THE OPERA,--The new Comic .Opera, entitled
I 1? illigialose ilizzari, brought forward at the King's
Theatre, which we had not room to 'notice before,
the production •of Sigunr PUCITTA, whose talents,
as a musician, are'much esteemed on the Continent.
His music in 'this Piece is light, appropriate, and
effitetive. The accompanfments evince the skill. of
a master, and 'do not overpower the aire which is too
often the case. Sigeora PUCITTA, the wife of the
Composer, made her first appearance on this arca-
Jon. She is a pretty little woman, with an expressive
face, and easy and graceful manner 3. Her vOiee is
hardly Powertid enough for this Theatre, but the
tone is sweet, and she sings with neatness and taste.
The audience received her very fayoUrat?ly: NA LDI'9
vocal powers and admirable comic-humour, are great
props to the piece, which went.ofrwith eclat.

TWENTY.NINTa BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF
SPAIN. "

4i Valladolid, Jan. t 6.
" On the iOth of January the head-quarters of
General the Duke of Belltmo were at Araujuez.
w " Here beldarned that the remains of thesarmy,
which had been beaten at Tadela,' were re-united.
in the neighbourhood of Cuenca, atter having been ,
joined by the.new levies froM Granada, 'Valencia,
and Murcia. The King of Spain conceived'the pos-
sibility of drawing out the enemy. With this view,
he ordered all the posts to fall back, which had ad-
vanced to the mountains of Cuenca, beyond Ta-.
ran= and Huete. The Spanish army followed
this Movement. On the itth, it was stationed at
Veles. The Duke of Belluno then took post as Ta-
racon and Fuente d_e Pedroriara. On the 13th, the
division of Villatte marched directly against the.ene-
mY; while the Duke of Belluno, .with the division
of Ruffui, took a circuit by Alcamo.. As soon as
General Vitlatte discovered the Spaniards; he ad-
vanced to the charge, and put to the route* the ene-
my's .12 or 13,000 men, who immediately endea-,
voured to retire by Cara.cosa-on-Alcazar. The 9th
regiment of light infantry, the 9.41 h, and the 96th
of the line, presented to the enemy a wall of bap).-
nets. The Spaniards threw down their arms. .Three
hundred Officers, two Generals, seven Colonels, '
twenty Lieutenant-Colonels, and twelve thousand
Men, were made prisoners. Thirty standards; and
all the artillery, have been taken( One Venegos„
who commanded these troops, has been
The whole of the captured army, with its colours,
escorted by three battalions, to-morrow (the.
17th) make its entrance into Madrid.,
Thlit success does the greatest honour to the
Duke of &Nino, and to the conduct of his troop:
General Villatte manoeuvred with skill, and General
Ruffin distinguished himself : so did Genefal Latour
I Mauburg. The young Secipransi, Chef d'Dscadron,,
of the lit dragoons, threw himself into the inidsti:
of the enemy, displaying singular bralery. He
brought six stand of colours to the Duke of Bel-
limo.

. " The General of Artillery Senarmont conducted
himself as he has always done. When the enemy's
army found its retreat • was cut off, it changed its
direction. General Senarmont then pccUpied dnar- ,
row pass with his ..artillery, and upon,this pass it
was that the enemy directed his course, in order to
find out 'an opening. The artillery bad little escort ;
but the canoniers of the Grand Army had no need 411
it. General Senarmont plaCed his guns in squar..
battalion, and fired with grape-shot. The enemy, s
column again changed its direction, and turned to.
the quarter from whence it came, to lay down its
arms.

" The Duke of Bellona praises M. Chateau, his
first Aide-de-Camp. He recommends.also General
Semele, and Colonels Jaimin, Meunier, Mouton,
officers whose bravery and skill have been tried
in a thousand actions.

' In Gallicia the English still continue to be pur-
sued at the point of, the sword. After having been'
chased from Lugo, three parts of them took the
direction to Corunoa, the fourth tint to Vigo, where
they have transports. ,'[h© Duke of [last-laths has
advanced towards Corunna, and the Duke of Etch-
Ingen to Vigo. I

".GIBRALTAR, JAN. 5.--. TWO transporto, with
arms and ammunition on board, sailed to-day, under
convciy 01 the Gannet, for Valentin and Catalonia,
where
,they are much ,wanted. The utmost enthu-
siasm and, hatred against the French st►ll continues
in all the provinces bordering on, the Mediterranettn;
and they are determined to defend themselves tot h e
bit extremity; whilst they have arms or ammuni-
tion left.

" The French armies,, though numerous, are sus-
taining great loss-es in the daily skirmishes with the
Spaniards,. , That division which had advanced into.
the province of Estramadura; has retteated with the
greatest precipitation to Madrid, and a great number
of stragglers have been cut 01l by the peasantry--
The passed of the Sierra-. Morena are now tomplete
ly fortified, and defended by a body of 15,00 Q men,
under Brigadier-Gen. ABADIA.

The waters have made the most destruelive ravages
at Bath. One whole street was undermined by, the
waters of the AvOn, and suddenly fell, crushing the
greatest part of the inhabitants.. The roots Of
houses were seen floating_ down' the river. - In so&d;
streets of the lower town, the groundifloors weit"
under water; the inhabitants lived up stairs, and
their provi4Ons wereconveyed by the upper windows.
In the midst thesemoq afflicting 'sights, ra cradle
was seen finating down the stream 3 a child was seen
moving in it. Several efforts Were. Made to save the
Child; but tono purpose, till ,a providential , torn of
the eddy brOught the cradle .so near as lobe hooked
from the billiard-table was forced from its
situation, and carried down the stream. This
relaxed for a -while the muscles of sorrow and
anxiety.
