The Superior Junta of Observation and Defence of this place, has received the following dispatch, dated yesterday, from its agent in the city of Lorca : •• Most Excellent Seignior—According to the com munications made to me this day, the enemy have retired from Guadix and I3aza, leaving in both towns an inconsiderable garrison, which may consist of about 500 cavalry and infantry. Though they marched off in the direction of Grenada, it is supposed they have actually gone to the Serrania de Ronda, where the patriotic parties have prodigiously increased ; so much so, indeed, as to have penetrated into the environs of Grenada, and put to the sword two grand guards which the enemy had in advance near that city. From that quarter we have positive intelligence of the landing of Seignior Vigodet's division at Marvella and Este pona, which produced a general alarm in all the towns in that district. It is certain that the patriotic parties have entered Vega de la Grenada, and that the par don granted by the Supreme Council of Regency to the deserters and fugitives of our army, has been pla carded in all parts of the town. This circumstance has enraged General Sebastiani, who is making the most diligent search after the person who placarded those proclamations. It is however certain, that the same proceeding is at this moment taking place in several other. chief towns of districts, within a few leagues distance of Vega ' • so that Seignior Sebastiani will lose his pains. It is doubtful whether the enemy still holds Almeria, but certain, that they are quar tered in Jerga and the other towns in the environs of that city. We daily see Poles and Germans passing his way to join our advanced parties. They as sure us, that a general disgust at the service prevails among the troops of the tyrant Napoleon. as they. call him ; and add, that all the Poles and Germans would come over to us it our army advanced into An dalusia." OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION. " CADIZ, JULY 13 , " Citizens of Cadiz—Your wishes are now to be accomplished with those of all Spain. Your sacred rights, forgotten and nearly lost, will be restored by the Cortes to be convened in the following month.— You are about to exercise the solemn functions of Le. gislators,. of which you have been deprived by tyran ny, falsely called legitimate and sovereign authority. With difficulty we have arrested the sword of power, which has caused the evils that we deplore, to return to you your just claim to have independent Represen tatives who shall watch over your happiness. The Oppressor of human nature would not have advanced so tar in his attempts at universal despotism, if the nations under his iron sway had known how to main tain the dignity of men and citizens, which knowledge constitutes the vigour and strength of Empire. His tory, citizens, has taught us by more than one ex ample how much Spain has been indebted to that heroic fortitude, which, in our Cortes, has made Kings themselves amenable for the abuse of their power.— Remember that Princes have sometimes treated you as if they had no duties, and you no rights, and as if the uttering of your complaints were a crime against the State. _ _ _ Ccmmence then your duties in Spain, which is as free to you as it was to your ancestors. For' this purpose employ the right of suffrage, which you en joy by nature and by the Constitution of your tom, try ; and let not intrigue and seduction surprise you in the very asylum of your liberty, dictating to you the •electiog vthirje ought to be the anbiaisecl exercise of your will and ipteasure. ?Avow, and property give no title, and sessing thew that the country is that, talent, merit proved by that should claim your attention. your vote, and employs artifices probation, estimates at a low Of a generous people, and ou; you as a suspicious character. _ sesses too much genuine modesty to bt. the hero of its own story ; and would rather convince you by deeds than words that it deserves your confidence. " Neither ought you to forget, that you are respon sible to your children and posterity for the, faithful dischargp of your duty on this occasion. Since the re-establishment of the Monarchy, you are, perhaps, the only Spaniards who have enjoy e d so fa ir an op portunity to give permanence and solidity to civil in stitution. It, after two years of uncertainty and vac. cilation, when you have been so often brought to the edge of the precipice, you do not yet discover the oil gin of your calamities to consist in the imperfect re presentation of the national will, what will be the consequence ? The Government and all good citi zens will lament your culpable blindness, and they will have at least the negative consolation of knowing that history will point you out as the destroyers of your family, and the assassins of your country. " You cannot now justify yourselves, as at the com mencement of the revolution, by the consternation into which the enemy threw the country, so that having no means of chusing and exan*ing, you were given up to clamorous pretenders, who availed themselves of the confusion to domineer over you ; nor can you vindicate yourselves by professing that you are the dupes of intrigue, as the painful experience of two years has taught you how to detect and despise it.— You are Dow enabled to exercise calm reflection, and to overcome those influences which designing men would dispense to deceive you. 4 4 Recollect, that according as you act rightly or wrongly, you establish the honour or fix the disgrace of Spain—every thing depends upon the integrity of the Members of the august Assembly, which is so lemnly to declare the immutable principles of justice, and to consecrate before tyrants the hallowed rights of nations. " This Superior Junta earnestly hopes, that con sidering the importance of the business entrusted to you, and rigidly observing the rules prescribed to you for the election, you will prevent any corrupt inter ference, and you will preserve in your recollection, that if you are unfaithful, you will do all in your power to promote the eternal disgrace of your poste rity. By order of the Superior Junta, " Louis DE GARGOLLO, Secretary. " To Andres Lopez, President, " Cadiz, June S." CADIZ, JULY 12. The trench make no progress in their works before this fortress, whilst ours are prodigiously increasing. It is certain, that Massena has written to his Emperor, that he would not venture, even with 100,000 men, to attack the English in the strong positions they at pre sent occupy. It is reported, that Lacy, who marched for Ronda, has fought an action in the vicinity of that place ; in which, with a battalion of the Royal Guards of Spain, and another of the Light Infantry of Va lentia, he routed the French, who flc4 with precipita tion into the town, which, according to report, they have since evacuated. In Gallicia the armament - and fortifications make. such great progress, that the inhabitants are confident they have nothing to fear. If their resources are ade quate to the patriotism of that province, they can unH doubtedly bring into the field more than 60,000 men. On the sth instant, a French privateer from Rota captured a brig, which had just sailed out of the bay; but the English and Spanish flotilla having gone in pursuit of them, both the brig and privateer were forced to run ashore. It appears, that in the action of Ronda the batta lion of the Guards suffered considerably, in coose quence of the ardour and intrepidity heroically mani fested upon all occasions by this corps of honour, which counts among its members the immortal Alva rez and Herrasri. His Excellency Signior Don Nicolas Sierra, Mi nister de Gracia, is provisionally charged with the Secretaryship of the Cabinet, and also of Finance and Marine. Signior de Bardaxi is appointed Secretary at War. The light parties continue to perform prodigies of valour in all parts of the country. Several deputies to the Cortes have arrived, and among others those of Arragon and Navarre. REUS, JUNE 1. When I wrote last, things appeared going on pretty well, but now, unfortunately, it is quite the contrary. I mentioned, that the Spaniards had lost some men near Lerida, but it now appears that the whole division was either made captive or killed, but chiefly the former. It was 4500 strong, and since then, the Spaniards have abandoned Hostalrich for want of provisions, and Garcia Conde, who sold Lerida to the French, is by them continued in his station as Governor. He had under him 4.000 men, with provisions for four months, in an almost impreg nable castle. The whole was delivered over by treachery. The Spanish army is now at Tone den Bane, about three leagues on ;he Barcelona side of Tarragona, and ready to eater the latter whesever the enemy shall make his appearance. The people are much afraid that O'Donnel will follow Garcia Conde's example. There is every appearance of the French intending to besiege Tarragona. troops, and on land 1.. Spain, at which the adepts. Several vessels have arrived Brazils ; the accounts from thence ,ing to British commerce.—Our harvest has commenced, and we hope will be better far than accounted. Imports are anxiously ;looked for. Our men are in hig h h ealth and spirits. JULY 21.—This week nothing of importance has transpired. By letters from Almeida, Badajoz, Oporto, &c. all continue nearly the same. Our troops are particularly healthy, and the Portuguese increase in courage since the third battalion of Portuguese Cassadores, in the attack of our advance, shewed such firmness and courage. The fortifications around the city go on rapidly, and make a determined ap pearance. All the different corps of the enemy which, under the command of Regnier, occupied Menda, Almen dralejo, &c. have evacuated that part of the province, and passed the Tagus, with the intention, no doubt, of forming a junction with the Grand Army under Massena, which remains within the te rr ito r y of Castile, having reduced the fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo on the 10th. The allies are in front of them ; and, should the French advance to court a meeting with them, the allies, by taking their stand on any of the excellent positions of the Beira, will most certainly beat them.

This morning Colonel BUNEVEY.- belonging to the Staff of the British Array in Sicily, arrived at Lord LIVERPOOL'S Office, in Downing -street, with the agreeable intelligence that the attempts made by the French and Italian army on the shores of Calabria, to invade Sicily, have been almost totally frustrated. Their fleet of transports has been dispersed by the gal lant exertions of our tars on that station ; seven ves sels have fallen into our hands, with 3000 troops on board, and several have been driven on shore and destroyed. We can add little or nothing to the accounts re ceived yesterday from Portsmouth, respecting the reported battle on the 19th and 20th ult. Govern ment had not, before the arrival of the mails this morning, received any dispatches relative to such an event. His Majesty's ship MEDUSA, the Hon. Captain Boy milt, arrived at Falmouth on Monday, with dis patches from Corunna. Our letters from Falmouth say, the MEDUSA had a short passage of three days. If there be no mistake in this, Government must know, by this time, what credit is due to the report of yesterday ; but, at the hour at which this Paper was put to press, nothing had transpired. Since writing the above, the dispatches by the Menus/. frigate have arrived at the Admiralty Office; but these dispatches are totally silent on the subject of the reported battle, between Lord WELLINGTON and the French ; and the general belief therefore is, that there has ken no battle at all ! Sunday night a handsome American•built brig ar rived at Plymouth, prize to the EMZRALD frigate, which took her just as she was entering Bourdeauz. She has on board 72 passengers, 26 of whom are fe males, who had fled from Guadaloupe previous to its capture, and had purchased this vessel at Balti more for 13,000 dollars, for the purpose of carrying them to France. The vessel is quite new, having never been painted. She has on board a large quan tity of nutmegs, cloves, and other spices. The President frigate, arrived at Plymouth from Rio Janeiro, brings intelligence that trade there la bours under as much depression as ever; and that both there and at Bahia the warehouses are crammed, with unsaleable goods. Our shipping on that station have suffered,severely by sickness, occasioned by the heat of the climate. Mrs. DE COURCY and one of her daughters are come home ill. We understand by our last letters from Rio de Ja neiro, that his Royal Highness the PaiNcE RESENT is' so persuaded of the benefit which has arisen to his dominions from the political and military assistance received from his BRITANNIC Mansrit's subjects in Portugal, that the King's Minister, Mr. STUART, is to have a voice in the Regency of that Kingdom, in all deliberations on subjects relating to the Military or Financial Administration ;—and the British Ad miral commanding in the Tagus, is, we understand, to have the Supreme direction of the whole of the Portuguese Marine within the European territories of that Monarchy. IParis journals to the 24th ult. have been received, from which we have given some interesting extracts. The conduct of the Ex-King of Holland in abdicat ing his throne is ascribed to some malady: insanity we suppose ! His address, however, to the Legisla te Body, given in the STAR a few days ago, betrays no imbecility ; nor will it be an easy matter to per suade the Dutch that the charge now for the first time exhibited against Louis is founded in truth. I The late heir apparent to the throne of Holland, who, on the abdication of 'xis falba, was traneormed by his uncle into 11110 eArri, arrived in Paris 04 the 90th ultimo, where he is represented to hare be et /id& received by NAPOLION. The accounts from Naples, given in these pap en, represent the preparations for the invasion of Sicily as being now ready. The force destined for this sift, vice was all assembled at Scilla early in Jul•, Th e attack was intended to be made as soon as the last convoy, which was daily expected, should arrive., The public may expect in a few days to hear of the result of this attempt. The Spanish ship . Algesiras, of 74 guns, hu ar, rived at Plymouth,from Cadiz. She has brought several Spanish families of distinction, who are come to reside in this country. She brings nothing new. The French batteries keep playing incessantly on nu t fortifications, but as yet they have made little or no impression. Fifty French prisoners were brought home in the Algesiras. The Express packet, with Mails fmm Malta and Gibraltar, fifteen days from the latter place, basun. 'red at Falmouth. The force under General LACY, which marched fronbAlgesiras about the end of June to attack the French at Ronda, has failed in its object, and fallen back upon Gibraltar. GIBRALTAR, JULY 4. "An Expedition sailed from hence a few days ago, to proceed directly to Malaga. We expect •ery soon 'to hear the result of its operation. The French have only 1600 men in Malaga, who are strongly fortified in the Castle. " A Malta Convoy is in sight to the eastward of the Rock, and the wind at present blows from the westward. 44 The PRINCESS AUGUSTA packet arrived here CS the 28th ult. and sailed for Malta on the 29th." " GIBRALTAR, JULY " The packet from Malta and Sicily arrived this morning, in twenty-one days' passage. MURAT was ~at Rheggio when the packet left Sicily ; and he had notified his intention-of making a descent on Sicily about the end of June. •4 JVLYJO.—The SPARTAN and convoy sailed fa England this morning. •• The division under General LACY, which march ed from Algesiras about ten days ago to attack the French at Ronda, have been obliged to fall back upon this garrison, after some fighting, the enemy being in greater force than was expected. The French troops desert in considerable numbers, and there are several hundreds of them now in this garrison. a PENISCOLA. JUNE 14, " The silence observed on the further operations of the siege of Mequinenza, is, in our opinion, a bad omen of its fate, particularly as weheve heard, through the channel of the inhabitants of Fayron, that, on the Bth instant, a tremendous noise was heard in that quarter, not unlike a clap of thunder—which unpre, cedented circumstance indicates, that some consider- able part of the buildings or works has blown up itt the castle. The arts resorted to by the enemy when they are ~ware of the inability of their troops to carry their point; the narrow extent of the castle, the weak state of the works, and, above all, the unremitted attack; by which that small, though brave Garrison has been harrassed, render it highly probable, that some un• lucky accident has taken place, capable of baffling the activity and zeal of the authorities who exerted themselves to relieve it ; and that the troops appoint. ed for that purpose are not arrived in time. " MORELLA, JUNE 12. 66 The Governor of Barbastro, a frantic and out. rageous Frenchman, has issued a violent Manifesto against some .f the brave parties of Arragon, who were conducting a number of prisoners to Lerida, and who, having heard on the way, of the base sur. render of that fortress, and of the horrors committed in the city by SUCUETNI cannibals, retaliated upon the prisoners, and, after putting them all to the sword threw their bodies into the river."

This week we have an account of a very brilliant skirmish, near Dos Galagos. Our out-posts at four o'clock in the morning were attacked by a force of near eight to one; and consequently retired upon the rear, consisting of the Light Rifle Companies, and part of two other Regiments. The French pressed hard upon the troops, and tried much to out-flank them, they having near 2000 Cavalry. Our troops retired in good order to a swamp, over which was a bridge, at which place they pushed forward ; when our Cavalry of 3040 made a dash, and completely turned them, The Rifle Companies opened a well levelled fire, and produced a good effe c t, T wo sma ll pieces of A rtiflery also wee 4 admirably served ; but the overpowering numbers of the enemy demanded a prudent retreat, which was effected in good order to the river that divides the provinces, which the French did not deem fit to cross, having repeatedly tried to
