Government have received dispatches from Cartha•

culars have been suffered to transpire :

gg Through that meritorious and independent Offi-
cer Colonel Roans, two Spanish three-deckers, viz.
the San Carlos -and Ferdinand VII: of 130 guns each,
have been saved from falling into the hands of the
enemy, who, 8000 strong, entered Murcia on the
13d, and on the following day were within six leagues
of Carthagena.
64 In aid of this important service, Sir SAMUEL
Hoop sent from Minorca, at the request of Colonel
ROCHE, the HIBERNIA and NeRTUUMBERLAND ships
of the line, which escorted the Spanish ships either
to Minorca or Gibraltar.

41 We are sorry to heir that ac:ounts, by the same
conveyance state, that the Spanish army of the centre,
which had reassembled to the amount of 20,000 men,
under General BLAKE, have again become fugitives."
Advices were yesterday received from the British
Mead-quarters near Almeida, dated the 9th instant.
The French were at St. Spirit() on the shores of the
Agueda to the north of Ciudad Rodrigo. The Eng-
lish encampment was on the banks of the Coa, and
likely to remain in the same situation. It was sepa-
rated from the French I lead-quarters by a bold and
mountainous district.

Our Readers will see from the extracts we have
- given in another part of our paper from the Ameri-
can Newspapers, that Mr MAcos's Bill has been at
length thrown out. The Senate having made altera-
tions in it, returned it to the House of Representa-
tives, where it was rejected on account of those altera-
tions. The Non-Intercourse Bill, therefore, remains
in force, but a motion by Mr. RANDOI:PIi to take into
consideration a resolution for its suspension was car-
ried by a majority of thirteen.
Some unpleasant circumstances had occurred at
Quebec, but in consequence of the prompt interfer-
ence of the executive Government, nothing serious
was apprehended. Two letters on the subject will be
found among our intelligence from America.

Their MAJESTIES and the Pamessns visited the

Last night the defendants in the action hrought by
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT against the Speaker and Ser.l
jeant of the House of Commons, moved by their
Counsel to amend their pleas.
Mr. BABINGTON'S name ought not to have bcen in
the list of the Majority on Mr. BRAND'S motion. Mr.
B. was by accident shut out of the House at the time
of the division, or he would have voted with the Mil
nority.
. BOROUGH OF MA LDEN.—AII the recent statements,
both in and out of Parliament, respecting the Borough
of Malden, in Essex, ate materially erroneous. The
loss of its Charter originated in the unsuccessful con-
test which BAMBER GASCOYNE, Esi. sustained against
Mr. Holm for that Borough, in the year 1763 ; the
former being thrown out by the interest of the Corpo-
ration, it being found, on investigating the proceed-
ings of that body, that they had in various instances
violated the principle of their Charter. He therefore
instituted and sustained quo warrawos against so
many of its principal members as to oust them, and
eventually to deprive the Borough of its Charter. All I
power of admitting freemen ceasing, of course the
number of freemen has. in the course of time, been I
reduced from 1200 to about 70, the existing number
4f electors. A restoration of the Charter has, there-
fore, been petitioned for, by those who have been thus
deprived of their franchise right by hereditary suc-
cession ; and Government having consented to the
prayer.of such petition, a draft of a ne*' Charter is
now before the Attorney General, which will proba- i
bly be ratified in the course of two.nioutlis, and re-1
store the right of election for the borough of Malden
to nearly its former numbers.
A dreadful fire broke out about one o'clock yester-
day morning, in Great Russel-street, Ilermondsey,
which consumed the whole of the preauise-s of Messrs.
Stove!, Davies, and Cutler, leathei -dtes,ers, &c. and
a public-house known by the sign of the Sloy: and Ball;
damages estimated at 880,000 We are happy to ;
say that there were no lives lost on this occasion. '
Thursday evening a most melancholy accident hap-
I
pened at Hampstead. Just as the stage Coach from
London, was passing the door of the Coachman's
house, a fine infant, two years, of age, ran out to
. meet its father, who drove the coach, when, strange
to tell, at the very Mornent, ihe vehicle broke down,
and falling on the child killed it on the spot. There
were several outside and inside passengers, but none
were materially injured.
A respite, during his MA TESTY'S pleasure, was o*
Sunday received in Glasgow for George Miller, who
received sentence of death at the last Circuit Court
there, for housebreaking and theft.
