From Gibraltar.

Arrived yesterday, schooner Industry,
Capt Harris, 81 days from Gibraltar
Captain H. has furnished US with Gibraltar
papers to the 21st July but they afford no
political news of any novelty. The accounts
from Spain and Portugal, make nc mention
Of the reported battle between the French
and Portuguese they however confirm our
previous accounts Of the unhealthy condi-
ton Of the French army in Spain Of the
continued and successful incursions OF the
Spanish peasantry, and of the increasing ha-
tired which is manifested against the Preach
in every quarter. A Spanish gentleman,
arrived at Gibraltar, from tie environs of
Seville, states, that the French were attack
dnear Seville, from the 1st 10 the 9th July,
ythe divisions OF BIllestcros and Caoon,
with great success that great numbers Of
dead and wounded were secn carrying into
Seville, and taa. when he CAME away, the
ire OF cannon aud musquetry was still con-
unued. The paper also states that King
Joseph had returned to Madrid, and had
dismissed from his life guards all the Spa
n'a'ds VINO had been employed abou! his
prison.

Of the Cavalry Uniform--fhis is to give
notice, that no alteration is, or ever was,
intended, 10 what relates to the members OF
the former Troop. The change was meant
to suit the plan Of incorporating country
members, and to be adopted by Others only
at their own discretion.
Those gentlemen who belonged to the
former Troop are most earnestly requested
to inform the Officers whether they intend
doing duty in the present establishment, as

Gen. Massena was lately very nearly
made prisoner by the Portuguese peasantry.
Ee was proceeding from Guadaaxara to-
wards Ciudad Rodrigo, where several OF
his attendants, his papers and his whole
baggage were inte rcepted; and he was IN
debtcd for his own preservation TO the
swftness of his horse.
DIED, on the 23c instant, at bedford, III
the state of Pennsylvania, on his way from
the springs, Colonel LEvEN POWELL, of
Loudoun county, in the Esd year Of his
age. In the death Of this excellent man, his
family have sustained loss not to be re-
paired, and the public are deprived Of a Va,
luabIe and usetu. citizen.
During our revolutionary struggle for IN
dependence, he was an active and jealous
supporter of his country's rights, both in
her councils, and in the field. He person.
ally assisted in the establishment Of that go
:. ment, which first gave us stability at
home aud responsibility III the eyes of TO-
reign nations. And he afterwards filled
with the greatest honor to himself, various
important stations OF trust and responsible
~. bestowed upon him, by lis grateful
coun,rymen, as testimony Of the esteem
thew entertained for his patriotism & worth.
As he advanced in years, feeling the
pressure ofencreasing inErmites which rem
t,ered him unable TO continue longer in his
country's service, he relinquished all public
emnioyments, and retired to the calm walks
of private life, in the bosom Of his family,
where, pursuing the " even tenor OF his
wav.'' in the discharge Of every domestic
and social duty, he lived the life Of strict
integrity and exemplary virtue.
If pious resignation, under some Of the
most trying dispcnsations Of Providence, If
undertaking mora! rec!itude, Intrinsic bene-
violence, and worth of character, associated
with high sense Of refinement and accom-
p,ishment Of manners, Claim our approba-
ton. we may we'll conclude that he has left
but few, if any, more truly amiablc I'VE
know of none, in the wide circle OF our &C
quaintance.
In thus speaking of this truly good man,
we speak not the language OF panegyric, TOO
often resorted to on these occasions; but
we speak the feelings ofthe heart and the
language of truth and friendship, iounded
upon the unerring test ofa long and intimate
acquaintance.
