SEVILLE, SEYT: 5. (GAzEi•TE..)-I::,:i'e'y the Pa-
triots, have made pril.oners or the garrison which oc-
cupied the town of I-laro. The kllowiog intercept-

" Mosr EXCELLENT SIR; •

"At seven in the evening yesterday came here
Don Ignario Alonzo, commonly called Cuibillas,
Dit'eaor of the Company of Scouts, of D. Juan Diaz
Poslier,. and also one D: Constantino, a friar of the
monastery of Bernados. de Honora, which has been
surprised, attended by another party under his dr-
ders. Both of these composed at leaSt 200 armed
cavalry, who with their Commanders, proceeded to-
the Convent of St. Augustine, after having posted
centinels at the opening of the streets, and the
passes of the district. Without delay they demanded
the surrender of a.l the French troops in that can-
vent, and in a short time the roof was set on, fire.—
During the whole night succeeding that day and this
day, the anion has continued with great spirit, but
the destruction of the artificial fire and the great
number of Spanish forces has inclined the French Of-
ficer to capitulate, to,surrender the arms, and to de,
liver up the 43 me❑ whom he commanded. The
result is, that a quarter of art hour ago the French,
having surrendered, proceeded as prisoners in the
direction of Naxera and Lagronno: The, French
Commander conduated himself with the greatest va-
lour, for which he is loaded with compliments by
the Spanish Chiefs, and is treated with the resped
• he deserves."

(OFFICIA L)

SEVILLE, SEPT. 4.—Brigadier-General Marquis
of Atalayuelas, Military Commandant of the no-
vince of Cuenca, and part of Castile,. has sent to
the Minister of War the following dispatch: It is
but justice to this Officer to observe, that, from the
instant he received this commission, he has shewn
the greatest zeal in ,fulfilling its duties, undergoing
fatigue with patience, to molest the enemy, and ex-
erting hiMself to give to the Government correct oc;-
couw s of their movements and designs.
" EXCELLENT SIR, .

" I have the, satisfataion to inform your:Excel-
lency, that, agreeably to what I announced to you
on the 18th of this month, informaiion was git en
me by a spy of the coasts at Fuentiduenna and Vil-
lamanque, which were guarded by Go or 70 French
atorie place, and about 40 at the other. On re-
ceiving this account, without` a moment's delay, I
ordered the troops to pass the Lords, to prevent the
enemy"s knowing and frustrating our purpose.—
ditetted rnY party to form themselves into
three divisions, two of them attacked both points at
a time, while the other remained inactive, but ready
to reinforce either that might be repulsed, and to
hinder the retreat of the enemy across the river.—
Thus-prepared, the attack was Made, and I now
receive the particulars from D. Leandro- Antonia
Carcia, dated Beliuchoti, wherein he informs rue,
_that he had defeated the party at Fuentiduenna, and
made the whole prisoners, with one Officer. We
had only two horses wounded, although the enemy
had nine men killed, and three wounded;` and the
buiiness was executed without the assistance of the
troop of D. Joseph Philipe Mangudo.,
" In the same hour, and trout the same place:l
have another communication from D. Alt Octa-
vio, who attacked /30 men at Villa •Maurique, and
made 6 t prisoners._ _ . .

Altogether, the killed, wounded; and prison-
ers, are three Officers, one cadet, and more than
100 men ; and 1 have now fulfilled the design I
formed, at the time of .my retreat from Tarraneon.
" This diipatch you will be so good as to submit
to his Majesty, and also to inform him, that it is
my intention to forward the prisoners to you!' Court.
God preserve you, &c. '

SEVILLE GAZETTE, SEPT. 7.—Dispatch of file
Junta of Placencia, dated the 16th August, from a
Parish of that Distri&

" MOST EXCELLENT SIR,

" On the tith instant I communicated to your
Excellency such occurrences as were known respect-
ing the operations of the enemy. Since then, we
only are informed that' the greater part of his army
remains in Placencia, and that, from thence, numer-
ous parties are detached to plunder, and lay waste
the neighbourhood. From hence we have seen, for
three dayi, a conflagration at Serradilla, where they
have burnt some barns, produce, and fences, with
about 80 houses, among which is a convent of nuns.
They killed a great number of persons, and even the
animals which' fell in their way, leaving the country
in a state of utter ruin. It is also reported that the
following places are burnt with some others ; Pa-
sabon, Arroyo, Molenos El Barrado, Garganla La
011 a, Taxada, ItiolobosAialpartida, and La Oliva.
They register with great care the little encampments
in the defiles and on the mountains, and not cornett
with pillaging every where, they, in their fierce 'bru-
tality, fire upon unoffending persons, and kill every
one that falls into their hands. Like common high-
waymen, they strip even travellers of their property.
Near Serradcllo they tied down and robbed eleven
mule-drivers, whom they atterwards assassinated.—
Such are the exhibitions of valour, and such the hor-
rible effels of the destrtv:tive policy. of the cruel
hero. It seems that the director of these massacres
is his Ithperial Marshal the Duke of Dalmatia, M
whose name we yesterday saw an order which was
sent to the city of Coria by the Commissary La
Noble, in order that on the 14th, 16th,
,and 18th
instant, he should send to Placencia, to the militaiy
magazines, a quantity of provisions and other sup-
plies, which were particularly detailed, and among
which was an arrobe of bark. This.requisition was
made not without the pleasant accompaniment of
the usual threats in case of disobedience. We find
also, yesterday, that the enemy had come to examine
with great attention the Cardinal's bridge, which had
been broken, and sought for timber in the royal
-town of St. Carlos for the purpose of repairing it.
The Junta gave immediate information of these
circumstances to the Generals 'of our army, and di-
retied that scouts should be employed from the
town of Torrojen to watch the movements of the

enemy."

Lord ELDON arrived at Windsor yesterday, and had
au audience of his (1.8.) ESWX.

POLICE.

_ .
Bow.sTa 7.ET.----On Saturday the Hon. Abgdst us
li4rry nod Mr. Cart-r, were brought to the Office;
11,• custody ot.:Anuio:)y, and other officers,, before
Air. GnAIIAM, upon cross-peace warrants.

The Maghtrate heard Mr.•Birry's charge first:.--•
He stated, that on "I hursday evening fl e met Mt•.
Carter, who held up his fist in a menacing wanner,
and threatened to strike him ; but he admitted, 'can-
didly, that he first accosted Mr. Carter, and called him
.:opptob►ious names.
Mr. GRAHAM discharged the warrant, and Own
beard Mr. Carter's charge against Mr. Barry
Carter stated, that a short time since he had a differ-
ence with him ; the consequence was; a certain
French Nobleman caled upon him with a letter
from Mr. Barry, but having made up his mind to
have nothing more to do with Mr. Barry, he did not
open the letter; he therefore did not know the con-
- tents, but suspeCted it contained a challenge ; ,few
days after that, Mr. Cattner, who was walking with
Mr. Barry when he met him on Thursday, called
upon him,- and delivered him a message from Mr.

Barry, which amounted to a challenge, which he
gave a sin►ilar.answer to as the letter, being determined
not .to have any thing more to do with him ; c:n
Thursday evening, when' he met Mr. Barry, in corn
pany with Mr. Catmer, in the neighbourhood of
Portland-place, he addressed _ him by asking, if his
name was not Carter ? Mr. C. replied, he knew it
was very well; Mr. Barry called him a rascal, and
made use of other opprobrious names towards him.
Mr. Carter observed, that if he had not been dis-
abled by a late tall from his horse (his arm being
then' tied up) he would thrash him ; upon which
Mr. Barry took a stick from his friend Mr. Catmer,
and held it up at Mr. Carter, but no blows were
given by-either . party ; Mr. Barry, however, went
and knocked at the door of Mr. Jackson, who re-
sided on the spot, and made use of some very abu-
sive language against Mr. Carter.
Mr. GRAHAM took a view of all the circumstances,
and said he considered Mr. Barry the aggressor, in
❑ot only sending the challenge, but in pursuing Mt.
Carter with violence; he should, therefore; hold
Mr. Barry to bail, himself in 5001. and two sureties
2501. each.

GUILDHALL, SEPT. 30.—Gar readers will recol-
lea, that we some time ago stated the particulars of
an examination of a young woman; named 'Harriet
Jagt;, who had been brought before the Sitting Ma-
gistrate, charged with various ads of imposture,
principally on the feelings of the public, by attempts
to swallow poison, &c. This person it will also be
recollected, represented herself as connected with
some of the first families in the kiugdonn, stating
among other things that she was a natural daughter
of Sir W. Max well, brother to the Duchess of Gor-
don, and that she was intimately connected with the
Marquis of Huntley. On tier last examination the29fh
August last, a certificate was produced signed by the
medical gentlemen employed by the city of London,
stating t hat they had visited he prisoner, and that it was
their •opinion that shei laboured under mental de-
rangement, induced, probably, by an injury which
she had some time befOre sustained in the head.—
In consequence of this certificate, the prison&r was
ordered to be sent to a house for insane persons,
kept by a Mr. Miles, at Hoxton, and it was. re-
terred to the medical men who signed the certifi-
cae, to visit her, to examine into her situation, and
to report their opinion to the sitting Alderman, at
the distanceof a month. In consequence, the follow-
ing report has been made by these gentlemen to Mr.
Alderman Scholey, the sitting Magistrate for the
week, who had also bestowed great attention on the
business in the course of the investigation whiCh had
previously taken place.
" TO GEO. SCHOLEY, ESQ. ALDERMAN.

" Sut—We the. undersigried, to whom it was re-
ferred to make our report concerning Harriet Jago,
a lunatic, having examined her several times, and
made inquiries concerning her situation, are of opi-
nion,..agreeably to . our, report of the 29th August,
that she is a proper person to be taken care of as in-
sane.

Having considered this report, the Worthy Alder-
man has ordered a further and final report to be
blade on the subject, on Tuesday the Loth day of
,Oanber next. _

Two men named Stratton and Turtle, servants to
Mr. Bayne, warehouseman, in Queenhithe, were
brought up for re-examination before Mr. Alderman
SCHOLEY;•charfed with robbing their master. " Of
the guilt of the Prisoners there could belittle doubt,
a quantity of cotton wool having been found on one
of them, and a quantity of bark on the other, at the
time they were apprehended. They had been re-
manded, however, at the request of their-master, to
afford them an opportunity of pointing out the,re-.
ceivers, in which event the worthy Alderman seem-
ed inclined to 'listen to an applic ition made by the
Prisoners to be allowed to volunteer in the marine
ser%ice. Both Prisoners still continuing refractory,
they were fullY committed for trial,.
• Mary Hudson, a well-knoWn charaEter, and who
in the early part of the week escaped from a charge
of felony on account of the non-attendance of the
.Prosecutor, was fully committed for trial, charged
with picking the' pocket of E. Hughes of a silver
watch, on- Friday evening.

HATTON -GA RDE ti .-011 Saturday Ann Martin,
was lolly committed for trial, on a charge of steal-
ing table linen, &c. from her ma,ter, Mr. Homer,
of Ashby-street, Clerkenwell, and pledging
'Another woman was committed at the same time,
for stealing a.great coat.
