SPAIN.

SEVILLE',QCT..S.--s-It could scarcely have been
expeaed that, a time so long could have.pass d here
without something more interesting- then has taken,
Place. Since
.the retirement of the Britislearmy to
the frontiers of -Portugal, eery thine h talen
fe6tly torpid. The Junta of Valencia has.lately pubs'
fished an address to the. Superior Government ,which,
if tolloWed up by the measures whiclt it announces,
.must bring the latter :to its termination, and rimq
establish a popular repiestation, and art egecotite
,power, in one or few hands. One of he Members
of the Junta of Valencia, who signs this address, is
Jose Caro, a brother of R./mane. Atwitter brother
is the Captain General of the Province, and this late •
ter ha& been superseded by a nephew of the
Presideht. of the Superior Jantae'Valdes ; that is,
l,`the latter has been naMed ; bin it is believed that-•
he will not be received at Valencia, in which ca;;e
crisis is at kand, and the evens" is, thereldre,
peaed with much. anxiety. The British army
mains totaiVitiaalive, and I appreheed the Martini .•
Wellesley is completely sick of hi-s Embassy. Mr.
Frere is 'still here; it is :confidently said, the Junta
has given -him some Otte, but the Gazette has not
yet announced it. His stay for so long .a. time is
,matter of surprise. The' Donegal is- yet westing- at
Cadiz. The Assembly of the Cartes is still deleved-
but that circumstance is not of ;midi consequence;
the people de not look to the Co:tes for the esta-
blishment of a free Governtr..mt. The Junta hal
declared,
.by a decree, that the Assembly will have
nothing to do but to 'deliberate oh the matters to be
proposed to it. The movement of the Spanish
armies, announced some titre ago, has fumed out
to be of little consequence. The French are yet at
Toledo, 'and the head-quarters of Eguia at Daymiel.
There is no concord between the Commandees.--:-
Lord Dillon's eldest son arrived here a few days ago,
with intention to' the Spanish artnies; he will -•
probably have a command, after a time, as he is a .
Colonel in the British army, of some standing, and
has the 101st regiment.
Notwithstanding Iris resignation; Garay still con-
tinues Prime Minister. The age of Jovellanoshai
made him timid; he has in fad betrayed such symp-
toms as make him no longer looked to as the means
of freedom. Infantado is considered by some as the
chief of a party, but the aristocracy of that party is
not esteemed. There is no doubt-that a British army
might be subsisted by contract in Spain, if the Bri-
tish Government was responsible
.at a fair price, 9d.,
per peurid for beet at the utmost, perhapa 7id: arid
on other things? in proportion'; wine at a very low
rate in the midland provinces: so that, thOsK who
are enthusiastic wonder at its retirement, as it,ap-
pears to them that. the English make a, difficulty in a
matter Merely pecuniary. Of the IVA speak with
certainty:after the bestinferrnation and investigation,
that contracts might be made, feethe completion of
which the most certain security would be given.—
The Spanish armies are certainly Concentratiegt;
time must skew to what purpose. _
SEVILLE, Oct. 6.—The, invincible Gerona -.still
continues to, forth the bialWark Of Cataloniß, and the
glory ISPain. Blake observes the -French :TtriTiy;
whose wants must be very great in consequence of
the brilliant apionat Bascara, and the interception
of the large convoy which they expetl;:tede The
head-quarters of the army of Le Mancha 'tire et
Daybaial e all the divisions svhich had.advenced have
fallen•back,io,order to extend the line. The [...Tech
Of Gen. Eguia to La.Maucha,and the movements.of
the united army, have obliged the French to con!:
Centrate. themselves at Toledo.; and-ital pears that
they have abandoned the design of invading- •the
distrial of .Moliea, the.patriots of which plai:e
rabs them much ; it is prehable that they.will de-
tach troops from the side, of Almai'ez, -AO supply,
by forced marches; their inferiority of numbers.
Towards Puente de Arzobispo; nothing new .has Cc,
curred excepting some slight skirmishes, .inev,itich
our troops almost always have the advantage.' Tee
headequarters Of . Our army of Estramiklura are at
Deleitosa; the movement
.of some 'English troops
towards la Mesa de Ibor is' spoken of. The paSs
into by Astorga is defended by a numerous
• corps of Asturian soldiers ; these troops combining
then movethents with these of the army of Galicia
and of Ciudad Rodrigo, will prevent the French iii
• Old Castle from assisting their army on the Tagus.
Kiug Joseph has set 'out for 'La Grange. It was
known at Madrid only by his not appearing in nuta
lie. Neither the Palace
.Guards nor Officers *of
the Household have been removed.; does he again
wish toad the hero; and to renew the exploitS Of
Talavera ?

OCT. 7.'---General Blake was on the 23d ult. at
Tasa, near Gerona ; his objea.is'to throw succoura
into that in it Bible city. •
y an authentic statement of the French army in
Catalonia.; itappears that 50,000 •French have enter,
ed that Priticifality, of whomi-accordingth the mnit
moderate coinputation, not:more than from .v3;00
to e 5,000 remain.. Two Swiss regiments,lielong
in; to Soult's divion, which is at Placentia; have
mutinied. The Fl'ench, troops that were at ,'Pa:;.
lavera are assembling at,. Toledo, -where they are
,fortifying, or pretending to fortify
These measures, which are ioreaer us-eless on ze
count of the facility Of surrounding that `point, prove
at least the • weakness of their force, and the little
hope they have of being 'able to maintain tbernseke§
in-New Castile.
The insurreelion of Arragen continues wittra*Cii-
vity. Suciiet'S division has upwards of 3060' wounth,
