all Treaties, and secured a very valeiablelictoty.
are happy to find ihat:the Duke Del INOAN.TApo,
I with other Spanish Noblemen, had escaped frotn
Madrid ju,t before the flight Of the Usurper, and
bad joined General 13LAia's Army. Tne Condat
ot. the French in all places haS even exceeded in
atrocity what might naturally have tieen eiLlietied

from them.
Pr! vale Letters state, that the Army under BasstE-
RES is more than 35,006, including 5006 Cavalry.
BESSIERES, however, according to private accounts,
had been cut off by Cvzsri and BLAKE, and had
orll4ed to capitulate but we do not find that thii
report wears an authentic shape. Another report,
by the saute channel, is so important that we hope
ii`will found true, viz. that a bodY of Pules, ei-
ceeding 3000; in the service of France, had revolted
io the cause Of, Spain, and as an earnest of their
sincerity had completely subdued a &vision of the
French. .
The enrollment for the service of the Country
goes on at Madrid with great zeal, and compre-
hends all people froM the age of l 5 to 50 ; and
to the honour of. the Country it appears that they
need no exhortation to make them flock to the
patriotic standard. FEEDittAND the VII. was to be
formally proclaimed King on the 24th inst. at Ma-
drid and Toledo. The Junta of Castile has pro-
posed the formation of a Supreme Junta, to whom
the entire government of the State shall be com-
mitted. The Armies of Arragott and Valencia en,
tered Madrid on the 19th.
CASTANOS is said to hare 90,000 men under his
command, a great portion of whom are regular
troops, and he has at least 8000 cavalry. Attempts
will soon be made to drive the Enemy from Barce-
lona. Upon the whole, the news from Spain alto-
gether is of so cheering a nature, that the temporary
possesion of Bilboa by the French is a slight draw-
back, though the latter seem disposed to make a
stand in that quarter, as the spirit of all Spain seems
to be effeatally roused, and n /ay be expected to pour
like a to rent upoll the Enemy, it he should obsti-
nately remain to encounter the vengeance of an
united people.

An article from Granada, dated the 27th ult.
says--" The .Junta of Malaga has officially an-
" nounced to the Government here, that on the
" 25th a vessel arrived at that port from Ivica, the
" Master of which declares, that on the 14th
" there arrived a Packet giving intelligence of the
if arrival at Aleudia of an English Frigate, which
" had suffered severely in a coThbat which a British
" Squadron had had off Toulon with a French
" Squadron, which had left that port with ePien
if Ships, containing 13,000 troops who were to be
" disembarked on the Bateric Islands, or on the
" coast of Catalonia, which Squadron was beaten
" two vessels had been taken by the English, two
" bad suWi, and the rest were pursued."
We should be happy to have it in our power to
confirm the above intelligence. The Dispatches
from Lord 6)LLINGWOOD came down to the 3oth
ult, and at that time no accounts of any naval action
in the Mediterranean had reached his Lordship. A
Letter, however, has been received from an Officer of
one of our Line of Battle Ships belonging to the
outer squadron cruizing off Cadiz, which is also
dated the 30th July. This letter states, that an ac-
count similar to the above had reached Gibraltar.
It certainly is not improbable that the French should
attempt to send a large force to Minorca or to
Barcelona, in the hope of getting possession of the
Carthaginian Squadron, or of relieving the Gar-
rison of Barcelona ; but if an action had been fought
so long ago, it is singular that no regular account of
it should have reached England.

The Marquis DE LA ROMANA, who, with so
much gallantry and address, extricated his army from
the power of the Tyrant, is a Grandee of Spain. He
js nephew of Don VENTURA CARo, who command.
ed in Biscay last war ; and his property, which is
very large, lies in Valentia and Majorca. He was
intimately connected with the late Lord ivloutsyr
STUART. He is a man of a highly cultivated mind,
and distinguished himself very much in the war in
the Pyrenees. He is about 40 years of age, and full
of vigour. He did not determine on the step he has
taken till within four days of the execution of it.
The dexterity and promptitude with which he con-
cluded the whole business under difficulties of every
,kind, do him infinite honour, and point bite out as a
General of consummate talent,.
