Trenches, 21st and 29 Nov.-7th Corps, 2tl brigade. During the day, the formation of the circular part in front of battery No. 2, was proceeded in, the pa rallel was improved and completed in the more dif ficult parts, and the embankments were made almost along the whole of the extent that had been dug.— At day-break, we began to work on the communica tion of battery, No. 1, and at nine o'clock it was finished. The communication marked out in the vineyards has been worked at during the whole of the day. At five o'clock, Messrs. Lenoir and So leirol went to reconnoitre the attack on the left, with the Major of the trenches. It required an extent of 700 metres to be dug. At half past six, the troops arrived in the trenches, viz. the 56th regiment, the sth legion, and a battalion of the 6th Italian. Gene ral Jouba ordered the grenadiers and voltigeurs of the 56th, and also the Italian voltigeurs, to be posted in front of the attack on the right, so that the troops destined . to the attack on the left consisted of three companies of the legion, and the center companies of the 6th Italian. At eight o'clock we advanced to the attack on the left, and the works were immediately commenced. The situation of our post in front of the parallel rendered it unnecessary to station any troops to protect the working party. They' were distributed, part of them near the old parallel, which served as a line of communication to the extent of about three hundred paces, and the rest near the house that was burnt down, having the means of retreat by hollow ways, extending to about the same length.— At two o'clock, Gen. Jouba sent for a third company of the legion, and about thrce he sent back the Ita lian voltigeurs. In the morning, the legion posted on the right was covered in. The enemy tired during the day 868 shot during the night ten. Six men killed and wounded. (Signed) Runs, Col of Engineers. Dec. B.—The following are extracts from various letters from Bayonne, dated December 4: 68 The head quarters of his Majesty the Emperor and King were established at • Buttriago on the Ist instant,a town situated at a short.distance from Ma d yid. The defiles of Somo Sierra, through which the road to that capital lies, were carried, after a very brilliant' affair, in which the Polish division co. vered thernselycs wish glory. The enemy lost a great number of priscners, and a considerable quantity of artillery. It appears certain that his Majesty was to ester Mach don the 2ct instant, being the anniversary of his coronation. The greatest confusion prevailed ' ia r thnt city. Ciu.sta, Palafox, and Pena, were each desoarectl in their turn. Al l defeated Generali were there denounced as traitors to their country ; mid, in short, that capital presented only the picture of tenor and despair. e • The Members of the insurgent Junta availed themselves of the opportunity of — night to make their elopement, and _abandoned to their melancholy fate the traappy people whom they had duped. • ~44 The weather has hitherto been very fine in Spain. They have had some days as serene and agreeable as in the middle OfeiMiiner.

She had on board a large luantity of colonial produce.— Ibriiiieulty of procuring conveyance not admit. dog et this and other cargoes being sent to a die. pace, Bayonne and the armies will principally Welk br them. Doc. 9.—On the 15th ult. his Majesty assigned. l various honours and rewards to those officers and'. privates of the-corps of the Dukes of Dantzic Cornegliano, who chiefly distinguished themselves ia. the recent affkirs in Spain. The establishment of the Prussian army will in (*titre consist of 6000 guards, 8000 cavalry, 8000 ' artillery, and 21,000 infantry ; forming a total of 48,000 men. Letters from Stralsund of the 29th ult. mention, that there were then 6000 peasants employed in . de. polishing the works of that place. The Minister of the Interior has given notice to she public, that 200,000 kilogrammes of Spaniel: wool will be set up to auction, at Bayonne, on the 2d elf Ipuary. Dec. 10.—An Imperial Decree of the 26th ultinio' ordains, that no alteration, not even of a mom description, shall he made in the Tani' of Culepet*, without a decree of his Majesty. The same n tt sets forth the powers relative to this matter, v the Minister of Finance, and the Director-Genend e( the Customs. No Minister is, under any pretext, till issue, of his own accord, any prohibitory or legisla tive regulation in affairs belonging to the Customs. Dpc. 14. 7 —The Commissioners of the Imperial , rustbms have given public notice, that the prohibi. bition of colonial commodities and merchandize Coming from Holland, ordered by the decree of the 16th September, which had been suspended, is again in full force.—N.B. By colonial commodities is un derstood all the productions and commodities of the East and West Indies. Cotton is excepted from the prohibition. A letter from Nancy of the 11th inst. states, that within the preceding week 55 large waggons had passed through that place for the interior, loaded with cotton and other articles of colonial produce. On the 10th passed through Nancy, Count de Ro ,ntaronsky, aide-de-camp to the Emperor of Russia, OR his way to Paris and also a courier on his way to St. Petersburgh, with dispatches from Count de Ro manzow, the Russian Ambassador at Paris. The business of the assignments made upon half the Hanoverian domains, to the Marshals of the Em pire, is finally settled. The produce of the fisheries, forests, mills, corvees, &c. goes to the public treasury, but the estates and arms of the baillages are to be made over in full property to the grantees, wire are to manage them for their own benefit. These domains will yield rentals of from 55,000 to 100,000 franks to Marshals Bernadotte, Mortier, Duroc, Ney, Auge reau, Massena, Caulincourt, Davoust, Soult, Lannes, Junot, and Sebastiani. The Berlin Gazette of the 3d inst. contains the fol lowing article :.••••4( The fortifications of Schweidnitz, are, it is confidently stated, not to be rebuilt, and those of Breslau and Brieg are to be completely razed. Glatz, Silberberg, Neisse, Cosel, and Glogau, are it said, to be the only strong holds of Silesia." In the same Gazette is inserted a Convention, signed on the 28th ult. by M. Baron Baillod, Adju- , tant-Commandant, in virtue of authority from the Duke of Atierstadt on the one part, and Count de. Chazot, Major of Prussian cavalry, as authorised'by the King of Prussia, on the ether.. The object of this arrangement is to ascertain the extent of territory at cached to the fortresses of Stettin, Custrin, and Glo ,gau, and the lines of communication which the Prut sian troops are not to approach during the occupation of the said fortresses, by the French troops. The cities lof Frankfort on the Oder and Zielenzig are excepted, though within the line of demarkation. By additional articles concluded on the subsequent day, it is stipu lated that the military communication from one of these cities to the other shall be suspended, but an become free as soon as either of them shall have been evacuated. The French military posts are not to take charge of the letters of the inhabitante The French military establishments at the different points of com munication are not to be subject to the inspection of the authorities of the country. The French columns on the march are not to exceed 2000 men each, and there is always to be an interval of one day between them, A Prussian Commissary may accompany them to prepare quarters for them.. Three days notice is to be given of their arrival at every place where they are to halt." The division of Bnudet arrived at Strasburgh on the 4th inst. That of Molitor was also expected. By various special Decrees, a number of Civil and Military Officers have been created Counts and Barons. BAYONNE, DECEMBER. 3. Since the battle of Tudela, the Spaniards have been in complete route. The wrecks of their army have retreated upon Saragossa. That fortress ttoo be immediately invested, and the siege will be p with vigour. It is reported that the Marshal Du e of Cornegliano will have the command of the besieg ing army. Yesterday evening were marched in here 1200 men, forming the first column of the prisoners taken at Tudela. The officers have been lodged in the new castle. The soldiers, who have the appearance of highwaymen, have been put on board a frigate-hulk lying in the roads. The troops of the sth corps of the army continue to pass through this place. This day arrived the 100th, and 103 d regiments of the line, the sth regi ment of light infantry, and a considerable train of ar tillery.

The enemy have made repeated attempts to land to procure water and provisions, but they have always been repulsed by the national guards. VIENNA, NOVEMBER M. From Turkey, we learn, that propositions of peace have been recently made to the Porte on the part of Russia. This explains why the Russians have not long since resumed offensive operations. The house of Feldemager, which speculated to a great amount in cotton and Other colonial commodi ties, stopped payment on the 24th ; but having proved its solvency, Government has vented it a delay of six months, after which period it is to make good its payments by instalments, with six per cent. interest. LINTZ, DECEMBER 1. The new plan of finances which the Count O'Doef nell has been 'directed to draw up, is how coucludirie It is expected that it will be submitted to the appe& bation of the Emperor, on his arrival at Olmtitz, sad then discussed in a full Assembly of the Ministers aid Council. Though it is not yet made public, we are assured that it contains many important changes, dally with respect to the indirect contributions, are to be increased. The Count proposes to ilereime.the importation dues on all foreign merchan dise coming from abroad, particularly on cokil ooMmodities, which were, however, already her taxed. There is likewise a report that the trams; Ideties will be increased, but as this measure would fatal to the trade of the principal provinces of the Monarchy, we flatter ourselves that this' design, • ever had been entert • uidl be abandoned, were it only to prevent the extinction of credit. As to the establishment of another system of direct' contributions, which is now pteparing, it is expected that it will meet with great difficulties, since it ought to be uniform for. all the German States, including Bohemia and Moravia. It is even said that the pn vileged Orders, and especially the Clergy, will be subjected to a ll public burthens. In causing this maim -to be adopted, especially with respect to -convents and other Ecclesiastical eorpotstions, which absorb so great a portion of the he editary . States, the Count has deserved well of the nation and the Govern ment ; but many persons of sense doubt whether Aus tria-be sufficiently ripe for such an improvement. For this year past there has been talk of establish ing new, fortresses in Austria. The fact is, that, hi therto, nothing has been done, except the repairs and improvements of the fortifications of Comorn, in Hun gary, and Olmutz, in Moravia. The works neces sary for the other towns are, as yet, only in contem plation, and the present state of the Austrian finances will not admit of the expenditure of the large sums which will be necessary for their execution.
