"0. POLICE. SOW-STREET.—ON Thursday Thomas Dally, a watchman belonging to the parish of St. 4 Mary-Ie-Strand, was brought to tii coffice, charged with concerned, "with another man, not yet taken, in robbing Carolina Wil- cox, wife of John Witcox, oatswain's mate 'of his Majesty's brig He; Banknotes of 201. and lof. each, to the amount of about 200i. and 61. in nine valuablegowus, and other women's wearing appall. The prosecutrix's husband was some years since a steward on board the Columbus, in the West India trade, till altout tive years since, when he was pressed on board one of his Ma- jesty's ships; from which he was removed to the Rolla, on board of which be was promoted to he a gunner, in which situation he remain- ed about a year and half, when he was remo- ved to the Beagle, and was promoted to he boatswain's mate. He then sent for his wife, and she sailed with him to the Baltic. On their return they joined the expedition to Flushing, and while on hoard, the Prosecu- trix nursed the Captain's (Newcomb's) wife during her confinement in child-birth. About ¡ two months ago they returned to dock, at Sheerness, for the vessel to be repaired. I On Tuesday week, they went to the Downs, where they were paid off; her husband re- ceived three years pay and some prize-money, which he gave her, in cousequeuce of his being ordered to sea again, and desired her to return home 110 Ireland to her mother, who has the care of their two children. The money he gave hertoether with the sum she received as a present from Captain Newsomb, made up the above. Early on Saturday morning she left Deal by the stage, and arrived in the evening at the Golden Cross, Charing-cross. She not knowing any person in Kngiaud, took her place in the Liverpool coach, to proceed the following morning to Ireland. Sise slept at (be Inn, and was called, in the morning at lour o'clock, the coach starting at live. She got up when she was called, and was waiting for the coach under the gateway in St. Mar- tiu's-lane the osller went to her, and told her, the coach was nearly ready, aull to follow liiiu she did so a few yards, but it being dark, lost sight of him, when the Prisoner aud another mall accosted her, and said they wer^ going by the coach she was, and as ti e coach would stop at three places before it got off the shuies, which was VcYv disagreeable, advised her lo walk on witfc them, till they got to Hie last place, winch she was silly enough to agree to. They tet off, anù as she supposed, along the Strand; the contrary road she goes. It has since been ascertained they went up Drury-tai.e, and stopped at the Black- Boy public house; the Prisoner and his com. pauioii had tlireeWaIf-pints of gin the Prose- cutrix would not take any liquor, but got some milk of a woman at the door. After the Prisoner and his company had drank their gin, they conducted her to the Cock public-house, in Dyot-street,TSt. Giles's, which theyj told her was the last, place the coach called at; and they asked lici- to treat tIleAll With some liqljol., she agreed to. She put her bundle on the bar, in expectation of the coach coming up. The Prisoners companion took her bun- dle on his back, she supposing he v?as taking it to the coach. In a few minuites alter, the Prisoner told her the other man had run away with her bnndle; this very much alarmed her. The Prisoner said he would run after him, and bring him back; he then run out of the house, but never rclnrncd. III til is for- lorn state, the Proseculrix was left in one of the most shocking and dangerous neighbour- hoods in London, without knowiHg where she was, or a single person in England, and rob. bed of the whole of her property this brought her into such a distracted state.of mind, that she took a penknife from her pocket, and cut her throat. However, a surgeon was procu- red, and it was discovered that the knife had not penetrated deep enough toendangerher iife. The wound was sewed up, and she is in a fair way of doing well. She said, in justification of her rash act, that she plight as well lose her life as hcr money and cloathes. In this forlorn state, an honest sailor took compas- sion upon her, and took her to his apartments, where she fared as he and his wife did during Sunday, and they made up a bed for her. On Monday honest Jack went with her to several pawnbrokers, to inquire after her cloathes, which had been-stolen; the wife of the sailor requested her not to speak, as they were in such a bad neighbourhood, their life would be in danger, and should not wonder at the house being set on fire. After the sai. lor had made many fruitless inquiries, he con- ducted her to the above office, where Tread- way, traced the constable belonging to St. Giles's, undertook to investigate the business for her, and took her under his protection, and procured her a habitation. Treadway traced out the two public houses where they stopt at, and learned, at the Cock public house, in Dyot-street, that one of the men's name was Daly, and that he was a watchman, but did not know the parish he belonged to; the other man who was with him they only knew by sight. Treadway inquired at several parishes, and at length discovered liiiu to belong to St. Mary-le-Strand, and apprehen- ded him on Monday night, on his beat, in Fountain-court. On Thursday the Prisoner underwent an examination, when he acknowledged being one of the men who was with the Prosecutrix hpltuA?J?j§4,!MlP5*in2 .wlu> the other was, oi wlieie he was to. he fouud tic was com aulted tor further examination.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, NOV. 27. Foreign OJJice. Nov. 27. A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was this day received by Iiarl Barhurst, his Ma. jesty's Principal Secretary of State for foreign affairs, from Colonel Carrol, dated Army of the Left, Head Quarters, Salamanca, Oct. 20. SIR,—I have the honour to acquaint you, that on instant, the Duke del Parque moved I forward with his army from Tamanies to Carras- cal del Obispo, and having pushed on a column towards Matilla and Jejo, (as if with an intention of iipproaching Salamanca, by Munigncla,J pro- ceeded to his left: by a rapid lateral movement towards Medesma, where we crossed the Tonnes on the Sd. Oh the 24th we arrived at Amanara, and on the morning of yesterday (the 25th) reached the heights which command Salamanca to the Northward, where the patriots had the mortification to learn that the enemy, having had intimation of our approach, evacuated the town the preceding night, retreating precipitately to Torn,taking with them a quantity of church plate and other articles of plunder. The entrance ofotir army into thi s to wn yester- day, presented a most gratifying spectacle. The different brigades suèeessively forming in the spa- cious aoel beauti fIJI square, proclaimed witlrloud" aud reiterated vivas, their beloved Fernando, whilst the hands of the different corps played several popular and patriotic airs: nor did the zeal of the patriots suffer them to omit the tri- bute-of their gratitude to tl'ir sincere and "firm ally and God save King George and Fernando, were alternately repeated during the entire of the day. Amidst the universal joy which pervaded our ranks, a small portion of regret was discernible, I occasioned by the escape of she enemy, which the soldiers had already ^considered as their captives. The advance of our column by Matilla, induced i the enemy to suppose that we should have ap- I proached Salamanca by Muniguela, and conse- quently drew their attention to that quarter, which presented them many favourable positions, and from whence the passage of the Tonnes is difficult. So judicious, rapid, and masked Tras our march by Ledesma, that, the enemy wits totally-ignorant of our real point of attack, until our arrival at Almanara, a village about three leagues from hence. it is a well ascertained fact, that the first inti- mation General Marci;and had of our approach from Lcdeamo, reached him at six o'clock on the evening of the 24111 i at eight, o'clock his orders for retreat was issued with the utmost secrecy to the of at ten o'clock the intanhy, and at twelve the cavalry, commenced their aiai-el) and so great was their of pursuit, that ihey did Hot halt until the reacli- ed Toro.. I he enemy's loss, ia killed and prisoners. at the battle of Tamames, exceeds 1200; and from every information we can collect, from the best aulliorities here, their wounded amounts to 2000, of which nnmber a great proportion are Officers; one General, one Colonel, several su- baltern Officers, and 75 privates, (lied of their wounds on the night of their retreat from Ta- mames, I Humiliations will take place here this nigbt: and tomorrow a solemn Te Deum will be celebra- ted in thanksgiving for the signal victorygailled at rramamcs over the enemies of liberty and religiou. The victory of Tanaames, and our entrance to Salamanca, will uo douht prove highly beneficial to our cause. This army (which will daily in- crease in numbers) now feels a degree of confi- dence in its powers hitherto unknown to it.-I i have the honour to be, &c. WH.liam Parker CARROL, Major B. S., Col. Sp.

THE DRUID FRIGATE. EXTRACT 01 A LETTER FROM CORK, NOV. 23. The Druid frigate, Captain Sir Wifliam Bolton, has captured and brought into this port a very large French brig of war. The circumstances which attended this capture are too unfortunate to render the event, advan. tageous as it is to our trade, a suhject of gratification. They are summarily II)ese In the course of her cruise ihe Druid fell in with three utrange vessels at night, and at a considerable distance from the coast When they were first observed, it was a per feet calm pud therefore ail the advantages which the frigate possessed were useless. Un- able to close those vessels with his ship, Sir William had three boats manned for the pur- pose of reconnoitring; and they were dis- patched upon that service with some admo- nition, that if they were ascertained to be enemy's ships of war, no risk should be in- curred in approaching them. The first Lieu- tenant ol the Druid, Mr. Wafkihs, command- ed this little detachment, and led it. with his boat. Mr. Andrews, the second Lieutenant was in the next boat; and we do not precisely know what officer had charge of" the third". Wth ilw zeal ,wd spirit which distinguish all our naval operations, those gallant officers proceeded upon Ihe duty assigned them .• but unmindful of the prudence which had been recollllllended, j he headmost boat, had scarce- ly made out the nearest vessel to be all enemy, when it was determined to carry her by board- ing. The attempt was accordingly made with the customary bravery and promptitude of British seamen but the enemy was too strong to be assailed successfully by so small a force, and in a short time every man of the boat's' crew, with the intrepid commander, was oi I her killed or wounded. The wounded, among j whom was Lieut. Watkins, were taken on board the enemv's vessel. The wound of this gallant officer, we regret to state, was mortal, aud he died, after enduring the amputation of his thigh. The first boat was so far a-lieaii of the olhcr hoats. bv accident or exertion 111;11 the destruction we have stated took place .0 before she could be supported. The second ¡ boat, however, iu which was Lieut. Andrews not iutiiuidalcd by the fate of the first, reev- ed the attack, but with no better fortune her crew was cither kjiied, wounded, or mads prisoners. Lieut. Andrews, who go heroically followed the example of his brother Officer, received it desperate wound bv a grape shot, in the thigh, during the conflict, and appre- hensions are entertained for his life. The third boat which assailed the enemy, "with the s;une resolution, was not mora successful—her crew suffered similarly. I "AlSO, as the French vessel had accom- ,)ii.sl)ed ('kis ivork of destrilctioii, slic, V"i:l tlio assistance of sweeps, got out of sight of the I Druid; and Sir W. Bolton, not knowiug what had happened to his boats, kept on the same course with whatever progress his ship could make in such weather. The next day fie agaii, got sight of the enemy, but unable to come up with her, he lost her in the night. Stand- ing on without any deviation, he again ob- served her next day, and again she escaped the following day. Despairing either of gain- illg upon her, or recovering his boats, he al- tered his course during the night; the enemy, by a critical coincidence, had done the same; and the succeeding morning he again got a view of her, and a breeze of wind fortunately springing up, after a chase of some length, i he succeeded in capturing the object of much work and anxiety. The prize proved to be a large national privateer, admirably well fouud in every respect, and strongly manned. It was a subject of deep concern to Sir W. Bolton, to understand the fate of his officers and men upon capturing the brig it was, however, some satisfaction to have recovered file wounded and prisoners of the ship's com- pany 011 hoard her. Lieut, Watkins had been very recently married to a respectable aud amiable young lady of this city. The loss, iii this unhappy affair was 16 killed and wound- cil, aud 17 prisoners, who have been retaken. 'IJie two brigs, consorts to the prize, escape -t-

Fashionable Improvement.—It-appears by a paragraph in the Globe paper, that Kensing- ton Chapel, Bath, was oil Thursday appro- priated to the pious purpose of a Concert u: derthc management of a Mr, Comer, at which the inimitable Catalina's performance was so exquisite, Is to per- son (a number, we presume, seldom collected together at that place of worship on nthernc- casions) forget the accustomed rcsnect too the sacred spot and to give loud phmiUs and an universal encore."—This account, if true, is the greatest reproach on the religion and morals of the country that has occurred in modern times, and, if a lie, it demonstrates the art of puituig, with a vengeance. Fire Damp.—Mr. John Jones, ofOrpys inti, has discovered a simple method of preventing what Colliers terra the Damp, by slackening a few lumps of fresh lime in Ihe level, or subter- raneous passage, made by fhe miners in dig- ging out Ihe coals, The Jexperiment was _suc~ cesfuliy made in Ihe coal mines belonging t<» Lo) d Cawdor, al: LunJash, In Carmarthenshire; the carbonic acid was produced by throwing few lumps of lime into a little water corred the air in the works and makes it more favour-, able to inhalation aud conibustion.
