VALEN'Tx.k, MAY 10.—An account of the Mili-
tary events have, taken place since the Ist
of April has been published here officially. The
following is a faithful "summary

On the 7th
.of April, the General of Division
EVEROLI left Treinpe to incline upon the Pobla,
th the GOth regiment,the Ist of the line; and-the
7th regiment of the ltaliark line, intending to attack
the Baron D'EaoLEs, Who had entrenched
Alter having. broken down the bridge of the
11\r°guera, General SEvE-aoii forced the almost
i'lnPregnable. position, drove him from the town
With considerable loss, • and: pursued him several
ten,'
,r,nes among the mountains..

On the 21st of the gam^ month, the corps of
- the enemy -under General•SmisnELD, consisting
c'f 3000 infantry and 300 -bpi-se, proceeded from
I`)rre cle Embarra to Constanti, and formed a
"inimmication with -2000 men of the bands of
GAY and MORALLES, had been 'at Roes from
the 1.)
General LACY arrived to direct in per-
eon the projected attack upon-: Tarragona.; and
the English, who had proposed to land the artil-
y at Torre de Embarra, not having been, able to
err the landing at that point, inclined upon -
Vitlanova de Setges to execute it.
The fortress of Tarragona had been lately pro-
lis:
'°ned and the garrison reviewed. • The brave
tor,eral ,•
nrantoLETTE, its Governor, soon coil-,
v
iticed the en.._ of the 'temerity 'of his enter-
larize. In the night, bet Ween the 21st and 22d,
t~ls General detached. from the place 150 men,
14"1er the cornmaud of the Chief of Battalion
eLI, of the Ist regiment of Italian light infan-
tl.s7, and the company of Spanish dens d'armes, of
SitimerE. This.troop surprised the first posts
of tilt enemy, killed 10 men, and returned into
the place without loss. The Spaniards, wishing
tO
enge this defeat, attempted, in'the morning
bc'fthe 22d, to make themselves masters of the
head of Francoli, before which they pre-
red themselves with a column of three bun-
j'=d infantry, supported by fifty. cuirassiers.—
dz-el, 'tenant who commanded• this post,
„'eudcd himself with the. greatest bravery, and
time , to the Chief of Battalion, .11.1uLLER-,
7 come to his aid with a detachment, which as-
Zed him to repulse the enemy. The 'latter re-
ed in disorder upoix Canouge, whither he was
'4.41...-tied with vigour: Thd Governor, wt.° had

come out with•some companies of chosen troops;
profited by thit; moveinent to place the VoltigeurS
upon Monte-Olivo, With crders to -reniaiii non-
ccaled in case the army shOuld be bold enough to
attempt tb Cut off the retreat of our troop!,;. In
fact, another column of the enemy, of 700 men.
and 150.euirassiers, advanced almost at the -sante
instant towards the bridge, by the road of Con-
.
stanti. The. VOltigeurs posted on Monte OH-
vo resisted with vigour all the attacks of
the infantry.- Our troops retired upon the
place with the greatest. order, endeavouring
to draw the enemy under the cannon of the-works,
the well-directed fire of which occasioned him con-
siderable loss, obliging him to retire in disorder,
leaving more than 30 killed on the spot, and car—
tying- away more than 100 wounded. On our.
part We had only four men killed, among whom
was•the brave Lieut. COLLA, and. 22 wounded.
General RERTHOLETTE, whose; activity and
good disposition; merit the highest eulogium, was
struck by a spent ball, and had his horse killed
under him All the Officers and soldiers display-
ed their.accustomed valour. •

Gen. in Chief DEC Ai ti, informed of what pass-
ed under the walls of Tarragona, Marched on the
27th upon Villafranca, with a part of his army.
His arrival on this point was sufficient to, induce
LACY to take to flight, who, in disorder retired
into the mountains: • ,
On the 25th General HARISiE marched with the
Ist brigade of cavalry and companies , &elite of
the 2d division, to the foot of the walls of Ali.-
cant, by.passing -through Xexona, whilst, by his
order, General Outnix- marched in the same di-
rection, by Mucha Mul, with ten companies of the
16th and 17th regiments. This latter arrived at
ten in the morning, after having resisted, for four
hours, the efforts of all the garrison, . who, in
number ,1;00 men, endeavoured to exterminate
them, whilst the 'guerillas and s °me armed peasants
manoeuvred to cut off his retceat.

He had fourteen men wounded, and four killed,
and had done much_ injury. to the enemy, when
General DtTORT appeared, with his• cavalry,
threatening to seize the only road by which the
garrison could retire into the fortress ; this forced
the enemy to precipitately retire within their
walls., from whence they have not thought fit again
to come out, although our troop's have- xlestroved
all the advanced posts, and tranquilly forage within
cannon-shot of the place. •
The. following day all the columns entered their
cantonments. General UARISPE has pursued- se-
veral bands, which were armed, from the side of
Aoveleda. His columns have destroyed a hun-
dred brigands.
During the march of the troops upon Alicant,
some fanatics excited the inllitants of Bene-
gamen and its neighboUrhood, to take up arms,
and endeavour, to the number of 800 men; to
surprise, during the night of the 27th, the post of
Adzaneta, composed of a company of the 44th
regiment, and a detachment dragoons, and
some Hussars.

Day began to break, and- the troops having
had time to form, attacked the enemy with the
bayonet, and caused a terrible carnage ; -one Jinn-7
died and ten men remained dead. upon the field
of battle; and among them, the person called
CORTES,: the. Chief of the insurrection, and a
number of monks ; we had but one man killed,
and four wounded.
Whilst the army of Arragonlhus maintained its
reputation at the gates of Tarragona and Alicant,
it!gaye at the same time -a tuemorable lesson, on
the left baulks of the Ebro, to the chief of a band,
311-NA;.famous for his robberie3 and cruelties, and
still quite proud at having, on the 19th of, April,
taken a baggage convoy feorn the 60th regiment,
-between Pena and Busarolas. -General PAUN-
NETRERhaving learned at fluesca, that MINA
was to pass the night at Robus, with -all his
cavalry and booty., .set- out with the 10th
light infantry regiment, and a squadron of bus=
sars, commanded by the Chief of Battalion„Du=
BALIN, and the Chief of Squadron, LENoIR. This.
General took his measures so well, that he arrived

before day-break at the village, which lie sur-
rounded, without the enemy's • perceiving
Lieutenant.Son.abEs galloped through the town,
sabring all fie met with in the streets, and
spreading terror and dismay through the brigands.
MINA and MALCAIIADO sus Tsized, saved themselves
in their shirts, over the roofs of house's,; those al-
so who were in detached houses, succeeded .
escaping., aided by the darkness, but the greater
part of "the troop inclosed in the town, was taken
or killed. Some saved themselves naked; and
wounded by our bayonets. More than 80-fell in
our poWer, and 60, at least, remained dead in the
town. •

Tile result of this brilliant operation; has been

the capfure of 150 very excellent horses 5. 300
Cavalry saddles, 350
.rirtnianteaus, 350 cloaks,
200 combines, 250 sabres, 150 lances, 6. great

his nephew,' two • confidential officers:, and
'his almoner,
,who 'was at .the same time his
secretary, his 'iu64.rnate counsellor and his con-
fessor; fell at the same tilde into our bands ; but
the most vAluaille part of this victory was the de-
livexance of prigoners of the 60th regiment, of a
great number' of soldiers appertaining to different
corps, a courier,- and officers of health of the di-
vision:

• LEIPSIC, JUNE, I.—According to authentic.i.n-
telligence, the IMperial Austrian Court has asH
sembled three tarps d'armees, in the -eastern fron-
tiers of the monarchy, each coanposcd of 30,000
men ; . two of them are in Gailicia, and the third
in Transylvania:
Extract of a letter from Dantzlc, dated May 16 :
All accounts received from Poland paint in the,
most' deplorable colours, the general misery; as
provisions become more and more scarce for both
armies, and the continual requisitions Made for
them have deprived the inhabitants'of their last
morsel' of bread. The War has mit yet cohiniend,
although the armies, as it may be truly's'aid,h:Oc
to combat with fathine. 'Forage is still more
scarce than provisions, and hay is not be had.
The horses are fed on rye, meal, and straw; Which-
has been used for thatch : they die in _great num-
bers: A -Polish Officer, :Who has lately.; arriva-
from "Warsaw, assures us, that in the
,country
through which
.he passed; all the houses were
without thatching, and that it is impossible to
foitin any idea of the`mi‘sery of the poor inhabi-
tants. In many houseS large holes were dm in
the'ground for the children's protection, against
bad weather, and to pass the nights."
A traveller; who left Frankfort on the' Oder
twelve day ago, states; that the public 'Toads
'were every where covered with dead-hors-in, and
that a great number • (if-the inhabitants had' left,
their homes, to • avoid the illAreatmeht they
rz-
ceived from the foreign troops, the latter having',
previbusly robbed. them of all the, little provision
they had yet left. •

FURTHER EXTRACTS.

GOTTENEURGM JUNE O.—Letters from Carl-
sham say, that the P :issiarf -and French "soldiers
are, continually quarrelling. An affray lately took
place at Pillau, where the' Commandant, who is
a-Prussian, arrested several of the French officers.
.---Prince ECK MUHL, and another Reuel' General
are sent to investigate the business.—lt is also said
that the Prussian soldiers have. declared their in-
tention to desert the first opportunity on account
of bad treatment and scarcity of provisions.
—The ill. usuage they have experienced from Gen.
REGNIER has caused a duel between him and the
Prussian -General L'EsToQ, in which the former
was shot clad.

The convoy, consisting of upwards of 100 ships,
yesterday proceeded to the Baltic, escorted by his
Majesty's ships Creisy, , - Crescent, and Bi:i.seis.
A convoy from Leith -yesterdaY.,arrixed, tinder
protection of his Majesty's sloop -Snake. Ships
with Colonial produce are admitted into
„any of the
Russian ports, provided they are half laden ;with
rice, and only pay half the Contineiltal- duties.

On the 17th inst. at ten A, .4.. several loud peals
of thunder were heard in Lowsswater, in etpriber-
land, and the neighbourhood, *front he- 4; the
atmosphere in that cpearterbeing latlen with 1)11,.:1;
clouds, in which the adja,;ent hills were.inNlyed.
A very heavy -shower descended, .vihich leached
only. to a short .distance trom, the .mountains of
Loweswater, 'Lorton, When • the clouds
cleared off,„ the summits of Grassmere (the lofty
and rugged bill that rises,on the east stle of Cro-
mack lake) ,: and some. adjoining mountains.were
-seen covered with snow to a considerable thick-
ness ; and although the' datwas wariner than se-
veral preceding ones (the thermometer in,. the
shade being 66, and the warmth, in some situa-
tions, nearly equal to our usual ,summer heat),
yet, in the evening, these majestic sons of , earth
still
,retained their white apparel, their gelidas
humor. The height of Grassmere is supposed.to
'be about eight.or nine hundra, yard. Whilst
thescold upon this towering hill was so intense as
to convert-the failing vapour into snow, the rain
at its base descended in torrents. Patches of snow;
that have fallen in winter, have frequently been
seen upon some of the highest mountains about
Midsummer, but a heavy snow shower, it is pre-
'slimed, has rarely been known to fall'uponthem,
rwlyn the sun was - within a few days of the Sum-
user Solstice. •

roncEn Norms.—Seven
.persons have been
taken into custody within the last week 7, for past=
ito• forged notes to a very 'considerable amount.
They are the remainder of a gang to which the
two men who last suffered were attached, and that
party is now extinct.

Church, knockeddown thewoman With a hatchet,
and cut her throat. He then walked- Yar-

municated the, horrid act he had committed ; and
on her, remonstrating- with him as to his motive
for so doing, he 'replied, he did not know, but
be was ordered to do fit. He was ithmediately
taken into custody, and conveyed to NeNVpoit
prison, until the Coroner's Inquest should take ii
view of the body'. The Jury found a -verdict of
Wilful Murder, on Which he. was committed to
Winclieiter 'O6l, to take his trill for the crime. .

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,

. .
If the _Report- of the National Vaccine Esta-
blishment, which was sent forth in Jul- last, is,
intended for a satisfactory reply to what has lateif
occurred in London and __eliewhere, -1.-must beg.
leaveto ,say, it: gives no s).,i3faction at all ;
since that Report was printed, several more e,ISPs
have happened on which no satisfaction is (4ered.
---p;,xticularly the case -ofS. r ward' Bayoton
San4s;Bart. whose child had the pox, after •
being -vaccinated by Dr. Jenner,-inuc;f worse than
Mr. Grosvenor, and the child of Mr. Gabnancin,
Bank-buildings, who was as bad, as possible Par--
ticulais of the first case I. conclude have- been
transmitted to Dr. Harvey:, by Dr. .I.enaer, or the;
Rev. Rowland Hill, and of the, latter ca-se. they.
may. get any information they chuse from Dr. Ba.-.
bington, 'of Guy's Hospital. •
.The remarkable cases of Mr. Irwin 's family, -as
published in your Paper of the L3th of September
. .
lasts induced me to investigate them, and I. found.
the truth ofswhat your correspondent stated. Since
teat time the son of Mr. Botsford, .of Devereux—
coart, has bad the small pox smartly, though vac-
ciliated only eight months bdfore ; and the.parti7
culars of this, case, ought to be reported to Dr.
Harvey by. Dr. if the FaCulty are interest-
ed in- the truth of- the experiment.
. .
• Now, Sir, it would become the Cow Pox Board,
as they receive salaries for doing a public duty,
to take these recentcaseS intocOnsizleratiOn, and
excuse,such failures, if they aihnit of excuse.
If every practitioner' were obliged 'to make a
fiiithf4Keturn of what he knows, the abundance
of cases .wonjd ex. Geed ail. apprehension. But I •
tru§tsome Menther of Parliament who has been,
severely disappointed, and there are. plenty. who
have, make a-,prpp.er inquiry, by a new Com-
niittee, into the Teal state of the case, before they
employ any more of the public honey on a fruiitlest
experiment,. .
-, -We hp.sicacconats from our Islands, and from
the. Continent,. of irrasses of failure,. and of. the
gekTeral aversion" -of the populace ;
.and I really be.;.
lieve, one of -the..-causes -of --the support it re-.
ceivess from the Faculty arises from ignorancti. of

. .
the art and my6tery of managing the smnli pops,
inoculation so •dextet:oitsly as the Suttons and
Dimsdales, did. , , ,

Before any more .money is granted, the Report
of the College should be printed, and the opi iou
of the.public and-the Faculty shoull be appealed
to, for their reasoning ()lithe Grosvenor and Mar-
tin cases was generally di,;approved, and such a
mass.. of failures have occurred since, that if thy
have no intelligence of the cases,. their. Board is
of no. use and.if they have notice of them, thiiy
are too numerous to lease: the question of the inse-
cur:typf the Cow pax at all doubtful.
