GIBRALTFR MAILS.

GIBRALTAR, OCT. CO.
Private accounts have reached the garrison, which corrobo-
rate the rumours in circulation at Cadiz, of Suchet's having
been repulsed in three successive attacks which he made upon
the Valencian Army at Murviedro. it is even added, that 500
prisoners taken on that occasion, had been conducted to Palma,
in the Island of Majorca.
The French army, when it first occupied the heights of St.
Roque, consisted of about 10,000 foot and 4 or 50t horse, un-
der the command, as is stated by a Polish deserter, of tknetal
Godinot; shortly afterwards they sent a strong Letaclunent to
the Queen of Spain's Chair, where it is still to be seen ; on
Wednesday one of their columns, of about 2 000 men, pro-
ceeded to the Northward, and was descried in the afternoon on
the heights beyond Algesiras, as if intended to march to 'Fa-
riffa; on the next motning, however, it retraced its steps,
driving before it a considerable quantity of cattle; as 14, co-
lumn was coming back, another, twice as strong, marched
back in a northerly direction. and was seen, before sun-set,
two leagues beyond Los Barrios, on the road to Ximena. Four
of our gun-boats, which were stationed off the Orange-grove
in the beginning of the week, have since removed more to the
eastward, so as to flank the left of General Ballasteros's troops,
and fire at the enemy's light parties whenever they come withita
reach; occasional skirmishes take place between the latter and
the Spanish guerillas, in the intermediate space between the
heights and the lines. In the night-time tires are seen from the
garrison in different parts of the mountains round the hay,
chiefly between Algesiras and St. Roque. The inhabitants of
those towns have taken shelter, the former on the (:recta Island,
and the latter under the Rock. In the night of Wednesday a
detachment of the Spanish division embarked in a frigate and a
transport, and sailed to the eastward. On the following night
the ships returned.
The last -advices from Valencia state, that General Blake's
head-quarters continued at Murviedro, and that Officer himself
was constantly in motion. The troops which formerly com-
posed the expedition, and which had been directed to stop on
their march for fear they should communicate the thsoase pre-
vailing in Murcia,- have received counter-orders, and their first
division bad arrived at Murviedro. Insolent lampoons had beea
posted up in the city against Governmert, which was greatly
lamented by the good, who are concerned to see the evangelical
office abused by some clergymen, who have preached in the
public squares in unbecoming language.
In the latter end of Septa tuber the epidemic disease had spread
to 'l'otana and several surrounding villages, but it does not ap-
pear by those accounts to be the yellow fever, but a malignant
distemper, propagated by excessive heat and general distress
and uneasiness of mind.
At Carthagena the fever has considerably abated.
General Mahi has assumed the command of the third army,
and had enacted the pain of death against every deserter, who
shall not make his appearance in eight days.
A report prevails, that the escort which accompanied General
Belliard on his return to France had been attacked.
Much sickness prevails among the French troops in E:trsp
niadura.

FROM THE CA RACCAS GAZETTE.
" CAR A CCA S, AVG. 9-I.—The tree of liberty which has been
planted in these independent provinces flourishes with luxuri-
ance, and has already spread its branches over the seven pro-
vinces of Venezuela. All have experienced the beneficial ea'ects
of its influence, and gratefully repose under its shade, trusting
for protection from the storms of discontent to its expanding
arms. Its enemies are few, its supporters innumerable, and the
day will soon arrive when vigorous scions from its root shall be
planted over the vast Continent of South America.
" The city of New Valencia, which it was apprehended
might long resist our ;arms, has yielded, and there -remain only
the insignificant forces of Coro, and Maracaybe, to oppose the
progress of our successful arms, of which justice is 'the guide,
and liberty the termination. ur victorious troops. under t!..e
command of General Miranda will, after arranging such mit-
ters as may be necessary for the protection of the rights of our
newly acquired allies, proceed against the rebellious districts,
which must suOinit on the approach of our gallant troops.
" The sum of 70,0(10 dollars, with a great quantity of other
treasure, has been taken in the city of Valencia belonging to the
Government. The detailif of the number of persons killed and
wounded, and the mountba: the prisoners have not yet boos
