Spaniards, .-The Re i gencv, in taking upon them- . selves the Government of .the Spanish Nlonar e hy entrusted to them by the Cortes in their decree of the 2.2 d instant, could do no less than .fix their whole attention on the critical circumstances in *hid* the nation is placed,' and on the immensity of . their obligations. They do not, however, entertain for a single moment the horrible-idea that the fero eious twiny who besets us will ul imately accom plish the subjugation of the heroic Spanish, people, who are now in the sth year of the inglorious re sistance: You' raised the cry of independenCe and of vengeance, even when deprived of your' Princes, when your laws and institutions were trampled, un der foot, when destitute of resources. ; ,and without either armies, generals, or a centr4 and'respedta ble golternment. Even then, y6U compered : you have continued the contest, and, you have .gone ors progressively ameliorating your institutions so as to assem'ele the Cortes, to establish n goternment on the most legitimate basis,. and through the medium of your representatives, to form a constitution which is to raise you to the prosperity and grandeiir of which you are worthy. True it is that the sacral tire of patriotism burns throughout the whole went of the Peninsula,—that the war becomes everyday moro obstinare s —your hatfed to a fureign domina tion inure inextinguishable, —the desire ut vengeance' ronger,'—yonr love of liberty, and cif our legitimate King, Ferdinand the Seventh, more inflamed; but it is also ißtr, that now is the, time to, render 'such great itacrifices more useful, 'to exterminate with de. cision the abuses which aredevouring us as the ire vitable consequences of our ancient disorder, which could not be repaired amidst so Many agitations. It is now time to apply with effeet to the great re sources which we possess to the desired object whielt occupies out minds. Such arc the duties of yOur new Government ; it acknowledges them publicly, and it promises their foltilment. 0 Spaniards ! fil your duties with the greatest constancy, and the most indefatigable energy. There have reached the Government, the cries of the arrbiet which defend us, deputing their painful privations ; the groans of the inhabitants of districts ready to tall under the yoke of the barbarous invaders; the complaints of the provinces already occupied, alWays loyal, though oppressed and laid waste. Behold the, situation of your new Government ; hear the demands which are made upon its attention, at the very moment of its.eammencing its painful funttions; behold the extent of its wants ! To Answer roue own wishes and those of your representatives, it is necessary to overcome all the obstacles which have enfeebled the arrangements of authority, and to support the dig nity of Govern yen with a majesty Correspond ing to that of the P eo pl e b y w h om it has- beet' form ed. The very nature of this war, in which the sa cred interests of ieligion, of the nation, and of the King are defended, imperiously require it. The im: petoons and persevering character of the enemy re quires it nista. The strength of our alliances nsust be founded on this; and the Wet) , of 'the country depends entirely and exclusively oil the terielest union between all, and on the stteegth of your Go vernment, Monstegneur, By my letter of the 21 at inst. I had the honour of annex - ,,n,ing, that having been informed the ene my had 01.•setrbIrd the greater part of their ferces in the intighbourhood of Tarragona, and that, assist ed by the Entoi4li, they intended to assault that for tress, I had ordere , l the General of Division .L. - tware.er, to eistich with 5000'nien t and effemi OS soon yee,inle a junc ion tkith Gen. Mathieu, Governor of Barcelona, whom I had informed Of, the meve mcnt, as well as to unite with that diviiion 3000 tneuol the garrison, to take the command of the vituAtt, and march against the enemy. General La mareu, did'not receive his orders till the evening of tbt.),gth; irii division was thee near °lens de Mar, bier he - etas otsliqed to return by Turdera to Hosta lrich, tor pro Visions. Ott the 20th at noon, he de parted from thence, and on. the else ih,eight in she evening arrived ern' Barcelona At that instant Gen. Mathfte, wi , h his indefatigable zeal and activity, marched with the 'brit - ;ade of jOOO men he Ilad form-' - -ed, commanded by the Genera) of Brigade Devause, and in the night ,eized upon the heights which 'commanded the entrances of the neighbouring Col D'Ordal. Oe e2d, at five in the afternoon, Ire occupied Vt is Franca; the division of Limar' (lee took a position in it at midnight. • The.ohjefi proposed by Gen. Mathieu, Of de ceiving the • bemy in regard to the number of troops brought against them, by making his troops e4c cessively march, secceeded so completely, that Baron D'Eroles, peribaded he had only 3000 of the garrison of Barcelona to contend with, set out on the Zed in the morning from hens, to give them battle, haughtily observing, that with 6000 troops lie knew he.was in the right. An intercepted letter' confirmed the error of the insurgent Generals, but in order not._ lo g;Ve them time to• undeceived, Gee. Mathieb matched from Vendrewon the 23d at eleven at night ; he forced some advanced posts, which sere in advance of Twits D'Enbarra, and arriving before day-break upon the heights of Alta Fouilld, discovered by the enemy's fires they were upon the heights which commanded the right banks Of the river Gaya, their right supported by the sea, end their left occupying the extreme point above Tarran. • The Curates are not exempt from the obligation' of obeying such iyranical orders. fie has carried his cruelty to%ruch a height as to si.out some men, who being ordered to take up arms did not obey. Oo the 22r1 I marched froM aot itPo'n St; Estive de has. All 061 my three columns had seen the preceding day having retired' upon Repoli, or hidden themselves in this country, which is most difficult of access. All the troops under Generals Clement and Bear man, having joined in 5. % Estive de Bas, 1 made the necessary divositions tor forcing the chain of moun• tains between 'Vie!) and :ol9t. The enemy had constt tided seven stone intrench ments, one above another, to defend the Ossai;e, which is extremely narrow, and which can only be turned by making a long detour, atid by points very difficult of access.

LYtions, in their History of tha County At break of day seeing that a heavy snow con. firmed, and judging that the quantity fallen during the night would offer great obstacles to the columns, from the right anti left, 'arriving at the summit, as well as. afterwards to their getting in the rear of the enemy, I came to the resolution of abandoning my first dispositions. General Clement marched, having at the bead of his advanced guard Captain Peyol's company of mi gimlets. After clambering more than two hours and a half, the head of the column arrived at, the first entrenchment, where a post of fifty men only were found, who, after firing a few shots, fled, to tally abandoning the amphitheatre which, was to have prevented our passage. At four in the after noon, all the,ttOops were arrived in the village of ,Esquiral. The same day I established my head quarters at Ruda, the advanced guard passed the Ter, and pushed its reconnoitring towards Vich. On the 24th my troops entered Vick; many of the inhabitants remained in it, others abandoned the town for the same reason as those of Olots I learned at Vich, that Sarsfield set out two days before in the direction of Centelles. ". This parish was the birtl.•place of: Thoma 'Hall, who, haVing attained almost to the height our proportion of manhood; died at the age of five year , and ten, snonths„ on the 3d of September, 1747 An account of this extraordinary boy'..wasilub).ist)e.e in a pArnpldet, 'called Pr . ociiirem by Mr. Diwkes; a Surgeon.

In the stomach were, found a veial ha' digested human limbs, .the heads of two childtet and more than 20 stoma--probably swallowed order to assist digestion. ' All the dispositions were made for debouching upon the enemy at break of day; then were they attacked with that order so habitual to the French. . Not being able to obtain positive accounts re speeting the place where this Chief of the insurrec tion and his division was, my troops being extreme ly fatigued by the painful marches they had made the preceding days, and that many others would be employed in clearing the mountains wltie h separate Vich from aircelona, I allowed them to rest till two o'clock in the afternoon of the 250, when they were again pot in motion upon the road of Thria. In taking thp . direcaion, 1 left the spies of the ene my in uncertainty'respeeling the point to which. I was actually going, since I might, by proceeding by the Cul de Collispena, an extremely ditliculi passage,penetrate on Manresa, or intend descecdiug by the well iy of Conyost to reach Granollers. I marched upon Caldas; my advanced guard con1:1 not arrive before midnight. During the long and ` painful match, not a musket was fired. e In passing thiough the village of Centelles, I ' learned that Sarsfield, with four horsemen, passed the preceding night there, and was supposed to hate gone to Moya, and from thence th Manresa. The difficulty of the toad, which I had experi enced, made me conclude that the troops of my, left would not arrive ai Caldas, before day ; I there• fore ordereo General Benerman to take some repose at St. Felice, and proceed ro Caldas. The renr'gusrd did Rot arrive. till four in the morning at. St. Felice. He had just marked the po sitions his troops were to take, when ,an enemy's column sndderdyiell upon the troops which were observing the road which cot:KW-led to that position. These were the 55th infantry,• and although-sudden ly attacked, they . were .nur: dismayed. Not only did they' receive the enemy in the best manner, but suddenly resuming the offensive, in a abort apace of time, seconded by some companies conducted by. Colonel Deleantreohey took a flag, one hundred prisorrers, seven of whom are officers, and killed and wounded a great 'number, forcing the enemy to fly, and pursuing them. The greater pal tof the prisoners belong to Wiropsen's Swiloyegiment. It was Sarsfield, with his division, who made the attack, It is am, said that he was accompanind'by Lacy.

A squadron of the egth chaSseurs, eornieanded by the Chief D'Eseadron .Schweitz• gut, charged a strong column of the,enemy,' which it overthrew. This officer was wounded, aud-Capt.

The enemy, penetrated at all points, succeeded' nevertheless, in again forming upoh a high mountain, behind the village of Sagoeto Brigade-General flamennaye, of Lamaque division, was charged to make a fresh attack upon the lefi, whilst La wtttmoe advanced to attack in front with Erpent's brigade, composed at the 42d Regiment and the 4th Battitlion of the filth of the line.
