ST. JOHN'S, Auo. 13.—0 n Monday evening
laSt: arrived here; Captain henry Gamble, with
part of his crew and passengers, belonging to the
ship Royal 13-ounty, of Leith. This vessel, •on
her,voyage front Hull to Prince Edward's Island,
in ballast, was attacked, on the Ist instant,
four or five leagues to the southward of,St. Peter's,
by the Yankee brigantine privateer, of •18 guns
and 120 men. Captain Gamble, being. unapprised
of the was, was in some degree unprepared for the
attack of the American, who chased her -under
English, colours, but, on coming near, hoisted the.
American flag, and commenced the engagement.
The Royal Bounty had ten guns, eighteen men,
and four passengers, one a female. . Capt. GaMble
sustained the unequal conflict, for an hour
and a quarter, when, having the boy that
was at the helm killed, himself wounded,, to-
gether with his second- mate, boatswain, and
cook, the colours wete struck. Several -shots
were • fired afterWards,* one'. of which. wounded
the chief mate. The Americans then took. pos-.
session, yid ordered all the people on board the
priVateer, where the wounded received surgical
assistance, but the others were treated very harsh-
ly, having theii clothes, 'time of Which thetwore,
taken from them.

Two Americans were badly wounded, and it is
.supposed some were killed, but •this:was not ac-
knowledged.
.r he -American -master was
enraged at the resistance he had met with from
Captain Gamble, whose conduct onthis. occasion,
as well as of his gallant associates, deserves the
apProhatiOn of every -b rare man. .
The privateer shortly after boarded the Thetis,
of Poole, Capt. PACK, fr6m Sidney, withicOals,
which was set fire to, as well: as the Royal Dovnty.
The crew- of the former escaped. -At eleven at
night Captain GAMBLE, with.. his crew, were set
adrift in the boat. r.They reached the land of Pla-
' centia Bay the:next:Morning. After receiving the,
most hospitable treatment at Lamallin, they were
conveyed from thence to Blinn, :where they. also
experienced every attention from Mr. Butler and
Mr. Harrison, who provided them with a convey-
ance to St. John's.

The privateer, we are led to believe, has done
a good deal of mischief on the South West coast,
but we hope Captain Cookesley, of the Hazard,
who must have been near that part of the coast,
will put a stop ,to his career: - •

_DEPARTNII7.NT.
Dow!iittir,-street, Sept. 23, 1514.
It appears, from a dispatch received from !via-

jor-General COOKE, dated Cadiz, 30th August,
that on the 27th the city of Seville was taken

by assault by the corps under General. LA
Cntlz and Colonel SKERRET. It was defended

by eight French- battalions of infantry, and two
regiments of cavalry. The enemy left behind them
their valuable captures of horses, baggage, and
money. ' Their loss has been very conSiderable ;
several Officers and near 200 prisoners, and two

field-pieces were also taken.
The rapidity of the _inoveinerits of the Allied

troops prevented the destruction of the bridge,
-which would have rendered success very difficult.

Nothing can exceed the gond behaviour of
the whole of the allied troops, and the joy of the

inhabitariis.

The loss of the British. was Lieut. )3nwiT,

Royal. Artillery, and one man killed"; Lieut.
LLEWELYN, 95th regiment, and 12 man wounded.

STAFF, DATED SEVILLE, ELEYEN O'CLOCK, A, Zd.

THE 27TH QF AUGUST.

" EXCELLENT SIR,

" The alliedtroops of the division under mycom•
mand, this morning forced the enemy to abandon
this pre Claus city, in which we have entered.
" To describe to your Excellency the rejoicings
of the people at the sight of the national and al-
lied troops: is impossible. ,
I cannot give your Eicellency the details of
the action for Want of time : I cannot omit saying,
that we have in our power a quantity-of wounded
and prisoners ; on our part we have suffered some
loss, O't Which I will give your Excellency an.ac,.
count .in my. next dispatch."

The following dispatch has been received from
General tALLiSTEROS, dated Prado del-Rey, 2f4

August

" In the ' night of yesterday the enemy eye....
cuated all the line from Guadalete, Ronda, and the
points of Zahari and Tiba, blew up the fortifica-
tions, spiked.the cannon, and destroyed the am-
munition : I pursued, and my troops occupy the
Ronda and Vjllamartin. I am prepared, in t')e

'event of the enemy having left forces in besieging.
-Cadiz, to march upon them, and if they have en-
tirely evacuated the lines, to pursue them in their
retreat."

The Chief of the General Staff, of the Royal Isla.
de Leon, under this day's date, enclosed a copy
.of a Dispatch received from the.Goyernor of Me—
dina'Sidonia, likewise dated the 38th inst.

That at nine .at night, on the 25th, the ene-
my evacuated the City and Castle of Areas, spilc-
ing-the ; -and that, according to the most :.
pOsitiye intelligence that-could be obtained, they.
left large quantities
.of ,warlike stores,, 401)13
bushels of wheat, and a portion of bacon and

biscuit, that in continuance they evacuated Bor-
nos, at which time his Excellency the Chief of
the army-was in Prodos del.Rey, and was, accord-
ing to the latest intelligence from,the Governor.
of Alcala, to enter. Bornos ; that some peasants
having arrived at that city, the enemy embargoed
their horses, with which they arrived the day Le-
fore yesterday, with' the last French corps at Las
CAizas ; that; according to all appearances, tl.ey
would continue their retreat by the royal road,
taking with theta all the horses they met, -the
owners of which, having no hope of their being
libei•ated, and worn out with the ill treatment
they received, determined to abandon them, which
they did by stealth."

CADIZ, AUG. 29.--According to the most faith..
ful accrnts respecting the entrance of Gen. Ceva
into. S'eille; it appears that the enemy, in number
3000 infantry and 400 horse, attempted to make
a stand upon the Hill of Castelliga, in order to
prevent our expeditionary troops from -entering
'that city ;. but they were tnEslodgedx from. post to
post, to the bridge of Triana, which, iu part.
they destroyed. The time which it took our troops
to repair it enabled the enemy to escape without
suffering all that loss they would have experienced
without this- detention. INTevertheless they inadq
some resistance in the arsenal, at the gate- of Tri"
and, et the Crui del Campo,' and in streets of the
city; in all those encounters they lost more than
500 men. . Our loss consists 'of frOin .50 to 1/0.---
Brigadier Downie, Colonel of. the Eitrernactura
Legion, was badly wounded. The enemy are r
tiring towards Alcala de Guadiana.- •
