EXTRACT OF A LETTER LATELY MEWED FROM AN OP-

DICER OF THE MADURA ttiatob, DAT= FROM 71')IWAS
UPON THE FRENCH PRONTIER.
" I am just returned from an expedition into
France. The regiment of Leon, arid the legion of .
Estramadura, were ordered to make a recohnciisince
of the- French force in this quarter. We crossed the.
Pyrenees in the middle of the nigtft, over mountains
`and rocks, the most stupendous :tied awful.
gg At six in the morning we descended into tlse
plain, the inhabitants flying befoie us, and passed to
the right of St. Juan Pie de Port, and arrieed at
some villages near St. Miguel. The French' sliewed
no troops ; but after we had collected about 3000
head of cattle and sheep, with a number of horses,
mules, asses, goatt, &c. the peasatOry, who areall
armed, collected in considerable force, and made #n
attack upon us. We succeeded in securing the whdle
of our forced requisition, without having a singre
man killed et wounded, and besides partaking of sontk
fare which we had been long unaccustomed to, every
one of our soldiers contrived to carry off something
•
portable.
gg Pampltna still holds out. General Mina Espert.,
with his division, arrives to-thorrow from Arragow,
to relieve us from our duty here. Meantime, You
may safely say, that our division (General Mitrilko's)
draw their rations from France."

WARWICK,. OC7VBER 14.
A circumstance very
.unusual in this neighbour.
hood, occurred last night, about eight o'clock. Two
men, with masks on their faces, and covered with
smock frocks, stopped a Gentleman on the road lead-
ing from this town to Stratford, and robbed hitt et
8140. Four men were instantly sent out in pursuit
of the robbers and were out all night, and many have
started in pursuit this morning, so that we have some
hopes, from the general hue and cry, that the robbers
will not escape. The Gentleman robbed received nu
wound, but had his clothes torn in the scat.

Tuesday evening a serious affray took place at it
public.house in Pembroke-street, Plymouth.Dotk, be-
t ween a patty of Militia and some sailors. The
cause of the dispute has not yet been torrectly ascer--
tained, but, we understand; some of the 'seamen
were very severely wounded. The town was' in at
complete slate of uproar, and it was with the utmost
difficulty the soldiers were driven to their barracks;
which was effected by the perseieringexeftions of the,
nmaglian and the Lancashire Militia.
We!nesday a Court of Ditectors was held at the'
East-India House, ashen Captain Ruin was sworn
nit° the command of the Royal Charlotte, destined
to Batavia and China ; as was Captain HALIBURTON
into the.Glatton, consigned to Sc. Helena and China.
Wedneday a ballot was taken at the East.lnclia.t
House, for the determination of the following gum.
tion: That Mr. Pam' CASIPBELL• late Master of
the extra ship Lord Keith, be restored to the Corn.
pany's service." At six o'clock theglasses were closed
and delivered to• the scrutineers, who reported the
same to have been carried in the affirmative.

Saturday a Court-Martial was held on board the
OLaninvorr, in Portsmouth Harbour, the Right Hon.
Lord AirgLius BEaucLing, President, to try Mr.
Thome Riley, Midshipman, of his Majesty's ship
GRAMPUS, for disobedience of orders and for being
drunk, on the 2d of October, when on duty in the
Dock-yard. The COrrt were of opinion, that the
charges were proved, and did adjudge him to serve
before the mast on board such ship as the Comman.%
der in Chief may direct, and rendered unworthy of
serving as an officer in Ins Majesty's Navy.
At Nottingham County Sessions last weeki WS=
Pearson and John Stsrl were convicted of felony, in
stealing wheat in the ear, from shocks standing in the
field, and sentenced to 14 days imprisonment, in the
county gaol. The Chairman (W. Sesitottoot, E4q.j
told them the Court would not have been so lenient
but for their youth, and having been already five
weeks in prison.

Henry Plaistow, miller, at Riskmansworth, a quan-
tity of flour, without a bill of parcels, or any price
}Fixed. The baker stated, that no price having-Ween

ing four silver table-spoons from the Swan Inn at Rei-
gate, on the 6th inst. On the llth inst. the prisoner
offered the bowl of a silver table-spoon for sale to Mr.
Purse, a silversmith in the Strand, when, from the
appearance, the account he gave of having possession
of the article, and Reigate being engraved on the
back of the bowl, Mr. Purse detained him, and brought
biro to the Office, when he was committed for farther
examination.—lt has since been ascertained, that the

trate in Bow-street; GEORCK Hicits, Esq. supplies
Mr. Conaarr's place in Marlborough-street ; and the
new Magistrate, L. Rooarts, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn,
succeeds Mr. HICKS at the Whitechapel Office.

It is supposed there were the greatest assemblage
eif thieves, at the fight at Comb Wood, on Wednes-
day, that ever were collected upon a similar occasion:
there were at least forty in a gang, armed with
bludgeons, who committed robberies is the most
daring manner possible t 6 be conceived. If any per-
son avoided being robbed, by taking care of his
pockets, they immediately knocked him down with
their bludgeons. Those who knew them to be thieves,
and avoided them, called out to them 4, For shame!"
But it had no effect on their daring conduct. CRIBB
turned one of them out of the ring. Few country-
suit escaped having their pockets turned out.
