LONDON,
THURSDaY, JULY 15, 1813.

By Paris Papets to the llth, we have received
Svc uET's history of the Expedition from Alicant to
Tarragona, and according to his statements, an un-
successful course of enterprizes.npon various points
of the coast.. These statements as contained in
three letters from the Butcher of Tarragona,. to the
French Minister, at War, dated Valencia the
TortoAa the 21st, and Valencia the 25th of June,.
wilt be foUnd' 111 our preceding columns. Our
Readers, who with a proper veneration for, tire
accuracy and truth of Gallic narratives in
,general,
are in this particular instance aWare of the gross
incongruities and contradictioni with which they
abound,, so as to render them totally diffe-
rent from .each other, will be come what
,astonish 7
ed to hear that. the learned anti' virtuous 'con-
ductors of sundry• Well-disposed Morning
pets have reposed .the most implicit reliance
upon this the latest story with' which we have
been favoured from France in contradiction to the
preceding details of the same arlair.--Which of
the two contains 'the greatest proportion of ve-.
racity we are unable; to. detertniU.e ;. and till, we
bear the other side (which has hitherto, we be-
lieve, been thought rather a fair and candid mode
of proceeding); we shall abstain from following
the upright example of our contemporaries in pro-
nouncing judgment upon the ine.rits of the'eti.se.
Whether, therefore, Sir J. MtlitßAY was beat, as
the Perpignan version has it, by a force from
Enreelona, and forced to re-embark in disorder,..
,with the loss 0'4,000; tin -Jime;
whether he remained • to the 20th, and being
frightened, embarked with little or no loss at all,
according to the letters of Field Marshal SUCHET,
we shall willingly leave to the able Commentators
to whom we have just alluded to :resolve,. and to-
morrow, if they think fit, colon-Mulct:de their sa-
pient conclusions to the public..
'fbe .facts stated appear to be these : the expe-
dition to Tarragona, like many of the admirable
movements of Lord IirtLLINGTON iii former cam-
paigns, having obliged the enemy to -relinquish
every other object, and concentrate an his force
on one point for one purpose, Sir Janis :MURRAY
del not deem it 'prudent to:fioi,hi him to disadvan-
tage,„ and the more especially as he possessed the
ready means of transporting his army to Other
. ground, where the odds in every respect woiild
be more in his,favOur, and the effect on the cam:-
paign equally beneficial. The adverse state of the
wi.. 1 enabled SUCIIET, by ftrreed and > harassing
marches, to reach CaStellan the la 'Plana (rather
more than half way from Tarragona to Valencia)
on the same day with the British sgnadron, an
thus save himself from being cut off from oin re'J ing
IliratsPe upon the Xucar, Whither, lie continued
his route, while the Expedition shaped its course to
the southward. Now'really wc,eannot discover the
disastrous nature of this intelligence even upon the
shoving of the enemy. Our brave artily, with spirit
unabated, and strength untouched in any material
degree, is ready to carry. on effective operations
against the foe, either upon the Xucar, or upon
any point of the coast from Alicant to Cape Cer-
vera, where its presence may be deemed most ne-
cessary. On the other hand, how is Sucavr si-
tuated ?---After, a march of the most fatiguing,
painful, and• destructive description, lie has come-
back only to find himself environed with swierioi-
forces,, and plunged deeper, into the cul-de-sac,
from which there is now hardly a shadow of rea-
son to believe beean ever be able to extricate him-
self. In his absence the Spanish lrmies have been
beating up the civarters of IhaiseE, and ("tough
