MISCELLANY.
A Few years ago, when Kofwiusco came
through Briftol, on his way to America, great marks of honor were (hewn him, and many pre Tents made him, both by the municipality, and by individuals. Among others, an honcft ginger-bread baker thought, as he was going to fra, nothing could be more acceptable to him than a noble plumb cake for the voyage -he znadt htm the very Wft which could be made, a valiant un it was it was as big as he could carry, and on the top, which was as ufual covered with trufl of fugar, was written in colored plumbs, To the gallant Kosc i usee." With this Uuiden, the good mm proceeded to the houfe ol American Conful, wliere Kofc'tuico wlodged and enquired for the vt ticral ; he vag told that he was lying on the sofa, far his wounds was not at that time healed.
and was too much fatigued and too unwell
to Tec any one. O (frJ the gingerbread
baker) he won't be angry with leeing me,
1 warrant vou. fr flicw me the way up
and nulhifikT the fervant forwird, he fol
lowed him up ftiirs into the room, when, rrat man whom he
was come to honor, lying on a couch, wit!
his Countenance pile, painful and emaciated ; yet fall of benevolence, the fight overpowcred him, he put down his cake, -burit into tcau likr. a chihl, and ran cut of the roeiB without fpeaking a ting'.c word. ( Liprciilt's. Ltttcrs. J
Extract of a letter to Be At tdmiral
Purvis speaking of the state, Ifc of the Spanish troops, dated Utrcra, June 13, 1808. c On receiving direction to proceed to the Junto, at Seville, I was particularly
commanded by Major General Spencer to
communicate to yon direct, the lnftrmation I thought of any confequence J and with the particular points in view, fpeci-
fied in the orders I received, I loofe no
time in communicating what his ferene highnefs the Prefident of Andalufia, 8cc.
has given me as the jufl account ef their
anatrs. I beg leave to oblerve the utmoit franknefs appear to guide, them, and the mofl decifive firmnefs ftrengthened the relation they made. . 44 They defcribed their regular force joined by the camp at St. Rouge at 1200,
of which 6000 oecupy the pofition of
Lirmona with 15 pieces of from 6 to 8 pounderst the'r cavalry, and the remaining force, is at Seville, Utrcra, and the fmall houfes in the neighborhood ; the entire force they think, may be encreafed by fmall bodies, who arrive daily ; and three regiments of peafants, to whofe inf rue tions they have commanded every attention fhould be given.
" By intercepted letters from Gen. Du-
pont commanding the French at Cordova,
they learnt his orders to M. Dubris, to
proceed, from 1 avira to Seville direct ;
others bid him not obey this order, but
jom him by the fhorteft road at Cordova ;
complain they have no anfwers ; and in
the lafl brought yefterday, bid him be ex
peditious, as he isdefirous, when reinforced,
to drive the rebels from Seville. Ob the
obtaining the firll, the council difpatched general Johnfon with 300, regulars end
gave directions to the government t
Ayamone, to put the armed peafifttry in
motion, irom the impomhility of the
deeply interfered ground from this to
Seville and Cordova, they do not appre fiend the French can proceed and certainly
inuft abandon the ten pieces of cannon if
they arc not all deitroyed ; and if he is not, they impute it to his having moved
by the left and by the river, to join
general Dupontat Cordova'
The irregular foice they have given
arm?, is by the number of rations given,
trom 70 to 75,000, and would incrcafe to any numbers they would wifh. This zeal
to join the army is reprefsed by the order
in council juft enforced. u I am not returned from the advanced uard at Cormona, whert the utmoit confidence exifts ; and in admirable pofition, i.Juy are employed in flreitgthetiing an excellent pofition by works. General Johflon's corps is returned and has marched to tfce main body of the Spanifh regulars at Utrrra which is the head quarters of the Captain General Caftina. When at Cormona, I faw 800 Swift, who hsd juft arrived from Carpt, where
:hev were pouea on their nuich lrom
Madrid ; ot'.icis attempted to follow, but
is fupp'jfed they were obliged to difperfc.
