" The probibibition of grain (established by the Decree of the
22d of June) from the Island of Schowen to L'Orient, extends
itself also to vessels provided with licences.
" No grain may be expo:tett between L'Orient and Bourdeauv
but by french ships, which shall, at the same time, be obliged to

The Journals contain a long account of a dreadful
accident which happened during a Fete given at Paris
on the Ist of this month, by Prince SCHWARZENBERG,
the Austrian Ambassador, at which NAPOLEON, the
Empress, the Queen of Napies, the King and Queen
of Westphalia, the Viceroy of Italy, and a numerous
company were present. The room in which the
Ball was given was, after the Parisian fashion, orna-
mented with pictures of gauze, muslin, and other
light stuffs.—ln an early part of the evening, the
drapery of a window-Furtain caught fire; the flame

members of his family who were present also escap,
but not without being in some danger. The Princess
Pauline SCHWA RZENBERO and one of her daughters
unfortunately perished in the tames. The Russiaa
Prince KuaAKn was dangerously hurt, and about
fifteen persons were more or less wounded. We have
given the particulars in a preceding column—also a

SPAIN.

Last night we received letters from Malaga to the
_ _

19th, and from Corunna to the 29th ultimo—the only
accounts that have been received from these quarters
for some time.

The letters from Corunna speak with confidence of
the security of Gallicia, and bring orders for mer.
chandize, as if on its arrival it would be exposed to
no danger. It is mentioned by a Gentleman who kft
Bilboa, that during the short time be resided tkere,
30,000 conscripts were inspected by the commanding
officer, of which only one thousand were fit for service;
a great proportion of the rest being under 16 years
of age.

The following is an extract from one of the Malaga .
letters :

MALAGA, JUNE le.

gg The French are fortifying Gibralfaro, a Moorish
castle on a mountain above the town, and command.
ing the place and harbour. They have done this as a
precaution against the peasants, who swarm in great
numbers round the country. Our garrison consists
of about 1000 Polish troops, and the French have
15(X) at Mixas. From the lest the French sent a
force to Marbella, to take possession of a castle there;
but the Spaniards having received guns from Gibral.

Great numbtrs,..f the French fall daily by the skir-
mishing warfare which prevails all around us. There
are live mails wanting from Madrid, which are pro.
hably intercepted by. the peasantry. The contest is
carried on with great barbarity ; if the French take
t',e armed peasants, they hang them ; and if the latter
make the former captiv..s, they cut them i., pieces..
The roads are as much ilfested with plunderers as
warriors. We just Earn that an English frigate, and

This morning we received letters from the Tagus
to the 26th ult. which confirm what we hive mars
than once stated, that numerous transports h.►ve been
provided and are now in readiness to receive the Bri.
tish army, should any event render it desirable to with.
draw our force from that quarter. Of tans event,
however, thare is less p:obablity than there wasscme
weeks ago. The subjoined is from a British Officer :

" LISBON, JUNE L.

a In spite of the expectation so strongly entertained
some weeks ago by our army, no general action has
yet taken place between the armies ; nor is such an
event so likely at prose it as it was several weeks ago.
The positions occupied by our farces, are so strong,
both by nature and art, that the enemy seem very
loath to attack us; but still we keep prepared for the
wont : the whole country, in the rear of our army to
Lisbon, is open to us, and there are seven hundred:ail
of transport: now lying in the Tagus, to be employed
as circumstances may render it necessary. The fol.
lowing ships of war are also lying here, under do
(Tiers of Admiral BERKELEY, O2.—the Bitneur,
Kent, Cesar, l'lmpetueux, of the line ; la Niemen fri-
gate, Myrtle and Ephira sloops, and Resolute gun-
brig.

" Li4bon at present wears a very miserable apper.
ance ; there is very little trade stirring, and, were it
not for our squadron, and the number of transports
here, it would cut a much worse figure.

" Our army entirely depend on the importation of
provisions, as the produce of the country has not, for
►he 1-ist two years, afforded sufficient to subsist the

i nh.tbitAnts.

" I have received a letter from an Officer belong-
ing to the Buffs, detailing a gallant 2ff lir which oc-
curred between an outpost of theirs, and a detachment
of the enemy, in the vicinity of Portalegre. The
enemy greatly exceeded our small party, who never-
theless killed and wouncl'..d ten of them, and took
near forty prisoners, including the Captain who com-
manded them.

" When any thing occurs, I shall send again; bat
will not attempt to prophecy."

YesterdAy afternoon we received papers from New
York to the 14th ult. from which we have extracts
a few paragraphs, shewing the irritati.,n of parties
in
the United States, and suggesting the probability of
the convocation of the Legislature, in consequence cf
the dispatches transmitted from Europe, by the Min
Adams.

Yesterday, about eleven o'clock, the LORD MATO&
and Sheriff, &c. went to Stratford, and held a Court
of Conservatory at the Swan tavern.
In the Cc urt of Exchequer, SirWATKIN Ltwes was
decreed to the possession of his estate in South Milo,
of which he has been deprived for the last seen and
thirty years. The
landed estate thus recovered is as-
certained by the affid.tvits of Surveyors appointed by
the Court to be worth twelve 14csuand prowls per
