TWENTY-EIGHTH BULLETIN.

Valladolid, i an. t 3„

That part -Oflithe. treasure of the enemy ‘vilkh
has fallen into our hands is 1,800,000 francs,—
Tho inhabitants assert.that the English have carried
off' from eight to ten millions.

The English General deeming it impossible that
the French infantrtand artillery should have fol•

lowed him, and gained upon him a certain number

of marches, particuliarly in mountains so difieut as
those of Galicia, thought be could only be pursued
by cavalry and sharpshooters. He took therefore the
position of Castro •on his right, supported by the

river Tombago, which passes by Lugo, and is not

fordable.
The Duke of Dalmatia arrived on the Gth id

presence of the enemy. He employed the 7th and
Bth in reconnoitring the enemy, and colleaing his

infantry and artillery, which were still in the rear,

He formed his plan of attack. . Tim left only of
the enemy was attackable—he mauceuvred on their

left. His dispositions required some movements on
the sth, the Duke being determined to Mock on

the.gth, but the .encruy retreated in the night, and
in the morning our advanced .guard, entered Lugo.
The Enemy left 300.siek in the hospitals, a park' of
li'pieces of cannon; and 300 wilge,ons of ammuni-
tion. We made 700 prisoners.
The town and environs of f.mgo 'aro chottkied
with the bodies of Englimh horses. Renee, up-
wards of 2 ,500 horses have been killed in the re•
treat.

The English are marching to Coronna in great
haste, where they have 400 TralTortS. They have
already lost baggage, ammunition, a Oa even of
their most material, artillery, and upwaris of JOOO,

prisoners.
On the toth our advanced guard was at Betanzos,
a short distance from Corunna.
The• Duke of Eleningen is with his corps near
Lugo. •

In 'reckoning the sick, missed, those who have
been killed by the peasants and madepriseners by
our troops, we may calculate the loss of the Eng 7.
halt nt one third of-their army. They. are reduced
to 18,000 men, and are not yet
,embarked... From
'Sabagnuthey retreated 150 leagues In 'bad weather,
worse roads, -through .mountains; and days closely
pursued at the point of the sword.
It is difficult to conceive the filly of their plan of
campaign, It must be attributed, not to the General
who commands, ,and who is a clever and skilful
man, but to that spirit of hatred and rage which ani.
mates the English Ministry. To push forward in
this manner 3.0,000 men, exposing them to destruc-
tion, or. to Hight as their only resource, is a concep-
tion which can only be inspired by the spirit Of
passion, or the most extravagant presumption.
Lugo waa pillaged and sacked by the enemy.
We cannot impute these disasters to the English
General it is the usual and inevitable- cited 'of
forced marches and precipitate retreat.
Zamora, whose inhabitants had been animated
by the presence of the English, shut their :gates
against General MANGETET : General DOASRAV
proceeded against it with four battalions—he scaled
the city, took it, and put the mast guilty. to the
sword.

Galicia is the province of Spain which manifests
the best dispdsition, it receives the French as. deli-

revers.
Valladolid has taken the oath to King JOSEPH.

His 'llium:Ty yx expAted hi town In-morrow, to
hold a Court at the Queeniv PalaCe, if not prnientetik,
by t he flooded mate of the roads.

Further particulars respecting the loss of . the
.Dis/alc4 :
Oil Sunday morning, the Dispatch transport,
Captain Barclay, having three officers, 72 men,
and 36 horses on board, all of the 7th Light Dra-
goons, from Corunna, was' driven upon the rocks
rear Coverack, about three leagues N. E. of the
Lizard, and all on board perished, excepting seven
pri4ate dragoons. The three unfortunate Offeera,
Who had survived a disastrous campaign, to perish
on the Englih shore were Major Cavendish, Capt.
lauckenfield,- and Lieutenant. Waldegrave. Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Vivian and Captain Treweek had
also embarked on board this transport at Corot:lna,
but had afterwards been invited on board the Bar-
teur,' by theinfriend, Captain Linzee, of that ship,
and were thus preserved to' their count ry and friends.
These Gentlemen had landed 'at Plymouth, '
nd
reached Truro together, the night betnre the nee Of
the shipwreck was received here. Mr. John Vi i4p
(the 'Colobel's brother) and Capt.. Treweek, in»le-
f
diately set off for Coverack, where they found Mr.
Grylls and several other neighbouring Gentlemen,
with a -party. of Capt. Morris's troop of the lliii
Dragoons, under, Serjeant Conner, frum Heiston,
anxiously exerting theinsehes to rescue the lives
and property of the sufferers.- The active assistance
afforded by Lieut. Peck of the oeighhourin& sig-
.ual station, did that Gentleman great honour. The
scene was truly shocking, About fifty dead bodies
or per brave defenders lay scattered on the shore,
mon which watrecognised that. 'of Major Coven-. dish, which was • Jaonveyed 'to lielston: The seven:,
survivors were also conveyed to Helston, and
thence
in a light cart to Truro (except one, who was too
much bruised to travel). The poor fellows were
kindly received and entertained at the house of the
Colonel's father, and lodged in Truro Barracks..-.-,
'About fifty coffins were sent Iron.* Heston.. to re- calve the .dead bodies, which were ail decently in=
tarred in St. lieverue burying-ground.
The effe& of thO storm during the whole of y - .
off y -
terday was severely telt through the metropolis,—
Several houses in Portman-square have, sustained
considerable damage. The Portuguese Ambassador's
house, in South Audley-street, had the skyliiht
broken by the falling in of .the weathercock. the
Earl of Essex's house, in klill-street, has also been damaged. The Passengers in the streets were iti
danger, froth the chimney-pots and tiles, which fell
in great quantities. :
On the night of yesterday seinnight, the ,Theatre,
at Hull, wis.rebbed by some villaiui who appear to
have been accreted and, left in it after the performance
was finished and the company had withdrawn. The
Treasurer, Mr. Firth's closet, upon 'the floor of he
. shilling gallery, and that in the Lobby, where tieltts
are received, were both broken open, but the rtl;-.
bets were disappointed in riot fiuding any mon yii
and revenged themselves by throWitig the tickets
about thefleor. In the. Ladies' Dressing-room, the
boxes of Mrs. Wrench, • Mrs. 'Knight, aad Miss
Decamp were broken open, and the former ' was,
robbed Of a variety of jewellery and ornaments to a:
conside'rable,atnount. The boxes of the other two
Ladies were ransacked, but the robbers not finding
any thing there to so, their perposes, bad left the
witc4lu of their clothei, ,dresses, tire. 4trowuci about
the rooms, Money or jewellery. appears' to have
been their. sole .objed.

versary of ROBERT BURNS, the Scottish Bard's bit th -
day, a number of Caledonian Gentletnen met at the

eaea• After. an .excellent supper, a celebrated
ilighland Piperi who was engaged for the occatiun,
gave several of their national airs, which were highly
aPPIOded. Young BURNS, son of the late celebrated
Bard, likewise accompanied with his flute several
plaintive Scotch airs, to which his lather's poetry is
adapted, in a highly tender and expressive manner.
„Between each piece of music appropriate toasts and
Sentiments were given i and after an evening spent
in the utmost conviviality and harmony, the corn-
Piny departed, highly gratified at having met on such
all honuurable occasion.
