ante was truly pitiable. Several were brought on
shore dead ; and some have died in the streets within
last three days, on their way to the hospitals. It
but paying a proper tribute to the disinterested

umanity of the inhabitants of this town and Ply-
mouth, to state that all ranks have been unceasingly
occupied since Saturday last, in rendering every as-
stance in their power to the wretched sufferers—
both officers and privates being alike destitute of
shoes, shirts, and clothing of every description.
" It is impossible for me to pourtray the confusion
and distress which has predominated here the whole
,f the week—women searching through the fleet for
their husbands and relatives—officers and men look-

ing after their wives, children, and comrades, afford
but a too-striking proof of the confusion and terror ac-
.ompanying the embarkation ; nor can our loss be in
any degree ascertained, or the hopes and forebodings
of thousands at all alleviated, till a general muster
takes place, and correct returns of the respective corps
are given in ; then, and then only, shall we be able
to ascertain our loss with some degree of accuracy.
I have however learnt, from several intelligent offi-
cers, who were present in the last engagement, that
our loss in killed, wounded, prisoners, and those who
expired by fatigue, and the want of proper food, does
not fall short of nine or ten thousand men.
,g The detail of individual and collective instances
of distress and suffering, which have already reached
me, would actually fill a volume ; but the recital
would only serve to afflict your Readers,

landed this day.
" BONAPARTE, it seems, at the head of a strong di-
vision, filed off about four leagues from Corunna, and
directed his march towards the frontiers of Portugal,
where it is much feared he will fall in with General
M4KENZIE'S brigade, consisting of 7000 men, who were
known to be on their march to jdln Sir JOHN MOORE.
" It appears that upwards of 10,000 of our army
were engaged with the enemy OR the Ifith, and had
the whole of the army been on shore, and supported
by the cavalry and artillery, there is no doubt but
they would have obtained a still more decisive victory.
" Colonel WINCH, of the 4th, who is severely woun-
ded across the breast, is now here, and, I am happy
to say, doing well.
" Several of the transports are ilread'under weigh
for the Eastward."

Major RAINEY, of the 82d regiment, arrived last
night from Lisbon : he left the Tagus January the
16th ; went into Vigo, which he left January 18th,
and was off Corunna January the 19th. At Vigo
he saw General CRAWFURD, who, with the following
corps under his command, were safely embarked,
and intended to sail the following day, viz. The
second battalion 52d, first ditto 43d, secondditto
95th, and two regiments of the German Legion.

Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the LORD
CHAMBERLAIN loft town for Windsor, to take their
MAJESTIES' commands for repairing St. James's

Palace.
A stack of chimnies belonging to the QUEEN'S pri-
vate apartments, fell yesterday. Several other stacks
and walls of the Palace are considered- in a very dan-
gerous and tottering state by Mr. GROVE, the Sur-
veyor. As soon as the roof of the Levee Room is re-
paired, the furniture, which is now in the Grand
Council Chamber, is to be removed into it, and which
will prevent any long interruption to her Majesty's
Drawing Rooms. We understand it is her Majesty's
intention of holding a Drawing Doom on the 16th of
February, and to dress in the Duke of CUMBERLAND'S
apartments.
Yesterday the Duke of CAMBRIDGE visited Lady
CHARLOTTE Fixcir. We are sorry to say her Lady-
ship was considered worse yesterday.
TI:,! Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, in their
Court dresses, attended by the City Remembrancer,
were in the lobby of the House of Commons pester -
day evening waiting to present some petitions from
the City, but were obliged to ge away, the House not
sitting.
The St. Alban's Election finally closed on Wed-
nesday, at three o'clock, Mr. WILLIAms declining to
continue the contest : the numbers were—Mr. GILES
Io—Mr. WILLI/km s 55.

Yesterday, at noon, a fine tree was torn up by the
wind nearly opposite the guard-house, by the Queen's
Palace, in St. James's Park.
Mr. W.tais, baker, at Battle Bridge, had 50 sacks
of flour spoiled by the flood which inundated his cellar
and ground floors.
HAY MARKET THEATER.—The Pantomime of Pe-
rouse was last night revived and brought forward with
much skill and attention. It was received with con-
siderable applause. The hero of the piece was ad-
mirably represented by BoLocs.‘, jun.
A Gentleman, who lately underwent a severe cross-
' examination in one of the Courts of Law, being asked
by a friend how he felt upon the occasion ? replied—
,. Like a man in aft of the ague ; sometimes I was
shivering, and sometimes burning hot."
The sentence of the General Court-Martial at
Edinburgh Castle upon Surgeon TAYLOR, of the 2d
battalion 25th regiment, was on Monday read at the
parade in the Castle by the Fort Major, That the said
Surgeon TAYLOR shall be publicly and severely repri-
manded, and suspended from rank and pay for six
months-"
In mentioning the loss of the PRIMROsE, we for-
bore to state the names of some valuable officers re-
ported to have been on board, hoping the fact might
prove otherwise; but it has been confirmed to us.—
These were Lieutenant-Colonel TUCKER and his bro-
ther: the former was an excellent officer, having served
under Sir SAMUEL AucHMuTY, in Egypt ; under
Sir DAVID Barn)), at the Cape of Good Hope ; and
as Adjutant General to the Army, under Sir AR-
' TRUK NVELLESLEy, in Portugal. The younger breaker
was also an oilier of great promise.

THE ARMY.

Mr. KNIGHT, the Inspector-General of Hospitals,
set off this morning for Portsmouth to aid, by his su-
perior skill and judgment, the efforts of the Medical
Officers in relieving our brave wounded Officus and
soldiers landed from Spain.
The troops from Corunna already arrived, or hourly
expected in the Downs, arellittbe distributed in the
Kent District, as under :
The Brigade of Guards, (Ist and 3d Bat-i Chatham.
talons Ist Regiment))
18th Light Dragoons
6th Infantry, lit Baru/ion
9th Ditto, lit Ditto
36th Ditto, Ist Ditto
2Sth Ditto, Ist Ditto
42d Ditto, Ist Ditto
50th Ditto, Ist Ditto
52d Ditto, Ist and 24 Battalions .
71st Ditto, Ist Ditt•
91st Ditto, Ist Ditto
95th Ditto Ist and td Battalions . . Hythe.
The transports with two brigades of artillery under
Captains TRUSCOTT and BEAN, are also ordered to
the Downs, to be stationed in Canterbury.
Almost the whole of the transports from Corunna
have now arrived ; and the survivors of the brave
army are at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
The whole of this army, about 19,000 men, is to be
landed at these three places, with the exception of the
Cavalry, who, with the Foot Guards, will be brought
up in the transports to the Downs and to the River.
The Army in general will rejoice to hear that Sir
DAVID BAIRD is not only alive, but hopes are enter-
tained of his doing well. He has come home in the
VILLE DE PARIS, and it is hoped that he will be able
to be landed to morrow. He is in good spirits, and
has not suffered from amputation so much as might
have been expected. The arm is taken completely
off, out of the shoulder socket.
About 300 sick and wounded have been landed at
Plymouth, and about 1200 at Portsmouth. That
noble building, the Royal Naval Hospital at Ports-
mouth, and which has the best conveniences for 2200
men, has bean openeL for the reception of the gallant
fellows who have been landed. For some years past,
and since the Channel fleet has not come to Spithead,
the Royal Hospital has been nearly shut up, there
being but few sick and wounded sailors in it. In
this noble building the sick and wounded officers are
received as well as the soldiers, the officers having
separate apartments.
There have arrived at Portsmouth :
The Honourable Lieutenant-General Hors.
Sir DAVID BAIRD*
The Honourable Major-General PAGET*
Major-General MA NIN GU A M.

Mr. KENNEDY, Commissary-General.
Mr. GRIEVE, Deputy ditto.
Yesterday General DovtE arrived in town, and
waited upon the Duke of YORK. The General lost
all his baggage in the retreat of the army.
The following arrangements, we understand, have
been determined in consequence of the vacancy occa-
sioned by the lamented death of Sir JOHN MooltE iLI
the .52d regiment
General OAKES, from the 3d West India Regiment, to be Co-
lonel of the 52d, vice Mooaz ;
General SHIREROOKE, from the Sicilian Regiment, to the 3d
West India Regiment, viceo can ; and
Major-General R. C. FERGUSON, from half-pay of the 93d, to
the Sicilian Regiment, vice SOIRBROORK.
Ths eldest son of Sir HARRY BURRARD, and Aid-
de-Camp to Sir JOHN MOORE, was severely wounded
in the last engagement, and was put on board the Au-
dacious, in which ship he died on the '2lst.
General BLAKE'S family are amongst the recent ar-
rivals from Coruna ; but the General is not with
them.
Colonel MAXWELL, of the 26th regiment, has lost an
arm ; but is in a fair way of recovery.

Government has given orders for the building of
sixty small ships of war, for a specific object ; thirty
of which are to be built at the out-ports, and the rest
at the dock-yards at Deptford, and in the vicinity of
London.
Fifteen horse ships are fitting at Deptford, but
owing to the Thames being blocked up with ice, no
communication has been held between them and the
shore for eight days, until yesterday..
Letters of the 25th of November have been re-
ceived from St. Domingo, by which it appears, that
some vessels belonging to CIIRISTOPIIE had succeeded
in throwing succours into St. Marc. The forces of
Pr.TIUN had, hi consequence, raised the siege. It is
said that PrrtoN had proposed to unite himself with
the Spaniards ; but their answer had not arrived.
CORN MARKET, MARK-LANE, JAN. 27.—There are
tolerable supplies of Wheat to-day, sales thereof are
nearly at last prices. Fine Barley is in demand, but
seconds and ordinary qualities are cheaper. Malt and
White Peas at less. In Beans of both sorts but little
variation. New Ticks 50s. to 555. per quarter • scarce
any old. There are many fresh arrivals of Oats, and
this article is again quoted cheaper. Flour at last
prices.

No accounts have yet been received of the division b 4
:f the British army which retreated upon Vigo, un- si
der the command of Generals ALTOTT and CRAUFL:RD.
The last accounts we had of General ROMANA were at
t',at he had crossed the British army, on its retreat, of
stint the remains of his gallant corps, and that he was ti
giving his march towards Orensee. Some persons it
arc of opinion that he would join the English under b
General CRAVELHD, and that they would both toge-
I:ler be able to effect their retreat to Vigo, where we a
know, from Admiral DE Councv's dispatch, the AL- 0
)no, ll:snosr.tN, and some transports were left to tl
receive them. a
Some anxiety is entertained relative to the corps, t,
consisting of near 7000 men, which marched, 'some
weeks ago, from Lisbon, under General MACKENZIE' c
with intent to join Sir JOHN MOORE. Of their progress c
little is known ; but we understand that they have c
aen recalled, and were on their return, by the last I
accounts, to Lisbon. LASALLE and MILHAVDI with
their force, had reached Truxillo, as appears by the
Bulletins of BONAPARTE,' and their advanced parties 3
cavalry had even been pushed forward to Merida
.-it is only about 4.5 miles from the latter mentioned
city to Badajos, from whence the distance to Lisbon
does not exceed 140. Government yesterday received
di,patehes from Lisbon to the 16th. No French ,
troops had made their appearance in that quarter up
to that date.
Last night we received Seville Government Gazette: '
to the 12th inst. from which we have given evert
thing worthy of notice. According to these, several
advantages have been gained by the Spaniards over
the French ; but, even if we could give credit to all
the accounts published by the Spaniards, they do not
appear to have been of much importance.
The refusal of the British Government to enter
into any negotiation for peace, to which Spain might
not be a party, has, as might be expected, given great
satisfaction to the Patriots ; and, in consequence,
Don pEnno Cevattos has been appointed Ambassa-
dor Extraordinary to this country.
The reverses experienced by the Patriots in the
Vorth of Spain, will not have the effect to make this
country relax in its efforts to enable the Spaniards to
repel the invader. By the Speech from the Throne
we were informed, that a Treaty has been con-
cluded with the Spanish Government, and there can
he little doubt that it will be faithfully maintained by
this country; but, from recent events, it may be
concluded, that our Government will never again
agree to allow a British army to advance into the heart
of the country, on the delusive hopes and promises
that they will there be joined by armies of Patriots.
—Our humble opinion remains unaltered—We ought
to assist the Patriots, by furnishing them every requi-
site for the war in which they are engaged ; but net
a single soldier should be furnished. We believe,
however, that it is intended still to have a military
force employed there, but in a different manner. They
will be accompanied by proper vessels, and trans.
ported from one part of the coast to another, as cir-
.
(=stances may dictate. Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Mi-
.
Lorca, are to be the rendezvous of the armament.
The following accounts were received this morning
" EXETER, JANUARY 25.
• " This morning an officer arrived here, who left
C:etana one of the latest that have returned to thil
veintry. He states, that Sir JOHN MOORE was buriec
'Kith General ANSTRUTHER, (agreeably to their re
quest) at half-past nine on Tuesday morning, in th,
ccrar of one of the half bastions in the Citadel; tha
the French did not possess Corunna on Tuesday, bu
On Wednesday morning the Governor fired a few she
ca tile French, he supposes for mere form sake, an
then delivered the place up by capitulation.—He like
wise says the return of the British killed, on the 16t1
is rot yet made out, but the amount will be foun
to be more than 700, but less than 1000 ; and sinc
the first landing of the English in Portugal, to ti
evacuation of Corunna, the losses may be estimate
a at about 7000. The gallantry of the British was h
3
void all description; the 71st regiment in the attic
cried out " no ball" " no ball left," and attacked wit
bayonet, which the enemy could not stand ; it w:
afterwards found they had 40 rounds each,
" Yesterday morning early Generals BERT:SEOR
a
FRASER' and FAKE, passed through this city fro
Plymouth, and during the day a great number
Officers arrived here from Spain, on their way eas
ward, but not being able to procure horses, they d

not proceed till this morning."

in " A telegraphic order was received this day f
the transports, with the troops on board, to proce
id round to Spithead, where I understand near 200
have already arrived, and which is to be the genet
rendezvous of the whole.
