Thowgh we have no official accounts from Ciu-
dad Rodrigo. we know that tho tire from the place
isiakea• considerable impression on the enemy, and
does them great damage. Notwithstanding the
besiegers have outran( ed their batteries so near, the
short calibre of their pieces prevents their having
the effect that might be expected ; and as the ad-
vice. must deserving credit do not make the army
of Massena to amount to more than 20,001 men,
we confidently trust that the Anglo•l'ortuguese

The faithful city of Mexico:in conjuliction with
the illii.triuus Vice Karig, gave yesterday a signal
proof of their energy, and the contempt is which
they hold tla, rile efforts of the dete,table Joseph
Bonaparte to subvert our loyal minds. During
last week, and while the faithful were celebrating
the mystery of our redemption, and implming at
the foot of the altar assistance in these trying times,
there fell unto the baud, of the Government, through
an act of Divine Providence, a number of Prods-
in itions, which the infamous Joseph Bonaparte hid
sent to America by faithless etnissarits, equally ig-
norant as himself.

These proclamations abounding with promises,
threats, foolishness, perfidy, and humidity, met the
reception they justly merited, it beiag ordered that
they should he committed to the flames, which was
done yesterday morning, with all the solemnity
usual in CAWS of flew:int delinquency.
