General ,Duliesine returned to Barcelona. Ile had
scarcely leo men killed and wounded, the loss of
the insurgent* was uotable.
During these operations a fresh line of insurgents
had formed behind Lobrego, which, by the rueltiug
of the snows that had for smite days tidier' en the
mountains, had swoln considerably.. They had
erected, at Mobilo del Re, a battery of three guns,
which calumet the bridge, that bud been broken
down in several parts, and all the fords of the river
down to the mouth of it were beset, besides two
Ilvilig field-pieces hovered on the line.
On the ;lath of June, iu the wonting, the troops
marched to try the liissneente. General Gentles
and Brigadier-t oneral Beseieres proceeded to the
mouth of the river, forced the•passage, and pushed
up the right bank of it, taking all the positions of
the insorgeuts in the rear, who offered no retistatiee,
and experienced a great puss; at the same time the
division of Gene-al Leceiii assailed the bridge of
Moliuws del Re, took possession of it, and took the
three pieces guarding the passage away. The re-
siduary part of the insurgence, who were beaten in
every direction, fell buck on Nlartovell, their place
of rallirnent. General l.eechi pursued than sword
in hand, anti dislodged them from their putition.—
It is secretly poseitile to exaggerate their loss;
40,000 staled of arias were picked up on the field of
battle, end all the attillery of the iiiturgeuts had
fallen u prey to the victors.
On the side of Frgueiras, atroeipnaents of pea-
sants lied formed to break oil* the coniniunicutem
of that place. General Iteible proceeded thither
from Bellegarde on the sth of July ; alter hsviug

The troops marched oft in different volumes, and

On tne next day, the nth, at day break, Marshal
Moncey repaired to Valencia; the vicinage of that
city is intersected by a number of caaale, and co-
treftel with gardens and houses; the suburbs resaeh
to the gates. Marshal Moncey ordered the attack.

that they were in considerable force in and near

that town, and seemed determined to dispute the
visage of the Guadalquivir.
The unnarotin of Alcolea is of considerable ex--
tent and difficult of access ; it was defended by a
tere-deliunt, by batteries erected on a height, and
by corps of infantry. which, from one bawl[ of the:
river, kept up a very brisk musketry tire on the
other. The first attack was *nude on the 7th June
at break of day. On its hying observed that the
bridge was not destroyed, orders were immediately
given to attack the entrenchments, winch were
found of ummrumon depth. The bridge-head, the
bridge, trid the village of Alcolea, were curried hi a
few moments. The insnYgents fled iu the utmost
confusion, leaving behind their artillery and a vast
number killed and wounded. MI who had escaped

from the battte of Aleoleo, retreated into the city

of Cordova, without daring to maintain the comp
which the insurgents had formed in the front of the.
city, mid where a strange and uncommon medley
of maim, pikes, awl Euglish muskets, was found.
When the army had reached Cordova, the Gene-
ral sent for the Corregidor, or Magistrate of th.,
town, aml also desired the Prior of a Convent to
endeavour to prevail on him not to make any re-
sistance. hut to accept the otter of mercy made
him. Theme measures, however, failed of success
and tlrinsurgents, composed of 15,000.aruied pea-
santry, and 2000 regular troops, tired from all sides
on the F►ench army. The tows wag uccordinglv
battered is beach ; the gates were forced, mad the
town ems taken by a-moult. The advantages gain-
ell, this day, were important; the enemy sn :cured
a severe loss, and tranquillity was restored in the
place.
On the 19th Copt Mardi Was detached with a co-
lorfl of 900 foot, and 100 horse, and artillery, to.
procure provisions from Jaen. The insurgent.
fined on two men, who marched at the bead of the
column with flags of truce. The following morn-
iag he made an attack on the entrenched camp,
the citadel, and the town ; it. was made with the
utmost viwtr, nod all the enemy's positions were
curried. The ntsurganta had ,tau filed and 800
wounded, and the column only live wounded. In
the tnenn tine, two divisions of smugglers, com-
posed of almnit :1000 men, had'phictieried to Sierra
Markr, and intercepted the communication with
lqadrith The Duke of Rovigo, who had wisutued
the command in chief after the departure of the
( :rend Duke of Berg, detatlicl thither General
Wedel with his owisdivision, and that of General
Gobert.

General Wedel arrived, on the 213111 of Jane, at
the ntrrow posses of l'ena Penor. Townie in sight
of the enemy, attack and rout him, wits the work ,
of a moment. The insurgents lost !;b0 men, 111,-1:
artillery, provisions, and warlike stoles. We had
two killed and ten wounded, aua General Vs
immediately formed it jtinclien with Gen. Dupont,
who ordered the former to occupy Ila}leu, anti
Gobert to take up a position in mid neat Ca-
rolina. With his firs division he men plod Anda-
jar, on the Guadalquivir, where he constructed a
tear-ate-poet. Another biridge-head was erected
near tho village of hianjilan, on the road which
leads from Peen to Ilaylen.
It was of material consequence to maintain the
position of Ite34 which was nearer the !hie of com-
munication than Aultijar, sod it was impossible to
keep possession of the fitter, aY tquoil us the enemy
should have occupied the former. ll:client! of Bri-
gade Cessaue was detached against Jaen, In the
begnothig of July he had several actions with
t!se insurgruts, iu which he constantly proved vic-
torious.

admit, that this is stated as the preponderating,
and not as the sole motive. "'1 he unexpected in-

Madrid is sitieite in the centre of Spain ; (lenient

must account for the severity with wh.eli the un-
fortunate 1.)13 PONT is treated. He is denounced ;Aso
