THE Author finding himself incapable of detailing
the events of so interesting and important a period, within
the limit which he originally prescribed to himself ; and the Pub-
lishers having been honoured with intimations from many of Mr.
Pitt's most distinguished friends, that a more elegant Edition than
that hitherto announced, would be highly acceptable ; the Public
is respectfully informed, that the Work will be brought forward
early in the month of May next, in the three following forms, viz.
1. One hundred copies, splendidly printed in three Volumes
Imperial Quarto; which will be faithfully appropriated according
to the dates of orders received.
. A limited Number, in three elegant Quarto Volumes, on
Royal Paper.
3. Handsomely printed in Six Volumes, Octavo.
Each of these Editions will be illustrated with two finely-en.
graved Portraits of Mr. Pitt ; one from the bust executed by
Mr. Flaxman ; the other from the most approved original Pic-
ture; and of these, one hundred Proofs will be taken off for the
superior copies, and the next impressions for the Royal Paper
Edition.

Letters from Cadiz to the 16th instant, have been
received. They state, that information of the retreat
of the British upon Corunna, and their subsequent
embarkation, had reached Cadiz. It is added, that
the ardour of the inhabitants of the South of Spain
had not been damped in the least. Considerable
reinforcements had marched from Andalusia, for
the armies under the command of the Duke de l' IN-
FANTADO, and Marquis PALACIOS. The latest intel-

ligence from the latter was of the l'.2th, when his
head quarters continued at Carolina, where they had
been established since the beginning of the month.—
It does not appear that any attempt was made to pe•
netrate to Madrid during the absence of BONAPARTE.

The Spanish army which blockaded Barcelona, has
fallen back to the frontiers of Valencia.

A ship of war was waiting at Cadiz for Don PEDRO
CEVALLOS, appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to this country. He is ex-
pected to be the bearer of the ratification of the Treaty
mentioned in the Speech at the opening of the Ses-
sion. Part of the Garrison of Gibraltar had arrived
at Cadiz.

A letter from Don T. MORLA to the Junta has
been published by order of the latter, in the Seville
Gazette. This production is a proof of the false-
hood and duplicity of the writer. It is written for
the purpose of persuading men, who arc excepted
from BONAPARTE'S Act of Amnesty—who have, in
fact, a price put upon their heads—that resistance
is fruitless. It states that he has seen JOSE2'II BONA-
PARTE ; that he was an amiable man in every re-
spect, and very fit to be their King ; and he recom-
mends it to them not to trust their parts and strong
places to the English. The Junta, in publishing this
letter, have expressed their deepest indignation at the
conduct of the traitor.

By the WEAZEL sloop of war arrived from the Me-
diterranean, dispatches have been received from Sir
A. BALL, dated 15th December, at Malta; from Lord
ComANowoon, off Toulon ; from the Commander
at Gibraltar, dated the 14a11 instant ; and. from Mr.
FRERE, forwarded to Cadiz, which place she left on
the 15th instant.

" Copy of a letter from Cartain ST ACKPOOLX, of his Alajesty's
ship Pilo ESE, to the Hon, \V. W. POLE, dated

4‘ Gibraltar Bay, Dec. 31, 1808.

at The missing ships of the convoy amount to thirteen, five hav-
ing arrived since the 25th, viz. the Naiad, bound for Malaga; the
Juno, Barbara, and Minerva, for Malta; and the Lion, for Gi-
braltar. But l have good reason to suppose that many of them
have rassed by and gone up the Mediterranean, as the Pratique
Master has ii.formed me that a number of vessels had a slay or
two before my arrival run directly tip,"
