the audience
with an Italian Cavniina, composed by Signor MER.
TlNl.—Madame CATALAN! was in fine voice, and
acquitted herself with her usual excellence. Mrs.
BoctioNs, in " Farewell ye limpid springs," dis-
played great taste and execution, and was most de.-
servcdly applauded. The Selection, throughout,
was excellent, and derived great aid from Mrs.BLAND,
I BROADHURST, and 13ELL1sMY. The chorusses were ex-
ceedingly effective and sublime, and the house was
numerously and fashionably attended.
METHODISTS.—At the Quarter Sessions, held at
Spilsby on the 17th inst. the Magistrates refused to
administer the oaths to the Rev. Abraham Crabtree,
Minister in the Methodist connection, appointed by
their annual conference, and respectably recom-
mended as a fit andproper person for the olhce. This
gentleman (in conjunction with two others) is a
Minister statedly preaching and officiating to. very
I.irge congregations at Horncastle, Alford, Langham-
row, and other chapels adjacent. The Magistrates,
it is said, refused the application on the ground of a
decision recently made in the Court of King's Bench.
At the Quarter Sessions held at New Malton last
week, seven persons in the Methodist connection ap-
plied for licences to preach, which the Court refused,
none of them being appointed to preach to a speciac
congregation.
Tuesday night, the Coach from Manchester to
Wigan was upset six riles fr-m Wigan, in conse-
quence of the axletree of the coach giving way.—
Happily none of the inside passengers received any
damage, except a sailor, who had his knee consider.
ably bruised, and his leg split in two, but being made
of wood, he bore his misfortune with proper fortitude.
The outside passengers all escaped unhurt, except a
gentleman, a traveller from Scotland, who had two
ribs broke and his side bruised.

A meeting took place lately, on the beach near
Bray, near Cork, between Captain S. of the Bth Re-
giment of Foct, and Lieutenant Q. of the 55th Regi-
ment, when, after an exchange of fire, the interference
of the seconds prevented any farther proceedings, and
the parties separated.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

7 ORBAY, JANUARY 29.

Yesterday arrived his Majesty's ships AGINCOURT
and LIGHTENING, and this morning early the ELIT et•
BETH man of war, also a three masted schooner ; it
has blown a gale the last 24 hours. A brig was seen
yesterday in great danger, near Salcombe, from
which place a boat went to her assistance, but was
unfortunately lost and all her crew, consisting of biz
people, and I am informed that the vessel is since also
lost; and all her crew perished. A sloop belonging
to this place was boarded on Sunday night, by a
French cutter, of 16 guns, about seven leagues S. W.
of the Berry Head : after taking some fish, they suf-
fered the sloop to pmceed on her voyage.

CADIZ, JANUARY 3.
Yesterday anchored in this port from Callao de
Limas, after a passage of Ilu days, the frigate
Cuncia, with four millions ; she brings the most fa-
vourable accounts of the order and tranquillity of that
kingdom, and of the general enthusiasm of its faith-
ful inhabitants.
The French are again collecting in La Mancha,
nearly 13,000 men, to attack Blake, according to
what they report, in the rear ; but General Freire is
in Albuerte with considerable force. The garrison of
Madrid has been reduced to 2300 men.
A few days ago 200 men deserted from the gar-
rison of Badajoz, and tot k refuge in Juramena. Great
want of provisions is experienced in that fortress, the
garrison of which plincipali) cunsistsof Germans, Iva-
. bars, and Poles.
The Cortes have prolonged the time for the expor-
, tation of cotton for America, from this place, for six
months.
The depredations commilted by the French in Es-
tremadura are inconceivable ; they have completely
devastated that province.
General Lacy is perfectly satisfied with the Cata-
lonians, and they with lam ; the enlistment ctntinues,
and he has already formed an army- of more than
15,000 men ; the enemy is only master of the for-
tresses he occupies : the rest of the country is scoured
by cur troops. General Lacy lately thought of
placing himself between Tarragena and Tortola.
JANUARY s.—lntelligence farm Estremadura in-
forms us, that the enemy intended sending reinforce-
ments from Talavera to Valencia, but the movements
of Lord Wellington had prevented this measure from
being carried into execution ; and thus, cn the left
bank of the Agueda, he was acting in favour of Va-
lencia. Letters of the 29th from Seville, say nothing
relative to Soult ; we may, theeefore, presume he is
very weak.
The partisan Sierre has taken the dispatches sent
by Philippon, Giver-110r of Badajoz, to Saul!-, ;.d-
-vising him of the great scarcity of provisions in that
fortress. The Conde de Trans has . made a move-
ment with his division.

In another column we have given a communication
from our regular Correspondent at Gibraltar, which
contains some interesting details respecting the siege
of Tarifa. We have beard that a letter of the 10th
-inst. from Gibraltar states Valencia to have been safe
on the 3d. `We know not to what degree of credit
this statement is entitled, but we know that SUCIIET'S
army is in great distress for want of provisions—so
much so that he lately sent a notification to the Com-
missaries, that, if they did nit within a given number
, of hours send him a certain soeply, he would shoot
every one of them. The three,. had the effect to bring
him at a very critical moment a supply of bread, but
so ill baked, owing to the haste with which it was
prepared, that much of it was spoiled. In other
quarters the French experience similar distress, owing
to the activity of the Guerillas. Intercepted dis-
patches from Badajos, addressed to SOULT, state that
the Garrison of that place also is in great want of
provisions.
We think it extremely_ probable th at one very
powerful motive ef ti.e French quitting l'arila with so
much precipitation, wes a scarcity of supplies, fur by
'Spanish Gazettes, which have been received to the
14th, it appears that SOULT had ordered Vreina to
;aids 2,000 men ti reinforce his eletachment, which
was to proceed against General Bateesrattos with
the division at the destruction of that enter-
prising Patriot being a matter of ti.e " utrnest solici-
tude" with SOULT. The military road from Seville
to Cordova was also protected by 2,000 reeo, to pre-
vent the itirursicns of Baroosseeees, and f r allis pur-
pose the Barris nn of Seville was reduced to 3,000 in-
fantry and 2CO cavalry.
Letters from Paris to the 24th state that M CoreN,
who held the office of Director-General des Douannes
in France, has been appOintecifelinistcr du Commerce,
and we understand that this nomination is supposed
to be by no means favourable to the mercantile in-
terest. One of the first acts, however, under his au-
thority, does not warrant such a conjectere. In our
publication of Tuesday, the list, we mentioned that
the Hoffman and Vigilance had been seized by spe-
cial order ; we now learn that the cargo of the for-
mer, which was to have been sold under a Decree of
the 24th of December, is restored to the cons:gnees,
but with the condition, that the freight is not to be
paid to the proprietors of the vessel, but to the
French Government.
Wednesday the Marquis of Henney received,
through France, a letter from Captain Maxwete., of
tie 4lceste, dated Lissa, 9th December, acquainting
)rim that the Pomone French frigate had been takellsl
