ST.BARTHOLOAILW.-11101i4ay at the. Stock EXClialtjel

Another day has passed without bringing intelli-
gence from the Armies in the North of Oermany
of course the same uncertainty remains as to the pro-
longation of the Armistice, and the inferences drawn
from the activity of the opposing armies:are mere
matters of opinion. •
That Austria at this moment commands a prepon-
derating influence will hardly be contested, and that
Austria seeks peace for Europe—that is, safety and
iepose for herself, is evident from every part of her
conduct since the absolute destruction of the French
army last winter .in the North. That abundance of
threatenings; insinuations and cajoling must have
been employed by NAPOLEON with his quondam Ally,
since that time, is obiious ; but he has not been able
to make any impression. Present circumstances prove
this fact--and hence the Armistice. Indeed, he can-
not-be free from alarm respecting the mischief with
tvhieh heleay be assailed on the side of Austria.—
We 'think. the breaking up of his camp at Rastadt
may be ascribed to this sense of danger. The troops,
according to report, are to proceed to the frontiers of
Bavaria ; but, from the advance of battering train
and field artillery from Augsburg to Munich and
Nymphenburgh, it is more probable that they are
destined for the Austrian frontier. In short, till
peace is actually settled we may expect NAPpLEGN to
be found guarding against dangers.
nor are the Allies idle. They are preparing for the
possibility of a dreadful conflict, and it is wise they
should do so. It is the best means for ensuring a
sincere Negociation. Looking at home we see the
same anxiety manifest to provide for a rupture of the
Negotiation. Pressing orders have been received at
Wtaalwich tor the immediate dispatch to Stralsund
of a very extensive and varied equipment of Ord-
nance, Arms, and Stores.
As might be expected, equal exertions are making
in every department to send powerful reinforcements
to the Peninsula ; for Ministers are well aware of the
powerful influence which the course of events in that
quarter must have upon . the complexion and pro-
stets Of the Negociations which are now in train.
-I—We have already mentioned that lately Ministers
- had a long conference with the Commander-in Chief,
deliberating on the best means for realising the ob-
ject, which they have so much at heart—the speedy
reinforcing .of Lord WELLINGTON'S brave army. In
alluding to this, we find, however, that we have mis-
stated one (act, and
,we therefore hasten to correct it.
We stated that ALL the reinforcements for his Lord 7
ship were to be landed at Passages:—But the infan-
try only are to be landed there ; and Bilboa has been
determined on as the port at which the cavalry shall
. -
be landed.
We. understand that at the conference alluded to,
the fortification of the strong Western Passes of the
Pyrenees was a subject of considerable deliberation.
..—The determination of this question we cannot
pretend to have the means of knowing ; but we
infer that it has' been resolved on, in the 'event of
present expectations being realised, from the species
of of dnance determined to be sent out to his Lord-
which is of an sugumally large calibre. Pop-
silaiy, too, the consideration of another point had
some influence on this determination ; for we under-
stand that Bayonne is to experience a regular siege.
In estimating the extent of the reinforcement; to
be sent to Lord WELLINGTON, a difficulty occurred
whill we cannot but think Ministers hare the power
of obviating—namely, the means of transport arising
from our extended operations, as Principals and
Allies in North America, the Baltic, the PeniasulA,
and the Mediterranean—added, too, to the irefietar
winch recent circumstances have given to our corn
:tierce, 'particularly in the Baltic vetiy should
Great Britain depend, at such a crisis, rolely upon

merchant shipping for the conveyance of Mena* •
Lord Wistingorors
4fter providing amply for the' kfence of our own
territories and colonies—for the protection of oaf
tride=andfor the blockade of the ports of our erso.
taies—there surely remains a surplus of tonnage in
our navy, which may be made applidahlei in- such
evigepcies as the present, to the transport service,—:
Should, however, dismantling or equipment (which
aro rather tedious operations for the present juncture)
be necessary, before our men of war could be adapte4
to such a service, Government have the means and the
power of providing the requisite transport tonnage,
by impressing merchant vessels for this service. Par-
liarnept, that is the Country, will not only indemnify
both them and the merchants, but. thank them for
their prompt exertions to secure to the Empire the
fruits of •our late dear-bought, but glorious victories.

We mean not to inculcate that, in suck-an exigency,
commercial property should be sacrificed,by impres-
sing vessels loaded already for an outward voyage.
There is no need for this. At the present moment
there are a great number of empty vessels, or others,
which have lately Frived with the home fleets, now
lying in our docks and harbours; which might '
stand), be applied to this service. As to higgling'
about the price of tonnage, leave that for after-discus-
sion. None of the Wpst Indiamen can be wanted for
commercial objects before October next. Does not
such a distance of time allow a sufficient interval for
a voyage to the Peninsula and back again ? As to
sailors for the navigation of the impressed trans-
ports, take them from the men of war. We assert,
that, with proper vigour, Ministers may have a suf-
ficient number of ships ready to receive troops and
to sail in three days from this date. In making this
assertion? we take it for granted, that horses and car-
riages will be impressed for the speedy conveyance of
the troops. We recollect, on a case of emergency,
which Lord CASTLICREAGH cannot have forgot, that
two regiments , were brought to London, embarked
on the Paddington canal, sent to Liverpool, there
re-embarked, and landed in Dublin, with all. their
equipage, is Me courre of oat week
The French cartel la Providence has arrived at
Fowey from Morlaix, with an English Gentleman,

BRITISH ARMY IN SPAIN.

MAJOR CRIE4NONY, 68TH ascimeNT.—Among the
names of those gallant men who have fallen in the
late battles in the Peninsula, that of the brave officer
above mentioned deserves to be particularly recorded.
Educated at Marlow, he early imbibed those notions ;
as a soldier, which so eminently marked his brilliant,'l
bat, alast short career, and which, had it pleased
Providence to spare his life, would have assuredly
rendered him one of the brightest ornaments of the
British Army. As a Captain in the 68th, he dis-
tinguished hirnself in the investment of Flushing; on
which occasion he was wounded under the very walls
of the place.‘ In 'the glorious battle of Vittoria, his
conduct, together with that of his Brother-Major,
was so deserving of notice, as to call forth the fol-
lowing honourable testimony from Lord Dammusrt,
in the Division Orders; wherein, after naming OM.
cers commanding Regiments, he continues-4g To
these names the Lieutenant-General must add, those
of Majors HAWKINS and CRKSPIGNY, of the 68th Re-
giment, whore terional exertions were to conspicuous."—
And on this last glorious occasion, he fell nobly
leading his Regiment to Victory !—Admired—be-
loved—and regretted, by all who knew him.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER WITH LORD

WELLINGTON'S ARMY, DATED HEADQUARTERS,
LEZACA, AVOCET 9, 1813.
" As a King's Messenger leaves us to-morrow for
England, I would not let the opportunity pass with-
out sending you a letter, though since I wrote to yoe
on the 3d, nothing material has occurred. Soma',
we hear, is busy raising fresh troops, in order to at.
tempt a second time the relief of Pamplona. Troops
he may get; but I do not think he will be able to
put that confidence in them which will be necessary
for his success: all their hopes seemed to have been
fixed upon him, and of course their disappointment
has not been small. We are now nearly in the same
position as we were on the 25th ultimo. The siege
of St. Sebastian is to be resumed, it is said, with re-
doubled vigour : it is a very strong place, and will,
lam afraid, cost us dear. As for Pamplona, no-
thing but hunger will subdue it : all the fortified
places which I have seen are nothing to it. Reports
as to the supplies of the garrison are very different,
but, in my humble opinion, they have enough for
three months more. 1 have read. with astonishment
in the Papers, particularly the and the —,
the most absurd and monstrous lies that ever were
printed :—Sometimes Lord WELLINGTON is at Bay-
onne—next, only 17,000 men were left of the army
of. JOSEPH after the defeat at Vittoria—then comes a
story of &WHET and his whole army being destroyed
by the redoubled Sir JOON MURRAY! !—Pray, where
did they get the number of men which the French lost
at Vittoria (20,000 according to one-15,000 ano-
ther)?—l do not, think that the grand total of their
loss, on the 21st of June, exceeded six thousand of most,
saw every prisoner that was made. You will be
surprised to hear, that the Blues and Life Guards
never charged the enemy once, instead of breaking
through their line three times I
o We are very anxious to leave this place. Imagine
to yourself being stuck (in the month of August) in
a very small town, surrounded on all sides by moun-
tains, which of course, besides thy heat, prevent you
from riding or walking out for air and exercise. The
access to our place being so had, of course the pea-
santry are not eery fond of bringing any thing for
sale ; though three leagues off they have fresh sal-
mon, &cl and every luxury in abundance. Yesterday
(by starvation) I was tempted to travel up a young
ryrennee, to dine with a friend, at the risk of my
neck. After an hour's hard work, I got up, and
certainly elvas well paid for my tmuble; Bayonne
appeared most beautifully—the sea opened. to my left
—the v,tlljgc pi France looked 'like gold-3 never
saw so much corn in my life,n.

course for tome time, until, being ready for action,
she took in her royals; and hove to the wind on the
larboard tack. When close enough the brig gave
three cheers and a broadside, Soon afterwards the
Pelican, being also prepared for action, returned the
salute of three cheers and a broadside, with a similar
compliment. The opponents closed, and after a con.
test of 40 minutes, in which the brig was raked five -
times, Captain MAMAS gave directions for boarding
on her starboard bow, and she was instantly carried '
the Americans making no resistance whatever, anci
running below. In the act of boarding the meri-
can ensign was lowered, and after the brig had struck,
Mt. Young, the master's mate, received his death-
wound by a ball from the foretop. The Atus fought
well while the cannonading continued ; but her guns •
were not levelled with precision, and many shots-:
passed through the Pelican's royals. The Argus's
hammocks were cut away fore and aft, and her sides
strew evident tokens of the dexterity of her antago.

but her rigging and sails are injured the most. Two
shots, however, found their way through the boats.
wain and carpenter's cabins. The British, though
justly irritated with Ameiican bravado, were caol and
steady, and their enthusiasm was regulated by the
, most attentive discipline. A spent ball,after passing
through the hammocks, struck one of Captain Ma.
pies' buttons, and fell on the deck. Lieut. Walgh,
and Mr. Granville, 'master, highly distinguished
themselves; but it is perhaps invidious to 'erect any
names where one and all performed their duty. The
Argus carries eighteen 24-pounders and two long
' twelves, fcirmerly belonging to the Macedonian, and'
had 136 men at the commencement of the action, of
whom six were killed and 16 wounded, besides her
Captain. The Pelican mounts 16 32. pounders carro.

113 men ( Mr. Pearne and five men being absent
with a prize), of whom two were killed and three

not leave the deck, until from his fainting away

mouth harbour he was taken to the Role Hospital,
where he died on Thursday night. Hiffate ship has
been exceedingly destructive on the coast of Irelands
17 ships having been destroyed by her, and two seat
for France, which were fortunately recaptured.—
Among others she burnt a linen ship, from Belfasti
part of whose cargo she transferred to her own hold,
and another ship, from which she toot a box of plate
consigned to the gallant Sir THOMAS GRAHAM, and
now on board her ; 600 dollars were taken out of the

Argus immediately after her capture, and ard:nt ea-
pectations are indulged that :lie will be eventually

Saturday list, the remains of Captaits'At.una were
interred at the Old Church, Plymouth, with the most
distinguished honours. The deceased was d?eadfully
wounded in his leg and thigh by one of the raking
fires of the Pelican, which, at the same time, carried
away the leg of a Midshipman, wounded the First
Lieutenant in the head, and killed`teveral of the crews
Captain A. suffered amputation after the Argus at-
'rived at Plymouth, and received the most humane
and polite attentions; but little hopes were enter.
mined of his recovery, from the dangerous state of
his wound. He appeared himself to be aware of his.
dissolution, spoke little, and appeared perfectly re-
bigoted. On Wednesday last he was taken out of the
Argus, and carried to the Hospiul at Mill Prison.
On leaving the Argus, he exclaimed, " GOD bless
you all, my lads—we shall never meet again." His
auditors were so deeply afft.cted, that not a man of
them could articulate " Farewell."—Soon after he
reached the Hospital,-he expired. At twelve o'clock
on Saturday the Funeral Procession moved from the
Mill Prison, affording a scene singularly impressive
to the prisoners, who beheld with admiration the re-
spect paid by a gallant conquering enemy, to their
fallen foe. Five hundred British marines first marched,
in slow time, with arms reversed; the Band of the Ply-
mouth Division of Marines followed, performing the
most solemn tunes. An Officer of Marines, in mils.
tary mourning, came after these. Two interesting
black boys, the servants of the deceased, then preceded
the hearse, one of these bore his master's sword, the
other carried his hat. light American Officers fol.
lowed- the hearse, and the Procession was closed by
a number of British Naval Officers. On the arrival
of the body at the Old Cburch, it was suet by the offi•
ciating Minister : and three vollies being tired over
the grave, the tribute to departed heroism, closed the
scene.—Captain Allen was First Lieutenant of the
United States, in her action with the Macedonian,
and was made Captain for his bravery in that action.
Captain Decatur was much attached to the decrited;
and made him a prestnt of two brass guns from thd
Macedonian, which are now on board the Argus. Ha
was highly esteemed in his profession, and was all
Officer of the most determine d courage.

CAPTAIN STIRLINCI.--ThiS Gentleman, whose sin.:
gular case we stated a few days since, still remains
in the Tower, and by the care which has been taken
of him, has acquired some strength, but he has in no
degree recovered the use of speech. His life is now
considered out of danger ; but had he been carried to
'the watch-house on the night he was found, it is pro.:
bable he must have perished. It is remarkable that
the watermen who landed him at Billingsgate havi
never come forward to give any explanation of their
conduct, lior have they been in say way traced.—
Paper and pen and ink have been placed before the
unfortunate Gentleman, and he has endeavoured to
write, but could only produce some illegible scratches,
among vi hich, hove ever, there seemed to be a:t intenv
tion to represent the.word " Bombay."
