Sir BRENT SPENCER'S going on service, gives the
most universal satisfaction throughout the army.—
This invaluable Officer has now perfectly recovered
his heaEl. We would be glad to see that very able
and active Officer General FEAGUSOM, likewise era-
ployed : we hope soon to have to announce his join-
mg the army in the field.
We have just seen the letter of a Gentleman with
General GRAHAM'S army. , In the late affair at Mata-
gorda the British troops were greatly eminent : they
excited the admiration of the Spaniards ; and the ut-
most cordiality prevails between our brave country.
men and the inhabitants, who readily supply whatever
they have ; fresh !provisions and particularly vegeta-
bles are, however, becoming very scarce. The troops
were at one time unhealthy ; but that very able man,
Sir JAMES FELLOWS, since his Lrrival, has taken such
measures that all are now healthy. Sir JAMES, being I
perfectly acquainted with the diseases peculiar to
Cadiz, has instructed the Physicians and Surgeons in
the proper mode of treating them.
The whole army look up with the greatest confi-
dence to their loader, General GRAHAM. The Ho-
nourable General STEWART, the second in command,

Our Correspondent continues, " the French • kept
up a pretty heavy fire on Saturday and Sunday, on
our post, which, as we expected, could hold out
but a little time. We therefore evacuated and
blew it up. A Quirt* ' Master's wife of Lord
Chatham's regiment, who• was prisoner at the other
side of the water, came in a few nights ago, and de-
clared she counted 18 waggon loads of- killed and
wounded, taken from the b.ttteries that were engaged
via our people on Saturday and Sunday ; and that
the French were constantly on the alert, expecting to
be attacked by us. We have been very sickly, and

of Sir JAtdES FELLOWES every thing has taken a good

CEPHALONIA, MARC:I7.
Nothing particular has happened in Zante or here;
since they were taken possession of in the beginning
of October; the former island is garrisoned by the
35th Regiment, 1200 strong—this island by the
Royal Corsican Rangers, 700 strn'g—and 3O) 4-f
De Roll's arrived to relieve two compani:3 of the
44:11, which have sailed for Messina. The Corsicans
are very healthy, as they have lost but one man by
sickness in six months. What a pity it is Corfit had
not been attacked last summer, instead of sending a
useless expedition to Ischia : if that island h.td been
taken all the other six islands of tie Republic would
have required only a corporal's guard, instead of
which the British Government are at the expence o
k .citing a force in Zante and Cephalonia, independ.-nt
of laying out money en roads and fortifications,
ing two Sttbinspectors of Militia, a Commandant in
Ithaca, Stc. and R. S. and S.

The French retain Corfu, (which is garrisoned by
7000 men, and is very strong), Pazu, close by Corfn,
• St. Maori:, which is very strong, and has a garrison
of L3OO men ; it is only five miles from this island.
The French are glad we possess those islands, as it
weakens our force in Sicily ; they may retake them
whenever they think proper, but it is apprehended
they will shortly march through Albania into the
Molea, when necessity will oblige us to evacuate
those islands, as we mast be starved if our cemmuni.
cation is cut dr from the Continent ; at present three
transports arc ord•-•red from hence to the Morea, to
purchase cattle, to carry even to Sicily. I hope their
stay will be short, as in the event of the French lan-
ding, we shall be made prisoners ; as those ships were
stationed here to embark us in the event of the island
being attacked—but it is much better to ran the risk
of being taken than starved. We very seldom see a
King's ship here ; and the Roadstead of Zante is so
much exposed, that the transoorts cannot remain
there, which obliges them to take refuge here. The
English have one company of the 35th at Singo, and
two companies of the Corsican Rangers at Ithaca.—
Yon may be told in England that these are very va-
luable islands, and that they will open a m trt for our
i commerce • the only appearance of trade we whams,
is two or three little tradesmen carrying a parcel of
English manufacture, from Malta, tinier their arms
to.vend. The winter has been very mild, hut the
mountains are sometimes covered with snow. Thc
roads are wretched, as well as the greatest number of
the inhabitants. We know nothing of what is going
on in Turkey ; but we are ir.formcd that ;,000
French are shortly to march to the South of Italy, to
threaten Sicily.
Government will recall the troops from the::e
'blinds, which they will shortly discover is attended
with a great espenee, to answer on purpose whatever.
A conspiracy to carry off a box containing 10,000
dollars, from the Commissary •of Stores, has just
been discovered. The principals were the two confi-
dential servants of the Commissary, and the master
of a boat, who was to have conveyed them to the
Continent : the parties are confined.
This day the Kingfisher sloop of war takes con-
voy to Malta. General Oswald is arrived from Zinte
—it is conjectured he means to attack the isles of St.
Maura, Fano or Pazu.—Remains the Magnificent..
of 74 guns.
