MOLL, Nov.'26.Yesterday se'nnight, at four
in the ,atternoon, a lugger privateer was seen cap-
turing a schooner off Flamborotigh Head. An ex-
press was 'difeet:y forwarded to this place with the
intelligence; and as soon atter the receipt of it as
practicable, the 114)odlark sloop Of war, Captain
WATTS, proceeded,from the Humber in pursuit of
the privateer and her prize. On Wednesday she
returned, having been una4le to fall in with them,
—The Lightning sloop of war,-however; was Wthe
fortunate. in corning tram the Baltic, with twu
prizes, she tell 'in with the privateei on Tuesday off
the Dogger Bank, and alter a chase of, ten ,hours,
in which the ,privateer carried away her foremast,
succeeded in 'capturing her,-and---brought- her into
the Humber on Wednesday evening: She is under
French colours, carries 14 guns and 60 'men. She
was yesterday brought up to this port. The
schooner was sunk by the enemy, shortly after her

capture.

Accounts from Oporto to thebth inst. brought by
thePersian' sloop of war, were received yesterday.—
The intelligence respecting/the military operations is
neither so recent nor so well authenticated as that
which has been received from Lisbon. It was re-
aod generally . believed at 0,/orto, that the
Frencti.had been repulsed in more than one attempt
to cross the Zezere; but at what points, or by what
description of force there appears to have been very
impeded information. The following letter, said.
be from Colonel TRANT to a friend at Oporto, was
transmitted from' theke. The writer of the letter
enclosing it has unfortunately omitted to state the
name of the person to whom it was addressed :
‘‘ MY FRIENA, " Coimbra, OCR. 23,

" .1 have news from Abrantes of the 24th, from
the Zezere of the same date, and the neighbour-
hood of Thomar to the, 26th. All the accounts
agree in stating, that the enemy. appeared desirous to
secure the means of their retreat by crossing the
Zezere, or by_ the high way of Cabacos and Figueiro
dos Vinitos, that is, by the way of Thomar (the old
road). The enemy are daily repuked from Pun-
hete, and from other parts of the Banks of the
zere.

" I have no news from Marshal BERESFORD more
recent t!ian the ‘2o,b, when he wrote me in full
confidence cot vittoiy, it the enemy should olli•r bat-
tle. But alp bough we have been in sight' of him for
ten days, he 'has not dated to molest us. It appears
from all we eau Collett, that the French are' much
disgusted with ti,e ennpaign, aid this they publicly
avow, .even in.the army itself.

gro, and on the 28th he summoned the town to
sum nder."

The Persian left Vigo as, late as the 21st inst. but
from thence she bas brought nothing new,

Recent advices from France state, that a paper
currency to a considerable extent was expeoted to
be issued, to supply ►he great scarcity of specie oc-
casioned by the heavy remittances to various parts
of Germany, to liquidate the duties on Colonial
produce.

paying the contributions, of tbe unfortunate winter
which is expeCted, and of the alarms on account of
the creation ot asignats. Among-those who have
any money, who are very few, and official people,
who are clamorous with hunger, you hear discus-
sions of some new plan or other, to prevent the
titled MArihals from laying hold of every thing, and
leaving them only to bark at the moon. You may
also see and hear, that the Ministers of Joseph have
neither charkter nor talent, and that they think of
nothing 'but keeping their places. Others speak of
the imprulence of many enlightened men, and ot
their Obstinacy m refusing to enter the lodges of
Freemasons; knowing that Joseph has done every
thing to foster them, because he has met with most
proofs of attachment from their members.

the daily papers preserve the most profound silence,

listen to the, inhabitants of the adjoining villages,

them the actions in Catalonia by General Q'Don--

and tinder the reign of a Philosopher, Grand-Master
of the Freemasons, we must at least, you will say,
have the liberty of printing what takes place in the

TARRAGONA, OCT, Excellency Don En-
rique O'Donnell has just transrnitted to the Provi•
siontil Congress a bispinch which he has received,
by.express, from the Marquis de Canipoverde, to
the following purpose :
" From the Field of Battle, near Sallagosa,
Sept. 29, ISzo.

" MOST EXCELLENT SIR—In compliance with
your Excellency's orders, and notwithstandirg the
enemy had received previous intellience, that a di-
vision was proceeding to attack them in Puigcreda, I
was enabled, by the, rapidity of my marches, to over-
take them, this morning at seven, within a league
and a half of the said town ; and -at present (eleven
o'clock) not wishing to delay the communieatiop of
such satisfattory intelligence, I can only inform
yaor Excellency from •the field of battle itself, that
the enemy, although •I had marched through the
greatest part of the plain of la Cerdague without
perceiving then., have been completely beaten,' in
every one of their positions, by the troops of the
division under my command, in such a manner
that the valour and discipline of the "lager leaving
nothing for me to wi,ii for, I have been gratified by
the sight of the disorderly and shameful flight over
the mountains of that very enemy who, to the num-
ber of two thooSand, bragged, on the preceding day,
that they would wait for me in the strong position
of Puigcerda, protected by their artillery ; but the
latter has remained in our hands, as well as a con-
siderable number of prisoners who are not all yet
come in, exclusive of a still greater number killed
and wounded, In short, I will send your Excel-
lency a detailed account of the whole, as soon as
time and circumstances permit, and I receive the
corresponding reports ; being enabled, in the. mean
time, to assure your Excellency that the whole di-
vision has behaved as well as you could wish. The
men are loaded with booty ; and quantities of arms,
ammuntion, and cattle of all kinds, have already
been, and will turther be secured. To-morrow and
the day atter I will allow the troops to rest, which
are tired by such ince'sslta marches ; and un the
following day I will proceed to the position which
I have mentioned to your Excellency, time to wait
for your orders. May God, etc.
