. _ ed in four killed and nine wounded. After the affair of Alagos, General Lefebvre eon• tinued his march. On the 14th, he came up with a considerable body of the rebels of Saragossa, whom he instantly attacked and defeated, with the loss of 300 men and two pieces of cannon. After gaining this advantage, he c ontinuedhis march towards the city. General Dupont, on reaching Alcola in Andalusia on the 7th inst. came in sight of the insurgents who were under the command of Don Pedro Etcheuerri. He charged across the bridge, attacked the insur gent% and routed them with the loss of all their ar tillety, consisting of six pieces of cannon. The numbers of the enemy were very great, but they were dispersed like clouds of dust ; and at eleven of the sante day, General Dupont entered CordoVa, so that his march towards that city scarcely expe rienced a delay of two hours from the insurgents. The Magistrates and principal inhabitants of Val ladolid were exposed to the most dreadful sufferings, while that city remained in possession of the rebels. They erected a gibbet under the Captain General La Cuesta's windows, in order to compel him by terror to place himself at their head. General Cevallos, on his arrival from Segovia at Valladolid, was put to death by the enraged popu lace. His head was stuck on a pike, and carried in • procession through the city, after which it was tossed about the stt -!ets. The general disarming was carried on without in termission, and all the people in that quarter were returning to their duty. After the affair of Alagos, General Lefebvre con tinued his march, and on the 16th he arrived in front of the gates of Saragossa. He made himself master of the entrenchments which the insurgents had thrown up, on the piece of ground which was formerly co vered with olive trees, carried off the 18 piece- of C elery, by which they were defended, and got pos session of the middle gate. The greatest anarchy prevailed in this city. On the 17th and lath various negotiations t-ok • place with the insurgents. General Lefebvre inter - cd to remain for some time in the position which he had taken, in order to prevent the well affected inl a bitants f, om being exposed to the horrors of an a..* tacit; and it was supposed that his expectations oi the happy result of this measure would not be disap pointed. Marshal Moncey left Cuenza on the 16th, and was directin, his march towards Regenera. General Le febvre was marching towards Alvacette in the king dom of s.lurcia. General Wredel was advancing in to the kingdom of Grenada. The Prince of Castel Franco, the Councillor of Castille Don Ignez Martinez de Villela, and the Al elide Don Louis Marcellin Pereijra, had returned from their journey into Arragon. They made a re port to his Majesty on the subject of their mission, assuring him that the " orderly" classes of the inha bitants had conducted themselves in the most satis factory manner, but that it was impossible to open correspondence with the insurgents, as they had re turned no answer to any of their letters. General Lefebvre also had a conference with him on the 20th. The Emperor gave orders that every effort should be made to open the eyes of the insurgents, before the City of Saragossa should be exposed to all the hor rors cf an assault, which would inevitably be atten ded with the destruction of a great number of well disposed people. Marshal Bessieres had tried ev er y means which clemency could suggest to bring the mouritaineers to a sense of their duty, but they had sent him no answer. The Archbishop of Burgos had also writ ten to them, and addressed them in a canonical let ter, but these applications having been equally una vailing, the Marshal found himself compelled to re sort to forcible means. General Ducos marched against the .Escudo, and General Merle to attack the narrow passes in the mountains of Reijnara. The insurgents were routed before they could make mare than one discharge, having on the field four 18-pounders, and several hun dreds killed. On the 21st, the corps under both these Generals, which had farmed a junction, approached St. Ar dero. The city made proposals of surrender in order to prevent an assault. The Prince of Pont° Corvo was this day to set out horn his head-quarters at Altona for Rendesburg. It is rumoured that Gluckstadt will speedily be occupied by a French garrison. FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. GENOA, JUNE 18. In the Mostit:ur of this place we read this day the following article : 14 On the sullject of the negociations between Aus tria and France, we cannot yet speak with certainty. Some people suppose that the whole will soon be set._ tied, and that the House of Austria will give up Trieste, *Fiume, and in short all their cities and pOsts situated on the Adriatic, in return for which they will receive all the Provinces which formerly com posed the ancient Macedonia. Others suppose, how. ever, that the negotiations will be finally terminated on the return of the Emperor to Paris. They found this opinion on the circumstance of tae Baron St. Vincent aothc,ving followed the Emperor to Bayonne." asuluch as they tend to thew that h< Spaniards are not wavering, but decided in the line of conduct they have adopted. Marshal BUSTERES "tried easy woo " which clemency could sugpst, to brim; the Mountai. " neers to a sense of their duty, but they had tent biro 66 so avower." And again, 66 it was impossible to " open a correspondence with the insurgents, at thee , 66 returned no answer to any Vase (French Commanders) "letter:." With such dignified silence may every attempt to seduce the fidelity of an honourable and loyal people be received ! In addition to the printed journals, private advices have been received from France, which mention that King CHARLES IV. of Spain, the Queen of SPAIN, Queen MARIA LOUISA, and the Prince of PLACE, were all residing at Fontainbleau, where they were to re main till the Palace of Compeigne, which was under repair, was ready to receive them. The Prince of ASTURIAS and his two brothers were at Valencey, the country residence of TALLICYRAND. Tatt.teraanohinaself . had them incharge, and so anxi ous was he to secure his Royal Prisoners, that he was said to attend on them personally himself. Notwithstanding this precaution, Don Cantos, brother to the Prince of ASTURIAF, co. ,, :ived, in the latter end of last month, to make It's escape from his chamber, with a view of flying into Spain.— He had not proceeded far,-however, before he was seized and brought back to the Chateau, where, with 1 1 his Royal Brothers, he now remains closely guarded. —lt was supposed in Paris, that the person to whom the young Prince confided his intention of escape, and by whom it was planned, had betrayed him. 13y others, it was imagined that the Prince was treacher ously induced by him to make this attempt to escape, in order to afford a pretext for the more rigorous con finement of himself and his two Brothers. PORTUGUESE PATRIOTS. In the preceding cdlumns will also be found some Proclamations and other articles published :n Portu gal to animate the Patriots in that country. They are copied (iom a journal called “ The Loyd Porto ' 'nese," of which a series has been received by a vessel from Oporto, and which left that place on the 14th. Some of these articles are curious, and savour a little of the finesse which the/much have so often employed in publishing fictitious dispatches. Of this kind, we consider " the Original Order, &an:witted to the Captain General by NAPOLEON," which the Oporto Editor in forms his Readers was copied from the St. Sago Ga zette. Its tendency is so obvious, that but little doubt' can be entertained of its source. VIENNA, JULY 4. Their Imperial Majesties, about the middle of this month, will again leave the Baths, to take a journey to Gallicia ; and about the middle of August will re turn, in order to - set out for Hungary, where a Diet will be held, at which, however, the usual costly ce remonies will be dispensed with. Upon the conclu sion of this Diet, which will not last long, the Coro nation of her Majesty the Empress, as Queen of Hun gary, will take place at Osen on the 28th of August, on which occasion it is probable all the usual ceremo nies will be gone through. It is also said, that in the month of October their Majesties will take a journey into Bohemia, when the Coronation of the Empress as Queen of Bohemia, will be celebrated. The Turkish post of the 10th of June, which ar rived here yesterday, has brought no other intelligence, except a report, that an English frigate had again shewn itself in the Dardanelles, by which several small vessels had been placed in a state of requisition, but which had again departed. The appearance of this frigate gave rise to the report, that an English fleet had made its appearance, which had cut off the com munication with Smyrna. According to letters from Udina, large magazines have been collected, for the uncommonly numerous I troops destined for those districts. On the subject of the organization of the General Land Militia, a circular letter will soon be sent to the different Authorities and Heads of Circles, and the measure will receive a commencement as soon as possible. All who are not liable to the conscription must have their names enrolled for the Militia, and will be taught the use of arms on Sundays and Festi. vats. Those engaged in trade will form a corps by themselves, the dress to be uniform, and not costly. THE EVENING STAR. LON DON. FRIDAY, JULY 29.

We are concerned to state, that the Expedition from Portsmbuth, under Sir HARRY BURRARD, is now un fortunately detained at St. Helen's by contrary winds. That 14,000 troops, with ammunition, guns, matey, and stores of every description, which are every mo ment now required in Spain, should be pent up so, is a matter of real regret. We must, however, now believe, that the fine army under Sir ARTHUR WEL. LESLEY has reached its destination ; that the army from Kent has proceeded well on Its passage ; that General SPENCER'S army is actively and usefully en gaged in Spain, and that it has been joined by the tith and 42d regiments from Gibraltar, with per haps different regiments from Malta and Sicily. We have further to add, that the fourth Grand Expedition will speedily be sent off. As soon as transports are ready to 7eceive them, a strong force of Artillery, many regiments of Cavalry, the whole of the Foot Guaids, the 45th, 51st, 87th, and 88th, and several other regiments of the line, will be em barked. We hope the offer of several gallant corps of the English, Scottish, and Irish Militia will he ac reepted, and that this band of heroes will be allowed i t° distinguish themselves. The 45th and 51st regiments have arrived at Fal mouth, for the Fourth Expedition. Dispatches dated the 2lst inst. were yesterday re ceived from Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY. The whole Expedition under his command was then off Cape Finisterre, proceeding to its destination. Sir ARTHUR, who left the troops the second day after they sailed from Cork,had been to Corunna, where he was received with every demonstration of joy. Theis call at Co.. runna was judicious : it was not out of the course to the Tagus, and would shew the Spaniards that this 1 country was in earnest in its professions. n- SPAIN AND PORTUGAL . From Dutch Papers to the 24th, and Monitturs to the 18th ult. we have given such details respecting the affairs of Spain as are suffered to appear in jour nals published under the controul of NAPOLEON. — According to these accounts, the disaffected in Spain shew little or no courage; fly on every occason, when attacked by the French troops ; and may all be soon expected to be subdued, destroyed, or driven into the sea ! One thing, however, deserves particular notice. In the zeal of the various Editors to magni fy the triumphs of the French invaders, they have unwittingly acknowledged a great deal too much. — If the disaffected are so few in number, and so little to be dreaded, how comes it that they are able to shew themselves in so many places ? As a specimen of the veracity of these accounts, take the following: In the action at Valladolid they state the defeat of the insurgents with the loss ofi 1000 men : We know from accounts less to be sus- 1 pected, that in that affair the Patriots last only 113 men—the French 700 killed, besides a considerable number of wounded. (See the STAR of the 11th instant.) PLYMOUTH, JULY 27. Came in the MARTIAL gan-brig, from off Ferrol, with dispatches ; w. cannot discover that she has brought any particular news : the Patriots were in expectation of the troops from this country. Captain Dory, late of his Majesty's ship MUROS, of 20 guns, which was lately lost on the north-west part of Ci is on board the SPARROW brig, of 18 guns, that sailed from Jamaica, the 18th May last. Several of tl:e officers that belonged to the Mtraos, arc also on board the SPARROW : she was left in a gale the 12th instrast, by the ECLIPSE that arrived here yesterday. Came in the Arnow schooner, from Torbay. PORTSMOUTH, JULY es. Sailed his Majesty's ships SANDwicn, for Guernsey, FEARLESS and l'itsvoysNrs, witli a convoy for the Downs--Wind N.W.

The private letters from Holland state, that all the gun-boats in the Dutch ports had been armed and manned, and sent on towards Dusseldorff, for the purpose of enforcing the immediate march of the va rious conscripts in that neighbourhood, they having peremptorily refused to obey the orders of their offs-I cers. The greatest confusion prevailed, and much blood it was thought would be spilt, before the object for which the gun-boats were dispa t c hed could be obtained. • • A Gentleman who left Flushing only three days ago, assures us, that no French or other troops had been marched from that quarter towards Spain. Yesteriay a Cabinet Council assembled at the Fo reign Offize at two, and continued their deliberations until it was past five o'clock. The greater part of the Members were present. Mr. DUFF had an au dience of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, after the breaking up of the Council. A Spanish Messenger left Own yesterday, with dis patches from his Excellency the Visconte de MAT.. TEROSA, to his Court at Seville. Lord MuLGRAVE gave a grand dinner yesterday, at his residence at the Admiralty, to Don Francisco Sangro, Genera Jacomie, Admiral Alpodacar Vi s count Matarosa, Don Andero An g el de b.Viga, Don Andrbri lacomie, Den Lorenzo Norrega, his Grace the Duke of Portland, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earls of and Camden and West morland ; Lords Hawkesbury , Castlereagh, Palmerston ;Sin Ri c hard Bickerton and Geo. Smith ; Messrs. Canning and Erere. The Duke of NORFOLK is expected to return to town in a few days, from Arundel Castle. The bead quarters of the 2d battalion of the 45th regiment are at Nottingham. That excellent regment, the 18th Light Dragoo n s , k n own in Ireland by the name of Lord DROGHEDA s Light Horse, embarked at Northileet, on Wednesday, for foreign service. Last week a party of the 2d battalion of the 45th Regiment, consisting of 10 Officers and 160 privates, marched into Derby from Macclesfield, on their way to Nottingham ; tho remainder of this regiment is with Sir A. WELLESLEY'S Expedition. The North Cork Regiment of Militia, commanded by Colonel HODDER, has to a man demanded to be sent upon service, and especially to Spain, and have addressed,his MAJESTY to that effect. During the review of the Oxford Blues on Wink field Plain, on Wednesday, the beautiful charger on which his Grace the Duke .of NORTHUMBERLAND, (Colonel of the said Regiment) rode, was so much tigued and exhausted by the different evolutions, that he was left for dead ors the field. On Monday last, the Gth Regiment of Loyal Lon don Volunteers, with their Rifle Company, being mustered in Devons!tire-square, under the command of Lieut. Colonel Amos, were marched to Canenbury, for practice in ball-firing, under the inspection of Colonel Maarrg, when a medal was presented to the best shot in each company, by their Colonel, Sir RO BERT WIGRAM, Bart. M.P. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, the regiment, on the whole, levelled with considerable precision and effect.

ROBERT Bauce.—A pic-nie meeting, to celebrate the anniversary of the birth-day of R. BRUCE, the hero of Bannockburn, took place at the Castle of 'Lochmaben on Monday se'nnight. The company consisted of upwards of fifty persons of great respec tability, Wu. STEWART, Esq. of HillTlead, in the chair. That every thing might accord as much as possible with rural simplicity, tables were placed on the green, in front of the royal residence, and, accor ding to agreement, each Gentleman brought his con tribution of fare to the entertainment. The Locluna ben Company of Volunteers attended in honour of the occasion, and the day, which was uncommonly fine, gave a high effect to the.native music of Scotland (the bagpipe), which played during the whole of the evening. The company was so highly delighted, that I it was agreed a similar meeting s hould hereafter be held annually. • Exclusive of the numerous interesting articles on sporting and other subjects, the new feature of 6 Dis putes among Gentlemefi on Points of Honour, &c." is continued in the Sporting Magazine, 31 Volumes, with near 400 Copper-plates, are published, and the Work going on.—Sroes's 2 Plates of Horse and Lion, &c. form part of the recent embellishments. For Ceaes.—On the 6th ult. near Dunkeld, Perthshire, there were seen on the high road, a for and a hound proceeding at a slow trotting pace. The dog was about the distance of fifty yards be • hind the fox ; each was so fatigued and spent,that the latter could not outrun the former, nor the former overtake the fatter. A coun tryman, who ob.erveclthem in this state, very easily caught the lox by running. Both the for and the do;were taken to a Gentle man's house in the seighbourbood, where the dog received every mark of hospitality to which histinceashig pursuit entitled him, and Reynard seas placed in a garden as a prisoner of war; bu vhet bee from over-fatigue, or from a determination not to outlive the loss of his liberty, he refused to take any sustenance, and the conse quence was, that he died the day following. After the lapse of a week, the dog seemed quite recovered from the fatigues of tbe chase, on which it was determined by the gentleman whose kindness be so much experienced, to tie a letter to hisneck,andlet him go,inwhkh all the circumstances that passed in that place were stated: it con eluded with requesting the owner of the dog. if ever he found his way home, to acyaint Mr. S—t, by post, where the I. was started, in order that the length of the chase, and tbe time em ployed in it, might be ascertained. in tan days after, Mr. S.--t received a letter, acquainting him, that the dog had arrived safe at his master's house in Badenoeli ; that be was one of the hounds of the Duke of Gordon's Fox-banters i C n that entry; nd a that the fox was started in the morning of the King's birtb-day, on the top of those hills, called the Mona-liadb.wlAch separate Badenoch from Fort Augustus.—From hence' it appears that the chace lasted four days, and that the distance travelled from the place where the game was sprung, to the place where it was caught, wi• 'tout making any allowances for doubles, crosses, 3r.e. exceeded 70 miles. In the year 1633, a stag was ran by a single greyhound out of Whinfield Park, in the parish of Broughton, Westin.: eland, to Redkirk, in Scotland, and ha* again, a dis•anee of nearly 100 miles, when being t oth exhausted, the stag heaped over tk pale* and died ; the greyhound, in attempting to follow it, fell bat awl died on the opposite ride : in the memory of which (act the saes horns were nailed upon a tree just by, which to this (1.1 bead the name of Hart's-horn Tree. Thursday a fire broke out in the parsonage at Sandi ,rd, Devon, the residence of the Rev. Mums BENT, which was in a short time end' ely destrOlede together with seven other houses in the vilidge. II
