BILBOA, OCTOBER 1 e. The following is a copy of a letter addressed by the English Colonel who accompanies General Blake's army, to the Deputies of the Lordship of Biscay. The noble sentiments with which he is anxious to in spire the Deputies will doubtless have the desired effect ; and they already swear to avenge the insults offered to the poorest Bi.scayan peasaint ' • for there is not a calamity of any deseription, which this province has not suffered from those who call themselves the regenerators and friends of Spain " In the character of an Officer sent by the British Government to give every possible aid to the glorious cause of the good Patriots, I have the honour to ad dress myself to you, in the absence of the English Generals Broderick and Leith, who will soon be here, and to offer you my most sincere congratulations up on the happy event of your deliverance from a wicked and perfidious enemy, who, under the mask of friend ship, attempted to invade your most sacred rights, and to impose upon you the yoke of slavery. Bilboa is now free, and its territory protected by a formi dable army. But its greatest security consists in the difficulties and embarrasments to which the enemy is reduced, and the impossibility of repeating his cruel ties in this province. His iniquities have reached their highest pitch. The torch of desolation and de struction with which he ravaged so many innocent provinces is extinguished. The finishing blow is on the point of being given to all his enormities. He is surrounded on all sides by armies of unequalled bra very and enthusiasm, who have sworn in the presence of the God of Armies not to lay down their arms until they have annihilated those who have insulted the God of Truth and his Holy Religion. Those violators and assassins of so many innocent families, now find themselves reduced to the last extremity, and are retreating to the fortresses, where they expect to delay that just vengeance from which they cannot es ca " The happy moment has arrived when the noble Biscayners may take part in the common cause, and draw the sword in defence of their religion, their liberty, and their beloved country, manifesting to the whole world, that it had hitherto remained in the scabbard only from the imperious necessity of the circumstances wherein they were placed, and giving the enemy most convincing proofs that the blood of the valiant Cantabrian; still flows in the veins of the' Biscayners. Already I rejoice to see the enthusiasm that animates all ranks of the people with whom I have conversed in Bilboa, and other parts of this Lordship, and I promise myself the most beneficial results will accrue to the common cause from a gene ral armament of the inhabitants. " The British Government, penetrated with the most just sentiments of indignation on beholding the insidious, fallacious, and cruel conduct of their enemy --the enemy of truth, and the disturber of the repose of all the nations of Europe, have resolved to assist and support your just cause, with a liberality propor tioned to its merits and the glorious struggle in which Spain is engaged. English vessels have arrived on your coasts, laden with arms, stores, and money. There are also in your country English agents, sent by that Government for the sole purpose of your communicating to them your necessities, which will be relieved without delay. 44 You may therefore animate your own hopes and those of your fellow-citizens with the assurance of 35,000 English troops speedily arriving to assist you. Besides this 'force, you have in your ports the brave army of the Marquis de la Romans, which, joined to tlo no less valiant army of Gallicia, will make the Peach know and fed, even in their own country, the h. rrors they have inflicted upon this loyal nation. Im pass it upon your countrymen, that those formidable euernic, whom they have to encounter, are brave only in attacking women, children, and defenceless towns, sod cont nually fly frcm the presence of an equal fo!1 e, a truth of which you have just had a proof 1.,•%5e not a moment in making a general urniament. 4e delay of this work for a day, an hour, an instant, THE EVE47N-Q, BAR• Introposate unfavowAly with spa to the **lei 1 mainsheet - 0f the awe tgiwi.

Ile inhabitants of the . frontier towns are sending into the interior their money and moveables, being apprehensive bf an irruption on our part. In the en virons of Junquera we have 12,000 men, consisting of Miquelets, and the second battalion of the Volun teers of Barcelona, under the command of Dot Nar• ciso Lavalete. LONDON. SPANISH PAPERS. Spanish Journals to the 28th ult. have arrived, and bring some satisfactory accounts of the military ope rations in Catalonia. The patriotic force was hourly increasing, and by this time it is probable the French are completely shut up in Barcelona. At the date of the latest accounts, the excursions of the garrison did cot exceed a league from thence. Several sharp skir mishes, almost under the walls, had taken place, in which the advantage was on the side of the Catalans. We have also the satisfaction of learning, that no rein forcements to the French had passed the Eastern Py renees. A corps of 10,000 men, destined to enter Spain from Rousillon, had made a retrograde move ment, deterred, no doubt, by a strong body of Mique lets, who occupied the important post•of Junquera. Of this gallant and very useful description of force, upwards of 17,000 were in arms in Catalonia. The Corunna Paper contains a very spirited and appropriate address from Lieutenant-Colonelemenot, one of the British Officers attached to the army of General BLAKE, to the inhabitants of Biscay. He speaks with a confidence, derived we presume from the Spanish Commanders, of a certain and speedy defeat and expulsion of the enemy. VICH, OCTOBER 15. The English and our brave Claros operate a con siderable diversion on the coast of Roussillon. The inhabitants, notwithstanding the oppression they labour under, are perfectly aware of the impolitic proceed ing o f their tyrant. We shall soon learn what force they are llecting at Roussillon. We are at present assured that the greater part will be Italians. A letter dated from the camp at St. Geromino on the 30th ult. says At midnight the 3d regiment of Lerida marched along the strand of Barcelona as far as the other side of St. Adrian, where the enemy had an encampment. The regiment of Manressa passed the Besos between Santa Coloma and Saint Adrian. Three companies of Vich, and the Sd re giment of Lerida, formed the column of reserve.— Before day-break the 3d of Lerida discharged a volley into the enemy's camp, and without giving them time to fire a single shot, rushed on them with the bayonet. We do not know the exact amount of the enemy's loss ; but as they had no time to prepare for resist ance, and were surprised in their very huts, they were completely routed. The Miquelets of the 3d of Le rida and their bayonets were covered with blood, and each of them declared that he killed four, five, or six Frenchmen. ," The 3d of Manressa, on their side, discharged a volley at the advanced post of the enemy on the other side of the Besos : and the French behaved in so cowardly a style, that every man of them fled as far as St. Martin, without firing a single shot. A company of Vich being ordered to assist the 3d of Lerida, they completely drove the enemy from their encampments, and the Miquelets have returned loaded With knapsacks, various articles of clothing, and bis cuit. The enemy had from lSto 22 men and three horses killed, and lost two military chests and 15 muskets. We took two prisoners. Our loss consisted of three wounded, one of them so badly, that he-is since dead. The enemy have completely disappeared. During the whole of the day there has been a firing heard in the direftion of Moncada ; and there also they have been driven from their camp, and their huts set on fire. • a It ought to be observed, that during the whole of the day the French were unable to make any use of their cannon." It is mentioned in another private letter, that the enemy had made a sally, with the intention of pills. ging the villages of St. Clemente and Villaclecans, and that they - had been beaten and driven back with considerable loss. • A letter from Puigcerda, and another from Am purdan, agree in stating, that the Miquelets who were raised in Roussillon, with the promise of three pesetas a day, and the booty of Catalonia, have been basely deceived, and conveyed to the north in chains. CORUNNA, OCTOBER 27. Yesterday morning disembarked 9000 of the Bri tish army, under the command of Sir David Baird. They consist of sharp-shooters, light troops, and ar tillery • all good-looking men, highly disciplined and particularly neat in their clothes and accoutrements. It must be acknowledged that the British nationbave in every line, arrived at an admirable filigree of per. 'Section ; and that the other nations are still a great way behind them. They formed their battalions to the sound of mesic of a very warlike description, and marched off in the best order to Polloza. RUSSIA AND SWEDEN. The armistice lately concluded by these two Powers has been of very short duration. Letters brought by the Gottenburgh Mails, of which two ar rived this morning, announce, that on the 27th ult. it was violated by the Russians. A sanguinary con flict followed, of which the particulars are not yet perfectly known—That is, the Swedes were worsted. We would be no way surprized should it be proved that the armistice eras concluded by the Russians, with the perfidious design of taking advantage of the unsuspecting Swedes on the first favourable mo ment.—This is the only important article of gene brought by these Mails. GOTTENBURGH, NOVEMBER 7. The armistice ht Finland was broken by the Rus sians on the 27th ult. and a severe engagement en sued, the result of which is not yet known, but it is feared the Swedes have been worsted. The Lug is returned to Stockholm. STOCKHOLM, NOVEMBER s. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sudermania has received the following Report : al The expected large convoy was first descried from the steeples of this town, the day before yesterday, at two o'clock in• the afternoon. The gun boats had been lying ready in the road since an early hour in the morning, but a - hard rile springing up, the gbn. boats were compelled to leave the road and put into port. The men remained on board, and the gale abating at twelve o'clock at midnight, the gunboats went out again to meet the convoy, which had not yet passed Dragoe : at break of day the gun boats fornied a line off Dragoe, and dispersed some Danish gun boats and small vessels which had gathered round a ship of the convoy, which had taken the ground. —The gunboats were ordered to assist the above ship in getting off the ground ; in doing which, they were employed until yesterday at four o'clock in the I afternoon, when the Danish gun-boats came out from Dragoe, .Copenhagen, end other places, and formed kit Hiss opposite to otup, with the merlon of twelve of than. which the Africts; an a i t I ordered but perceiving Without any assistance , 'sail to Malmo 'Commander of falling into the k soon after fallen and rejoined our P ara— tic's were not be saved. a I this day of the convoy =ZS . feo port. they would ha\ blown close in with the Danish shore.
