The lath Bulletin is dated, Madrid, Dec. 7.—
It contains particulars of the conduct of several
Officers who distinguished tlientrelees ; with pro-
iiotions...-It states that General Labienski had.
on the 4.11, reconnoitred the remains of the army
of Castano4, near Gnadalaxara, under the com-
mand of General Pena. Costume was said to have
been deposed by the General imam. Then follows
• Jong tirade against the Duke Del Infantado,
which ends with stating, that " he will lose his ti-
tles, his property. valued at 11,000,000 of here,
alearouithe will go to London, to seek the con-
tempt and ingratitude with which England has al.
waysrewarded the men who sacrifice their honour
and •their country to the injustice of their cause."
The Bulletin continues, " As soon as the report of
the Chief of Squadron, Connt lLulvieaski, was
known, the Duke of Istria put himself in march,
with 16; 'squadrons of cavalry, to observe the ene-
my. The Duke of BMus* followed with the in-
fantry. The Duke of Istria arrived at Guadalaaara,
and found there the rear-guard of the coves,
which was filing towards Andalusia, dispersed it,
and made 540 prisoners. The General of Division
Ruffin, and the brigade of dragoons of Bordessult.
informed that the enemy were mowing towards
Araajliez, proceeded to that place. The enemy
were put to flight, and these troops were Udine-
diately put in pursuit of all those that are 1444
•
toward, Andalusia.

" The General of Diviiiion,Lahonssaye. entered
the Escurial on the 3d. Five or six hundred 'wa-
ssail wished to defend the Convent, bat were
driven nut by a brisk attack."

Then follow further particulars of the tranquil
state of Madrid, and the orderly manner in which
61,
...a possession of that city aas taken, dte. A
French soldier, found guilty of plundering* num-
ber of watches, was shot imthe principal square.—
The disarming was carried on without difficulty,
The King of Spain" (Joseph) had formed tao
regiments of foreign troop* from the lute Spanish
army ; one. the Royal Foreigners, and the other,
.that of Reding the younger, a Swiss General, of a
very dill...rent character from that of the Spanish
General of the some name. The Sth and sth
mills of the Preach armies were but passing the
Th.h.s.nai very far from the line of the French army,
and all the ,stories recounted were alreaAy ob-
tained. and the business was alurost completely
settled.

peer took ail possible care to prevent V.e trop is
'trine On from house to house. The city wa°
ruined if many troops had been employed. Only
some companies of sharp-shooters advanced, and
the Emperor constantly refosed to rend any to
sustain them. At eleven o'clock the Prince u
Neufchatel wrote the annexed letter, No. 3. Ili
Majesty, at the same time, ordered the fire to cease
on all points.
At live o'clock General Morle, ane of the Mem-
bers of the Militaaiy hum, and Don Bersiardo
Yriarte, sent from the town, repaired to the teat of
the Major-General. They informed him that the
most intelligent persons were of opinion that th
town was destitute of resources, and that the con
tim.ation of the defence would be the height of
madness, but that the lower orders of the inhabit-
ants, and the foreigners at Madrid, were deter-
mined to persevere in the defence. Believing that
they tonld not do it with effect, they molested a
;muse of a few hours, to inform the people of the
real state of affairs. The Major-General presented
the Deputies to the Emperor imp King, who ad-
dressed them thus :—'You make use of the name
of the people to ne purpose ; if you rainnot re-
store tranquillity and appease their minds, it is be-
cense you have excited them to revolt, you have
seduced them by propagating falsehoods. Assemble
the Clergy, the heads of the Convents, the Al-
eadra, the men of property and influence, and let
;lie town capitulate by six o'clock in the morning,
or it shall be destroyed. 'I will not, nor ought Ito
.withdraw my troops. You have-Massacred the uo-
fortuaaie Freoeb prisoners who had fallee ioto
tour bands; otityl.few days ago, you suffered two
persons in the mite of the Russian Ambassador to
be drugged aloe; and murdered in the public
streets, because they were Frenchmen born. The
incapacity and baseness of a General had put into
your power troops who surrendered on the field of
battle, and the capitulation has been violated.—
You, Mr. Mode, what vet of an epistle did you
write to that General? It well became you,
Sir, to talk of pillage, you who, on entering
Roussillon, carried off all the women, and dis-
tributed them as booty among your soldiers
!'—
What right bad you to hold such language else-
where ?—The expectation ought to have induced
you to pursue a different line of conduct. See
what has been the conduct of the English, who are
far from piquing themselves on being rigid ob-
servers of the Law of Nations. They have cone-
plaieed of the Convention of Portugal, but they
have carried it into effect. To violate military, ,
treaties is to renounce #vivilllation : it is placing
ourselves on a footing with the bendiftiof time de-
sert. Hriw date you, then, presume to solicit a
capitulation, you who violated that of Baylert ?
See how injustice and bad faith always recoil upon
the guilty, mid operate to their prejudice. I had a
fleet at Cabs; it was under the protection of
Spain, yet you directed against it the mortars of
the town where you commanded. I lied a Spanish
army iu my ranks : I would rather have viewed
them embark on board the English ships, mid tie
obliged to precipitate it from the rocks of Epinosa,
than to disarm it ; I would rather prefer having
7000 snore enemies to fight, than be deficient in
honour and good faith. Return to Madrid—l give
you till six o'clock to-morrow morning—return at
that boar—you have only to inform me of the sub-
mission of the people—if not, you and pier troops
shall all be put to the sword r This speech of the
Emperor, repeated in the midst of the respectable
people, the certainty that he commanded in Ts
son, the losses sustained during the foregoing
day, carried terror and repentance • into all
minds. During the night the most mutinous
withhrew themsilves from the danger by flight,
and a part of the troo:is was distanced. At ten
o'clock General Belliard took the command of Ma-
drid ; all the posts were put into the hands of the
French, and a general pardon was proclaimed.
;The Bulletin closes with a panegyric on the order
observed by the French, in taking possession of the
town, the security enjoyed by the inhabitants, amid
with a tirade localism the English.]

The. 16th Bulletin, dated 'Madrid, Dee. s, be-
gins, like the preceding, with the praises mid re-
wards of distiaguisbcd Offisers. The General of
Division, Ruffin. having passed the Tagus at Aran-
joie:. advanced towards (kens, and cut ott the re-
treat of the remains of the Army of Andalusia,
which wished to 'retire to their own province, and
throw themselves towards Cuenca.

The divisions of cavalry of Generals Lasalle and
Milhaud were directed to march uot runup! by
Zalavera de la Iteyna.

His Majesty viiNhett to strive Sariti.torlin till
dri4 had iwrreuitered ; but if that town would be
obstinate enough to make resistance, miner mutt
bentlw should bring it to reason.

The English fly on every side. The die;.:ion of
Lasalle has, however, fallen in with 16 men of
them, who have been put to the sword: They
were stragglers. or such who had gone astray.
Teen follow mane particulars of the siege of

14th. 15th. and 16th Bullinius of the French Army

wastheir iielignathei, that the French. Ai.rl-de-Ca
.who was the bearer of th summons,' narrowly
escaped with his life. All this happened on the itd,
at which time the French infantry were three
leagues from Madrid, and Boneraarr. devoted
thin remainder of the treeing to reconnoitring the
place, and preparing a pi to of attack. At 7 o'clock,
a corps of infint7, part of the division of the
Duke of Barre NO, I.Marebal Victor), arrived, unit
the French proceeded to take passeacien of the
suburbs. The .Spaniards fled at the first fire, 43
the Duke of Bituanto.spent the isikist in placing
his artillery. preperetory to an immediate attack.—
Atviridnight the Prince of Neurcitatat. (General
Berthier) rent it second siminsons to the citizeue,
the bearer of which returned at nine o'clock, on the
morning of the 3d. with an answer from the Mar-
quis CASTULAAS, requesting a suspension of arms
for that day, to consult the constitated audio-
ram' and ascertain the disposition of the ci-
tizen.; and promising a categorical answer sa, ly
on the next morning. The French, however, had
not relaxed in their preparations from the beeilie
thing, and in the mean '
time an attack was made,
and a breach effected, in the Palace of the Retire,
by • battery of 30 pieces of caonon, which they
had, brought to Year against it. The Retiro being
a commanding situation, it was resolutely defends
by the Spaniards. The French entered the breach,
but did not obtain possession of it, until after 1000
Spaniards had fallen in its defence. All the strong
posts in its vicinity were of course occupied by the
French. A false attack, 61 opposite quertet,
which drew off the attention of the Spauiards, cnii-
tributed to the success of the enemy on the RI la
of the Retire. The French having made this
greimp, and fully prepared minute for storming ice
town. the Prince of NEUIPCOATIL seat another
summons, at eleven o'clock, on the morning of 1.1.

mediate attempt to take the place by storm, end
granting until two o'clock to send Coutinisbuilers to
treat for the surrender of the place. The adr3l:••

measures were taken in the city up to the Bth, the
;hite of the 16th Bulletin, are not mentioned. The
• titerval was probably passed iisendenvours to t;wii-
quillize the inhabitants, and preparations fur cele-
brating the restoration of King Josue. While
these important measures were is progress at his.
:rid, BONAPAUTS does not appear to have lost
-tgbt of the army of Chstasos, which, after its
defeat at Tudela, had proceeded South-West, 11
Rorja, Calatayad. and Siguenza. iu the direction
of Madrid, with intent to cover that city.—
On the it was recosiruitred in the vicinity of
Goa&!avant, ahoita miles north-east of Madrid,
...oiler the command of General PENA ; CASTANOS
.t•AvitoK been. according to repot', suspended by
• • •••• airy Junta, we mourn- in consequence of
• .tt :.t at Tudela. an event which has been at-
tributed to an• injudicious position of his army ou
that dry. Upon the communication of this intel-
ligence.. the Duke of ISTRIA (Nlarshal Bessieres(
WAS scot with a lar;;:e force of cavalry, followed by
the Duke a Bsu.u,io (Marshal Victor), to
watch its tarrremeats. Oa the snivel of the French
at Guadalitsam, they comet there only the scar
guard of the army of CAhf &NOS, the main body
having passed on in its retreat in the direction of
Andalusia. This rear guard the French attacked
and dispersed. taking 600 prisoners, while it is
said another French foie?, under General Rurtte,
advanced to Aranjuele where be put to Right tlto
part of the ar.oy of CAST/1140s which bud passed
Oustilithisani, and, proceeding to Ocana. cut off its
retreat to Curse*. We apprehend, however, that
the Spanish army did not mean to retreat to Cu.
eine. which lies to the Eastward. bat that it was
priseeediog, and did proceed. South-West, in the',
direction of the Sicrra Morena.
The Bulletins add, that the divisions of Mtt.-
WALD rad Lssat.t.c were ordered to advance on
Portugal by Zilavara de la Reyne, that the English
wesw flying ou retry side, and that the division of
Lasst.i.a haying fallen in with sixteen English
stragglers, put Mew all to the sword. The strag-
glers here alluded to, and thus barbarously mare,-
cord, could be only some of General hors's divi-
sion, which had advanced to the Escurial ; and.
as we have been given to understand, afterward,
rejoined General Mooar's army. As to the al-
leged general flight of the English troops, the
French statement can only mean their re-
treat. We tied by the dispatches brought by the

Orestes, that General Mooag was at Salamanca on
the Bth, the date of the 16th Bulletin, at which

time he way not aware of the Capitulation or Ma-
drid,, and had peseta! a cotyot M &mom w or.
3er to form a junction with Cletwral Batau.—
From the direction which our form are taking, it

would appear that tire enemy may hove a chance
cf interpusing bcta reit thew and Lisbon. We
. trust, however, that if retreat be rivetmary, they
will be able to re.ch that city, as we anderstand
the reinforcements and supplies sent out by Minis-
ters are principally desti.ied for that gander. Sa-
ragossa had not surrendered; but, left alone, the
fall of that brave and loyal city may he anticipated.
Rosia•vtill held oats and a corps of four hisrulred
English, it Is said, were driven into thelen during
the siege. Escurial, which is about lt miles north-
• west of Madrid, between that city and Guar larratna,
it appears made but a sltgbt rriatance. That post
. was not, however, forced until the 3d. The French
force that arrived at 'Madrid, previous to that date,
we may presume advanced on the Eastern side, by
Buitriago.

The Orestes shop of war, of 16 Awns. Captain
LACENOTIERE, arrived, on Sunday lint. at Fel-
nioutli, after a plasagc of eight days from Co-
mma. The lettere and nrwsripers brought by
her will not be delivered until this day. Govern-
ment, however, yesterday received intelligence
from Spain by this conveyance, and in the course
of the day they published the following Bulletin :

ports and harbours of Austria and of Prussia, not-
withstanding the freakier of Presburg mid of Til-
sit, are as much closed by Box AAAAA E as those of
Bourdeaux, or of Marari:les. Even neutrals no
longer exist ; and the ships of America, if they
presume to mitigate the Baltic, or the Adriutic, if
they enter Meinel, ur Mau, or Tneste, are iii-

It must, nevertheless, be admitted, that at Konigs-

the base defection and submission of his late

affording him an asylum in Russia, would have
