SANTANDER, Aud..zu.—Nrice the glorious bat-
tles near Pamplona, both armies have remained
`fluiet;' ours busily employed in the sieges of St.
Sebastian's and Pamplona, which fortresses, espe-
cially the latter will most, probably. surrender in
a few liar. A large ,Convoy, with troops, was ou
the 17th ofF.Cape Marchichaw. They are to be
landed at Bilboa and Passages.. Sachet, accord-
ing to the last. accounts, was at Barcelona ; the
Allied Army near Tarragona.
MAnnio, Au°. 11.—The last intelligence from
Zaragossa states, that it was. reported in that
city, that the garrison of Daraco had surrendered.
It was also said that Mintl'had proceeded ia the
direction of.Joca, and Duran's division towards
Tarragona.—The .troops besieging the Castle otr
Murviedro, are the Corona, Cuenca., Alcazar, and
Jaen regiments. Up to the first, the'artillery had
not arrived; it may therefore at' present' be con-
sidered more as a blockade than a siege. The
greater part of the troops belonging to the 3tl divi-
siou (tuose already Mentioned excepted), arc
marching to besiege"Tortosa ; and on the Ist Au-
gust General Elio, who is to direct it, was in •
front of Morviedro.
VAIRNIC fA, JEW/ 19.—The day before yeiter-
day the English troops marched for the purpose
of besieging Tortosa. To-morrow the 3d army
set out for Arragon. General Sarstield is besieg-
ing Murviedro, where 1000 of the enemy remain.

survendered to General Duran on• the 22d inst.
lnusr, JULY 30.—0 n the 27th and 28th there,
were it series of battles between Soult and the
Great Lord, in whiCh the enemy were completely
beaten, with the loss of from 5 to 6000 killed, and
an incalculable number of prisoners.
VALENCIA, JULY 27.—They talk, with .fonn-
dation, of considerable losses Which Sueliet has
experienced itt different encounters with the
Spanish troops, With incessantly harass and weaken
bun. It is likewise said that the. French have
evacuated Tarragona,: after having destroyed all
the forts.

agreeable intelligence, that Soult, who 'was with
0;000 men advancing tts succour Pamplona, was, *r
five leagues from that fortress, completely ronteti. '

(.r:Soult, with seven divisions Of infantry, 40
pieces of artillery, and3,ooo cavalry, in all 45,000
men, attacked and took, on the 25th of. July,. the
paShes of Maya and Roncesvalles ; the former with
12,000 men, the latter with 33,000, commanded
by himself in person.. As the vallies of thery-
'renees do not communicate with. each other, ex.,
cept by Pamplona, it was easy for hins„ haYing
collected suelc numbers., to open himself a passage,
aithongh with much loss, as lledrat, in Maya, and
Cole and Murillo, in ROncesvalles, cruised him that
of four. thousand men, At that point lie announced
to hii aimy that he had express orders from the
:Emperor to he in Vittoria on the 31st, after hav-
ing 'raised the blockade of Pantplollll, and in .con-
sequence had attacked Cole and Morillo, and obliged
them, with Geri. Pieton, to retire to the heights of
Muerte, a league from Pamplona. Lord Welling-
ton marched' there on the '26th, and on the 27th,
having miraculously escaped, by only five minutes,
front falling into the enemy's hands, arrived at ten
in the morning on those. heights, where lie was
received ,by the troops with that enthusiasm with
which a victorious General always inspires his sol-
diers. it was fortunate it happened thus, as
otherwise he would have been necessitated tee make
n detour of five hours, during which time it is
eertain'Picton would have.returned' to the other
side of Pamplona; but on his arrival every thing
was retnedied, and although he had only two divi-
sions YiNforillo and Silviera not having then arriv
cif), Mid half of O'DomielVtroops, he determined
upon lighting, and wait for. mote troops, in order,
on the following day, to it d vantageously .defend
the ground. Souk,. who knew 'our weakness; tit-'
tacked that aday, but was completely repulsedwith'
the bayonet; by n gallant charge -of the Portu
gne;e and the Prince's rtgitricat..
