Hospital, to state our °Onion of the comparative ad:
vantages of the plan for converting certain buildings
(late in the possession of Lord Yarborough) to the
purpose of an infirmary, with another for erecting an
entire new building on some other part of the Found;
we have twice examined with much attention the
lands and premises in question, and now proceed to
submit our thoughts on the proposals referred to us.
The present state of the buildings seems generally
substantial, though in.. some places partially dilapi-
dated. There is great capability in the house and
offices, for the accommodation in view, even to the
extent of 80 or 100 patients. The ground is no doubt
damp, aid the land-springs lie iso high as to make
it necessary for the whole to be completely drained.
The brushwood should be cleared, and many of the
trees cut down, to give a free circulation of air, so
ablolutejynecessary..to an infirmary; and a sheltered
colonnade should be added to the house, for the air
and exercise of the invalids.
With regal d to erecting an entire new building, it
does not appear to Ns that such will be at all neces-
sary ; even if it should be thought of, it ought to be
erected where the house now is (or near to it.) as be-
ing the driest part of the soil, and at the greatest dis;
tance from the false and swampy ground near the
river, the approach to which for many months in the.
year would be very improper for the convalescents of
the infirmary.—We have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,

A very strange rumour was in circulatiln yester-
eaT, to which we are not disposed to give the least
-credence, that Marquis WELLESLEY had received in-
-I.ructans from Ministers to leave Seville, and to pro-
seed by Vacltid, Bayonne, and Bourdeaux to Paris ;
t;) terminate a negotiation already commenced for
12z l'•!•ctabliihment of peace between France and this
coontr. S:ocks rose yesterday, and the advance
wa3a;:ribieti:l to this cause ; but we understand that
:11 enterinisiaj adventurer entered the market, and
i7cli.ised to the extent of a quarter of a million,
will sufficiently account ior the variation, with-
ascrih:;l3 it to any such ii:iprobble circumstance.

Lrr,: CooTr, had issued an order pfnhibiting the im-

‘).lt the pet anent of the accustomed duties. We do
",t comprehend what duties arc here referred to. If
tiey be such ac were imposed prior to the capture of
island by the English, they were not at all suited
general tali"' adopted in this country, propor-
toned M the vaha, not to the quantity, in articles of
the sarrv, kind, very materially differing in price.—

SPAIN AND POfTtI4AL•

Captain PErcvzof the 16th Dragoons, arrived last,
night at the Dritish Hotel, Jermyn-street, He was
the bearer of dispatches from Lisbon ; but we do not
understand that they are of any material importance.
Various journals and letters have also been received
from the North of Spain, brought over by the INDE-
FATIGABLE frigate, of 4.4. guns, from-which we give
the subjoined extracts.—The letter of the 2d instant
from Corunna, and which is the most important of
them all, is from a Lieutenant. Colonel in the Spanish
Army. We have so often found ourselves deceived
by the Spanish accounts, that we receive them all
with much suspicion. We shall be happy if future
accounts shall confirm the retreat of the French from
Madrid ; but the Spaniards, if they wish not to be
enslaved, must employ exertions ten times greater than
they have yet exhibited ; and we frankly confess, that
of this we have not the smallest hope, If they could
not rid their country of invaders, while their oppressor
was obliged to send a great part of his force into
Germany, what is to be expected when he can now
pour all his at mies into the Peninsula !

CAROLINA, SEPTEMBgR 8.
The head-quarters of the army of General Vene•
gas are still here. This army has been considerably
reinforced ; the infantry alone amounts to 26,860
men. The cavalry is stationed in La Mancha, and
pushes its advanced parties as far as Madridejos and
the vicinity of Tembleque. The divisions of this
army occupy at present the following positions ; the
Ist is in Valdepenas, the 2d at Villannavo de les In.
fantes, and one regiment has been detached to Villa-
manrique and Venta Nueva ; the :1(1 division is in
Cortidura and the environs of that place ; and the
4th in Visa. The enemy occupies Coana, Tembleque,
and Das-Bavuos, and his advanced parties are in
Yepes and Villasolas. The French artillery has beets
removed from Mora to Almonacid, where the enemy
fortifies himself, and his movements are so various,
that it is impossible to penetrate into his future plan
of operation.

LISBON, SEPTEMBER 25.
Letters from Castillo Blanco advise, that the Frencir
who occupied Coria and its environs, have retreated
into the interior of Spain. We also know by letters
frcrn plem Tigo, that the Spanish army of Estre-
maditra is about to put itself in motion, probably for
the purpose of detaching 15,000 men, who are to join
the army in La Mancha.

which shall extend to Franc kfort, through Strasburgh.
Since the 23d of this month the engineers have placed
a telegraph on the Felaberg, two miles from this city,

is a large tower, built by a landgrave of Hesse. It is
believed that this line will be prolonged to Holland.

GOTTENBURGH MAILS.

GOTTENBUROH, OCTOBER 13.—The Danish Go-
vernment have appointed Baron Rosenkrantz to meet
the Swedish Envoy Adlerberg, at Jongsping, as early
as circumstances will allow, to settle the prelimina-
ries of peace between the two countries, which, it is
to be supposed, will be concluded at the end of next
month. The fleet under the command of Sir James
Saumarez has arrived at Carlscrona, where it experi-
ences the most friendly reception.

ned from Stockholm about a month ago, and left
this yesterday for Copenhagen, which place he will

cluse way, and his appearance is very dejected. It is
said his reception at Stockholm did not meet his ex-
pectations.
General Adlersparre is expected here to-morrow ;
great preparations are making to receive him. A son
of the renowned General Blucher arrived here this
morning from England, whither he was sent with
dispatches from the Archduke Charles. He set off
immediately for Carlscrona, from whence he will be
conveyed to the Continent by a sloop of war now on

PARIS, OCTOBER 36.
His Excellency the Grand Chancellor of the Le-
ginn of Honour, exercising provisionally the func-
tions of the Grand Chancellor of the Three Golden
Fleeces, has noticed, in consequence of orders which
his Majesty the Emperor and King communicated to
him in .i letter, dated Schoenbrunn, October 8, that
no Frenchman, of whatever degree or condition, may
receive or bear any of the Orders of the Golden
Fleece; sue, Order being incompatible with that of
the Three Golden Fleeces, erected by his Imperial
and aoyal Majesty.
OCTOBER 18.—His Majesty the Emperor was still
at Schoenbrunn on the 14th inst. The advices from
Vienna of that date contain nothing official respecting
the conclusion of peace, but preparations continued
to be made for the Emperor's departure. The ad-
vance of the Imperial Guard was on its march.
On Saturday, Count Montalivet, the new Minister
of the Interior, took the oath of office in the presence
of the Prince Arch-Chancellor, and immediately after
entered upon the exercise of his functions.
Marshal the Duke of Ragusa is, it is reported, to

The supplementary levy ordered by the Senatus
Consultum of the sth inst. is carrying into effect,
simultaneously, and with the greatest activity, in all
the departments. Those of the five classes therein
specified, who may have married previous to the pub-
lication of the Decree, are, by the 4th article, ex-
empted from the ballot ; and by the sth article, per-
sons having stood the chance of the ballot for the pre-
ceding contingents, and for the present contingent of
36,000, without being drawn, shall be free from all
future calls.

We arc assured that improvements, upon a very
extensive scale, are about to be executed in the Port of
Antwerp, which will be enlarged so as to contain a
numerous fleet of ships of the line. It is also said,
that additions are to be made to the fortifications of
Ostend. Sblikens will be put in a slate of defence,
and the fine sluices in that village will be secured
against the dangers of a cour-de-main.
The English, in their expedition to the Scheldt,
have lost several vessels of different rates. The fol-
lowing is a return of their known losses:-1. A pin-
nace sunk in attempting to interrupt the communica-
tion between Flushing and the Isle of Cadsand. 2.
Three pinnaces sunk on the' d of August, by the fire
of the batteries of die Isle of Walcheren. 3. A cor-
vette, copper-bottomed, wrecked on the 3d of Sep-
tember, on the bank of Oost-Callot. 4. Several
bomb-vessels, lost under the batteries of Flushing, in
the attack upon that place. 5. Two ships of the line

TIDE ARMY

We are happy to announce that Captains DRAKE
and ALLEN, of the 23d Light Dragoons, who distin-
guished themselves greatly in the celebrated charge
made by that gallant corps in the battle of Talavera,
and who were severely wounded and taken prisoners
by the enemy, have since effected their escape, and
joined the remains of their intrepid corps at Elvas.
A ball which Captain DRAKE received in his arm
still remains unextracted, but he is nevertheless doing
well. This is the same Captain DRAKE who, in
Egypt, under the lamented ABERCROMBIE, in 1801,
with a little party composed i Quarter-Master
MOORE and 20 privates, took a French Officer and
40 men prisoners.

Captain ALLEN, though not quite well, has, we are
happy to add, greatly recovered from the effect of
his wounds.

The 37th Regiment is expected to march into
Derby within a few days, to be stationed there. This
fine regiment is lately arrived from the Island of Tri-
nidad. Previous to their quitting that Island, a De-
putation of his Majesty's Council waited upon Lieu-
tenant-Colonel SPREAD, with a very flattering Ad-
dress, to which that gallant Officer, in the !lame of
his troops, returned an answer expressive of their high
sense of the kindness they experienced.
Two transports have arrived at Dover, from Flush-
ing, with about 130 sick men belonging to the 68th
and 71st Regiments.
About 100 foreign soldiers, lately in the French
service at Walcheren, have marched from the depot
at Portchester to join the light brigade of the King's
German Legion at Bexhill.

CUPAR, OCIODER 18-

Early en the morning of the 13th ins•ant a most •
daring attack was made upon John Howie, mason in
Ceres. He had been at Cupar market the day pre-
ceding, where he unfortunately had remained too
long, and passed the south toll-bar about dawn of
day, on his way home, which was nearly two milk
distant. Bete o n six and seven o'clock that morning,
some slaters, on their way south to their work, were
alarmed at the appearance of different quantities of
blood upon the high road ; and, while conversing
stbout the cause, they heard some groans in the wood
upon their left, where they found John Howie, almost
lifeless, robbed of k.,29. He was conveyed to his fa-
CRT's house, and surgical aid being procured, ten
nieces of fractured bones were extracted from his
skull. John Dandie, jun. a recruit belonging to the
rdeshire regiment of Militia, was committed the
same evening. by warrant of the Sheriff of Fife, to
Cupar jail, accused of being accessary to this assault
and robbery. His absence from parade that morning,
returning to Cipar with bloody clothes, and employ-
ing a woman to wash them, created great suspicion
against him. I.'!-.e Sheriff has been actively employed
since in taking a precognition.
