ANDALUSIA, GRENADA, MURCIA.

On the •I'sth. of July, GenerA Rey attacked a
'-corps of the insnrt4ents in the mountains of Ronda,
killed 4000 men„— dispersed it entirely, and took
some prisoners, among which wa, Colonel Va:di-
via, the leader of thz; band. Tiie corps that dis-
embarked at Algesiras, and which advanced towards
the mountains to support the inswgents, and to
protect the transport Ofprovisions to Cadiz, Was met
and defeated by General Girard. The remains of
this corps embarked at-Essepona, which was enter-
ed by our •troops..
The greatest disorder prevails in MUrcia. The
leaders of the insurrection are quarrelling 'about
precedency. General Freyre has caused Calvacheto
be arrested, and the former is to be superseded in
his command.,

. -The preparations for the siegk of Cadiz are clam-.
pleted. A spy brings intelligence, that on the isth
instant; there was a great revolution. in the town, in
which General Ca.tanos and several MeMbers of
the' Junta %vere killed. Depu?ies from Vera Cruz,
and ,other settlem,:nts in America, had reached
• Cadiz, who had declared that for the future the
party of insurgents .was to expectno assistance front
the colonies.

0 the t 2th:of July, an English brig, laden wilh
wine, and navigated by 16 men, was captured by,
sonic esseli belonging to the, flotilla.
The most perfect tiattquil?ty prevails in the in-,
terior of Andalusia ; the inhabitants are every day
acquiring a knowledge of their real interests.

, .GALLICIA.-
.0n the 29th July, General Count Serras attacked
the tort of Sanabria, in which there were 3000 Spa-
riards. This post is important because it commands
the entrances into Portugal, and shuf.; up the cow-
. ITILMICatioIIS with 031licia. Lord Wellington had
enjoined the Spanish Governer to niake an obsti-
nate defence. The Governor replied. " My Lord,
Sou require me to shut myself up in the fort at Se-
. nabria with my 3000 Spaniards, On an 'assurance
' that you will redeye me. Yon told the Command-
ant at Ciudad 'Rodrigo, that if he held out twenty
days you would come to his relief, He held but
for twice that time, and. you did not keep your
word. It is then evident that you intend to do no-
thing fur unhappy Spain. In order to foment divi-
sions in it, you hold out hopes of assistance to it
that are never realized. The French being provided
ith heavy artillery, it will be impossible for me to
make a long detence. Notwithstanding, I will
shut myself up in the fortress, and bury myself un-
der its ruins, if yoo will send one Enghshman for
two Spaniards to assist in' defending. it. Send
me tcoo British, and I will bring witlr me 2000
Spaniards."
me answer of Lord Wellington' may be easily.

The Duke of Elchingen 6rs completely invested

who have induced 'you to' take up anus.. Portuguese,

done - for you that you endure her troops on your
native soil ? She haS destroyed your inanulattures,
ruined your commerce, paralyzed-your industry, for
thesOle purpose of sending iirto.your country arti •
Iles of her own. manufacture, and making you her
tributaries. What does she do at present that you
should embrace the unjust cause which has loused
the whole of the Continent *against tier ? She

pleCe..your misfortunes and her insatiable ambition,
she sends her 'ships into your ports to transport to
her colonies such of- you as may esca;.e fitain the
dangers to which she has exposed you on .the Con-
tinent: Does not the conduCt of her artily before
Ciudad Rodrigo sufficiently explain to you. what you
are to expeCf horn bU.O 1 allies? • Did they not ett•
courage the garrison and the unfortunate inhabitants
of that fortress, by,deceitfUl promises, and lid,thcy
discharge a single musket to assist thern ? , Agam ;
lately have they placed any of their troops in Al-
except a Commander who is there to in-

strength, and genius receive the grateful praises. of
so wady nations, 4iSlies-th-e4tablish your prosperity.
Put yourselves • under his- proteatiori. Receive his

The Uncertain state of the Drury-lane company,
(for we do not find:that the union bet,,veen the-pro-

and she is to perform there during the ensuing seae
son, the last in which she ever means to appear on
theatrical boards.- .

• SUttIiEY•THEATitE.-In conformity to the plan,
introduced by Mr. .ELLI;ToN at this place, of con-
verting popular dramas intogurlettas, the Comedy
of A Bold Stroiw fur a Wife, metamorphosed in
01i:4,n-tanner, was last nigh; represented for the.first
lime. The reinou!ding ofthis piece is attributed 10
Mr, T. thaw N. The chief incidents and points in
the•dialogue were retained, and the work altogether
was as entertaining as it could. perhaps .be rendered
under such a deviation from its original form. It
had.the recommendation of some excellent music
from CONDELL, among which a trio and a
_pat-tato were particularly admired, A Mr. SAUN■•
DERSON'aIsO contributed some of the music, which
does credit to his taIents.•—.ELLISTON displayed Brea
spirit, as well as versatiiity,.in the part of Feignwell,
and the piece altogether was very well received.--
We think it necessary to notice one fault, which is
common to all the Theatres, viz: delivering the
verses without any regard to the rhyme. This
proceeds from a mistaken idea of giving the sense
ot the author but the author may as well write
blank verse, it his rhymes are wholly disregarded,
and a judicious performer always deliver what
allotted to bun with an aitentiott to the language
,as. well as to the sentiments. The. House wits
crowded.
