LETTER FROM THE DUKE. uF DALMATIA TO THE

PRINCE OF NEUFCHATEL.

" I have the honour of transmitting to ,you toe .
',IVY of a Letter from the Duke of Bellenoe dated -
ilicalana, the 10th. It gives an account of serious
losses which the 'enemy have experienced before.
,a(liz,-.froin the 7111 to the loth of this montie—
tkcitir ships of the line, several frigates, and more
• tqdn 50 other vesseis, have been thrown by the
Il,lVeSt. on the coast from the mouth of the Goa-
'ra.euivir to the extremity of the Bay of Cadiz. At
(Pe departure of the Officer who broeght me this
'Patch, 600. shipwrecked Enelishmen, and a
retm-
t" Spaniards, had been collected.. The English
41 set fire to two ships and one frigate. •
v An English ship of 80 guns grounded within
t:i.
e range of our posts; the Duke of Belluno caused
r" crew to be taken 'out. He has also caused theeltilins of this- fatuous • wreck to: be collected, the
t
89'Iseeuences of which may influence the submis-
, i°l3 of Cadiz, notwithstanding the number of troops
w
11.9icli are in that town and the Isle of Leon. The
ur,ltt reports %s ill donhtless afford more circurnstan-
-4! details respecting this event.
tt e: I have also the honour of transmitting an ex-
aact from the Journal of the operations before
:41zs from the 3d to eth of this month. You will
alt troM what is stated there, that the tempest has
430 dope us some damage in the trenches and bat
ri"..! but it will soo be repaired..
1:` Ihe Duke of Bedlam, had detached General
7. tour Mauuo iig, wi:h heir batiaions and some
Il'airje, to the ineuntaitis between Rotoks and tee
attp of St. Roch, to destroy the new • ores of
. ,;tlirgents which the English and sonic Chiefs tit
1h; revolt had formed there: The bad weather
1:4,1 rendered it necessary to suspend the operation ;
tell( 't is now resumed, and General Pereiriont is to
co bnd it with three battalions from 1110 Glitild
get', cl'Y of %Varsaw and the pike men. He wiii
jo' cut - for this purpose next night from Malaga,
' 4,1 tidrence to Ronda, whence the Co one!. of the
fi hussars, who was th to . h sits regiment, and
h'"? Intedred Voltigeurs of the Royal Guard;' Inuit
tlave 10i the moment retired. It is therefore to be
r)td tha. in a few days the town of Ronda .will b.
°f °I and the mountains, as f.r as the camp
St • Roch, a second time pacified. •
" It will, for the future, be very difficult to '
°lti'rd against. the intrigues of the English agents in
mountains, while the camp of St. Roch, is
C°l occupied, and the lines re-established. His
'tliolic Majesty would have sent thither the di-
-otl9tl of General Dessolles, had cot that division
ceell employed, and necessary for guarding the
aiimnication from the Sieira Morena, to Grenada
, r Seville, and to protect the numerous popUlation
n 0 the kingdoms of Jaen and Cordova, who ark'
harassed .by thousands of dispersed soldiers
asa
•"'„ smugglers, who have not yet been . collected,
ap(t who live by plunder. The number of the
4'sPersed troops and smugglers is estimated. to
:Qum to.thirty, thousand. Being, therefore,
,e.)les at present, to spare the division of Dessolles,
m's Majesty has resorted to other dispositions.
We are employed in the first place in forming
4'o corps all the smugglers in the ino'uiltaiiis of
ulida, and in uniting to .them several- thousand
Spanish soldiers. If this operation snceeeds;ehe
t
h°rPs so formed will be charged with proteding ibis
'Part of the frontier, and with re-establishing the
tr44ll).Pf St. Ruch, until regular Spanish (loops 'care
t 1
sent thither.
The province of si'lalaga,, which extends from
arbelia to beyond Velez-Malaga, entertains the
t. t disposition. The inhabitants have assured his
Mjesty, that by means of civic guards
they
have organized, and with several batia-;
and independent companies, the fOrmation of
t had been decreed by the King, they can main-
-411 the tranquility of the interior, preserve a proper
Pei:t for the laws, and proteet the province from
rye`}' foreign aggression.
His Majesty having accepted the. proposal of
ule Magistrates, and principal inhabitants, judged
circumstances favourable for putting them to the
'll,.(ms and orders have been given for the Imperial
e°ON of the fourth corps to' retire from 11,1.11aga on
'itt quera, whence they are to be employed in the
4t.i,ectition to the mountains of Ronda, and will
tl,tere aids proceed towards Grenada, to assist in
expeditiou to Murcia, which cannot be longer'
4ered.

that these different expeditions will hate Satisfetoty

in the Alpugatos, and on the sea coast, he also iii

he sent this report he was proceeding to reduce the
other distriOs ; so that thissexpeditioti has defoatcd
the plans of Blake, and has preserved the &ouch side
of the mountains of the Sierra Morena from new
misfortunes.

" The greatest tranquility prevails in the interior
of Andalusia. In all the Owns the N,ational Guard
is organized, and assists maintaining..pnhliciran7l
qudity; but the events mentioned above, and the
necessity of 'increasing our means of operatiOne
aglinst Cadiz, have rendered it necessary to press

suspend the siege orßaclij6s; for which prepardtionS

.
count from his head-.'quarteis at. Zatra, respeitting
bodies of insurgents which had be-en formed

He immediately attacked them, and they were,,dis-_,
persed, . atter a nuniner had been killed. *Next •day
e inhabitants of Xeres,submitted to the Xwg, and
promised to reject, in future, all criminal insurrec-
tions that Might be addressed to them. Anothyr
body of insurgents was formed at Llerni: The
Duke Of TreriSo sent an expedition flier, also, from
which be expects satisfactory results. He had atm
to send. out at: expedition to re-establish tie com-
munication with Seville, which had been intercepted
by a numerous band" of from five. to six hundred,
men, who had cccasioned a loss ot twenty of our
troops-marching to join the sth corps. It is believ-
ed even that Col. Branchville, who was with this
_detachment, has been killed,

REPORT FROM THE DUKE OF BELLUNO.

et CHICLANA, MARCH I o.—The 11"00pS I.
have detached to reduce the insurgents- in the moun-
tains of the Bishopric]: of Cadiz; .had • adva;lced to
Alcaia de los. Gazulez, when the weather h.-came so
bad, that it was imposstble toy them to. proceed-tar-
titer. The rods had suddenly become altogether
irupradicable, the beds of torrents which crossed
them toeing full of ‘‘ilter.

‘‘..The first efforts
.made by our soldiers to pass
them shewed the inability and danger of their-en-
deavonrs.. Several men were drowned, and this
accident occasioned the postponement .of this expe-
dition. I shad take i.he advantage of the first fine
weather to resume it, and ai soon as I have verified
the report, which. I-As been transmitted to me from
Tarrifa.

A corps of English and Spanish' Troops, it is
Said, have landed lu.that town, which*they allow nO
ptrsoli to leave. I shall order a teconnoi;snnee tn-
morrow, to learn the truth.Of this rei;ort, and shall
afterwards take suitable measures.

" The enemy ha 3 sustained some Llsses, occa-
sioned by the . bad weather. The tempest, which
has. raged for-these last three days, has driven ashore
and' wrecked a great number of vessels, both ships
of war and merchantmen. Four ships of the hue,
inotinting from' 74 to 80 "guns, were driven ashore
with Stith Viol-trace,' that. they were wrecked withiQ
musket- shot of Lestran, between Port Royal and
Port Sx. Maria Another experiehced the same Lite
near .the Carracas, and also"a Make in the bay, near
Port Royal.:

" •.'l to tempest has , done so much damage; that
along the whole coast to the month of .
quivir, nothing is to be seen but the wreckS of ves-
sels and. dead holies floating. Two or three hun-
d
ed of the crews,.Spaniards.and English, liave been
saVed,by the sailors of the IMperiar gUard, who ex-
pOsed themselves to great danger in performingthis
work of humanity. It is impossible. not to remark
that the Spaniards and English, Who were thus res-
cued by-our•sailors, were the same' uteti -i.v.hO but a
few days betore= had 'treated them iii the most cruel
manner, and had even gone so far as to reluse'thein
nourishment.. There is some reason to hopf: that it
will be practicable to secure the colliery of one of
the,seventy-fours, which will be extremely advan
tageous for the attack on the Isle of Leon.

A great • number Of pr;cedents were FOAL:, d in
support-__of-• their 'argifine.its, all tending to prove
that the- right lu question was-inherent in the House
from the very nature of its constitution. . .
Mr. 'Whitbread en&avoured to make a distinc-
tion bev.veen an attack. On an individual Member,
and an attack on the whole House.; but surely,
nothing can be more absurd than such a distinction.-
If' an Inditidu be libelled in his Parliamentary ca-
pacity, the whole House, participates, more or Jess,
in the consequ,:tices, and if the House takes cogni-
iance of the ()deuce, it is not out of resp,:ct
the individual attacked, but for the necessary par-.
pose :of maintaining its dignity ris a colleCtive body.
Tne';questinn,'in our hutnille opinion, lies in a very

sypeilor tieuetiation, we confess that we are-- sur-
prised it did not 'strike an Of the Members who
,spolt,- on rite subied in the saint: point of view as it

that Pnels. against Members of. Rrli.unent should be

are there for the Judges and Counsel to leer to, to
enable- them-to &finetbe offeitee,'ind to decide on
thaniode4of punishnient ? As no laws, theefore,.
appear 'on the:statute hooks for that purpoi,e, it is in
the Houie i.selt, which i the fiinntain of legal
power end wahority, that the priviloire ofeundem-
nation and punishment exis,s. kite douse, of Com-
mons, although the, third estne, 'forms the great.

be-surticiently'evident to all except ,thoe.who, fro.n
party ;i6, ot., worse and more dangtrous motives,
raise an outcry against the due exercise of its just,
lac-allies. .

The question •is truly an important one ; and so
far from thinking the agitation of it as tinfortufiate
at the present moment, we are convinced that it
will have the =mast salutary effects;' that it will
check the -daring incroachtnents of a revolutionary
spirit, and prevent it, from reaching that crisis-which
w*ild overthrow all legal authority -whattoevLr.—
When Mr. Sheridan asked if any Member present
