FROM till AMC!! PAPAS'. yarn TO THE MINISTER AT WAR *ROM THE OCTILII 0111 ALBUIERA, DATED SAN FICLII+I4 bEC. 271 " In my report to your Excellency of the 7th inst. ace rning the military events in Arragon, I you that Colonel Colbert, Commandant of a column cn the left bank of the Ebro, being attacked by the 1‘hol.: force of Mina, had been obliged to retire as fg as Zuera, near Saragossa; bat that General Paris; Commandant of that' city, having tent - him a rein forcement, he marched to Huesca, whither it ap. F eared the enemy had proceeded. In fact, Mini, b 0 V7th Nov. had, with his whole force, made him. 011 master of that city. Captain Couty, of the Bth, Commandant of the fort, with a detachment of his regiment, caused him to be reconnoitered by Lftut. Desbaufs, at the head OF a piquet bf 80 mens This eetachmebt charged with the bayonet 200 'ltem on the Coca, put to the :bete and penned then nearly under Mina's windows, when they rallied froln yll points to repulse this handfdl Of men% the retreat was then performed with the greatest say froid, and Isieut. Desbaufs, although Wounded in five places ht the arms brought all - his men safe back to p Castillo, after 'olving, before the iyes bf the whole poulation, car ried terror amongst 16 or 1800 aritied rebels, killed two of their men, wounded eight, and taken one hate, with a mule, which carried a piece of artillery. In th'e evening, and during the whole of the night, Nina kept up a continual fire on the Castillo% and lit poured to bring his artillery to bar. On the 28th, in the morning, he commenced his fire. Commandant CiZty made every disposition for a good defencel and retuintd a vig orous answer to a stimmons sent by 3fina. 'thishief perceiving that au attack by Main force would not succeed against such brave fellows, and informed of Colonel Colbert's movement, de parted in the night, taking his road towards Barbastis. " On the 2d December, the castle of Ferrol was re connoitred by WO infantry and 80 horse, of Villa Campa. Capt. Motillet, of the 20th of the line, and Commandant of that place, having seen the enemy's force, attired a sally to be made by 100 men of the tarrison, in two columns, who attacked the bridge and heights occupied by the enemyi he was soon dis lodged and put to the route. His cavalry, tndea 'vouring to charge the left of one of the columns, commanded by Serjeant-Majer Bulan, wits received with the fire of his musketry, and two or three shells from the fort 'bon forced the enemy to take flight, with the loss of several men killed gild wounded.

General Bertolletti, Common• dent of Tarragona, atter having secured at that port a rich English prite (the Vicissitude, of 500 tons). laden with colonial piciduce, by the intrepid niva teer, against all the attempts of the English resolved on driving from Reuss 1600 men, under Fabregan, who was every dg strengthening himself, and ap infied determined on establishing himself in that towns Having committed the charge of the place to Canoe Moth he left it at two hours after midnight, 'at the head of a cohtinn of 600 men, formed ut cho. sen compantes of the 20th French regiment of the line, and the 7th Italian of the line, a detachment of the Royal Choosey% and the necessary artillery luta to iteifve-ene firth-pounders besidp the ettnpanies of Spa nish:mu gramma. " Having fallen in delth the enemy's adeanced posts ' =of *bid was surprised and killed, Ge neral Beni changed his route ; and whilst the enemy were coming in his front, took poSsesoion of Reus, to fall on their rear. The ciairknett of the night did not permit his profiting by that advantage. At day-break the enemy was in a position behind the se;- Min:try, on the heights of Castitrel. General Ber tolletti again immediately crossed through Reus, at the far de charge, threw himself on the enemy, made his dispositions, and attacked him at three points with used bayonets, without firing a musket. The shock wino great, fiat our troops, without sustaining any loss, put the insurgents completely to route, pursued them without being able to come up with them, and saw them gain the mountains, leaving behind them about 60 dead, among whom were tour officers, a number of wounded, one of whom is an officer, and upwards of 200 muskets: " In consequence of this action, the enemy has t'astained a great desertion. This sally is a fresh proof of the vigour with which General Bertolletti always knows how to drive the enemy to a distance from his place, and to secure, by his good measures, the defence and provisioning it.

We have already noticed the Cortespondrilg energy With which Ministers were determined to meet evcry auspicious indicatioh of the popular reeling in the North of Europe. We have hoW the satisraccion to state, that from the vigorous measures about to be adopted, nothing short of a total distnembertnent front the #rench Empire of the Northtrn States of Europe may be expected. The nuke of BaUNSwica OEI has been among the first to apply for permis- sion to revisit his native land, and it is said he will hoist the standard of revolt iA Mecklenburgh and Pomerania. Several other foreign Officers of dis tinction are also preparing tO embark for the same quarter. We have also heard it staked, that the young Prince of ORANGE, who has terVed as Aide- 1 de-camp to the Marquis of WsumiNorbt4 with ho much: credit to himself", has been sent for to take a conspi. cuous shat in the great revolution wllich is now known to be secretly preparing throughoiit the whole Continent, for the overthrow of BONAPARTE'S dy nasty. The States of Holland are expected fkkrthwith to follow the example of those of Prussia: 4ii".•11.•.•m•••• The ettracts from the Papers brotlght by the Got tenburgh Mail of yesterday, and our ettracts from the last Paris Papers, furttish Us with but little cir cumstantial or detailed statements of the positions of the Russian or French troops. In reading the Got tenburgh or Russian details, however convinced we must be, that they are strictly true in the main cir cumstances„ we must, nevertheless, guard ourselves against that esagpetation which netessatily results froirrthe eagerness of our Northern allies to witness the overthrow of French tyranny. On the other hand, the Paris Papers are now filled With the grossest falsehoods on the subject of their military operations in the North. The report of the surrender of MACDONALD'S corps, received by the way of Got ter:!)!lrgh, must allude to the defection of the Prus .ians. There is still a probability ) however, that this redoubled Marshal of the Grand Army has not been so fortunate as his brother Satraps. Be this as it may, after - the revolt of his Prussianh, he could Make no stand against the overwhelming force which the Russians could bring against him. MACDONALD being disposed of, the Grand Army must have been reduced to AuoentAu's divisions. One of these, consisting of cavalry, and command. ed by General Buyastsa, was sent out from Wilna, on a voyage of discovery ) while the Hero was mak ing his escape from Smorgonie. From Lord CATH CART% dispatches we learn, that BONAPARTE fled on horseback from Ocksmiany, in disguise,, and with a few followers. At the next small town, on the road to Wilna, called Syzemsk, he made a still narrower escape. No sooner had he alighted and entered a !miserable ale-housp for refreshMents, than a thousand candidates for the honour of Miss PLATOFFIS hand entered the town “ upon the shoulders" of the sacred squadron. The cry of auk arms 1 a la voitars ! reached . the ears of the terrified Emperor, arid with that de cision which marks the character of your true coward, he vaulted from the window of a back apartment, and ran across some fields Upon foot to a strong Bi tonac, while nineteen of his Imperial Guards, or Sacred Squadron, (a' import,. I) allowed themselves to be cut down at the ale-house door. Bovasratel division from that moment formed the tear guard, and succeeded in carryibg off the prize from the Cossacks. Beside Botinswes, there were three other divisions of Anoennau's corps, and they were thus stationed, Viz. LoisoN's, at Tilsit ; CLAPEREDE'S, on the Preget ; and BEUDELET% at Danttic. The French Papers lately informed us, that all these were collected at Konigsberg f and it appears probable, that by leaving Vantsic, Gumbinnen, and other posts almost or aim+ gether without defence; MuttAT was enabled to as. , semble at least two corps (BRUM-n . 3 and CRAPE ISEDes) in as tolerable condition as the season would permit. Of Lorsou's ) our Cotrespondent furnishes more particular account. This fellow (whose tame ought never to be Mentioned without execration, for his infamous atrocities in Portugal); found it ad visable to March on the nth ult. froth Tilsit; for the purpose of scouring the pusitiOn of Labiaus be-1 L' hardly exchange some Musketry shot with their guard.

To tbis step he was probably Ebmpelled, by the stdvante of Tcmcwat ooswi and Wyrroassratts towards Tilsit ; and it stbilld seem, that he had been harassed by the Cos- sacks in his progress ; for after having merely looked ' at Labiate; amt found it untenable, he marched on tb Konigsberg, and arrived there on the 20th, with a Corps weak in numbers, and partly unarmed. MAC - DoNALD's melancholy letter from Tihit, ten days at= terwards, seem to hate annihilated the last lin gering hope of maintaining . Konigsberg. MtIRAT, however, Waited for him, as long as prudence would permit; and the circumstance of MACDO NALD's not having immediately fallen, back upon Konigsberg, Where the only' French troops then were, affords some probability that he was prevented front so doing by the interposition of a Russian force, upon his route. IT, therefore, he really reached th'tt for tress by the 3d Instant, as the French papers assert, he was probably compelled to make a long and diffi cult &kyr in his w►ay to it, fn order to avoid being entirely cut off. Ikf anbther part of bur Paper *ill be found sonre most entertaining details, taken from American Pa pers, respecting the war in Canada. We call them entertaining, for not a drop of human bitted seems to have been shed ; and the American soldiers seem to have sitch an antipathy to " rascally gunpowder," that their friends need be under no apprehension for their safety. • An Indian Chief, named SP-log, Mounted on a white charger, (perhaps a wooden horse) so terrified the whole American artny under General TUPPER, that numbers were drowned in hurrying a-cross a rives to get out bf his way. The next achievement of the fugitives was the capture of a foci of hogs, con trary to all military discipline ! The lengthy dispatch of General Hoexual is still more amusing than that which conies from the elegant pen of General TUPPER. The troops under the former poltroon could not be expected to do much, for their Commander himself was affbcted with a diarrhea even before he came within sight of the enemy ! ti-IE ARMY.

Sunday, the 17th instant; the Sd Royal Veteran Battalion assembled in the square of Elizabeth Castle, Island of Jersey, when Major Wvvici., their Com manding Officer, madt the following short but ap• propriate speech : " To you, Veterans, I need only say, that your aid of one day's full pay, is solicited fur the Relief of those brave Russians ,eho so heroically disposseand themselies of their all, to Impede the further approach of a sanguinary foe, bent on the destruction of the whole Russian Empire.
