Hrohi o, August 2, 1808 :—" Lieutenant-Colonel
Arcs°lsr being mortally wounded, cannot have the
honeur to wait on your Majesty with, his Report.--
At•three o'clock' this'rnorniiag, several batteries on
the Island of Kemito, and two on the mainland,
began to fire on the right wing of our gun-boats,
and we expeeted every moment to be_ attacked by
the enemy, but which did not take place till half- .
past two O'Clock, when'4o of the enemy's gun-buts
bore down upon. us; and we having only twelve,
gun=boats, . and the enemy having; after a severe
confliet, forced their way through, we .retreated to,
:).lbe mouth of Sande river, where I had placed the
,iolleys'on the riglit,and nine gun-boats on the left
side, and the attack was renewed, and lasted till 12
pn'elock.. However, the wind shifting more and
more to S. S. E. and as we were lying in the open
sea, .and expeEted every moment to fie attacked in
the rear by the enemy's gun-boats and sloOps frau"
Abo, I ordered a retreat to be made; and at one
o'clock we dropped anchor off Holmo, without hav-
ing lost any vessel. Ten of our Officers, and eighty
men, were wounded, and 40 men were killed."
Extra& of a Letter, dated Wasa, July t 1, 1808 :
" On the 25th of June the Russian General M. IJE-
MIDOTT gave up the town of Wasa to be plundervi,
The soldiers immediately set to work, and from the
house of the first Magistrate to that of the lowest '
inhabitant, all were plundered. On approaching a
house, a whole company of soldiers fired their guns
in at the windows, whereupon they entered the
house, and with fixed bayonets attacked the inlia.,
bitants. The General had allowed the soldiers to
plunder for two hours , • but they, nevertheless, con-
tinned their barbarous conduct from the t sth till the
29th of June, the day they left this place ; during
which time the Russian Governor ELAINE, General
DEMIDOFF, and several Officers, were riding On
-lifatiebac.k in the streets, and crying, Dobbra, hg-
!rtiaio!' (well done ! charmingly done !) The nt,'
'hippy inhabitants fell on their knees, and implored
Mercy, but' the RUSsians stabbed them with their
bayonets. Baron RCL'TERHOLM, the President of
the Supreme.. Court at Wasa, and the Honourable
M. WANfstao, Lord Lieutenant of the Provincs,--
were both attacked in their houses, and on the poiot
of being killed, had not their wives interceded. 11"
deed the Russians went so far, that after having
taken money, plate, &c. and destroyed every thing
in the house, they tore from Baron IttIiTERHOI.I4
the very Order, or Star, from his coat. Every
wes visited by these inhuman beings ; many
houses were burned down to the ground, and eleven
men and two women killed. When the Russiarot
left Wasa, they took several of the Burghers -v,4t11
them, and, in the most cruel manner, forced than'
to run backwards and forwards between two•
line
of soldiers, where they were beaten almost to
death."

WE stop the Press to state, that Government have

received accounts, this morning, from Corunna,

which mention that the French troops which were

in Segovia and Valladolid have evacuated those

Places, and fallen back upon Burgos, where they

are encle.ivouring to concentrate their Forces. There

is no further news from Bilcay.

We have received Spanish Pilpers to the igth inst.

CADIZ, Jui.-r 22.—Ti)e Spaniards who were pri-

soners in England, have arrived to fight against the

enemies of the peace of the world.

Letters from London state, that the most cordial

reception was given in that Capital to the Deputies

from Asturias, Galicia, and Leon. The first night

they went to the Opera the applause of the audience,

on their entrance, tasted a considerable time.

VALENCIA, JULY 22.—Since the 17th inst. 1200
