ing intelligence has been received :
" Since-the 23(1 inst. Astorga is formally invested
by a force, consisting of from 10 to 12,000 men,
comaianded by JUNOT. 'On the 15th some, skit.,

iu Oallicia are-not very numerous. 1 •
• " Done A&Toisno ARCS, ‘Captaiti-Genial of
Astoria, has proceeded to Badajoz, and the few troops
who are in that PrinCipality are commanded by Gel
neral PONTE. The Marquesito (a Spanish partizan),
endeavours to collect a small force',7 but the whole
tract of country, as. far as the River Narcea, is occu.-
pied by the French on the left banks of the Douro ;
small parties of the enemy's troops ,continue. now
and then to make their appearance."
BADAJOZ, AritiL 4.—PIJY4A'S division, com-
posed of 6,900 foot and 600 horse, arrived in Me-
rida on the 2d inst. and on the following day moved
from thenCe in-the'diredion of Villa Nova de la Se-
rena, whither it was to proceed by forced marches.
The light troops of lte...vart...guard of Brtra.asTEttos's
„army arrived :on the Ist inst. in Azualoollas; front
which place the Commander, Don J.- VALLADAIigS
sent *an official intimation to the Municipality of Se-
ville, to haVe the next day 3800 rations in readiness
for the use of the Spanish army which is on its
march to"that capital.

On the 27th of last month ,4000 French marched.
from Seville to Chapatro, where the head-quarters
of the-French:are. established, which is opposed .to
that of BALLESTEROSi whose head-quarters are still
in Ronquillo. In La Mancha are several flying par
ties, some of them of considerable strength, which
greatly harass and Molest the enemy's troops.
Letters are this moment received from Seville of
the 30th ult. which contain the, foll Owing irtelli

" In this capital and its suburbs more than 2000
Frerich have met their fate; in Quintillana the Dili-
litia of the provinCe and some flying patties weie
lately engaged with the enemy, whose loSs was con-
siderable. MORTIEt informed the Municipality that
he should perhaps order the bridge to be broken
down. JOSEPH BUONAPARTE has returned to Caro-
lina. . It is said that VICTOR'is on the point of leav-.
Mg the Isle of Leon for Coruntia."
CADIZ, MARCH 22..---The head citiarters of the
army have been removed to the Ruyal Isle of Leon.
The enemy is still working at.tho entrenched camp
in the environs of 'the Castle of S. Catharine; it
forms a square with several salient points in front.

It is reported that 900 rreuch who eneeted their
escape from -Ronda, have fallen vittirns to the imble
fury of intrepid Patriots.

Letters lately receive;! 'from Gibraltar state, that
the flame, of, Patriotism is. spreading far and wide
through • the mountainous : disarie3s.of Ronda, :the
inhabitants of which leave theh families and homes,
and take up arms to pursue and destroy the Fiench,
who ,had the audacity to penetrate into those parts,
Murabella, Ronda, and o,:una, -are free, _and their
recapture offers many opportunities to destroy the
enemy, who; full of terror, is flying,in tvery direr
Lion. - The insulted King fled from Mahaga on the
t3th instant, •at seven o'clock in the Morning. The
recapture of Ronda and .Nlarabella greatly contd,
buted to. his flight. • •
The Superior Junta of Government has publish6cl
an account, by :which it appears that the gallant and
intrepid patriots, whose flying partiel keep the enemy
in a continual state of &arm, lately attacked' and
defeated. a 'consicierabl:•! detachMent of the enemy's
troops on the road leataing from St.. Glala to Ron-
quill°. The French losa consisted in 30 killed-and
18 wounded, The enemy has also lately been
routed in the vicinity of
,Valverde.

BADAJOZ, APRIL 6.—General BALLESTOROS has
transmitted the followirig ,report to his ExcLilency
the'Marquis RomANA :

--‘‘ At nine o'clock, the fire havipg continued with-
out intermission, it evid&ttly appeared that the
enemy began to retreat.. Being closely pursued as
far as Rio Huella, he halted and engaged our advanc-

ed parties, which being supported, by the regiment
of Conger, commanded by Lieutenant .Colo.
Hid on P. DEGAR (the Colonel having the
conimand of a column) and other detachments of
dirferent.corps, whiCh fought in line for three hours
together .with the' utmost intrepidity and valour
they kept their ground, and the enemy found it
altogether impossible to regain one single inch of.
_the territory which has just been relieved from his
scourge.

" In this state of things, I discontinued the pur-
suit, because my, troops'stood:much in need of food,
and of some repose. The ground gained by hard
righting is still in our power, and I did not retrograde
an inch. The enemy's advanced parties are in sight
Of Mine ; all the troops under my command •are iii
the highest spiri,:s, worthy of the Spanish name, and
continually desirous ,to engage the enemy, whose
loss in the above engagement was considerable ; ours
Cannot yet be ascertained, as- I _have not not yet re-
ceived the returns from the different corps. •
Briga'dier-General Drin S. S. Da CONTRA'R
Commander in Chief of the first division of Es!re-
madura, contributedmuch to the success of our ape-
rations, by the prudence and energy he displayed on
the occasion, and which are worthy of the highest
ppise. • _ _

" On the 24412,u1t. atter the, first division of Es,
tramadura had formed a junction with me, 1 de-
termined .to attack the enemy in St. o.lalla,
marching-in. different Columns, and one of which
put itself in motion on the 24th . at night, and
the other• on the 25th at break of day ; but the

weather became so tempestuous that I found
myself at two- o'clock in the morning; to
suspend the march. At eight o'clock, the weather
clearing up a little, I pot my Corps again in motion
for St. Olalla, where I arrived at half past two, and
learned that the enemy had marched, at se'veh o'clock,
R 'again°, with. a force comeosed of
.d5OO foot,
and 500 horse. P,uing desi;ails to come up wittt
him, I.:ordered-the parties to reach Ronrkeillo
the same ever„ins;4ad to begin harassing the Frentit,

within two leagues of that place where I halted...

The Badajoz Papers of the 6th of
,April contain;'
besides a report of General' BALLESTERO3. (given hit
the preceding article), another from Brigadier-Ge-
neral CONTRERAS, in which he says, that' the
enemy was t o.be attacked on the 30th of last +milt h,
in order to dislodge him from the whole tract of
,ground stretching from Huelon to the heights, of
Chaparro.--,(ldem.)

We haVe received accounts from Jamaica, to the
sth March, and .extraa the following from the
Kingston Royal Gazettes to that date. .
" From the information derived from the
schooner, General Rowing, which arrived. on
Friday se'nt\ight, of her having •seen thb French
,frigate, which was lately engaged, by the Rainbow
and. Avon, the Admiral dispatched the Brazen sloop
of war, of 16 gulls, Capt. Shepheard, the only ves7
set of war in host capable of proceeding directly to
sea, in (pest of, her on Saturday morning.. The
Brazen was got ready with extraordinary celerity,
not having a top-fnast standing at :three P. M. the
preceding day,.,and besides. her own `crew, about
lorry or. Ifly men mere sent on board of her, froth
other ye,sels.'!

FrOM 5111;i3equent information, it appears, that
the Oove frigate is not the oily enemy's vesselfiat

Swedish schooner, trained the Carola, from, Aux-
Cayes, 'bound to St. Bartholomew's, with sundries,
detained by the Thrush sloop of war, of 18 guns,
arrived on Saturday, apd.hreught advice from Cap-
tain Curnby, df the Polyphemus, which ship she fell
in with d.few days before, of his having gained in-
telligence of four French frigates being seen in the
Mona Passage. The Hebe frigate, of 32 guns,
Capt. Fyif-, and the Fire-Fly trig, of 12* guns,
Lkiut.,,BOyd, arrived at I?9rt Royal Saturday,
from Curacoa. O their nearing the harbour, they
were ordered to prepare for sea_ immediately, and
-a2cordingly they victualled on Saturday afternoon,
