MADRID, SKPT. 30.—The troubles 'of Navarre
have excited .great uneasiness. Government has"
the most -severe. orders, to stifle in its birth
an insurrection, which in the present state' of
things may lead to the most serious consegnenceS.
The Viceroy,Connt'Espelcta-, has, been authoris-
ed tai send all the troops of tbe.line in Navarre
and the adjacent Provinces, against Mina arid his
adherents.' If the insurrection does not extend
into the counties which are separated by. the Ebro
from elistille, the- K ing's . forces acting_ rapidly
upon the point of Navarre, may stop the dis-
orders before the reinedy is too late. The re-
l.ollor roe arrival of Charles.lV. has been re-
newed within these few days.

The of Cadiz is kept in order by the se-
verity and vigilance of the military Chiefs.
The public roads, are unfortunately infested by
blinds of thieves, and tie communications by
couriers are not always sak. The Deputies from
the Chapter of Cadiz, two venerable Ecclesiastics,
were stopped last' week almost at the gates-of
Aladrid, and weie very ill treated. These men
were coining to lay before the King the homage
of their colleagues. ills Majesty received them
with great kindness.

The valme•of the cargo of the frigate the 'Ven-
geance, In ingots, piastres, merchandize, &c. is
estimated at 4,539,275 piastres ; it. belongs prin-
cipally to private individuals:
Letters from -the interior of Spain announce
the return of many of on r. prisoners of- war. 'We
are compelled to acknowledge. that • they were
treated with the 40-catest- kindness' in France.
They are loud in their expressions of Cathode.—
eireeptires the concurrent testimony ok our country-
-ffien 'to reniove the effect produced by the absurd
declomation's of the Editor Of the Alalaya; and of
the preachers Ostolliza .and Martinez; but these
declamations will nye produce: the desired, effect.
The proximity °tithe two Nations, and the lights
which- they mutually

FUELiSHED AT A LATE HOUR LAST NIthIT.

COLONIAL. DEPARTMENT,

Powititu,r-streeti October• 17, 1814,

Cartiri Maedonc,all arrived iearly this morning. with a 'Ns
patch, tclifrcssed to tar] Bathlyst, one of his Majesty's Prin-
eTpal ;,•cretai•ics of State, by Colonel liioolie, of which the

following is a copy

at hoard II: M. S. Tonnant, Chesapeake, Sept. 17.

My-Lonn,—l have the honour to inform your
Lordship, that the division of troops under the
command of Major-Gen. Ross effected a disem-
barkation on the morning of the 12th September,
neat North Point, on the left point of the Pa-
tapsco River, distant from Baltitnore about 13
miles, with the view of pushing a reconnoissance,
inco-operation with the naval forces, to that
town, and acting thereon as the enemy's strength
and positions might be found to dictate.
The approach on thiS side to Baltimore lays
through a small peninsula formed by the Petapsco
and BlaCk River, and generally from.two to three
miles broad, while it narrows in some plices to
less than half a mile.

Three miles from Nola) Point the enemy had
entrenched himself cioite Bows this neck of land,
towards which (the disembarkation having been
completed at an .early ho.ur), the troops advanced.
The enemy was actively employed thecom-
/Action of this work, deepening the ditch, and
'strengthening its front by a low abbattis, both
:which, however,- he precipitately abandoned on
the approach.. of otir skirmishes, leaving in our
hands some few dragoons, being part of his rear-

guard.

About two• miles beyond this, point our.advance
beeame engaged ithe country was here closely
wooded, and the enemy's riflemen were enabled
to conceal themselves. At this moment the gal-
lant General Ross received a ground in his breast,
which proved mortal; He only • survived to re-
commend a young, and irnp+•ovided family to the
protection of his King and country.
Thus fell, at an early age, one of tlee brightest
ornaments of his profession, one who, whether,
at the head of a regiment, a brigade, dr corps, had
alike displayed the talents of command, who was
not less beloved in his private, than enthusiasti-
_call), admired in his-public character, and whose
Only fault„ if it may be djerned so, was an excess
of gallantry, enterprize, and devotion to the ser-

vice.

-11 ever it were permitted to a soldier, to lament
those who fall in !Jame, Ave IhOl' ita
instinct: claim that melancholy privilege. •
Thus it is, that the honour of- addressing your
Lordship, apd the command of this ariny have de-
volved upon We ; duties which, under any other
circumstances, might have been embraced as the
most enviable gifts of fortune ; and here I ven-
ture to solicit throuLth your Lordship his Royal
1-lighness the Prince Regent's consideratron to
the cheumstances of my succeeding, during ope-
rations of so much moment, to an Officer of such
high and established merit.
Our advance continuing to press forward, the
enemy's light troops were pushed to within five
.miles of 'Baltimore, Where a corps of about
.6000
men, , six pieces of artillery, and sonic hundred
.cavalry, were discovered posted under cover of a
wood, drawn up in a•very dense order, and lining
a strong paling, which 'crossed the_ main road
.nearly -at right angles. The creeks and inlets of
the Patapsco and Back Rivers, which approach
each other at this point, will in some measure ac-
count for the contracted nature of the enemy's

position. -
immediately ordered the necessary dispositions
for. a general attack. .The light brigade, under
the command of Major Jones of the 4th, consist-
ing,of the 85th light infantry under Major Gub-
bins, and the light companies of the arniy tinder
Major Pringle of the 21st, covered the vholc of
the front, driving in the enemy's skirmishers with
.great loss on his main body. The 4th regiment
under Major Faunce, by a detour through some
hollow •ways,• gained unperceived a lodgment
~close upon the enemy's left. The remainder of
.the right brigade, under the' command of the Hon.
Lieut.-Colonel Mullinl; consisting of the 44th
regiment under Major Johnson, the marines of
the fleet under Capt. Robbins, and a detachment,
.of seamen under
.Capt. Money of the Trave, form-
cd line along' the enemy's front, while the left
tnigade under: Col. Paterson, consisting of_ the
21st regiment, commanded by Major Whitaker,
the 2d battalion marines by Lieut.-Colonel Mal-
.colm„ and a detachment .of warines by Major
Levis, remained in columns on the road, with
•olders to deploy to his left, and press the enemy's
right, the moment the ground became sufficiently
opt.ti to admit of that movement.

In this order, the signal being given, thewhole
of the troops advanced rajdly to the charge. In
less than 15 minutes, the enemy's force being ut-
telly bro'keri and dispersed, fled in every direc-,
tioil over the country, leaving on the field two
of cannon, Nvith a considerable ntuAber of
wounded, and prisoners.
The cpcii-iy lost in this short but brilliant affair
font 500 to, 600 in killed and wounded, While at
the most moderate computation he is at least one
thousand hors de combat. The sth regiment of
:militia in pa-rticular has been represented as neat-
ly annihilated.
The day being now far advanFd, and the troops
:(as is always tne-cio:c on the first march after
clis-
-embarkation) much fatigued, We halted for the,
on (he ground of which the enemy had been
elisossessed. lierc I.received a communication

from Vice-Admiral tile Hon. Sir A. Cochrane, In-
forming me that the frigates, bomb ships, and
flotilla of the fleet, crotild on the ensuing morn-
ing take their stations as pres,ionsly proposed.
At day-breaki on the 13th, the army. again ad,
Vancec, and at ten o'clock I occupied a favour-
able position eastward of Baltimore, distant
about a mile and to half, and from whence I

could reconnoitre at my leisure the defences of
that town.

Baltimore is completely surrounded by strong
but detached hills, on xi-hie!' the -enemy had con-
structed a chain of pallisaded redoubts, connected
by a small breaSt-work ; 1 have, however, reason
to think that tile defence to the north Ward and
westward of the place, were in a'very-unfinished
state. chinkilpin Hill, which lay in front of our
position,. conipletely -commands the town ; this
was-the strongest' part of the line, and here the
enemy. seemed most- apprehensive of attack.---
These works were defended, according to the best
information which we could obtain, by about
fifteen thousand men, with a large train of
tiiki y.
Judging it perfectly. feasible, thedescrip-
tion of forces ondermy command, I made arrange-
ments for amight attack, Boring which,the supe-
riority of the enemy's
.artillery would not have
been so much felt, and
'Captain Alf Dongall, the
bearer of.these _dispatches, will Tiave the honour
to point out to your Lordship
.those particular
points of the line which 1 bail proposed to act on.
Poring the evening, however, I received a com-
munication from the ComManden-in.C.;hief of the
naval forces, by which I was informed, that in
consetpience of the entrance to the harbour be-
ing closed no by vessek stink for that purpose by
the enemy, a naval co-operation against the town
and camp was founu impracticable.
Under these cbctimitances, and keeping in
view your Lordship's instructions, it wit§ agreed
between the Vice-Admiral and myself, that the
capture of the town would not have been asuf-
ficient -equivalent to the loss which might proba-
bly be sustained in storming the heights.
Having formed this resolution, after compell-
ing the enemy to sink upwards of twenty vessels
in different parts of the harbour, causing the citi-
zens to remove almost the whole of their property
to places of more security inland, obliging the go-
vernment to concentrate all the military force of
the surrounding states, harrassing the militia, and
forcing them to collect front any remote districts,
causing the enemy to burn a valuable rope-walk,
with other public, buildings, in order to clear the
glacis in front of their redoubts, besides having.
beaten and
,routed them in a general action, I re-
tired on the 14th, three miles from the position
which. I had occupied, where I halted during some
hours.

Thl3 tardy movement was partly caused by an
expectation that the enemy might possibly be in-
duced to move out of the entrenchments and fol-
low us, but he profited by the lesson which he had
received on the 12th, and towards the evening I
retired the troops 'about three miles and a half fur-
ther, where I took up my ground for the night.
Ilaving ascertained, at a late hour on the morn-
ing of the 15th, that the eneiny,had no disposi-
tion to quit his entrenchments, linoved down and
re-embarked the -army at North Point, not leav-
ing a man behind, and carrying with me about
two buil-dred prisoners, being- persons of the best
families in the city, and which number might have
been very considerably increased; was not the
.fatigue of the troops an object principally to be
avoided.

I have now to remark to your,Lordship, that
nothing could surpass the zeal, unanimity, and
ardour displayed by every, description of force,
whether naval, military, or Marine, during the
whole of these operations.
I am highly indebted to Vice. Admiral Sir. -A.
Cochrane, Commander-in-Chief of the naval,
forces; for the active assistance and zealous co-
operatton which he wa, ready, upon every occa-
sion, to afford me ; 'a disposition conspicuous in
every branch of the naval service, and which can-
not fail to ensure success to every combined (me-
ration of this armament, • ,
Captain Edward Crofton commanding the bri-
gade of seamen appointed to the small arms, for
the animated and enthusiastic example Which he
held forth to his men, deserves my approba--.
tion ; as do alSo Captains Nourse, Mon'ey, Sulli-,
van, and Ramsay, Royal 'Navy, for the steadiness
nnd good order which they maintained in their sd-
veral directions.-

I feel every obligation to Rear-Admiral Cock-
burn, for the counsel and assistance which he af-
forded me, and from which I derived the most sig-
nal benefit.

To Colonel _Paterson, for the steady manner in
which he brou►ghthis. column into action, 1 give
my best thanks.
The Hon. Lient.-Col. Mullins ''deserved very.
approbation for the excellent order in which he led
that part, of the right brigade under his command,
while charging the-enemy in line.
• Major .Toned, commanding the light brigade,
merits my best acknowledg►nents, for the active
and skilful dispositiOns by which he covered all
the movements of the army.
The distinguished gallantry of Captain De'
Bathe, 95th light infantry, has been particularly
reported to ►ime, and. I beg *to record my own
knowledge of similar conduct on former occa-
sions.

To Alajor Faunce, 4th regiment, for the man-
ner in which he gained and turned the enemy's
left, as well as for the excellent discipline main-
tained in that regiment, every particular praise is.
due.

The exertions of. Major
,Gnbbins, commanding
the 85th light infantry.; and of Major Kenny,
comtnamling the light companies, were highly
commendable.

Captain Mitchell, commanding the royal artil-.
lery ; Captain Carmichael, a meritorious officer
of that corps ;: and Lieut. Lawrence, of the tua-7,
rine artillery, are entitled to my best thanks ; as
is Capt. Blanchard, corm:►anding royal engineers,
for the abilities. he displayed in his particular
branch of the service.

To Lieut. Evans, 3(1 dragoons, acting DeputY-
Qoarter-Master-General to this army, for the
unr,...A)kting zeal, activity, and perfect intelligence
Which he evinced in the discharge of the various
and difficult duties of his dcpArttneut, I feel

warmly indehteil ; And I be; to solicit, tbrriuglt
your Lordship, a promotion suitable to the high
professional merits of this Officer.
Captain M'Dougall, Aid-de•Calnp to the late
General Ross (and who has acted as Assistant
'Adjutant-General in the absence of Major Deb--
bieg through indisposition), is the bearer of these
dispatches, and having been in the -confidence of .
General Ross, as well as in mine, will be .found

Adnziralty-Office, Oct. 17, 1814.

Captain profton, Actitik Captain of his 'lilajesty's ship the
Royal Oak, oreireil this morning at this Office with Dis-
patches from Vice-Admiral the. Honourable Sir Alexander
'Cochrane, K. B. addressed ttiJohn Wilson Cruller, Esq. of
which the following are copies.
His Allqjcsty's Ship Tonatant, Chesapeake, Sept. 17.

request that you will be pleased to in-
form my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
that the approaching equinoctial new moon rep-
-tiering it.unsaie to proceed immediately out of ti ;e
Chesapeake with the combined expedition, to act
upon the plans which had been concerted previous
to the departure of the Iphigenia ; Major-General
Ross and myself resolved to occupy the interme-
diate time t 6 advantage, by making a demonstra-
tion upon the city of Baltimore which might be
couverted into.a real attack, should circunistances
appear to justify it ; and as our arrangements
were soon made, I proceeded up this river, and
anchored off the mouth of. the Patapsco, on the
1 instaut, wherd the frigates and =miler ves—
sds entered at a convenient distance for landing
the troops.

-At an early hour the next morning, the disem-
barkation of the army was effected without oppo-
sition, having attached to it a brigade of six hun-
dred seamen, under Capt. E. Crofton (late of the
Leopard) ; the second battalion of marines, the
marines of the squadron, and the colonial black
Marines. Rear-Admiral Cockburn accompanied
th,e General, to-advise and arrange as might be
deemed necessary for our combined efforfa. •
So soon as_the army moved forward, I hoisted
my flag in the Surprise, mill with the remainder of
the friga)es, bombs, sloops, and the rocket ship,
passed further up the river, to render what co-
operation could be found practicable.
While the bomb vessels were Working uR, in
order that we might open our fire upon the ene-
my's fort at day-break. next morning, an account
was brought to me, that Major-General ROss,
when reconnoitring the enemy, bad 'received a
mortal wound by a musket ball, which closed his
glorious career before he could be brought off to
-the ship.
It is a tribute due to the memory of this gallant
and respected Officer to pause in my relation,
while I lament the loss that his Majesty's service
and the army, ofavhich LIC.WaS one of the brightest
,ornaments, have sustained by his death. The
unanimity, the zeal which he manifested on every
.occasion, while had the honour of serving with
him, gave life and ease to the most arduous un-
dertakings. Too heedless of his personal security
when in the field,. his devotion to the care and
honour of his array, .has caused the termination
of his valuable life. The Major-General has left
a wife and family, for whom I am confident his
grateful -country will provide.
The skirmishes which had deprived the army
of -its brave General Was a prelude to a most de-
cisive
.victory ..over the flower of .the enemy's
troops. Colonel Brook, on whom the command
devolved, having pushed -forward -our force to
within five miles of Baltimore, where the enemy,
about six or seven thousand, had taken up an ad-
vanced position, strengthened by field-pieces, and
where he had disposed himself, apparently with
the intention of making a determined resistance,
fell upon the enemy with such impetuosity, that
he was obliged soon to give way, and fly in every
direction, leaving On the field of battle a consi,
derable number of killed and wounded, and two
pieces of cannon.
For the particulars of this brilliant affair, I beg
leave to refer their Lordships to Rear-Admiral
Cockburu's dispatch, transmitted herewith. •

' At day-break the next morning, the bombs
having taken their stations within shell-range,
supported by the Surprize, with the other frigates
and sloops, opened their fire upon the fort that
protectedl the entrance of.the harbour, and I had
now au opportunity of observing the strength and
the prepacationa or the enemy.
The approach to the town on the, land-side was
defended by commanding heights, upon which
was constructed a chain at redoubts connected by
a breast-Work, with a ditch •in front, au extea7
