culars. are given with so remarkable a coincidence of
fans, that no doubt remains of the event. The
following is one of the letters alluded to :
1' MANZANARES, JU:',l!l !2.—Thc division of Do-
P`)."t, which cousisted of 12,000 men, in its pro-
-gresi to .Sudalusia, wa3attAckedon the sth, betw;:.l

misfortunes. Another corps of 740
Frenchmen came hither, where they were received
blnel y the armed people; and as they were fatigued,
fete) in number, they surrendered themselves up
Prizamns, and were sent into the interior.
" The day before yesterday the two first divisions
were attacked, not having been able to proceed fur-
ther than the bridge of Guadalquivir., which was
broken down. They were there attacked,
and those
who were not killed were made prisoners.
Much

quence, on the gth, the troopti -which were at Ill;►jorca,
and the adjacent Isionds, were 'disembarked at Va-
lencia, and at the same time 1000 muskets, with'a
quantity of ammunition". The. English have Oared
to return with further asgistauce.

" They add further, that the adVanced troops of
-the Valencians were at Albacette, and these with
the MurciantrOops will compose a force of 154,000
men, with a formidable train of artillery. It is
mentioned that MONCEY, whose intentionp it was
to occupy the province of Valencia, has not yen-
lured to quit Mingranella."
MADEM, JUNE 14.--Yesterday proceeded towards-
France. several of the Everries Of MURAT.; and to-
morrow he will hitn‘wlf leave this city, under pre-
tence , that the climate is injurious to his health ;
but the true cause is the total defeat of the array of.
DUPONT,- in Andalusia ; the greater part of the sol-
diers being killed, and the rest having been sent
prisoners to Cit,dad \-Real. After this example,-
Prince MertAT is apprehensive of experiencing the
same fate,- if he should continue in this neighbour-.
hood. • •

BENEVENTO, JUNE 21.--On the igth; arrived
here the army from- Mayorga, considerably aug-
Mented by various divisions from 122• townships,
comprised with this jurisdiction. The Chief :in
command was accommodated in the Episcopal Pa-
lace,•and the Lieut.-Gen. in the house of NAXERA:
We have here the ROyal Carabineers, the body-
.guard, and the Queen's Regiment 'of 'Cavalry, The
whole of the cavalry amounts to Vor 900'men.
The infantry is in number 6,000. All the troops
here are expected to, be embo.lied with
,of
GlMoja.
BRAGANZA, JUNE 1 s.—The Commandant of Bra-
ganza, in a leiter, gives an account to tale Captain-
General of Old Castile of the.movements in his pro-
vince, and of the anxiety of his companions.in arms,
tO make a common cause with, the Spaniard's, and
to throw otf the to id with which they are
.oppressed,
under the Satellites of the Enr:tror of the French.
. It is reported that General JuNtYr, with his whole
Staff, is arrested at Lisbon by Gehcral, CAaaAFFA.
This hite.ligeOCe is not odicial, but merits attention,
and probably will be soon' confirmed.
OPORTO, JUNE B.—By an of Letter we have
received an account of the following circumstances,
which happened Mere on the nth instant :
The Spanish Commander at the head of his troops,
arrested in this City a French,General, with all the
Officers and soldiers undertina. At the saint, time,
the Spanish and 'our own troops commenced their
march, and their prisoners with them. It is said,
that in the possesSion of the French General were
found four millionS of new crusades.

CUM AD 110 DER 160, JUNE I 6.—The French troops
which are in -Almeida 'threaten to ,tince a passage
through this place, atter having been refused per-
mission to proceed by the:Governor. The vigorous
measures which are to ide on that frontier .have
obliged the'French to continue in a state 61 almost
total inaction ; confining their 'operations to the de-
strudion ofa miserable village; and having attacked
with 600 Dragoons two small parties of the pea-
santry, which made such a- spirited resistance,,that
they obliged the Vrenco to retire with Considerable
loss.

it is ciarently reported here, that the, French
troops it, Lisbon have been destroyed by the joint
efforts of the Spaniards and the Englkh who quitted
their Ships, and that General Ju NOT is COlideetrd 'AS
a prisoner on board the BritiSh Fleet. This account
is the more credible, because., for four days past,
ju-rgor was in Altneida, where acconunudations were
prepared for 3000 men, .and it is certaitr that they
have not yet arrit-ed.
P NIPELUNA, .111 NE d.—Yesterthiy,Boo horses, and
faoon French infantry, with, a piquet of cavalry, left
this place. .This divi4ion will .not go beyond Tudeta,
where they will be received by a party well provided
With artillery. All the resources of this kingdom
.are in motion. In Arragon there are 25,090 regular
troops, and 80,000 Peasantry, well armed-ant pro-
vided, attended by 114 ptecesof.artillery.
1-otn Saragossa they write, that the port' of Car.
thagena iA opened to the English, who have un-
-25;000 stand of arms, with ammunition in,
proportion ; and that they have again lefrthe place to
bring over from Majorca 8400 Spanish soldieM'
Valencia is united with, Arragon, and the former
is yet more abLindantly supplied with troops than
thelatter.

Soine persons, on whom we can,rely, have arrived
from France, who assure us, that in the interior
there are no troops, and that the Grand Arwy on
loot does not exceed 104,000 men.
