We Rre liappy to inform the public that the
loss sustained by the army of La Mancha is much
less than it was said at first. The Spanish artil
lery made a terrible fire, which caused great
slaughter among Uie enemy. The loss in prison
ers is mure inconsiderable than what it would
have been in any other nation possessing less pat
triotism, for they almost all return to rejoin their
banners. This last check retards but does not
alter the ultimate result of our triumphs. Did
not the Spaniards lose the battle of Medellin, and
by it the whole of Estrcmadura, and shortly after
made themselves masters again of the same pro
vince without any pitcbeil battle ? Did they not
again become musters of La Mancha after having
lost it by the belles of Ciudad- Real and Alnjanx
cid ? They lost the battle of Deles but have
they ceased thereby to be masters of all the terri
tories from Cuenca through Deleft to the Tagus ?
—These reffuctions naturally lead us to others of
great importance ; but reserving them until we
see the official details of the last battle, we wilt
for tke present draw only this conclusion ; that
the perseverance and firmness of governments
and nations will be more powerful in the end,
than the momentary effect produced by the bat
tles of one day.—Pyrrhus always beat the Ro
mans in battle, St still was at last obliged to quit
Italy, because he could no longer fight with them.
There are situatiens (and our Peninsula may be
said to be at present io one of these,) in which
victory and the loss of a battle will almost equal
ly contribute to the salvation of the country, be
cause if the conquered loses a great deal, the con*
bucror loses not a liitle.
Seville, December 11.
An officer of cur army who was taken prison,
frr in the battle of Ocaiu and succeeded in mak
ing his escape, ha* come to head (quarters in La
Carolina, and liu'orms that the 1-ranch besides
ticaling their prisoners very bad, had taken a
wsy from them all the good part of their apparel
in order to make them appear wretched on enter
ing Madrid, and make the loyal inhabitants of
that city believe that cur army was in want of e
very tiling. He also says lh*t while lie was at O
cana, where he staid for some time in disguise, he
saw the French employ all the laborers to collect
their dead, of which he saw three very large
pilee, and heard an officer of the artillery observe
that their loss on that Uay had been very conside
rable.
Finn proposed for the assembling of the Spanith
Cor tee, or Parliament of the Nation, taken from
the Seville Gazette of the Government of thi 12/A
Dec. 1809.
1st That there be no distinction of cl.-sses in
the election or constituting of the Cortes, but that
ail classes shall be represented alike by the same
assembly.
2fk The people shall appoint their Represent!
lives by Electors.
Sd. Ail citizens who pay taxes shall be enti
tled to vote for Electors.
4th. Every township containing 590 families
shall vote for one Elector, and when the number
bffamilies of a township shall exceed 750, it
shall appoint two Electors.
5th Townships containing less than 509 fami
lies shall join others, so as to make together the
number lequired to vole for one or mure Elec
tors.
GUr. The Provincial Juntas shall decide the
ruim'oerof Electors which belong to every town
ship. as also the townships that are to be associ
cialed to make up the number required : in like
runner they are to determine the number of
prssentctives which their own provinces respec
tively are to have, according to the population of
each, as ascertained lvv the last census taken.
7th. The electors of every province shall meet
in the place assigned by the junta of the province,
and when they meet, the oldest man shall act as
president, and the youngest man as secretary
Th-y then shall eief t representatives in tits ratio
of one for every 899 families in vhe province.
8th. Any one may be appointed an elector whe
ther lie be entitled to vote in the Electoral As
semblies or not. And any one may be appointed a
representative, whether he be an elector or not.
Slli The election both for electors in the first
instance, and for representatives afterwards by
the electors, is to he viva vooe, each man nomi
nal insr the persons that lie votes for.
llfth. When the representatives first meet, the
oldest man will lake the chair, arid the youngest
man will act as secretary, and then they shall first
of all appoint a president and a secretary out of
their own body.
Thus there will be a true National represiaita
tion, and the assembly will consist of about 250
members, which is considered a sufficient num
ber for the present population of Spain.
The first object to occupy this assembly is to
raise menus to carry on the Holy war in which
th* nation is eng .ged. If the culinary resources
of the Peninsula and her colonies arc found inad
equate ; extraordinaiy resources must be bad.
and this Assembly is to devise the means and
bring all the resources of the nation to bear.
The second object,% .o form a constitution up
on a solid basis
Tb«* third, to form new codes of laws civil and
crim'.n*!, and to new model cud regulate judici
xd t-:*f needing*.
Tin fourth, to adopt a new system of finance, so
tii*' t «xes shall bear equal on all, the collection
be less expensive, .md the expenditure more c
conomica 1
The fifth, to ameliorate public education, and
to ?dapi it to the new order of things.
The sixth and seventh objects w 11 be to rrrse
and support an army and navy, both in time of
peace and war, proportionate to tire forces of our
enemy.
The last object will be to determine what pro
poi fun ilic American colonies are to bear in the
‘national representation. And also to deposi
tin' E>*< utive power, until the return of our be
loved j-Linfr, in the Gwesf and safest hands pos
fllblo, so a* to insure secrecy and promptitude in
tfi* executi.m of plana without running the risk
of die iH'irp&tion of the Sovereign power, & the
loss of liberty.
MannESA, Nov. 14.
We have been informed by persons whe
came from the parts of Martorell, that a
bout 1000 Frenchmen whocame from Barce
lona, went to Moliries del Hey, with 20C
horse and 4 pieces of cannon, to rob thr vil
lages, which our few valiant r.oldiers and
mountaineers repulsed vigorously—leaving
dead in it ditch near Villsi iana, up wants ol
60 and many more wounded.
The fire lasted 4 day#. 1 cannot pass o
verin silence the valor and intrepidity of a
Spanish cavalry soldier, of Santiago, who a
lone attacked four and a corporal of the en
emy's cavalry, of whom, wish his sword, he
killed three—but we arc sorry to add, that
this intrepid champion was killed.

The nooMivRTiBLi Spaniard.
A person, who at Naples called himself Lio
netto, has made a comnderable noise through Eu
rope under the ap{>ellalioti of the Incombustible
Spaniard, from his power of resitting the efleet*
of fire At St. Petersburg, however, his art fail
ed him and he was burnt so badly that hislife was
despaired of.
In the Abeiile du Nord of November 17, re
ceived at this office, we find the following account
of him, which we have caused to be translated for
the “ American ’*
Two or thiee years ago a foreigner who called
himself a Spaniard, made hi* appearance in
1 ranee, and declared himself possessed of appa
rently very extraordinary properties Fire was
so fariniliar to him that lie touched and han
dled it in different shapes with no inconvenience.
His exhibitions astonished not only the multitude
but the most enlightened.
The physicians well persuaded that the skin
of this Spaniard was no more proof against the
effects of fire than thft of other men, only saw
in those marvellous pretensions the triclta of a
mountebank.: they attribute*! it to the u*e of
some very natural means but adroitly concealed
f rom tlie view of the spectators, and endeavored
to unravel and explain them.
The Spaniard left France for England and pas
sed over from thence to Italy. His tricks caus
ed there the same general astonishment; but
they excited, moreover, the curiosity of some lb
reign physicians who were more investigators
of causes and more persevering in their research
es than they were in France.
JMUH.3DUI UI VfiyiUtSir)' 111 me
university «f Naples, hus published a memoir on
tliis subject in Italian, which lias been communi
cattd to the Koval Society of London, and trans
lated into English. The following is the sub.
stance thereof; .
The Incombustible Spaniard wbo assumed the
name of seignor Lionetto, ou his arrival at Na
ples, announced himself an a man who played
with red hot Iron, drank boiling oil, and washed
his hands in melted lead, without receiving any
injury. M. Somentini followed him and observed
very attentively all the feats which he announced
and gives the following detail :
Liunetto began, says the observer, by putting
on his head a slender quoit of red hot iron, which
at least in appearance, made no impression on his
hair. The red hot iron had scarcely come in con
tact with the head of hair thaii a dull thick va
pour was seen to rise in a considerable, volume.
He then passed a plate of red hot iron over his
arms and legs ; he afterwards struck several
times his heel and toes alternately with ano
ther red hot iron. In this trial the contact of the
red hot iron was continued a longer tiifte than
in any of the preceding ones. At the instant of the
action of the iron a vapour was seen to rise from
his toes so thick, that my eyes and smell were ve
ry disagreeably affected. He then put between
Ins teeth an iron heated sufficiently to burn, al
though it was not red hot.
It was announced that hr had drank a half
glass of boiling oil,but at .this time, I found that he
had not swallowed a like quantity ; he had taken
in ins mouth a small quantity, about a quarter of
a spoonful nt a time. It wis also said that lie
had washed his hands and face in melted lead,
hut he forbore before ma-4.o plunge tlic ends of
bis fingers rapidly in the liquid lead, and put a
small quantity of it on his tongue. He next pas
sed over this organ a piece of rad hot iron with
out discovering the least sensations of pain. His
longue, which I saw very well in this last feat
which was repealed several times, \v::s covered
with a greyish substance like that of the tongue of
a person in the fever and ague.
The feat with which Lionetto generally closed
a performance was in passing through the skin
of his arni a thick golden pin, which he did with
out evincing the least pain. I observed in this
proof of bis insensibility, that the pin pierced the
skin with difficulty, and that to succeed, lie
was obliged to push it aa if he was piercing tan
ned leather.
From these experiments so often repeated in
my presence I imagined that this man’s skin Itad
become so insensible by ce. tain rubbing necessa
ry to produce this efr’cct in destroying, by the
same excess of stimulating actiun the nervous
pores of the skin, as the immediate action of tha
heat produced no porhpt sensation. Indepen
dently of this supposition, I thought that iht
force ofhabit might have added to this disposi
tion.
But how to explain feats yet much more sur
prising ? A red hot iron passed so often upon
the tongue ! the swallowing of boiling oil ! Lio
netto could not have prepared the interior of the
windpipe or of the stomach. He could not, by
any mixture or linament, put the enamel of the
teeth in a state to resist the action of iron which
lie was seen to gnaw almost red hot.
Instead of losing my time in conjecture, I re
solved to try upon invself whatever 1 conceived
capable of blunting the nervous fueling ami clo
thing the skin with a substance which is not a
conductor of heat. I could think of little matter
capable of producing this effect.
In the mean time 1 perceived, that by the re
sult of Iriction repeated with acids, 1 obtained an
insensibility of the skin. I acquired my object
with sulphuric acid spread so as to enable me to
suppoit at last the contact of a plate of red hot
iron on the part in which I had blunted the insen
sibility in the manner above described I tried
likewise sulphuric acid of alum and pot ash. 1
boiled a solution impregnated with acid, until it
became spungy, a procedure which much aug
ments its styptic properties. 1 rubbed my arms
with it, the portion being several times renewed.
I found th-t this was by far the most efficacious
of all.
I wished to try if, in washing the parts ren
dered incombustible, I could make it lose its
qualities. Consequently I rubbed it with hard
soap, washed it and wiped it dry with linen, after
which I applied the same plate of red hot iron.
I discovered thus, to my great astonishment, that
the insensibility of this part was rather increased
than diminished. 1 rubbed anew the same part
with soap, and without drying it applied tins red
hot iron. 1 did not feel any painful sensations,
and the hairs on my arm3 ware not in the least
crisped. In recollecting the pluistering which 1
had icinarked on Lionetlo’s tongue, 1 rubbed my
own with soap, and by this procedure it likewise
became insensible, to the action of heated iron. 1
at first heated it slightly, and by degrees used it
\ until I made us- of it when perfectly red hot. 1
| afterwards made a paste ot soap triturated with
j a Solution of suturated and boiled alum, with
which I plaixtered my tongue, and the experiment
! completely succeeded.
I From these experiments I proceeded to that of
the boiling od After having prepared my longue
as already described, I proceeded with letting
tall thereon a drop of very warm oil, ami after
wards augmc nted by degrees the quantity and
temperature of tint liquid. The experiment an
i swered my expectation ; the boiling oil produc
j on my tongue a hissing resembling that pro*
j d vice ft by red hot iron coming in contact with a
i moist body. After this hissing the oil was very
little more than luko warm, and could he easily
swallowed.
Supported by these farts, I think I have a right
to explain the experiments of Lionello in ilic
following manner :
His ha.i to which lie applied the red lint iron,
had been probably d pped in a solution of alum
or sulphuric aeid, and was yet wet with it at the
moment of contact.
1 explain in the same manner, and yet more ea
sily the insensibility of the sole of the loot, nlthV
the contact continued much longer, for we all
know that this part of the human body is natu
rally mote callous than any other.
1 next must explain the manner in which I/io
netto pci formed liie experiment of the boiling
oil. lie took front tbt live some burning oil, and
[ to heighten the temperature in public opinion, lie
.cast in it a certain quantity of lead which was
(left therein no longer than it could he melted. 1
convinced myself of this hy the Uiermotastcr. He
then took about a quarter of m spoon full of this
oil, and let it fall dexterously on the tongue only,
perhaps prepared in a manner to coot rapidly this
liquid, which was afterwards swallowed when
merely lukewarm.
The cxpei uncut of the melted lead, which lie
took with the ends of his fingers and put not in
his mouth, but on his tongue only; is explained in
the same manner. It is the same as the red hot
iron upon the toitgue —Haiti more A met ican.
