VICH (CATALONIA); AUG. f2l.—This Junta of
Government has just received the following official
dispatch from Gerona, which it hastens to commu-
nicate to the public, in order to satisfy their just
desires of knowing the destruction of -the French
army
• " Immediately on,receiving notice that the enemy
had abandoned his camp, and taken a' shameful
flight, in two divisions, one, part towards Barcelona,
and the other towards Figueras, every po‘r,ible care
was taken to pursue them, and to prevent the people
from suffering any detriment by them on their
march...

" DON FRANCISCO DEJWILANS immediately un-
dertook the pursuit of those by the coast; along with
the_ light troops that were undef his command ; and
DON JUAN CL.tao-S set off in quest of those who
took the road to Figueras, with the peasantry, who
put themselves under his orders on the t 6th. This
morning the Junta has heard from the coast, that on
the arrival of the French yesterday at Calilla and the
adjoining towns, the English Frigates, and the
Squadron of St. Felece, put them into so hasty a
fli,ght, that they were obliged to aban on their artil-
lery, which consi.ted of six C2IIIIOIIS a d 70 waggons
of various stores, part of which they burned. As
soon as the people on the coast had notice that the
French were marching that way, they immediately
signified their route as far as Saint Boy, and it is
known that 600 men marched out of St. Coloma,
and 400 from Ostalrich, in pursuit of them ; and
they likewise inform us, -that in St. Boy 2000 men
were in readiness, to prevent the entrance of the
enemy into that capital. The success of ibis attempt
will be the more probable, as the French are in a
state of the. utmost trepidation, From Ampurdant
they state, that the French had arrived at Lien, and
had imposed upon the people of that town an op-
pressive contribution of wine and flour. In conse-
quence of this advice, General Count CALDAQUES
had given orders, that a body of troops from Lerida
should immediately form a junction with the forces
at DE CLAROS, to try to cut them off, and prevent
tho people from having to supply the enemy with
wine and flour.
" As soon as we receive notice of the result of
these two Expeditious, we shall give your Excel-
lency notice thereof.

The. French,- to the number of from four to five
thousand men, made an attempt to ascend La .Mon-7-.
tana, with the view either of occupying that height;
or of getting,into their hands the plate and other ef- •
leas belonging to the celebrated sanauary of Mont-
serrat. That they might the better accomplish this
objeot, they sent
,a spy to the monastery, who
brought intelligence that ,the French were engaged
with the Patriots at Collvato, situated, on the side of
the mountain ; but the domestics belonging to the
monastery, far from giving him credit, seized and
put him to death, and threw his body into the tor-
rent of Los Burros. Fifty of them then took up
arms, and under the command of the lay-brother F.
JOSEPH Ifourtmo and three other,Monks, proceeded
to place themselves in ambuscade, at a favourable point
near Cassa-Macsana. The enemy speedily appeared,
and never dreaming of resistance in that quarter,
were soon put tO•flight in the utmost dismay and
confusion, on finding themselves exposed toa shower
of balls, Without perceiving whence they came.—
Taking an unworthy revenge, they burnt in .their re-
treat two buildings belonging to the monastery, and
the village of Collvato.
