DIARI.O DI LA CORUNA, -AUG. 1, 1812.

"I can almost assure my Readers, from good
authority, that in the actions -which took place
from the 18th to 25th of last month, the French.'
lost about 24,000 men, although it was first
stated from between 10 to 12,000, secondly froth.
15 to 16,000, and thirdly at 18,000. '
(‘ We also know, that all the Generals of MAR-
MONT'S army were either, wounded or taken pri-..
soners ; •111Attx o NT himself, and the famous Bos-
NET, were wounded.

" We know that a space'of giO-and of upwards
of two leagues was covered with their dead and
wounded, which last were collected, besides an
immense booty of arms, baggage, and ammunition,
by the Allies ; tint the prisoners which have Al-
ready been made amount to 6000.

" We, bate reason to believe that the intrusive
King has
,disappeared with abont sii thousand
men. In short, we doubt not but that the glori-
ous battle of the Arapiles will prove to be almosta„
decisive one, and that we shall every clay hear.of
fresh advantages obtainedineonsequence of it."

•
uw.ler the headloreip
News,
this extract from
the Gazeite de Frznce, asserting as impudent and.
sew:dalous a falsehood as any that aver disgraced
the Press
Lord Yarmouth and his worthy imitators, obtained their
liberty under the giwiz.ntee of their parole. . fit violating.
that guarantee, 'they have offended the delicate sentiment of
honour. Lord Yarmouth Was the first to set au example, so
much the more fatal, s its author is of thc most elevated
rank." •

.•
1 have always avowed, both at Verdun and at
home, my opinion, that the detentinn of the Eng-
lish in 18;03,, however eruel, by its being a inea-
sure never resorted to on former
'occasions, was
justified by the seizure of French property and
French subjeCts in British ports, before'our Am-
bassador had ceased to exercise the functions of
his high office at Paris.. Tills opinion left me
iii preteat,- 'however miserable., for the breach
of • a parole of honour. Since, however, a
Charge of its violation his "been brought. for
ward- in the French.. Papers, and repeated, with.
various comments, in the English, I ain compell-
ed to clear myself: which I shall do• in a few
words, premising, that I. can support. my asser
tion by the original passports signed by the
French Minister.

' In May, 1803., the English in France,wero der
claredprisoners:of War, and as'such gave their pa-
role of honour. For several iiton.iis I any
others.
,were permitted to reside w Wherever e
pleased, till the crudd disregard of sonae English
•Geutlemen to the comforts of their fellow-pri-
soners, occasioned 'our 'being.Conlined in forties-
.
Ses on their effecting their escape.
I had passed more than two years in the for-
treSses of Verdun, when- I iearat that Mr. Fox
had., at the command of the Prince of Wales,: to
whose gracious interference 1 am proud to owe
my liberation from captivity, applied for and 61,2-
tained my return to Enghaid on parole of honour,
to go back to France whenever my return should
be demanded. A similar parole was signed by the
Earl of Elgin and General Abercromby,• and we
' sailed together from MorlaixJn,May, "1646,. Up-
on my being sent back to Parisi, almost immedi-
ately afterwards, by ivir:Fox, 'tdeinanned and ob-
tained my- release .from this .parole, as: a neces7.
sary preliminary to my being under- the protec-
tion afforded by the Law of Nations to diplomatic
Agents.
Since it. has thu4,ber:ome necessary for me to
recur to the year 1806, 1 take this opportunity of
adding 'to the papers then pnblished, the instruc-
tions accompanying,-Mr-.'FoX'S' dispatch off' the 18th
July. These instructions I owe it 'tO myself to
publish in refutation oi the, charge once advanced':
'and -now revived, of having, contrary to the to-.
12our of my instructions, 'produced hiS Majesty's
full powers at atime when (22d of tdy) 'no -choice
remained but to do so or break off the negotiation.
Of course, be rememnered, that M. D'Ou-
brit had then co:winded a treaty, and.that he used
all the weight :betonging to the Minister. of so
great a friendly powe.., to obtain an official elia-
racter to he attached to the British. negotiation.
No obloquy could iliduce me, for Obvious reasons,
to make this doctunent.pubitc in 180.6-71 it is.noW:
harmless, and I have 'a right. to add it, to the Oki-,
Oa papers of that year.
The story of .I\l. de 'Clermont a:r.,l the snuff
box., in 1611,,is private,- and of no moment, ndr
should I notice it, but that. the pen is in ray,'
hand. It is entirely unfounded-, never having re,.
ceived that or any other mark of the French Pit-.
'peror's recollection or approbation, then or any
other time.
