GISRA.LTAR, JANUARY 28.

All the artillery belonging to the Garrison, w;
SOO infantry, have been employed these three da)
in the Spanish lints in shipping off all the guns aild
warlike stores in the different forts and batteries, fir
the purpose of sending them to Taragona and Vz.
lentia, where they are much wanted, and for which
transports are now fitting GM here and we undt.t.
stand, that all the ordnance and stores at Algeziras,
and round the neighbouring coast, are in like manner
to be shipped off, where they may be more activeiT
employed.
This measure has diffused the most universal sa.
tisfaction throughout the Garrison, and is a strong
proof of the liberal and enlightened policy of the
Spanish Government towards us, as they seem anxious
to remove every means by which the place could be
annoyed in future, in case any reverse of fortune should
take place in Spain, which might enable the enemy
to penetrate to this neighbourhood.
The utmost enthusiasm still prevails along th.
whole of the provinces on the toast of the Me('
terninean, where every man capable of working (.7
fighting is daily employed in the common cause ; and
it furnished with arms, of which they are still much is
want, it would hardly be possible to subdue them."

Pt eatoorn-Doca, Fes. 14.—This day at noon we had ano-
ther violent storm of t.tunder, accompanied by a heavy 141 of
rain and hail. The lightning struck the house of a baker at New
Navy Row, near this town, which was materially injured, ta'e-
ther with the two adjoining ones, on cacti side. It enti.red the
centre house through the roof, the slates of 'which were knocked
off several feet in circumference ; it penetrated in a straight direc-
tion to the bakehouse, where it branched off, right and left, into
the adjoining houses, where, after doing considerable mischief,
its fury was spent. The walls of the centre house are much da-
maged, and all the windows in the three tenements were com-
pletely demolished. A MD and two boys, who were in the bake.
house, were struck down, and serionsly injured by the electric
matter; the man has since recovered, and hopes are entettaired
that the boys will also.—lt still blows a hurricane (five P. M.)

OLD BAstair;.—Yesterday these Sessions commenced, when
Michael Connor Jame; Xelly, and Join Carr, were indicted for
robbing Mr. Samuda, on the highway, of his watch and money.—
It appeared that about sit o'clock on the evening of the 6th in.:.
the prosecute* was delving hie chain', accompanied by Mr. Swa-
bey, when he was stopped by three footpads, who demanded their
money, (bagged them Both out of the chaise, and robbed them.--
The prosecutor could not swear positively to the identity of the
prisoners, but to the best of his knowledge they were she robber,.
After he had been robbed he gave enformatien to the patrole en
the road, and the prisoners were secured. Frost, oae of the pa-
trole, corroborated this testimony. The • Jury retired for half an
hour, and acquitted Carr, who proved an and found the other
two Guilty.
The prisoners were tried on another indictment for robbing a
Mr. Hawes, at the end of the lane leading to Chalk Farm. 11. e
prosecutor stated, that he was stopped by three footpads, on the
evening of the Bth instant, who, after having robbed him of his
watch, &c. desired him to go into the other road leading to Lot:-
don, and apprised him that he would probably meet another
gang, and if so, on his telling them he had been served, they wow I
let him pass free. The robbers were armed with pistols, which
they presented, but the prosecutor could not swear positively io
the identity of the prisoners who had been apprehended by fro:,
and, there being no other evidence ,they were acquitted.
The prisoners were arraigned and acquitted on a third indi,::-
ment.
SINGULAR Earrorriox.—...The avidity. for political Intelligence
in these momentous times, appears not to be confined to the Nit,-
tropolis. A Newspaper is printed at Taunton, in Somersetshia
(a distance of 150 miles) called, " The TauntonConrier and ;freshen
Advertiser." This Paper is printed-every Wedoesday at Noon.
includes the London news of Tuesday night, and the Tuesday
night's Casette, which is obtained by Express from Lontion
in
sixteen hours! The Paper, when printed,
is oleo actually sent
into xeter, throughout the whole of the North of Devon, and
Into almost every other part of the West of England, by the most
rapid Couriers; by which means the Intelligence brought by the
Mail is thus anticipated in almost every place, by several hour-.
The novelty of this Expedition (which by the must be attended
with an enormous expettce) has created a prodigious demand for
the Pape. . •
" Carry in your mind, Tont." cries a sagacious sit often to bit
son, " that you lay an early foundation for obtaining objects of
great interest." To rortune'a suitors it may now as justly be
said—" Carry in your minds; that in the present superior Lot'
tery there were ?taro but 18,500 Tickets for sale—that several
thousands are already dispoted of—that every day more and
more lessens the number—and that unless you are alert in making
your purchases, you may soon be unable to obtain even the Share
of a 1 icket.
