gossa.

We yesterday inserted accounts relating to this
last point, in conformity with four attested letters
received from Madrid, which were shewn to us, and
it appears, on the 'whole, that there is no room to
doubt the complete dispersion of from 16 to 17,000
Frenchmen at Il Lamberto.—(There are two places
of this name, one a league distant from Saragossa;
the other a san6luary and farms, three leagues from
Kausta, which is eight from Saragossa.)
The accounts from Madrid state, that MURAT is
apparently taking measures to fortify himself at
Buon-Retiro ; but that in reality he is preparing to
fly into France ; but if that movement has not al-
ready been executed, it is for fear of being cut
off in the retreat.

VILLANOVA DE GILTEN, JUNE 25.-4 French
corps consisting of 9000 infantry and cavalry, and a
proportionate number of artillery, after having pass-
ed from Barcelona to Farragon, and fallen back to
assist another corps, which 'attempted to enter
Mautesa, was obliged to give up its objeft„ the first
corps also failing of its purpose, great loss having
been sustained on both sides. The following day
the enemy marched for the fort of Muntgat, sold to
them by treason, and passed on to Mataro, where,
after a considerable stay, they destroyed some
houses, giving seven hours plunder, and imposing a
contribution of 8000 pair of shoes. They then
proceeded to Auns and Catipt„ and there also they
imposed a contributiOn of three thousand pair of
shoes. The miserable town of Calliga they mulded
in 4000 piastres. They then went on to Giulia
and a place called Granatog el Suio, where they had
a rencontre with our troops, who obliged them to
retreat, after having suffered a considerable lois in
killed and wounded, the greater part of those who
remained having laid down their arms. The artil-
lery, the cars of provisions, ammunition, and money,
remained at that place. In their retreat they did
not retain their usual haughtiness of manner, nor
did they hold their heads so high as before; the
wounded entered Barcelona without inconvenience,
and the survivors entered the city in like manner.—
It is presumed, that there are in the city, of 15,000
men who composed the army of observation of the
Eastern Pyrenees, 8000 remaining, and the greater
part of those are wounded almost incurably, inso-
much that six or eight died daily.
Alan), repGrts are circulated about what is pass-
ing in Madrid, the Sierra Morena, and Arragon, ;
but as no regulai: courier arrives, we know not the
truth of any of these stories.

PANIPELUNA, JULY is stated that another
a&ion has taken place in Arragon, on the 26th
or 2 th , with great slaughter on both sides. No-
thing more was know-ri, except that the Arragonese
puriued the Enemy as beasts and not as men.

30,000 men, were pursuing the rear-guard of the
French. There were 7,000 men in the last rein-
forcement sent to this General, and they found their
graves at Valrucia.

ASTORGA,VITLY 26.—The army of GaliCia, divid-

our good kingdom of Galicia, in its continued gifts,
and aid of every description.
