AT D .DECEMBER 5, 1012.

We hays been favoured with the perusal of the

following Letter, from an Officer on board. the
Beagle sloop of war, which Arrived at' SPitbead

yesterday evening, from the north coast of
Spain :

" SPITHEAD, DEC. 4.
" We have just returned from St. Andero, and

the bearers of from Lard WELLINGTON,

We sailed early Saturday morning; I was on shore

Friday night', when a messenger arrived from a

persQn who is in the habit of sending Sir HOME

POPHAM all the news relating to the armies,

which confirms a report that was prevalent the

clay before, that an action had taken place, and

the French had been defeated with a loss of

at least 7000 men, that further particulars would

be sent as soon as ascertained."

" Thu following letter from a confidential person

was received at St. Andero, on Cue night of Fri-

day, the 27th, and was forwarded, we under-

stand, to a Noble Lord in this country.

It is

dated from Anguela del Campo, Nov. 25 :----

" The French at Tiedra have been reinforced

by 300 men froth IBurgos, and all the Alcaldes of

that district put, under an arrest until, they-pay the

last contribution.

The towns of Basconcellas and Panezares hs.ve

been burnt by the French because the inhabitants

left them.

‘i An action has taken plate near Salamanca,

in which the French lost upw4r43,- of SAO amen,

and are retiring to the Valley of Eguela, and have

ordered 70,000 rations at Palencia,"

We bad neither time nor room yesterday to offset
any comments upon the important mass of intel-
ligence which we. bad the satisfaction _of laying
before our Readers. It happened, rather sin-
gularly, that. we- received, on the same day,
the official accounts
,both from. France and
Russia, and both of them ; furnish the most
substantial ground for exultation to every
real , friend. to humanity. The TWenty-eighth
Bulletin (tor; we; will begin with the French acl
count) contains admissions of distress, such as
are not to be found in any other• French official
document since the commencement of the French
' Revolution. For a long time, indeed, BUONA-PARTE
has thought proper to lay aside that vaunting tone
which he had assumed when he entered the Rus-
Hssiaw-Aerrituries. There can
.be no doubt, that
after the battle of Borodino, and the burning of
Moscow, BLiONAPAgTE was fully aware. of the
danger of his situation. He began by mak--
ing an attempt to negociate, and the mo-
ment he failed, he set about his retreat, and
a most disastrous one it has been. It is un-.
necessary to travel through the details given in
the Russian and r'rench Bulletins, but it appears
that. two very severe and sanguinary battles have
been fought, One at Maloyaroslaydy ,and One at
Viasma ; in each of these actions .both sides
claim the' victory ; but the result was that
the French continued to retreat, , and the
Russians to pursue.• Besides those two battles,
the Russians mention a successful attack which
was' made on the ist of November by the gallant
PLATOW, 'at Kolotzk, where the French lost two
colours, and 24 pieces of cannon ; of this affair
the, French Bulletin takes no notice whatever.
But though BUONAPAATE has not acknowledged
the defeat at Kolotzki be found it impossible to
