" The army of Galicia extends from this place to
very. near Astorga, occupying a space of more than
three leagues, it-winding the encampments in the ad-

joining Villages.

" OLir General 'Seignor BLAKE is here forming
his dispOSitions. The p-Ost-.Office for the army is
establish'ed at Membihre.

"Yesterday arrived lire 'the• famous volunteer
battalion of Vi&oria, with their black'colonrs, bear-
ing the inscription " Viaor:y or Death." With
'this motto, and their determined s4pirit, it May well
be speed that they strike terror intO the enemy.
It is tiaid that they neither take 'nor give quarter.

• Cotaticsk, Aua.l.—The latet intelligence from
our array, , transmitted by his Excellency the Cap-
tain-General of the forces and of the kingdom, D.
JOACIVIN BLAKE, iS, that it all continues to repo-se
and recruit itself after the lateengagement, and that
he is taking the most effectual measures foi• our de-;

OPORTO, JULY 25.-----The French General LAM-
SON, nick-named Mu/zeta (lame -Of one hand), re-
treated to ,Lisbod, and afterwards I,tlvaticed with
4000 men as tar as Pinal d'Azambige, but he be-
came alarmed, and again returned to Lisbon.

i'l►~:,

intelligence is confirmed 'by an Tichabitantof this
city, who arrived yesterday ficin the capital. It is
certain th.t there are ts;uoti Spaniards at Abrautes,
.waiting the orders •of their Govertndent as to then
- .
advancing to attack -Lisbon.
This day; has arrived-off the' bar a numerous con-
voy .1
of LEnglisli vessels, having on board 10;000
trcops, and a. great qua‘otity of ammunition and
•arms. •• • • •

inc eutfii!rings of J r countrymen at Lisbon de-
serve our ttiDOSt Comp:4s6lOn ; but the preparations
for organizing our aralycould not have been for-
warded with .more activity than they have been by
our Government. Already there is a cOnsiderabie
body of troops at Coimbra,-and al,o at Figueira; and
now that the English are about
:to land, while the
Spaniards are cowing down, and an attack is at the
same time to be ruade_by sea,lt is to be hoped that
our capital will be speedily rescued from those rob-
bers and ruffians, who,, while they promised
,protec-
tion, were guilty of, insult and robbery wherever
they went. We shad then be completely at liberty
to assist our good neighbours and brothers at Lisbon.
\Ve _expect here, in a short time, all the Purtu-
.gu6e'Ships which were in England, and alto the
Portugiese troops and other persons who, had em-
barked for the Brazils, but have not yet left England.
The PortugUese army is to be modelled on .a new
Plan. Slime corps of cavalry,. and some new bat-
talionS alight troops are now forming._
Another party of French prisoners -.have been
brought in from Da Cavillan.

Two vessels, one of them regularly arme4,:. have
sailed from this port for Rio*Janeiro.

iiADAJOZ, JULY 18.---A Supplement to the
D►ary of this date-contains the following details of
the military events. which have taken place at'Valen-
cia :—"Murcia, July 2,—Here we have passed
.some gloomy days, in consequence. of understanding
that the French were direeling their march towards
this part of the kingdom. About three week ago
we received 'information that Marshal MoNQ had
arrived at Cuenca, with 12,900 men and a strong
corps of cavalry, .the Valencians having been too
late in taking measures to prevent his progress. The
real intentions of the French were nevertheless still
.doubtful, though the most general opinion was that
they' would attack Valencia, by the redu6tiOn of
which both these kingdoms would be left in the
mast defenceless condition, and they would have the
means of forming a junOien with those in Catalonia..

- The approaches to thu kingdom of Va;.:icia.are
abdr,lantly defended by nature, by means_ of the ri-
vers Ci*riel and St:war, and a chuin• of extremely
rugged nico,:tains ; oildt these were occupied by
some troops

army was hosted on the southern bank. of the Jacar.
and also a part of that of Valencia, having their head:
quarters'at Almanza, and 'their advanced 'guard at
Chinchilla. and Albacete', where' they lay without
the slightest molestation.: On the:2lst Mosck.if
attacked the mountains of Valencia, which be
crossed, though not without some loss, and immek
diately advanced to the attack of Valencia.
" We were apprised of the result of the attack, but
remained without any official advises until the 30th
Ult. when the following dispatch was received here :
On the 26th Seignor CARO attacked MONCEY'S
army at Ballots, and made great havoc among his
cavalry and infantry.' After this defeat, Moticat
retreated to between Quarte and Mislata, where he
was attacked a second time by Seignor CAR°, and
sustained considerable loss.

During the night of the 27th, Seignor CARo
advanced to cover and defend ValenciA. The ene-
my directed his march towards that city on the 2811,
and made a furious attack upon it. They began a
discharge of musketry and artillery at one P. M. and
continued the firink incessantly until eight in the
evening. The inhabitants returned' the fire with
cannon planted in the gates and on the walls, and
also with an incessant discharge of musketry from‘
the tops of the hOuses. The gate of Quarte was
the principal object of attack throughout the. whole
of the ac!ion. But the continued firing from the
citadel, and the glorious resistance made by the ar-
my of Seignor CARO, who chsrged with their bay-
onets, occasioned so great a slaughter among the
enemy, that at eight o'clock they were. obliged to
retreat to their head-quarters, between Quarto and
Mislatai which was defended by strong batteries.

On the 2gth the forces under the command of
Seignors CERVELLON and LLAMAS advanced towards
the enemy, in order to attack him on all sides, by
placing him between the fire of the city and of the •
Murcian and Videncian armies; and it is. at this ma-.
ment thought that there is not a remnant left of these
rubbers, who, to their other losses, have to add that
of six pieces of cannon►.'

" Sinve writing the above the poSi has arrived,
anB brings intelligence that the French were entirely
deitvoyed, with the exception of from 1000 to 2000
men, who were -wandering about the country and
endeavouring to make their escape, but who were
expeaed to share the same fate as the rest."
AGREDA, JULY i7.—We have just received intel-
ligence of the complete defeat of 3000 Frenchmen,
who attempted to penetrate into Saragossa on the
14th.

.It is ascertained beyond all doubt, that in the re-
peated attacks made upon the Arragonese since the
15th of .rune, the French have lost no less than
20,000 inkilled and wounded.

TOLEDO, JULY Ig.--At five o'clock in the after•
noon of the 15th, 110 Royal Carabineers, with I I
Officers, a pair of colours,- military chest and kettle-
drums, eiitered this place, having .marched 'sixteen
leagues without meeting any• obstruaion, . They
had orders'ro proceed to the town of. Chinchon,
but learning that two corps of French troops were
marching for that Awe with the intention of making
,there prisoners, this distinguished band, anxious to
sacrifice their lives in defence of their country, and
their King Ferdinand VII. determined to set off
from that town to join the army under Cetera'
CASTANOS, with the exception of a Serieant- Major
and a Captain, who spewed no disposition to follow
them.- They intended to halt fere during the tOth,
but learning that the ] two French corps had actually
arrived at Chinchon, they set out at twelve at noon
in'order to join General CASTANOS. .

RIO SEGO, JULY /23.---The French-, driven to rage
and madness by the great slaughter and discomfiture
which they had sustained in the battle of the 14th,
entered this place with fire and sword, patting to
death every one who fell in their way in the streets,
and in the houses. In 'one street they killed 129
individuals, and in a Single ward .upwards of 200.
'The place is every where filled with dead bodies.
This carnage was tollowed by.an indiscriminate pil-
lage, which continued during the whole of the
night ; and whatever they could not carry off with

CORUNNA, itILY 30.—Marshal BESS/ERES has seat
an,bther letter to our General" in Chief. It is dated
lhr 28th, and the excuse for sending It is, that a sa-
ti,tactou answer was not returned to the former.—
Il;e substance is to represent, with every expres-
sion of respect, that he ought to avoid the unneces-
sary :Ind useless effusion of blood, as the BOURBONS,
who were expressly named, could never reign, con-
sistently with the safety of France and the greater
part of Ourope. A desire of an interview was ex-
pressed, and a place was named for the meeting.—
To all this the following answer was returned :
" luly 28, zBoB.

(.` S:6•Nrort MARsITAL.—I have received your
Excellency's letter with- due respect, and renew to
rx. my acknowledgments for your having set at
liberty the 400 or 500 prisoners taken in the baffle
of Rio Sco, whom your Excellency calls peasants of
Galicia. They are, however, real soldiers. They
are recruits incorporated in the regiments of the
tine, though they did not wear uniforms. I explain
this circumstance, not to exempt myself from ac-
knowledging the generous conduct of your Excel-
lency towards these men, but lest any equivocal
idea siould, at another time, bring on them a treat-
ment they would not deserve, as your. Excellency
must yourself be sensible, from the manner in
which you express yourself.

`• Your Excellency will find Me always disposed
to diminish, as much as possible, the.horrors of war,
taking pride to myself in imitating your condua in
that respect. But I cannot allow myself; Signior
General, to admit the conference which you pro-
pose, nor to cuter into any discussion on the sub-
jeM which would be to be agitated in it. Your Ex-
' cellency tells me that the family of Bourbon has
ceased to reign in Spain, and that their return to
occupy-their -throne would be the means of destroy-
ing France and a great part of Europe. What is then
the great crime that family has committed It is,
perhaps, the frank, loyal, and intimate alliance
which has for thirteen-years united it to France.
" But I exceed the limits I have set to myself,
by entering into observations; and I must confine
riiyseff to 'entreat your Excellency to abandon the
projea of changing my opinion, which is well made
u?•on this matter. Your Excellency would, with-
out doubt, be offended, if I proposed to you to
change your party and to abandon the Emperor of
tio French, Whom you have sworn to support; and
sorely you ought to rerlec`:t, that on the same princi-
ples I ought not to listen to the propositions of your
Excellency ; nor is it right that your Excellency
should make them to a man of honour. •

sf I regard with high estimation your Excellency's
military talents, And I am pruuu' to be opposed to so
4istinguished au antagonist, As to tint result of this
‘;,,niest, I rely with the fullest :contidencon thel)i-
litue Providence which decides the fate of Armies
and Natiuns, and will soonerot•later look with an
cye of favour on the just cause which we defend as
true Spaniards-4 renew to your Excellency, Signior
Marshal, the assurances of my high consideration.

SHORES OF TIM BAY OP BISCAY, AUGUST
I am this moment informed, that the Packet which
a: rived on Sunday evening from .England, is about
to return instantly, in order to convey the glorious
telligercce which has just been received; and I
must therefore hasten, in a few worth-, to give you
()[-ne idea of the present state of the.public mind in
this part. If. the %spirit of all. Spaiu may be esti-
fai that of Galicia, there can, be no doubt
'that it %Via vanquish every obstacle which May be
thrown in the IA ay of the: national independence and
freedom. Every one is WI of.hope and .joy. The
public confidence. has shewp itself, by an ad of de.-
cision, which, Were any 'apprehensions remaining,
-would never have been risked. On Sunday the peo-
yle demanded of the Niagktrates the arrest of the
hunch residing in Corunna. Tbisrcquest was corn-
viied with, aua executed, for the rnorbent, with in-
Ji4eriniitiating riguur, witith will no doubt be very
soon relaxed in favour of those who are well known,
and have been leg:dly settled in the- country for
even such persons were apprehended. The prisoners
have been all taken to the common jail, but their
-property liaA not seen seized, and-no personal violence
'has been committed against any one. I understand
that this net of seeming severity was provoked by
the expression, if not of wishes, at least of an opi-
nion in favour of
.the French arms, by some of their
',..onntrytnen residing here. The number of those
'apprehended, of .different ranks and conditions
amounts to between 3G and 40.

This anecdote I relate as domestic occurrence,
which of course t 3 us more particularly. 4is
to th,- general affairs of Spain, the Public Papeis
Win contain the details, of which I can relate only
-a bilminnry.

To spea'4 apin of ourselves, we are proud of our

TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1808.

WE yesterday laid before our Readers all the de-
tails which had 'reached. Goveruinent respecting the
glorious vi&ory obtained over General DU;PONT, but
as the letters of Generals CASTANEOS and
only appeared in part of our itnpressibn, we have this
day re-printed them. -.

After having on scr,many oCcasions manifested
the fervent interest which we take in the fate of the
Spaniards; it is, needless. for us to express the high
degree of pleasure which we felt in -having an op-
portunity of presenting to the public the authentic
accounts of their glOrious viaory, a vi&ory that, iii
.
the present state of affairs in Spain, is of the utmost
importance to the Country, but of essentialimport-
,
import-
ance also in its probable consequences, as it will
shew that the strength and spirit of the Spa-
niards aye commensurate with the justice of their
cause: Such a triumph of their arms, unexperienced
-as they' are, and chiefly direaed by the impulse
of loyalty and patriotism,' cannot but animate them
in their glorious career,' and 'Proportionally depress
the hopes.of the Tyrant who assails them:' Their
, ,
cause excites the sympathy, and the anxious wishes
of mankind in their ratoni. His Motives adtnif.Of
no palliation. They are not only adverse to the par-
,
licular people whom be is endeavouring to enslaye,
but to the best interests of man in all future ages.—,-
But its immediate results are the chief objeeis of
.attention at this moment'. Andalusia is efl:eaually
deliverz.d from its enemies, one of their ablest Ciene:;
•
rals has been discOmfited, BASSIgRES will mosrpra-
bably be arrested in course, if he, is not In,'

vanced, and Sir ARTI;U WU LESLEY R '!aan he,
EY .may pro-
ceed at once' to an attack Qr.: JUNOT, 'who mast
speedily surrender, 01' l:" reduced to the most

perilous extremity. The consequences to Siyal73, in

a very short time, must be the recovery of her capi-
tal, and JOSEPH BUONArARTE will measure his steps
back to France, notwithstanding the pompous ac-
counts that have been given of his Royal progress,
and that only denote
" Mouth honour, which the poor tongue would fain deny,

but dares not."
All the other Provinces of Spain may be confidently
expected to follow the example of Andalusia. But
another consideration highly gratifying is, that the
Tyrant will have no opportunity of putting into prac-
tice those treacherous arts by which he_has ensnared
other nations, into their own ruin. The Spaniards
'hold him in the utmost detestation—they have pro-
claimed that detestation in spirited appeals to man-
kind, which have been circulated, we hope, through-
out the Continent, even including France.—CASTA-
NOS, the intrepid General, who has achieved this
glorious viEtory, is now at liberty to lead his valiant
forces to other triumphs, and indeed we may fairly
hope, that' the next intelligence. from Spain will
spew, that the troops of the great Disturber of man-
kind will be ready to follow the steps of their Imperial
master, who has thought proper to desert them, as he
did their comrades in Egypt, and whose retreat at so
critical a moment may be considered. as a sign that
he began to despair of success, and left the disgrace
of failure to be shared among the Generals whom he
employed to execute a measure which must entail
eternal infamy upon all who are concerned in it.
The very spoils of this glorious ViCtory, twenty'
thousand musquets, and a proportionate qnantity
ammunition, &c. &c. are no small advantage in the-
present critical state of Spain ; and it is a snbjea-Of
pious gratitude for the Spaniards, that the means
tended for their destru6tion are become the instru-
ments of annoyance to their foes.

WE have been favoured with the following Offi,
cial Dispatches from Generals CASTANEOS and TILLY
to the Supreme Junta of Seville, announcing the
glorious Nr iaory over General EUPONT.
" MOST SERENE LORD,

" I have the satisfaction to inform your Highness
of the complete Victory which has been gained since
the Battle of Baylen. Gen. DUPONT is a Prisoner of
War, with all his division, arms, artillery, baggage,
&c. The remainder who were not engaged in the
a6tion, although they did not .share this fate,
are included in the Capitulation, and obliged to
return to France by sea, that not a Frenchman
may remain in Andalusia. My Nephew, Colo-
pt.] Don PEDRO AGUSTIN GIRON, will communi-
cate the details of the affair; in the mean time
I assure your Highness that the gallantry of. the
Officers and Soldiers, and their constancy under

toils and privations are worthy of the just estima-
tion in. which the army deserves to be held by your
Highness, and of the confidence I entertained of
their patriotism and zeal for the public cause.
" I venture to request of your Excellency the full-
fitment, in my name, of the vow made' by me to de-
dicate this aaion to the glorious San Fernando.
Miy God preserve you many years.
if XAVIER DE CASTANOS."

... of Government."

The following is another Letter from his Excel-
lency' Count DE TILLY :

" Yesterday, the 20th july, Spain, or more pro-
perly, your Highness's army, gained the moit.coul
plete victory the Nation has for many Centuriesbe-
held in these parts. The result has been similar to,
that of Baylen ;,,in one moment the :Andalusiansi:
have been freed from the French arms.

" The division of DUPONT with all its baggage,
its booty, and all its Generals are Prisoners of War;
and the other divisions which occupy his Majesty's
dominions, from the stimmit of the Sierra•to Bay-
len, are to evacuate ° the Peninsula by sea.—
This is the principal point of the Treaty, which
General CASTANOS and myself had the satisfaEtion- to
sign.last night, and as we withdrew from the field
at midnight in want of sleep and rest, I can-
not immediately send your Highness the particulars
of the Capitulation,. or of the. events which have
taken place, but will do itasearly'as possible.
" The most agreeable intelligence will be car=
ried by the Lieutenant-Colonel of the column of
Provincial Grenadiers, .Don PaiDao JEROME, an Of-.
fiver of the greatest merit, and who, by talents and
courage on many.occasions, .and particularly in this
army, has rendered himself worthy of any favour
yollr Highness.may.bestow upon him. $•
"1 havedirealed that the Oath of Allegiance to
our. 'Sovereign King FERDINAND VII. which has
not yet been taken in this Citz, should be adminis-
tered to-day, that Te-Deum should be sung and an

Since writing ti:e foregoug*, we Lave rrce'..e'. to

By letters dated St. Ander°, the ist August, it

appeaii;-11C:at a Nobleman had arrived there who

had escaped from Madrid on the Esth July.
says, that there were not above 12,000 French with

JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, at Madrid that they were
fortifying the Retiero, and that the City was

the most afflicting speaacla possible. Several of
new Ministers had made their escape from Madrid,

and as the Duke DINFANTADO was not there, it wac

hoped that he also bad escaped.
Official advices have.been
,this morning received

from General CASTANEOS'S Camp, up to the 17th

These state, that Gea. CASTANEOS having made
all his preparations, and determined on his plan of
attack, marched to Andujar on the 15th. General
RFDING was to pass the River above Manjibar,

and attack Baylen. 'The Marquis DE COMPIGNY"

was to pass at Villa Nuova, and support Genera!
REDING. Gen.CAsTA.NEos,,with the third division

and Reserve, was to attack the Bridges. in front.

Lieut.-Col. CRUZ was to pass the River at Maur
treolege, and to occupy the Sierra. Col. VALDE
PINos was to occupy the Puerto del Rey.
Ofttlie Ifitly General CASTANOS took his position

and onironaded the French with effea. General

CONIPIGNY beat the French at Villa Nuova, and
killed ,about 200 of them. Lieutenant-Colonel
•-

CRUZ was obliged to retire, by the superior nom-

bers of the Enemy.

General REDING, with about 8000 men, attack-

ed the Enemy, who , had about 5000, completely

beat them, and took two pieces of cannon ; bud

from want of provisions was forced to retire to

On the 17th, after a Council of War, it was de-
termined to order the Marquis DE COMPIGNY to

join General REDING, and it was determined that
Baylen should be attacked with two divisions, and a

feigned attack to be made on Andajar with the

third division and reserve.

By a Letter ;intercepted from General DuPONT to
the Duke Da Roy Ico, it appears that he was in great
distress for provisions, and was in hopes of a rein.
forcement. These particulars naturally led to the
glorious events which followed from the 17th to
the 20th, and which we had the happiness to commu-
nicate to the public yesterday.

Dispatches were this morning received from Sir
'SIDNEY SMITH they do not contain any thing of
importance; 'every thing was perte&ly tranquil in.
the Brazils.

The Corunna Papers to the 2d inst. were. Yester-
day received in town, and we are happy to find, that
although the intelligence from the North of Spain is'
not quite of so brilliant a .nature as that from the.
:South,, it is upon the whole highly satisfaEtory.—
GeWer.al, BLAKE has taken an excellent position with
which is daily increasing in numbers, in
discipline, and in confidence,; and we have not the
smaThat•lOUbtithat he will soon be in a condition to
advance`upen the .Enemy. Marshal BESSIERES has
Made another.aitempt to seduce General BLAKE from
his loyalty to his' Sovereign, and has again met with '•
a firm and dignified refusal. The letter Of Marihal.
BESSIERES is, stated in the. Spanish Papers to have
• been wiitten. on the 28th July; the answero(Ge-
neral BLAKE is dated the same day, of course their
head-quarters could not be at any great distance
from each other. If the dates are corre6lly given in
the Spanish PaperS, they tend to throw a considera..-
ble degree of doubt upon the intelligence which had
previously reached us, of BESSIERES having marched
towards the frontiers of Portugal. The French, it
appears, have been guilty of the most atrocious cru-
elties at Rio. Seco : enraged at the severe .loss which
they had' sustained in the battle of the 14th, they,
with equal. cowardice and cruelty, avenged them-
selves upon the innocent and defenceless inhabitants
of Rio Seco. But the day of retribution is at , hand,
and, in a short time, we trust that the other Pro-
vinces ofSpainlxill be able to repeat the proud boast
of Andalusia—that not a single Frenchman in arnitA
is to be found in them. Another attack' lass
been made upon Saragossa : the assailants did no;
exceed' 306.0. men, and they were repulsed with
