We have received the subsequent letter,' giving
some important information, both civil and mili-
tary _

GIBRALTAR, JULY 26.—The Deputies to the
Cortes from one,,of the Eastern Provinces (we be-'
licve Catalonia) have touched at this place for Ca-
diz. •We understand that General O'DONNELL in-
tends to be present'at the, meeting, although not in
any official capacity. He will arrive, if he come at
all, in a few days. Deputies from other provinces
have reached the Isle of Leon, where the Cortes is
to be assembled.

" King .1054P1i •has reached the neighbourhOod
of Valencia, with an army nearly jo,ooo' strong.—
The siege of Tarragona is to be begun immediately,
and .proSecuted with great vigour. The place -will
make.a long and strong resistance.
Letters from Madrid, dated. the beginning of
the month, mention, that only a sufficient number
of soldiers to preset %e the peace, remained there.—
There had been -a commotion at Alcala de Ulnares,
where some 20 Frenchthen fell. We know none
of the particulars, .but We suppose that the peoplewere exasperated at their cruelties:
". The enemy before Cadiz is so weak, that the
siege might easily be raised with the assistance of
the force in the rear under LACY. "ibis is a fine
opportunity for a struggle, while MAsNENA keeps
inactive 100,000 men ;
,but the Sp:niards do nut
know how to improve such fair _occasions. There
is not a man iii Andalusia that is not asferocious as
a cannibal if be catch..a Frenchman. It is a pity
that about 17,000 of the enemy, at the utmost,
should overawe a population of some millions in
that province."
