THE STAMMAN.

13arbadoes-Journals to the 7th ultimo have &Mr..
ed :—they do not convey much intelligence, but the
private accounts state, that very great embarrass-,
merits prevail in that quarter. A curious circum-
stance is metitioued relative to the interference of the
Governor of Berbice, the Liou. R. GORDON, to
suppress the Resolutions adopted at a Meeting of the
Planters of that 'Colony ; which Resoladons were
intended to be presented in the form of an Address
to the RixiceT.—The Governor would not allow
the Resolutions to apiwar in the Newspapers of
the Colony, and in consequence of his interference
a very curious correspondence took place be.
tween the Governor, the Chairman of the Meeting,
and the Mover and Seconder of the Resolutions.—
The followihvintelligence is from Mr. Iticiu an
Coca, Agent to Lloyd's at Barbadoes :—The Robert
Brace, from Surinam for Loudon, sprung a leak,
and bore away for Grenada' with four feet water in
the hold.—The American schooner, Washington, of
Philadelphia, was cut out of. the Isle of May by. the
Mate and crew, and scuttled off St. Lucia; the
Mate antkelwfin
were landed a( St. Lucia and coned;

The three first weeks of this month were in gene-
ral exceedingly dry; the dews, however, were un-
commonly heavy; and-from that period .to the 31st,
the weather was rainy throughout the island. The
sugar which has been made is in most instances of
superior quality, and the island, in all probability)
%, ill make a good crop. The fermentatioes hi the.
distilleries have commenced very favourably. The
Guinea corn crop has greatly improved.

Yesterday a telegraphic dispatch was received at
the Admiralty, announcing the arrival of the Maid-
stone frigate, with intelligence from Spain; but no-
thing had transpired as to its nature whey our paper
went to press. Private letters, by the Mail of Sa-
turday, mention, that Earl WELLINGTON, imme-
diately after the reduction of Badajos, proceeded,
with two divisions of his army, into the interior of
Spain, iu quest of SOULT. It it stated that 20;000
men wer' employed in the assault, from midnight till.'
seven in the morning. The Fusileers behaved most no-
lily.
" They attempted," says a private letter, " to
carry the place by a preach made in the wall, opposite
where we were last year, in the most dashing manner,
and each time they were repulsed, returned to the
charge with fury. The French had made a very 1
strong work inside the breach, and a. cheraux de
frise of swords, Sa. whk,lt the devil himself could I
not penetrate ; and these arable fellows, each time
they were repelied, forced themselves--back again,.
and, in a desperate manner were going np to the
fatal breach, when an tulles arrived from Lord IV.
for them to stop. Their loss is immense; the 23d,

killed and wounded, out of about twenty-four."—
