Il.—The satisfactory intelligence has beet. o'tie Tally receiy,ll, that a division of Blake's army, commanded by Don :lame Gant, ha Furceeded in breAing the enemy's line, and entered (;eronn with provisions and stores for that ad. mirakie ,mince. The. geaeroti.: movements of the inhabitants of the Pyreoecs confirme with unabated vigour and perseverance, and had not the important fortress of Java, thPough cowardice, fallen into the enemy's hands, those gallant mountaineers, sup ported in their movvments by that imporistnt place, and led on by the worthy chief w ho commands them, would, perhaps, b , this time, have carried their virtorionu banner, to the hanks of the Ebro and Navarre. and Arragon would have been a second time indebted to them for their liberty.—(Government Gazette, Sept. 12.) ALICA NT, Arc:. 29.—8 y a ship which on the 27th of this month arrived here from Tarragona, intelligence has been re ceived, that on the 13th and I.lth of that month 5000 horse pa , sed through that pace for Gerona; and that positive infor mation had reached Tarragona, that provit.ion3 are very scarce in Barcelona ; that the enemy sustains great losses in his inroads into the country, and that the French troops are in great distress. General D'Ap,Ptilet, French Governor of Navarre, having con demned four Spaniar:ls to suffer death on a charge of their having murdered a Ft-I-tick serjeant and merchant, and having given public [oice of the execution of his sanguinary order, Don .11;ariano Ito;naler, Commatider in Chief of the Sp:lnish troops in the mountains of Arragon, for his Maje'tv Ferdinand Vii. has issued a Proclamation in answer to the former, which contains the following articles : 1.

Happy would we be, were :he grandeur of the scene the only circumstance worthy of re in:irk : unfortunately the painful duty remains of not king the lest ructinn and ca.tastrophe occasioned by the sudden swell. Though the Eden and Peterill were not deficient in mischief, by far the largest proportion of damage wes CO"ected by the Cal dew ; whose mountain torrent, hurrying along" a continued de clivity, scarcely gave war n i ng o f it s approach. By those per -ons in and near Caldewgate, who saw the flood descending in its fury (which was between the hours of five and six in the morning),i t is represented as resembling some mighty tide, rai ling forward with amazing rapidity. In Shaddongate, Cal iiewgate, and by the Damside, the hones were innundated to the depth of three, tour, and even six feet. Furniture of every description was carried away, and a house on the margin of the river, inhabited by two families, was washed down, scarcely a minute after they had made a precipitate retreat. Part of their property was afterwards recovered, It having been cast upon the shore about three miles below. It was lamentable to view the immense quantities • of grain which were driven down by the current 'at one time the river presented the singular appearance of an immense moving bell of corn. A small part was recovered *by means of drags, but it • is supposed that some hundred thousands of sheaves have been entirely lost. Timber trees, hedges, &c. were all carried away in one promiscuous ruin; some stone walls were levelled, and the ground stripped of its soil. A remarkable instance of the latter occurred at Sehergham : in a field of potatoes containing about one acre, not only the roots, but every particle of soil was swept away ! se that What was formerly fertile land, is now a barren bed of gravel. At the same place, the woollen manufactory of Mr. Saul, with the machinery, &c. was entire swept way. Sebergham bridge shared the same fete. The► bridges at Hawkesdale, Hesket, Whelpa, and over the rivet Ellen, near Mary port, have been likewise dcstro)ed. The following accidents, we are sorry to state, have come to our knnwl,:dge :—At the time the arches of the last-mentionett srid?,as gave way, a boy was passing on horse back ; enrol-- tunately perished, but the horse escaped unhurt. The rive: IVaver being greatly swollen, the house of an old woman of thlk name of Mary Calvert, at Field-End, near Woodrow, was stirs rounded by water: the helpless situation of the poor creature. eseiting the fears of the neighbours, as soon as it was practictt h!e, her condition was attended to, when she was discovered its !ter bed a lifeless curse : and on Monday night, near the MPS place, the driver of a post chaise,belonging to an innkeeper la IVigton, missing his road, from the darkness of the night, and he severity of the weather, the horses plunged into the foaming deep, were they were drowned, and the chaise dashed to pieces which fortunately contained no passengers. Miraculously driver regained the shore. The rivers Line and Esk were also muck swollen, and -ieme quantities acorn were carried off from the low grounds% The Moods have also been destructive in other places. We had Beard that Ilexh:im bridge had been washed away, but out Newcastle correspondent is silent on the•eutrject. By a violent storm on Monday night a considerable part of au ancivnt.pear-tree, in the garden of J. H. Maw, Esq. of Doncaster, was blown down. This is the remarkable tree noticed iu Dr. Miller's History of Doncaster, p. ‘5, as said, , • too have been planted by King Charles I. An unfortunate circumstance took place at Faldingworth, near Market Raisin, on Sunday sennight (tbe feast day i■ that parish). Thomas Cottinghum and William Slack chal lenged each other to fight; the conflict continued for three quarters of an hour, w hen Cottinghata fell from a blow of his antagonist, and died instantly. The fathers of the young' men stood by, and eacit encouraged his son during the fight ! An inquest was held on the body of the deceased on Tuesday; and a verdict of Manslaughter being found against Slack, he was committed to the county gaol by Mr. Drury, of Lincoln, the coroner. Last week, as some workmen were quarrying on the lands of Donnas, in the county of Clare, for Mr. Massey, of Waterperk, on rem,)sing a large stone which lay in the way of a car, they found two large crocks of wicket gold and silver coins, of the reigns of Edward VI.
