The Patriots had received per fect intelligence of the position of the French in the mountains, from the striuglers, who are commonly known by the name of Banditti, and who, from their way of life, are intimately ac quainted with every accessible defile of the moun'hins of , the . Sierra Morena. Instructed by them, who acted faithfully as guides, the Patriots attacked the French with great advantage , and the account at Gijon was precisely the same as at Corunna; viz, that the French u ere totally routed and dispersed—that Mont had, in consequence of it, left Madrid for the adjacent heights—that the Spanish troops whom be had at first secured at Madrid, were deserting in crowds--and that the armies of the Patriots were daily increasing. The only things they want arc what we can supply eloaths, arms, and am untuition. Men they do not want, bat wish that we may em ploy our diltosable force rather as a diversion, than on the ter ritory of Spain. The Dispatches from Sir H. Dalrymple state, that the South ern Provinces of Spain have caught the flame of the North, and that the army before Gibraltar, reinfarced by the greater part of the garrison of Ceuta, had declared for their country. The ili.nop of St. Ander.), has distinguished himself at the head I of the patriotic army of the Asturias. lie is said to have fought several battles, and to have had success in more than one instance. Several Irish Gentlemen resident in Spain have joined the pa triotic army. Colonel Blake has got a high command in that of The Valencans, who are a gay lively people, are said to have acut a letter to Murat, desiring hiut to provide them 30,000 beds at Madrid by a i►articular night. Of the Marquis of Socorro, who was also known by the name of General Solent), and sho was not only Governer of Cadiz, but of the whole province of Andalusia, having perished by the hand of popular •engeance before the transactions we have sieserihed occurred, no doubt is entertained. The immediate causes of his death are thus related .—" When all communica tion cease: het w een Admiral Purvis and the Governor, a Bando (or Proclamation) was issued, forbidding all intercourse between the inhabitants of Cadiz and the British fleet, on pain of death. In defiance, however, of this Proclamation, the intercourse con tinued, and two Merchants of Cadiz were apprehended, and ordered by Socorro to lie executed, and the sentence was carried into elect. The people instantly called fur vengeance. They pursued Sor•:rro to the house of I)on Pilzana, at Chiciana, a • village about three leagues from Cadiz, surrounded the house, awl demanded the person of Soviet°. The Marquis appeared, was instantly seized, anti in a few minutes was literally cut to pieces. Ills heart was exhiitited as that of an infamous traitor to his country." On the 30th Don Morlay was appointed Commander of Cadiz. Be immediately issued a most vigorous Proclamation, exciting the soldiers and people of Cadiz to rise in defence of their Sove reign, against the tyranny and oppression of the French. From that thy to the 6th of June negociations were carried on with Admiral Purvis and General Spencer. Two Deputies were scut oil to the Admiral, who immediately sent Captain Sir J. Gore, and Colonel Sir George Sniith, into Cadiz, w here they sser•e received with the utmost respect andeiv Hit) by the Anthori ties, and with the greatest enthusiasm by the people. Negociations were then set on boat, for a joint co-operation between the force in Cadiz and the gritish fleet against the French squadron ; and, oa the ath, the Articles which uur Commanders had agreed up on were sent to he approved by the General Junta of the Pro vita! of Andalusia, at Saville. Before Lieut. Talbot left the Fieet on the lth,the Spanish pilots had come out to conduct our Fleet into the harbour ; and un time SO, he heard a great can nonade on the side of Cadiz. _ _ . Count Florida Blanca, formerly Minister for Foreign A ffair, at ; ti years of age, is at the bend of the Patriots in Murcia. He is one of the ablest men in Spain. Don Cerbeliun commands the Patriots in Valencia. The accounts from Madrid state, that the foreign soldiers it the French army are in a state of mutiny against the French, and that the desertions to the Spaniards are numerous. The deser tion of 1200 at 'lmam.; confirmed. 1t appears that the Pa triots have arms, ammunition, and mom) rootlet' to last for some time. There has been an advance made by the merchants of Gibraltar, to assist Licaural Castauo's army to'a consider able *mow. : TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER. THE COURT AND WORLD OF FASHION. Wednesday, at two o'clock, his Majesty held a Private Levee at the Queen's Palace. After which his Majr•ty held a Privy Council, and gave audiences to the Cabinet Ministers. The public will shudder to hear that some monster, in the shape of a human being, has bad the audacity to fire a gun or pistol across the horses in the carriage of the amiable and inao cent Princess Charlotte of Vales. It would be diffiult to de vise the motives of the perpetrator. A very serious investiga tion of the fact took place on Friday. Vve lament to say that no discovery has yet been made; we trust that no effort will be left untried to discover the miscreant. The modest diffidence lately shew n in St. Stephen's Chapel, re specting who gave orders for the expendliure in reforming the outside of that sacred fane, reminds us of Macbeth aint Boo quo's Ghost; " Shake not thy gory locks at me, thou can'st not say, I did it."

On one occasion, soliciting an elector of opposite principles to himself fur his vote, the Gentleman, certainly with more candour than politeness, instantly and bluntly declared, he would sooner give him an halter—that, my dear sir, said v, I would not deprive ou of, as I have no doubt it is a family piece. • FAsil lON> FOR.

From the arrangements of the soason, the half dress is nearly as rich in lace and ornament, ns the full dress of the winter evenings. This naturally arises from the fashionable w odd being now on the %%leg for the different watering places, and other usual summer resorts, si here the bustle of walking; and s tiling partii s, and all the enjouernonti of the Stevne, the Pan tiles, or the Marine Parade, lease little time to the eligarate to nary her embellishments in her r:tpid transitions from the social d•nner-party to the library, from thence to t:te evening ramble, until she concludes the amusements of the day, wingl:ng in tile mazes of the dance, or yielding all her soul to harmony iu the concert room.
