Extrad of a Letter frMn Mijor-General Cooke to Viscount Wellington, dated Cadiz, December 17, 1811. I have the honour t : :):iansmit copies of dispatches from Colonel SkerrfAt to the date of the 24th. The enemy's troops, in addition to those em ployed immediately against Tarifa, extended across the pl tin to Veger, where Marshal Victor had his quarters with a strong corps. I do not learn any th•ng of General Ballesteros since my last. • SIR, Tarifa, Dec. 24, art. I have the honour to report that, on the 20th instant, the enemy invested this town with from four to five thousand infantry, and from •two to three hundred cavalry As it was not advisable to fight so superior a force, I resisted him for an hour with the - cavalry and infantry, Spanish and British piquets of the garrison, reinfot.ced by a com pany of the'9sth, and two six-pounder field-guns of Captain Hughes's brigade. Th- 'oss of the ene my -was considerable. On the 2 I st, Captain Wren, of the nth, destroyed, with his company, a small piquet of the enemy. The 22d, I made a sortie at the request of General Copons, and in conjun&ion with hisdroops, with'the intention to ascertain the number of the enemy, by inducing hial to sli.;vv his columns. HiS light troops suffered considerably from our shells. The enemy is now making his ap proaches at a long musket-shot from the town : but the ground so completely commands -us,-acid - - is so favourable to hint, that our small guns have little or no effed upon him. I hate the honour to be, &c. (Signed) J. B. SKERRETT, Col. 'lb Major,'Gen. Cooke, &c. MY LORD, Cadiz,-Dec. 3r, rSrr. I have received a dispatch from Colonel - Skerrett, dated yesterday, of which I inclose a copy. It ap pears that the enemy had brought up four sixteen pounders and some howitzers, and had opened their fire against the wall on the Q,911). The shipping had ken driven away by the gales of wind. I have, (Signed) GEO. COOKE, Maj.Gcn. The Earl of Liverpool, &c. SIR, T,trifa, rec. 30, In my last I had the honour to state, chit the enemy had invested this town on the 20th instant; since which period he has rapidly carried on a regu lar parallel and approach against the wall of the town, which I, consider as dJing _honour to the garrison. _ _ _ I have several times found it necessary to drive back the enemy's . advance, and to interrupt !►is works, in which we have met with a slight - loss, and the enemy, from be►ng exposed to the fire of the few small guns we possess on the towers, has suffer- . ed considerably. It was .only on these occasions that we materially annoyed the enemy ; for the wall of the town is so completely commanded, that, in a few bouts work, he has every where much better cover than ourselves. The enemy yesterday, °Retied his fire at half past ten, and continued to,batter in breach at a distance of about three hundred yards, with four French six teen-pounders on the east wal, near the Retiro gate, and four how;tzeri and other smaller pieces playing on the island and causeway. He continued a con stant fire until night, the first and each shot passing 011°001 th wa:l, and through some of the houses in the tear of it. Before night, a prabicat breach was etfe6ted. He this day continued to widen the breach, and,l amagine, will not attempt the assault until it is exteoled to the tower on each flank (a space of abOut forty yards.) I have traversed the streets, and taken the only measure by which there is a chance of preserving the place- . --that of de: fending the houses. The enemy's force employed in .raisingthe siege is stated ,ati 0,000 ; probably thus is in some" degree exaggerated. A constant fire of musketry is intei - chat ge.d. I have particularly to regret the loss of the service of Lieutenant Guan ter, Deputy Assistant Quarter-Master-Genet al, a very irreltigent and brave officer, who is severely wounded, Enclosed is a' return of killed and wounded since my last.

SUN ()FMB, bowning-street, Jan. 25, 18 1 1 A dispatch, of which the following is an extraa, has been received from Colonel Green, employed upon a particular Service in Catalonia. • kxtraet of a Letter from Colonel Green, dated Berga, Noy. 27, 18i I. I have the honour to report to you the progressive state of improvernent of affairs in this province, which is very great, considering the very few means there are to assist it, in addition to the very excellent inclinations of the public. The enemy hai not augmented his force in ► t his principality, having only replaced the casualties ; and there is little difference in the operations, excepting that there is a sinall flying corps off 1500 men, which is increased to three or foirr thousand men, or decreased, according to circumstances, from the garrison of Barcelona. This circumstance occa sions the towns of Mataro and Villarcuva, and others on the coast, to beco.ne more precarious ; but as all the excursions of the enemy cost them many men, it is to be supposed that they cannot continue this warfare long, without exposing their force to be cut off, which neatly happened a few days since at Mataro by -the Baron de Erole's The s!ege of the Medas Isrand is also an occupa tion '&f, the enemy ; but 1 am happy to learn, that there are apprehensions for its security. The news from Art agon is very favourable ; the entire defeat of one thousand men at Calatuyuci, by the Empecinado, is confirmed ; and; in addition to the confirmation of various mill and successful aolions of Mina, in the neighbourhood of Ziragotia, there is strong reason to believe a report, that he ha* lately attacked and routed six thousand recruits or conscripts, near Caparosso. The French force in Arran at present is very small, General Sachet having almost drained it to support him in Valencia, so that there is reason to suppose, fromevery information, that there doe; not exist more than very weak garrisons in-Zara goza,- Damen, and Jaca, and in those points abso lute necessary for communication: Admiralty-Office, Jan, 25, 1812.

Mextco, Nov. 13 —The convoy of silver vtili . ch was detained at Guer taro (go leaguesfrom Mexico) is ex'pretled to arrive here to•morrow: It brings, ac cording to some, i6OO bars' (s.oo cwt.) ; according fo others, only 600 (300 Cwi.) N , Nre shall soon leatn whit b estimate is the more wired . ; hut, in the mrato we have receiv.d, from the different gearters of the kingdom, letters, the forwarding of which been delayed until an opportunity offered for thcit safe transinissi-n. The accounts firm Cmarrnwato (seventy. nv, leagues fr,:in 1‘.1,-xico) Not; to .the 6th inslant, am! st3te !bit the army under Collaga, c•omposed of 4000 isaCitory aril you cavalry, was moving towards Z tay cuaro, where the principal corps of the it4urgents is. The &vision of General - Gat:ell Conde is also ap pronchlog,after having illflicied many severepunish mem,. in Lagos, where, on the. loth of last month, tile insurgent chief Avanda s • and a fe.inale leader, we , e shot. Other three divNions of the Viceroy's troops have failed in taking the insurgent Garcia, who, wills 600 horse, in the Province of Valladol.d; laughs at all the 'efforts made against him. The town of 8t: Miguel the Grand, in the same Province, has Leers once more laid under contribution, which is the e 3 5 ,1 with eery place as soon as the troop; of the Vice roy leave it. In fine; no sorrof security can be re lied on in the central provinces, anti every thin is in a far worse stale than lasr.year. It is 'oply in New Galicia that t here is some degree of tranquility,Whielt is owing to the activity of the troop - , in that Piovit.c.e, who haveh : !en formed into four divisions,each ofw guards a distrid. In the other provinces,' which are also less disturbed, the Government dreads a commo tion, in consequence of the destitute stale into whicti they are thrown. Such is the deficiencies of sup [hes, that even the wealthy classes of the inhabi tants are glad to dress themselves in hides. The points which now gave the 'greatest uneasinesena the Provinces of-O a x aca and Puebla. The insur rection has become general on the south,rn coast. Nine towns in Oaxaca ::are rebelled, and though 1000 m e n. have been sent against them; from the capital of the province,' it is thought they will not be easily reduced to submission ,mean whle that city remains without defence. In Puebla '(a city of 8,000 inhabitants, between Mekico.and Vera Cruz) a slight commotion had be fore taken place ; bit this day an erpress had ar rived with intelligence that ttie whole road is in fested with parties of insurgents, who•have cut otf a detachment of troops, and taken a Courier from, Vera Cruz, charged with dispatches for this Govern ment, and who was also the bearer of some to pazes, intended as a present from Mr. Cochrane Johnstone to the deceased. Archbishop. The Cou riers have had to change 'their tome, and the .troops 'which were. conduaing prisoners to .Vera Cruz, had to leave them at Puebla, and take to flight. It is known that the insurgent General Morelos, is vvith a numerous body in Mixteca, in . the province of Oaxaca. Such is the state of affairs. The difficulty of at tending to so many points, and the wcint of areas and money, are circumstances which Or; aten disa greeable, consequences, unless succours arrive se; y quickly from VER A CRUZ, NUV. t S.—Tile British frigate ify perion is about to ,sail without money, for there is none, nor will there be any fora long time. So great a scarcity was ❑ever known before. Trade, the working of the mines, and the labours of agricul ture, are all stispended. The corumun•caiiuns are all intercepted, the towns and treasuries plundered, and, in fat, all is cOntuSion and disorder. - Stvera► have already made preparations-for enrigralitig,, and all would do if they had the means. Ti►e insurrec non in the centre of the kingdom continues the same as ever; with only This thiference, that the in surgents are no longer routed as they were before, and the Provin(es of Puebla and o:xaca havesal ready' begun to produce innumerable.par ! iCi. know, that the s hole of the Southern Coast is ill complete insurreetion under the chremion of More so that the vessel which came , from could not enter Acapulco. • Troops from Spain are here anxiously expeaed, but, .in my opinion, they will only serve to aug memt the carnage which has already destroyed 20,000 , huthan beings. The time of par•tficatir: , n, is, in con sequence, past, having resorted to force only, and force now cannot have the erred. A sthart shock of pn earthquake was felt on Sa turday se'nnight at many places in Ostoidshire, and the adjoining ro:inties. - At . Tetsworth, Islip, B!etchiildon, Radley, Wolvercor, and -many other villages, he tvindows were miich shaken, and ifi mini; houses the shock was distinctly fell. • It - .was at corianied by a deep rumbling noise, similar to a ifilc)}4trf;e of heavy ..ordriatta... : La 'some [)laces this noise was heard for upwards of a minute.
