who has long resided here, is going to leave us, to pre-
cede the Portuguese Junta, which will meet first at Vallado-
lid ; we can say nothing to this news, except that we yester-
day saw the above-mentioned Prelate pay unusual visits,
which are said-to have been for the purpose of taking leave.—
Since Yesterday reports have been circulated, affirming that
General Dormadieu was .completely beaten by Mina, on the
19th, and afterwards taken prisoner at Vich, and that General
Curial had been defeated in four successive engagements,which
took place up to the 23d.—If this were true, the situation of
Marshal Moncey would certainly be critical, and the left win'
of our army much exposed. The centre and right wing would
then be in a position rather hazardous, advanced as they are
into the country, especially if, as is positively affirmed, the
corps the Pastor, which is in the Asturias, and that of Gam.
nillo in the environs of Santander, are to unite in an attack on
VVittoria, and to occupy with the ten thousand men that compose
them the important defiles of Salinas, while General Morino,
with the army of Galicia, and the foreign legion from England,
landed at Corunna, would attack the first corps in flank as far
as Madrid, the further occupation of which would then be very
hazardous. This part of the plan is said to originate with Sir It.
Wilson, who will serve only as a volunteer, and with a French
General Officer now in exile, who appears only in the Council.
Should it be carried into effect, and our army find it necessary
to retire from Madrid, it must be towards Arragon (that is,
if the Spaniards occupy Salinas, and then it may take up a
position on the left of the Ebro), and the head-quarters be
fixed at Saragossa. Then, perhaps, it may be thought proper
seriously to press the siege of Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, and
Santona, which have hitherto been so incompletely blockaded,
that the garrisons continue to obtain supplies, which will
enable them to make a longer resistance when they are attack-
ed in form. Thus say the advocates of the Spanish Cortes,—
the war is not finished, but the resistance announced by the
Spanish Ministers will now begin. The Captain of a ves-
sel, who left Saint Andero on Sunday, reports, that there
were no French troops there, nor any of the Army of the
Faith ; that the remains of the latter bad been collected
by Longa, and led by him before Santora. The town is for
the present left to itself, all the civil and military authori-
ties of the two parties having left for fear of reaction ; the
place, however, is tranquil.—An English vessel entered St. Se-
bastian the day before yesterday, the French squadron cruising
before the port not thinking proper to insult the British flag.
A person who has conic from the environs of ParopelunCsays,
that on Friday a salute of 101 cannon was fired there, which
should seem to announce some great rejoicing. We do net
know what may have been the occasion, unless they had receiv-
ed news of the reported victory of Mina on the 19th.—The Guer-
rilla of Chapellengara daily becomes stronger. It has been
for some days in the Bonen', where it is supposed that it will
act for the future. A considerable number of caissons with
provisions have .been sent to the army. The workmen are
still very actively engaged in the palisading of our place, and
.repairing the walls, which have been neglected for a long
-me.
