After stating the brilliant affair of General HILL, as mentioned in the STAR of Monday, the letter con iinues—" It is expected head-quarters will remain here tLe winter ;itis a most wretched place. The tinny are n"arly all in cantonments. Lieut.-Colonel eRANT, who was formerly Aid-de-Cimp at Ports mouth, to Sir G. Patvosx (and brother of Mrs. Dr. bl‘Gitanon) hid made his escape 'from Ciudad Ro drigo. His servant apprised the Guerillas, that the Lieutenant Colonel was, on a certain day, to be escor ted to Salarnanta, by 50 French dragoons ; the Cue s•illas- waited five days in ambush for him, and when he arrived :leer the appointed spot, the Guerillas sal lied out, and the Major galloped into the midst of them, when they all ement off with French leave. Don' Torahs, the enterprixing chieftain of the Guerillas, is gone on a fresh enterpnxe, with .a determination to intercept the new Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, that • is on his way to that place. The Governor lately taken, r think on his arrival in England, you will say is a tolerably good looking man.
