(Signed) " matron BELGRANO. ii H e a4-quarers,TUCUM3ll, Rd May, 1817." REPORT OF COMMANDER MADRID. 4,4 TARIM, APRIL 58, SBIT. " On the lith, in the afternoon, l appeared before the Gallinazo Gate, to the west of this town, having completely surprized the enemy, who had never per ceived our march. A league before I arrived at the above point, I sera forward Captain Toro with his, company, together with Captains Cater and Carrasco, with their respective companies of Ttitraiiiri Dul a goons, Captain Rniz of the Gaudies of Santa Victoria, with 40 men, giving them orders to take post at the Carreras Fields, for the purpose of preventing the junction ot the enemy's cavalry, posted in the Valley of Conception, five leagues distant fronc the town. — As soon as the enemy perceived my approach with .aeon pieces of artillery, he sallied out to meet me with 200 men. when I instantly ordered the heights ot San Juan. situated to the north of the town, to be occu pied by one ot our parties. A smart action ensued, the result of which was, that the Royalists retreated to their intrenchments, which they had previously well fortified, according to the orders transmitted to them by the Spanish Command-r in Chief, General lima, leaving three killed belinid them. As soon as We had mounted our artillery, our fire opened upon them, and in a short time we were tortunate enaegli to dislodge the enemy from the opposite bank of the river which separated us. I then sent in an Ilititil4- lion of surrendry to the Commander of the tawii, copy 01 which, and of the answer, I now inclose.— Having read the latter, 1 ordered Captain Garcia, ot the 23 Hussars, to march towards the heights ot San Juan, and form a junction with the party already posted there, in order to sustain it by every possible Means. Captain Otero was directed to dismount and mite on the bank of the river, whilst another party with a piece of artillery, under the command of Cap tain Segovia, advanced towards the suburbs on the West. These movements were all executed in a rapid and brilliant manner, and the enemy soon tom. pelted to abandon his front intienchments and retreat to the main squ..re, whither they were followtal by our parties. Night having conic on, and learning the too advanced positions occupied by our troops, I marched up with my small body of reserve as tar as the Carreras field. Fearful of any confusion during the night, I ordered the advances to tall Mick all; morning and occupy-onr first position at the Galli nazis Gate. At day-break, I ordered Captain - Otero' again to occupy the height' of San Juan; wind pushed an advance into the streets ot San Francisco and San Augustin, all which was tucceratully done. I then proceeded is person to the position held by Cap'a'n Otero, and thence dispatched two companies to due lodge the enemy from the fortifications be had raised in the chapel ot St. Roque, and the strongest position he held: The charge was so bold and rapid that, notwithstanding the heavy fire they had to encounter, eurpeople effected a lodgment among some out dwellings, ten or twelve yards distant from the said lortificatiesa. Our arutiery was then directed against the Chapel and the Hall of the Municipality with the greatest success, but when, at nine o'clock, I wak, pinking my preparations to attack the enemy's in treachnients at the puha of the bayonet, a part of the , enemy's cavalry, with a small division of infantry, appeared on the plain of La Tablada in our right.— bly attention being called to this unexpected nerve pent, T arranged my disposable troops and marched forward to meet them, at the moment they were Making a charge upon us under the cover of a heavy fire. I ordered the charge equally to be sounded, ' together with the signal ot no minter, when a very -warm action endued. The enemy left 60 men on the odd, and among them two officers; 40 prisoners also tell into our hands,- all their armament, and a • *considerable nunsber of horses, ky As Mho as this objeet•had-been attained, I re turned to ley old position, and sent in tp the Com mander alibi town fear of the prisoners "'had i tis t made, in order that they might inform him of ear fate his cavalry had metwiih,as well as of the brave manner iw . whieit • nett defenders of their country fought.. I then made a second intimation to him, through the medium of Captain Garcia, and hat deemed it most prudent not to risk the consequences o t.as a ssault. )tie therefore determined so march out all the fuzee he had lefts via- 614. men, duet Juseutsaant.Colonels, including the Commander, three Catstaise, two Adjutants, four Lieutenants, and eight Ensigns, all of whons.grounded their arms, and de livesed up as prisoners.

The enemy, however, soon rallied and ' retutned to the attack, pushing Chasseurs at the head of his column, and a piece of artillery in the centre. The other two remaining pieces were mounted on the heights of Chepe, from whence we were exposed to a galling fire. This movement on the part of the enemy, phinly indicated to me that it was his int , n- Lion to advance on the city by the left H ink of my line, which I ordered to wheel towards hint as fer as the irregularity of the ground would allow, at tl!e *same time directing the mounted grenadiers to charge sword in hand on the enemy's Chasseurs. This charge was executed with the greatest dexterity and success, and compelled she enemy to retreat to the foot of th. heights Chepe. He, however, made a second at tempt, and again the m tttt tiled gieuadiers rushed to the charge, and, supported by the 4th company of the llth re . galent, made tiim go back on the decli vity of the said heights, from whence his descent was preventod. In this ewe 01 things I detached 50 men of the 3.1, to harass theilett Oink of his'line, whither he bad brought back his first piece or artillery, and this was well executed. The cavalry was then order ed to support this detachment and changi, its position, by which means the enemy was under the necessity of retreating or being cut off, and he preferred doing the first. _ _ " In the mean time the Penco division above men tioned attacked the fortifications on our left flank with musketry and artillery. This position was.cora-1 minded by the brave Lieutenant-Colonel Freyze, who, with 100 men of the 7th and Sib he had brought with him from Mendoza, sallied i,ist to receive the enemy, and was afterwards reinforced by two grena dier companies of the llth. attacked the enemy at tile point of the bayonet, took from him his two pieces of at Tillery. and routed him completely an hour before the other division had terminated the contest. " In the combinations of the enemy's plan of at tack he also retied on the forces he had on the other side of the river Biotin, posted in the tortsess•of San Pedro. In conformity to these arrangements, during the action three, launches and an equal number of rafts came out, with one piece of cannon, and ad vanced two-thirds across the river, undoubtedly fur the purpose of landing them at a seasonable time, Ibut when they saw the defeat of theit companions, they were g..d to retire. " The action lasted till ten o'clock, when the enemy fled in the most shameful manner, and was pursued as tar as the farm of MAIIZAIIO by our intre pid horse grenadiers. We took one piece of artillery from the divisinn that au 'eked on the Chepe toad.— The enemy lost 112 kfl ed ALAI 80 prisoners. We t.ok three p!eces of cannon; six pairs of mules, with har ness, &c. complete ; 20 at.o.munition chests, filed ; 20,000 musket cartridges, 9000 flints, and 2011 mus kets, bes Lits other alleles.

PRIVATE LET (ER. " St. Petersburib, September u The principles of a (slope: administration of the finances, which are steadily pursued by the Minister of Finance, M. Von Guizew, daily give evidence of their utility. The public are already informed that his plan for extinguishing the debts of the Empire, and diminishing the 'paper currency by means of a loan, tie amount of . which is to be burnt in Bank. notes, anti thus the mass of paper currency reduced, , has not only been received with approbation by the Council tit the Empire, but also declared by this highest department to be the serest means of attain ing this end. The loan makes considerable p r . In the first month since it was opened, eight n:it e o l t s rs and 4 half have been received, which proves the con fidence of the public in this measure, and also that butte Fatties must find their account in it.. It is in. deed true, that seven and a halt . per cent. is an into. rest with which any monied man may be clarified— particularly when we consider that the security of the loan is guaranteed by all the collective domains of the Crown. It we consider the immense extent and value of Abe land which belongs in Russia to the do mains of ti.e Crown, we shall find this confidence very natural : for they include not only the mime rout, extensive, and for the most .part well-peopled anti fruitful fonds of the Crown, with the forests is almost all the Governitienta of rite Empire; but ala the great uncultivated districts in the Southern No. Times, which, by the increase of the population, .are gradually converted into fertile plains, and the burin. sic value of which therefore increases annually. we add the judicious restrictions on the importation of articles . which the national industry can furnish, we may expect the most favourable result for the, tivances of the Empire.. roe Emperor arrived on the 47th August 0.8.' in the evenitig at Molidow, where he was received by Fieid Marshal l'iince Barclay de Tally, with the u t urraia, the Governor, and the Nobility, and in the Church by the Archbishop Daniel and the Clergy.
