The English were interested in the insurrection of
the Alpujarras. not only in order to eoerash the spi-
rit of revolt. bet also to enable them to procure the
lead which the antes wiliest asematisios prOthtee.
" General Sraiastiaiii's plan of operations not
perurttiog him to leave his troops in the province
of Murcia, whence he had expelled a force of more
that, 13.900 men, souse bands that had come from
Valetas*. succeeded 111 again forming a few corps
in that province. General Selostisui consequeutty
held himself its reedines, to take the field sigma atth

"Colonel lisitssain, of the 43d Regiment, who
commands at Ronda, having, on the lJth June, re-
ceived information of the snit's! at Chrique, of a
few skeletons of Spanish regiments, moved forward
in the night, and arrived in front ,if the place bi
day-break. He instantly caned it to be surround..
ed and attacked. The Spaniards had led men

arms, ammunition, and saddle, which the insur-
gents h id procured from Gibraltar, with the view of
sttep,ing to raise a corps. These articles were

Lurid.
" On the lsth, Captain Daiimmt, of the s.lth
ee4nuent. with a .detaehment of his company, and
tli, wards of Alcandeie surprised a party of 150

who'c of their booty, which as. divided among the
F.eurli soldiers sad the civic guards.

the proviii.:e. of Cordova and Jaen, are, in every
respect. satisfactory. The prosilice of herille sheas
so example to the rest. The usability, lasalliotders,
and clew, ire now fully convinced, that it is pe-
culiarly their ioterest that good order should be re-
established sod nraintastied. _

" Mather Swinish hulk, the Argonataa. which
was employed es an hosp.tal ship, and which had on
Guard 630 sick French prisoner*, stranded in the
ought of the IZ;tit of May, near Matagorda. It was
the .ick themselves that cut the cable.. The enemy,
while she was daring, made every effort to 'sok her
by coition shot, or to set fire to her. The soldiers
of the first corps again dminguilherl themselves on
the occasion, by tb. is zealous exertions to serve their
distres•rd corm odes.
" In Cadiz awl the Isle of Leon there is an avow.
red misunderstanding between the Euglieh and the
Spaniards. The former hurt possessed themselves
of the park of artillery, and planted gam to fire on
the people, from whom they apprehend a rising.
Provisions there are excessively dear; emigration
begins to take place ; and there can be no drinibt
that all the merchants will leave, the place, which is
a prey to all the horrors of war, discord, famine, and
disease.

that port with a number of families, intending to
quit c try. were stopped by the Eng'', t, and
are detained in the bay of Alger:ins. The Junta
of Cadiz has in vain made applications for their ie.
stitutinn. The English declare that they intend to
keep them 40 hostages. This incident has consi-
derably inereascd the discontents of the suliabitan's
