PARis, MARCH Spanish General Blajie;
President of the Insurreetiolial Regency of Cadiz, had
preserved his voluminous correspondence, which
Contains some matters of impoitance. We shall,
give a varietysof txtracis firm it.
It will be seen from these documents, that the
chiefs of the insurreCtion are convinced of the inu-
tility of -their struggle,-gi-hocv much they dread the
French infantry and cat alry,—and to what a pinch
their dissatisfaction and hat re..l of the at 1.1)N Is
carried.

[Then follow the clociimethi in i-pes!ion, winch
are extternely voluminous, containing repurl6 troni
every General of Division belonging to Blake's army,
detailing their reiTe6live operations on the battle of
the 25th of October. Then come the „Nlihntes of
the deliberations of two councils of war, held on t ic
subject of the defence of Valencia ; the result of
which wAs, that the city was declared untenable.
It appears that the troops had rations of bread for
only nine or ten days.—The following is a statement
of the 1054 which the Spanish army sustained On Ulu'
251 h of October k.lled, 247 ; wow-tried, 679-,.:
prisoners, 3310 r dispersed 425.; total 401.—i:tie
last paper given is tii:e dispatch of General Blake to
the Regency, which has already appeared in airs
Spanish Wipers.]
MAnRID, Maacur I.—The following is an inter-
cepted letter from H. O'Donnell, appointed Meru-
tj'.er of ihe New Regency at Cadiz, dated Alicant,
and addressed to his brother Challes O'Donnell, _
who was made prisoner at Valencia with General
Blake. Th's letter proves that the very chiefs of
the insurgents haVe lost all cor.ficknce in their re-,
sources,And have little hope of supporting the con-
test in which they are engagrAl:— •
" My dear Charles,

" constant anxiety could alone excuse rill
lOng silence, which, however, you might attribure
to another motive. I learn by the journals your
fine aril celebrated retreat, in which I congratulate
you; for if an operation of that sort may be. consi-
dered one of the most difficult in war, he who has
executed it, in good oqler, with our troops, in the.
face of Suchet, has only So much the more merit.
" I wait with impatience the result of Blake's
projeds. HoweVer. I promise myself nothing good iE
the enemy receives reinforcements from Catalonia oi.
Navarre. These succours would even enable him to
leave beforeMurviedro, a corps superior to the garri
son of that place, so as to confine it within its
while they advanced under those of Valencia. It you
give: battle, you ought. not to hope to gain it ; and it
appears improbable that Bl2lce thinks of giving it.
It it has not taken place, the army have only to
-retire behind the Jucar, and abandon Valencia to its
own strength. In that case a rigorous blockade
will suffice (or its redution. If the. army occupies
the lines of 'Valencia, it ought, in order to secure Ai
subsistence, to extend itself to the sea; and such-a
libe must be exposed to the same dangers as every
other of that sort. I am quite. ignorant of Blake's
plans, but I know Suchet 'sufficiently to be persuail-
ed -that no partial movement will induce him to re-
linquish his enterprize, should he receive reinforce-
ments. Ido not think that his designs are cot-rupee
to the capture of Murviedro : on the contrary, I
firmly believe, that it is his object to obtain posse S-
. of Valencia, in order to place himself in commu-
nication with Sot*, to besiege Carthagena or Ali-
earn', for the purpose of cutti4.34s °Nall coma-wok:A-.
(ion with the sea, and force our two armies to -em-
bark, or, finally, to carry on the war in Navarro
and Arragon, and from thence to advance upon

" It is quite evident that it is the enemy's intety
lion to make these provinces the theatre of actio
warfare, because, knowing that,it is the intention of.
the English not to move far beyond the frontiers ti
Portugal, he will have only to fight akain,t7ui; and
by obtaining possession of the was; from the Ebro
to Aline' ia, he will be master of all ti,at part
which borders' upon the Mediterranean ; de-
stroy the profitable commerce which the Ene;io
carry on; and will, besivles, secure, by a•cliain of
fortresses, his Communicinions tromnousilion to die
kingdoin of Granada.

" Our troops, few in number, and scattered cire.tr
many provinces, can effect niAhlng ; and hen 41:0
_enemy shall be master of all thc@ii--.sses of the- king-
dom, the armies having no longer any -point of sup-
port. will be forced to disperSe. Thus, while the
Cortes are employed in-guing a constitution to the
nation which exists no longer, and- the war is re-
duced to the robberies and plundering of the Gue-
rillas, we shall be a prey to all the bottors "of war,
without the hpe of seeing its .termination.
" My- health is better, and it is my intention to
:repair to Cadiz on the fiist favouraide Opportunity :
not to accept the common,' which Jim. then offered
me, hot, merely to re-es'nhlish my hth.
" I have several times in:reale(' Ignacio to repair
to Majorca ; which she has not agreed Co. I have
reserved, and will al way s reserve for her, an I can,
besides v4,,hat I keep for thyself : and, !ILA you may
etveriam no doubt of this, it is proper you should
know, that since the 30th of December last, she has
receivtd trout me thirty thousand teals,- and from
he treasury of Taringuna 22,500 tea4,'besides *hat
she must have of her own. Adieu ! my dear-
Glories, may God give you happiness, for your
atiedionate brother Henry is s2.nsibly interested iu
your prosperity."

PARIS, MARCH 20.—A council of war was held
on the 13th instant, on • Captain Saint Crab Lite
Commander of the frigate Cioriade, composed- of
the Adimarls Ganteaume, Missiessy, Ewe-
riau, &c. Orl charges : 1 st, for not -doing all in.
his power in the as of May 20, 1811, in which
the frigate Renommee was captured: 2dly, -for hav-
ing separated himself limn his Commander, al-
most at the instant of. the action, wlien' he should
have kept very near, and have made no movement
which, could have carried him to a distance : sdly,
for not having, although the Clorinde was in a suf-
ficient condition, made any attack on the enemy, a
little while after the separation from the Renommde,
and almost at the moment when the enemy ceased
his fire on that Ship; the result of which attack
might haye been the abandonment by the enemy
of.
his pursuit of the Renommee, &c.
The Council sat, by adjournment's, till the 18th
inst. and examined a number of witnesses; one of
whom, Gerot Fabritius, a native of Enkhuysen,

President (" Every- Commander of a ship of war,
gniltv of disobei ing tie -orders or signAs of his
Command. r, shall be deerived of Its 'command ;
and if his disobediet cc occ isions a separation, either
of his own, or anotner :vessel of the squadron, he
shall be cashiered, and be tin won by to serve ; if
this takes place in 'preseece of the enemy, he shall
lbe condemned to death.") the. Council condemned
the accused, licques, Si. Cr-cq, tin nimously, to
three years' i.nerisonment in such place -as die Go-.
t'ernmint should at po:nt. They further condemned
him to be degraded Item the Legion of Henonr,
and to pay all ti.e costs of the p eceedings ; and
ordered 200 copies of the judgment to be publicly
affixed.
.e. Francois:Pc:nee, Captain of the Nereide, Member,

".hick they commanded after the death of their re-
spet:t ive.Captains ; and their w ords were ordered
to be returned to t!tem.

from Captain. Harvey, of his Majesty's sloop Ro-

twelve brigS,
,of three brass twenty-,lour pounders,
and one eigiii-tech howitzer, with fifty men each,
and a tugger, assisted with greet gallantry by Caw,

two asuore. lam happy it- is in my power to name
Captain Harvey as an officer of great Zeal,.anddis-
tinguished merit ; Captain Troilope, ti rir Lordships

SIR,

11i$ Majesty's Sloqp Rosario, off Dieppe,
March 27,.1812,

It -is with much satisfattion I have to acquaint
• Yot, that at half-past eight A. M. Dieppe bearing
S.W. faur or five miles, we observed an enemy's
flotilla, consisting of twelve brigs and one lugger,
sfand ng aloog.shore, and immediately made sail to
cut off the leewardmost. The enemy, by signal
from their Commodore, formed into a line and et-i•
gaged us severally as site passed, but upon luffing up
to cut off the sternmost, the whole bore up to sup-
port her, and endeavoured to close with us. Finding
them thus determined to support each other, and
the small force of the Rosario not admitting my
running the risk of being laid on board by several
at once, I byte up to a brig we observed in the
offing (and which proved to be the Gtiffon) and
made the signal for an enemy. The Moment she
11,,u answered we hauled to the wind, and at forty
„mutes Ater twelve -began rO harass the -enemy's
rear, who were then endeavouring to gel i nip Dieppe
under all sail ; tacked and wore occasionally to
receiving and returning /lie tire of the whole. line
each time; at hall-past oar,
body o
ope,beii the
tongfareneennotyug,lartd
by ciia
w'icd7;ng away
rd,.r into t
the • [tanning rigging 'of the two
nearest droVe them on board each other, backed
I tie mainiop-sail, and engaged them within musket
shot till they were clear, then stood on and engaged
another, whose- mainmast and foretop mast soon
went by the board, what she immediately anchored;
passed her anti drove the near in the line on shore :
two more of their line 37,1 remained to leeward, bore-
up ,ind ran the neatest one on board (then not more
than three-quart:rs of a mile from the-shore). So
tar th,: Rosario h d acted alone, as the GI iffon had
1,0, yet artived within gunshot; bore away with
plaze bey ono range of the batteries and hailed the
Griffon (t:,en passing under a -press of sal) to chase
tilt re:naming-brig, and which service she performed
to a %rt.), bandso.ne manner, by running bet on shore
„ea, S. Auhin, undrr a vary heavy fire from the
shoe : seeing no probability of the Griffon being able
to dt-stroy the brig, made her signal to attack the
e,etny in the S. E. then•anchoring close in shore.
In'the mean time we were getting the prisoners on
boatd and repairing the running rigging, which was
much damaged. Captain Trollope 'latrine closed
with the enemy., run the Griffon in shore (°)1 one at
an anchor nearly in the centre, and in the most
gallant manner -laid her on botrd, cut her cables
and stood out, under the. fire of the batteries and
the whole of the other brigs ; upon passing the
Griffon 1 Mond her too much disabled to immedi--
ately wake sail again to the attack, but being de-
termined to have another, (and although we had
nearly as many prisoners as our own sloop's com-
pany), I run the dismasted one ontbard, which we •
found the enemy had deserted, but this circumstance
the darkness of the night prevented our being
enabled previously to discover, at which time the
remaining seven ofthe• flotilla were under weigh,
getting into Dieppe harbour. I must beg leave to
mention the very. able assistance I received from the
exertion of my First 'Lieutenant, Mc. James Shaw,
in boarding the enemy,`and -during thew hole of the
day in the arduous task of working the ship while
engagine ; and the conduCt of the Whole of the
other officers and ship's company was such as to
merit my warmest approbation. We have only
-One petty officer and four men wounded; the otli-
cer is Mr. Jooathan Widdicome Dyer, Midship-.
man, whose unremitted exertions during tile atlion
and activity in boarding, (when be received the
wound) together with his general •good conduct,
renders it my duty to recommend hiM.
The flotilla is'the fourteenth division, commanded
by Monsieur Sartre, Capi•aine de Vaisseau, and. C‘M-
rnandant de Division ; sailed ftorn Boulogne at ten
P.M. the '26th- instant, and intended going to Cher-
bourg : each brig has three long brass twenty-four
notanders, and an eight-inch brass howitzer, wi:h
a complement of fifty men.. When I consider this
110611,, united to batteries, keeping up a constant
fire of both shot and shells, and the very small force
we bad, I toist-the having taken three, run two on.
shore, and Much damaged the others, will chew our
zeal for tht.:;, public service, and meet your appro-
bation.

I have the honour to be, &c. •
B. AR VEY,. Commander,
Rear-Admiral Foley, &c. &c. &c.
