_-~-~ - SICILr. PALERMO, SEPTEMBER Tr. • The departure of Lord W. Bentinck has excited tal ordinary surprise here. It appears that his Lord- Alp came to this Court without any other instructions than the (ordinary circular, and a special letter from the griace Regent, permitting him to return in the event of not ending circumstances congenial to what h might suppose expected in England. The Mit bassador on, his arrival was. of course confounded, in discovering the distracted state of the island ; certain occurrences rendered some demands on his part ab solutely necessary, whiCh the Court not only refused, but in replying. adopted an unusual tone, which led to a suspicion that the friendship to the British nation was despiied.' I'Sbbs-!quently however the tone was lowered, and the refusal to comply with the Ambas - sadrir's request was grounded on his not possessing sufficient authority 'from England—a secret that . had transpired. Lord W. Bentonck then threatened to ;rural, upon which the Queen said it was impossible for an Envoy to gn without instructions from his Master. The permission being however produced, her Majesty was terrified and inclined to a ccede for the moment, to all ha demands ; nay, it is even said, she had made some progress in a letter, when her Council, through the Marquis Circello, dissuaded her, declaring that they would maintain the dignity of her Crown, the independence of her kin... and thespkndour of her Royal Family ' • the aueen tore the letter, and declared that she would Maintain the' rights of an independent Sovereign, and the Mihister, • • 1. 11:. • 'departed: 1 SAME DATE. -- ' There is.a great alteration; not only in the tone of the courtiers, brkt also of Most persons employed in public offices of this Govern ment, towards the English, since the departure' of Lord W. Bentirick ; and they are now shewing symp toms of conciliation, which are the more awkward, as being so novel ; from the great forbearance of the British Government for so many years, the Govern incnt imagined that we. were ei:her incapable or =id thorised to make any claim of justice or equity, and agnseqnently carried every thing with a high bind.

"ISin—l have the honour to inform you of the results of my last action. • " On the lith jtrstant I marched from this town of Moneo, a league. froth Mediae de Pomar, in the di rection-of the towns of Frias Puente la Ra, and tier - guendas, hoping to intercept 8000 hierino sheep es corted, by 1000 infantry in the most miserable state. I arrived at Es - pejo ; but, informed by myapj f ekhat.:, VOOO mere.more were encamped in the yicm l 1-law, I was obliged to abandon my expedition, tsad changing my intentions, I took my route to Arlarastel In the mean time Caffarelli, Tnbenot, and Buquet,J who were going to Orduna with 4300 men, inducedti me to take possession of the heights of Atteas, inasee: der to oyertaee them ort.the 12th, of the three ends of the road'to'Victoria, where Artomana, Paul, and Delica, were going ;but the Count having advanced and taken possession cl the advantageous ground, divided his troops in seven divisions, end defeated any intentions. " But the Colonels Lecot and Comby could not get away so easily, for they with 600 excellent Gre nadiers, ar.d 400 Vohigeurs, followed • Caffarelli's route to Orduna, on. the 13th, who left orders•to, march to Valladolid by the high paved.way. Thew Chiefs informed that I was in the.vicinity of Vilialvae suspended their route, and spread a false report that they were going to Victoria ; but aware of their Era.' tagem by several intercepted letters from their" G eneral, I made use of another, and leaving Villalva precipitately, rforced the Junta to inform them that I marched to Medina, knowing that the French were at Orduna. My stratagem succeeded, for by coup-,i ter-marching all the night, I took possession of. the' Pena Nueva. '• " Not assured-yet of their real direction, I waited ' till ten o'clock in the morning of the 14111, •at which time they appeared coming . out from Orduna, very' , slowly, and all in one division, which gave- me time to take proper measures, to place my troops on the' heights, and cover them with enormous stones. • . When they arrived at the end of the railed ‘44 4 they halted, and sent'ip 100 Voltigeurs ; but hardly had they arrived at the foot of the heights, when they were all either killed or wounded by the volley's of the battalion (which I call veteran). • My cavalry and infantry followed the • Main y''bod ofthe. ti t - nr with the greatest intrepidity and order. Thee " y't • Chiefs collected all they troops that were thil‘ortkand • . dividing Ahern in six divisihrts,' they ow e I? a wood to sustaintheir retreat. " They were . charged by my infantry sill be' made a pass ige for the cavalry, which,-by appeging to take possession of the'iown, changed their regulatr retreat into a precipitate fight. Having shot them selves up in the fortitications, Itecalled my troops, who, during 3& hours, patiently suffered the want of food, and rest for many p atiently The losi of the enemy amlunis to 206 teen, among whom six were officers, and 96 wounded, and also Colonel Comby, with some other prisoners.
