" BROSA (ESTIMMADIIR4 JOLT VI.

I, The French army has for the greater part retreated from
this province towards Madrid. 4>bout 20,000 men have been
detached into Andalusia, under Regnier. Badajos is occupied by
4000 men. Don Julian, a famous leader of Guerilla, holds
Ciudad Rodrigo closely blockaded by 5000 men. He lately
seized a booty of three million franks, which he divided among
his followers.

" The Prince of Orange has repaired to the English army."
The Lisbon Journals mention that 700 cavalry had
joined the Gallician army under SANTOCILDES.

A Mail from Heligoland with some letters from
the Baltic, arrived late on Saturday night. It appears
that the Danes have again been most gallantly re-
puked in a fresh attempt upon the island of Anholt,
Leith the logs of about SOO men. An. Officer on the
island, in a letter dated the 10th inst. says :

" Another very severe attack has been made upon
us on the 27th ult. by the Danes, with twenty or
thirty of their largest vessels. We have taken about
500 prisoners, and killed their Commander. It is
really impossible for words to express the gallant con-
duct of our Governor (Maurice.) He is indeed a
brave fellow. The Tartar and Sheldrake were of some
assistance to us. We are in high spirits at having
given the enemy another drubbing."
_ _ _

The following is an extract of a letter from an Of-
ficer of the Csescsxx, cruising in the Baltic, dated
the 3d instant :

" On the 3d a signal was thrown out for a general
chace, and then to prepare for battle. Three Danish
brigs of '2O guns each, the Lowland, Sougen, and
Langeland, were right a-head of the squadron, and
36 miles from the coast of Norway ; we had one ship
of 88 guns ; Daphne, 21 guns ; Cruizer, 18 guns ;
Raleigh, 18 guns, and a gun•brig and cutter of 14
guns each ;we chased the enemy all night—in the
evening we were close in shore, they were joined by
another brig and a schooner, besides 12 gun-beats,
at which time we were obliged reluctantly to tack,
otherwise we should have taken the whole.

" I think we shall have peac e with Russia, as we
fell in with three transports lad en with shot, shells,
and gunpowder, going up for the use of the Russians
under convoy of the Grasshopper, of 18 guns."

The following accounts were this morning received
at the India House:

The GEORGIANA packet arrived at the Mother-
bank the 25th inst. sailed from Bengal 13th March,
arrived at the Cape of Good Hope the 2d June, and
failed from thence the 17th of that month, arrived at
St. Helena the 4th, and sailed on the 6th July.
The JOHN PALMER country ship, was to touch at the
Minritius.

:Tice AUSIOCIOUS country ship went into the Cape
of Good Hope to repair some little damage sustained
by lightning.
The CURACOA frigate arrived at the Cape of Good
Hope 12th June, having parted with the following
outward-bound off the Cape, the 9th June, all well, •iz.

TAUNTON CASTLE, PRINCESS AMELIA, NORTHAMPTON,
and UNION, RANKINE.

The MARCHIONESS OF EXETER, and UNION, FAIR-
FAX, (extra ship), were to sail frota St. Helena for
Bengal on the 6th July.

Lord Marro sailed from Bengal on the 13th March,
in the MORNI%GTON cruizer, for Madras, when he
was to proceed in the MonEBTE frigate, with the ex-
pedition to Batavia. •

An absurd story was circulated yesterday of an-
other unsuccessful attempt having been made by the
Danes upon Anholt. but we cannot trace it to any'
authentic. source.

Corfu, it is stated, was at the beginning of July,
blockaded' by ten Ei:glish ships of war, of different
sizes ; 'so judiciously stationed, that the French and
Italian vessels, which should attempt to enter with
supplies for the garrison, could not escape capture.
Advices have been received from St. Domingo, to
the 6th ult. Our Naval Commanders on the West-
India station have, it is said, at length been roused to
a sense of the unjust conduct of Christophe, and de-
termined on putting an end to his depredations on Bri-
tish commerce. In June last, several of our cruizers
authored off St. Goriaives, and demanded the restitu-
tion of two vessels from Jamaica, which had been car-
ried into that port, as well as satisfaction for the death
(1 a British seaman, killed by a shot from one of the

batteries at Cape Francois. These demands being re-
jected by Christophe, measureswere immediately taken
for blockading.his fleet at Gonaives and the Cape.
When the Comus, which is arrived at Portsmouth,
left Cadiz, en the 80th last, Admiral LEGGE wati
et-hieing off Cape Spam), with the REPULSE, AL-1
FRED, STATELY, and Sr. ALBAN'S, with a view to
intercept a French squadron, which was expected to
attempt to escape out of Rocheforr.—A letter we have
received from an Officer at Cadiz,, states, that the
French have lately reinforced their army before Ca-
diz with 10,000 men, of whom 6,000 were Poles,
and that the Spaniards were more supine than ever.
, Lieutenant LE BLANC, nephew of Mr. JUSTICE LE
J3LANC, eommanding.the FEARLESS mortar-brig, had
died of the wounds he received in attempting to cut
out a French vessel.

" There is no alteration in his MAJESTY to-day.
(Signed) "H. HALFORD. Al. BAILLIE. R. WILLIS*"

The debility and lowness with which his MAJESTY
is frequently afflicted, often proceed from his exces-
sive propensity to talking; within these few days he
talked near 22 hours, with very little cessation. It is
also increased by frequent violent attacks of his ma-
lady. On Wednesday morning, he took some cho-
colate for his breakfast, and on the same day he par-
took of a made dish and some mutton for his dinner.
His appetite is frequently as good as ever it was.
The Duke of SUSSEX had another violent attack
on Saturday evening, and experienced a very bad
night afterwards. The Duke of CUMBERLAND called

House, in Warwickshire. His Royal Highness was

Norton, the landlord of which, Mr. Wth'SON, has had
the honour of being long known to his Royal High-
ness.

Saturday arrived at the Queen's Lodge, the Duke
of MONTROSE, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and
Lords AYLESPORD and WINCUELSEA, where they had

last, was landed at Portsmouth on Friday, from the

The amputation was performed with great skill and
ability by Mr. GREY, surgeon of the ALenco, under
whose care he has sufficiently recovered to be sent to
his native coun ry.
Lieutenant A LsroN, of the Middlesex Militia, start-
ed Saturday morning, at four o'clock, to perform a
task f forty.five miles, in nine hours, on the Chiches-
ter r•ad. He performed twenty-seven miles in five
hours, when he gave up the task. Betting was five
to two against him at starting.
The mechanic, n;tom we formerly stated to have
ailed in an attempt to go from Hurncastte to Louth
and back again, a distance of 28 miles; in a carriage
I to be worked by himself, has since performed the task

in twenty-four hours—half the time allowed. The
carriage is made by himself; it is constructed on
such principles, that the person who rides in it may
move it forward by turning a handle, which, operat-
ing on the external works, impels the carriage for.
ward without the aid of any animal power. He re-
turned to Horncastle on Saturday, amidst the accla-
Maqons of numerous spectators. Several large bets
were depending on the performance : the distance
from Louth to Horncastle is 44 miles.
Saturday morning a fire broke out at the sign of
the Hawk public-house, at Hampstead, which totally
consumed the whole of the premises, and greatly da-
maged the house adjoining. We are sorry to add,
that the flames were so rapid in their progress, that
Mr. Knight, the landlord, in attempting to escape
from a window, fell, and fractured his skull in a most
dreadful manner ; and when our informant left the
spot, Mrs. Knight and the servant were missing.
