EXPLOIT AT 1141'11 We have received, front our correspondent at Hayti, the following official account of • one of the bravest xpiults ever performed by man in ancient or modem *times. It presents as glorious an instance of patriotism, resolution, and skill as any found in the history of Greece or Rome.. It is remarkable, that thesebursts of military heroioun luve almost always taken place in the contests of small republics, and been seldom remarked among the subjects of great and powerful nations. " Port•su-Prinse, Oct. 27, 1810. " It is with great satisfaction I acquaint you with the safe arrival of the largest part of our garrison from the Mole, at this place this very morning. Having consumed all their stores, and the enemy's fleet preventing ours from throw ing any supplies into the Mole by their superiority since the ac quisition made by Christophe of a frigate, our brave garrison were compelled to eat their horses,.dogs, oats, rats, and every animal which could afford subsistence. Finally, havingiuffered all the horrors of starvation, during twenty days whilst they had to contend with the whole of the enemy's force, they deter mined never to surrender, but held a council of war, in which it was discussed whether they should use the rest of their ammu nition in blowing themselves up ie one of their forts, or should cut their way through the superior numbers of the enemy. The latter propositionwas carried by a majority, and it was agreed that dur ing the night of the 21st inst. they should set out of the Mole, and force their way through Ce STOPI! x's troops and dominions back to our own territories. The time fixed for the execution of this design having arrived, the garrison, consisting of 1900 men, beaded by their brave commander, General Evziot.aen, sallied out with fixed bayonets, and hewed themselves a pas sage through the besieging army, who, during the darkness, dared not commence a regular fire, lest they should destroy tit .ir own men. They closed, how ever, behind our rear, and fellowed our troops closely, and %eke' dayiight returned, began a teemendeus fire, with the whole of th,ir force collected against our little band, who retired in good or& r, though with a most heavy loss, amongst which v have to lament that of Gen. £VIILLAILU. His death,however, not rob uur warriors of their courage and resolutioi.. Cool, tre ough the excess of the danger which threatened them with instant destruction, they rallied reund Gen. TOV3SAINT, who collected them once more into one body, and led them through a host of enemies,' a march of 150 miles, fighting Almost all tha w•ty, back into this city, which they entered this morning. Their loss 'mounts to i 667 men." • ~. ... FRANCE. BAYONNE, DEC. 14.— RA long article appears under this head, containing reflections on the war in Portugal, and asserting that the armies under Matsena, Vict:ir, and Macdonald, would re ceive, before the end of next month, reinforcements amourting to 100,000 men :—lt is likewise acknowledged thar a Cornier bad passed through that town on the 12th, with letters from Joseph to his brother Napoleon, accusing his subjects with ob stinacy and ingratitude, and intimating an intention, should it accord with the views of Napoleon, to resign the Sceptre which be had bestowed on him. PORTUGAL. PRIVATE LETTERS. Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Dec. SO.—" Great im portance is attached to the seizure of a spy here by the Portu guese peasants who are ever on the watch. This fellow bad been sent on some important errand by Massera, but he was secured before his object could be accomplished. As his trai torous intentions were manifest, he would have been shot after a trial, but for the important discoveries he made to Lord Wel lington. Several of the officers who had obtained leave to em bark for England, and were at Lisbon for that purpose, have been suddenly ordered back to the army, which at first induced an opinion, that the British Commander in Chief expected a movement on the part of the enemy; but it is now said to be in consequence of the discoveries he made by the spy, but of what nature we do not learn." Letters from Cadiz, of the 20th of December, state, that the Cortes had banished. thejate Regencl ;,and ,Castanos, the head of it, had been exiled to Gal Hole, This was univer sally consi dered as an act of most atrocious tyranny and injhetice. The following letter from our army contains some interesting rarticulars : Cartaxo, Dec. 2.9.—" Yetterday a deserter came in here, who states himself to be a Portuguese by birth, and employed in the Commissariat department of the French army, with Regnier's corps, which occupies Santarem. According to his account, that corps has only provisions for eight days in the magazines at Santarem. The army generally suffers for want of provisions. The enemy have collected boats upon the right hank of the 'Fagtis ; and, it is believed, they propose throwing a bridge across that river, about eight miles below the mouth of the Zezere, for the purpose of passing into the province of Alentejo, and that a general movement of the army is expected to take place on the 6th of January, but he knows .not with what view— whether to advance or retire. So says the deserter. 4C Positive intellig-nce has been received, that Droret's corps is in motion. They were at Celerico on the 18th, and Scrvia on the 93d ; so that if they are really coming forward they must, by t:n.e, be near uniting with the main body of the army. -Tin- following i understood to he the present distribution of the Frency army—The 2d corps (Reignier's) at Santarem ; the Gth (Nev's) at Torres 'Novas, and in the neighbourhood of that pine; the Bth, (Junot's) at or near Golegan ; Macsena's head -4tratte-s are at Torres Novas; he is s aid to he on bad terms with all his Generals, except Loisson and Frerion, the chief of 'be Staff." SPAIN. Sertft r, DEC. g.—The persons who were arrested on the VOth ult. for not paying the enormous quotas then demanded of them still remain in their houses with two geris-d'armes, who sleep In the same room with them, and receive 40 reals each per day. They are using all possible means to dischiage them, throug!i themsel-efi, and by means of their frit ..ds; the result will be. :hat they will 14 completely ruined. That which is passi. r in Seville is the most efficacious lesson that can be given to their friends in those countries who hitherto have had the good fortune not to Mint° the , claws of the French. In stonsequeoce of the , rders which have been given relative to English goods, their owners are so eager to 'dispose of them, that an handkerchief sells for two reals, and other things in pro portion. CADIZ, Dm. 11.—" We learn from Catalonia, that on the 6th of Nov. MACno II ALD retreated from Cervera, by the Calaf road, and passed t•lrt-igh the town of Marne's, which he set on fire. The inhabitants succeeded, however, in checking the tames, and there were but thirty houses destroyed. He pur oLUir au is march by the Volt road, till he reached Gerona and •,h, where he is•waiting for a large convoy, which he is c u..t to Barcelona. At Leuda he left the whol e of his NDZIL and artillery." . •
