Letters from Salamanca inform us, that disease.;
of the soldiers of Massena have been caught by the
inhabitants, in consequence of which the mortality in
that unhappy country is very great, in which this cit.•
cumstance, as well as many more, will ever perpetu-
ate the memory of their visitors. The Marquis of
Valdecarzane is since dead of the epidemic disco'.
They write from Medina del Campo in the 16th

that the skirmishing parties in Castile are daily ail •

They write from France that it was rumoured *re
that the King of Prussia was dead. ConcerninCe
King of Sweden reports are various, some say that
his abdication was ialked of; and that Bernadotte,
having before renounced the Roman Catholicind

We must correct an error into which the Papers run
iw reporting what passed in the two. Houses on Thurs-
day. None or the Noble Lords called the two Houses
d Convention the two Estates of the Realm, but con-
only spoke of them by the general name of the States,
ache Estates of the Realm.
At a late hour last night, we received Menireurs to
the 10th instant. They say nothing respecting the
affairs of the Peninsula ; but they present a singular
detail of a naval operation of the enemy, which seems
to demand investigation.
It is positively asserted in Paris that the 2d daugh
ter of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is about to be married
ID IF.RDINAND VII. King of Spain, who is to be re-
istated on the Throne of Spain, upon such conditions
IS BONAPARTE shall judge proper.
No doubt now remains respecting the pregnancy
rf the young Empress of France. A Lady who is
to officiate as sage. emme has already taken up her re.
idence in the Palace of St. Cloud. Her Majesty has
declined the assistance of an aecoucheur. It is some-
what singular that the name of the female whom she
AIRS selected is Madame Le Sate.

sure.

pused yesterday morning to be admitted candidate for

proposed as a candidate, and accepted ; Samuel Ha- I
rnilton, an Officer of Marlborough-street, and Henry

In the Court of King's Bench, Lord ELLENBOROUGH
anntunced, that the Court had ordered, that where
bail came to justify on a debt exceeding £lOOO, the
Lail should not be held to justify for mare than £lOOO
above the amount of the debt. This is a wholesome
egulation. His Lordship informed Mr. WARREN,
that in the ease of the Rev. Mr. POVAH and the
Bishop of LONDON, the Judges, on the ground of law
and precedent, were unanimously of opinion that the
Rule :load le :Maid, which was done accordingly.
Sit JAMES Maasinaut informed the Gentlemen of
the Common Pleas Bat, on Wednesday, that the re-
gulation with respect to the sum for which bail is to
Justify on account of costs, recently adopted in the
Conn of King's Bench by Lord ELLENNOROUGH,
would be observed in the Court of Common Pleas.

broker, as stated in the return, for £32. The trades-

1113 n was shortly after made a bankrupt, when he
. tnentioned the particulars of this transaction, and a
Writ of Inquiry was issued. The Jury, after bear-
ing several witnesses, found in their verdict the value

of the goods to be £2OO.—A baker, of the name of
Rateliff, sued for the recovery of AS 14s. 2d. from a
Mr. Archer, for bread served to his wife. The de-
fcadant -denied that the lady in question was his wife,
but it being proved that she had contracted the debt
while he allowed her to assume his name, a verdict
v.ls given sg.tinst Kim for the amount.
