tack the enemy's position, whence it may be
naturally concluded that Mina, on his part,

very desirous of operating in the same manner
against General Donnadieu, marched boldly on
Campredon, and forced General Donnadieu
to make an advance movement, and throw
himself into the centre of Catalonia, having
Mina in front, and -Minns and Llobera on his
flanks. Mina will take the same route as Ge-

neral Donnadieu, and move rapidly on Vie
by Ripoll, whilst General Curial and the 13aroi

d'Eroles were flattering themselves they should
shut him up in Cumpredon.

The. Spanish Cortes have dismissed General Sir
JOHN Dow Nit, from the situation he has long
held as Keeper of the King's Palace at Seville.

We have received, at a late hour this morning,
Dutch and .11arnburgh Papers, of which the
following are Extracts

46 BATAVIA, DEC. 25.—8 y a communication
from the Chief of the Dutch Connovrce in Japan,
we are enabled to publish the following impor-
tant account, of which that officer had received
Official information:—

" The English ship Sarasin, commanded by D.
Kerr, of 400 tons burdetf, and having a crew of
33 men, was compelled, for want of water and other
necessaries, to put into Oeragn, a place 20 miles
from the capital city of Jeddo, on the 10th of
June last year. This vessel, fitted for the ‘vhale
fishery, sailed from London two years and a half
ago. It was furnished with every thing neces.
sary by the Japanese Government, and con_
'sued its voyage ten days after its arrival at

Oeraga.

" JAN. 3,1823.—0 n the 27th December, in
he evening, a shock of an earthquake was felt
the residency of Kadoc, about nine o'clock
a the evening; it was in the direction from east
o west ; it was repented 18 times in 20 hours.
" At present we have the unhappy certainty
hat four villages are burnt and ten buried
fifteen persons have lost their lives, the inhabi-
tants of the destroyed villages not having had
time to escape. Every thing that could bo done
for the relief of the sufferers was done by the
Itesident, as far as the time would allow.
" Sr. PETERSIJURGif, AMU, 27.—Tho Adjn.
ant-General of his Majesty the Emperor, Wol-
ronskey, Mentschikow, and Sagrewski, have re-
ceived leave of absence for several months.
.44 It is positively affirmed, that a considerable
reduction is going to be made in the army, and
that the Imperial Ukase to that effect will shortly
be published.
" On account of the quantity of drift ice, it
has been necessary to again take down the bridge
over the river, and the communication can only
be carried on by boats.
" The merchants still complain of the stagna-
tion of trade. The prices of all kinds of colonial
produce, have again declined, in consequence of
the very small demand there has been for some
months past."

Both Houses of Parliament adjourned last
night for the Whitsuu Holidays---the Lords to
"tmrsday and the COMMQVIS to Wednesday

-remains there ; and that on the 7th, the Count of
Abisbal was at Galapaga,' a village situated be-
tween the Escurial and Madrid. It appears that
this General has, on the whole line of the moun-
tains from Sarno-Sierra as far as the Guadararna,
some thousands of men, composed in part of con-
scripts who are waiting only fora favourable
opportunity to leave him.
" The news of the capture of Valencia, by
Ularann, is not confirmed. It is said that he has
been repulsed in his attack on Valencia, and was
obliged to retire. It is a singular fact, that since'
our entry into Spain we have not heard a word of
Bessieres.

" It is announced that we shall set out again
from. Burgos on the 13th. Marshal Oudinot
takes this morning the direction of Valladolid.
Orders have been issued that the advanced corps
of the array shall be within three leagues of
Madrid on-the 23d; and it is probable we shall
enter that capital on the 24th.

" The movement of Mina can only be volun-
tary on his part. He can, being at Olot, move
on Vich with so much the more facility, as he
would be supported on his left by Mans and
Llober, who keep open in retreating the road to
Barcelona. We may remark that when Moncey
manoeuvred on the Fluvia, he-expected that Gen.
Donnadieu would descend along the 'leer to at-
