CASTANOS'S Army is not ,Innilli:ated2 that

the French, notwithstan4ing their vicAory, nave

not ventured, • to advitr.ce very far.

The batik:

'vas fought near inciela, and the last Bulletin is

dated the 28th ult. at Aranda de Duero, which is in

Old Castile, about .45 roilei' to the S.E. of Valladolid.

acconnts thaefore of the French having enter-

ed Madrid is unfounded they (have not even reached

the frontiers of Nes,v Castile.

Upon the whole,

therefore, we are inclined to ;.onsider these accounts

(even admitting the whole of them to be Init..) as
by no means calculated to excite any thing like

pond:ncy for the cause of the Spaniards.

These Bulletins do not contain any accounts from

the Army of the North subsequent to those which

have Oredy reached

clivi,ion of the French Army had commenced

the siege of Itosui. a sea-port in Catalouia, awl the

Moniteur gives a detailed account of the progress of

the siege.

IT ,was this morning very confidently reported,
that Loci CHATnAm h;►d been appointed Com-
mander in Chief of the British Arnica in Spain and
Portugal, and that be had left town to embark for
Spain, but we have no rea,on to believe the report.

FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY IN SPAIN.

BURGOS, Nov. lg.—The fate of the. Army of
Estremadura has been decided in the plains of Bur-
gos. The Galician Army, beaten in the battles of
Durango, Guenes, and Valmaseda, has been dis-
persed in the battle of E4pinosa. This army was
composed of the ancient Spanish Troops, which
were in Portugal and Galicia, and which quitted
Porto towards the end of June; the Militia of Gali-
cia, Asturias, and Old Castile ; of 5000 Spanish
Prisoners-which the English had cloathed and armed
at theii'expetace, -and disembarked at St. Andero ; of
the Volunteers of Galicia, and of Regiments of Ar-
.,
tillery,
,and of the troops which the traitor ROMAN A
had carried away from the-North. This army had
the presumption to attempt cutting off our commu-
nication with Biscay. For ten days it was driven
from post to post : at last, on the 10th of November,
it arrived at Espinosa, where, in order to save its
artillery, magazines, &c. it formed in order of battle,
as it believed, in a situation not to be forced. At
three o'clock in the afternoon, Marshal BELLUNE
arrived in front of the enemy. General PATCHOD
was ordered to carry a small battery occupied by the
troops of the traitor RomaNA. This position was
excellent, and defended by their best troops; but
General PATCHOD with his corps fell upon these
troops, who had abused onr confidence, and broken
their oaths. In an instant they were broken and
driven down the precipices. The enemy made se7
veral attacks, in all of which they were defeated.
During the night both armies remained in, their
positions. While this was taking place, the Duke
of Dalmatia. marched towards Reynosa, the only re-
' treat of the enemy. At break of day the enemy
were attacked both on the right and left by the
Dukes of Dantzic and Bellune, and General, MAI.,
soil advanced against his centre. The enemy
I ' •
fled, throwing aWay, his arms and , colours( and
abandoning his ~artillery. The Duke of Dantzic
took at Reynosa their attillery,/magazines and bag-.
gage, and -tnatld', some.- prisoners. ' Thus the

enemy have begn turned not only at Rey-
nosa, but at Palentia. Sixty pieces of cannon
have been taken, 20,000. men killed or pri•
sowers,, tWti'Sp'anish Generals killed. All the suc-
cours, in
,arms, iScc. sent by. the Engli§h, have fallen
into our hands: BLAKE saved himself by taking to.
the Asturian mountains ; I.IOMAYA, with a few
thousand,ruen, is marching towards St. Andero.7--•
Our lass is' trifling in these combats, not exceeding
30 killed and 300 wounded. We have not lost any
°dicer of distindion.

ELLVENTH BULLETIN O,F THE ARMY OF
SPAIN.

Aranda de Duero, Nov. 27, tgoil.

Pants, DEc. 4.—His Majesty on the tgth sent
off the Marshal Duke of Montebello. with instrue-,
tions for the movements of the left, of which he
gave him the command.

The Duke of Montebello, and the Duke of Co-
neglia.po, concerted measures together at Lodosa on
the 20th, for the execution of the orders of his Ma-.

jesty.
Op the !;,,t,st, the division of General LAGRANGE,
with the brigade of Light Cavalry of General COL..
BUT, and the brigade of Dragoons of General Di-
JON, set out, frop Logrogno by the right of the
Ebro.

At the same time the four divisions composing
the corps of the puke o(Conegliano passed the river
at Lodosa, abandoning the whole country between
the Ebro and Fampeluna.
On the hid, at the break of day, the French
army began its march. It took its aireetiDn to Ca-
lahora, where, on the evening before, were the
head-quarters of CAstAxos. It found that town
evacuated, and afterwards marched upon Alfaro.
The enemy had in like manner retreated.
On the 23d, at break of day, the General of Di-
vision LEFEBVRE, at the head of the cavalry,

and supported by the division of General MORLOT,

forming the advanced guard, met with the enemy.
He immediately gave information to the Duke of
Montebello, who found the army of the enemy in
seven divisions, consisting of 45,000, men, wider

arms, with its right before Tudela, and its left
occupying a line of a league and a half; a dispo-
sition absolutely bad. The Arragonese were on
`. the light, the troops of Valencia and, New Castile

in the centre, and the three divisions of Andalusia,
Which General CASTANOS commanded, more especi-
ally formed the left. Forty pieces of catuton covered
the enemy's line.

At nine-in the morning the columns of the French
army began to deploye, With that order, that regu
larity and coolness, which charaderize veteran
troops. Situations were chosen for establishing
batteries with sixty pieces of cannon, but the im-
petuosity of the troops, and the inquietude ot. th°
enemy, did not allow time for this. The SpAnish.
was already vanquished, by the _order and move"
meats of the French army. to
Duke of Mogrzsztr.o. mused the centre
be pierced by the division of the General MAURICE
MATHIEU. The General of Division Lsrsvilf,
with his cavalry, immediately passed throug
openingh this
apd by a quarter-Wheel to the left, enve-
loped the whole right of the enemy.
The moment when half of the enemy's line founa
itself thus turned and defeated, was that in
General LAGRANGE attacked the Village nt. C3s*
clnte, where the line of CASTANOS was pince'l'
and which did not exhibit a better countenance than
the right, but abandoned the field of battle, leaviag
behind it its artillery, and a' great number of Pris°n-
ers. The cavalry pursued the remains of the e°"
