" .fSince 1 transmitted your Excellency my an terior dispatch, of the 28th ult.: I have received accounts; which (although they are not official, I believe them) informed me that Marshal Stichet on the I Ith . April, attacked the left of the posi tion which the allied Anglo Sicilian army occu pied, under the command of General Nio, tout that in the beginning :indict obtained some ad, w • ontages in Yecla and Vilicna over a division of the 2d army, comnianded by nrigadier Meynres. Yt nevertheless rippears that Sir J. Murray united alt the corps under his command On the evenin g of the 12,th, which operation was enverra by an ad, vn n eed g uard, placed in War, which retired upon thentain army, and that General Elio, with the 2d army, covered the left of the allied, Anglo •Sicilia army in its . tiew position ; the Spanish divisions of Generals Whittingham and Roche, being on the . " It seems General Stiehet marched on the 13th . towards Castella, attacked the lett of the position occupied by the allied Anglo-Sicilian army, and was driven ltck with considerable loss ; the enemrt iii consequence retired, and, aeclrding to what. I learn, Sir Joint Alurray was stil: pursuing Linn on the 16th, which I suppose is the reason of try rot baying tritheito received any official informa tion of those 'events., The enemy has made no more movements of if,portance OD this side.

The French lost many men, several ,Colonels and Adjutants were killed; and liarispe .wourletL Ducog is hem, wonntled and a prisoner.

'the plan of attttck is reported t'4,.be turned against the left flank of the Preach, in order to oblige Haan to 'abandon the line of the Douro. To effect this, the r,ritish infantry have - been Slirected to pass that river by a " magnificent," bridge of boats, and it is generally thought that the intruders will, without offering much resistance retirebe-h:nd the Ebro, nod there endeavour to Maintain themselves till the. fate of affairs in the North he decided. ,This, however, we trust, they will not be able to accomplish. Our troops are represented as being in, the highest condition, and the cavalry,' in particular, as in . the most et ficientorder. The Spanish forces, too, 'appear to be mastering strong in battle array. The division under l'op.r.tlAl has moved towards Leon.

It is stated in a Morning Paper, that at this rout in Piccadiily on Monday night, a large body of footmen forced their way into the drawing-rootnS in the most turbillen,ernanner, insisting upon their right to go up And inform their Ladies where their carriages were—an insurgent spirit that conti nued, to the great' terror or the company, until five or six of the ringleading knights of the Rain bow were vrken into custody.
