FRENCH PAPERS. G; • tFURTHEII EXTRACtS..) ,AIINISTRY OF WAIL--,ARMY OF TIDE NORTH OF SPAIN. Since the events of Salamanca, there have passed in Biscay, and in the rear of the. Arnarof the North, .different military actions, the principal details of which we are going to give. Upou the first intelligence of the retreat of the Army of Portugal, and of the dispositions made , by the enemy to' follow in its movements, Gen.' Count Caffarelli, .commanding the Army of the North, thought it his . duty to immediately, call .to him, and concentrate the troops under his . orders ; in order to be ready toadvasice, if circumstances should require it. Orders were consequently' disk petalled to all the Generals commanding upon dif 7 Sereht points of Biscay; and Generalßouget, maudant at Bilboa, particularly received orders, on the 7th of August, to evacuate that - place , . .4nd. immediately proceeded to Vittoria. This order Was instantly executed, ,and the hospital was evacuated; when the General ix Chief of the Army of the North, better informed of the situation o.f the Army of Portugal, and of the resources 'it still preserved, wished to preserve Bilhaa, and • countermanded his first order ; but the abandon ment of this town was already consummated ; the movement of the retreat of the garrisbn had corn= 7 menced, and General Rouget, ernbracing a inid d-le course, halted at Durango, with the appro bation Of General Caffarelli, and with orders; that as Bilboa was evacuated, to prevent, at least, the. enemy from establishing themselves. in it. In effect, immediately after, the departure of the garrison,' all the bands which infested the province marched upon Bilk/a. General Rouget, on being informed of their arrival, and conformably to - his orders, pushed forward a reconnoissaince upon the: place ; where the insurgents, in number 5000 Men, • belonging to the bands of Marquesito, Mu gartigni, and Pinto, with Renovales at their head, were already lissembied : but at the sight of the French, and notwithstanding their superiority of number, the insurgents, 'in disorder, and with precipitation,•evactiated the town,.and took a po sition on the meighbotiring heights. General Rouget entered, th . o place with three companies. The Alcade and Municipality of Bilboa, who did not, expect his arrival, presented themselves with all the appearances of sincere joy. The recep tion of the inhabitants- vas in unison with that of thO Magistrates: Nevertheless, the insurgents, posted upon the. surrounding heights, astonished, and quickly. emboldened by the weakness of the Prench column, hazarded an engagement, and at tacked upon several points. In all these attacks, Which, were renewed the following day, they were briskly repulsed their loss was at least three hundred. men ; .our's,! seven killed, and fourteen Wounded. All the Chiefs of Bands, and thesCommandant , of the English squadron, joined at Bilboa, and quickly their forces being assembled, they formed the project of attacking Rouget even at Durango. General Rouget immediately resolved' to antici pate this movement; 'and on the 21st, reinforced by some troops, advanced in order to surprise the enemy, the whole of whose forces were collected at Zornoza, where they occupied a formidable position. The 40th regiment was charged to turn that position ; but the enemy, timely informed, struck their camp during the night, and . took the same direction as the French army,whoSe March and intention were thus discovered. After very brisk engagement, the operation . having failed, General Rouget determined upon retiring to his positions, and retired' by Arabezua. The enemy wished to interrupt the movement of the French troops; but vigorously repulsed, and dis c , heartened by their losses, they ceased from inter; , . rupting..its execution.. The Journal de Paris of the 25th Oct. after giving an exact copy of the account of the arrest of the three Ex-Getkerals, as stated in the Ilioni- teur of the preceding ' day, adds, "The abOve order was read last night, by torch-light, in all the squares and places where' 'several streets Theet, in Paris. The reading, which attracted a numerous concourse of people of all' classes, was every where followed by reiterated and general exclamations of ' Long live the Emperor.' " SMITHFIELD MARKET, Nov. t.

The Court met at the usual hour, and proceeded on the trial of Winter, Allen, Taylor, Ivey, Knox, Cooper, and G. Harris, which had been suspended on the night preceding. - Brown resumed his evidence.-LFenWick was sent with the silk to Cooper ; witness and the others in• company,' remained_ at the Leap Bar until he're turned ; he was then in company with Ingram.— Cooper came soon after, and was told by Caddick that there was 1100 cwt. of silk ; to which he an . - swered, be did not care how tuna there was, as would pay for it in proportion as it was de livered to him. It was then agreed that he should pay twenty shillings iu the pound 'for it.. Joseph Winter, the prisoner, then told Cooper that- he Wanted Some money 'to send to his Master for the -hire of the barge ; upon Which Cooper gave hint three pounds, and desired them to take care of .themselves, and not keep together. They were to Inca next morning-at . an old iron shop in Golden lane, but as be and Winter were proceeding to the rendezvous, they were apprehended by Goff, the .officer. • The witness, was, in Consegnente, 'lodged in the New Prison ; and while there, Sa muel Harris, - the attorney, came to him without having been sent for. 'Winter, who was also in the same prison, told the witness, that Harris had also called.upon him, but he did-not know who had senthim. Harris then called Winter and the into a back yard, and told them that he had got instructions from Cooper to defend them, and to assist theM with money, and that he would ',. send ; his brother to : them. Next day, George Harris, the prisoner, came to, them with 20/.- tell, ing them that - they should want for nothing while they ,were there---and that, provided they kept their own counsel, nothing could happen to them. About five, 'afterwards, they sent Taylor and B. Allen, who had come to see them, for more money ; arid the day ,after, the . prisoner, George Hsrris, brought them 14/ . . more, as he Said, from, his brother. At 'another time he 'Nought t'-An 10/. and -shortly • after they were discharged. At the Thames Police Office they received 21. more froth Mr. S. -Harris.— Shortly after, Avitness and Winter called on Cooper, at his bOttse in ltitcliffe-highway, for more. Money ; but. be demurred, Considering the great advances he . bad already made to' several of: them. It was.agret , d, however, to meet at the' Sir William Walworth; next day, and to settle the• ,business, Winter and witness went accordingly, and were met by .Cooper and Ingram. ' They re- . tired into the skittle-ground, to converse more freely, when .Cooper said, he had declared before he would give only 9001. for the whole. This, they exclaimed, was not half-enough; but Cooper said, he had agreed to give only sixteen Shillings per pound for the silk, and this made exactly-9001. as to the feathers, be had only twenty pounds of them: If, however, Winter would' go with him, he would give him 501. and settlellie-balanCe, he having paid in all nearly 600ra to several of them, and to Winter and witness 120 L The witness, ac companied by Winter, went accordingly to Cooper's house, but were desired to go to the second public house from his; and to wait till he came, which they did, They were soon; however,' apprized by. Ingram, that he had been apprehended. Ingrain, at the same time,._hrought him 201. which heiaid,. was' all Mrs „Cooper had,-and. advised theM to dis perie.

WitneSs was then lodged in Cold R. /I-fields pri son, where Cooper bad been sent before MM. He had. some .conversation with him through a gate before two courts,. and : hearing he meant to hang ~- thern 'all, he sent a Message to that effect to Al len, Taylor, and Winter, confined in other parts, ,of the prison, and was himself admitted by the Magistrates as King's evidence, and was diScharged from Cold Bath-fields prison. . . G. Scares, 'a 'lighterman, , had met Brown and :Winter at the Harp; in Harp-lane, on the Satur day before the .Sisters hoy was robbed, and was • offered to take a share in the business, but he de '! 'elided it as being too dangerous; Brown wanted Aid), to go to -the boy and personate Bampton, t btast he would have nothing to say to the business: Winter said afterwards, that be would think no `MOO Of . killing Bampton than to ' shoot at a sparrow. Bampton was a deceitful man ; he „might have. ran his vessel ashore. at Old. Haven, or on the Bligh Sand; without incurring any sus picion, instead of which he bad deluded them by. false prothises, and. had Made him spend all his money. :After the robbery, witness gave. informa tion of those circumstances to Mr.' Lucas, his employer. • Mr. Lucas corroborated that part of the last. 'witness's - testimony which related to him, and stated also that he had given information of it to Mr. Hotchson. Ralph Fenwick, examined by Me.

I am acquainted with George lirowa,whoi , as -well as myself, has been. admitted King's eyi 7 pence.—lis June last, he asked me to go down the Riser with him to get some silk, to which I consented. We went to Gravesend, but,' not being_ very: successful, we. returned to town. I then agreed to go down, on the 29th of June, on another expedition. Some. time , after I met with Ingram, at 'a public-house inWhitechapel, who offered to buy part of any silk which . we might procure... Next day he, in company with Cooper, met Ingram, who said, there ,was alarge' tiudritity of silk at Stangate Creek ; but expressed . his unwillingness to speak before Cooper, who wag", a stranger to him.' But being- told that all present were friends, he said, that a vessel, laden With silk, . Was then lying at ,Stangate . Creek, that 'she was to be unloaded by a boy, and that it would be easy to take the property from ' the Tatter vessel. 'Cooper said, he did not care where the silk came from—he could get money for:as , much as Might,be. I requested him, to ac-. company me to the Borough, to see Brown and , the rest of the party. Cooper said, he would ea s .: , then deal with one only, as be did not like that so , -many persons should know his :biisiaess.— Ingrain and I then went with him to Brown, at his mother --in 7 law's house,. in the 80 7 - rough, where they talked , apart from me.— Ingranr:then went away with me, and it was agreed.that notice Should be given' when to go to Dagenhani-beach, to receive the silk, when stolen. Ingram was ordered, on the : next Thursday, or. Friday, to , go on- board Winter's barge, at Greenbitfie, 'which he did. He -took on. board myself, William . Armstrong, Joseph Winter, 'and William Winter, at Gravesend, for . the purpose of stationing ourselves; and then sailed to SheernesS, where we remained for a day. and a lialf.', In the mean time, 'Bampton came ons board, with -another man, whom I belieeeto be Knox, the prisoner: .' Bampton in formed us, that the quarantine had expired, and that lie ,would begin to unload about four o'clock the next day. Brown and his companions then _ 'directed me to go to London, and apprize Cooper of the. delay which had taken place in procur hug the goods. I accordingly went, but could not, inch Cooper at home. I 'then: endeavoured ,toiAteslngram, -who was gone to a fair at Ep- ' ping Foresf.. I went to the fair, and told him the - goods could not arrive on the Friday.— Ingram objerved, that he and Cooper had waited all day at Dagenham, and he promised to be there on the Saturday. I immediate:y returned to Sheer neis; where I went on board Winter's barge.— Bampton's' boy sailed soon after, and Winter's vessel was within musket-shot of. her during the voyage. A man came on board from- the boy, whom I did not then know, but I since learned to have been Knox. In consequence , of the vessel not being run ashore, I heard my companions say that if was a d--d bad job. One amongst them said, if the business was to be done at all, a . signal .must be given. Another of them: ob served, that there was an old fisherman- on board the boy, 'who knew the River navigation ' as well as any of them, and, consequently, that. .nothing could be done till they arrived in Lon don, at the Custom-house road... They called' Bampton a deceitful sort of a :man, for inn . posing upon them. They followed the boy to Gravesend, where I went on sh6;.e. 'This -was . - on the 4th of July. • Next day I arrived in London, and happened to see Cooper and In- , gram, at St. George's Church, in the Borough., They were coming to town on the top of a stage coach ; they immediately came down,. and -corn plained, that I had nbt come to'Dagenham,where they had waited all Friday and Sattirdayand observed, that they were trifled with. In taking , a walk up the Borough, met J.. Winter and W. . Allen—we. went into the back parlour of an, inn, where we had some conversation. I then informed - them, that I was determined to have nothing fur ther to do with the business. On the Wednesday . . after the robbery was contmitted, I was going over the quays, by the Custain=bouse—l saw a number of'pers'ons' standing there, and heard from them that the hoy had been . robbed—, I then went to Lambeth to lobk after Winter:" I asked him whether he could tell me where Brown was -? . He said Fshould find him at the Royal Oak, at Vauxhall,- 'that- : afternoon.. I went there with Winter ;' ArmStiong came in soon after, and Benjamin Allen; and, in the course of time afL tcrnoon - Brown also came in. I-did not know any one then.except Winter, to ask about the silk, 1 and nothing passed on the subject in j ury pre sence. frown and Winter went into the passage together, soon after which they returned to the robin; I left the : house with Brown, and we wentAii Ivey's house, No. 1.

After' dinner he desired me and !imam to go to Blackfriars-bridge and , wait for I:itn. We waited some time, but he did not come to us, and we then went to the Leaping-bar, but lie was not there ; afte,. which Ingrain and I went to his house, and remained till he returned. He told me he had seen Brown, Caddick, and Norman, at the Leaping-bar, and had settled about the silk with: them. Hesaid he was going next morning to meet them at a house in Golden-lane, to arrange about taking the silk away. Caddick, Cooper, Ingram, Norman and I, went to this-house in Golden-lane. —JUst as *e left it, George /Brown's brother came up, and told me, in private, that Winter and his brotherAvere tak en into custody on Thursday night. That afternoon I went to Cooper's house, and told him that. Brown and Winter were in custody. I bad heard that Evans, the officer, had been making inquiry after me, and 1 asked bim what I bad better - do, - :He told rue I had better go down to fire country, .along 'with Ingrain, out of the way, for if I was taken the bUsiness -would look blacker. I told him Livanted money to enable me to leave town, and he answered, Ishould have what money Lwanted: - Caddick" came in, in the mean time, and requested Cooper to give him 50/. Cooper gave . 01. to me, at first, but afterwards said, he had to give Brown 31. and if I would give him 3/. back, that would make an even- ,50/.. I did give him back the 3/. and Caddick then declined having 'any. I went with Ingram down to Chadwell, and remained there six weeks, chiefly at Thomp son7s. I slept mostly at the Greyhound public house. My wife came down tOrhadwell to me, and staid there part of the time. After being there a fOrtnight or three weeks, I came to London to see Cooper. I went to a public-house in Pic cadilly that belongs to him. I tact him there, and found Caddick, Norman; and a man they called Uncle Dick, in his company. They seemed con fused at my presence, and' stopped their conversa tion. Cooper and Caddick went out into the pas sage—Coopet and I sPoon after left the house together. I asked him how long - I — was to stop in the country ? He said, in-a very few days time I might come home, and that he should have the remainder of the silk in his possession. He said he had a great deal of trouble With Caddick and Norman, -as they were bad characters. I then went back to Chad Well.
