likevrie took 16, and made himself master of their
camp, losing only one serkant and three soldiers.
On the came evening he was attacked by 400 dra-

By.oceeintits received by the ma'il of yesterday,
J•ly.6, it appears. that Ciudad Rodrigo still merle
• vigorous defence ou the 2J inst. The stock had
been mogt violent, and the defence as heroic. The
enemy must have ►uffered considerable loss : they
hsve there united elmust all their forces, as is evi-
dent by the small garrisons they have left in the
kingdom of Leon, and the progress which the
Spanish fi)ing Itam. s in .kr in the interior of Spain.

13y letters from Cucr.S dated the id inst. we
learn that a column of the enemy, consisting of
5,000 men, lisd advanced to within six leagues of
that city, alwint the Litter rod of :11sy ; but the
French, perceisitt4 the good dispo.itiou of the
inhabitints to re, rive them, and their respectable
form, General Bausecoart found it prudent to
retire by the Gua lasima. It is supposed that they
are gone to escort the pretended King Joseph ou
his journey.
We know with certainty that the French, whom
General Sas AsilAN I krt. in Bata, have retired friun
that place, taking with them the artillery and am-
Inuoitinti they had tilitrP. It is said that the three-

(ion of their niaich is for Granada, though oth. rs
suppose it is by Despenlitiperros. The cause of
this hasty retreat is strppo.rd by some to be the
sudden appearance or sercuty sail of transports oft'
Cape Gists; and by .the, to keen the way open in
case it should be found necessary to nine : hut it
is certain that there has not been a single French-
man in the kingdom of Sari for eight dat•s post ;
that in that of Granada, they only occupy the cities
of Granada anti Malaga; and that in Cordova, the
garrison dues not exceed t,O'X nieu...-/Jest

LONDON,
TUESDAY. Jviv 17.

Wt. received, last night, Lisbon Papers to the
sth inst. Ciudad Rodrigo iontinued to make a vi-
gorous defence up to the Ja. The enemy wade a
great effort on the 2.1, but the defence was as heroic
as the attack. and their loss was considerable.—

M♦rsatt♦ has concentrated all the force which he
could master on this point; and if be can obtain
this key of Ponugsl, Lord Wat.p.taueost, we fear,
must speedily coutineuce his retreat : in Centel's-
plition of which event, we are happy to learn, that
Ministers hare had sense enoligh to pros ide the
mewls fur the re,:totrarkatiou a our army. But

diutild sods be unhappily the result of un expe.i.l
tion, commanded even by the supernatural talents of
a WettEstse, what is to Isecome of the Portu-
guese part of his army, enrolled by Act at' Par-
liament in British pay ? No doubt they too must

line drawn to his assistance, on the Portuguese fron-
tier, every soldier within his reach. It is at Ciudad
Rodrigo, the fate of Cadiz, shit we fear% of the
whole Spanish Peniustilu, will be decided.

The early accounts of the riot at Stockholm
stated, that the ostensible parties were of the lowest
class of society ; at the same time they threw out
a suspicion, that the rioters *ere instigated by per-
tons of consideration, as money beyond their httit.st
means was Cloud tipm, those who were taken into
custody. By a Ootteuhurgh Nlail, which ari*Reil
last night, we have accounts which corroborate this
suspicion.--They 6t;i:e that several events of con-
sequence bud recctitly taken phice.

It will he tern, its our extracts from the Dublin
Pap(rt, that the Batik of Ireland, ut the recom-
mendation of Government, hat agreed to grant a
loan of '400,0001. fur the relief of the Manufacturers
of that city ; and that a Committee hat been ap-
pointed t 4 receive application% Thia it con.
bidtred • eery inadequate remedy ; and, ..t
brat, only calculated to produce u temporary
relief. Of this opinion is the Editor of The

Dotilin roe:ling Post, who recommends us a
more efficient mode of ameliorating the state of
hlanufactuies, that the army on the iiish Esta-
blishinent should be clothed with Irish Menu•
failure ; for which purpose he proposes that a
pattern be taken from an English contractor, and
in making a calculation of the valise, let there he
enumerated the various expellees of brokerage,
commission, inland carriage in Englawd, freight
and instiruit:v across the cliannel—and then, if an
Irish manufacturer will engage, on approved se-
curity, to supply a contractor with cloth of equal
quality, at the fair price, covering the charges just
enumeritted„ let Min he prefTred. A permanent
relief would certainly be given to the Irish Manu-
factures by this annual increase of their consump-
tion; hot it would fall grotty short of the evil. Othe►s
think, that nothing less than a ;epee! of the Union
can retrieve the country ; and, at a dmner given by
Sir lOWA RIODAI.I., one of the high Sheriffs of
the city, that eithp-ct was si rinuely discussed,
and notice given of a motion for its repeal. 'Mr.
FOSTkli aas one of die most determined and steady
opponents to the Union, and, of course, its repeal
must be an object near to his heart. In this instance,
them he will participate in the feeling; of those who
con•uler his finane al system as the great cant*,
neat to the Unioii, of the present distressed scar
of tout comitry. As to the present date of Dub-
lin, there is not an imelligent man, in either island,
who did not foresee it. Great as this metropolis is,
the re:noval of Parliament (mid with it; of course.
the Aristocracy of the country). to Dublin, would
soon be sensibly felt in every street and square,
from Chelsea to Mile-end ; and yet Loudon
has great foreign trade and cAinecitoos to en*.
him it, of which Dublin cannot boast a propor-
tionate ■hare. lu fact, it was admitted by the
warmest advocate of the Union, at the time of ►ts
discussion, that it would eventually ruin Dublin ;
but they argued that this partial mischief was
greatly outweighed by the general beerfit which it
would confer upon that country, cud the empire at
large.

I.'e have received German Papers to the 7th,
French to the 10th. and Dutch to the Will instant,
from which we have mule extracts. They contain
arming, frini Itayoune to the •29th last, which state
that Massta A is preparing fur the invasion of Prir-.
tu4al with great eir,ntsr;. that, iu the other part. or
Spain, the French affairs are in a pros: —nous state;
and that the Russians have obtaiuesl - ...e slight
advantages over the Turks.
