No.2 - The official Dispatches relative to the glorious VICTORY of SALAMANCA, and other important Articles, having induced the Proprietors to publish two Sheets of the Journal of this Date.
LONDON
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19.
The ILLUMINATIONS for the late victory were repeated last night, and from the additional time for preparation, excelled in brilliancy those of Monday night.
The house of the Spanish Ambassador, in Spring Gardens, was very splendid. In addition to the forces spirited motto, of "To Britain Triumphant; Spain Grateful; and the Hero's Name surmounted with a laurel Crown," a transparency was last night displayed, on which were the following noble and manly sentiments, which we are well assured will be re-echoed by every true and honest man of both nations: "Eternal Alliance between England and Spain; God Save the King; Long Live the Prince Regent; and, May God restore Ferdinand VII to the bosom of his loyal and loving People."
The Foreign Office in Downing-street, the War and Colonial Office, the Office for the Home Department, the Horse Guards, and the Ordnance Office in Pall-Mall, displayed different appropriate transparencies.
The Opera House and other Theatres, were brilliant.
St. James's-street, from one end to the other, was a mass of brilliancy; the subscription houses taking the lead, and the minor habitations following their example, "Victory," and "Wellington," a "Crown," and the "British Star," appearing every where.
Every house in St.James's-square was a blaze of light. - The Duke of Norfolk's, Lord Ellenborough's, Lord Eliot's, Earl of Hardwick's, Mr. Byng's, Sir Watkin Wynne's, and Lord Castlereagh's, rose resplendently beautiful. The Duke of Devonshire, in Piccadilly, and the Duke of Northumberland, at Charing Cross, were also very brilliant.
At the Marquis Wellesley's, Hyde-Park Corner, were triumphal arches of lamps, festoons and pyramids, encircling the whole of the Noble Lord's premises.
The vast concourse of people assembled together, at Charing-cross, at ten o'clock, prevented the carriages, for a time, from proceeding. The eagerness of the people on foot to make way to and from the Horse Guards, occasioned many of them to be thrown down and trampled upon. The firing of guns and throwing of squibs; the huzzaing of the populace, and the clatter of bricks against the pannels of coaches and doors and shutters of houses, produced such noise and tumult as has not been witnessed since the celebration of Lord Nelson's memorable victory of Trafalgar.
At the battle of the 22d, the wife of Capt. Prescott, of the Royal Fusileers, followed her husband to the scene of action; when she heard of his having been killed, she hurried among the dead and dying, and at length found him, when she discovered that a ball had passed through his head. She is now at Salamanca with her two children.
The 61st Regiment (Gen. Hewitt's) experienced a much greater loss than other corps in killed and wounded at the battle of Salamanca; the 11th Foot (Sir Charles Asgill's regiment), and third battalion of the Royal Scots, were next in succession the greatest sufferers.
Strange APPEARANCE in the HEAVENS.-- A singular appearance was on Tuesday night observed in the heavens, from the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, and the vicinity, about half-past eight o'clock. The sky was unusually clear, and the moon shone with resplendent brightness; not a cloud was to be seen but in its immediate neighbourhood, and that of inconceivable beauty and magnitude. It presented to the admiring gaze a most beautiful mixture of ebony and gold, and at the top, sheets, or rather slight shades of these, extended to a considerable distance. As it passed over the moon, which occupied a space of two minutes, it assumed the image of Britannia, bearing a sceptre of no small dimensions. At any other time this might have passed almost unobserved, but at the present moment it struck with peculiar force, when the British arms are universally triumphant.
LONDON,
FRIDAY, AUGUST 21.
The Aeronaut Sadler, has signified his intention of making an aerial voyage across the Irish Channel, in the course of a few weeks.
ASTRONOMY.- There are at present visible, near the centre of the sun's disk, two very large spots, which are distinctly seen with a telescope even of small magnifying powers, when provided with a dark glass to protect the eye of the observer from the sun's rays. One of these spots appears perfectly circular; the other which is a little above it to the left, resembles a small segment of a circle whose centre is the same with that of the circular spot. It is remarkable that these spots were not visible before the 10th inst. some days previous to which a large circular spot appeared at the centre of the sun's disk, and which on the 10th became barely visible on his western limb.
Great mischief has been done during the Illuminations, not only by the wanton breaking of windows, but by idle fellows firing off muskets, pistols, &c. and throwing serpents, squibs, &c. so as to injure people passing in the streets. The magistrates have had abundant employ in investigating complaints of these transactions, and many of the offenders have been obliged to give bail to answer for their conduct. In some instances the firing off of pistols and other outrageous proceedings of the mob, have been attended with fatal consequences.
A female of respectable appearance dropped down and expired, in St.Clement's Church-yard, Strand, during the confusion occasioned by the illuminations on Wednesday night. Her death is attributed to an alarm occasioned by the sudden explosion of a blunderbuss near her.
EXECUTION.- This morning was executed in the Old Bailey, pursuant to his sentence, T. Bowler, for maliciously shooting W. Burroughs, with intent to kill him. Our readers cannot fail to recollect together with the facts of the crime itself, that the unhappy man was arrived at a very advanced period of life; that he was a man of independent property; and that he, as well as the innocent object of his malice and violence, was a respectable farmer in the neighbourhood of Apperton, in Middlesex. His infatuation was of no ordinary description; for, without the prospect of any sort of compensation for the risk he was about to run, except the gratification of his own revenge, at the age of 70, he exposed his lengthened years to be cut short by an unnatural and ignominious death. Had he not listened to the false dictates and impulses of that worst of all bad counsellors, passion, he might have passed the few remaining days (which, in the course of nature, he could only expect to be few) in peace and affluence, amidst his family, and have quietly gone to the grave, attended by the anxious, affectionate and consoling duties of children and grand-children. But he allowed himself to be hurried into crime, and he had paid the price the violated laws of his country imperiously demanded of him. Much interest was made by his relations to obtain a reprieve for him, but it was in vain; and probably the recent crime of Bellingham, with his consequent punishment, operated not a little towards causing the just sentence of the law to be executed on Bowler. As he did not appear on the scaffold till about ten minutes past eight o'clock, many in the crowd (which was considerable) began to conjecture he had been reprieved; however he soon made his appearance, and after a few minutes spent in apparently most fervent devotion, the platform dropped; and he seemed to die without a struggle.
Port News.
FALMOUTH, Aug 20. His Majesty's brig Atalante arrived here on Tuesday evening in 29 days from Halifax. She has brought over Mr. Foster, Col. Barclay, and Mr. Hamilton, the latter of whom landed, and set off for London with dispatches. Accounts are unfavourable, several vessels been captured, and sent into Halifax, and the American squadron is at sea with the avowed purpose of attacking our Jamaica Fleet. The British squadron is said to be between the American squadron and New York.
Two Messengers from London with Dispatches, sailed yesterday, in the Chesterfield packet, for Cadiz.
PLYMOUTH, Aug. 21. Came in the Hotspur frigate, from off the coast of France.
Also the Minerva, Capt. Mann, from Palma, with wine, for this port: she sailed the 4th of May, with 48 sail of transports under convoy of the Alceste frigate, and parted from the fleet yesterday afternoon.
Sailed the Nonpareil schooner on a cruize.
PORTSMOUTH, August 22. Mr. Foster, our Ambassador to the United States of America, arrived here, with his suite, on Wednesday evening, in the Atalante sloop of war; and; and as the Declaration of War by the Americans had put an end to his mission, all hope of accommodation seemed at an end.
This morning we were agreeably surprised by the arrival of a vessel from America, with a FLAG of TRUCE. From this it appears that the Americans, on learning that our Orders in Council were revoked, had rescinded their hasty Declaration of War, and the door of negotiation being re-opened, we may yet hope for an amicable accommodation of all differences with America. A Gentleman landed from the flag of truce, and set off for London.
Lord Melville has changed his day for receiving Naval Officers, from Friday to Tuesday, at twelve o'clock.
Our Musical Cognoscenti has been highly gratified by the performance of Concerts on Wednesday, and two following evenings, at the Theatre, and Oratorios on Thursday and Friday mornings, at St.John's Chapel, Portsea. The performances were under the direction of Mr. Sibley, whose selections and arrangements were and arrangements were most excellent. Madame Catalani was pre-eminent among the performers, and enraptured the audience by her astonishing execution. Mrs. Ashe, Mr. Bellamy, Vaughan, Goss, and the other vocal performers, executed the parts allotted to them with great taste and skill; while the band, under the direction of Mr. Weichsell, with the powerful aid of Lindley, Holmes, Ashe, Griesbach, and others, was most ably supported; the choruses were full and grand, and the performance altogether was truly delightful. The families of fashion, for many miles round, attended this festivity, and all seemed gratified with the reflection that they had contributed to reward Mr. Sibley's exertions.
Wednesday Evening - Arrived the Atalante sloop, with Mr. Foster and suite from America, and Vautour sloop from a cruize.
Thursday.- Arrived the Narcissus, of 36 guns, Captain Aylmer, and Parthian sloop.
Friday.- Arrived the Castilian sloop.- Sailed the Latona troop-ship, Capt. Sotheby, with prisoners for Leith.
Saturday.- Arrived the Vengeur, of 74 guns, Capt. Dundas, and Princess Caroline, of 74 guns, from off Cherbourg ; and Wizard sloop, from the Mediterranean.- Sailed the Freija, of 38 guns, Capt. Scott, with prisoners for Scotland; and Castilian sloop, Capt. Branner.
Went out of Harbour, the Pompee, of 74 guns, Capt. Sir .J. A. Wood.
WINCHESTER.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 21.
The glorious Victory of Salamanca was celebrated at Packham House, near Fordingbridge, the seat of General Hay, on Tuesday evening, in a very appropriate manner. The House was brilliantly illuminated; over the portico was a transparency, with the name "Wellington," decorated with garlands and stars of the Order of the Bath (we believe the performance of the Miss Hays and their fair friends). The gates to the shrubbery were thrown open for the admission of the inhabitants of Fordingbridge, and a band of music was stationed on the lawn, playing martial airs. An elegant display of fire-works, and other demonstrations of joy, contributed to the hilarity of the evening, which concluded with a petit soupee. A barrel of strong beer was given for the purpose of drinking the health of the Hero of Salamanca, which was done amidst repeated cheers and acclamations.
BIRTHS.] On Monday the 10th inst. the Lady of the Rev. G. Illingworth, of South Tidworth, of a son and heir.- On Tuesday last, at her father's house, at Spofforth, in Yorkshire, the Lady of Henry Eyre, Esq. of Landford, of a daughter.

On Wednesday died, at the Black Swan Inn, in this city, Ensign Edward George Bradford, of the 67th regiment of foot; which regiment he had joined but a few days before, in good health. He was a native of the county Armagh, in Ireland, and in his 26th year.
Mr. Scrope, a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, who betted 5000 guineas, some time since, that he swam from Eaglehurst, the seat of Lord Cavan, on the Southampton river, to the Isle of Wight, has received 750 guineas forfeit from the sporting gentleman with whom he made this wager.
On Saturday last Mrs. Heathcote, of Henstead, was found hanging in her dwelling-house. The cause of this rash action is unknown.
SALISBURY,
MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1812.
The glorious VICTORY of SALAMANCA is so honourable to the British arms, and so gratifying to every Englishman, that immediately on receipt of the official details we endeavoured, at considerable expence, to present them to our subscribers. This is not easily effected in a great part of our district, and we found it necessary to re-print the whole in our regular columns. Other important information continued to press on us, and many of the favours of our advertising friends had been long delayed. This situated, we have found it advisable to extend the present Journal to TWO SHEETS, the only way by which we could possibly gratify our readers, and avoid the inconvenience to every class of advertisers, We trust this exertion will give general satisfaction, as a perusal of the sheets will, we think, give ample proof of its necessity.
The News of the glorious Victory of Salamanca occasioned a general rejoicing in every City, Town, and Village in our district, which was demonstrated by the ringing of bells where ever there is a peal, by the parading of military corps, firing of vollies, and drinking "The gallant Wellington and his brave Army" in every party, and almost in every family.
A correspondent, on whose information we can rely, writes that he is just returned from a tour through the Northern and Midland counties, during which he took great pains to form a correct estimate of the crops of corn on the ground, and gathering in; and he has the pleasure to add, that they are more abundant than ever he knew them.
On Wednesday, pursuant to public advertisement, a meeting was held at the Town-hall in Devizes, for the purpose of establishing an Auxiliary Bible Society. The meeting was most respectfully attended. T.G. Estcourt, Esq. M.P. was called to the Chair; the Rev. Mr. Owen and the Rev. Mr. Hughes, Secretaries to the parent institution, expatiated on the blessings resulting therefrom, and were ably supported by other gentlemen. A subscription was commenced to extend the blessing; it was resolved that the Society should be denominated "The Wiltshire Auxiliary British and Foreign Bible Society," and the Bishop of Salisbury was elected President thereof.
We understand that the Inhabitants of Warminster and its vicinity, who are friendly to the Wilts Auxiliary Bible Society, institutes at Devizes on Wednesday last, intend to assemble at the Town Hall on Monday the 31st instant, to consider the best way in which to promote this truly excellent Institution.
Five hundred of the Wiltshire Militia entered Liverpool on Saturday the 15th inst, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Warnford; the remainder of the regiment, to the number of 450, marched for Chester.
On Thursday the 13th inst. was married, at Weymouth, by the Rev. C. Phelips, J.P. Bridges, Esq. Captain in the 12th light dragoons, to Elizabeth second daughter of the late J.O. Goodford, Esq. of Yeovil.
On Tuesday last was married, by the Rev. D. Williams, Mr. W. Cunnington, of Heytesbury, to Eliza second daughter of the late Mr. Cunnington
On Tuesday last died , in the 82d year of his age, Mr. J. Jerrard, sack-maker, of Fisherton Anger.
On Sunday the 16th inst. died, at Whitecliff, in the Isle of Purbeck, Edmund Odgen, Esq. late of Shaftesbury.
On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, as Mr. Harding, of the Bear Inn, Cirencester, was returning home from Cerney Wick. his horse suddenly plunged and ran off with him. There were two or three neighbours in company at the time, who followed, and found him at a very short distance, thrown off his horse, and quite speechless. He was immediately conveyed home, where he died at five o'clock on Friday morning.
On Monday, at King's-Weston, near Bristol, as Miss Mary Jaons, aged 24, was running down King's-Weston Hill, her foot slipped, owing to the dew upon the grass, and falling upon her head into a quarry, she fractured her skull, which caused her death the following day.
On Tuesday night last, as Mr. Thomas Miles, of Berwick St.James, was returning home from our market, in his taxed cart, he was by some accident overturned near Fugglestone, and killed within a few yards of the spot where Mr. Harwood met with a similar fatal accident, about two years ago. Mr. Miles was a miller and farmer at Berwick, and possessed of considerable property. Having been detained here on Tuesday to a late hour, he had talked of remaining at his inn till the next morning; but some implements which he was taking home, being wanted by his men in the harvest-field, and the moon shining very bright, he was induced to adopt a contrary resolution, and the above fatal consequence ensued.
On Thursday William Doddamite, of Cranbourn, a patient in the Salisbury Infirmary, whilst eating his dinner, dropped down, and expired in a few minutes. The complaint for which he had been admitted into the Infirmary, was not in its nature mortal, being an affection of the jaw, of which he was recovering. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday; verdict, Died by the visitation of God.
HYDROPHOBIA.
The following authenticated particulars of the distressing Case reported in the preceeding Sheet will, we doubt not, be acceptable to our readers.
To the Editor of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal
IMBER, Aug. 18, 1812.
SIR,
AMONG the multitude of diseases which combine to aggravate the mass of human misery, there is none perhaps more terrible than that which is excited by the bite of a mad dog, scientifically known by the name of Hydrophobia.
As I have lately had an opportunity of observing the progress of this disease through its various stages to its termination in death, if you think such an account as I am able to give of it would be any way useful, I should feel obliged by your inserting it in your paper.
F. Brunsden, a lad about 15 years of age, son of a labourer of this village, but who himself worked at a farm in the parish of Lavington, was bitten in the upper lip by a dog he was playing with, about two months since. The subsequent conduct of the dog excited suspicion of his being mad, and the boy underwent the usual operation of immersion in the sea as early as he could get thither. He remained in apparent good health till the evening of Tuesday the 11th instant, when he complained that as he was helping load a cart with grass, he felt a sensation like a weight rising in his stomach. He was indisposed the next day, but as he did not seem remarkably unwell, and as his relatives were fully satisfied of the efficacy of the salt water, it did not occur to them that he was getting mad; however, as he was worse on Thursday morning, a professional medical gentleman was called in, who immediately pronounced it to be a decided case of hydrophobia.- This morning he complained of an intermitting pain in his stomach, that his throat was very sore, and that he felt rather strange in the head: his voice was interrupted like that of a person labouring under a violent hiccup; and his eyes were rather blood-shot and preternaturally glistening. Still, however, he was able to walk about very well; he reasoned as correctly as usual, nor did he manifest the slightest inclination to do mischief to himself or any one else. He several times asked for water or tea to drink, but the sight of it invariably excited indescribable horror, and increased the spasms to an alarming degree. He once attempted to swallow a tea spoonful of water, but was near three minutes in the act of deglutition, during which the spasms in his throat were very violent, and the water descended at last with a force as though it had been thrown from a syringe; this was succeeded by pains in the stomach, and breaking up of great quantities of wind. The poor fellow was fully aware of people's opinion that he was getting mad, and laboured under a frightful apprehension that means would be used to shorten his existence. He begged those who came about him, with tears, not to shoot him, assuring them that he was not mad, that he was only a little light-headed, and should soon be well. He evidently indulged strong hopes that his was only a little common illness till late in the evening, when the increased severity of the symptoms, and the preparations which he saw making to confine him, banished the pleasing illusion. It was expected that he would resist the performance of this melancholy duty, but he quietly submitted to be chained, only begging, in a most pathetic manner, that he might not be shot ! From this time the disease continued to gain ground rapidly; about ten o'clock, the light of a candle became insupportable, and shortly after midnight he became delirious. The remainder of the night was spent in excessive violence and raving; he repeatedly shook the weak fabric of the cottage in which he was confined, and serious apprehensions were entertained the partition wall to which he was chained. About five in the morning (Friday), he grew calm; but it was the calmness of approaching death: nature, no longer capable of maintaining the fruitless struggle, was about to yield to her terrible opponent. At nine o'clock, the pulse was extremely low and quick, and by twelve it was no longer perceptible. He lay from five in the morning till three in the afternoon (the hour at which he died) apparently insensible to all surrounding objects, but suffering extreme agonies from spasms, which frequently threatened immediate suffocation. The diseased saliva flowed copiously from his mouth; respiration was difficult and interrupted, and deglutition seemed impossible.- The moment of dissolution was not obviously marked by any exacerbation of the disease, and the spasm which extinguished life did not appear more severe than many which preceded it.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
