INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN.
[FROM THE MONITEUit.)

" -Marshal the Prince of Essling- having received
information that the English army was in motion,
sent a strong redonnoitering party in the diredion
of Fort Conception, with orders to push on as far
as Almeida: The English had Lid mines to blow
up the fort, which they had no inclination to defend
against the troops to which the fortress of Ciudad
Rodrigo had so recently surrendered at discretion.—
They. accordingly fired them at the approach of the
reconnoitering party, and evacuated a post which
advantageously supported Almeida. The explosion
was not 'general, two bastions Only having been
damaged. The Emperor's troops occupy the
fort, which can be easily and speedily put in the
best state of defence. The fortress of Almeida is
invested.

" General Sebastiani has reported, under date of
the 29-4 June, that an expedition which tie had di:
rettea upon. C.istril, on the frontier of Murcia, bad
completely destroyed a body of insurgents that had
been joined by a detachment of regular hoops from
Murcia; not a min of awn' escaped, all having
been either killed or taken. In consequence Of this
expedition, %everal towns, such a Huesca,
&c. sent deputations to declare their suunnission,
and their tesolution of defending themselves against
the insurgents, should they again make their ap;-
pearauce. Every thing goes on wed in the province
of Granada.,

Some bands of marauders, expelled from La
Mancha by 'General Lorge, threw themselves be-
hind the Sierra Morena, to the southward, in the
Province of Corcluvo. Toe Chief- of Battalion,
Poinchevalle, of the 51th regiment, marched in
pursuit of them, dispersed them, caused them to
abandon the cattle they had colleated, and kilted
abeut 60.0 f them. The civic guards of. the villages
cnnduL•ted themselves with much zeal upon.this oc-
casion. '

" A galliot belonging to the enemy, bound to
Cadiz with a cargo of colonial produce, was cap-
tured eleven leagues in the offing by a vessel belong-
ing to our, flotilla, in sight of the English. Captures
of this sort take place daily off Cadiz, Malaga, &c.
Nine of their boats, with 14 men on. board each,
were lately taken, as they were endeavouring to ap-
proach Puerto Real.
" On the 20ih July Corporal Aubertine, of the
7th auxiliary battalion,, as' he was escorting a cou-
rier with a party of 30 men, was suddenly attacked
by a body of 200 brigands. He formed his dispo-
Sitions so judiciously, and his small 'tarty directed
their fire with such effeEt, that the enemy lost eight
men killed, a greater number wounded, and were
finally beaten off, after a confliM of two hours.
" On the tith June, the Chief of Squadron of
Gendarmerie, D'Hahnont, With a few toot Gen-
darmes of the 14th squadron, a detachment of the
11511 i regiment, and a company of Spanish Gen-
darmes, arrived at three o'clock in the morning at
the hermitage of Viguero, near Adagana, where,
according to information, One Dun Pedro, a Bri-
gand Chief, dreaded all over the country for his
exactions and cruelties, ha'si appointed a rendezvous
with several of the subaltern .chiefs of his gang,
to communicate to them certain instructions which
Ile bad received from Cadiz. The het-mirage was
forced, and Don Pedro, with six of his Officers and
eight more of the banditti, fell into the hands of
D'Halmont."

NAPLES, JULY 2.--The sth marching battalion,
consisting of 1000 recruits, set out from this city on

"Eighty sail, including frigates, brigs, corvettes,
and gun-boats, stood over at day-break.for our line
