KINCIONI OF MURCIA.

ALI CA JULY 28.—The uncle and worthy GllC-
ccs-or of •the immortal Mina, in the command of
hi, party, has routed 800 Govachos*, in the neigh-
bourhood of Patnpeluna, taking 400 prisoners,
three pieces of cannon, one howitzer, and four
waggons of ammunition, NMI many other articles
of value..
Auonsr I.—The following is an extra& from a
letter from Navarra, to an inhabitant of.this town—
" I enclose to you the Gazette, NuMber 14
and 15, there are more of thew, but they have
not reached us, on account of the couriers having
been intercepted by the Guerrillas, who now often
exhibit an
.eittiaordinary vigour' and increased
numb,Ts." ,

The uncle of Mina, whom the double-tongued
Gazettes of Gauachos gave up for dead at the Venta
de Reubria, has resuscitated with such vigour, that
after 'hat ing beaten the French in Peralta, Ostella,
the Carascal, &c. in which actions he killed and
ma-le prisoners more than 1000 men, and took 1000
cavalry sabres, a great quantity of clothes, various
carriages with cartouches, and two pieces of can-
non. A few days past he had the boldness to de-
re ind rations at Pampeluni. The Magistrates,
alarmed at the message of Mina, presented it to the
Governor Dufour, who ordered that what be tasked
should be immediately given him.
'Mina, seeing the favourable result of this de-
mand, has since required from the same town 700
ounces of gold, threatening, in case of a dental, to
.cot off the water from the fountains, and to seize
the numerous flocks provisioning the city. From
that time the communications were intercepted,
and some couriers were yes'erday compelled to turn
back, after having got within about three leagues,
the Guerillas having prevented them from pro-
ceeding farther. From this may be inferred the
aspe6t which affairs are assuming, and also how
the charatter of the Navarrians is beginning to un-
fold itself..
AUGUST 6.—Letters, under the date of the 23d
of July, from Seron, .a town of the Province of
Soria, states, that according to some accounts re-
ceived there, the French, after leaving Brihuega„
encountered with a party under Manco;. and adds,
that the party took from them 500,000 reals, which
they were escorting.
AUGUST 10.—The garrison of Cobarrubias, in the
Province of Burgos, has been surprized by the party
of the brave Durates Merino and Sulaza. Of 112
men, including five officers and seven serjeants, the
whole were killed, except thirty, who were made
pt isoners.
AUGUST 11.—On the 2d of last month Don Jose
Caro reached Peniscola, accompanied by Meld Mar-
shals Don Juan Caro, and the Senores Carvajal,
OeDonnoju and Cabret. On the 4th, at six in
the morning, they proceeded towards Alcala, where
the eight pieces of cannon, which were sent froM
Valencia under the command of Colonel Arce, were
to arrive on the same day. According to the dispo-
sition which have been made, it is expe6ted that
the Valencian army will soon operate with vigour
against the enemies of Tortosa, which place re-
mains unappalled; for, though the enemy have
eenstrueled a covered way near the head of the
bridge, from which they molest the town with
triuseeetry, they have not yet been able to mount
cite piece of artillery against it.
General O'Donnei entered Tortosa on the 3lst of
lasi month, and reinforced that garrison with 2000
if:jaw:yr, and 300 cavalry; so that we have now
Genet men in that fortress, who will make a brit-
teett sally when a proper opportunity occurs.
* Ties is a term of reproach which the Spaniards apply
to the French.

The Cortes were to assemble on the first day of
the resent month at Cadiz, and all the precautions,
whiLli prudence could suggest, had been adopted by
60-vernment, to prevent the tumult which was ap-
prehended trom French intrigues, at the opening
this long-neglected National Diet. This event
will torin a new xra in the history of Spain, and
the recovery of long lost rights will give additional
energy to the zeal of the Spaniards, by clearly point-
in; out to them what they are to, fightfor.

SOLENT bUIS DICER! TrAT.SUM ALIDEAT?

L 0 N D 0 A,

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1810.'

We are happy to inform our Readers, that our
Expedition from Cadiz Under Captain COCKBURN
has completely succeeded. The troops landed at
the mouth of Rio Tinto, between the Guadiana and
Guadalquiver, and completely surprised the Due
D'AREMBERG at Moquer, took 700 infantry and
100 cavalry; the Duke himself and a few dragoons
only having ell-ea-led their escape.

This morning Mails from Gottenbtrgh and Heli-
goland arrived; by the former we have received no
intelligence, except a report, very vaguely Stated,
that English merdhandize .has been confiscated in
Sweden. If, however, such an important event
had taken place, the news doubtless would have
reached us in a more distina and authentic shape.
A kind of official document has been published
by the Swedish Government, in which it is boldly
asserted that BuoNArAtt-ris did not interfere in the
election of BERNADOTTE to be/Crown Prince ; it is
also added, that BERNADOTTE did not, as zwas re
ported, make any offers of a pecuniary nature to
promote his elec: .

The German Papers contain some lamentations
for the unfortunate defeat and destruelion of the
Neapolitan Flotilla, and for the consequent post-
ponement of the Invasion of Sicily ; but we are in-
clined to think that MAT is not very sorry that
he has some excuse for abandoning an attempt which
he knew would have terminated in defeat and uis-
grace. The report that Foucua, alias the-Duke Of
OTRANTO, was under arrest, appears to be un
founded ; .he has taken a house at •Naples, where he
intends to reside as a private person. It is not, how
ever, impossible that this residence has been pre-
scribed to him, i I order that he may be under the
surveillance of MURAT. Another account, however,
states, thatlie had set out on his return to Paris.

Letters:from Vienna state, that the Russians have
sustained some severe checks :from the Turks.—
\Ve think that the Russian Government must
be tired of a war in which they have lavished so
much blood and treasure, and which they are‘carry-
ing on merely to promote the views of BUONAPARTE.

Dispatches were received yesterday from Lord
WELLINGTON, by which it appears that the Enemy
opened his fire upon Almeida on the night of the
2,5 h ult. and obtained possession of• the place on
the night of the 27th.
Some prisoners taken on the 28th report, tha;
the magazines of the fort blew up on the night of
the 25th ; that on the 27th the Governor proposed
to surrender the place on condition that the garrison
and inhabitants might join Lord WELLINGTON'
army, but this proposal having been refused, the
fire was renewed, after which he held out while his
ammunition lasted, and surrendered at two- A. M.
of the 28th; that offers had been made to the gar-
rison to take them into the French service, but they
all preferred being sent prisoners to France.
This account seems to be corroborated by an ex-
plosion having been heard at our outposts, and by
observations made on the cessation and renewal of
the enemy's fire. The weather had interrupted
Lord WELLINGTON'S telegraphic communication
with Almeida on the 26th and great part of the
27th, so that he had not an opportunity of know-
ing its situation after the explosion of the magazine.
Lord WELLINGTON has again moved his in-
fantry to the valley of Mondego, keeping a division
at Guards ; his cavalry out-posts at Alverca, and his
head-quarters at Celerico. On the 28th some skir-
mishes took place between- the picquets. Captain
LYGON, of the Wilt, was wounded. A picquet of the
Royal Dragoons made a gallant and successful charge
upon the body of the enemy, and took some
prisoners.

REGNIER has made no material movement;
sixty of his cavalry had been cut off b; a troop of
the 13th Light Dragoons and a coop of the 14th
Portuguese Light Dragoons, ,under Captain WHITE,
and the whole were made prisoners, except the
commanding officer and one man, who were killed.
This has been a very creditable affair to the allied
Cavalry.
In the North, 'a French Corps advanced on the
eoih to Alcanizas, but on the approlch of Genera
SILVIERA from Braigunza, they retired immediately.
Lord WELLiNGToN'siDispatches are dated Celerico.
29th ult.

The Swiss battalion, near 500 strong, taken at
Puebla de Senebria, have arrived at Corunna.

Accounts have been received from Buenos Ayres,
datee June 23, Tile Governing Junta of the Pro

vinces of the Rio de la Piata 1)1)1'6-lied a :vranito
on the 2d of June, explaining their conduel towards
the former Ministers, constituting what was terruei
the " Real Audiencia." The Proclamation statec,
that the Junta, after their imtallation, had resolved
not only to respect the persons of the " Real Au-
diencia," but to retain them in their employments,
and to consult them in the proceedings necessary for
the government of the country, requiting them,
however, to take an oath of submission to the new
order of things; that the Audiencia,"however, treat-
ed the Junta with indifference, and even contempt,
and that two of their Members, on attending the
Junta, displayed o:arks of open -insult. At leogtlt,
as we before stated, the Junta deemed it necessary
to remove the whole of these Ministers, and send
them to the Mother Country. The people appear
to take part with the Junta.

We this morning received the following,acconntt
from America
Ncw VoltK, AUG. L—The United States
frigate Constitution, Captain HULL, has arrived iv
the Ches4peak ; she passed a British frigate of 32
guns bound to New Yor'.
'" Great disturbances between the French and
other inhabitants in Nest. Florida, have taken place;
the former ordered away ; and the latter, it is said,
will declare themselves.* independent, provided the.
United States will (they cannot) give them protec -
tion.

" PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 7.—The Baltimore
speaking of the arrivai of Mr. Dix/N ;, with impor-
tant dispatchei from Mr. PINKNEY, for Gwen-
.,
ment; saysr7-

"Intelligence had been received by oursovernmen-
some months ago, that Mr. Pt NKNEY was negotiating
a Tteaty with the British Government. Perhaps
the important Dispatches alluded to contain it."

Princess AMELIA remains in much the same way
as sllehas been 16r, some tim past ; it is hoped she
does not get Nvorse; but is certain her health is not
by any means improved since the last report.
Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Au-
GUSTA and Soon lA, went to St. George's Chapel, and
heard a sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. DIGIIY,
from the 19th Psalm, v. 7 and afterwards returned
to the Palace.

Saturday tilt:. Duke of YORK arrived at Windsor,
and rode out an airing with his MAJESTY and Prin-
cesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA. His Royal Highness
dined with her MAJESTY and the Princesses, and
visited Princess AMELIA, and in the evening set off
for Oatlands.

A private letter from Paris mentions, that in
consequence of an order issued by SAVARY, six
persons were apprehended in the suburbs of the ca-
pital on the 4th, and conveyed to prison.—Two of
them were Military Officers of rank, and it was re-
ported that their crime was having conspired against
the life of Ilse Emperor.
An embargo has been laid on all vessels in the
Danish portS in the Elbe, and the western parts of
the Duchies of Sleiswig and Holstein, preparatory,
it is supposed, to an attack upon Heligoland by an
united French and Danish force. The following is
a copy of a letter upon this subjed:—

" HELIGOLAND: SEPT. 6.—We are all alarmed
here at the threatened attack of the united forces of
France and Denmark. There is little doubt of their
intention ; accounts, both private and official, tend
to confirm it. We are losing no time in making
preparations to resist them, winch we trust we shall'
do with success. We have formed a voluntftr
corps of artillery, sharp-shooters, and infantry ; and
a strong naval force is now collecting, all the vessels
of war being recalled from the rivers. Besides the
L' Aim able, use have got the QueAT frigate, a large
sloop of war, a great many gun-brigs, and more are
daily expetted.—A great proportion of the most va-
luable goods is now removing to the higher town,
and every arrangement making on the part of the
mercantile body to provide for the worst."

It is understood that the quantity of uncoined
silver in the Spanish Colonies,
.at this period, ex-
ceeds that of any other time since the discovery of
mines there. The reason is, that although the mines
are regularly worked, it is not usual to 'send bollitin
to the mint, and thence to Europe, in time of war,
except that which happens to be shipped on acconiit.
of individuals, who ship at their own risk, paying
first for a license, by which means the stock on hand,
both on account of Government and belonging to
the Merchant and Ttader, is immense beyond ex-
ample. .
A party of thirty 'persons were assembled in a
large building at Petersburg)), at the beginning of
last month, to celebrate a marriage, when a thun-
der storm coming on, the roof was struck by the
lightnitn;, which entering, killed the, bride and
bridegroom, just as the pric:a 4Pa s joining their
hands, without the others sustaining any tnaterial
injury.

_ .
A. gang of 25 robbers were apprehended in June,
in the neighbourhood of Neuburgh and Seinitz; on
the Bohemian frontiers. For a period of tour yews
they had defied the utmost exertions of the civil
power, committing innumei-able depredations, and
amassing immense treasures. The secrecy with which
their expeditions were planned, and the temerity
with which they were executed, rendered ti•em a
,terror to all *the villages in their vicinity, none of
whose inhabitants dared to take any steps against
them. Their multiplied.offences at height reitiered
it neces,ary to employ a military force, and a body
ol ILO trcops were detached, who, watching ti e
passes Of the mountains, dist:owL.red their remat.---
Five of the robbers were killed and eight wounded
before the pug submitted. Among the plunder
were found the trunki and lug4a,:e of severd Ftench
and Austrian Oilicer4, taken duriitzthe late cam 7
p.jgh.
