The Rosetti, SCARTH, from Sr.. Vincent's, is
stranded on the Spit, in the Bristol Channel, and
deserted by the crew.
The Betsey, WEDGE, from Martinique for Lon-
don, started-a plank at sea, and was•abandoned by
the crew.
The Hope, BUTLER, and the Icarro, Smirn, have
been re-taken and carried into Malta.
• Admiral FREENANTLE is to hoist his flag in the
Mediterranean.
We have been favonred with the folloping ex-
tracts of letters from Malta and Gibraltar. They
contain• every event of any importance that had oc-
curred .or was known at either of these placesso :—
MALTA, JUNE 20.—We look for the packet
from England with- great anxiety. No convoy
homeward is yet appointed here. It will, •per-
haps, he named before the close of next mouth.,
• " The fears in Sicily, respecting an attack from.
the enemy, are greatly subsided. A strong rein-
forcement to the naval
,force, and the additional
4,000 troops brought in, the Ganymede's Convoy,
have placed that Island, in a state of security. The
French. boats are destroyed daily. The Salsette fri-
gate is expected from the Dardanelles with Mr.
ADAIR, on leave of absence. She was to sail about
the end of (his month. She will proceed to Eng-
land without waiting for convoy. The Exchange
combines very high to-day." -
"GIBRALTAR, JULY 24.—The Black Joke cut-
ter was taken in a calm by two large privateers, and
carried into Algiers. She was charged with dis-
patches from Constantindple and Malta, as well as
with overland dispalChes from India,, There are
twenty-four privateers of the same description,
mostly commanded' by worthless, Genoese, which
cruise between Oran and Bona. They have taken
the Fingal, a line vessel, which sailed from hence
about three weeks ago. A beautiful American brig,
the Amphitrite, which left
.here about the same time,
has shared the same We; also many others.
" The Prince Ernest packet is considered in'great
peril; she will be an excellent prize for their, if
they fall in with her, having an immense quantiiy of
dollars on board. The Comes is arrived from Al-
giers, with the Portuguese Admiral SCARNICHIA OR
board. He has ptirchased a peace with the lley,in
behalf of the Portuguese, for two years, for which
he is to pay 900,000 dollars. He proceeds from
hence to Lisbon, in the Comns, for the money; as it
is to be paid immediately. •Mr. CASSAMAJOR, who
accompanied the Portuguese Admiral to Algiers, is
also arrived here, and,' believe, will proceed with
him to Lisbon."

Letters from Tarragona, dated July 1, speak with
perfect confidence as to thei.r, means of resisting any
attack on the part of the French. It was computed
that it would require between thirty and forty thou-
sand men to invest and lay regular siege to that
place ; and the numbers of the enemy in. that and
the adjoining provinces were not supposed to excred
15,000 men. The fortifications of Tarragona tiqcl
been much improved and enlarged. ,

passed the night; anti this moining the
\`llole division, equally unmolested by the enemy,
eelt treated' to this, town and the village of Chete. As
le action of the second &Ir was very long, and
maintained with obstinacy On' both sides, though the
eu"illy-was'continuatly repulsed, our hiss could not
but be considerable, relgard being had to the tide-
'
„'citity of our numbers. The Captains of Grenadiers

the Ist of Valencia an& Savoy, D. Pettit) Garcia

'he former mortally ; four subalterns, and Ircin 40
setjeants,-. corporals, and privates, were also
iiw▪ olluded and there were ,about (20 rank and
killed. The cavalry had three or four men wound-

%nts trout the Province of Biscay, under date of

r` On the Bth of May a regiment of Voltigeurs,
LQusisting of 1200 effective men, entered Iron, of
these from 8 to 900 were Spaniards. They had no

upofr terms; among theSe were only four Spaniards,
the rest being Germans, Pales, &c. It should be
observed that there were only (iO. Spaniards with the
regiment', by the time it reached Victoria. On the
3d inst. there was a skirinish between some of the
-light parties and the enemy, in the pass between
Mendragon and.Elorrio, named Champanzar.
..The
person who gives this information says„ that he
saw,.the day atter, the dead bodies of seven French-
men. carried through the pass. The parties in the
environs of Estella lately had a brush with the
French, in which they killed a considerable number
of them, andJnade about 50 prisoners. Longa's

detachment to the very gates of Victoria. It was
reported iu Vidoria, and there are a number of lei-
ters,tending to confirm the rumour, that a very rich
convoy, going from Madrid to Bayonne, had been
intercepted at Lerma. The French couriers do not
enjoy a moment's Security. Not one of, them can
prosecute their journey without 'an escort, From
the middle of April to the end of May,i there were
no less than five couriers killed between Monclragon
and Vi&oria."

LISBON, :JULY braVe patriotic parties
are,spread all over Navarre and the Rioja, and are
•constantly engaged in confliCtS with the Vandals,
no less obstinate than glorious to the Spani,sh arms.
Several Officers belonging to the parties of D. Fran-
cisco Espoz and Mina; the successor of the intrepid
student of that name, have brought in t i 8 prisoners
'to the Junta, of Arragon. Seigniors Echavarria,
Ayala, and Garces, who aEt under the latter Chief,
having asseinbled a body of 500 infantry, and
120 horse, attacked,' on the lgth May, 460 of the
enemy's infantry- and cavalry at Peralra; and Corn-'
pleirly routed them, with the loss of 90 killed,. an
hrnhense number wounded, 30 priSollerS, •;:ltid- a
great quantity of baggage. The Spaniards' pursued
them as for-as the bridges of Caparraso and Lodosa;
but the latter being occupied by 400 French, the
Spaniards tell back in the dircetion of Fakes, where
a corps of 500 of the • enemy had just arrived.—
They were already pillaging toe place, and had
commenced their usual barbarit,es by putting three
of the inhabitants to death, when the Patriots un-
expectedly, tell upon them, and pursued them half-
way to,Caparroso. Night coming on put an end to
the action, and the Spaniards retreated to Lerin,
hating lust five killed, one drowned, and 7 Wound-
ed,
Several Germans' and Poles deserted to them
,
uurinv the action,

BADAJOS, JULY 21.—The army in this vicinity
has advanced to occupy the most .advantageous po-
sitions in that province.
About the commencement of the current month
there was an attioa at Paredes,. two. leagues from
TatanCon,. in which D. Juan Martin's corps de-
feated the enemy with the loss. 01.400 killed, and
200 prisoners, with very little loss on our side.--L,
Upwards of too carts arrived at Madrid with the
enemy's wounded. • . , • -

Villa-Campa has upwards of 10,000 cavalry and
infantry wider leis command in Cuenca. It is not
known whether Bassecourt, his predecessor in com-
mand, is to be employed hvany other quarter.
A French courier, with 116' eseori, have been
killed at Nievas by a party of patriots ; and the
mail,Arhich they bad with them has,:beensecured.
The party was commanded by a female, who has
acqUirtd such dexterity in the use of arms, that she
actually fired two shots for one: that bet followers
discharged;

We are informed that on the 6th, King Joseph,
preparatory to his departure from Madrid, put in
rcquisition 600 coaches, and other light vehicles,
with 400 waggonS.. This. intelligence, with the an-
nexed article froM Madrid, we have received from
a quarter entitled to the highest credit. It should
seem thatjoSeph either is disposed to risk his person
no Itting-er in a contest which appears to beas endless
as unavailing ; or that his brother has ordered him
to take up his residence elsewhete :—such is the
authority peSseS-sed- by, and the respell shewn to,
the Sovereigns "who' are indebted to him for their
political existence.
MADRID, JULY s.—Couneds of State and of
the Generals are held daily., and the ,despair that
preys upon their hearts is visible in their countenances.
Cartioges are every day taking the road to Castile,
and few days. pass without the arrival-of carts filled
with wounded soldiers. Great quantities of effects
Of all sorts are selling in the Retiro. The lies they
circulate are in proportion-to the advantages we ob-
tain, and they are constantly telling us of the armies
that are entering Spain; and the defeats and deser-
tions of the Spaniards, not even sparing the names
of the most ardent patriots ; but the inhabitants of
this city, ever ,true, to the cau%e of their country,
interpret their language in its just sense. There is
a rumour of the intended departure
,Joseph,
winch is completely confirmed by the preparations
that are going forward." .
BADAJOS, JuLy 17.—A letter from Madrid of
the :.*7.th ult. received by a person of respeet:inility;
contains the following particulars Tins day a
grand convoy of carriages and wagons, %nil a suit-
able escort, and a number of private individuals, set
off for France.. T 4.0 or three of • the five or six
Generals whom Buonaparte has sent torio all haste,
are said to have accompanied it. As the departure
of this cotp.oy has for some time put been expected,
due notice has been forwarded to the parties in
Castile. A number of officers who had assembled
in the Retiro, to set off with the 'convoy, have re-
turned to their_ lodgings, declaring that they will
only leave Madrid along with their respective regi,
.ments, which are. to march in about a week. This
agrees with the report that Joseph is to set out on
or about the sth of next'month, and to take all the
effeCtive troops with him, leaving the gates under
the care of the poor invalids; and,the town in the
hands of the burghers."
