"ille 2d and 3d army resolVed to attack the 'French at Castella,„for which purpose the division of Alicant, commanded by ROCHE, also marched out. On the 2lst the - van-guard consisting ofthe - vegimeuts of La CorOna and Cadiz, began the attack,.and dislodged the French three times, and even took their artillery; • The centre followed, the WallOons commencing • the attack, together with the regiments of AlcaZar • de San Juan, Badajoz, Cuenca, and, I believe, Bay hen but, it appears, that 4000 horse, who were at two leagues distance, did not come up at the time appointed, and the collected. enemy having charged, drove our infantry from Cas(ella,, and when the cavalry came - up to aid them, and found they were defeated, they turned back. The French cavalry attacked the centre, and in a few minutes surrounded the Walloons, of whom but env escaped ; for thojigh- the Commander ga‘ie orders to- form the scitiare, they could not effect it. The Conde de MoNTEJo, with his regiment of Cuenca, formed the square in excellent order, and the enemy could not force it, till *hen it was evident that the action was lost, and the, men were retreating and dispersing ; they endeavoured to retreat, defending themselves, and forming the square three times in very commendable order. Gen. Toms occasioned much loss to the enemy and retired, fighting nearly to Alicant. The re giments of La Corona, adiz, Alcazar de San Juan, and s ßadajoz, lost many men. Many of the Walloons escaped ; there are here about 200 of them. They lost two pieces of cannon; and the French remained in their positions.

CADIZ, AUG. 13.—1 t appears that CONDE and MoRELLA are in the Condada de Niebla, where they will form a corps of 10 to 12,000 men. AUG. 20.—1 t is said that SoULT, leaving a gar rison in the lines before this place, has collected the remainder of his forces from Andalusia, one of which he has marched in the direction of Tala- Vera, aid the other of La Mancha. According to le tens from Madrid, of the Ist August, General MENDIZABEL entered , Bilboa on the 23d July, and, under date at - the'Gth, that More than 3000 Juratnentados had deserted Jo- Avc-13.—The Castle'ofNiebla has beenblown bp by the ...

General Cauz, with all his forces,. put himielfin : motion on the 13th in the same. direction, after having detached a battalion of. cacadores and the • - cavalry tuukr Brigadier bow - Ah; to, pursue the enemy. This determination of the . French to abandon - the whole Condado, gives weight to the'report of CouL,T's intending to entirely quit Seville. Very recent letters from that city speak - Of the eagerness with which they carry off the effects • from the Cart*, in the direction of Cordoba, Where they have sent off great quantities'of bag-. cage of every description.

We fell upon the enemy with' such impetuosity, says one ot , these letters, that they had not time to reconnoitre, and en tered the town in full gallop, whilst they were even in it. They Pied with' such rapidity, that they left all their artillery upon the ramparts. We have taken many equipages and considerable' . _ magazines. Our troops are full of ardour, the country in which they have entered is oue of Ole most fertile in Russia ; it is covered with Illages, and cffers the greatest resources to the army. _ _ _ To-day the Senate had an extraordinary meet ing, under the Presidency of tile, Prince Arai Chance:ll6r.

' The Russians vanquished, before depart ing, set fire in several places to the town, which burned for 36 hours. It would have been en tirely consumed, but for the devotion and courage of the French troops in stopping the progress of the fiames On the 19th there was • a still more fortunate affair,' in which 40,000 meri en- gaged on each side.
