There art ao official accounts from the Centrj army, radar General CASTANIOS. either in the Ma drid Gazettes or in those of Commis, n Itieli ure so late as the gth. It is stated that his head-quarters ' were at Calahorra on the 28th, and it aiqicars that the advantage which the French obtained at Lerin, sad which was so much vaunted of its the Putts Journals, was very trifling. It is said. that, aeronl ing to the last accounts from St. Ander(); Marshal NET remised at Bilbos, with only $OOO men, the remainder of his army having marched to co-ope rate WI so attack on General Cates sus. but there SIM' mete suspicion that this movement was a stratagem intended to induce (Sentra! IlLami6 *advance and attempt to retake the place. It will beam considerable time before the army un der General BAIRD can arrive at the theatre of the war. It appears from an ndvertisement in the Co runa& papers, that our troops wire to have canton ments at Lugo, Villafranca, and Aitorga. Persona are invited by that advertisement, to contract for supplying the British forces at these places, and during the whole of their march from Caroms to Burgos, with provisions and forage. If any success attend■ the French arms in Spain, it is expected, Icy 111inisters, that the first accounts of it will be received through France, as BONA PASTE being now with the army, the eliquelte established is, that regular Bulletins shall he issued by the Moniterr, as being the Court Gazette of the country. We may therefore infer, with some degree of certitude, or at least of probability, that. down to the 12th—that is, a Meek after Box araterr is asserted to have been at Vittoria,which way on the sth, nothing very great had been effected. Be cause, if any great event had happened, down to the 12th, it would have been known at Buyoone on the 14th, and communicated, by telegraph, in a few hours, to Paris. From thence it would And its way here in two or three days, as the news of Austerlitz and of Auerstadt did in 1805 and 1806. It is not believed that BAIRD', army can get to the theatre of war before the lit of December, ft, in order to be enabled to find provisions for the troops, they are necessitated to march by two widely diverging roads. The Proclamation of the Supreme Junta, nam ing the brother of General PALAIVIL to visit the armies, in quality of a Field Deputy from the Go vernsamth has excited apprehension that jealousies might•triae from it. But no appearances or symp-. toms of such a sentiment bad arisen among toe Spaniards, by the latest accounts received from Spain. _ _ The present aspect of affairs in Spain, the re lative position of the armies contending in Biscay, and 'along the course of the Ebro, down to the sth of this month—above all, the arrival of Nato .l.Ecite in person on the scene of action, exactly at that period of time; all these circumstances awaken deep as well as serious matter of reflection. They prove, indeed, too demonstratively, the incapacity, ' want of rlilarged views, and total defect of judg ment, in those who have conducted Hia MAJESTY'S Councils. We arc animated by no spirit of fac tion or of opposition to Government, in passing this sentence on the conduct of our Administration. Truth, misfortune, and the duty that we owe to ' our common country, alone impel us to assert, as they will enable us to prove, the facts that we al lege. It must be obvious to every man who reflects, and it is self-evident, _that BON AP•RTF, when he marched an army under JUNOT scion; Spain, to Lisbon, twelve mouths age, counted on the com plete acquiescence of the %Spanish Crown and Go vernment, prospectively, in all his measures of 4io lelice, ambition, or stioliation. If be had then expected, or if be could even have foreseen, the rl sistance and patriotic insurrection of the whole ua .tion against inui, which took place since his inva sion of Portugal, doubtless he *ever would have engaged in such an- enterprise. .Thus, the act which, when undertaken by fflol, was justilleil by the cotia - 48g circumstances, we mean, in thitesti- Mate of atetiacinus Vaarper, who triunples en all Marti ties eF treatiev basest street fatal and • ritinikiesiperatien, fr6sb 91e)notilit *lt the Spa niards rose in 'tp:wiii:isalkSit him. - itrwoy, and 41s0 itil-netit^rait *clops. cent pletely isolated, were 'hut Itp ilt[tholairts aleig the-Tagus, without a hope or a piisaibilitpor••escipi:'•• They might, it is true, fer - i eiert 004 ilti* (Spews, or pillage the Portiglese ; heft . 081' Oeuld steititer extend any aid to tlieir Ruler r sir could they even sinus mit to France the - fruits-Of their rapine and plun der: Woad any suerelyfor the object of emancipating Perter 4 a few i q which losiiiiiiiiiirpollod , BAsst cat,. film - Alava, , • pidelir,... . milk 4041 100 4 . 1 .

Consequent - , tbe great road, mull all thepaases of the Pyre mob between Irusi and . liittoria, leading from iliYinine to Burgos and Madrid, would have been acupied by the patriots before the commencement of winter. Ye have seen that the Corsican, baf fled in his projects of conqueit, was unable to send any reinforcements of magnitude to Spain, during September and October. He was even Ise cessiusted to repair to Erfurt, aiid there to induces ALexo soca to form new connexions of policy.and of friendship with him, before he could venture to transfer his forces from Polcncl, Prussia, and Ger many, to the countries beyond the Pyrenees.. And when he should at length have arrived in person, he would have found the access through Guipuscoa and Biscay completely shut against him. He might have perhaps attempted to enter Navarre or Catalonia, but by the direct road to the capital of Spain, lie could not have penetrated. facts, and this reasoning, are so oleo, as contradiction or evasion. That which the incapacity of Ministers the pusillanimous or timid conduct of our rals consummated. As WWI as Spain was in arm., throughout all the provinces, what must have been the printery wish and object of Bonararcrs ? To recover and to liberate an army of veteran troops. cat of from all assistance, incapable of giving or of receiving any succour. What must have been his second wish ? To have thnt army sent back to him in British transports; together with all their ammunition, arm., and • good proportion of the plunder that they had amassed. Above all, to in duce the enemy to trausport his troops to anal places in the 'French dominions as might enable litins from thence speedily to march them back into Spain ; while the enemy, by thus employing their cruel. to convey the French to Rochelle and Qui heron, should, in fact, local -curate their own army, and compel them to traverse all Spain, in order to join their Allies on the Ebro. 1I e must admit, that such would have been BoNAVIRTIt's wishes. But who could have supposed that any British Generals would have realized them ? Yet this is precisely done by the Convention of Cilitra.
