lOURNAL of the OCCUR RENCES at SARAGOSSA,
FROM THE TIME OF THE ENTRANCE OF THE FRENCH

INTO THE KINGDOM OF ARRAGON.

[BY A RESPECTABLB INHABITANT OF SARAGOSSA j
" On the 12th of June, intelligence being re-
ceived that a French army was approaching this city,
under the command of General LEFEBVRE, nephew
to the Impetial Marshal of the same name, a consi
derable body of the armed inhabitants of this King,,
dom and City.marched out to the village of Mabt
len, which-Is ten leagues distant :• here they were
defeated by the French.
" On the 14th, they were a second time defeated
and dispersed at the town of Alagon, about four
leagues from that city.
" On the 15th, the French army made their ap-
pearance, without any obstacle, at the gates of this
city, conceiving that they should immediately get
possession of it ; but notwithstanding its'being an
open place (the mud walls which surround it fur-
nishing but a very slender means of defence), the
enemy were driven back with a very considerable
loss. They retreated to the distance of a- league,
where they formed encampments, and began and
continued their preparations for effe6ting the reduc-
lion of the city.
" On the Ist of July, from Monte Torrero,
which commands the city, and where, having occu-
pied it on the 27th, they planted some howitzers
and mortars, they opened a bombardment upon us,
during which, in the space of hours, they dis-
charged 1400 shells and greilades.
• " On the 2d, goat we were not inclined
to surrender, they made a genera! attack, which
they perskted in with the greatest obstinacy and ar-
dour, but it ended in the loss of an incalculable

Baron JAcOBI Vox KI,OEST, lately Pruss":ahlTutis-
:er at our Court, has at length arrived at Konigs-

burgh. It will be remembered that I.3(.7ONAPATE
would not allow him to return home through France,.

and that a passage was likewise denied him through
Holland, or the Danish States. After, a lapse of
many= months he reached Gottenbuigh, but was or-
dered from thence to Marstrand, as the Swedi4r
Ambassador had not been suffered to remain at Ko-.

number ot the French, without the attainment of a
single advantage on -their side. They sent to Pam-
peanut, tne enemy's general magazine, to procure a
second supply of shells, grenades, with a battering
train, amuittnition, and other military stores ; and
in the mean time there were various An-113141es
with our troops, in which the enemy suffered con-
siderably..
" A large convoy of the above-mentioned articles
having arrived, a line of communication being form-
ed from the Con% ent ot the Capuchins as tar as that
of San Joseph, batteries being erected and mounted
with cannon, they opened their fire on the Ist of
this month, and bombarded the city with much
greater fury than on the Ist of July.
4' On the 2d, they were almost totally inac-

nigsburgh, but had been sent to FilLtu, to wait for

a conveyance home. This venerable s!atesman has
suffered much in his health, from the vexatious dif-
ficulties which he has had to eucounter,,and also
from aLlall.he had on board the :,hip which cairicd
.him to Gottenburgh.
Theioundation for a new Prison was laid on
,thursdayl last at Edinburgh. A grand i\lasf.mic o-
cessithrtook phice on the occasion. An inscription
for this edifice has been proposed that begins in the
following manner, M y Goa prosper Lill. under-
taking,'' which is rather a strange wish, considering
that it is intended for the punishment at Cti/prits

On the 3d, they renewed the bombardment
with such vigour, that they threw in 13 shells or
grenades an hour. They at the same time battered

all the extent opposed to their fire, forming a fouith
part of the whole circumference of the city, and
that our people were compelled to withdraw the
cannon at the gate Del Carmen, and to spike and
abandon those at the gate De Santa Engracia.
" On the 4th, the bombardment and cannonade
were continued with the same vigdur ; and by the
gate De Santa Engracia, and the tower Del Pino,
they succeeded in making their way into the city
with a column of 2000 men, attacking at the same
time 'the gate Del Portillo. They were vigorously
repulsed from this quarter with the loss of more
than 400 men, and the column being broken into
two separate bodies, was attacked and pursued by
the peasants and troops, who made great slaughter
among them. They were thus frustrated in their
object of getting entire possession of the city, hav-
ing only made themselves masters of the Convent
of San Francisco and the general hospital, where
they strengthened themselVes, maintaining' a com-
munication with the rest of their army through
the. gate, the street, and monastery of Santa En-
gracia.
" Such was the situaticn of the enemy up to the
lth of August inclusive. His most vigorous efforts
to penetrate farther were rendered unavailing by the
obstinate opposition which he encountered both from
the houses and the strong batteries at the entrances
of the different streets.
" On the 12th and 13th the bombardment con-.
tinued, but less vigorously than on the preceding
das ; so that it was suspected the enemy were re-
treating.
" In the night of the 13th it was ascertained that
they were aCtually retreating ; and in the morning of
the 14th, the last detachment of the French troops
passed through the suburbs, having previously set on
fire, in vart ,s places, the part of the city which they
had occupied. The convents of St.' Francisco del
Carmen, St. Joseph, Capuchinos y Caprichinas, and
even the Hospital, have been burnt down. The build-
ings of the Terrero, on the Cancel-wharf, were also
set on fire, but the flames were extinguished betore
they made much progress. This was also the case
with many privat. houses.
• " Without reckoning the pillage which they had
pra6tised since the t Ith, in the part of the city in
their hands, the fruits of which they sent off by the
canal, the other acts of violence committed by the
enemy, their murders, even of the sick, their burn-
ings and atrocities of all kinds, are innumerable.
"It is worthy of remark, that during the repeated
bombardments, not one dwelling-house was destroy-
ed, nor did even a single female mention the word
capitulation ; and to such a pitch of enthusiasm were
the inhabitants. in general animated, that they cared
as little about the enemy as if he had been five
leagues off.
" The man who would wish to describe the hor-
rors of war, should make a journey -to Saragossa ;
so should the man who is desirous of giving an ani-
mated picture of what can be achieved by the love: of
country; he should study the chara&er of its
bitants, and make himself acquainted with their suf-
ferings during a siege of two months."

Mrs.JORDA',C, it seems, finally takes leave of the
Richmond Theatre this evening.—Her exertions 4
have for iotrie time been of eisentiA service to that
Theatre, which was by no means in a thriving way
before her engagement.

It is now satred that Mr. SIIERIDAN, jun. is to
assuare the management of 'Drury-lane Theatre, in
the ensuing season, which commences on Satuicky
next. Great improvements have taken place in this
Theatre. There are thirteen new private boxei on
the tier level with the fist gallery. A grand saloon
is to be opened on the side next Brydges-stroet. It
is fitted up in the Chinese costume, and several cam-

partmeots are made tor the sale of trinkets, opera-
glasses, music-books, refreshments, &c. AU this
proru'tsei a vigorous management, and we hope it
will: be.2titended with success.
