Ferrol. The air about Corunna is infected by the carcasses of 1200 horses, whom the English killed in the streets. The first care of the Duke of Dalmatia has been to provide for the restoration of salubrity, equally important to the soldiers and the inhabitants. General Acevedo, governor of Corunna, appears to have taken part with the insurgents only from the constramt of force. He took the oath of fidelity to King Joseph Napoleon with enthusiasm. The people manifest the joy they feel at being delivered from the English.

Bonaparte has declared Leghorn to be a free port. Florence has been made a kind of staple place, and a free warehouse bas been built there for the reception of merchandize.

A New York paper of the 11th ult. has been received, from which we learn that the bill for enforcing the embargo was eventually agreed to by a majority of more than 2 to 1; Yeas 71, Nays 32.-The returns of the electoral votes for the president and vice-president were completed, as follow:

For the resident.-J. Madison, 113; C. Pinckney, 48; G. Clinton, 6. Vice-president.-G. Clinton, 113; Rufus King, 48; J. Langden, 9; Madison, 3; Munroe, 3:

Of course Messrs. Madison and Clinton were elected to those important offices.

Several American vessels, the owners of which impelled by love of gain have set at defiance the laws of their country and have evaded the embargo. The American ship Travellers, from New York is arrived, from whence she sailed on the 16th ult. with 500 bags of cotton, which were put on board in the short space of a few hours only, and the ship put to sen, before the bonds, required by the embargo act, were executed. Another ship called the Lucy, Captain Ives, is arrived at Strangford in Ireland, from Savannah.

A ship called the Good Voyage, Paoli, bound from Charleston to Cadiz, has also arrived at Liverpool, having received damage.

Four more American embargo-breakers are arrived at Liverpool, Their names, as stated at Lloyd's, are, the Rover, Ambition, Rolla, and Carmelite. They are said to have sailed from New Jersey, but they are in reality from New York, and constitute only a part of the number that effected their escape from that port, and already known to have reached British ports. They are freighted with a considerable quantity of cotton, aud their arrival has had the effect of materially lowering the price of that article, both in the London and Liverpool markets.

DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES,

An expedition, it is reported, is im mediately to set sail from Cork. It consists of six regiments, and is to be under the command of Major-General Beresford. His staff is uncommonly numerous not less than 40 persons.

VOL. V.

Near 30 transports with several thousand troops, said to be part of upwards of 20 different regiments, arrived at Ramsgate on Tuesday. Among them was No. 130, with about 60 wounded soldiers, most of whom had suffered ainputation of a leg or an arin. These poor fellows were evidently ordered there by mistake, or the stress of weather caused them to come to Ramsgate, there being no hospital in that place to receive them.

Don. P. Cevallos, the ambassador from Spain, who landed at Portsmouth on Tuesday, was received with every mark of respect that could be paid to his official character. The commissioners' yacht was sent out to Spithead to bring him on shore; the platform battery guns were manned, and a salute fired; and a guard of the Worcester militia received him at the sally-port, with "God save the King," colours fying, and presented arms. He has a numerous retinue; several ladies and children came on shore with him. The Jate governor of Cadiz (Viros) who succeeded Morla in that high post, is arrived in the Algesiras, with M. Cevallos. As the Algesiras was leaving the harbour of Cadiz, on the 24 inst. the St. Justa, a Spanish man of war from Vera Cruz was entering it, having on board nine millions of dollars, for the use of the patriots. The Algesiras had a very short passage; she left Cadiz on the 3d inst. and got into Torbay on Sunday night, where she lost anchors and cables, and arrived at Portsmouth on the 13th.

All the transports belonging to General Sherbrooke's expedition sent to Spain a few weeks since, but forced back, have arrived safely at Cork, Crookhaven, and other ports in the South of Ireland, with the exception of one vessel only.-The Niobe frigate, one of the convoy, having on board Gen. Sherbrooke and two Colonels, arrived at Cove on the 9th. She left her consort, the Isis, of 50 guns, off Cape Clear, with 10 sail in company, all of which arrived on the following day. The missing ship is the Benjamin,Shawe, but no apprehensions are entertained for her safety, as she was one of the finest and best found vessels in the fleet. -The Niobe, on her way to Cove, fell in with several of the last outwardbound West India convoy, which had

been driven back, and were endeavouring to reach Irish barbours.

The respectful memorials of above four hundred captains of the navy have been received in such a manner as to have.given rise to a very serious correspondence, which is likely to be brought before parliament. Some time since, by a royal proclamation, the proportion of prize-money to a captain from any capture he might make was diminished by one third; and, about the same period, an increase of pay of two shillings per diem was allowed him as an equivalent for the income tax, &c. A memorial, drawn up in most respectful terms, signed by a great number of naval captains, was transmitted through Admiral Montague, the port admiral at Portsmouth, to the admiralty.-The answer was, that an equivalent had been aiready granted. A second memorial was presented through the same medium, to which, it is asserted, the first lord of the admiralty replied, that Admiral Montague was not to suffer himself to be made the channel of such communications. On this the gallant admiral addressed himself to the board, and declared that he considered it as a part of his bounden duty, and from which he should not shrink, to forward to the board the letters and memorials of the brave men under his command, so long as their petitions were couched in loyal and respectful language, and free from every thing that could affect the disciplinc or interrupt the service of the fleet, The result is understood to be, that Admiral Montague has struck his flag.

In the court of King's bench, on the 10th inst. the King . Alex. Davison, Esq. Lord Ellenborough (C. J.) stated to the counsel for the defendant (Mr. Wilson, his second counsel, being then in court), that from the hurry of the business, it was likely that the court could not pass sentence during this term. He said, however, that it would occasion no inconvenience, as the imprisonment during the interval would go to constitute a part of the sentence, a portion of that species of punishment which the court would most probably inflict. It had been thrown out, that the defendant had made compensation, inasmuch as he had relinquished the profits of the contract. He wished to know whether those profits had been ascertained, or could be reducedto any ac

Even

curate estimate?-The attorney-general said, that he had urged that Mr.Davison ought not to retain any portion of the money which had been paid him by the public for services which he had not performed. How much the amount was, had not been ascertained. civilly that ought to be returned before the court could enter into any cousideration of the arguments which had been urged as an appeal for mercy.Lord Ellenborough then said, that between this and the next term, the defendant would have an opportunity of making that atonement.

Mrs. Clarke appears to be between 35 and 40 years of age; casy in her carriage; with an air of vivacity and archness in her countenance; and free from all embarrassment in her manners. She went in her own chariot to the house of commons, and was elegantly dressed in a light blue silk pelisse edged with fur, a lace veil, and swansdown

muff. She is under the middle size, and has no great pretensions to beauty, but possesses much animation. She is said in some accounts to be the daugh ter of a journeyman printer named Farquhar, and in another her maiden name is said to have been Thomson. About 18 years ago, (at the age of 15) she was seduced by, and afterwards cloped with Joseph Clarke, second son of a respectable builder on Snow-hill, then apprentice to a stonemason in Cursitor-street, with whom she lived some years in apparent propriety, and bad several children: but receiving from him the most cruel injuries, she left him, and soon after commenced that which has brought her career so immediately before the public.-Her husband is still living, a wanderer about the town, on a weekly pittance bequeathed by his father. He has two brothers living, one a clergyman, and the other a surveyor.

Should this favor'd nation
Oppose reformation,

Which so lately “NO POPERY” cried?
Should free Britons thus fight

To extinguish that light

Which must shine o'er the universe [wide?

Fye Britons! fye on ye!

To let wicked BONEY

Perform so much protestant's work;
Whilst ye drew the sword,

Altho' warn'd by God's word,* And leagued with the POPE and the [TURK!

Lo! in vain do ye fast,
For Gon's terrible blast †
Will sweep all delusions away;
And soon shall opinion,
In each king's dominion,
Be free as the light of the day!
