Enemy, who attacked Generial BL. E'S Army in

their position at that place.

The Battle was obsti-

nately contested for several hours.; but the French

were in the end defeated, with the loss of between

seven and eight thousand men.—The enemy burnt

all their dead and 430 chari•ous, or aggage carts,

each carrying three or sour wounded men, passed by

the village t44;spanosa, only eight leagues

from SantQna.. The loss of the Patriots in this en-

gagernenr was cornpara t:vely trifling..Br:gadierCount

SAN RUMANA, Colonel of the Princeo's Regiment,

is darfztroqy wor-hied; and Dori ANTONIO .DL

ARCOT killed.

Theie are the only' Officers of rank

who have spffrrO.

A few hours prior to this act ion, which ter-

urinated. so glorioosly for the cause of the brave

Spaniards, the gallant Marquis De Rom.l N A had

joined General BLAKL, with a Teinforcement of

15,000 men, which determined' the Paqiots to give

battle to the enemy; the result of which was

as' abcive described. After ihe elageinent, the

s2aniards marched to the Point of Escuda. (a val.-

ley leading. to St." Andero), in order to cut off the
t;; "

etienry's retreat ; French being acquainted

With their inteption. by ,twatis of spiesi Ite.ted their

cOurse, and made a precipitate movement
.towards

Burgos, to reinforce their army before that place.

:" The French army consisted of 25;000: that

of.tJe Spaniaids, including Nlaiquis fIOMANA' di-

amounted, tp 35,000.

Whil&these dyents were taking, place at Rey-

nosa, a division of Spanish troops, wider the c.n-

wand of General GALLUZO, together with the Eng:-

11S11* aid Portugu'eie Army, arrived before Burgos t;
frqm Estremadura, and were attacked by the enemy,-

whom they defeated with great loss.
" Subsequent to these aCtions, a more decisive

battle is stated to have taken place; the particulars
of which we are as yet unacquainted with, any fur-
ther than' it terminated to the total discomfiture of

the enemy.
" At two -o'clock on the morning of the 17th,

an express arrived at Santona from General BLAKE,

announcing the result of this great action fougheon
the two preceding days. The enthusiasm and va-
,
lour displayed by. the Spaniards in this king and Ob-
stinately contested battle, bore down all opposition ;
and our informant (who heard the derails read :at

Santona), adds, that.the French, were literally cut to

pieces.
g‘ General BLAK ei vanguard were on their march

for St. Andero."—(Nymputh l'eregraph.) •

contest.

" PLYMOt7 FM, Nov. 6.—Arrived this ± morning.,
the illediator, of 36 guns, in nine, days from. St.

ttndero, with dispatches. She is said to have

brought very satisfactory accounts of the success of
she Spaniards over the French, in a series of battles

which continued from the sth to the 12th of the

present month, between the armies under Generals

BLAKE and NEY, in which the latter are stated to
have been completely routed, with the loss of 6000

killed and prisoners. General BL aKk's Army con-
sisted of t 8,000, and immediately atter"the aelion of

the iuth, he was j oined by General ROM. NA, with

15,000 men; who immediately pursued the flying

enemy. The brother of General RoMANA is said to

be mortally wounded.

We feel great pleasure in having it in our power
to contradi& the .reports which were circulated re-
spe6ting the defeat of the Swedes. A mail froM
Gottenburgh arrived last night, with the gratifying
intelligence of the Swedes having some very de-
ckled advantages over the Russians, immediately
after the rupture of the Armistice. It appears that
the Russians were so completely defeated, that ther
were compelled to solicit-'n armistice of 24 hours,
for the purpose of burying their dead.

We have been favoured with the following Ex-
tra& of a Letter to a Commercial House of the first
ret)eEtability in town :

" Liverpool, 16111 Nov. !So& Five o'clock.

" We have to acquaint you of the- arrival in our
'River, this afternoon, of a very small American
Schooner, after a passage of SIXTEEN DAys, from
Norfolk, in Virginia ; she has some naval stores
ancta small quantity of cotton, on --board, and brings
Nev York Papers down to the 4th inst. which.,
however, we have not seen. The Mate intOrms

Vet I~ac•e
so frequently had occasion to point out
, the absurd inconsistencies and contradiaions in the
Opposition Writers and Speakers upon the subjeCt
at the ,Portuguese Convention, that the task is al-
most.bearine disgusting. It is really lamentable, at
such an awful crisis as the present, to see the spirit
of .party carried to such a height, that the most in,
consistent and even opposite assertions are, without
hesitation or apology, made ~by the same men, in
the space of a few days; merely to answer some
temporary purpose of Party. In former times, when,
it suited the purposes of a faction to assail the cha-
raCter of:an Officer, ,in order to weaken the -power
:of a Minister, the mode of proceeding was, to raise
a clamour against the Officer upon some parts of .his
conduel, and pertinaciously to persevere, right or
wrong. But the rnodern.Opposition has adopted a
new and'n-itich more efficacious system of taaics,
viz..:perpetnally 'to change the ground of attack,
to censure Ministers and Officers to-day for doing
that which they were censured yesterday for not,
doing ; in short; to indulge io • every species' of as'-
,
sertion and of argument, without caring whether
the latter be inconclusive, or the' former coriir`idic:
tory. The great advantage-. which the Party deriN
from this Mode of, Pi*occeling is, that they :stand
a ohao'ce of. being -tOnietilifei in 'the irglit.-:=11.1.-

-1 bability of a very long and tedious. campaign before
the French could beexpelled, f ihattuerepraaicable ;.
that we had lost the esteem and forfeited the con-
fidence of, the Spanish Nation, by not sending our
army into Spain instead of Portugal. This accusa-
tion and these arguments were daily :repeated for
Weeks together, with surprising, perseverance and
ingenuity. At length it came out, that'Sh' AU. TIIUR
WELLEsLEy•dicI make an offer to 'the Junta of Ga-
licia of landing his, arty in Spain, in the first in-
stance : that the Junta -declined- the pffer, conceiv-
ing it not necessary, and that they recommended,
~
as the most effe.:tual assistance that could be given .
to the Spaniards, the expulsion of the French from
Portugal. - When this state:nent was Made in, the
Court of Inquiry, it produced a sudden change in
the plan of attack. In less than eight and forty •

hours, nay, we should, almost suppose, before the
types were were distributed which contained accusations
,against- Goilernment for not sending our,army to
Spain in the first instance, the very same Paper ac-
cused them for sending it to Spain ; not, indeed, in
so Many words,'but it charged them with indeci4,
sion., because they give Sir A. WF4Esi-tor. a dire
iionary-pow-er to land in Sijain,- provided the Spa-
niards reotiired his assistance. This is a tolerable
Epecimenof the facility with Which the Parfy can

their purpoSe.

Freedom of the Press from a man who has so often

an extraordinary revolution_ in the- mind of a man'

thing like truth. andireas6n, that.they are obliged to
resort to the miserable trick of imputing to Ministers
rivalries and squabbles which have no existence but
