SARAGOSSA, OCT. i's.—The enemy having a con-
;
siderable force at the distance of thirty leagues from
this city, it was easy for him to put those' troops ins
motion. With the same celerity. he Commenced
• .t the siege; with Out leaving it in the power of Oar
General effectually to defend all the pnints of at-
tack, and make -the necessary preparations of
fence in the time which intervened. between the
, period when, by the, glorious defence of the city,
. the, enemy Was compelled to raise the siege; and
. .
the regular enlistment of, its inhabitants; Which
has proceeded with such praise-worthy e6ti
vity and Zeal. His Excellency the Commander
in Chief has, however, reinoved all the obsta-
cles which seemed ;Insurmountable, .and put thiS
city into a most respe6table state of: defence.--
The garrison being. commanded by Don ANToNA.

ST. GRR iEs, Colonel of Engineers, in whom consum-
mate knowledge and long experience are united, with
that OrICOMIIIO2I aeti'ity and zeal which he displayed
during the memorable siegeof this city. A line of de-
fencehas,been formed,which extends from t he coneen t
of the bare-footed TrinitarioS to the bridge of Huersa,
and consists in a brick -cyan, ten feet high, and six-
teen feet thick, ftirnished With the necessary ditch;,
and a fatuous curtain, which runs from the said con-
vent to the Ulpargatoros Office. This line is
extremely well conceived, in order to 'keep the
enemy at a distance from' the Gate del Carmen,
which is one of the points Most frequently attacked ,
by the enemy, and during the siege mast gallantly
defended by Colonel D. PEDRO HERMANDEZ.•••,
The Bridge-head of Hueron is fortified by a kind of
pentagon; with embrasures for eight nuns. Froth
this point the line of defence is stretched to Hueron
salt-works, formed in the same manner as the other
part above-mentioned. The weak points of this ,
part, and especially the ToWer of Pino, by which the
French really forced their way into the town, but.
were afterwards repulsed and put to Hight by Colo- ;
nel D. MARIANO DE RENOVALEi; Who put himself
at the head of the inhabitants of the parish 'of St.
Michael and Magdalen, and attacked and conqetely.
•
routed the French,' who attempted to penetrate
through the street of Caio Sun-gate, on which. oc-
casion MANI* AHRAREZ, a iam,urer, killed, a (.:4e.,

CORGISINA, Oc'r. 31.—A Courier has jut arrived -
from BLAKE'S. army, :Various. and exaggerated, re-
ports are in cirenlation. Some say the French have
been defeated 'with the loss-of 30QG Ten ; others,
that the Courier only brings intelligence of the
French cavalry which threatened Burgos having been
driven back by a division of BLAKE'S army. The

[oss on either side is frilling.

The Troops commenced their march on Friday
morning : to-day others followed, and to-morrow the
remainder of the Guards; and, two otlierregiments,

proceed aftertthem. Some fake the route of.Luga,
others that of Santiago. There is a report that the
French have entered.Burgas; bit it is not believed;

they must previously have beaten BLAKE, of which
we have no account.

Advices from Rio .de In Plata, according to au7
theritic Letters from Buenos Ayres, of the 3d of
June :

The Count DE LINIERS, brother of the present
Iriceroy of Buenos Ayres, escaped from LisbOn, as

by a miracle, and after having made his passage on
board a merchant-vessel, under the Portuguese name
of ENRIQUE JOSEF OOVERNA, and in qualit of the
clerk of the said vessel, arrived at Rio Janeiro, and
there continuing the same secresy, even obtained,
under the same name, a passport to Buenos Ayres.—

The retirement in which he lived caused him to re-
main unknown till the i sth of March last, when

having been seen by several Spaniards, the secret
was divulged, and came to the knowledge of h'S
Royal Highness. The Prince spoke of it to Don
Itornico DE SOUSA COUTINO, his Minister at
War and for FOreign AfFairs. This Miniker, who

had known the. Count for ten yens before, and had

•
always manifested the_ greatest friendship for him
while in Lisbon, avured his Sovereign that he Might

,
serve him with effe& in any political afrair,relative to
the .Spnnish Colonies of the Rio. 'de la Plata. He

was in consequence sought for by the Criminal

Judge, and conducted by that Magistrate to the
house, of the. Minister, who gave him the politest
reception possible, and treated him with the utmost

attention.
