LONDON,
TUESDAY, yEvitu RY 14, 1809',

The Algesiras, a new 74-gun Ship, arrived at
Portsmouth yesterday, .with Don PROIIO CEVALLOSI
the Spanish Minister, on board. He was received
with every mark of reapen.

The intelligetice which sive yesterday received from
Falmouth, is confirmed hy the Following Proclama-
tion, which was issued at Cadiz o►r the 30th ult.:

" The Junta of the Province of Catalonia officially'
makes known, that the army under the command of
the Marquis of LAZON, with the troops of Arragon
and Somatenes, under the command of General
CI:411O, have, by theirnuited effttts, dislodged the
French from their position, and compelled them to'
retreat to Fit ueras and Itosas, :after taking a large
'quantity of provisions, ammunition,, and many pri-
soners. They afierwarth posted themselves SO as to'
deprive the Enemy a '1°1(116g :tiny- conimunication
either with themselves.as dispersed& or with France.
The army of General llepimo was assembled at
Tarragona after its last retreat.. It is now compoied
of a 4,090 men, in which are cOmprized a regiment
of Swiss; lately arrived from Mallorca, and 3000
men from Valencia.

" This intelligence is given to the public by order
or the Supreme Government, dated Cadiz, 30th
January, 1899." . . .

We have this day made some further extraCts from
the Spanish Papers. Wq are happy to learn that
the Marquis de ROMANh has etielfted, his retreat from
Gallicia, and has reached Chaves in Portugal.

An Opposition Paper, Averting to our attempt - to
gain possession of Buenps Ayres, says a we went
to South America in the ciiaraaer of Plunderers,
attcl we were punished for our rapacity. Had we
gone as „Deliverers and- Bencfabiors, the two countries
wouldlong before this time have been. conneeted by
ties 'of the closest intercourse." Nothing can be
more weak, as well as illiberal,- than this passage.—
Whenwe attempted to conquer a part of the Spanish
Settlements in America, we were at war with the Mo-
ther Country,and we had surely a right to endeavour
to obtain what we could from her; on the admitted
• r
principles of warfare. -- But'in fad. we were endea-
vouring to., obtain what, if the views of &JONA..
