A tetter, of whch thb inclosed is an extra& has been received froM Colonel Green; employed on a partici)! r service in Catalonia, dated Heasl-quar- . tern. Calat, 0,1..9, 1811. I am lisipy in having the honour to inform your 1:461n1.,, that there now appears to be a very in crea,,e4i degree of nativity and much success in the re- eutratpem ,q 1 this plincipality.. The Army is increaiog very fast ; nearly six . hundred deserters have presented themselves in five days. t - The battalions of reserve, which are composed Of married men, and Others which are exempted frOM service 'in the army, are become disciplined and nu. merotis ; and the small Patriotic parties are daily in tereeptio'g the little detachments - ot t the enemy, evincing remarkable instances of valour, and .pi ov log a severe check to the communications of the, energy, - which they themselves complain of in des% podding terms., 'On the 4th instant, General Lacy put himself at the head of two thousand infantry and five hundrad cavalry,- and in the night surprised the town of Iquelada, he leading the cavalry,:and upon being challenged by the centinel " Qui .vive," answered " France," and rushed upon the advanced post, which he destroyed, and galloped into the town, where he killed upwards ot- one hundred and fifty, made a few prisoners, and took some stores'and the equipage of the G. , tieral and the Officers, the former bring obliged to escape in his shirt to the Capuchin Cottvent, which had been pleviously fortified, and where the prinCipal part of the troops were quar tered,. hut Which requiring cannon to reduce,.

Sachet ha i left the Lower Ca talonia, the Partidas Patrinticai and Sornatenes have killed and wounded, "even by the French account, npwards of tifreep hundred men. The proportion the enemy has lost in Upper Ca talonia, since the fall of Figuera*,. has not been so considerable ; but what contributes very much in favour of the Principality at, this momeet, is, the aicknem which prevails.in the army of Macdonald, , who has upwards of three thousami men siclefrom Tertian fevers.

NUSDAY DEC:11;,11121t 4, 1611. A. Malta and a Gibraltar Mail arrived this morn,, inn the latter brills Fidine details respeCting 111, A Kea last battle. We hasten to lay them before otnTßead. ers, but We have not room at present to comment upon them ; we can only state, that though- that General failed in his attempt; he was not, as the Fiend) stated; completely defeated. It is believed that, notwithitanding the severe check which the Dines met with in 'their attempt upomthe Island of Anholt, they will this winter re new the attack. Every proper means has been adopted to giye them a proper reception; and it is stated, that the Crescent and Pyramus will winter of the Island htr its protect ion. Although the'Gazetle of last night does not con. lain the intelligence of any brilliant viettiry; it affords ample ground for.satisfaaion, and strengthens the hppes we have always entertained of . the ultimate successof oNtr Mlles. The reverses which the gal. .lant Catalonians have sustained, so far frOnt damp. ing their'exertions,, seem to _have inspired them with new energy. " Colonel GREViit who is etn. played in a particular mission in that part of states, that there 'appettrs to be " a very increased degi ee of activity and much success in the re-arma ment of the . priecipality." He also addi, that'"..the small pathetic parties are daily intercepting the little detachments of the Enemy, evincing -remarkable instances of Valoer, and proving a severe cheek to the 'communications of the .Enemy, which they themselves complain of in desponding terms." The losses of the'Enernyin killed and wedoded, in this 'petty, bui:destrUCtiVe warfare, is very great, and it appears that in one week the number of deserters 'from their army amounted to no less than 600. The Dispatch (torn Lord Wti.t.reo - roN mentions a,circumstance respeeting JOSETA BUONAPAtay. and MABMONT, which must excite universal indigna tion. JOSEPH, it appears, had, to supply his waif, seized , : a large .qeantity ,of. grain, and sold it, and MARMONT, who is Viceroy 'over the King, took tile grain from the unfortunate nurehaters, under the pretence that the King had no rightioseize it. Thus JosePtt has got the money, anct MAJIMONT has got the grain, while the original owners, and the subsequent purchasers, are completely robbed. The Report of the state of the . . King yesterday was that his MAJESIY was not better. The PRINCK REGIINT'S foot and ank►e are so far recovered, that it is undersiood that hi* Royal nets V.ll be in town ortFt:iday next.

Arri ed yesterday. morn ing the ship Ranger, belonging 'io LondOn, Capt. MOTTL'HY, from the Braiilt,With 'a coign; copsisting of cotton, 'hides; &c. boUnd 10 London ; was cap tured on the.:,2tst alt. by.the French Schooner pri vateer Le Junon, of 1 6 guns, and a complement, of 160 men, and reCaptoted on the same. day by his Majesiy's.. brig of war Recruit, Of i 6 guns, bound from Portsmouth to Halifax, the bind then I.),ea ing north-east by north, distant about sevarleagues:.: It is stated, that at the time •the privateer was first discovered by. the Ranger's. crew, a British armed cutter wat cruizihg within ,hail of the latter, with which she communicated, the schoonei .having a very suspicious appearance, - although then at some djstance,w hen Capt. MOTTLE? received an assurance from the cutter that she should remain near him, in order to assist in • repelling an attack; shonld'she prove to be an enemy's vessel. Shortly after the schooner b;re doWn, and'cornmenced a most furi, out attack op the Ranger, the crew of which (who had previously_determined on,rnskin a spirited le sisiance, being confident of an able support from the cutter, which was then cruizing within gun-shot) .returned the enemy's fire, and continued the aelion semi . minutes, with that true valour inherent in British. seamen, when, to the astonishment of the brave defenders of the Ranger, they discovered the cutter standing off, when it was deemed prudent, owing, to the ,superiority of their oppOnent, to gut - render, atter being boarded 67 the ..greater - part of her crew, the schooner,having towards the close of the conflid ranged alongside the Ranger. The cut ter was shortly after lost sight of: had she lent the' promised assistance, in all probability the enemy must have been captured, as the Raver was - armed with ten guns. On the Recruit's heaving in sight, the privateer left her prize, having previously taken out Captain . MOTTLEY . and pars of his crew, who were after wards lent adrift in an_ open boat, but were supplied with provisions anti a compass; A few hours after wards they were picked up by the Recruit, and Bent on board the Ranger, then in company, when she: bent, her course Inc this port. Captain AloTTLav mates, - that tnp greater part of the Junon's crew, spoke , •English, and that he received pretty good 'treknetit from thorn, and was liberated, with that :part ot., his crew on board, on condition that he 'should,.on his arrival in this country,'obtain a re lease for the 111.c'e number of French prisoners, and came them to be conveyed toTrance. - The Anon Sailed, from St. Maloes the day before she capturcd the Ranger, which `wati'her first prize crn that crnize. During the former she was very 'successful, having captuied. nine British merchant men, one of which, with her cargo, sold. for too,opof. 'The Captain, of the privateer states he was not atoll afraid of being taken by any British cruiser, from ttic schoones superior sailing.--The Ranger sailed from Marantia'm on the Bth August, and was a running ship : she pot into Teuby and Falmouth. The ship BrilliantStar, belonging to this port, Na.Tr, Master, 11131 Sailed from hence on Sunday laSt, withlt cargo tor Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malta, struck on a rock, near Ushant, on the following morning, about three o'clock, during a very thick fog, and shortly afterwards became a complete wreck. Six. of the crew (foreigners) took posses sion of the small boat; and' were seen to enter Brest harbour ; the remainder of the crew, with Captain KRAFT, took to the launch, in Which they drilled about three days, when they were fallen in with by the Rhin frigate, and _sent on board .a schooner, in which they arrived here.
