L 0 ND 0 IV, 'MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1912. The report of the Orient squadron having enter ed Cherbourgh appears. to be unfounded. They-are either still cruizing, or have proceeded,upon their degination. The Walsingham packet arrived last night, iweight days, from Lisbon. Troops and artillery were push ing on fur the sieges of Badajos. The enemy is plundering the country without mercy, to provision the place : but his troops desert in great numbers; 50, with their arms, entered Lisbon in one day.— The lValsingham saw, a frigate off Brest, which had lost her toptnasts; but whether French or English could not dkco‘er. Our Dover Letter this morning contains the fol lowing most gratifying account : " His Majesty's brig Rosario, Captain FIERirEY- . ) on Friday last, while cruizyig off the FrenCh coast, fell in with a squadron of the enemy's praams, i 5 in mimber, and, notwithstanding the disparity offorce, the brave Rosario determined on engaging them, and after manceuvring so as to cut off their retreat, most nobly brought the whole to a6lion, and, after a des perate engagement, succeeded in completely defeat ing the whole squadron ; captured three, sunk one, drove five on shore, and 'the others, after a most severe drubbing, made their escape, owing to the incapacity of the _Rosario to take charge of any more. :fills action is certainly one of the noblest in our annals, and could not have 'wen achieved by any but BritiSh Seamen, commanded by tritish Officers. The following estimate of the forces en gaged on each side will speak so forcibly to the reader, that further comment may be deemed needless:— BRITISH FORGE. FRENCH FORCE. Rosario Brig, Captain Hervey, Fifteen Imperial and Royal io guns and 75 men. Praam Brigs, each mount ing six heavy guns, and manned by sa - men each, making the total, French, 90 heavy guns-750 men. " The three captured Praanis passed the Dnwns last night, in a very shattered state, for Ramsgate. We have no hesitation in saying, that had the case been reversed, and the Rosario had been French and, the Praams English, any one of them (singly) would have taken the Rosaria.--What a contrast-- what a gratification to British feeling !" We this day lay before our Readers very detailed extraas from the last Spanish and Portoguese Papers. The prospe& appears to be brightening in every part of the Peninsula, and the successes of SUCHET have been 'followed by reverses in almost every part of Spain. We have not room to enter into any observations upon the aaive and brilliant exploits of the Guerillas; we can therefore only refer our Readers to the dispatches in the Gazette, and to the official accounts in the Krtuguese and Spanish Papers. We shall only refer particularly to a pas sage 'in a dispatch of Lord WELLINGTON, which fully confirms the assertion we have made, that the French are really only in possession of those parts of Spain which are occupied by their troops. It appears, that the French cannot even send a courier from Valladolid to Bayonne without an escort of 250 ca valry and infantry, and the courier is obliged for his safety to ride in the middle of them, and his horse is led by a Serjeant, who has a cord fastened to the bridle ! The idea of a Courier marching in procession with his dispatches is really ludicrous.—The siege of Ba dajoz has commenced, and the French must either suffer that important fortress to fall, or abandon their other objets in the South-east Of Spain, and collea a large force in the neighbourhood of Badajoz to raise the siege ; in either case, most important advantages will result to the Allies. STATE OF HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. .6 Windsor Castle, March 28: "The KING continues nearly in the same state." The ciuttarr and PRINCESSES are expeaed in town to-morrow, to dine with the PRINCE REGENT. The PRINCE is expeEted to hold a Levee on Thursday se'unight. Lord Rivnas was the Lord in Waiting. General GWYNNE attended for the Groom. Yesterday Lord CASTLEREAGH gave a grand din ner to the Duke of MONTROSE, the Marquis of HERTFORD, the Earls of CHOLMONLIELEY, YAR MOUTH, BATHURST, and LIVERPOOL, Lord -BUCK INGHAMSHIRE, Mr. PERCEVAL, and a large party, at h:s house in St. James's-square. Yesterday Lord MELVILLE had a long iuterview with the Duke of YORK. • Mr. LI4TON left town to-day, on his mission to Constantinople, attended by Mr. Fisnha. Colonel HORSFORD, of the isth regithent, is ap pointed a Brigadier-General, and to the command of the troops at Eau-Pada. NAVAL W S. PLYMbuTH, MARCH '2B.—The Pelona brig cif war that put-in here yesterday ) from Portsmentri, witha . small convoy, bound to Gibraltar, sailed late last Light. One of her convoy did Rot proceed; which was the transport ship Benjamin Slialv, C. master, with a cargo of stores, she having a short time previous to the departure of the Pelo? us, ran foul of the ship Fox, J. MACK, master, (one of the Serapis's convoy, that put in here -yesterday); frOM Leith, with a cargo bound to Gibraltar, Malta, and Messina„by which both vessels were - damaged, the latter had her bowsprit carried away, and soon after the accident dyined ashore on Drake's Island, but was got oft again,• and, we understand, did not receive . slay material damage in her bottom ; it is therefore expected that both vessels will proceed . , from hence for their destinations; in company With a small fleet tinder the proteCtion of the Serapis store sl,eip, 'which are now at anchor in the Sound.— A few outward-bound vessels, that were driven in here by contrary winds, sailed with the Pelorus. The American schooner Hotspur, Captain No- WELL, that was detained and sent in here yester day, on her voyage from Baltimore to Bourdeaux, by the Andromeda frigate, stw a French cutter, pri vateer engaging a vessel in the Channel, on the 25th instant, supposed to have been an English mer chantman ; the Hotspur was at some distance from the hostile ships, but she left them continuing the a6tion. It is expeeed tint the cutter is the same that has been cruizing.for several days past in the Channel, with considerable success, commanded by the famous Capt. BLACK, and which was formerly the Chesterfield Guernsey packet, captured sonic time since. Arrived the American ship Cyrus, J.ThomrsoN, Master, from London, in ballast, bound to Boston. MARCH 28.—The Serapis store-ship, with a con voy for the Straits; and the Alert b loop of,war with a convoy for Qucbec, Nova Scotia, and New Bruns wick, are detrained here by contrary winds, it blow ing a gale from the Westward, and the greater part of the latter have put into Cdtwater. Arrived yesterday the Thracian sloop of war from Guernsey.--A few days since she reconnoitred the harbour of Cherbourg, in which were five sail of the line, in apparent readiness for sea, which, it is supposed, are not the Orient squadron that escaped a few days since, but ships that have - run in there from another of the enemy's ports. A detachment of the 46th Regiment arrived here on Wednesday from Kingsbridge, and embarked immediately for Guernsey, on board a tralsport in Hamoaze, which sailed the following day, under convoy of the Alphea schooner, both which put back yesterday by stormy weather. Arrived the Providence, BENNET, from Ipswich ; the Pheasant sloop of war, from a cruize; and the the Bawcombe, CRISPIN, from Lvmington. Sailed the Lord Cochrane hired brig to the east ward ; Hermes sloop of war on A cruize off Scilly ; • and the Intelligent gun brig for Falmouth, with a rudder for the Conquestador man olwar, that put in there a few days since in great distress. FA LM 0 UTH, 'MARCH 27.—Arrived the Intelligent sloop of war from Plymouth, with a rudder for hi; Majesty's ship Conguestador, which sails the first fair wind for that port, accompanied by his 'Majes ty's ship Rota ; also arrived the IPalsinghain packet, ROBERTS, in eight days from* Lisbon, with INlcils; remained there the Princess Elizabeth packet. Arrived the Marlborough packet, Bull, front Lisbon ; his Majesty's ship Orestes ; and Friends, Lawins, from Milfati Two Friends, from Waterford ; Ann, Bartlett, from Liver. pool; Mary, Skinner,. from Gibraltar ; ,Modesty, Wise, from St. Michael's; anditis Majesty's ship Ganymede, Cadiz ; the Thomas, Tripe, from Majorca; and the Portu guese brig Esperanza (la Costa, from Lisbon,:for Londan. The siege of Badajoz v‘ - 'as expeetecl to commence immediately ; Lord. WELLINGTON lett . Elvas on the 12th inst. for Badajoz.—Anivals of flour from Ame rica were numerous. ISLANDS OF SCILLY, MARCH 22. , - . —Sailed his Ma jesty's sloops °Altos . and Scylla, with a large con voy of merchantmen, bound coist wise up Channel, and which had been detained here by the last east erly winds. MARCH e4.—Remains in harbour his Majesty's 'ship Pheasant, arrived from a cruize in the Channel. We are sorry to announce theloss of the Wood bank, bound from Liverpool to the United States, on the North Coast of Ireland. The cargo was valued at about 30,0001. a snail portion of whicLl has been saved. • . On Monday last, Captain CARTERET, of his ni jesty's ship 'Naiad, was going in his boat (a gig) from Portsmouth to Lymington, when it upset off Cowes, and three men were unfortunately drowned. Capt.. C. was pick&l up greatly exhausted, and taken to Cowes. A horse camp, it is said, will shortly beestabllsh ed on Lavant Contriton, two mileq from Chiehester: We copied a paragraph from ,the. Morning Papers of Saturday, which stated that the late Jonig:iionNE Toot( E was buried-in his Garden (•:: Friday.

SPANISH PAPERS'. - CADIZ, D.TARC'II 5.-A vessel bringing an otTical account from General BALLASTEROS has beeti taken; the dispatches were sunk', and . the officer who con veyed them conduCted to. and treated is the Most infamous mariner. Fes, t is reported that two columns ofpli soners taken in Valencia have been liberated in their march by the patriotic parties. At.!CANT, FEB. g.--The dispersed are uniting; General Root's and the English Consul, Torres, are re-animating the public spirit, assisted by many good - Spaniards, who, from. being cas! duwn by the infamous - condua of the egotists, renew their oaths 'to die-cr live-free. Tile damages are inconceivable which Freoce vandalism has- caused in the beau tiful Kingdoms of Valencia and Murcia. General Dc LA CRUZ is ,not now Governor of fhis, place, General SAN JUAN having succeeded him in it. The French, as usual, have exaggerated their triumph over Valencia. It appears that the Regency of Spain has refused to rattly the treaty concluded between Viceroy Emo, and the Junta of Buenos Ayres. We are assured that thtt French have drawn I I battalions , of the line from bef(*)re Ca,liz, and march ed them in the di;;e6tion of _Tarifa, and that on the BAI,LASTEBOS was in Algesiras, and his troops in Ximenes and its vicinity.
