announce, that the .troops in Upper Hnngary daily
augment ; and that a very considerable corps' of
reserve is forming there, which appears intended
either to' reinforce the army in- Galicia, or that in
Transylvania, or the Bukowi. People begin to
think,- that in' a short time these corps will act
conjointly with,the Prince of Schwartzenberg.
BAYONNE, OCT.I B.—The last intelligence which
'we haVe received from Spain states,- that the Eng-
lish have suffered enormous losses of the siege of
the castle of Burgos. One .of their regiments,
having attempted to m6..nt to the assault, was en-
tirely killed or made prisoners. This siege has
already cost the enemy more than 3000 men.—
Every thing announces,that the junction of the
three armies of Arragon, the centre and the south,
will produce important events. We
,are assured
that the troops of Marshal the Duke of Albufera
have already entered Cuenca, and that they
threaten Madrid.

VIENNA, OCT.' 13.—Accorumg to 'puonc iutel-
ligence from Constantinople of the 30th- of Sep-
tember, the plague was then making great ravages
in that capital. -Almost all the warehouses, were
closed at Pera, acid the greater part of the Franks
had retired to the country.'

ARMY OF PORTUGAL, AND TIM sonTu OF SPAIN.

Since the late military events which took
.plaCe
in the North of Spain between the army Or
tugal and the English army, no action Of import-
ante has occurred. The French army, after a
march skilfully combined, which deceived all the
enerny.'s calculations, and in which a Single wag-
gon was not lost, has been brought back in the
greatest order to Valladolid, • and from thence un-
der the waits of Burgos: General Clausel, whp
provisionally commanded' the army during this
march, knew how to provide for every want, col-
lect and preserve all the resources of the enemy,
and' dispute the ground foot by foot with the ene-
my, and so-impose upon their .s to remain mas-
ter of his movements.

Lord Wellino-ton for a momght appeared to
abandon all idea of offensive operation's before the
Army of Portugal, but he soon renewed 'tis efforts
upon he side of Burgos. On the 7th o Septem-
ber, tbetEnglish army marched upon that place;
the Army of Portugal took a position behind the
town, leaving the fort supplied with every thing
requisite for its defence, with a sufficient garri-
son, comManded'hy General Dubreton.
. On the I Oth, thel enemy began their operations
by the attack of Mount St:Michael, a-positio❑
defended by a Commencement of fortifications, or
rattler by some works not finished. Though a
weak detachment only was left in it, the enemy
experienced a vigorous resistance and only ren •
dered themselveS maters of it aft'cr long efforts,
and a loss of more than 400 men killed and
wounded.

The enemy afterwards made dispositions for
attac!:ing the fort of BurgOs itself. During three
weeks they have, given several assaults, which
have-been constantly repulsed. At the attack on
the 23(1 of September, it appears that they did
not lose lesS than from 2000 to 2500 ; in that
which took place on the I Ith of October, the
42d Highland regiment was very roughly han-
dled, and lost many men. On the 14th of Oc-
tober the fort continued to vigorously defend it-
self.

The French army at this epoch having received
the reinforcements it expected, was preparing to
resume the offensive, and relieve the fort of Bur-
gos ; but previous to the arrival of these .rein,
forcements, it did not cease to annoy the enemy;,,
and cause them daily losses, more or less consider-
able. On the 29th of September, General Clan-
sel had pushed forward several reconnoissances,
the results of which merit being known. One of
these reconnoissances was directed by iGen. Foy,,
who, at the head of the first divisiOn; marched
upon Poza, where he fomfd and. destrOyed a spa-
nigh battalion. The 6th light infantry, com-
manded by Lieutenant-Colonel Frossard, sur-
prised that battalion at break of day, in the mid-
cle of the town : all who attempted to resist were
killed ; the remainder, in number 200, were made
prisoners. General Maucune, who,was with the
advanced guard of the army at-Briviesca, marched
with his light cavalry upon Monasterio ; at Pa-.
drona he met several squadrons. of English light
horse ; he • briskly charged, and drove them to
Monasterio. The Chief of Squadron Hillman, of
the Ist hussar regiment, distingnished himself in
this agair. Two other reconnoissances were di-.
recred 'upon Lscarrai and Viliafranca; by the 3d
division, and division_ of dragoons ; .but the Spa-
nish .troops who occupied these points did not
wait our troops, but retired on their approach.
On the 2d of October there was au engagement
between 2000 Spaniards, of the advance-guard of
the English army, and General Gautier's brigade,
in the neighbourhood of. Pedronos, the details of
which are given in the Moniteur of the 9th. At
that-epoch .Lord Wellington had his head-quar-
ters at Villa Tiro ; those of Castanos were at
The Army Of Portugal, reinforced and perfectly
re-established, only waits to march forward on the
first intelligence of the dirersions which the armies

of tlic Centre aril Suth, joineil,'tunder- the Airec-
tion of his,Catholic Majesty, may effect. • Dis-
union begins to -Creep in among some of --`-the
Chiefs of the Spanish arrify: Porlier has
cloned Mendizabel. All do not approve 'the ape- ,
rations of the English at my ; the inhabitants Of
Castile Nee with pain the throwing upon Rodtig9
and Portugal of many :M

and objects taken at
and the carrying away of grain front all the pro-
vinces, to be sent towards Portugal; a measure
which announces that the English themselves do
not reckon upon making Z long, stay in Spain.-=
The English pay for nothing in that country :
they give notes or for whatever is fur-
nished them. This mode .greatly displease; the
conntry people, who expected better trout those
who call themselves their liberators.

On the 31st of August„ General Caffarelli set
out from Bilboa, with the intention of pursuing
the enemy, and. securing the communications
with Santona. General Rouget remained at BO-
boa with some troops, and had soon-'to. furnish
detachments which weakened his resources. In
this situation, informed that the bands had again
formed, became to the determination of evacuating
the place, and resinning his first position;at
J)u-
rango. He was soon told that the bands- were
spread over the maritime communes, and pre-
vented the entry of the contributions. Informed
that Artala, with a battalion, occupied Guernica)
he set out on the 13th of September, in the hiipe
-of surprising him be, in effect, found the insur-
gents /in Guernica, -but their flight was more
prompt than the march of our troops, and .they
hastily escaped from the place, :And dispersed in the
mountains. Two days after, they appeared before
Guernica with y2iatOrcements,,and made offensive
demonstrations. Several detachments sent to re-
connoitre' es different points, attacked them so
briskly, that they stood in no opposition, and after
hiving killed pr, wounded a good number of their
men, General'.Rouget lost all hope of overtaking
and bringing' them to action; in consequence of
which he immediately marched back h's columns
or Dnrarigo, Which he entered' on the 16th ult..
In this interval a new junction of The bands was
formed, 'and threatened Guetaria. ' On the 21st of
Sept._ Gen. Rouget received orders to proceed to
Bergara, under the command of. Genral Dumou-
lier, to disperse this junction; the approach of
the troops cOnimanded by that General-was. suf-
ficient to disperse the . assemblings ; a . part of
Lrmga's cavalry Alone was surprised Ot Placentia.
where it lost half its men and horses. On the '3d
instant, three battalions marched upon Drina, to
surprise one of our posts. ' Gen. Rouget marched
thither and met the enemy, who did 'not make. a
long resistance. They had in this action more
than 200 men killed,. and a still greater number
Wounded. Immediately after the rout of this band,
a great number of inhabitants returned to their
houses. In these.differetit pursuits our troops had
.more fatigues to stiffer in overtaking . the enemy,
than- fighting them. General Rouget has not
ceased praising. the courage and resolution of the
regiment of Marche.
