By Paris Papets to the llth, we have received Svc uET's history of the Expedition from Alicant to Tarragona, and according to his statements, an un successful course of enterprizes.npon various points of the coast.. These statements as contained in three letters from the Butcher of Tarragona,. to the French Minister, at War, dated Valencia the TortoAa the 21st, and Valencia the 25th of June,. wilt be foUnd' 111 our preceding columns. Our Readers, who with a proper veneration for, tire accuracy and truth of Gallic narratives in ,general, are in this particular instance aWare of the gross incongruities and contradictioni with which they abound,, so as to render them totally diffe rent from .each other, will be come what ,astonish 7 ed to hear that. the learned anti' virtuous 'con ductors of sundry• Well-disposed Morning pets have reposed .the most implicit reliance upon this the latest story with' which we have been favoured from France in contradiction to the preceding details of the same arlair.--Which of the two contains 'the greatest proportion of ve-. racity we are unable; to. detertniU . e ;. and till, we bear the other side (which has hitherto, we be lieve, been thought rather a fair and candid mode of proceeding); we shall abstain from following the upright example of our contemporaries in pro nouncing judgment upon the ine.rits of the'eti.se. Whether, therefore, Sir J. MtlitßAY was beat, as the Perpignan version has it, by a force from Enreelona, and forced to re-embark in disorder,.. ,with the loss 0'4,000; tin - Jime; whether he remained • to the 20th, and being frightened, embarked with little or no loss at all, according to the letters of Field Marshal SUCHET, we shall willingly leave to the able Commentators to whom we have just alluded to :resolve,. and to morrow, if they think fit, colon - Mulct:de their sa pient conclusions to the public.. 'fbe .facts stated appear to be these : the expe dition to Tarragona, like many of the admirable movements of Lord Ii r tLLINGTON iii former cam paigns, having obliged the enemy to - relinquish every other object, and concentrate an his force on one point for one purpose, Sir Janis :MURRAY del not deem it 'prudent to:fi o i , hi him to disadvan tage,„ and the more especially as he possessed the ready means of transporting his army to Other . ground, where the odds in every respect woiild be more in his,favOur, and the effect on the cam:- paign equally beneficial. The adverse state of the wi.. 1 enabled SUCIIET, by ftrreed and > harassing marches, to reach CaStellan the la 'Plana (rather more than half way from Tarragona to Valencia) on the same day with the British sgnadron, an thus save himself from being cut off from oin re'J ing IliratsPe upon the Xucar, Whither, lie continued his route, while the Expedition shaped its course to the southward. Now'really wc , eannot discover the disastrous nature of this intelligence even upon the shoving of the enemy. Our brave artily, with spirit unabated, and strength untouched in any material degree, is ready to carry. on effective operations against the foe, either upon the Xucar, or upon any point of the coast from Alicant to Cape Cer vera, where its presence may be deemed most ne cessary. On the other hand, how is Sucavr si tuated ?---After, a march of the most fatiguing, painful, and• destructive description, lie has come back only to find himself environed with swierioi forces,, and plunged deeper, into the cul-de-sac, from which there is now hardly a shadow of rea son to believe beean ever be able to extricate him self.
