Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Nov.
is :..." I am sorry to be under the painful ne-
cessity of Continuing to inform yoe, of the dread-
ful mortality in the army. The latest accounts
say, sixty or seventy per day are buried..._
Lord WELLINGTuN has been for some days
at Seville with the Junta, and the Marquis his
brother. Afterwards he accompanied the latter to
Cadiz, from whence, it is expected, he will pro-
coed to Badejos join the army."
Another letter from Lisbon, dated Nov. 17,
gars The news we have heard from Spain is
rather of a favourable nature, and many sanguine
people in this city flatter themselves that the cum-
, mon coemy will, at length, b.! expelled beyond the
natural boundary of France sad Spain. The natives
are reported t,i have gained several adva.nlatel,
and eve,' to threaten the capital, from %shirt, Jo.
scrti hnl retired. The uecupatioo of Nlattrid by
the Spaniards has been cite* reported, and I hope
it is the anticipation of an event, if they have not
yet so far succeeded, which is likely to take place.
A vessel, arrived from Gijon, has brought as
laccount, that the Spanish General PURLILIt, with
an army of 4000 men, had completely beaten the
enemy, and afterwards proceeded on its march
towards St. Andero, where it was expected to
m Ike its appearance on the following day. It is
added, that tlieweril l'o,urc, with the army tinder
his cumuli, had advanced as far as St. Vott.ent
de In Barquera.

Some months ago an account was publish.ed
in the French l'aperh of the eterution of scene
persons in France, who were susp.cied to bo•
employed by this euuniry. A Gent!email !slily
returned from France was present at the exami-
nation M PREGINT (lise re !tidenti3l agent of
M. Petsswr), who, being detected Istmatif, en.
deavoured to procure his pardon by sacri.
acing his colleagues, severui of whom became the
victims of bis 'reacher). ; and when he had declar.
ed that he had nothing further to disclose, he an.
derwent a similar fate to that wnich he bail pro.
cured for his comrades. it is said that another
agent, named CnAlitau Dart.t.tA NT, was, in like
manner, induced to attempt insuring Isis own safe.
ty, by ceimioating the persons who had assisted
him id his mission.

Yester.Lly being st. Andrew's Day, the Royal
Society held their Antoiteriary Sleeting at their
epArtments in Somerset.pl4ce, when the Prelidest,
the Hight Hun. Sir joeeru kl.t.Ne,s, Bart. K. B.
In the name of the SaMety, presented the gots' le.
dal (tallied Sir attettnty Cort.c vitt) to Mr. En.
RAID BanUolitOlf, fur the account of his me.

Aftetwards the Society proceeded to the choice
of the Connell and Olken for the ensuing year,
when; on enansinin4 the ballots, it appeared, that
the following Gentleseen were elected apf the
Conned :

Afterwards the Members of the Society dined
together, as useal, at the Crown mod Auckor Ta-
vern, its the Strand.

An elopement, of rather a novel nature, took
place in the family of a Dowager Lady of dis-
tinction in the neighbourhood of Bedfu►d.squaie.
The cook and butler we►e both absent, when their
fellow-servants aisesnbled in the kitchen ai break-
fast, on Monday morning last. It Is.ing, how-
eve#, well known in the family, that they untended
shortly to unite in the silken band of Hymen, no
eatraurdissarydegree of surprise was felt or es Fussed
at their absence; it being imagined they were
gone to the parish church, for the purpose of
stealing a match. Nut returning in time, how-
ever, to make the usual p:edarations for that
cessary article, dinner, it ass thought necess.►iy
to inform the Lady of the mansion of their al.-
scnee ; who, on enquiry, soon discovered, that
besides the loss of the pair of turtles, she had
other causes of regret ; several articles of plate,
and a quantity of table.linen, which were tinder
the care of the butler, fusing also disappeared.
Charlet Stetter, who, in a considerable degree,
excited the public attention at the late Assiz sat
Oxford, by preferring a charge against a respec-
table Member of that University, of whirl► hat
Member was most honourably acquitted, was tried
at the last Old Bailey Ses.ions o;► a charge of rub.
bing his master, Mr. Leos, Bookseller, in Soliu
Square, when he was fuuliti guilty, and scutesica:d
to two years imprisonumit.
