The Expedition from Sicily yeti ordered and prepared with Lord Wr.sentaton's fall knowledge. All the details of it were well kaowa at Cadia at die end of April last, sad the Spanish Government lihd agreed - to give the ceenamed of the Spanish troops in Catalonia to Lewd WILLIAM Barrrucit, is ; the rent Of his placing himself at the head, of the forrc from Sittliy, destined to act on the toast of Ca- 1 talonia. It was likewise kaown at Cadis, that the Expedition Wu to take plate in July, and great expectations were entertained of the erect to be prodaced on the enemy by the simultaneous opera tion;.( the force ander Lord Btatrecti in Catalonia, and of the Allied Army under Lord Weeetworon. Rdly. Finding that this Expedition was suspended or delayed ; that the whole of the French force in, Spain might be brought against the Allied Army ; and that the force in their front, under MaamonT, might, from the failure of the expected co-operation from Sicily, be emboldened to act with a degree of vigour, which, connected with the difficulties which attended our means of sapply(our army, as we have already stated, being three months in arrears of pay, and there not being mere than 10,0001. in the military chest), might endanger our communication with Por tugal, and compel ns to retire with precipitation to Ciudad Rodrigo, Lord WeettneroN resolved to re ' treat gradually, by a system of manoeuvres which ' should retard the enemy's progress as much as pos. Able. This intention Lord WailaxoTos continued tb Act on till the 21st July, when, perceiving that the enethy were acquiring strength and increased means of annoyance, his Lordship determined to abandon this system of manoeuvres, and to retreat regularly, and in order, towards the frontiers of Pmo. topl, but without de/0,. 'his determination *as Carried into effect on the Sild July. 411 our stores WIC adually removed from gaiimancia t to the great consternieloti of that City, and every arrenetteett taken for retiring in the manner proposed. It is tree, no doubt, that Lord Wiwi:wren was desirous of a favourable op-1 pertueity to attack the enemy bat the enemy did , not present one. Even on the rld July, the day of the battle and victory, the enemy tnanifested t ps late 415 two fetlock, nO intention to attack ; but rather an levident desire to compel us, by dint of manoeuvres, to continue dur retrogede movement; and *son. fident mere they of the success of their plan, that the different regiments of the French army were furnished with billets, and the names of the Streets which they were to ocCupy.in balamanea.— We assert, that as late as No o'clock on the 22d of July, Lord Wrcutrotott persisted In his intention to retire to Portugal, or at least as far as Ciudad, Rodrigo; but this Intention on his part apparently .increasiug the presumption and consequent imptn deuce of the enemy, Lord Watuurrou saw what he bad long so anxiously looked for, the favourable moment of attach, of which, with his characteristic' promptitude and decide*, he immediately availed himself. From this slatple 'estimate' Stets, width, If attempted to be dueled, We have only to repeat.' disk de WOOL* of Lord Witt.Usteltres dfh• pottage, and it *NI appear, that whatever may be the determittatke of blialsters'a most onfortunate delay has atearred in the arrival of the Sicilian Ex. pedition and that 16 reality the plan of operations, , as farts it depended upon our Government at home, Ear fradrated. Iftre2MESlMAgmant22 At a late hoer last Saturday night, Mr. Keel, the Messeepr, arrived at the Admiralty, with dispatches from Sit 'saes Ssusetata. Letters from Norfolk Island, of the Ist instant, state, that the war In East Florida has been renewed with additional vigour.
