in the most inhuman_ manner, not excepting- even
the ideots, and setting foe to the building;they left '
it a perfe& ruin. To see now that part of the city
which they occupied, excites compassion, not only
by its ruins; but by the effluvia of the dead bodies,
without excepting even the celebrated temple of
Santa Engracia, held so sacred on account of the I.oly
martyrs who have been buried there.
VA LLAnoLto, SEPT. 28.—Within the last three
days '4400 men, voltinteers enrolled in the kingdom
of LeOn, have entered this city, and more are inces-
santly arriving. The zeal and patriotism of this
city has risen to the highest pitch. `The inhabitants
provide a sufficient quantity of provisions at their
own txpence for the use of the courageous Soldier's,
and tiSlig water to Cook their -victuals with, So that
they may have no trouble in finding or dressing their •
food. This is conducted under the inspection of the
respectable tradesmen Manzana and Red, who also
provide the men with comfortable bedding. The peo-
ple of Valladolid, not withstanding the miserable state
to which they have been reduced by a residence of
months of the French troops, and their sub- '
sequent suffering, still breathe a spirit of patriotism.

Head-Quarters of Villafraca, Sept. 29.

Two Couriers have arrived with intelligence, one
from the Marshal of the Camp, the Count of CAL-
DAGUES, and the other from the Colonel FRAN..
CISCO MILANS. They bear the following Dis-
patches :
a MOST EXCELLENT SIR,

" In the official intelligence which I forwarded
to you by post, I announced that the enemy were
fortifying themselves at S. Pedro Marter. Notwith-
standing the rain, their works were uninterrupted ;
a certain proof of the alarm excited by the false at-
tack made on them; at the same time they have not.,
been able to recover the panic and misfortune which
they experienced last night. God has sent among
them a thunderbolt, which, according to the infor-
mation I have, just received, entered the Hermitage,
set fire to some powder, and exploded the roof. I
can perceive the mischief with my glass; and the
accounts I have received state, that the enemy have.
had many men- killed a 94 wounded. ' May God
keep yoU many years.

" To the Marquis of Palacio."

Yesterday, at six in the_ morning, I was attacked
at five different points, by a force consisting of 2500
foot, 200 cavalry, and six pieces of cannon. The '
enemy found himself obliged to fly as quick as he
could, to take refuge under the prbteetion of his
artillery and cavalry, in the middle of Rio Besos,
Which they were forced to abandon, on account of
the quick fire of musquetry kept up by my courage-
ous troops, who despised the fire from the artillery.
I have found, at this moment, in the 'vineyards, 47
dead, and many. wounded : the number I cannot at
present ascertain. I cannot avoid recommending to
your Excellency the Captains and Subalterns who
distinguished themselves on this occasion; parti-
cularly Captain D. SEGISMUNDO PARES, of the
regiment of Manresa, who rushed upon the
enemy sword in hand, compelling them to' fire as
they were flying in the greatest disorder from the re-
giment of Granollers. The Captains Don JUAN BAR-
BER and Don FRANCISCO PLUGFERT, the Lieuttnsnt
Don JOAQUIN MUREU, from the regiment of Vich,
Captains FRANCISCO PLANDO, Don PEDRO MU NT,
Don JUAN Pusol., and the . Lieutenant D. SEGIS-
MUNDO BRET, who on account of his Captain being
sick, caMmanded the company, in short, all the
Officers performed their duty.—May Goo grant
you many years.

We are happy to hear that trade is remarkably
brisk-at Glasgow.
A few days since the inhabitants and passengers
in Bartholomew Close, Smithfield, were much amus-
ed by an extraordinary occurrence: Two cocks fight-
ing in the square, being discovered by a small pig,
he instantly ran and parted the combatants, by inter-
posing his body between them. •The cocks made se-
veral attempts to renew the battle, but were each
time prevented by, the kind mediation of the little
grunter. It appears the pig and one of the cocks
belonged to the same owner ; that they lodged in the
same yard, and that by this remarkable interference
of the pig, he had cherished a friendly instinct for
the fowl.

The Edgar Transport (No. t 31) s Capt. BROWN;
which arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday from Lis-
bon has on board part of die booty which JUNOT
had packed up and dispatched for France. It con-
sists of 71 cases and trunks of indigo, and 148 bales
of cotton, taken from the 11b)rth Star Danish Mer-
chantman, Mary Ann and Apollo Transports, all
which will be secured until further adjudi"Catian.—
When the Edgar sailed from Lisbon, fourteen days
ago, there were lying in the Tagus, four Sail of
the Line (British), the Lively Frigate, and upwards
of 100 sail of the finest copper-bottomed Transports,
on board of which a division of the British army
was expelled to embark for the Mediterranean.—
About 5000 Spanish troops had sailed f>r Cartha-
gena, from Lisbon, under the escort of two British
men of war. Ail the French troops except about
800, had sailed from Lisbon for France the latter
were put back by a gale.
