sad replies to the fears that some still entertain, that
these three impostors pretend to re-conquer Madrid."

" 'Souk is between Santa Clemente and Cuenca ;
Suchet, at Cuenca—General Maitland observes the
former ; General B-allasteros is at Granada; &c. ;
General Hill, at Toledo, where it is supposed our
light divisions will join him. We have just learnt,
that General Hill has advanced to Gropes°, and
who commands all the roads south of Madrid; upon
which place Soult appears to be advancing."

STAR-OFFICE, ONE O'CLOCK.
•
The accounts received by Government this morn-
.
ing from Cadiz, state, that Souvr was still advancing
to complete his junction with Smarr, but he was
much impeded by BaLLasreaos, whose corps had
greatly increased.
tveneral Coons left Seville on the 28th ult. to join
Sir ROWLAND HILL . . .
In justice to a gallant Officer (General MAIT.
ItAND), whose name appears in the extracts from
the Spanish Papers, it is but fair to state, that
Government have received no such information as
that alluded to in the Conciso. It was, however,
reported at Cadiz, that General MAITLAND had re-
signed his command at Alicant, from ftttess. Ge-
neral Macrame, his Second in commands; has suc-
ceeded him.

The Surinam Mail brings the following intelligence:
" GUADALOUPZ, AUGUST rumour is in circulation of
several American privateers being in these seas. The master of
a ',Tel just arrived from St. Thomas's says, that a ship from
Gibraltar to St. Domingo has been taken, and the crew landed
at Porto RicO. it is reported that severaivesedibisesinis taken
by American privateers.
AUGUST es.—The report of Amen MI% privateers bib' in
these seas still continues. The capture of some Drogialluffligar-
tinique appears to be confirmed."
MURDER.—A letter from Deal, dated yesterday,
says-44 A murder of an atrocious nature has just
been committed on board of a ship lying in the
41)owns. From the best information I can collect,
it appears that the deceased was Serjeant of marines,
and for some cause was ordered by the Lieutenant,
illicznianding in the absence of the Captain, to walk
the quarter-deck, with a musket on his shoulder, like
it private : this, it appears, he refused to do, remark.
ill to the officer, that he might put him in irons, or
king him to a Court Martial it he chose, and if he
should happen to be broke, it would then be time
enough for him to carry a musket. This reply seems
to have irritated the lofty son of Neptune so much,
that he went down below for his dirk or sword, and,
coming again on deck, ran the unfortunate Serjeant
through the body, 3nd he expired almost immediately.
Ai this matter will of course, be investigated betore
the proper tribunal, I shall forbear saying any thing
farther at present. The remains of the murdered
man have been brought on shore to the Naval Hos-
pital, and I understand an Admiralty Inquest will
be immediately taken on the body."
COVENT GARDF.N.•—•Last night the Tragedy QE
Macbeth was represented at this Theatre. Mr. Yount,
in the character of Macbeth, or in any other where all
that is strong and violent in our nature must be
brought into view, can never, even for a moment, give
the pain of disgust; and though in every scene be
was, not equally successful, he was seldom far re-
moved from what even cold and calculating criticism
should desire. In the scene after the murder he was
highly impressive, and uttered the wordi—,6 I could
not say amen, when he did say good-night," with an
effect that must have,been felt by every person who is
open to the compunctious visitings of conscience.—
Mrs. Powzu., as Lady Machdk, was at no time infe-
rior to the part ; she possesses strong feeling, and no
small power of communicating ofhat she feels. Mr.
. C. KEMBLE, particularly distinguisheclhimself in the
character of Msaujr—in the scene where. he bears of
the murder of his wife and children,. he was highly
and deserve-di), .applauded,
