ADAJOZ, MARcH 29.—His Excellency the Mar-
quis ftotrAtia., General in Chief of the Army of the
left, bas transmitted the following report , to the
Supreme Junta .
" Major-General Don F: BALLESTEROS ‘bas re-
ported to me under yesterday's date, from the en-
virons Of Penquilla, that the troops under his orders
have completely defeated the French and dislodged
them from all the neighboutiring points of 'Santa 01-

alla, and the strong position of Huelva, with very
considerable loss, that he was prevented by a very
heavy fall of rain from pursuing them any further,
but that he should do so as soon as the weather be-
came somewhat better."
Ltsßorg, Aran. 2.—We have witnessed for se-
veral days the disembarkation of numerous English
troops, .foot, horse, and artillery, who have lately
arrived to reinforce the artily with which his Britan-
nic -Majesty supports the defence of this kingdom
and Spain. We are not yet acquainted with the
exa6l number of these troops, but in order that our
readers may be able to form an idta of the generous'
efforts of the British nation, we inert a further-state-
ment of the nutnber of English ships which brought
those excellent troops, and entered the port of this
city, from the 25 t h to the 3 1 st of last month

The warlike appearance, arms, accoutrements,
and discipline of these brilliant troops are truly ad-
mirable, and perfectly equal to all the other corps.
which are already found in this kingdom.
This grand army, after it shall have formed a junc-
tion. with the Portuguese army, will make the num-
ber of troops destined for the defence of this kingdom
amount to upwards of 100,000 mep, besides 48 regi-
ments of Militia in the best possible condition. These-
_
respeaable and numerous foices also enjoy the ad-.
vantage which is of eittreme importance in the present
state of affairs, that the opPrations of the whole army
are directed by one sole Geueral in Chief, an advantage
Which considerably increases' its strength; by pre-
venting the baneful results of party influence and
di~uuiort. (Lisbon Diary, of April 2.)
CORUNNA, MARCH 22.—1 t is_reported as a cer.-
tain faa, that Marshal NEY has retreated to Jamoin
with the remainder ofhisCorps,amountitig to no more

than 3000 men, and that the English have entered
Salamanca, jointly with the corps of Don CARRERA.
—(Lisbon Diary; April 4.)
BADAJO,Z, MARCH 31.—According to the state-
ment of a respectable and well-informed person,
the loss sustained by the division commanded by
Major-General BALLESTEROS in the late frequent
:talons in Sierra Murena does . not exceed two
hundred men in killed, wounded, and prisoners,
taken by the enemy, while that of the latter
amounts at least to 500. The enthusiasm which
animates these gallant troops exceeds all conception.
Gallicia his aLpresent an excellent manufa6ture of
fire-arms, managed by armourers from Biscay, in-
vited to Andaluiia by the late Central Junta before
it was dissolved.
BADAJOZ, APRIL 2.—The French division which
left Merida for the Tagus has changed its tnoyements,.
and is said to be at Alisceda and its- vicinity, with
some artillery of a small calibre. The division un-
der the command of General. BALLESTEROS is said
to have conquered all the points of the Sierra and
thrown the French at SeVille into consternation, so
that we hope the standards of FERDINAND VII. will
soon wave there, or if to prevent that, the enemy's ,
divisions. should leave the posts, that the army "
of Cadiz and the Island will make a sally,-and sur-
round anddestroy them.

fied his readines, not only to supply that place with
bullocks on the usual terms, bit also Cadiz and
Gibraltar..

'The followinf;r, is a striking instance of the in-
cieased value of landed property in the period of
