Duke 9f1ork we find from the London Da-
pers that charges OF a serious nature have been
brought against His Royal Highnes,, the DUKE
or York, and that an examination is now going
on IN the House ofC ommons. 1t is impractica-
Die to give here even outline Of the evidence
produced The Courier of February 18th is al
most entirely occupied with the detail no less
than eleven columns. The accuseris Mr. VIZ
die, member of the House, and the principal
witness Mrs. Clark, married moman living
in state OF separation from her husband
Tins Mrs Clark has charged the Duke before
the House OF Commons, with having appointed
and promoted officers in the army from corrupt
views. The defence is that the whole is an infa-
nous consp racy to extort money.
i he AFFAIR is sad to lie almost the exclusive
subject or conversation in London. Parties are
aircady formed, the one violently insisting on the
guilt, the either the innocence of the Duke. and

LONDON. Dec e8.

LONDON. Dec. %.
At length intelligence has arrived from
Spain, and we rejoice 10 say, that IT IS OF 4
favorable nature. The Dresses is arrived
at Falmouth IN eleven day from Corunna.
The dispatches received by government
from Corunna are to the 14td December
and from sir John Moore of the 8,n. Ii
was known at Corunpa, that the French
were in possession of the Escurial, but it
was believed in Galica and As.u.ias, that
they had been repulsed from Madrid with
great slaughter.
Sir John Moore has pushed corps
to Zamora, and sir David Baird was
OH his march to join him. The uni
led force of the British army would
then be 10000 men-The marquis de
Romana's army at Leon, exceed 20,
600, and is daily increasing. The
Spaniards, so FAR from being distress
ed, are full of spirits, and as deter
mined as ever to persevere in their Just
and glorious cause.
The dispatches from sir John
Moore stated that tie latest iateIli-
gence he had received was that Ma
drid held out.-What the date of that
Intelligence is, we have not heard.
Sir David Baird, ne adds, was ad-
van cling towards a junction with him.
We know not how to reconcile the
above intelligence with the statement
in the last Paris papers received OF the
1 4 h inst.
Sir John Moore's account that the
city still held out, would shew that the
French were 'iesieging it-Yet acsor-
ding to the French papers it made no
resistance--and capitulated as the e.
reny appeared before II. Salamanca
is not more than 100 miles from Ma
drid and later intelligence than the
4th might have reached Salamanca on
che 9Th.
The account does not mention that
Madrid was in a state of siege-but
tina, the enemy had been rcpulsed
from it, and had marched to the Es-
curial, in order TO place themselves
between Madrid and our army, which
might be advancing by that road &c
the assistance of the capitol.

Of SPAIN Fhc news is brought
DOWN TOP the 4,h Of January. Bonaparle
had entered Madrid on the eth Of Decem'
Der. Bill ,oa had been taken and the "Do.
bic Engl 'sh" il is supposed would be es-
corte6 10 France as Bonaparte had issued
| proclay nation to prohibit the Spaniards
lrom add ng their escape. The Supreme
Juuta hetl stipulated for their cwn saliva
ton, by agreeing to sacrifice the English
| armies, whom they had consented to
give up Il hostages for the completion of
,heir conl ract. II is therefore probable
that no part Of Moore's army can get on
board the English shipping. English
goods to great amount had been seized
and cc,n6scaied. Junot was marching to
L'sbcr. at the head of great army.
The L'Etoile was chased in here. by
TWO English frigates. The English had
attacked Martinique with $4,000 men !;
but were twice repulsed. In one battle
they lost 1000 troops. They we're ne
verthe!es', in hopes of reducing the island
as they have effected landing; and were
greatly assisted by their ships which
blockaded ii very closely. They had lost
~ aud Il brig, which were driven on
shore under the French batteries. If
Martinique falls, Guadaloupe is thought,
will be Immediately attacked.

The peculiar advantages attached to this Es-
tate are many and important there are 4
Lots, extending 100 feet by 30 the Building
is so by 80 feet; two stories high; is an ex-
cellent frame and in good repair. The build
ing is occupied as Grocery Store, Dwelling
House, and Tailor's Shop and is indisputa-
bly one of the best stands for business In Nesr-
hort. This Building is remote from any 9TH
er, and there cannot be any other one erected
near it which, in a wooden town, like this,
is an important consideration. For small
sum of money, there may be built one Of the
most convenient Lumber Yards, extending
from the Street South, over the water, that
there is in this place. In fact, the estate is
capable of very great improvement; and. con-
sidering the increase of business on the point,
especially on the Long Hharf within very
few years, and the more than probability of its
becoming, very shortly, what it formerly was,
the Seat Of Business owing to the good con-
dition of the Stores, 'yVharves, and depth Of
