The Junta of this pros iIiCC 'continuing to facili-

has this morning ordered the 30th-Begilacut of In-
fantry of the line, named Bozos, consisting of 2400
mess, to set out, which, with the corps that hove
preceded it and those that um to follow, will ibrin
a total of the following force. [Here follow the
issues of the different regiments, their numbers, and
date of their departure.]
These corps are completely equipped, armed, and
accoutred, each haring been prevtonsay reviewed by
His Excellency Captain General 1.)on Rarsiente;
who, without sparing the ;vented palms and fatigue,
his lahoured and coutributed, on his part, sinit
with the consent of the Junta, with the utmost soli-

1,200 men each, and n new regiment of light in-

withstanding its limited riasurees, manifests, in
this manner., to Span, ■ad to all Estop', the ve-
lour and pairiotisneof iohabitants, already mill-
cicntly evinced lo*.tise dittioguished part which
many of these troops hail in the ever-memorable
victory of Baylett, due to their iseriticible spirit.

LONDON,
TUESDAY. Novuescs I.

We yeeterday stated, that Nlinisters had sent off
their Answer to the late Prow.sitioes from Edict,
by a Kisses Messenger. Mr. SIO4W, the Ganes-
aim employed upon this mission. arrived at Dever
so Saturday morning, and sailed in a Raga trace,
foe Calais. about one o'clock. The retail which
married him has returned, and the pimple wriert
ha was very favourably received. Me ked ewe*.

without being ired at.
It is said that Mr. SMAW has orders to proceed
to Erfurt, in care N A POLNON should nut have
returned to his capital, which he probably has, as
the Paris Papers mention that he was expected
back againat the meeting of the Legislative Body,
which, oe believe, was to take place the latter end
of last mouth.

We have received Spanish Papers to the 97th
last. They announce the commencement of the
debarkation of Sr DAVID BASSO'S army at Caren-
vs, early in the morniug of the it4th. As soon as
the troops landed; they proceeded on their march.
The latest intelligence from the theatre of war is of
the 13th, at which date the Spasiards had taken a
large magazine of corn, established by the French
atMilagro, Wu. of Navarre, not fee frees. Tab.
dela. This was done in the free of the enemy, but
they offered no resistance ; not does there appear to
be any foundation for the report of an actin), stated in
the former Spnitirli Papers to ha►e been fought
near Vittoria. Neither is it tree, that PAL ANON
had got completely into the rear of the Frees+, and
penetrated to Minces Valles. The French cavalry
were stationed in that place, and the enemy were
in possession of the road from it to Pompelems ;
of course their retreat was open to the Pyrettees.—
tieueral Btaea's head-quarters were at Bilboa ;
but it is said that his advanced corps were at Er-
myra, in the rear of Vittoria and Durango. The
head-quarters of CASTS NOS were at Tudcla, where
he was daily expected, and the advance of his po-
sitions, it was 'opposed, would be the immediate
consequeuce of his arrival. It is also stated, thet
two large bodies of Spanish troops hail creased the
Ebro, one in the neighbourhood of Caltahorni, and
the other at Logreno, to cut elf the communication
between the French divisious in Alzra and Navarre.

T;ie French army was thus stationed on the If2ti,
in a right liue, with its centre, at Pampeluna, its
rear at Reams Valles, and its ran extending to-
wards the Ebro. Should CASTANOS more forward
from Tudela, his advance must bring one general
action, or the enemy must fall hack upon Pampa-
' lune, the possession of which they will probably
make an effort to retain.

General Mooae, and hie army of eo,ooo men,

:rosined at Lisbon on the 14th, but the first divi-

sion was expected to set out the next day for Al-
meida. The Lisbon article says, " the greatest
part are preparing to go by load fin- want qj trans-
ports." It adds, that Sir Jomw Moose is to
have under him Generals poet sad BEEESIORD.
that Lard CATHCART is to be Cointnander-in-Chief
of the British Forces in Portugal, and that Sir
CHARLES Corros is to return to England, to give
evidence on the trial of General Datavairts. •
Catalonia being at a great di►tance from Cortin;
na, the ordinary channel of our coinmuuication
with Spain, the accounts from that province are
generally of an old date. There is no account c‘:
any operation in that quarter, of a snore recent
date than the JOth of Sept. on which day the French
were attacked and routed between Beans sod Bar-
celona.—Reinforcements being much wanted in
that quarter, the Spanish troops that were at Lis-
bon, and a strong corp. of British troops, are going
there.

The RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR at Madrid bad de-
manded his passport., in consequence of a recent
but it was hoped that he would be dissuaded
from Wail his intention into effect.

at this resplendent era of his career.
