"CAntZ, Nov. 26.—Intelligence has been receiv-
ed of the defeat and diTersion of the army of La
Mancha, under Aresaga, an army well appointed,
ammounting to 5,000 men, furnished with every
requisite, and which had required five months to col-
lect and discipline, at an enormous expense. Are-
saga on taking the command in his first general
orders informed the army, that now he was their
leader, he would soon put them in possession of
Nladrid, and expel every Frenchman from Spain—
in short, that he would lead them to victory, or never
return with defeat. With these high promiaes he
advanced towards Ocaua, an ,1 thence"to Aranmez.—
.This was exactly the plan the French wished him
to pursue, the toil to which they enticed him, and
of which Lord 'Wellington was well aware, as his
Lordship had in the strongest term; forewarned the
Junta of what would certainly happen.
" The French forces crossing at Toledo took
• Aresaga's army in the rear, completely defeated
one division, at d, dispersed the rest. The rapidity
of their flight you will easily judge of by inspecting
the map, for the Spaniards passed the Guadiana; and
fixed upon Daymiel and another neighbouring town,

SOLAM 21.1:5 DlCiitt FALSVM ALTDILAT ?

L 0 ND 0 N,
sAfunDAY, DEL:EMBER In, 1809.

We communicated yesterday to our readers the
unplea;ant intelligence of the defeat of the Spanish
army of La Mancha, under the command of Gene-
ral ARESAGA. The account was brought by the
Kangaroo, and we are sorry so say that some of
the Letters represent the defeat as amounting to
little less than the total annihilation of the Spanish
army. We are, however, not without strung hopes
that it will ultimately turn out, that the loss of the
Spaniards has not bee❑ so great, nor their defeat so de-
cisive as' was at first supposed. The Letter from Gen.
AR EiAGA, which we subjoin, certainly does not war 7

rant the inference that the Spanish army has been
annihilated, or even totally routed ; but that they
bave su,tained a severe defeat, we fear is beyond a
doubt. We have.repeatedly expressed our wishes
that the Spaniards would avoid general aetions with
the French, and confine themselves to that desultory
mode of warfare, which would destroy the French
army in detail, without affording it any opportunity
for the display of its superior taaics in the field. 'But
though we lament the issue of this battle, it is
tar from exciting in us any thing like ,a feeling of
despndency. The Spaniards appear to us to be re-
covering their ancient energy, and if they do,
twenty such defeats would not subjea them to
the power of their treacherous Invader.
Our hopes that the disaster of the Spaniards has
been magnified are -strengthened by the Portuguese.
rapers which we received this morning, Which'
mention the defeat of the Spanish army, but add,
that it was by no means of a decisive nature.
The following Letters have been received upon the
subjea

4ccounts from Walcheren, dated the 13th inst.
were received this day, stating, that the destruClion
of the batteries, arsenal, &c. &c. had been complete-

ly effeEted. The explosion of the arsenal in parti-
cular, constituted a most splendid speCiacle, and the
enemy had the mortification of beholding it., from
South Berland and Cadsand, without the, least
power of impeding the operation, or of annoying us
in the execution of it.

Two dispatches have just been received from

were taken by the enemy.

It is with the deepest regret that we communi-

DEAL, Dec. 15.—We have experienced another
dreadful gale from the southward : early this morn-
ing we discovered one ship on the Goodwin Sand on
her broadside, two on the' Break, and five on the
Flats, and several in the Downs, with the loss of
anchors and cables, and other damage ; one ship on
the Flats is the Kingston, WARbi% for Jamaica ;
the ship on the Goodwin Sands is. a foreigner, two
men drowned. Three.ships in the Downs have lost
their bowsprits, fore and mainmasts; an American
ship sank in the Downs—crew saved by the Deal
boats. Several ships cut and ran for Ramsgate.

YARMOUTH, DEC. 15.—The gale last night was
heavy indeed ; much damage has, been done here,

and all along the coast.
The Camilla, STRV ENS, and two other collier*,
loadel, are on shore near the South Battery. Tlie
crews were saved by the new invention of captain-
MANB i—the second‘ shot fired threw the line across
one of the ships, by w hich they drew the slide boat
on board, got into her, and were hauled to laud.

The Milbourne is on shore near the Battery, with
the loss of her foremast and bowsprit, crew saved;
the Success, HURTER, is on shore, crew saved.-

FALMOUTH, Dec. 3 3.—Arrived the Princess Char-
lotte packet, in 10 days, from Lisbon.

HERRING FISHERY.

The herring fishery at Yarmouth having been
more produtlive the last season, than ever known at
any former period, the following account of the
Mode in which the said fishery is carried on may
not be unacceptable to our readers. The number
of boats sent to Yarmouth from the Yorkshire coast,
was 40, viz. 15 from Staiths-5 from Runswick.-
5 from Robin Hood's Bay-3 from Scarborough-8
from Filey—and 4 from Flamboroug!,.•

The Funds yesterday experienced "a arise, in con-
sequence of a rumour of the French Governmen
lia.Ong made propOsitions for Peace. We have the
strongest reasons to believe, that there is no founda-
tion whatever for-the-repol't.

It may prove gratifying to the relatives of the
crew of the late Agamemnon man of war; lost in the
Rio de la Plata, to know that they are all well ; and
that the seamen forming the starboard watch are sent
on board the Foudroynnt, and those of the larboard
watch divided between the Bedford and E/Izateilt
men of war on the Brazil station. The commission
and warrant officers have returned to England.
