The enemy taking advantage of this incident,charg., ed our first division of foot, which occupied that point, and although it made the most gallant resistance, yet it was at length compelled to yield to the superior force of the French horse, who broke its line, notwithstanding the exemplary Vas lour it displayed. Tho vanguard posted on the left, sustained several charges of the same cavalry, bet repulsed it three times, supported by the se. rend division. At length it formed an oblong square, in which were Don Gabriel de Mendita bal, second in commend of the• said army, and Dun Martin de la Carrera, Commanding General of the vanguard, and in this it withstood the ene. my's attacks with the greatest valour. A. trues. peter was sent by the French to call upon them to lay down their arms ; they listened not to this proposal, and continued their defence. In this state of things, night came on, and the van and second division, availing themselves of it, were able to retreat by the heights on the left banks of the Tormes. The Duke del Parque ordered thereupon the whole army to retreat in the -direction of Taman Cr, and this 'retrograde movement was accordingly effected with all the order that could be desired, until the follow ing morniug, when the army bad arrived with. in a little more than two leagues distance from that town. A famour flew through the rank, of the rear of the army, thst the enemy was advanc. ing in force to charge our infantry : this rumour, and a small party of dragoons which made its ap. pearance, occasioned some disorder, and a consi. derable dispersion ; and part of the-same soldiers who fought like heroes on the heights of Alba, threw away their firelocks, knapsacks, and what. ever else they carried, to be able to effect their escape. The army then took a position in the mountains of Franca, where the dispersed troops rejoined their corps. Iti the action of Alba, the van, the first division, and part of the second,• behaved with distinguished gallantry, and actions were performed by several officers,which prove un. common intrepidity and spirit. The enemy's lonia stated, by the Commander in Chief, to he consider. I able ; but that of our army was also great, fur want of horses. " In conseqeence of the unfortunate action of Deana, the Supreme Junta came to the reso lution that their Excellencies the Marquis de la R.tmatia and Dun Rodrigo Riquelmc should pro ceed to the head-quarters in Carolina, with the: most ample powers, to make, jointly with his Excellency Dun Joas Dios Gatiema Rabe, who is already as Commissioner with the army of La Nlancha, for all such arrangements as they shall jeke most expedient to repair the loss sustained, and prevent similar Unfortunate events for the fu. Vire. The Marquis de la Romana having declinid ' this charge, the Supreme Junta has appointed in 1 his stead, kis Excellency the Marquis of Campo Sagrado, and ordered at the same time all the Go nerals who are in this residence - town, and in whom the said Commissioners place confidence, to' attend them, and izactiti their ofilets lit whatever branch of the serrice the Cismmissioners may deem it expedient to employ them. .

COROUSA, Nor. 30.—The Supreme Junta of Government having been informed of the disgrace ful dispersion of our army of La .Mancha, dis patched various expresses with directions that the mountain sharp-shooters should take the road to La Plata Almedon, and other important points, sending off at the same time a uumbee of moun tain chaisears completely equipped, and made every exertion to cover and protect this province.. Later accounts, which we het, received, are not , .., of sb gloomy a s e the first were. It is certain that oar army rallied with prompti. tude, and proceeded to re-occupy the positions it had lost. The French, who aro in Toledo, are there in considerable number, and every day make wet. sions to plunder the - neighbouring villages. They., say that it is not their intention to penetrate into the Andalusia' until Napnleen comes ; they only mean to destroy the English, who are re-.% strong. It is said, that General Mortier has gone to Cu tile with s wound in his arm, which he received at the battle of Ocana ; and that he is accompanied by Sault, with their respective divisions. _ _ _ • Arrived.

The division of the vanguard alone performed prodigies of valour, and caused the gamy tbe loss of MO men.
