ABSTRACT OF THE cOREE,PONDENCE OF THE DIFFE-
RENT GENERALS tiP THE ARMIES OF SPAIN AND
PORTUGA L.--(antinUed.)

" General Sebastiani reports that the expedition
against the insurgents of the Alpojarias, has been
completely successful. The English had been,abie
to coiled in those mountains a body of about 4000
men, which they supported by t‘No of the line.
Generals Belair and Oudinot, however, have com-
pletely defeated this corps. About 2U Spanish offi-
cers have surrendered themselves ; among them is
the Chief of the Staff, and Director of the opera-
tions of Brigadier Calvache, the head of this insur-
rection. Its general, the nettei•-informed Spaniards,
and those who have nothing to expect from disturb-
ance, are abandoning the cause of the insurgents.
The English were interested in the insurredion of
the Alpujarras, nor only in order to cherish di, spi-
rit of revolt, but also to enable them to procure the
lead, which the-mimes in those mount sins produce.
" General Sebastiant's plan .of operations not .per-.
mitting him to•leave his troops in the pro Vince of
Murcia, whence he had expelled a force of more
than 15,000 men, some bands that had come rtim
Valeotia succeeded in again forming a few corps' in
that province. General Sebastiani consequently.
held himself in readiness to take the field again with
his troops, and to tall upon the enemy as soon as'
their movements should assume somewhat ot a more
decided character, and give-him hopes of being able
to bring them to attion ; but these assemblages hav-
in:), dissolved of themselves, Gem:nal Sebastiani con-
fine himself to the preparing, at. 11,1 daga, ot a swan.
b.?sieging train Tot • regu:.ir attack
rot Fort Nia—
bella., in front of. which General !ley had alrc .dy
taken ground, a,.:11 to t...e detaching o: strong ptries
in the direction of Hvescar, Velez-et-11,1bn), and
Vera; i!0 the rest, all is I,erferil) in tae pro-
ot Gremida. The parishes are raising volun-
teer companies to pursue • the baniitti, and several
Fly:deers, equipped in the ports of that province*
are daily htingitig .prizes. nom eign to ten vil-
lages, in the mountains b. tweet) Antequera and Ma-
laga, recen•ly en ,red. tut 6 an agle, me,it to make a
gen rat pursuit atte'r, and to clesro'y all the male-
factors that should be found lurking in their district.
".Toe parishes of the mountains of Ronda de-
fend themsdveS,,a3/113( the band of insurgents when
th..y make their appedratlce, or send detachments
in pursuit of those who are at a distance from their
territories.

" Col. Bau;sain, of ihe 43d regiment, who com-
mands at Ronda, havitig, on the 13th June, ie.
coved intormation of the arrival, at iThrique, of a
w skeletons of Spanish regiments, mot,ed forward
in the night, 'and armed in front of the place by
day-break. He:instantly caused it• to be surround-
ed and attacked. Tk Spaniards had 120 men
; the rest disperSed, abandoning the depots
of arms, ammunition, and saddles, which the in-
surgents had procured (ruin Gibraltar., with the view
of attempting to raise a corps. • These articles were
burnt..

„ .
"pn the 18th, Captain DaimOnt, of the 55th re-
giment, wil h a'detacurnent, of his company, and the
guards of Alpandete surprised a party of 150 mount-
ed smugglers, at the foot of the hills of Lope-Al-
varez, killed a part of them, dispersed the .remainder,
and made prize of theii horses and the whole of
their booty, which was divided among the French
soldiers arid the eiv•c guards.
"The reports of -General Oudinot, relative to the
provinces of Cordova and lien, are, in every repect,
satisfactory. I',lte province of Seville shews an exam.
pie to the rest. The nobility, land holders, and clergy,
are now fully convinced, that it is peculiarly their
interest that good-order should be re-established .nd
maintained. .

"-Another Spanish hull:, the Argonauta, Which
was employed as an hospital ship, and which had
on boat(' 050 sick French prisoners, stranded in the
night ,of hie f'sth of M fy, near Matagorda. It was
the sick thena,eixes that cut the cables. The enemy,
while she was drifting, made eve'', effort to sink
her by cannon shot, or. to set tire. to her. The sol-
diers of the Ist corps again, distinguished thernsifives
upon the occ.ision, by their zealous exertioits'
serve their distressed comrades. - •

In Cadiz and the Isld of Leon there is an
avowed misunderstanding,between the English and
the Spaniards. The former have possessed them-
selves of the. park of artillery, and planted guns to
file upon the, people, from whom they apprehend a
rising. Pro►isions there are excessively dear ; emi-
gration begins to take place ; and there can be no
doubt that all the merchanis will leave the place,
which is a prey to all the horrors of war, discord,
famine, and disease. •

" There are also numeraus emigrations from Cir-
thagena. According to a.dvices from GibraltaT and
Cadiz, three Spanish sail of the line, that had left
that port with a number .Of families, intending -to,
quit the country, were stopped •by the English, and •
are detained in .the bay of Algeziraso• The Junta of
Cadiz,has in vain made applications for their restitu-
twit. The English declare that they intend to keep
them as hostages. This incident has considerably
increased the dis.conttuts of the. othabitantspf Cadiz,
woo,.at length, begin to perceive that the English,
11'1 co-operating in their defence, have no other.
motive but"that of self-interest.

"The operations of the siege of Cadiz are carried
on with the greatest activny. The .posts on the
rightland left have been approximated ; new batteries
have been mounted ;. Puerto • Real is placing in a
state of defence; the equipment of
.gun-boats and
bomb-vesiels k expediting; and as soon' as the rte-
c;gsary stores are collected, .the enemy's squadro4
will be completely driireri from the-roadstead.
