•FROM TUE GIBRALTAR CITIZONICLE OF JULY 25.

The enemy, availing themselves- of Gen. Bat.-
LESTER(Ws abknce, re-appeared -in the, neigh-.
boUrhoOd ;of the Rock, on the night of - Sunday
last, to the number of from 4 to 5000 men, com-
manded by- Gen. VILLAT, and have ever since con-
tinued at Los Barrios, demanding rations at
Roche and Algesiras, and -driving or carrying to
Medina all the cattle and grain they can finch: in
the adjacent country.—On their approaching Al-
gesiras the day befure 'yesterday, they were fired
upon from- the
,Bay, but this did not prevent
them capturing .a. detachment •of .118: inva-
lids, who - were, proceeding from that town by
land to Tariffa;- Printe de AITGLONOt DE VI S CON :
is in the vicinity of .the last mentioned place.—
The other two divisions of the fourth Spanish
Arty ; one under the command of General BAL•
LASTEROS and the other under the 31arquis CUR
VAS, are at Yunquera:
An action is repOrted to have taken plate between
them and the French, and. an order to have been
sent to Caceres to get 1000 beds ready for the
Spanish wounded. By the latest accounts that
have reached the garrison,. Generals lava'. and
REV occupied Cour Monda and the environs with
6000 men, and General COURROUX was marching
towards Ardalis with 3000. . .

ArdcANT, JULY 1 I.—Since my last, the enemy
have continued to occupy the same positions round
this place. SUCHET, a feW days ago, was still in
Valencia, but preparing to proceed to Catalonia:
For some time past the dismounted guns, field ar-
tillery, stores, &c. have been mor. ing 'to Tortosa,
where large depots are formed of all kind of provi-
sions sent from Valencia. The enemy's force in this
Province does not exceed 6,000 men; of which
about 4,ooo,occupy the country within four league
of this place: The head-quarters of Gen: O'DoN--
NELL'S army at Orchuela, about 9000 strong includ=
ing 1200 cavalry; this force is independent of.
the garrisons of this .place, Carthagena, Lorca,
Chinchilla, . Penas de St. Pedro, &c. &c'. General
ROCHE'S division sailed -.for Mahon .on the 2d init.
and, after remaining-there two days, sailed again,.
and returned to this place ; the troops landed. yes-
terclay. General DONKIN had also arrived at
Mahon, and sailed for the Eastward, with hii di-
vision -on the 6th.

After the brilliant 'capture of Tudela, Com-
Mandant DußANmarched upon Avanda de Duero,
took it also by assault, and found a large booty,
and killed, wounded, or made prisorkers about 250-'

-The more we consider the language of the
Eleventhl3ulletin, the More we are convinced that.
BUONAPAETE has aha.ndoned his intention of pie-:
trating further into. Russia, and that he will short-
ly retraee his steps to the frontiers of Prussia.
We ventured, ten days-ago," to express our belief,
that BUONAPARTE would not venture to .advance
much further, and the event has justified
our opinion. Without a victory, and a decisive
one, his situation, in the heart of Russia,
would soon become desperate, and the 'utter
annihilation of his Army would be the conse-
quence of a defeat in such a situ,ation.—But it
is not only from the circumstance of BUONA
PARTE'S talking of putting his army into quarter:
of refreshthent," that we infer that he is on the:
point of retreating ; his intention, is we think,
clearly evinced by the care which he has takens
to construct so many tetes-de-pout, a precaution
useless to a victorious and advancing army, but ver
essential to one that is retreating'.

We feel much gratified in finding, that the llint
which we .11Ne I4st week ou the propriety of a

Late glorious victory at Sa'rmanca, is libel` to b
realized by a recommendation from the Patrioti
Fund Committee, at tLOYD'S, who indeed are 411
ways alive to.-humanity and the honour of th 4
country. Never was there an achievement more
honourable to our..natir)nal character, and, lodging
from the rejoicings which took.place in the metropo-
lis, and which we have-the pliasure to find have been
followed by equal zeal throughout the British Ern-
pire, we have
_reason to hope, that the- national
gratitude and justice Will co-operate with patrio tic
pride, in the most liberal contributions for the re-
lief of those who 'clistinOished themselves upon
this glorious- occasion, and who s-tiffer froth the
effects of their zeal'in the service of their Country.

The Bishop of Nonwt6l now, we find, in
Dublin, where, on Monday sennight, several
Members of the Catholic Board, with Lord FIN-
GAL at .head, preSented an, Address' to':bis

Lords'-dp, testifying in the warmest terms their
gratitude for the support which be had given: to
their cause. The Bishop, as -stated in the Irish
Journals, answered Chem in a style not less com-
plimentary, and among other,sentiments, in the

highest degree favourable to the ".'atholics, ex-
pressed it as his opinion 'if that they, have given
to the. Civil-Government, under which they. live,
an adequate security for their conduct as, civil
. ,
subjects." This is by no means the first time that
venerable Prelate has. Made the same declaratioi4
but as it is diametrically opposite to the opinioni:
Of a` great majority of his Episcopal Brethren, and:
of the Ministers of.the.Protestant Church in..
nerali, with very few exceptions, as it has been
the'anxibus emplOYMent of the ablest Statesmen
in `this country to devise such securities as the
Bishop affirms 'that the.Catholles have given, and
as Parliament has yet to, consider and determine
upon the subject,
.we confess,:with-all..our respect
for the character' and talents of the venerable Pre-
'late, that we read with much surprise this declara-
tion. Such an avowahinstead of being calculated
to promote peace between the Catholics and the
British Government, is more likely to strengthen
the zeal of the CatholiC kodv, and to make them
more resolute in their claims, 'and less disposed
to,assent to such securities asithe wisdom. of Par-
liament may deem indispensably necessary for the
preservation of that Establihment in Church and
State, which was framed by the wisdom of our
Ancestors, which they shed their blood to inaiti,
taro, and which has long rendered the
spople of
this country the most free and happy on the face
ofsthe globe. *

Yesterday morning about eleven o'cloek, the
PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by the Duke of
CUMBERLAND and Colonel 131.00MZIELD.; left town

His Royal Highness returned to Carlton-house at

. The PRINCE REGENT, after the late review of
his.own.regiment, had the Officers callpd.to hint
by squad of trumpet, when be expressed to theta
.his thanks for the very high state of discipline the

time he should appear at the head- of it..., . •
The Loan PRovosT and. Magistrates of Edin-.
burgh haVe issued a firm but temperate Frac-lama-,
ticin, in consequence of the riots which took' place
last week, assuring the dealers that they. may
,bring their grainandmeal in safety to the market,
as effectual Means are taken for escorting and pro-
tecting theM.-;---The Proclamat!on declares, that,
after minute investigation, the Lora) PROVOST
and Magistrates are fully satisfied that the high
price of meal is occasioned by real scarcity,• and
riot by any improper proceeding on the part of the
Merchants or Meal-dealers.
