paces. The Nag of truce having returnee, the
troops of his Majesty assaulted with ftesh ardour all
the posts which the enemy had re-occupied alnico's. •
pletely overthrew his.
" After an hour of repose, the enemy attempted a
sally with three battalions, which he mspported with
a sustained fire of fifteen pices of cannon, both front
the town and citadel. This sally was promptly re•
pulsed by battalions taken from the 22d, Stith, cad
30th regiments of the line, led on by Generals Dal-
bignse and Marguerrye.
" Nothing could be compared with the state of
' the troops, soldiers, officers of the line, officers of the
staff—every body has done his duty. It was with
cries of Ywre le Btu, that his loyal subjeets constantly
combated, and answered the vociferations of the Re-
voltitionists. General 13isurke cites with distinction
the Aide-de-Camp of his Royal Highness, Lieut
Col. Dalallitti, who was conwantly in the midst of
the fire, the Colonel of the artillery depot, and Capt.
Ducicr.
" We have to regret only the loss of twenty men
killed or wounded. The loss of the enemy must
have been much greater, as they were twice re-
pulsed. His Royal Highness will, to-morrow, dis-
tribute on the spot the rewards due to the comities
of the most distinguished officers and soldiers. The
head quarters of the army will be to-morrow, the
10th, at Ernani. and on the 11th at Tolosa.

A mail from the Leeward Islands had arrived,
with letters from St. Thomas's to the 21st
The persuasion being then general that hostilities
between France and Spain had actually commented.
the movements of the French naval force in the
West Indies were anxiously watched. It was so
firmly believed in the islands that England was to
side. with Spain, that it was given out ut Porto Rico
that the English Rag was to be hoisted in conjunc-
tion with that of Spain as soon as the declaration of
war was received, and the report obtained credit the
more readily, from the circumstance of there being
'at that time three or four English ships of war in
the harbour of St. John's. Several French mer-
chantmen had token the alarm, and Red from Porto
Rico to take shelter in the neutral ports of St. Tho-
mas's. It was also stated that a rich Spanish ship.
from Havannah had been taken by a French min of
war. No letters have been received by this packet
either from Trinidad or Tobago, and it is feared,
therefore, that the mail bout which shuuld bring
them to St Thomas's has been lost.
By advice. from Porto Rico of the Ist of January,
it appears that commissions had been granted to
. privateers to cruise against all vessels, of whatever
description, trading with any of the Spanish colo-
nies, and that no other circumstance was required to
procure condemnation that proof of the trading, or
attempt to trade. A privateer of 14 guns and IRD
men was then fitting out, intended to go in the
track of vessels bound to Buenos Ayres az* round
Cape, Horn.
