758 tion to the body, which appeared to be about the thickness of :that of a young lad, and tapering gradually to the point of the tail; that when stroking its head, as above-mentioned, the fingers were kept close together, so that he cannot say whether ;they were webbed or not ; that he saw it for near two hours, `the rock on which it lay being dry; that after the sea had so far retired as to leave the rock dry to the height of five feet above 'the water, it tumbled clumsily into the sea; a minute after he observed the animal above Water, and then he saw every feature of its face, having all the appearance of a human being, with very hollow eyes. The cheeks were of the same colour with the rest of the face ; the neck seemed short; and it was constantly, with both hands, stroking and washing its breast, which was half immersed in the water. He therefore cannot say whether its bosom was formed like a woman's or not . He saw no other fins or feet upon it but as described. It continued above water for a few minutes, and then disappeared. He was informed that some boys in a neighbouring tarm saw a similar creature in the sea, close to the shor e, on the same day.

Few weeks have been more barren of intelligence than the last. Reports have once more filled the place of official news. One of those stated that the French were renewing their exertions in the north of Spain, and that a force of 4000 men, commanded by General BONNET, had occupied the greatest part of Asturias, and was on its march to Gijon:— This rumour, we now find, was founded on letter from the Captain of the Lord Wellington, arrived at' Portsmouth,' of which the following is an extract, in which he says -41 That, owing to a report that General BONNET had entered Asturias at the head of 4000 men, and was marching against ()vied.° and Gijon, he had slipt his cable and sailed without inquiring further into the subject; that the British Con . SUl; Mr. KEL LEY, also took the alarm on the report being spread, and sailed on board Captain TATE's . ship ; but hav ing business of some moment to settle in Llanis, he was landed at that port, when a dreadful storm came on, Which obliged the Captain to Put to sea for safety, without being able to return to' take Mr. KELLEY 011 board, who of -course was left to shift ~.:. ~-~; Sunday Monday ruesday I .•Vednesclay . . . .
