Colonel Govan, of the 87th regiment, is appointed
Governor of Tares.

Colonel MAYNE, of the Lusitanian Legion, has re-'
turned to the Peninsula with the Life Guards.

Tuesday the detachment of the Cheshire Militia,
which had been doing duty on board the prison ships
in Hamoaze, were relieved by a detachment of the
Lancashire.

The Forfar Regiment of Militia marched from
Tynemouth Barracks, on Monday last, for Stockport,
in Cheshire.

The Lisbon Mail of yesterday brought us several
letters from the array. They add but little to the
details in the public dispatches respecting the siege
of Burgos. One from an Officer at head-quarters,
after stating some facts with which we were before
acquainted, adds, “ that, notwithstanding the ob.
stinacy of the defence, the confidence of the army
continued unbounded in their gallant and often-tried
'leader, and that it is the general expectation, that
with his exertions, the place must soon fall. The
army is by no means so sick as might be expected
at this season 'of the year. In the mean time the J
army in front, commanded by CLOISSEUL, which now
exceeds 30,000 men, threaten to advance and make
us raise the siege. The Officer who commands in '
the Castle is a Colonel, and volunteered the defence :
he is the same Officer who foiled the various attempts
of Sir HOME Poenam, and made many Midshipmen
and seamen prisoners at different places. For this
service it is said BONAPARTE Will make him a Gene-
ral, and a Baron of the Empire."
Notwithstanding the bravery, the patience, the
confidence of the besieging army before Burgos, we
are concerned' to state, that the latest accounts from
Lisbon express some apprehension that the Marquis
of WELLINGTON will be induced.to abandon the siege
as a hopeless enterprize, and not to be achieved with-
out a great loss of valuable lives.—Before the Mail
came away it was known, that the Guards and 91st
Highlanders had landed at Corunna, and were on
their way to join the army : together, this fine body
of men will not make more than 2200, which, it
appears by our letters, will barely compensate for the
Ise losses. es If it is seriously intended (says one of
our correspondents) to support the Marquis of WEL-
LINGTON and the cause, why were not 15,000 men
'sent over to him immediately after the glorious%attle
Loaf Salamanca ? An extraordinary exertion at that
time would have produced an economy of both men
and Money. Has the cause that flourished so much
at that time withered and been left to decay for
want of support ?"

It will be recollected that, after the Marquis of
WELLINGTON'E first unsuccessful assault of Burgos, a
hue and cry was g.46sd of tbe,wantir—not of skill—
but of strength in the Engineer Department of his

the first to announce a remedy, in the immediate

equipment of about 150 sappers and miners to join
the army in the Peninsula ; and it has since been as-
serted by some of our contemporaries that this is the
first supply which his Lordship has received of this
species of force. This is a mistake, tor a detach-
ment thereof, to the amount of 1(10 men, embarked
for the Peninsula in the month of March lest.

the day appointed for the reception of new Students.
Upwards of fifty were presented, and, alter the usual
examination, admitted into the College. We under-
stand that all the inconvenience to which this Insti-
tution was subject, while at Marlow, by reason of its
local situation, and the want of suitable acconimo
1 dation, are now completely done away by its removal.
The personal comfort of the young gentlemen, and
their moral discipline, having been the principal ob-
Ljects kept in view in the construction of the new

RETRACT OF A LETTER FROM RANOt DATED
OCTOBER 19.
' Of the convoy that sailed on the 9th, a great
number of vessels are come back, and among them
are the Harmonia, Haut; and the Catherine,
SCHULTZ j—neither of these ships has sustained the
least damage. The convoy sailed with the fairest
prospects ; we have seen dispatches from this rendez.
vows, but it appears, that from the day they left
Kano, they were enveloped in a thick fog, which
Captain HrLert describes as the darkest he ever met
with, and it continued all the time he has been'out
horn this circumstance, the ships of war were in a
manner useless, as it was impossible for the merchant
Wessels to keep with them. The convoy sailed on
Friday, and on Sunday had reached the entrance of
the Belt, when a heavy gale came on, and several
vessels were lost on the Watch coast, it is la yet
accurately known how many, but Captain HILCIF
says be saw twelve on shore. We know of one ship
being taken by the Danes, and we fear when the
correct returns are received, a great number will be
found captured or stranded. Admiral Monais has
struck his flag on board the \rum,. and .proceeded
yesterday over land to Gottenburgh. In consequence
of this arrangement, the Vito remains bere some
time longer, but nothing farther has transpired about
convoy or sailing instructions. The convoy of the
19th ult. from Gottenburgh, arrived oft this place oa
the 17th instant. Rip as yet safe."

FlRES.—About eleven o'clock last night, a meat
alarming fire broke out from a back parlour of Mt.
`Barker,
dealer in marine-stores, near Barrett's-court,
Henrietta-street, Oxford-street. The house was soon
gutted, and two other houses were very much dama-
ged. The Guards of:Portland Barracks immediately
attended, and with the Volunteers prevented any
rqbbery. The arrival of the engines, and a plentiful
snpply of water, prevented further mischief. The
fire was got under by 12 o'clock.
Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in the pre-,
mists of Mr. Stevens, hosier, in St. James's-street,'

destruction. •

,of last week, when the dreadful storm happened,
whilst they were in bed in an upper apartment, the
chimney was blown down, and through the ceiling
upon the bed in which they lay. In consequence.of

evening they remained in excruciating pain, and then
died within a short period of each other:—Verdict,

days at Murrisk, in the county of Mayo:—Two
female children, one 9, the other 11 years old, were, in
.the absence of their parents, locked up together in a
;rabic' in which were both fire and tow. How they cnin-
imnicated is not known, but the melancholy conse-,
quence was, that they were both literally burnt to sin-
der;. The house was not consumed, and upon opening
it the remains (which consisted merely of the bones)
of the eldest, as was supposed from their size, were
,fouaci it the door, to
.which it is concluded that she
.repaired,in her horrible situation, with the vain hope
of effecting Ina! escape. The bones of the other poor
victim lay on the middle of the fluor.

:Duet.—On Tuesday, the ?.oth October,
there was buried at Leek, M. Le. COVDRE, a French:
.114 val officer, who was on ran* at that place, The
circumstances which led to the death of this young
man are truly uncommt.n. About ten days previous
to his decease, he was out beyond the hour when pri-
soners °ot to return to their lodgings, and on this
account the boys collected about andpelted hint with
stones HiS behaviour on this occasion made one of
his hrether officers observe, “ that he was soft—that
lie would faint at the sight of his own blood." Ls
POUDRE gave him the lie, the other struck him, and
the consequence was a challenge. Each party had'
his second; but as tl2e7 could only procure one pis-
tol, they cast lots who Mould have the first fire: It
fell on I.ECOUSRE. Tan yards was the distance mei%

and, helping him op, and supporting hini, he, in this
shocking situation (the blood streaming from his
wounds), took his fire, and his ball went ihrough La
