Ann. . 63j I omnium - paT We leel the'rAnst sincere pleasure.in announcing 'to out Readers a very-brilliant achievement of a a part bf our Army in Port , aipl, under the 'corn mand.ot General Emu. It appears, that General, by a 'skilful and rapid movement, 'surprised the French General GERARD, completely defeated his corps, killed aboVe 200 men, and took two General Officers, tbe Prince D'AftEMBERG, and above 1000 men prisoners ) with scarcely any loss on our side.— The French also lost all their artillery and baggage, General Gaat t nb himself was severely wounded, but be eiTe3ed his escape towards the mountains. The Spaniards were pursuing his corps . in all direc- lions, and the most sauguin6 expeetations were en tertained, that the greater part of it would fall into their hands. The Lisbon Papers, which contain an account of this %ielety, state that the 34th, 39th, and ged regiments, particularly distinguished them selves on this occasion. The official details from General Hut. have 'not arrived (as they were of inures 'sent to Lord WELLINGTON, who is in the North of Portugal), but early this morning the fol. lowing latter was received at the Admiralty from Admiral BUILICE4.IIII' to Mr. Cacomt, " T4ays, Nov. 2. " A Telegraphic Diopatch reacbed Lisbon en the eveniog of the Ist November, announcing a corn , Vice sorprise and defeat of General Gtitaun's corps by the divtsion under General Hug., at Auroya de Molinas,betweenAlbuquerclue and Caceres, which the enemy lost 200 killed, t wo.General Officers, and 'rinse d'AmistliaaG, Chef d'Etit Major, two Colo , Ws, and 40 Officers prisoners. General GERARp severely wounded, but escaped ; all the artillery end *gage taken ; the whole corps completely dis persed" end the Allies pursuing them in every di reetiou." • In addition, to the above we are enabled to state, that Major llmrr, of the 5 2d , brings the intßi gence in the Camperdown transport. The surprise took place on the night of the 2lth ult. General Buuwe is the other Officer taken prisoner. The Spanish Guerillas were pursuivg the dispersed ,French in every direetion. ' .

Swedish vessel Apparcincen, for Liverpool (that sai'ed 'from hence 0.04 a.fortnight since, and which was obliged to put into Falmouth) ; the Fantante and J'elurus brigs of war, and Piercer gun•brig (that sailed him hence on' Tuesday last), the. two former bound• on a cruise, and the latter to Ba , que Roads; a few other vessels that sailed.from hence also put in here this day, having been forced. back by stormy weather. Several of the ships of war have been blown off their stations during the late gales, which have occasioned a very heavy sea in the Channel.

PSiON, NW. 3.—Another_ victors has add,-d .fresh laurels to the Allied Armiei. GEttotti having advanced . to the neighbourhood of Albuquerque with about 7000 men, Gem HILL advanced to attack him. GERARD fled 'through Alerid towards Caceres ; Gen. HILL followed, and on the 28th, in the morning, succeeded in surpOs= ing him at , and near Arrava Molinas, where he took' upwards. of tOOO prisoners, and killed about 240 men; among the former are Gen.gItOWNE, PRINCE D'Aitamnano, Chief of the Staff, two Colonels, and 40 otherQtEcers, with the whole of their artillery 1 and baggage: Ge nera l GERARD, though badly wounded, escaped int o the mountains, bill must, be . . taken, being pursued by the Spanish General 1110, ItILLO. One colu-nn of the enemy mnrchrd two hours before day-break on the 24th, towards Aberi. tb, and have escaped for the present, but General HILL lost no time in pursuing them after the ac tion, and if he- overtakes them, they cannot pre tend to resist, being without artillery. LISBON, NOV. s.—Gen. HILL, with his division, having accomplished the object for which he was dispatched, is, we unders4nd,.on.his return to his • - former position. In this most brilliant affair, in which the 34 h, 29th, and 92d regiments were chiefly engaged, we had only g men killed, and 30 wounded. We kill ed upwards of 200 of the enemy, took 2 Generals, 2 Colonels, 40 other Officers; and 1600 . men, .with 2 cannon, t howitzer, and a very considerable quan tity of baggage. Gm. GERARD, though wounded, effeaed his re treat from -the Spaniards who went in pursuit of him. The prisoners may be expected here in ten days or a fortnight. •Head-quarters at Freginal ;, and our advance he. yond the frontiers in the whole lines from the Douero to the Agueda. OCT. 30.--Extract of an Official Dispatch from Marshal General Lord WELLINGTON, dated Head 'quarters, Frexeda; aiober 23; addressed to his Ex cellency Don M. P. FORAZ " The design of D. JULIO SANCIIES to take the cattle, great as well as small, which belongcJ to the fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo, of which I made men tion in my anterior dispatch, Was extremely well conduaed, and the consequences, which are very ad vantageou4 equal to the good dispositions. During the night of the 14th he posted his troops in two places, to which he was informed that the cattle be longing to the garrison were usually sent to feed-in the morning, and wa i te d t ill t h ey should come to the field, from the left side of the Agueda, bet Wee n. the heights, from the road of Elbon, and the fortress, posting two detachments of cavalry behind these heights. .„„ " The Governor-General. RP.INAItD, who went out from the fortress, and passed the Agueda, ac companied by some (Accra of the staff, and a party, of 20 horse, as soon as he entered between the said heights, was surrounded by Don JuLro's detach ments, and made' prisoner, with 1 . 2 of his escort, under the fire of the.i.lace. The remainder of the escort escaped, two officers, who accompanied the Governor, being wounded. • " Shortly after the deta'clunents, which Don Jo.' uo had on the right bank of the Agueda, seized up . oe the .greater part of the cattle, which had left the place to graze, within reach of the artillery from, that side of the river. "The enemy's troops who are in front of this army have made no movement of importance since I transmitted nur . e xcellency my last dispatches. A doachment of the Army of the North, which crossed the Tormes with an intention of plundering the country between that river and the Yeltes, has returned to its cantonments, without deriving great advantages from the expedition. " Intaigence of the 15th inst. which I have re ceived from Cadiz, informs me that MarshalSout...r With 20,000 men, has entered the kingdom of Va lencia by Tortosa, and advanced as far as Mur viedro. On the 29.1) ult, the enemy three times attacked the fiat of Sagunto, (near the above mentioned city) endeavouiing to take it by assault, but Were repulsed, with great loss on their part, and obliged to leave their scaling ladders behind... On the 4th inst. they still remained before Murviedro. " At the time this Was taking place, Gen.jlt.4.Kß entered-Valencia, where all the_strong platerheitig occupied by the enemy, he used the utmost endea vours to collect in that kingdom aiarge force, with a . vieW of incommoding his communication wi:h his rear. According to aclVices, the greatest confi dence was placed in General BLARE, and The inha bitants of Valencia appear determined to co- o p era t e in the resistance against the enemy. ‘, Since I trammitted your Excellency my ante - cedent dispatch, there has been no movement in the North. !‘ I have the honour, kc. rr VIELLIbiGTON.".
