A letter from a Major-General in the Bt itish army. dated
Vieux Mcgieurre, near Bayonne, Dec. 21, contains most
animated accounts of the late battle with Soult:—" From all
quarters I hear that Loid Wellington was never more pleased
than he was with the whole proceeding; of that -day (the
13th). It has plot based quiet and rest, more desirable in
this wet weather, for they have not attempted to molest any
part t:f the :luny since. an.l we remain close to Bayonne.
1t is a drliu,htful clima.e and country: the inhabitants far
more kind to its thlw ev .r the Spaniards were. They, ap-
pear ND wish us success, and are anxious for a change in their
Government : scarce a day but item ten to twelve deserters
come in. They cannot depend on their con crusts, who de-
sert whenei.er they can. When they att.,c.,ed us on the
I3+, it with all tie old sold:els, which must make the
loss to them doubly severe. The people here assure us that
in the interior they only want a leade , and a rallying point,
• fur the whole country to revolt. I have sanguine hopes of a
peace, and the downfall of Buotipaite, and expect before
lung to sit by your comfortable rite and tell my long stories
like all old Generals."

A letter from St .Jean de Litz, dated Dec. 19, received in
Glasgow, eonekcie. in the fo:h '606; words Tile general
opinion bete, k that Lord Weilingt 011 W.: II advance in a fuw
days for the purpost, of iovestin:2; Bayonne; Soult, it is ex•
peeled, will leave it, and that thcie w:11 be no siege; a bat-
tle however, (Ape( ted, and it is not improbable that the
Vrench m:4 attack ; if they don't, we must, as a great many
men arc 4Mb:tit cover, and the roads arc so bad they find
great difficulty in getting the men and horses provisioned. I
think it ritore than probable that we may eat our Christmas
dinner in Bayonne. Dead-quarters are to be moved in a day

Itt a VittoriaPawr of the 18th ult. is a Spanish account
of the late sanguiTary engagrrnents on the Nive, which puts,
if possible, the conduct of the Allied troops in a still more
,glorious ;mint of view than the dispatches of the Marquis
Wellington. The Noble .NlO, ortis, with a view to ultetior
operations, has ordered up the ft,urth Spani,h armv, com-
mended by General Freire, which has been so long kept in
the rear; the English hoist- have been also brought to the
front, which indicates • says the Spantsh account) that,
I:l>ckading Bayonne, marching his at my a.cross tle odour,
and placing his cavalry in Pau, he is going to occupy all the
county between that river and the Nive. They also praise
the good effects of the measures, adopter h the Marquis of

A rumour has been. of late conlitlenVy circulated among
