Last nightPutch Papers to the 25 t h ult. reached
town th,,,y contain Paris news to the 20th. Buo7
NA.PARTE I as at length condescended to notice the
operations of his armies, in regular Bulletins., and he
boasts a 4 much of the advantages which. he has ob-
tained over the contemptible Rebel Force in Spain (to.
use his own language), as he did fur the 'vic-
tories of Austerlitz, Auerstalt, or Friedland.—
Thefirst of these Bulletins is dated the 9th ult. at
Vittoria. It contains a detail of the operations of
the armies down to the 77th, in which the French
are, of course, represented as being uniformly suc-
cessf,;l. The loss of the Spaniards is represented as
between three and four thousand killed and wound-
ed. The second Bulletin is dated the 12th, at
Burgos, and gives an account of the attack upon the
part of the Army of Estremadura which occupied
Burgos. The Spaniards, it is said, were defeated
with the loss of 3000 men killed and 3000 Prisoners.
This certainly is a most singular circumstance, for
the Count DE BELVEI.3II, who commanded the Spa-
niards upon that occasion, had not above 5700 men,
and we know that he retreated in good order, with a
coas;derable part of his force and yet the Bulletin
gravely asserts, that he lost 6000 in killed and Pri-

A great number of reports were yesterday in
respecting the progress of the French in the
North of Spain. It was stated that a very large
division of the French army had advanced as far
as Benevento, and had completely cut off all.
communication between the armies -of Sir JOBN
11fIootic and Sir DAVID BAIRD ; that the former,
apprehensive of being attacked by superior forces,
bad began his retreat to Portugal, and that.the latter,
it st iiar real had made a retrograde mcive-
mew towards Corunna, breaking down the bridges,
and degroying the roads in his rear. And it was fur-
ther added, ihatGoverncnent had received intelligence
to the above effect. We are not till through what
channel the above accounts Were received, nor are we
inclined ro give them the smalles! credit. Govern-
ment, we can .state posi ively, have nut received
3ny such intelligence : at the same time it is by, no
means improbdale, that in consequence of the rapid
and unexpected advance of the French, the British
Qenerlls may have halted, but this is. merely a matter
Of co:;jeBnre. .We wait with impatience for some
authentic intelligence respeEting the movaments of
the Spanish Army on the Ebro : if the details
which have reached us of its success be true,
the right wing of the French must either retreat
ix,ith as much celerity as it has advanced, or it will
run the risque of being cut off. But it wo4ld
be wasting the time of our Fie: tiers to enter
into spt.-eulations upon this subjea, when we are
not in posses:iion of the fa6ts. We feel great
pleasure in assuring our Readers that the Su-
preme Junta has received the most sati,fatiory
accounts from Mexico of the unanimous determina-
tion, on the part of the Inhabitants, to woke every
possible exertion to atlbrd the most liberal peciiniary
supplies for the support of the glorious contest in
uhich the Mother Country is engaged.
It was also reported yesterday evening, that a
Telegraphic Dispatch had reached; the Admiralty
in the course of the day, announcing the defeat of
the Spanish. Army. We are enabled to state positive-
ly that there is not the slightest foundation for this
report.
