A Spanish ship, called the Alexandra, arrived yes-
terday with wines, from Bourdeaux. A Spanish Co-
lonel and some other persons of rank and considera-
tion are passengers in this vessel. None of the crew
had arrived at a late hour last night, fer want et the
necessary passports ; but we have learnt throitgh
private channel some interesting particulars. The
master of the ship had been detained a prisoner in
France during many month:, and was liberated in
order to convey these wines for Spain, we beli
the royal cellars at Madrid. Having re. n ved his
orders and papers, he set sail ; but he had no sorr.tir
cleared the mouth of the Garonne, than he shined
his course to the north, and, in revenge for the injus-
tice done to himself and his unhappy country by the
French, he has brought his cargo to England. We
have learnt, by the same opportunity, some facts re=
specting several Spaniards of distinction, who for a
long time have not been heard of. The Dukes of
GRENADA and VILLA HERMOSA, and the brother of
the latter, were prisoners at Bourdeaux. The former
was sent under a guard to France, for refusing to
take the oath of allegiance to JosErn : the two latter
were volunteers in the army of PALAI•OX, arid were
made prisoners at Saragossa. The Duke of VILLA
HERMOSA h not more than 18 or 20 years of age.—
The Spaniards who were seat from Saragossa to
France, after the surrender of that city, were many of
them wounded, and incapable of proceeding so ra-
pidly as the troops attending them required ; but this
was not allowed to impede the progress of the escort ;
and 800 of these unhappy victims, incurable of sus-
taining
the fatigue of the march, were shot on the
road to Bayonne. At this latter place, we un4erstand. '
every sort of indignity has been offered to the uninr-
tunate captives \silo have passed through it; at Bour-
deaux.it is otherwise—every humane attention is paid
to them, and the ruined inhabitants of this once splen-1
did and flourishing city entertain a rooted disappro-
bation of the war against Spain.—This vessel kas.
brought the same report that was stated in the Portu-1
guesc Papers—that General BLAKE, having been{
considetably reinforced subsequent to the battle on:
the 10th of June, had obtained possession of Sara-I

Friday right, between ten and eleven, a most
tremendous storm of thunder and lightning was exile-
fenced at Deal, which d'amaged the swift of the
wind-mill near Deal Castle, knocked down a stack
of chimnies in the Naval hospital, passed throng)
several Wards and out of the south-west corner, de
stroying two window• frames, and breaking all thi
glass, melting through iron bedsteads, .taking a boar(
out of the floor, but providentially did not hurt an
person; although the splinters from the window frame
fell upon the bed of a patient who was carried in thee
the morning before for a fractured skull, the shock c
which occasioned the wound to bleed afresh.
