May 5, 1810, j r THE ORIGINAL V UNION FIRE-OFFICE, CO R N HI L L, ESTABLISHED NEARLY ONE HUNDRED YEARS. WILLIAM MOSS, IRONMONGER, AGENT FOR CARMARTHEN. THE beneficial effects of Insurance against loss -*L by Fire, are no less obvious and important, than the consequences of neglecting to insure are ruinous aid dread- ful.—Life, Property, every enjoyment of the present mo- ment, and all the prospects of the future, are frequently in- volved in the issue of a casual conflagration he«ce it be-, comes the duty and the policy of individuals to guard them- selves against such events, by means the most effectual and economical. Among the maoyullstltutlons that have been formed to provide for the Security of the Public IIn such occasions, THE UNION FIRE-OFFICE, ranks among the most respectable and iberal.-Ts Office has always paid Lossesor damages by Fire, from Lightning; and lam now authorized to inform the Farmers and Public, that the Premium on the Stock of Corn and Hay, being the produce of a Farm also Cattle and Implements of Husban- dry thereon, will be rated at Two Shillings per Cent, and all persons insured in this Office, are requested to refer to their Policies, in order that they may receive the benefit of this reduction of the Premium on Farming Stock in their respect- ive renewals; and that printed receipts are ready for deli- very, for the premiums and duty on Policies, as they become due} and that printed proposal's of the terms of insurance, may be had of me, which will be found as moderate in every respect as those of other Offices. 0:3, Farming Stock may be insured, generally, in all Barns and Out-houses, or on a Farm, without the average clause. Persons desirous of increasing the amount of their Assurances, in consequence of the increased price of build, ing materials, are informed, that no additional expence of Policies is incurred at this office.-policies insuring Three Hundred Pounds, the aunual amount of which is only 6s. are issued free of expence and all payments foF losses by Fire, are made by this Office without deduction. N. B. In behalf of this Society, I beg leave to return my sincere thanks to the Insurers at this Office, for their favours to me since my Agency at Carmarthen; and also beg to in- form those who have dropped their insurance (and others who may entertain the same opinion) in consequence of their supposition, which is grounded in weakness and error, that Oliice take the remaining property, after a fire to assist them in paying the loss; that this Office pays all losses or damages, proved to be done by fire, provided the amount does not exceed the Sum insured, without any claim or pre- tence to the remaining property that may be saved; and al- so pays in addition to the amount lost, all reasonable charges attending the removal of goods in time of danger; and also insurers in this Office (excepting only insurers for seven years, who are Proprietors in the concern) aie not liable to be called upon to make good losses, as the whole property of the Society is liable to pay or make good any loss by fire, which may happen to them. As to Septennial Insurers, they are Partners in the concern, and receive their share of the profits, which have been divided among them to the amount of at least 300,0)01. and consequently they and they only are liable to make good any losses which may hnppen-to themselves or the insurers for less than Seven Years, as the last run no rish of loiq, and receive no shara of profit. *+* Proposals for Septennial or Annual and short period insurances, with any further information which may be re- quired for the explaining this mode of insurance, may be had of the Agent WM.

LONDON. THURSDA Y, MAYV. THE Chancellor of the Exchequer opened the J Budget last night, and, contrary to general expec- tation and report, there are to be no new Taxes, nor any increase of the old oiles. The Interest of the Loan and of the Exchequer Bills funded this year amounts to 970,8331. This charge is to be defrayed out of the excess of the consolidated Stamp Duties, amounting to 1,236,0001. In the year 1808, several regulations were made in that branch of the Revenue, and an Act was passed for conso- lidating the Duties on Stamps.—These regulations have produced this excess in the receipt beyond the receipt of last year. The interest of the Loan, therefore, will be defrayed without imposing any- fresh burthens upon the people, a circumstance upon which we most heartily congratulate the country. The following letter contains the details of the capture of Astorga, which made a gallant defence against an immense superiority of force. (t CORUNNA, MAY 4. On the 22d April, Junot began the attack of Astorga, and continued it on the 23d; the 24th he made a covered way on the side of the Bishop's Gate, situated on a part, of the wall which was weak. At break of day he began to play upon it, and made a breach seven yards wide, as if it had been cut with a knife. Three times they renewed the assault at this opening, on which the gallant Governor Santolices ordered an obus to be planted there, which swept down the ranks of the enemy, but at last this brave Officer having no more ball, and seeing Junot determined to obtain possession of the city, he reluctantly surrendered it, and on Easter Tuesday, Gen. Junot entered the place at the head of two bodies of artillery and some cavalry. He was met by the noble and generous Santolices, who presented his sword to the Frenchman, which Junot desired him to retain, telling him that he knew well how to employ it, and that he might y keep his Government if he would exercise his au- thority in the name of the Emperor Napoleon. To this offer he replied, that he was a Spaniard, and that he should acknowledge no Sovereign but Fer- dinand VII. After this reply, he was ordered, with the other prisoners, to be conducted to Valla- dolid. The killed on the part of the enemy amount to 3500 men, and on our side we had only compa- ratively a small number killedj and one thousand prisoners."

r, R IDd Y, MAY 18. Yesterday a Deputation of Merchants, and others, waited on the Lords of the Trade, when the latter intimated their intentions as to the granting of Licences for shipping bound to the range of coast between the Emms and Boulogne, and between Dieppe and Nantz. They are to be granted to continue till the 10th of November next. On the exportation of Cotton and Tin, the determination of their Lordships is to be received on Monday next. The Board has granted some indulgences in re- gard to certain ports of Spain under French admi- nistration. In the range of harbours from Gijon to St. Sebastian, it is allowed that neutral ships, laden with Spanish produce, may take their departure without molestation. It is mentioned in several of the German papers, that the arrears of contribution imposed on the House of Austria, amounting to 25 millions of florins, has been remitted, and the Neue Zeitung contains the following singular anecdote on the subject Before the Empress Louisa entered the French frontiers, the Emperor sent her a plain gold snuff-box. Surprised at this present, so different from the earlier ones she received, which were always more brilliant and valuable, she opened it, and found an imperial receipt in full for the 25 millions of arrears of Austrian contribution-mo- ney, with a letter in his own hand-writing.— The Empress accepted the present with tears of gratitude, and forwarded it by a courier to Vienna, with the following note On the Frontiers of France, All-ruling Providence also blestes the Emperor my father and his faithful people. My tears fall on this paper -but they are the pledges of mvlove and fidelity. LOUISE." .It is stated in a German paper that the campaign between the Russians and Turks, has been opened by some skirmishing, and that the army of each power was estimated at 150,000 men. Gen Blake has arrived at Cadiz, and taken the chief command of the troops at that place, Gen. Castanos having the great duties of the Govern- ment to attend to. General Cuesta is appointed Governor-General of the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Minorca, &c.) the future expected refuge of the Spanish Government. This appointment is said by some to be recom- mended by the Council of Castile, and by a certain party at Cadiz. Dispatches from Lord Wellington, dated the 8th inst. have been received; his Lordship's head- quarters were then at Almeida. The allied British and Portuguese army, under the command of Lord Wellington, consists of near 60,000 men, of whom 23,000 are British. While on the other hand, the augmented force of the enemy under Marshal Ney, is estimated at net lessthal). tuat of his Loidjihip. SATURDAY, MAY 19.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 23.
Letters have been received from New York to the 31st of March. Contrary to what has been stated, nothing had been done with regard to Mr. Macon's Bill; the Non-Intercourse Act had not been suspended, nor was that or any other com- mercial or political measure of importance likely to be adopted, until the return of the John Adams, so that we cannot expect to hear any thing decisive, from the United States, for two months. Accounts have been received by an American vessel from Canton, that two British men of war lately fell iu with and captured, or destroyed, a small squadron from Batavia, on the coast of Bor- neo, where they are said to have committed great excesses, in consequence of the quarrel with the Rajah of Saoloo. Through the above; channel we also learn, that the Dutch Government at Batavi:- continue on the worst terms with the natives 0 the interior. In a late attempt to surprise: th Maturams, they were completely foiled, their ttooI driven back, and the communication between t! capital and the interior, whence they usually rived supplies of cattle, entirely cut off. In th situation, their distress was heightened by a ledge of the disaffection which prevailed in tl garrison. The following is an extract of a letter fro; Cadiz:— CADIZ, APRIL 22.—The French are verj^ bi sily employed in erecting numerous batteries front of our advances here; and I have no dou) they will succeed in driving us from thence wi considerable loss, when their fortifications are con plete. Still I continue to think they will not g further. I imagine we will soon be obliged move our ground, or be shelled from a battery the have nearly completed, and which will reach ov our encampment. We are hard-worked, well-fee. and, consequently, continue healthy. H I am afraid the French are in possession < much valuable in formation regardin g our advances &c. as all our killed were left in Matagorda, i}11( Lefebure's pocket contains all his memorandums, and a valuable journal of his observations since here; his loss is a lamentable one indeed, for us," The Committee appointed to search for prece- dents in the case of Sir Francis Burdett, in their second report declare that the cases to which they had referred, and selected, proved beyond all doub* that Parliament had not exceeded the limits of its privileges. Such being the opinion of the Conir mittee, it would be considered presumption for us to say otherwise. But this we do say, and we shall always say, that the sooner that privilege is re- scinded which gives to the House of Commons the power of imprisoning for libels without trial, ex- cept in certain cases, such as those of witnesses called before the House in its judicial or inquisitt rial capacity, or of gross libels tending tointiï.1, date Ministers pending the consideration of a mea- sure, the sooner we repeat, such privilege is re- scinded the better.-Courier.

MONDAY, MAY 21. The Gazette of Saturday evening contains an account of the capture of a French pavateer, by his Majesty's sloop Orestes, commanJpsl.'by Capt. Lapenotiere. v The Lively, Capt. M'Kinley, is arrivel.' mouth, from Cadiz to which place she carried "Sir C. Cotton, who arrived there on the 3d. On the same day Sir Charles sailed in the San Josef, with the Nautilus and Minstrel, to take the command of the fleet off Toulon. The Asia and AIgesiras, Spanish line-of-battle ships, arrived from Vera Cruz on the 2d, with six millions of dollars, and valuable car- goes. The Spanish fleet at Cadiz, in the outer har- bour, consistsoftwëye sail of the line. On the night of the Spaniards made a very spi- rited sortie on a battery which the French had thrown up near the Spanish out-posts, at Isla. They succeeded in destroying the fort, and driving the French back. The Spaniards had three men killed and twenty wounded. Our officers speak of the attack in the highest terms of praise. High mass was performed at Cadiz on the 2d, to com- memorate the entrance of the French into Madrid, and the horrid massacre of the inhabitants that then took place. The church was hung with black. The Bishop of Toledo, Castanos, Sir Charles Cotton, General Graham, Admiral Pickmore, and all the Officers of the fleet attended. The French had not opened their batteries froll Matagorda, when the Lively sailed. They were erecting mortar batte- ries along the coast, with the intention, it is sup- posed, of opening upon the shipping. Gen. Blake was training the Spanish troops at ilia: The Spa- nish people evince a rooted hatred to the French; the mountaineers harrass them at every point. All the Couriers from Madrid, to the neighbourhood of Cadiz, are obliged to be escorted by 700 men. The Resistance had sailed from Cadiz, with a con- voy of Spanish troops for the defence of Cii-tba- gene: the French were daily expected to male an- attack on it. Two of the Spanish line of battle ships from thence, had arrived at Gibraltar, with the Hibernia and Northumberland; only one ship remained there, which was about to sail tor Malum. The Hibernia and Northumberland are coming home; the former has been ashore twice. J iie Undaunted was to sail on the 5th, with tlu T> of Alberquerque, for England, A(lillira Commands at Cadiz,, with nine sail of the line,
