The Commander Don Miguel Diaz, after hating combated the French in La Mancha on the 4th Jay, learned that in Infantes they had SOO foot and 50 horse, whc two days before had fought with the party of D. Francisco Abad. In consequence, he appeared before that tows on the 7th ; and though the enemy were superior in numbers, they fled without having recourse to arms. The Spaniards entered Infante: amidst the acclamations of the inhabitants ; collected the arms, ammunition, and other military effects abandoned by the enemy, and destroyed the fortifi cations which they had constructed. In several intercepted letters from General Belliard to Berthier, of date the sth, 6th and 7th July, he speaks of various patriotic parties, of which even the Spanish Government have no knowledge from any other source. He speaks of their having appeared at TQrres, Bastan, S. Martin de la Vega, Sesena, the bridge of the Guadarama, between Waha . learnero and Mostoles and at other places in the province of Madrid. Ifradds, that the vicinity of Somosierra was infested by: thet•Patriots, and that a number of their parties had ttnited at Riaza and Sepulveda. On the 9th of the same month they attacked, at •Almazan, 1,500 French of the garrison of Sore.— The piny of the curate Mena, supported by the 2d battalion of the Numantines, consisting of 500 recruits, maintained a combat of seven hours ; but the superi ority of the enemy obliged them to retire, after having canted them a loss of 200 in killed and wounded : the loss of the pat.riots was 50. On the 31st July, the curate Urena, in die vicinity of Visillo, attacked 50 French, who escorted 50 cart loads of lead ; he killed 18 of them, and took the lead. The garrlsons of Manzanares, Valdepenas, Santa Elena, and Carolina, sallied forth in quest of Urena, ..tiJ frAind him on the 2d of August, united with D. F. A bad, their joint force being 250 horse and 150 foot. The action lasted 6 hours, and the enemy re tired tinder t ivour of the darkness of the night, leav ing 70 killed on the field, among whom was a Colo nel. The loss of the Patriots in these two actions was of small amount. The Gazettes of Seville for the month of July make mention of the parties of ,Francisco Diaz, called el Cojo, who scoured the province of Cordoba ; of that of Salvador de Sierra, in the district of Ecija ; of an other, in Palmo del Rio ; and of others which had skirmished with the troops of Sebastian, in Berja. On the 7th Augus:, the Commandant Don Antonio Bram, arrivtd at Badajoz, h..ving, with his party of 200 men, beaten an equal force in the vicinity of Montoro. He killed 85 of the,enemy, took 12 pri soners, besides 61,000 reals, 400 sheep, 24 arrobas of balls, and 18 of gunpowder ; Bueno lost one man, and three horses. About the 25th of the same month several carts, loaded with silver, set out from VAlladolid for France escorted by 200 men ; but the Patriotsattackedibem at a short distance from the town, and obliged them to retreat. In consequence, a reinforcement of 409 men marched out, but arrived too late. About the same time the patriots took thirty French sol diers and two officers, oa tEe public walk at Valla dolid, and not far from Ciudad Rodrigo, in a country occlpied by the army of Massena, 100 dragooqs.es .corting three carriages,richly laden, also fell into the binds of the Patriots. Massena was in consequence obliged to detach tour regiments of dragoons to guard the f;ajd from Ciudad Rodrigo to. Salatilauca. in the same month, D.

In consequence of ,the Proclamation of General Count Friant, a very strict search was made in the warehouses of this town. The French troops occu pied all the posts ; they were placed at the corner of streets, and remained under arms all the time that the visit lasted. There was not the least disorder, ; the police had taken the requisite precautions. Some very considerable depots of,Coloni-al and English merchan dize were discovered.

We have just been informed that the Russians have proposed an armistice to the Turks, but this intelli gence requires confirmation. What, perhaps, has given rise to this report is, counter orders, which we are assured, have been given to the reinforcements that were marching to the banks of the Danube. VIENNA, OCTOBER Ito. We have just learnt, that the Turks have bombar ded Odessa, a commercial town upon the Black Sea, and did it great damage. A number of warehouses filled with goods were entirely destroyed. We expect more circumstantial details of the losses which this town has suffered. We are assured, that it is stipulated in a particular article of the Treaty of Peace of 1.509, that all Frerch born subjects will be obliged to quit the Austrian ser vice.— Those who are pensioned by this Power will equally receive their pensions. PATRIOTIC PARTIES OF GUERRILL4L The acts of intrepidity and valour with which the patriotic parties scatte,.ed aver the whole Peninsula incessantly annoy and slowly annihilate their invaders, are so multiplied, that it is difficult to give an account of them. Of many we are ignorant, or only imper fectly know them, because they take place in the cen tre of the provinces occupies by the enemy ; and be cause the chiefs of the Guerrillas are not very anxious to give an account of their operations. 13 ut it it is neither jitst to the public, and especially to our trans-atlantic brethren, to deprive them of in formation so interesting—nor to the author of these exploits to defraud them, by concealment, of the re putation which they merit. We have, therefore, col lected the following summary details, which are ar ranged in the order of time, for the purpose of giving a specimen of that mode of warfare which is carried on in the heart of the Peninsula. On the 16th June, Don Francisco Espoz y Mina in tercepted, between Tafalia and Pamplona, a courier, escorted by 140 men. They were all made prisoners, with the exception of . a soldier and postillion, who were killed on the spot. The same Espoz, on the 19th, with 500 men, attacked a numerous French de tachment, which escorted a very considerable convoy, and part of the garrison of Mequinenza, made priso ners. The combat lasted two hours. He could not liberate the Spanish soldiers ; but he took some pri sonersand horses, a hag of letters, a great quantity of anununitiok 700 swords, and 300 infantry Sabres. From the 30th June to the 3d of July, the party of Espoz y Mina ,Isiits in constant action : 360 French, who had taken pos;,in the Sierra of Maiz, were only able to open to diattelres a passage, after a contest of five hours, in consequence of the ammunition of the patriots being spiot f but the Latter took 47 priso; ners, among whom was the Commander ; and •the . loss of the enemy, including killed and wounded, amounted to 155 men. On the 3d July, 500 French having marched from Pamplona, Espoz with 700 of his men fdreed them to retreat towards Noain ; but. the enemy having re. ceived considerable reinforcestents,.he retired to Gue rendiain, with the loss done killed and nine wounded; the French lost 23 killed, and a iiii;ntit7 of atninuni tion was taken from that. ."
