[FURTHER EXTRACTS.] VALEN'Tx.k, MAY 10.—An account of the Mili tary events have, taken place since the Ist o f April has been published here officially. The following is a faithful "summary On the 7th .of April, the General of Division E VEROLI left Treinpe to incline upon the Pobla, th the GOth regiment,the Ist of the line; and-the 7 th regiment of the ltaliark line, intending to attack the Baron D'EaoLEs, Who had entrenched Alter having. broken down the bridge of the 1 1\r °guera, General SEvE - aoii forced the almost i'l nPregnable . position, drove him from the town W ith considerable loss, • and: pursued him several ten , ' , r ,nes among the mountains.. On the 21st of the gam^ month, the corps of - the enemy - under General•SmisnELD, consisting c 'f 3000 infantry and 300 -bpi-se, proceeded from I ` ) rre cle Embarra to Constanti, and formed a " i nimmication with - 2000 men of the bands of G AY and MORALLES, had been 'at Roes from th e 1 . ) General LACY arrived to direct in per eon the projected attack upon-: Tarragona.; and the English, who had proposed to land the artil y at Torre de Embarra, not having been, able to err the landing at that point, inclined upon - Vitlanova de Setges to execute it. The fortress of Tarragona had been lately pro lis: '°ned and the garrison reviewed. • The brave tor, eral ,• nrantoLETTE, its Governor, soon coil- , v iticed the en.._ of the 'temerity 'of his enter larize. In the night, bet Ween the 21st and 22d, t~ls General detached. from the place 150 men, 14 "1er the cornmaud of the Chief of Battalion eLI, of the Ist regiment of Italian light infan tl.s7, and the company of Spanish dens d'armes, of SitimerE. This.troop surprised the first posts of tilt enemy, killed 10 men, and returned into the place without loss. The Spaniards, wishing tO enge this defeat, attempted, in'the morning b c ' f the 22d, to make themselves masters of the head of Francoli, before which they pre red themselves with a column of three bun j'=d infantry, supported by fifty. cuirassiers.— dz -el , 'tenant who commanded• this post, „' e udcd himself with the. greatest bravery, and time , to the Chief of Battalion, .11.1uLLER - , 7 come to his aid with a detachment, which as- Zed him to repulse the enemy. The 'latter re ed in disorder upoix Canouge, whither he was ' 4.41... -tied with vigour: Thd Governor, wt.° had come out with•some companies of chosen troops; profited by thit; moveinent to place the VoltigeurS upon Monte - Olivo, With crders to - reniaiii non ccaled in case the army shOuld be bold enough to attempt tb Cut off the retreat of our troop! , ;. In fact, another column of the enemy, of 700 men . and 150.euirassiers, advanced almost at the -sante instant towards the bridge, by the road of Con . stanti. The . VOltigeurs posted on Monte OH vo resisted with vigour all the attacks of the infantry. - Our troops retired upon the place with the greatest. order, endeavouring to draw the enemy under the cannon of the-works, the well-directed fire of which occasioned him con siderable loss, obliging him to retire in disorder, leaving more than 30 killed on the spot, and car— tying- away more than 100 wounded. On our. part We had only four men killed, among whom was•the brave Lieut. COLLA, and. 22 wounded. General RERTHOLETTE, whose; activity and good disposition ; merit the highest eulogium, was struck by a spent ball, and had his horse killed under him All the Officers and soldiers display ed their.accustomed valour. • Gen. in Chief DEC Ai ti, informed of what pass ed under the walls of Tarragona, Marched on the 27th upon Villafranca, with a part of his army. His arrival on this point was sufficient to, induce LACY to take to flight, who, in disorder retired into the mountains: • , On the 25th General HARISiE marched with the Ist brigade of cavalry and companies , &elite of the 2d division, to the foot of the walls of Ali.- cant, by.passing -through Xexona, whilst, by his order, General Outnix- marched in the same di rection, by Mucha Mul, with ten companies of the 16th and 17th regiments. This latter arrived at ten in the morning, after having resisted, for four hours, the efforts of all the garrison, . who, in number , 1;00 men, endeavoured to exterminate them, whilst the 'guerillas and s °me armed peasants manoeuvred to cut off his retceat. He had fourteen men wounded, and four killed, and had done much_ injury. to the enemy, when General DtTORT appeared , with his• cavalry, threatening to seize the only road by which the garrison could retire into the fortress ; this forced the enemy to precipitately retire within their walls., from whence they have not thought fit again to come out, although our troop's have- xlestroved all the advanced posts, and tranquilly forage within cannon-shot of the place. • The . following day all the columns entered their cantonments. General UARISPE has pursued - se veral bands, which were armed, from the side of Aoveleda. His columns have destroyed a hun dred brigands. During the march of the troops upon Alicant, some fanatics excited the inllitants of Bene gamen and its neighboUrhood, to take up arms, and endeavour, to the number of 800 men; to surprise, during the night of the 27th, the post of Adzaneta, composed of a company of the 44th regiment, and a detachment dragoons, and some Hussars. Day began to break, and- the troops having had time to form, attacked the enemy with the bayonet, and caused a terrible carnage ; - one Jinn -7 died and ten men remained dead. upon the field of battle; and among them, the person called CORTES,: the. Chief of the insurrection, and a number of monks ; we had but one man killed, and four wounded. Whilst the army of Arragonlhus maintained its reputation at the gates of Tarragona and Alicant, it!gaye at the same time - a tuemorable lesson, on the left baulks of the Ebro, to the chief of a band, 311 - NA;.famous for his robberie3 and cruelties, and still quite proud at having, on the 19th of, April, taken a baggage convoy feorn the 60th regiment, -between Pena and Busarolas. -General PAUN NETRERhaving learned at fluesca, that MINA was to pass the night at Robus, with - all his cavalry and booty., .set - out with the 10th light infantry regiment, and a squadron of bus= sars, commanded by the Chief of Battalion„Du= BALIN, and the Chief of Squadron, LENoIR. This. General took his measures so well, that he arrived before day-break at the village, which lie sur rounded, without the enemy's • perceiving Lieutenant . Son.abEs galloped through the town, sabring all fie met with in the streets, and spreading terror and dismay through the brigands. MINA and MALCAIIADO sus Tsized, saved themselves in their shirts, over the roofs of house's,; those al so who were in detached houses, succeeded . escaping., aided by the darkness, but the greater part of "the troop inclosed in the town, was taken or killed. Some saved themselves naked; and wounded by our bayonets. More than 80 - fell in our poWer, and 60, at least, remained dead in the town. • Tile result of this brilliant operation; has been the capfure of 150 very excellent horses 5 . 300 Cavalry saddles, 350 . rirtnianteaus, 350 cloaks, 200 combines, 250 sabres, 150 lances, 6. great number of English pistols ; harnesS of every kind; boots, shoes,‘ Bco. The treasure of MINA, his correspondence,, his rich equipage, his nephew,' two • confidential officers:, and 'his almoner, ,who 'was at . the same time his secretary, his 'iu6 4 .rnate counsellor and his con fessor; fell at the same tilde into our bands ; but the most vAluaille part of this victory was the de livexance of prigoners of the 60th regiment, of a great number' of soldiers appertaining to different corps, a courier,- and officers of health of the di vision: General PAUNE-TREIt bestows the highest coin mendatiOns• on the conduct of the troops, and particularly that of the officers . ; he .nien tions, among others, the two commanders LENOIR and DUBALIN, the Aide-du-camp of BERTITELOTTE, the.Lients. SOURDIS, THIE,BALIT, and MAHLo, and the Marchal de LOGE GVILLE•• MAIN. • ANIIOLT MAIL. rItkeI;IVED LAST • dOTTENBURGIi, .

The War has mit yet cohiniend, although the armies, as it may be truly's'aid,h:Oc to combat with fathine. 'Forage is still more scarce than provisions, and hay is not be had.

In many houseS large holes were dm in the'ground for the children's protection , against bad weather, and to pass the nights." A traveller; who left Frankfort on the' Oder twelve day ago, states; that the public 'Toads 'were every where covered with dead - hors-in, and that a great number • (if-the inhabitants had' left, their homes, to • avoid the illAreatmeht they rz ceived from the foreign troops, the latter having' , previbusly robbed. them of all the , little provision they had yet left. • FURTHER EXTRACTS.

The height of Grassmere is supposed . to 'be about eight.or nine hundra, yard. Whilst thescold upon this towering hill was so intense as to convert-the failing vapour into snow, the rain at its base descended in torrents. Patches of snow ; that have fallen in winter, have frequently been seen upon some of the highest mountains about Midsummer, but a heavy snow shower, it is pre 'slimed, has rarely been known to fall'uponthem, rwlyn the sun was - within a few days of the Sum user Solstice. • roncEn Norms.—Seven . persons have been taken into custody within the last week 7, for pas t = ito• forged notes to a very 'considerable amount.
