are still unable to communicate to onr Readers
any details respeding the defeat of the
,Spanish
Army, We shall therefore at present avoid entering
into any speculations upon' the subject, and cone
tent ourselves with 'inserting the following article,
which appeared in part of our impression on Satur-
day.

We can assure the Public from author 4, that
-Governeut has rtceived no particulars of the De--
;feat of the Army of CASTANOS. The whole of the
intelligence s,vhic.li is arrived, is contained in a.Ltit-
ter from Sir atvip BAIRD, dated late in the even-
inEg "Ot ihe,f.Tilt ult.. which states, that he had just
received a Dispatch from Sir JOHN Mootig, stating,
that accounts had arrived from Madrid,-of the defeat
and dis'persion of Genc;aICASTANQS'S army. This
intelligence has been fully communicated to the
.Public in the manlier :usual on such occasions. As
to the -ntentions of Generals or his
11(fajery's Ministers, in consequence of this intelli-
gence, it cannot be expe6-ted that they hood be
troue pubic.'' •

We are happy to inform oar Read?r.; that Mr.
Avast has had several interviews .wick the • Grind
Vizirr.at Coustantinnple, And we trust thara. gOod
Itnden,tmading will soon be. restored with the Pone.
