SPANISH PAPERS. ALICANT AND VALENCIA GAZETTES. VALENCIA, DECEMBER 4. To-day we know for a certainty that Madame Su. chet has determined to go with the convoy, which it is said will leave Valencia for Saragossa on the sth. The Marshal has transferred his headquarters t( Murviedro, from which town all the inhabitants were driven by one of his Aides de Camp. Part of the forces had collected in this town, which passed from the lines of Xucar. The walls of Valencia are no longer to be seen, they having been demolished in great haste. Don Asencio Nebot (better known by the name of the Friar) is acting on the rear of the enemy, with such dreadful havock, that he would do honour to our best-disciplined troops. His force is composed of 2000 infantry, and 400 cavalry, well equipped.— His detachments had the hardihood to arrive in the Grao of Valencia, made the garrison prisoners, and caused such a universal alarm, that they fled to the city. Near to Burriani he seized a rich convoy, and in spite of the formidable escort took whatever he pleased, carrying away all the mules, and making a bonfire of the carts. In the town where the action took place, nothing is to be seen but ashes and 70 dead bodies. His infantry is in the very best state of discipline, and his terrible squadron of lancers is worthy of the valiant officers that command them. General Villacampa put to the sword a large party of renegade Spaniards on the heights of Liria. Su diet determined to pursue him with a strong division; but this officer occupying the heights and defiles, bid defiance to the empty threats of the Marshal, which, however, are tempered with prudence, as he arrived and returned without acquainting any body, VALENCIA, DECEMBER 5. Part of the servants of Joseph who remained here, and even some of the misguided Spaniards, bite their lips, curse their fate, and ridicule the stupid, servile, indecent Guillem, when he pours out his flattery, and misleads them as to the future state of affairs, at the very moment that every thing is likely to be at an end. NEWS FROM VALENCIA. They are demolishing the battery at the gate of San Vicente, in order to take away the wood. Ge. neral Macbucheli, the Governor, has just left us. The tower of Santa Catalina is demolished. In the hospital of the Ensenenza they have been selling this evening the clothes, watches, and other effects of those that died : 300 dismounted dragoons of the sth, 16th, and 27th regiments have just entered. The college of Villena is stripped of all the wood, which has been sent to Murviedro, In the centre of the redoubt of the sea•gate the sea-mortars are pla ced, with two of a smaller size and a carronade; the guns that are in the grand battery are of 12, 8, and 4-pounders, The Inspector leaves us to-morrow, Three hundred sick and wounded have left the hospital of Ensenenza for Murviedro. Eight dis mounted hussars have just arrived with two loads of carabines, 4c. ALICANT, DECEMBER 10, According to information well-attested, from Va. lencia, the enemy are withdrawing their effects, with their artillery, towards Peniscola and Tortosa. In the month of November they imposed a contribution of 16 millions of reals, so that the inhabitants of that city are so much harassed with such happiness, that they consider it better to abandon; their effects entirely than to remain to enjoy them. Those who do not contri'iute with their share of the contribution, are imprisoned in the Tower of the Serranos until they comply. Colonel Faxa, Commandant of Arragon, has re ported to General Lacy that he attacked, in the town of Arcn, 200 of the enemy with a party of his troops, consisting of 80 infantry and 10 cavalry, which he dispersed, with the loss of 25 mes, and amongst them two officers, with the small loss on his side of one man killed, and another wounded. DECEMBER 12.—The Allied Army in this part of the Peninsula assumes a very formidable aspect, and the enemy is concentrating all his forces on the left bank of the Xuar.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER TO HISEXCELLENCY THE MINISTER AT WAR FROM THE DURE op ALBUFERA. 66 Head-qparters, San Felipe, 7th Dec. 1815. 64 MY Loan DUKE—The Catalonian insurgents, accustomed to practice the most odious crimes, after having for the third time renewed at Barcelona the Attempts of poisoning and assassination, have essayed by a feint to surprise the fo.t San Felipe on the point de Balaguer. 64 On the 11th of November, 1000 men, led by Villamil, and dressed in the uniform of the sth regi. ment of Italian infantry, taken about a year ago at Figueras, appeared at the fort, and replied in French to the cry of 44 qui Dive," but being immediately dis covered, even when under the gates, they were re. ceived by a discharge of grape-shot, hich beat them down, caused them to lose a number of men, and obliged them to retire. We had one ofEcer and two men killed. ." On the 15th and 16th Villamil renewed his at tempts by other means ; he first sent two ridiculous summonses. Captain Lefebure, of the 115th, Com mandant of the fort, replied like a brave man. Villa. mil, assisted by three or four hundred men, landed from an English ship of 80 guns, which was moored in the face of the fort, deployed his troops around the fort, and showed some cavalry maneuvering in the plain, whilst the infantry approached the ways nearest to the place and the high road. The garrison and its Commander, equally inaccessible to seduce don and fear, contented themselves with stopping the enemy by some bombs and howitzers, and with firm ness awaited an attack. " On the 17th, at nine o'clock in the evening, and in the most obscure darkness, frightful howlings seemed to announce an escalade. Every one was at his post, a lively fire of musketry took place, several discharges of grape-shot stopped the most hardy, and after making a great deal of noise, the assailants again concealed themselves, 64 We kept in readiness to receive them the whole night, but at day-break they had disappeared. During this time General Plicque had left Tortosa, with the 16th of the line, two pieces of artillery, and some horses—having united himself at ?oral°, with a de tachment, come from Mora, he marched the whole of the night, and arriving at the position, he had only time to see the retreat of the enemy, and to turn it into a rout. The Voltigeurs of the 16th put them selves in pursuit, but could not come up with them. The Neapolitan horse chasseurs charged a beat's crew, and a score of men in a ravine, wounded seve ral, and brought away four prisoners —a quantity of arms, clothes, and ammunition, were abandoned ; the English, who had landed from a vessel called the Blake, used every effort to return on board, from whence they discharged several broadsides at the co lumn, but without effect. The defence of the pass of Balaguer does great honour to the firmness and prudent measures of its commandant, Captain Lefebure, and to the valour of its garrison. We had only a few wounded ; the enemy's loss in wounded was very considerable ; he left about twenty dead at the foot of our palisades. 4 1 On the 21st of the same month, a convoy of ar tillery, with oue 4-pounder and SO carriages, going to Favara, were surprised, and tell, for a moment, into the power of Layel, the chief of a band, who thought he could carry them off ; but General Bour geois, at Mequinenza, being informed of this event, hastened to send the Ilth of the Line, in pursuit, as far as Tortosa. Colonel Plicque likewise caused to beat about the mountain by which the band directed its march. The llth, by its celerity, was not long in coming up with the convoy, and in retaking it en tirely. The brigands tied in the greatest disorder. 44 Your Excellency will no doubt have received from General Decaen, tile detail of his operations in Catalonia. On the 23d, General Matthiett went with a brigade from Barcelona to Tarragona, to free it from the troops of Eroles, who for a lung time past had occupied the plain and hemmed it in. Eroles disap peared at his approach. General Matthieu would have performed the same operation against the fort Sau Felipe, at the point of Magner, but the troops from Tcrtosa had already driven the enemy from thence.-1 am, Ste. (Signed) 44 The Duke of Auturrit4." LETTER FROM TIM SAME TO THE SAME, MTV) SAN FELIM DECEMBER 7. " MY Lotto Duke—On the 16th ultimo J gave orders to the General of Division Hebert, to go with a part of his division from Albuyda towards Alcoy, where 1500 men, of Roch's troops, had reunited.— The enemy intended to stand the attack ; but our van-guard, composed of three companies of volti geurs and 25 hussars, under the orders of Captain Bergeron, of the 17th, having briskly charged and carried two positions, General Habert, by making a general charge, immediately broke and overthrew his whole line in such a manner, that he returned in disorder from thence towards Alcoy, whither we pursued him. Some prisoners have fallen into our hands, among whom is an officer mortally wounded. We had only five men and three horses wounded.— General Habert, who by this attack was to have ass sisted a movement which could not take place, is returned quietly to his position. 44 On the 20th, General Baron Delort, Comman der of the van-guard of the army, set out at night with 400 infantry and 300 of the 4th hussars, to sur prise an advanced post of the enemy's cavalry at Yula, which had lately been established there, In the middle of the night the Spanish troops, drawn up in order of battle in the square, were charged with impetuosity by the hussars, who pursued them as far as the gate of Jumilla, and a league on the road, sabreing all who stopped to make resistance. One party escaped by favour of the darkness ;-40 horses, about 30 men, and the Major of Horse Chas seurs of Jaen, were taken, as well as a number of Farms and other effects. Lieutenant Saillard, of the 24th Dragoons, was wounded by a lance. " This little expedition does honour to the dispo sitions of General Delon, and to the troops who exe cuted them. 44 On the 221, a reconnoitring party, of 50 men of the 10th of the line, and 25 chasseurs of the Royal Italians, left Vivel, near Segorve, at break of day, to march to the road of Bexis, by order of Genoa' Count Pannetier t who was detached with a br;gade to that point. The officer who commanded the re connoitriOg party, neglecting his instructi9ns ) and the precautions usual in the field, suffered himse.f t be surprised by an ambuscade of the enemy ;— ;A : men were taken prisoners, four killed, and sevt4 wounded. it To revenge this affront, and drive Villacamp a ', corps, who was entrenched in a very strong position at Bexis, from the frontiers of Arragon and Valen c i a . I gave orders to Gen er al P anuet i er to march with the 10th of the line, the Ist of the ftalian light in. fantry, and 150 horse, to attack and beat the enemy, whilst General Lamarque was to march to the sam e point from Lorca, with the :fd light infantry, and 200 dragoons ; but notwithstanding all the effort; of General Pannetier, to deceive Villacampa on hi s march, and force him to an engagement, that CL, hastened to evacuate his position, as soon learnt we were marching towards hint.

The Field-Marshal Prince Schwartzenberg hzs established his head-quarters at Bialystok ; those of General Reynier are at Brsesc. This position of the Austrian army,"and of the 7th corps, has obliged the remains of General Sacken's army to direct march towards Pinsk, to enter Lithuania, and re move from our frontiers. FRONTIERS OF PRUSSIA, DECEMBER 24. We reckon, that from the commencement of this month, the military road has retaken its course, for the next four months, from Magdeburgh through Mokkern and Brandenberg to Berlin. A great num • ber of troops, both infantry and cavalry, have passed through Mokkern within the last fortnight, whist} are going to join the Grand Army. AUGSBURO, JANUARY 1. The following article appears in the Casette L'ni• verse! : Never, perhaps, was the power of the great French empire displayed in so extraordinary a man ner as at the present moment ; 300,000 mon are d;s posable in the interior ; the 100 cohorts of the Nat tional Guards furnish 100 battalions, and 100 com panies of artillery. These troops, raised within year, are composed of men from 22 to 30 years of age, and consequently of an age to support the fa tigues of war. The conscription of 1813, has fur nished 160,000 men, raised since the Ist of Sep tember. They are aimed, clothed, and incorporated in the regiments. Thirty thousand old troops, hi therto employed in the service of the marine, are also disposable, since the sailors and gunners of the ma. rine replace them in their service. Besides these 30,0(K) men, who are in the interior, 30,000 others, commanded by General Grenier, are now traversing Bavaria ; 70,000 men form the corps of the Duke sf Castiglione, who is on.the Oder ; and the division which occupied Pomerania is at present at pantsic. These three corps, between the Rhine and the Vis. tula, form 100,000 men, all Frenchmen, and of whom not one has taken part in the battles of the Grand Army. Add to these, the resources which Italy, land the other allies, offer to France, and only a few months will be necessary to add 200,000 fghting. men to those of Atom France can already d►spose. COPENHAGEN, DECEMBER le. The intense cold still continues in consequence of the east wind. Reaumur's thermometer is 13 below zero. From our custom-house to the coast of Swe den, the Sound presents only one continued surface of ice ; and should the frost continue a short time longer, it will soon be passable on foot. Some ships from our provinces, which are detained by the ict, have already sent home their crews,. BERLIN, DECEMBER se. We expect here, about the middle of January, corps of 50,000 old French troops from Italy. WARSAW, DECEMBER 22. The Council of Ministers has ordered, by a decree of the 20th of this month, the raising of a horse. man, mounted and equipped, by every fifty hearths. This light cavalry, which mabe assimilated to the Cossacks, will, in the space o ff month, be in a con! dition to cover the cantonments of the Could AMA as alto the frontiers against the incursions of the light troops of the enemy. The success of this le!y, which must produce from 12 to 15,000 men on horsehaak, is certain ; since it finds within the country horses, arms, and equipments. These measures, dictated by the prudence and devotion of the Grand Duchy, do not yet correspond sufficiently to what the love of our country, and the zeal with which we are ani. mated against the enemies of the Polish name % re quire of us. The Confederation has yielded td the wishes of the nation, of which it is the representative and the organ, by calling the Nobility to arms by an energetic proclamation. BERLIN, DECBMBER 29. On the 19th instant, M. de 4(rusemark, Minister from Prussia to the Court of France, is to set out from Warsaw to repair hither. On the 14th, the 10..1i corps d'armee was still in its former position, and the Prussian head-quarters were at Mittau. Notwithstanding the rigour of the cold, which about the middle of the month was at Wilna 25 de grees, and the great quantity of snow which there re tards the motions of the allied army, it has been able to enter into its winter quarters ; several officers have obtained permission to go to Konigsberg or Warsaw, to repose after the fatigues of the campaign. The wounded will find in these two cities more resources for their cure than in smaller towns. Others have profited by the present suspension of military opera tions to return to France.
