the former account, because we .know that PALA-
FOX :made several, very successful sorties. In Cats-
lonia the
,Spanish Troops, though very inferior in
point of numbers to the French, have obtainedseve-
ral advantages, particularly at Figueras, where they
destroyed a French magazine. It will be recollected
that in, one of the last Bulletins 13VONAPARTE stated
that General VICTOR had defeated a Spanish army,
and taken 12,000 Prisoners. It is true that General
Vtcror, did defeat the advanced guard of •the Duke
D'INPANTADO'S army, but it is equally truethat it
did not consist of more than half the number of men i
that he says were made Prisoners. The real loss of
the Spaniards upon that occasion was about 2000
men in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and about
vo pieces of -cannon. There is no foundation for
the report that General CASTANOS had been put to
death by his troops, but he is in confinement, with;
several other suspected officers, at the Convent of St.
Jerome, near Seville; he has applied for a Court Mar-
tial; but under the present circumstances the Junta
do not think it expedient to comply with his request.
It was expected that M. CIVALLOS would -sail from
Cadiz very early this month. • • Lord HOLLAND was
at Seville when the last accounts came away.
We have Teo6Ved some Spanish Papers, from
which we have made sortie interesting extraels.

Some more Dutch and German Papers have bCen
received; they are of the date of the 29th. The
only fact of any great importance whiCh they an-
nounce is, that the EMPEROR Of AUSTRIA. continues
his military preparations upon the largest scale, and
many of the Continental Politicians think that a
War between Austria and France is inevitable.

The account.: from Lisbon, brought by his Ma-
jesty's Ship La Loire on Saturday, are els mere
gratifying nature than we have received for some
time. The temper of the people, strongly mani-
fested in'the Lisbon Journals, is mentioned in terms
of high admiration 'in many private letters. The
mercantile. body appears to be anxious to remove
their property, lest it should again fall in.o the hands
of the common enemy ; but the people in general
ere actuated by thet most patriotic freltngs and reso-
lutions. Unfortunately DO man has yet started for-
ward of ability and weight sufficient to give a suitable
direelion to the national spirit; but such a mail
wia
probably be found, when it is
,seen that he is likely
to be supported by the general sentiments of the
. .
people. The most active preparatinns were making
fur the national
,s4(eky, and the Proclamation issued
by the Regency is well calculated to encoiirage and
3ilituatc the uatiolial energies.

We understand that the gist French Bulletin has
been received : we have not seen it, but we are in•
formed that it status, that " the 42d, 50th, and bed
fit itish Regiments were utterly destroyed in the bat-
tle_ot taw ttith. General Moults was killed charging
tat the head of. his. brigade,. and General BAIRD
woumied :he is reported to have died on the h..
The night after the battle of,the lath, the enemy
entered Corunna in the greiltest consternation and
contusion ; out of 80 pieces of cannon which had
been lan&d,' only one dozen .were're-embarked.—
The Freud' kept pos,elsion, of GO pieces. Inde.
pendently of the immense treasure the English had
taken, a great quantity had hero 'thrown from the
precipices, which had been found by the peasants....
Previously to, and in the battle of Corunna, two
English Generals had been killed, and three wound..
ed ; among the latter General CaAwroan. The
French tOund in the port of Corunna, seven English
ve,sels, three with horses, and font. loaded' with
troops.. They had taken from, th©' English every
thing which constitutes an army..
The English. have gained nothing by the etc
pedilion but the hatred of the Spaniards, and dis-

grace.
General nut:outset, after entering St. Jago,
and taking possession 01 the English magazines, had
proceeded upon Vigo, where ROMANA was with
about 500 men, all whom he could rally. The
division of MEHMET proceeded for Ferrol. - The
• .Vernor of Curunna took the oath of allegiance to
King JOSW.PH, and thel people manifested great joy
ozi being delivered fro:n the English." '
Then tollows the Convention entered into be-
' tween the Mike of DALMATIA and General Don
ANTotzto frAosvaho, Governor of Coranna, dated
the 17th of January, consisting of 13 articles; the
general complexion t.f which is mild and conciliatory
towards the Civil and Military l'oivers; taking the
oath of allegiance to King JOSEPH.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE, Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, AMR-.
WA, and MARY, accompanied ' by Lady THYNNIR,
and Generals CARTWRIGHT and •FITZEOY, rode to
George's Chapel', and heard Divine Service, and
'afterwards rode back to the Palace.
The Princess of WALRS has resided constantly at
Kensington Palace, during,the last fortnight.
The workmen employed in repairing the Duke of

A Gentleman is arrived in town who left Elsi-

reached Elsineur, the day before from Stockholm,
who reported, that the King of Sweden was making
