The following report relates to a Successful skirmidi in the neighbOurhoed of Barcelona : LISBON, FEB. 17. Although we have not received any positive infor _ respecting the important events which may be expected to have taken place in the present state of affairs, yet all the reports which were yesterday cur rent, tend to Confirm the well grounded hope that our independance is not exposed to any danger. We un derstand that a powerful succour is to be sent to Spain from Gre-At Britain ; it is also said that Cadiz is oc cupied by a sufficient force, composed of English and Spanish troops, to secure it against any successful at .tack on , the part of the enemy. • To the General commanding the mops at Esparaguera • EXCELLENT STR— Agreeable to the orders of your Ex cellency to attack the enemy, I this morning commenced it at Sinn Perpetui, gaining my object so fir, that out of four . hawked= who occupied that post, only two remained, the re mainder being either killed, wounded, or made prisoners. Just as this action bid terminated, the Division of PORTA arrived, which, on account of the distance, could not come up 'boner; and both of us agreeing on our plan, we attacked the troops at Mohr, Pox TA taking the road to the left, and I that of the right, the happy result of which was the complete defeat of the enemy, who saved only between 4 and :300 men, having lost in lined, wounded, and prisoners, to the number of 900 men, two pieces of cannon, some carts, one pair of colour; and a quantity of baggage. .Among the prisoners is the General Commandant of the division, a Colonel of th 6 cuirassiers, who, with the other prisoners, I hairy the honour to soul your Excellency. We this morning received German Papers to the 27th ult. Their contents are not of much interest: The following private letter from the Banks of the Elbe, contains the only intelligence worth commu nicating : BANKS OF THE ELBE, JAN. 26. The rumour of Napoleon's intended marriage to a Saxnn Princess is now contradicted in an indirect official way in the Hamburgh Correspondenten, and other German Newspapers. The corps of Oudinot, which was to have occupied the territories of Hanover and Hambuigh, has re ceived contrary orders, and is to remain fur the pre sent in the South of Germany. The French force remaining in the territories of the Confederation of the Rhine, and in other conquered German countries, not yet disposed of, mill amount to more than 100,000 men, and this gives rise to a variety of conjectures. _ " The moment the different Chiefs send me an account of our less, as well as of the different individuals who haVe distinguished themselves, I shall transmit it to your Exeellency, for his K.- }nty's information. (Signed) " Semanat, Jan. 21,1810. Marquis de CAMPO Valtln." This day we received Letters and Papers from l'ortcgal to the 18th, brought to Portsmouth by the Nom. In this vessel the Hon. Mr. VILLIERS, the British Minister to Portugal, has come home.to Eng land. Dispatches have also been received from Lord WELLIKGTON. A number of persons assert that in !ess than a twelvemonth war will break out between France and Russia, on account of the disposition of the latter power towards the Poles in the Duchy of Warsaw.— Many, well•informed persons seem to give cr.3lit to this conjecture. The prices of colonial products continue to rise in Sweden, Denmark, Hamburgh, and all the North of Germany, in proportion as the opinion of a rup ture between Great Britain and America gains more ground. The Danes have this last season gained vast sums by the free importation of American products into their ports ; and the speculations formed between them and the Russians on one part, and the Americans on the other, for the next year, are such that the mar_ kets of the continent will be so overstocked with Ame rican coffee, sugar, indigo, &c. that it will scarce be possible to dispose of the whole quantity in some years. The Prince Ernest packet has arrived at Falmouth from Jamaica, in six weeks, with mails and passen- 1 gers.

An Officer belonging to a regiment quartered at , Guernsey, was lately brought before the Royal Court, charged with hiving committed a rape upon the per. son of an old woman, upwards of sixty years of age, and was fully committed to Cornet Castle for trial. General OSTEN, who was second in command a Flushing, Colonel MADIER, and another French oft ficer, prisoners at Lichfield, broke their parole on Thursday, the Ist of this month, and had taken their measures so well, that, from a letter which has been since received at the latter place, it appears that they landed in Holland within 46 hours afterwards; Their escape is supposed to have been effected: by means of smugglers, with wlprq,ilae General was a favou rite, and two of whom ar* said to have met hit kirminghasp, and conducted him to the sea-coast,— , His daughter had been with him from Flushing, and was sent off, about a fortnight previouiy, with tli‘ General's heavy baggage. Monsieur Jour:, Paymaster of the forces at Flushing, also got away from Lich field about a week before the General's departure. h is probable.that General OSTEN provided for his escape previously to his being taken prisoner ; and, whatever may be thought of the breach of his parole, it has certainly teen managed adroitly, and in an officer like inan 1 _ 7 ( FIRE • ttirday a tremendous fi re broke out in` he il at corn-of ~a Mr. HARRISON, baker, of Gateshead,, mirk* minslyanicated to the dwelling-house of Mr.H. where it, wail itself with such rapidity that the fie mily had scans time to, save their lives ;. happil4 however, they all escaped ; but of the (=ion 06 : house not a single article was caved. . • .-: 1 t);0164 ~iE # NQUTRY: 5 .

What tune dbes your Landslip inuigine the preliminory lint s of Lille and Lielkeinhoeik might have, required, supposing your Lordship to have arrived wishing four days at nantvliet f—.t is rather diffichlt to answer that question, because I was not per fecter/ 'lnterned what was the state of Liiloand Liefeenslioeik,oe what garrison was in Lilo tiro Liefkenshoeik, or whit was the ' natont oil the communicatioas. •• - _ • • .. , Were the military opiniuns delivered to the Coroinandee In - Chief, and by himed GOverument, submitted to yOur Lordship, and at what time?--I really do not recollect at what time ; I saw theist prohably at the time they were first de ivered. Hark your Lonlehaseany communication with the General OS. cers who had given thdr opinions on the subject of those opinions? -1 hid sonic. • , . .N% your Lordship have the goodneis to state veith which Of ficers, and whit was the nature of those conversations ? Ile na ture of the conveisatiens were very general; they were nut sub- , mined to me for opinion; toe papers were submitted 'to the Ca. binet: I had geheral conversations, from being acqtraitnesi With , all the Officernbut nothing more. I Did your Lordship ask stir any information respecting the diffi culties of the enterprize which are alluded to in tuosc opinions? —1 do not perfectly understand the cnestion. Had your Lordship any conversation with Sir David Dundee Upon the subject tit his opinion ?-1 had none general converse teon with hint. • From the result of thoie conversations did your Lordship no. derstaad that sir David let tides had changed his opinion with re. sem to the did:cultics that he apprehended would attend the exe cution of this project ?—I had no-reason to suppose that be had changed any opinions he might have Liven. I Dtd your Lordship require any more detailed explanation of the general difficulties stated in those opinions to attend this opera doe ?—I do not know what particular difficulties are alluded to; the opinion of Sir David Dundas I understood to be direeted to the preference between two different modes of operation. .1 Does your Lordship recollect the exeression in Cohmel Got. don's opinion, that the Expedition by the Scheldt, though prefer- i able to the other modes, was a desperate eutererite ?—I do not recollect that expression. Ido not recollect particularly Colonel 1 Gordon's report at this moment. Your Lordship states in your narrative, that you yOurstlf enter tained great doubts of the practicability of this enterprize until you had seen the opinions of the Admiralty; will your Lordship state upon what those doubts were grounded ?—They were doubts of a general nature. I had always understood that the mov ing a very large fleet upon the enemy's coast, and to enter a navi. nation that was not perfectly known, was a very difficult enter prize, and I had great doubts whether it was probable they would arrive within a very short time at their destination; those doubts I were removed by the opinion giVen by the Leeds of the Admi ralty. I had also entertained ctruidereble doubts with respect to the practicability of landing artillery, cavalry, &c. upon the hanks of the Scheidt near nantvhet, but they %vete removed also by the • same opinion. Were those the only causes your Lordsinp had to doubt of the practicability of this enterprize ?—1 . believe the doubts stated in my paper are confined entirely to the progress of the armament • up the selieldt. In poin of fact, was that the only ground your Lordship, as a military nun, had to doubt of the probability of succeeding in this rnterprize ? —There were merry other circumstances of doubt certainly. For instance, whether all the inteldeince was strictly true; whether it turned out that there st ns such an absence of force; whether the state of Antwerp turned out as described in that intelligence; certainly they were all subjects of doubt • if trey had all turned out favourably I shored certainly have had a confident opinion as to the success of the enterprize; but there was great doubt whether they would all turn out to be perfectly favourable. Then your Lordship - did, at the time you sailed, entertain con siderable doubt whether that intormation wes or was not to be relied upon ?—Tbat is not who' 1 meant at all to say. What I meant to say was, that it might be very doubtful whether the en terprize would sueceed e benitioe it required the concurrence of so Many favourable circumstances.! &emit mean to express any doub: • as to the truth of the inetnigenoen het it was a cencder:.tion to imake use doubt whether tit wouid peeved or not; whether all ,these circumstances would tuft one exact!) . as was. wished. 1 , . Did your I.oreship conceive that the success of this enterprise depended entirely on the c'iociiirineirais . of ai, great many cireume stances.% hick in t heir own nature were veep sioubtful ?-1 apetre- I b e nd that almost al, en•erpriees in war rinst be subject to great doubt; it was impossible to know beforehand how all those cir sointstances would, turn out. ... Did the mil lacy opinions suggest co doubts to your Lordship other than those which you have stated ? f hey might suggest some doubts, but I do not exactly know of what description, they represented the enterprize as very difficu'o, which undoubtedly I conceived it to be. It is said in the report of Colonel Cordon " that this would he a desperate enterprize cannot be doulned, and that in the attempt whether succtesful or otherwise, a very laiee proportion of our naval and military means would be put to imminent hated:" did that opinion suggest no doubts to Out Lordship's mind which in your oyielon required further discussion !---1 did not conceive. that either the naval or the military means of the country were exposed by, the Expedition to imminent hazard. Did your Lordship understand that the possession of Fluelang was necessary to the ulterior objects of the Etpedition ?—ldid. Will your I.ordship have the goodness tp state what nurnbee of troops were destined to the siege of flushing and the occupation of Walcheren ?—Thc corps of troops in the first instance consisted of twelve thousand men under Sir Eyre Coot! that went cumber of -teen were destined to be disembarked at ti an tvliet for the attack of Anttlferp ?
