He had been condemned as an officer, and as a man, by the gallant General, without to answer that condemnation.

About noon on the 21st, the nag -staff was shot away, and then there was a general cry for the hoisting of the English colours.= It is but justice to the soldiers and sailors who were in the fort to state, that no men ever displayed mare zeal and gallantry— their conduct excited the admiration of every one who velment ed It. The fire kept up by the French wu so destructive; that it was necessary to evacuate the fort about noon on the 22d, after con siderable loss had been sustained. The loss sustained by the British was upwards of GO men killed and wounded; and among the former a meritorious officer, Major Ler Laza, of the Engineers. The British Navy hzs also sustained some casualties, but not to any ettent. We do not hear that they have lost any officer. The loss of this fort, it is app rzhended, will enable the French very much to impede our pavage by sea to the watering place at the Isla—but it is the opinion of the Naval Officers, that no impe diment they can raise will effectually prevent our vessels from obtaining the water. Another seri(us inconvenience that will result from the loss of Fort Matagorda, and our leaving that side of the water, its, that it will enable the French, partially, to bombard Cadiz, and to render our anchorage-room very confined. It is intended, however, that the shore from Cadiz to the Pur.tal, and from the Punta! to Fort St. Fernando, shall be lined with mortar batteries and guns, to meet the enemy, in case they should throw up works for the purpose above-mentioned.

The Serjeant at Arms had also been served with a fresh process. After a few obser vations, both these notices were referred to the Com mittee, who are expected to make their general report this day. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Last night the of Henry VIII. was got up with great magnificence of scenery and decoration, as well as propriety richness of costume. Many of the sentences which bore allusion to the political occurrences of the passed unnoticed, till King Henry came to these lines " I had thought I bad men of some understanding " And wisdom of my council, but I find none." These words were received with a burst of acclama tion, which interrupted the performance; and several other passages of a similar nature were afterwards greeted in like manner. OFFICIAL. " The voice of reason has been heard by the loyal Alpujarrenos and Costenos. The country called upon them for help : they flew to her assistance, and are now In the field, embodied under the orders of the gallant and loyal Spaniard, D. Ossorio Calbache. " The Inhabitants of Almeria who, yielding to the treacherous suggestions of the satellites of the tyrant, languished itf a disgraceful apathy, no sooner sari their countrymen shake off the yoke, and awake from the lethargy in which they Mere plunged, than they proclaimed their beloved FERDINAND VII. hastened to the temple of the LORD, channted the 7e Deum for thanksgiving, and, ashamed of their indolence, caused all the papers, orders, and decrees, of the Usurper, to be burned by the common crier in their public squares. The leaders of the French party were ap prehended, and will shortly receive the recompence due to their egotism and treachery. 4. While the brave Alpujarrenos were thus entitling . themselves to the public esteem, General O'Donnel, I who has the Supreme Command in Catalonia, de- taching, by an equ..lly boll and masterly manesavre,l a division against Vill.ifranca, under General D. Joan Caro, one of the brothers of the gallant Marquis tie la Romana, succeeded in cutting off and taking 900 men of the enemy's, who had been left in that quarter to keep up the communication between Barcelona ani the enemy's division in the environs of Tarrago na, Valls and Reus ; and it is hoped, that l at this mo ment, one thousand more have been intercepted who were in Ingualada, and two thousand who were sta tioned at Manresa. " The French in Arragon evacuated Teruel on the morning of the Ist instant ; and the immortal Arra gonese confidently expect again to restore their coun try to independence. But do not we find, in this very district, the most convincing proofs of the rodoman tades of our enemies ? •6 After an infamous Proclamation of the French Commandant in Ronda, and which was answered by the Spanish Commandant of Orvera,the enemy,on the 11th, detached 1000 foot and 200 horse against our loyal Mountaineers ; and, although they succeeded in possessing themselves of the towns of Montejaque and Benaocaz, where they burned a few houses, plundered the churches, and killed a poor old man (the only ex ploits which those Barbarians can perform, while they are giving out, that that they wish for nothing but to make us happy), those gallant defenders of the country, to the number of 200, having occupied the avenues to both towns, put them to the most shame ful flight, after six hours fighting, and a most brisk and well directed fire, and killed about 30 of them, exclusive of upwards of 100 wounded, most of whom, we learn from good authority, have since died, six officers and the Commandant, Count Laussaia, eluded. " Those in Medina Sidonia and Chiclana, seeing themselves without means of subsistence, also at tempted, but in vain, to return to Tarifa, for the purpose of relieving their wants. That city has shut up her gates to the enemy ; and, supported by a Istrong detachment of British troops and several ships of war of that nation, she keeps her provisions for the supply of the defenders of the Isle of Leon and Cadiz. A small number of armed Patriots who guard the de files and passes of those mountains, with a gallantry peculiar to those who defend their Country, King and Religion, drove back two hundred foot anal a still greater body of horse, who, in the confidence of their pride, were coming to levy fresh contributions upon a city which they had offered to protect. " Lastly, on the 18th, marched out of Ronda for Moron 500 of the enemy's troops, foot and horse, who, on their passage through Montellano, Za ra, Algodonalles, and Puerto Espartero, were so com pletely.defeated by the gallant patriots under the corn mand of D. Andres Ortis de Zarate, that scarcely 50 men could reach the place of their destination, after sending their many wounded to Ronda under an in considerable escort, and leaving on the field 150 muskets and other articles, together with a number of horses, which have been picked up by our Patriots. 44 Spaalsb Lbws before Gibraltar, April 19, 1810." We stated yesterday the substance of the dispatches received from Cadiz.
