The General Porlier, which has arrived from Co-
rinna, has brought letters dated from thence to the
7th of September. We are happy to find, that an
active co-operation may be expected from the Galli-
cian army extremely favourable to the purposes of
Lord WELLINGTON. A division of these forces, to
the number of 2500 men, had advanced to Benavente,
from whence the French had retired, and tock pos-
session of the place. The retreat of the enemy was
auxiliary to his union of the concentration of the
troops in the Northern District, under the command
of General D'ORSENNE.

Letters from Cadiz have been transmitted by a
private ship to the Bth instant, but they communi-
cate no news of the least importance. On the 29th
of August, in the evening, General BALLEstEttos
entered Cadiz. .On his landing, he was surrounded
by an immense multitude, who greeted him with
loud and continued acclamatiods. From some Papers
from the Peninsula, we select the following articles :
VILLANUEVA DE CELTRU, AUGUST 22.

The Superior Junta of this Priucipality (Cralonia) continues
in Berga, and the Head-quarters have been at Itipol since the
15th instant. Our troops have returned from an invasion of the
French territory with a considerable booty. Our dispersed forces
reunite in every direction, mostly with their arms, and join the
skirmishing parties. General Lacey is an eye-witness of the en-
tbuslastn of the Catalonians. General Milans has left Arinis,
with 1508 men and 40 horse, for Ampurdan, which will be the
theatre of war, and from whence we hope taking a happy result
of the enterprise in mutt mplation.

While the project against Rosas is conducting, the Port of Pa-
-1111103 will be extremely useful to assist in the operations, and it
may be defended by a small gsrrison. The sharpshooters perse-
vere in following up the French, especially in the neighbourhood
of Villafranca; Barcelona, Valls, and Arnpurdati.

On the 16th of this month, 130 French were killed in the mn-
Watery of Montserrat; and waggons with wounded are con rinn-
ally passing from !gush& to Le Orda. The stations of Mongat
and Contreria are defetid.d by our valiant Patriots. •

In Motril 300 of our soldiers took the whole French garrison,
sonsisting of 180 men. After these prisoners were embarked,
MOO of the enemy arrived from Almeria, and were fired upon
by the armed vessels.

The following letter from Rio de la Plata came to
band yesterday, and it will be found to relate two
important facts :

" BUENOS AYRES, JULY 12.

" Since the short-lived attempt of the Cabildo to b!ockade this
port, that measure has not been resumed. The Nereus has sailed
for Monte Video; and it is'said t• be the Intention •f Captain
Heywood to order all British vessels t• leave that port, and' to
proceed to any other they choose—as Elio has not suffered them
to hoist their colours, and therthy to be protected frogs the fire
of the besieging Buenos Ayre's army."
Several imporrtnt documents from Buenos Ayres'
were also receiveJ. An official statenic;,t of the p;.1).
lie force estimates the army of that city at 37b3 men,
independent of the volunteers. A dispatch from
Chili declares the pnrpose of that Government to
support the capital of Buenos Ayres against Etto's
nefarious designs.

captivity fast approaching, through the means of the
English frigate. It is also reported, that the Dutch
erpressed‘great joy on coming on board the NAIAD.
Monday last, the new Magistrates of Dublin were
sworn :n.There was afterwards a grand dinner at the
Mansion House, at which were present the Duke of
:licrtairrala Mr. W. POLE, Earls MARCH, HARRING-
TON; '.. In the toasts, after dinner, the health of
1,,):' AiAncii, who had retired, being given, the Duke
of RICHMOND returned thanks, and said, " I'm sure
you w ill give due credit to his absence, when I tell
yCll MARCH has retired to lay in a stock of health, to
enable him to return to his master, LordWELLINGL'ON, 1
to fight your battles."
Mrs. Mary White, who lately died at Ince, inl
Cheshire, had for a long time Iraq:tented Chester'
market with fish. At the time of her death she had
in her possession 7.50 guineas, €2O in silver, and se- ,
curity tot €lOOO, the accumulated proceeds of her i
earnings, which, for security, were deposited under a
flag stone in the kitchen.
BREAKING OPEN TDB PRIVY COUNCIL OFFICE.—A
low nights since the Privy Council Office was broken
open. The office-keeper was alarmed by a noisy in
the upper part of the office, which awoke him ; he
got a light immediately and went up stairs, and dis-
covered that some person or persons li:d entered by
a •.viodow which had been opened by the parties from.
the back premises leading from the ruins of an old
house in Downing-street, which was pulled dowa
some tine since for the purpose of enlarging the East
India Board Office. That plan has beau abandoned,
and the Privy Council Office is now where the East
India Board used to be held. The robbers decamped,
it is supposed, without stealing any thing on hearing
the office-keeper stirring. It is suspected that the,
thieves narrowly escaped falling into a large cistern
of water, belonging to a water-closet, which was
close to the window where they entered.
HORRID MURDER AND ROBBERY.—On Wednesday
evening, about seven o'clock, as Mr.WTylde, a farmer,
of Sunderidge-place, was returning from Croydon
Fair, in a horse and chaise, accompanied by his son
and grandson, they were stopped near the top of
-Westerhain-hill, by a single footpad, who demanded
their money ; Mr. Wylde replied, " My friend, you
are too late, as I have paid all my money away in
the purchase of sonic oxen at the fair."—The robber
presented a pistol at the time he stopped them. Mr.
Wylde, however, gave him all the money he had at
the time, which was only a few shillings, with which
the villain expressed himself much dissatisfied ; he
insisted upon having more from them, and said he
was sure it was not all they had got. The villain
keeping his pistoh presented at Mr. Wylde's head,
-- Mr. N. turned it from his head with his whip ; but

Accounts were yesseiday received from Gibraltar,
and from several Spanish ports on the 'coast of the
Mediterranean. The letter from Valencia reach to
the end of August, at which time much alarm pre-
♦ailed, in cDnsecrience of the approach of the French
who are said to have advanced rapidly, and in consi-
derable force, alcng the coast from Catalonia.

The Eliza cartel has arrived at Dartmouth from
Mc.rlaix, with an American messenger on board.
is the bearer of dispatches for the American
in London, with which he immediately set. off for
Lond,n. In the present state of our relations with
America, the following communication may .be re-
zarded as highly important :

" The Prince Madoc, G. W. B.ttctt master, bound from Nur-
elk to London, was boarded in the Chops of the Channel by a
French privateer, iehen a minute examination was made of her
Papers, and it being ascertained that she ..vas an American ves-
sel with Americas' produce, she was permitted to proceed on
her voyage, without molestation, and was treated with particular
•ivility."
This is, perhaps, the Fast instance in which it has
been sheen, that the French law of blockade, as ap-
plied to the flag of the United States, is rescinded. If
these examples of forbearance be repeated, there will
be no doubt respecting the revocation of the Berlin and
lk;iion Decrees, as far as they relate to the Republic.
The Constitution American frigate, which has arri-
ved in the Downs from the Texel, has left in Holland
250,000 dollars, in payment of the dividends on the
American funds. She is to proceed by the first fair
wind to Cherbourg, to receive on board Mr. Russsot ,
who is appointed Charge d'Affaires for the United
States at the Court of London.
