Extract of a letter from Segovia, dated September 21 :—Not having any particular engagement till the return of his Majesty to Madrid, I am induced to make an excursion for a short time in the vicinity of the me tropolis. So I put my alforcas on my horse, with the few necessaries required for the road, and started for the Escurial. The only object of notice there was large droves of turkeys, one cavana, or flock, consisted of one thousand, driven by four men, with dogs—they de manded 2s. to $3. each. In the morning of the 18th, I was delighted to see a fine regiment of French infantry, the 85th, march in from Corunna. The officers complained much of the fare they got passing through the country. Afterwards I visited the Palace. The Royal apartments are all covered with tapestry, the manufacture of Madrid ; it is in high condition, and only one degree inferior to the Gobelins. The subjects are various, mostly embracing Spanish amusements; and the characters of the people in the various piovinces are well pourtrayed. There is but little furniture; and the small windows give the rooms a gloomy aspect. There is also a gallery and the battle of St. Quintin painted in fresco,lso feet long; a most interesting picture. Afterwards I visited the church and convent of St. Lorenzo, 700 feet long by 500 feet, and the height nearly GO. This forms part of, the palace built in the shape of a gridiron, the machine on which they. tell you St. Lorenzo suffered, after the battle of St. Quintin. _ _ A friar conducted me to a small cabinet and shevVed me many valuable relics; in a large glass-case was con tained part of the Cross. Ili another was one of Herod's victims; this little innocent was curiously wrapped up in a costly garment, which he unfolded with great care —it appeared to have been embalmed. On a pedestal stood one of the water-pots from Canx, and many other rare gems. The library is extensiv e and valuable, the manuscripts of the Four Gopels a: e written in gold letters; a work of the eleventh century. The pictures that most claimed my attention were the Last Supper, by Titian; a Holy Family, by Raphael, called La Perla, which was restored by France at the peace, and I was told this picture belonged to Charles I. and was sold by Cromwell. The Pantheon, or receptacle of the Royal family, contains the remains of six Kings, with their Queens, in massive marble sarcophagi placed in catacombs oppo site to each other, and there are also many more ready to receive their prey. The situation is fine. • There is some pretty wood in front, and Madrid is seen twenty [eight miles off. The back ground is a barren lefty 11'4ticr, S3.7,VE.'*-PE mountain, called the Guadarama, extending distance. From the Escurial I went to. &pin; Villa Caqine; from this place the Marquis La ' sent his Mayoral to conduct me to Avila ; we t' a near way through the woods helon s jog to ti,e C, Polentino ; they are the largest range of covers seen in the Castilles, and abouLA with game, boar, wolf, fox, and deer. Avila is a curious Nl , orish town, built on a rock of grturite, with 80 projecting towers. Tae cathedral is a very fine part of it ; I think it was a Moorish mosque ; there are good specimens of painted glas. The city contains eight parish churches, and sixteen convents, a considerable woollen factory, and there is an excellent market, abounding with fruit in the greatest plenty, and very cheap. Melons id. per lb. grapes Id. peaches Id. wheat 3s. 10d. to 4s. for SOlb's. bailey 2s. to 3s. for 601br. oats are very little gtown in Spain. A large cow may he bought for 20 dollars, and an ox for 30. The average price of a she: s is two dollars ; and you may at this moment buy twenty cavanas el Merino sheep for two dollars per head t and I have given sixty guineas for a ram of a spurious Merino breed in Bath. On reachhig Segovia, the city was thronged. with 2,603 troops, comman.'ed by the Cura Nlerico. I never saw such men, except those commanded by the Baron Doles. The Curate is about five feet eight inches, very dark complexion, and wears a black frock, with a cocked hat. I called on my ft knd at the Alcazar, he was shut up with seventy other persons of the best families in Sego via, merely for giving their opinions; they were sum moned together in my pi esence by an officer, and a de mand made by the Cura Merino, of one thousand pounds sterling, or, 100,000 teals for the use of his troops; besides this, his men are quartered in their houses. The first object in Segovia that attracts your notice is the aqueduct. It contains upwards of 150 arches; it is 700 yards long, and in one place 90 yards in height; it is perfect, built of granite, without mortar, in the time of Hannibal, as is supposed, and conveys the water to the city. There is a very considerable cloth manufactory, well furnished with every kind of machine, equal to anything I have seen in England. The Government has been at a very considerable expense in bringing the valious ma chines from Sedan and the Low Countries, and they I have several very excellent workmen from France and Liege, to keep the machinery in orders. SP,4IA. BATTLE IN ESTREMADURA. TALAVERA. OCTOBER 4. Brigadier Larocliejaquelin, after tour months constant . marching and very painful services, rested lor •ome days on the banks cf the Tvgus, until he should pass that river to proceed on Zuxillo, and attack the Constitu tional troops of Estreinadui a. On the 29. h of Sei.tem ber, he learned that the ConsTitutionalists «rte moving on the Tagus, and he marched immediately s.ith the Ist Regiment of Hussars and the Ist Light. In the even ing be arrived on the Tagus, and was informed that the Constitutionalists had been endeavouring to pass it, and had been repulsed by General Quesada's advanced guard stationed a the ford. Next day the General was joined by the 2d battalion of the 7th Light, and the 7.h regi ment of Horse Chasseurs. He ordered the rise- to be passed, which was executed by the, cavali y and the ari tillery at the ford, and by the 7th Light by the pontoon. The enemy occupied a valley with a vet y na: row and rapid outlet, the defence-ot which was e.iFy. The Ge neral having caused this position to be wined by the Voltigeurs of the 7th, the enemy did wit attempt to maintain it, and the brigade, after (hiving before them a few posts, debouched into the extensive plain on the road to Truxiilo. For the first time since the opening of the campaign, the brigado had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy ranged in order of battle in the plain. Gene: al Palencia had drawn up in the plain eight fine squadron F, consist ing of cuirassiers and heavy cavalry. His right was protected by high and precipitous heights, where he had posted a considerable number of infantry in ambuscade, among the almost inaccessible rocks. On his left he had two battalions of infantry, protected by a deep ravine; and three pieces of artillery defenOed the front of his line. In this position lie offered battle to General Larochejaquelin. • Emboldened by the superiority of his numbers, and persuaded that our light cavalry could not compete with his cuirassiers and heavy cavalry, he had forgotten that he bad to do with Frenchmen. _ _ General Larochejaquelin, having reconnoitred the enemy's position, ordered Colonel Lambot to CAI I y with the greatest celerity the heights which covere ! his right. 'fire Colonel executed this order with such vigour and promptitude, that notwithstanding the esti eine difficul ties of the ground, he socn gained the summit of the position in which the infantry in ambuscade kept up a Close fire. Though he had at first only about a score of carbineers with him, he made them charge the enemy, clambering over rocks ; and they put to flight a whole battalion, by which they had for a moment been almost surrounded. General Larochejaquelin viewed the field• of battle with an attentive eye, and was waiting for the 7th light becoming disposable, that he might direct it against the enemy's left flank, while he, probably 101 l atient of inaction, broke his order of battle, and formed in co lumns to advance to the attack through a confined position. Tl.e General I•erceivir'g this manoeuvre, by which the ene'ny lest the superiority of the extensiorr of his line, did not hesitate to order an immediate charge. The Constitutional cavalry engaged with great order and coolness; they relied on their cuirassiers. Their sabres were crossed, and the fighting was man to man.
