(Signed as usual.) f. Gazet4e , of Saturday contained, as we stated it would, the official :recount of the attion at Usagte. 'The French had npon that oecihion a great supe riority of numbers; but their cavalry, es well a's , their infantry, seem to have an insuperable aversion to stand a charge from riritidt ttoops. When the 3d and 4th drogoons were ordered to charge the Enemy, they advanced in the ,Lnost gallant manner; but, says General Lotal.ev, " the 'Enemy wa vered bri'n'e our cavalry reachiAl them, bUt almost it thq,..• same instant they were overtutned and appa rently annihilated." •I't ,is most glltifying to find that the su i , criority of our troops is arktieyiledged eV4O. b y t he E n emy, for we fini that the very men who triumphed 'civet the boasted legions of Austria, Rus sia, and Prussia, ate not only constantly beaten by an inferior number of British troops, but ai9ually be. gin to uitiver at their approch, It give's us the ut jnoat satistaCtien to fi,1,1 thit the • Spattbrds„ upon this occasion, bdi,ived ii, tliti itiCist pliant manner.

Sir JAMks SAUMAREZ, with the merchants men under his cow ov, to the amount of some bun dred bail, has proceeded up the 'Baltic, from wileh it is Welted, dun an understanding subsists between this Country and Russia., We find by Alte accounts from Naples t hat MURAT is making preparations for the invasion of Sicily, and-he boasts that he shall succeed better that' he did in his attack last_ year, becluse the hatred of the inhabitants 'inwards, the English Is very much in creased. There is a proverb which says, that per sons, who hate a p4ensity to indulge in a certain figure of speech shouldhave good memories. When Mnata failed in his attempt upon Sicily last year, he publicly declared that he never meant to make a serious attack—that, he only intended a feint. — Now he admit* that he was quite in. earnest' in the attempt, and that he was defeated. •We have been .favoured with the following ac. count of a most gallant a6lion recently prfortned in Spain:— FIRST LEGION OF CASTILE. a MY CODIN4ANDEIt, " The Captains Don GAYETANO ESCMIDONJ Don VENTURA GARCIA, myself, seven soldiers, and one serjeant, in obedience to your orderi,• set out on the 9th for INla..utee, to join the company that was statimnd in the district of Itejar, Having reached the village of Vidola, we learned that the French occupied all the posts through which it was necessary that we should pass ; we therefore resolv ed to • stay th4re the night. " On the idth we set out fur the village Cabeza, in order, to get provisions there, and a;Vait the' ap proach of night, that we might be able to proceed to cur destination., At five in the afternoon a pea sant at the same village, and who cattle from San chon, informed us that there were there 85 men of the 'horse artillery,. who were inn' crippled state the number of those who were within three leagues amounted to four thousand men. With this intelli gence my two:companions, 1). CAVRTANO, D. VEN. TURE, arid repel'', deliberated on what was to be done ;.and We reiolveJ, during that night, lo sur prise the sentinels lind the viltrige of Sanchon, and beat up their quarters. "4t seven in the evening we mounted our horses., and marched to Itobledo, halfa leave short of San, chon, where the enemy was stationed. The Alcade Wormed us that the number of the French was the same as what had been told us before; but tlitst.to - Wards the evening a company of 66 Men, infantry,. had arrived, and that hi was going to bring to them the proviiiions which they had requirei ,from hint ; we therefore ordered our horses to be fed, and sent the Alcade to Sanchon to observe the position of:the enemy. " At two o'clock nn the , morning of the 1i th he returned, accompanied by the Ajcade of Sanehon (to give more credit to the commission he had been charged with) a we met them an the road, They told us that our:Undertaking was very hazardoUs to attack 120 French cavalry and infantry and upwards, in the village, while we ,were only i t men. We knew well that the utmost we could do would be to kill four or kix men, and beat up their quarters; but affecting to have moremen behind; and acting as if we expected them every moment, we sent the Akade with a message to the Curate o f th e p ar ish, that he should give as notice as soon as he perceived the least movement among the enemy ; and we re• turned in the mean while to the village of Ro- In less than an hour the Alcade came and in formed us that the enemy was preparing to march ; and, without any further inquiry, we all marched to Sanctm, from which the French had just set out, having formed themselves into two. divisions. We procured a guide, and, in order not to lose time, the Alcade accompanied us, together with that of Ro bled°, who was desirous of witnessing our operations. We took the same road as the enemy, whom we al 'ways kept sight of, until my two companions judged that it. was the fattest time to attack them. We halted, and Capt,rin Don CAYETANO and I formed two divi sions, of which the second was put under the com mand of Don VENTUNA GAIICTA. On this occasion we made more use of stratagem than of force ; at the moment of attacking the French, Don ,CAy TANG gave the word ut command aloud, " company, to the left file t" Don VP,NTURA's- battalion, g 4 Porrn' line of bottle to the lift," and I Compq. nies, to the right file," As soon as these words of coon rand were - gheti, the eleven men discharged three rounds, wbicit caused ihe enemy to abandon their baggage and take to flight, Such was the . , panit inspired into the enemy by these 'Words of command (he believing our pity to be a diviijoh of iho army), I li.it ill those who could escape front this iis likewise from the cantonments within a circumference - of *three leagges.round V;ictikudino, untied with all possible Celerity, and matched to Ledesma, six leagu , ..s distant._ The result of succcaula6lion has,been, that the enemy lost 24 killed on the spot,sorne wounded, and 12 prisoners, whom wejsveover'to the,Qovernor of hell), ,Poripi hi Portugal, taking his receipt.; besides do horses, and mules, 30 saddle, 70 new iitiorrns, 30 . pltirS : :Of pantaloons, 70 feathers, 53 pairs of gloves, 34 pairs of boots, 56 portmanteaus full of linen, 40 pounds weight„ or plate, 22 pairs of pistols, seven musluets, 19 sabres, 26sots.of draught harness, &c. 453 head of sheep, and many other objects of their 44sloarOus " We feel the greatest satisfa6tion at the conduit of the soldiers, who have behaved. as they always have done, in Ow different aEtiOns we have bad with the enemy ; there is 'not a single man wound• eat on our side.

The yellow fever, we are happy to learn, had not been so pre vateut on the station as it was last year. At Eng lish Harbour, Antigua, it was most experienced, where the Thetis` end Nyaden lost each about 'lOO • men ; but the Castor, which lay there at the same time, had .not a sick man on board. Captain Fre derick Cottrell; of the Nyaden, died at:Barbadoes • on the eeth of April—he had been long ill of a fe ver. Captain It. Fowler, of the Charybdis, was promoted, in consequence, to the rank of Post Cap tain, and appoutted to the Nyaden ; and, Lieutenant Clephane, of the Draion„ promoted to a Costume. der, and appointed to the Charybdis. The Tribune, Capt. Reynolds, had arrived with dispatches from England, and to join the squadron. The „Peartee frigate, Capt. N. Thompson, 'had sailed from. Gr enada, with General Maitland on board, f or Sicily. The Pear/en would return to England from the Me diterranean. The Seuthempton, Sir James Yeo, had arrived at Barbadoes with her convoy from England, and sailed again for Jamaica. The next fleet for England was expefted to sail in the. middle of june, under convoy of the Castor and ;Panderer. All the assertions that have been made of French ships of war .(squadrons end single ships) being Seen in those seas, ate untrue. Since the'fall,or Guadaloupe i only one enemy's vessel had: been heard of there, 'namely, a 'snap French privateer, which was chased for two days by the ilmaranthe.
