1... mmm.-_ THE NATIONAL REGIgTER. OCT. Q. Our army remains sin the frontiers of Nal/al - re, and is prepar ed to combine its operations with those of the Austrian, Galli ciao, Castilian, and Andalusian armies. We have no doulo of a favourable result from these combinations, aided by the English, and supported by the enthusiasm n ith which the whole nation multiplies its means of defending its glory and liberty. Ala - onto, SRPT. 7.—There were at Tudela 6000 of our troops, and 16,000 alined peasantry, when the krrztgonese Com manders received advice from the Chief Alcade of Soria, that 20,000 French were advancing under the command of ( ieneral Nonce, to enter the kingdom of Arragon. It therefore be came necessary that our troops should retreat to Saragossa, where, according to the letters from that place, every prepara tion wa s made for sustaining a second siege. The gate of Santa Engracia was the only point which excited any degree of ap preheosion, as it was in ruins ; but the utmost exertions were to place both it and Monte Torrero in a state of defence. The advanced guard of the A rragonese was within three leagues of Sara4ossa ; that of the French was at Gallur, seven league from the city. We were under some apprehensions for that cele orated bulwark of heroism, when at one o'clock yeAterday NI. Boron, Aide-dc-Camp to general Palafox, arrived here with iutelligenee, that the French had retreated to Tudela. lle fur ther states, that the people of Saragossa entertain no alarm, should the enemy return with double their former farce. lu consequence of the ads ices Irma Arragon, a C ouncil of General Officers was held here; and in order to protect that kingdom, it was determined to send uir a courier extraordinary, with orders to general Blake to take an advantageous position ; but that skilful officer anticipated the necessity of the intouled movement, aud before the express reached him, he had already posted his army on the spot fixed on by the Council of War--a circumsiance which has forwarded the system of operations, and given general satisfaction. CADIZ, AUG. 30.—Yesterday arrived here a vessel from Monte Video, in eighty days, to procure a supply of arms to be employed against the Court of Brazil, the Prince of that coun try having summoned Monte Video, and the whole of that dis trict, to surrender to the Portuguese arms. Not only was the bearer of the summons put under arrest, but his master was given to uuderstaud that his summons would be answered by 17,000 warriors. Claim's DE r.os CoNnrs, SEPT. 4.—The whole of the (I:dial:to army is concentrated in this place. It marches off at four in the afternoon, and k ill continue its route the whole night, it; order to come up 1% ith the enemy. It is imagined that thi' overation is taken in concert with the armies of the other pm , and that all of them ►•ere to be in motion at midnight.

KO\ INGSBERG, SEPE. I3.—The Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duke Constantine, are es peeteJ here this week, on their way to Enfurth, to meet Bonaparte ! This remarkighle event gives rise to much conjecture; but all agree in comlcianing the conduct of the Emperor. There is still great mov'•meues amongst the• troops in Germans'.
