LETTER FROM GENERAL O',DONNELL TO THE .PRESI.•
AP ittaT OF Ilia JUNTA.
" SfosT EXCELLENT SEE,
" The movement which the. army of Marshal
Aflacdonald made towards the town of Cervertt
quaieted me that his object vdas to place himself in
a centrical point of observation, which might Cover
the bperations of that. of Suchet, which was piaeed
'against Tortosa, to threaten, by his rear guard, the
line of the Llobregat, and, at the same time, to oc-
cupy an extent of country which might afford him
suty,isteuce.
" The kind of warfare which it suited us.to carry
on had determined me to attack all the posts whist,
the enemy bad left in his refr, and varliical, from
theii distance from our positions, he considered se-
cure from serprise ; and to consequence Of w ,areveir
might result, to follow up any operations; not losing
any opportunity which might occur of obtaining the
sm sliest advantage over the enemy; and in order to
carry into effeet this plan, I ordered , tor eaotaarka-
lion at this port several pieces of artillery, arnoi .
and a small detachment of troops, ,convoyed
by his. Britannic M ijesty's frigate the Gam/riga,
tour feluccas, and a Spanish frigate, the Diana,
which might be united-on their clutzing grounJ oft
Barcelona, •
• " The indic.ated movement of the enemy upon
Cervera, so. far from inducing me to change this
plan, put it in my power to carry it.into more advan-
iageous execution ; and I ordered that the corps of
ir►iatitry Of Tarragona, Ilibuia, Avercia, Gerona, and
Arragon, and the Spanish hussars, with the dia-
goons of Numaetia, under the command of Mar-
shal the Marquis de CampoVerde,should march upon
VillalranCa, fur which point I set out from the for-
tress of larragona on the 6th inst. placing Myself
at the head of the above division.
[Here the General details a variety of preliminary
tnarches:of his troops, among which were his Send-
ing off a part of his force under Colonel HonoratO de
Fleyres, for the attack of San Felio de Guizols and
Palamos,while he himself resolved to attack General
-Sch wart 2, who was posted in Bisbal."
" Scarcely had Ipresented 'myself in front of
Bishal, when I ,ordered Brigadier Don Jose Sanjuan
to seize with the cavalry all the avenues to the town,
to prevent them from sallying.forth; this movement
was executed with incredible, aotivity, so that. iu
less that. ten minutes all the points were seized.
The infantry;without regarding the number of -the
enemy, penetrated immediately into the town, and
fired from different parts on an ancient fortress, to
which the enemy had retreated. Poring this, seve-
ral parries of cuirassiers, who were, patrolliog out..
side the town, were all cut off by erar Cavalry, who
behaved With the greatest valour.
I then demanded a surrender of the fort,
which was refused ; and, I therefore determined to
attempt setting fire to the . gates, advancing, 'for this purpose, to reconnoitre; but scarcely had I ad•
ranceci to the vicipity, when I. was.wonn-d bra a

At the commencement' of this bpgi'atibn the cen-

ALDEA, RELATING TO THE ATTACK ON,PALAMos.
- " Having the command of the troops .destined to
.attack the cnemv in the town of Palamos, I have
now. to communicate to your EXcelleitcy the ;i'erorn-
0114i-trent of that otjed, with 300 men of the bat-
tailor) of Tarragona, and 50 Spanish. hussars,. in the.
.following manner : .
" It being indispensable f.r the attainment of the
°hied ..to -attack the enemy by the Imights ,of the
mill which &midland Palamos, I made a circuit by.
the. vill age of Calonje ;. but before arriving there, Nye
were met by an advanced guard of the enemy, which;
.was attacked by our guerrilla; and dispersed -with
the loss of. c 9 prisoners, and 2 killed. 1 immedi-
ately followed 'my route to Palamos, and took the
position *of the mill,%ending. round detachniew sby
the sides and ceefre.of the town, which conduat-
ed themselvel with bravery ; but the enemy with
all their lerc,e attacked them: so furiously, that
they .were-forced to retreat a little.- I then descended
from the heights with my small force, and having
formed thein in battalions, without firing a-shot, we
_ attacked them.iiit.h the bayonet, and drove them to
star Castle, from .hence they kept up a brisk fire of
cannon and musquetry, winch lasted eight hours.—
:Perceisving. that our ammunition was expended,
`•which if known to the, enemy, he would takea&
vantage of, I ordered an assault on the.Castle,which
was iastautly -et-Feder!, with,-so much bravery and
i4titude, that the enemy.had not; time to fire the
. cannon, though loaded, and we made them all pri-
soners, 1101 one escaping.
" His Britannic Majesty's frigate the Cambrian,
and the Spanish frigate the _Diana, seconded this
.attack with the fire of their boats; one of the
Ocats of the former was sunk by the enemy.
In this affair we have taken 5 pieces of cannon,

killed and wounded, of whom there were more
than 60.

des;ro3ing a battery near Bagar ; on which occasion
42 of the enemy were made prisoners, without the

CADIZ, SEPT. V.3.—The brave Murciano r e sorry
that Sebastiani • would Dot attempt a tortrial adion.
The good understanding Which' prevailed between
-.the ioldiers alid the peasantry, and the indignation
of ail, prognosticated a success equal to that of the
c,ucirilhas in their diffetent attacks, in which, whit-
nit exaggeration, the French have lost from 5 to
M men.
Such is the fruit which this great soldier has de-
rived from his memorable expedition, by which he
• no doubt proposed to oblige the army of the centre
t i abandon its advantageous positions. Our force
C. 9 hsiits,:of 2500 horse, and from 12 to 13,000 in-

fantre-... the armed peasants who had joined, •
amounted on .the Ist cf Seeternber to 12,000 'ca
valry and infantry. Our main guards have neat-
edly driven back those of Sebastiani, anti particu-
larly on the 28th of August, in the olive giounds of
Lehi ilia.
On the 3d instant, the peasants returned home
fully satisfied with what they liedelone, and in the
greatest tranquility. The forces with which Sc-,
bay iani proposedetb conquer this Province amounted
to 2400 _cavalry, and !rpm 6 to 7000 infantry.—
The depredations and cruelties tommitied by these
,cannibais, are the same which have enternised
,their memory in all their expeditions. Not satis-
fied with having sacketrrotatia, Lorea, and other
'villages, they ha9ged on'an elm tree one of the guer-
rilhas, or flying parties of Cart'•egena, destroyed the
images• in the churches, profaned the sacred vest-
ments, &c.
LISBON, OcT. 4.—The loss of the enemy in the
glorious battle of the .27th ult. may be found by.
proportionate numbers; our army had 197 killed
and 1005 wounded; the enemy lete2ooo slain on
the field of battle ; its loss therefore is likely to
amount to 12,000, as his troops were much . more
annoyed by our fire than ours were by theirs. We
may therefore fairly draw the coocliiiion, that
though the aevantages obtained are not so great as
they were at first announced, yet 'they are of con-
siderable importance. The loss sustained by our
army was very trifling, and has already been sup-
plied, While the enemy's force is lessened by 2000
men, and from 10 to 12,000 are besides dis
from serving for some time, not to theetion that
m.tny of them may yet die of their wounds. We
are therefore war.anted to state, that as our force
remains the same, and that of the army of the ene-
my is much weakened, our Slate of defence is
changed ft 1 the better. ,
Toe must Excellent and most Rev. Patriarch has
been pleesed to direct; that in all the chinches of
his Patrierchals, public prayers shall be offered to
the Most H eh for the successes obtained over our
enetiiie..
Zlsaol., OcT. 6 --Our last intelligence from Ca-
diz slates, that toe Cortes mei, -tor the first
on the 24th of last month, anti that that illustrious
COIIreSS displays the utmost energy both in its first
tut asuies ant deliberali ns. Ferdirrend VII. was
acknowledged of Spain, mkt all the posses-
sinus beyond. the si as were declared Provinces of
the Spanish Monarchy, the integrity of which the
august Assembly protests to- preserve and maintain.
a he first day of the sittings. of the Cortes was a day
oft tiblic rejoicings for the city of Cadiz.
With regard to our army, we know for certain,
that it is concentrating in the grand positions,
which, in addition to their natural strength, art has
rendered impenetrable, by an immense variety of
fOrtificatioos. cOnstrated for the defence of this
'country. .His Excellency Lord Viscount Welling-
ton had ordered them to be prepared,' being per-
redly aware that they would be the scene of those
great events which are to decide the ultimate result
of the glorious undertaking to which Providence
called hem, to complete the glory of his own nation
'and of ours. His Excellency know's full well, that
all the other positions which he occupied were mere-
ly subaidiary positions, tending to shelter the coun-
try from petty incursions, but that the question of
.our liberty and independency .could not be then di,
vided. The army is daily receiving reinforcements;
yesterday
.the 33d regitnent arrived here, and the
large bodies of troops of the same nation which
were here, put themselves on the same day in ruo-
-lien to join the armies.
' LrseoN, OCT. 4.—The SuperioCiunta residing in
Alicant having found that the measures adopted' by
them to succour Tarragona and Tortosa haste been
produCtive of the most advantageous results, and
have resolved to grant to the masters of ships a gra-.
tification eel one dollar for every cahiz (a measure)
of wheat pr pulse which they take on board for the
above places; arid which gratification is to be im-
mediately paid by the above Junta, on the produc-
' (ion of a lawful certificate of such grain or pulse
.being duly landed. .
MANIUZA, SEPT. g.—ln the sally which the tar-
rison of Tortosa made on the 3d ult. the. French
Generals La% al and Klopuki were wounded. It is
said that the first died of his wounds in Casper, and
that the second continues ill at Saragossa. Generals
Such'et and Hauspe went on the 20th ult. Irom
Chirta to Mora, with 2000 infantry and 100 horse,
- and on' the 21:1 General Hubert joined' them with
7000 infantry. , The same'day Suchet set out, ac-
cappanied by his wife, for Lerida, where it is said,
he consulted with Macdonald, and afterwards pur-
sued his journey to Saragossa. The asped of things
have changed. and although Mora; Mequiliaza,
and other places on the Banks of the Ebro .:have
made many preparations for a s;ege, and amopg
others, a portable-bridge. of boats, composed of 18
pontons, these means to carry on the undertaking
against Tortosa do not succeed, and. Sucliet ha, sent
various Couriers by way of Jaen, requesting rein-
forcements.
'MADRID,SaiT. 13.—1 n the night between the
. 7th and Bth an advanced guard bf patriots. ad •
evanced within-pistol shot of Gate Segovia, without
the French, though They knew it,. daring to inter-
rUpt them.
It appears that in Catalonia fate appears propi-
tious to our arms, and -that the enemy is confound=
ed, and does 110110.11 g bin vary his plans. Those'
which attempted to' penetrate iniceValencia have
suspended their march, and in that kingdom the
wise precautions, activity, 'and patriotism of its new
Chief, gives reason to hope for the best results-from
the army, and that it will put itself in motion; and
not merely limit its operations to the defence of,
that province.
On the 29th. ult. early in the morning, a sally
was made by the bridge and causeway with 300
men, under the command of a. Captain, with an in-
tention of destroying some epanlments which the
enemy had' in tire vicinity of 'the battery of Por-
tazgo..- The 'fire was very brisk, and maintained
with dexterity by the boats and the batteries of
Velaede, Davais, and Portazgo, which
.proteiited,the
infantry, who with the bayonet carried tbe epaule
meets, destroyed them, and carried the wood to '
the Isle of Leon. Our loss consists in one killed,
and seven wonnded. We took three Muskets' and

three saddles frem,flie enemy. ,This Elaien, though
tri:fting, executed with valour and.promptitude, will
spew the enemy what he has tO expect wheni our
troops a& on a larger scale. • -
LISBON, OCT: b.—The enemy, warned by the re-
ception" which the comb/tied army gave him on the
memorable 27th of September, when he left more
than 2000 killed on the field of battle; and had an
immense number wounded, which be barbarously
abandoned, endeavoured to get round our positions,,
crossing by Mortagoa, in the direetiim- of Sardum,
and then turning to the South. The able move-
ments of Lord Wellington, however tru4t rated this
plan, and our army continued to concentrate itself,
acquiring every moment greater superiority, not
only by the large re;..fOrcements it successively
receives, but because Massena continnallf finds
himself involved in new difficulties, having his com-

tnunication with the province of. Beira, cut off, and
every day losing troops from fatigue, while he suf-
fers the greatest distress from the want of the ex-
pected supplies of ammunition. The tried valour
of the allied troops, and the bad condition of the
enemy, which .every day grows worse, gives us
every , reason to hope the most fortunate results.
French temerity will pay dearly- for having pene-
trated into the territory of Portugal.
Our.. G.—According!to the last at counts , from
our. army, the head-quarters of Lord Wellington
wire still at Leiria, and it is not certain that the
enemy had yet advanced beyond Coimbra—the
regularity with which the corps of the, combined
armies have performed movements• so complicated
in presence of the enemy, without the l-ast confu-
sion; and their completely removing:all their stores
and magazines, minitestly indicates the superiority

of the Clients of the Genetal who commands, and it
n.,t possible to describe the confidence which the
whole army has in.hint. •

THE CORTES.-THIRD DAY.

The sittings began at the same hour as yesterday.
The. question respecting the Americans was again
distussed.

N— said, that he regretted to see the time spent
in discussing a stibje& iihich as yet had no exist-
ence; that they were treating about the .confirma-
tion of two'Decrees of the Central Junta, which
had not yet been read in the assembly ; that owing
to their want M.:precedents the Cortes were de-.
prrved of that instruction so, necessary to sanction
.the said Decrees: that to, him the most ohvi‘ius
way seemed, withan entering further into the dis-
cussion, to ask information from the Council or In-
dia, who wouid 'give their opinion conformably- to
the laws of India, their regulatiops, resources,
and other informations ; and that after this, the.
'Cortes might decide with accuracy on so delicate :a
point.
In reply,- it was observed; `that it was 6bl:requisite.
to hasten the decision of the 'Assembly; that it was'
.sufficient t hat :a .iday.lor o.n subjeN
should be fixed on, provided it were-not distant.
And it was urged that, to this died; theyought.to;
-have in mind that the proposed Decrees would irn-
part a fresh stimulus to the liberality ef America ;
that without resources it was not possibleto con-
tinue the war; and that the money came from
Arrierica.

N— hereupon said, that. the Indians 'must, feel
themselves hurt at being. declared now free, since
they never had beeil slaves ; that the laws had al.'.
ways granted to them not only the rigbts of liberty,
but also some prerogatives,. in addition to those ac-,
corded to the Spaniards themselves; that some per-
sons well informed in the laws, customs, and cha-
racter of the Indians, bad observed that the best
means to favour the Indians, was 'to' insist on the
observance of their laws; that neither\ ought they
now to speak of pardon for those which had any
share in the disturbances at the Carraccas, because
the word might justly offend then,), as pardon always
im!iiied crime; that the Regency had dispatched
a Counsellor, invested with lull powers, who, per-
haps; before that time 'bad taken every necessary
measure. '

N— spoke in favour of the proposed DeCiees, and
said, that as they were not at present going to be
sanctioned, he would reserve what he had to say con-
cerning the loaner-speech.
The Commandant of Royal Carbineers presented
himself to take the oath.

The proposals for the appointment of a-Commis-
sion entitled the 'f Commission of Justice," was
again brought forward. A slight discussion arose in
which it was agreed that it neither-ought to be styled
~of justice, nor to assume iny share of the judicial
power deposited in the JUdge..
A question was proposed,. whether or no a Com-
mission should be appointed, which shoirld examine
into, and propose to,t,he CorteS, the measures .which
Might be taken to obtain a speedy and impartial' ad-,
ministration of justice, and almost all voted for The
Commission. It was also agreed, that the Regency
•should remit all the documents aid papers relatite
to the Cortes. .

A Comnaission of the Public Revenue_was also _in-
sisted -on, and was, in point of rat; agreed to; but
the persons who were to form it were not named,
because it was alleged,.the necessity of having sortie
time, in order that the appointment. should be m6re
accurately made : and the Sitting was closed at t\to

.The following is an extra& of a private letter on
the subject of O'DoNNELL's vidoiy:—
" TARRAGONA, 19TIr SEPT. 1810.—On the,i4th
inst. our braVe Geoeral O'DONNELL attiicked. the
enemy, between St. Fdin de Guixols arid Bisbal,
near Gerona, and gained a complete vi&ory ;, the
entire of the French division having been either
killed, wounded, or made prisonerS. All their ar-
tillery, baggage, &c. fell into: -cur hands. There
are 1400 prisoners; amongst them upwards of 40
Officers, with two Generals, all on their way to
this fortress. It is with sincere sorrow I have to add,
that our brave indefatigable O'DONNELL was severe-

SATURDAY, OGTOBER 20, 1810.

We Yesterddy stopped the Press to state, that Aft.
WALSH, the Messenger, had arrived at Lord -LI-
VERPOOL'S Office, With dispatches from Lotd Visv
LINGTON. Immediately alter his artival, the follgoi
ing official account of the subjea of the dispatchet
was circulated-: , •

" A Messenger is arrived from Lord WELLIN*a
TON, who left him at Aleobaza on the 6th inst. I.l'e
Allied Armies were retreating, to their posiiiJil
the front of Lisbon. The French. Army had passed

the Mundegos and app6red .• to be advancing lc' •

presenting the' difficulties of his advance, l'°m

health and spirits."
We stated yesterday, that it was the intentio
Lord WELLINGTON to make his-stand againit
SENA at Torres Vedras, (d -position uncoauu°l' •
strong by Nature, and which has been lately very
mirth; -strengthened, by works. of art) and the di'.
patches received in the course of the afternooof
prove the accuracy of our statement. His Lordila'
after securing all his magazines at Coimbra, retreat-
ed in perfed order. MASSENA followed, witb
whole force, and repeated skirmishes took plao bJ-
tween the. advanced- guard of the French and • •
rear guard, which, we are happy .to-say, terminated
!,1
uniformly in our favour. Our cavalry disPY'
,
Marked superiority over the French,- particohlPY
a skirmish near- Condexo, where the i tith r •• bt
Dragoons attacked a superior body of Frencll
valty, took 5 officers. and 120 men piisonets,,,
sides killingg-a great number of them ; our loss was
only four men killed, and a few wounded.
It has -been stated that MASSENA has received •
reinforcement of 25,000 men; this number as,
Ve
believe, exaggerated ; it it certain, howeVer, dr"-
during the latter part of September he received CO
siderabie reinforcements. MASSENA, frolli
movements, has, we should suppose, reeived Y o
tive orders from his Master to attempt, tit
• risquesr to expel the English from Portugal,
• •i
Nothing, we should think, brit the most p°'

tive orders would induce hits: to attempt
• force such an army as ;Lord WELLINGTOS
wands from such a position as Torres" Vedcas, bet:
cause, if he were to succeed, he would not haveat,
tamed his ultimate object, and a failure would cn
danger the safety of his whole army.
.An Opposition Paper of this Morning has c°
mented upon this 'movement of MASSENA'S
ratlz -
in a curious way ; it says—" With the talentglin
" prudence universally ascribed to MASSENA,WeIIt35c
" suppose that he does not adopt this course of pro'
" ceeding without a confident prospect of success'
.
o
" he had the option of remaining in the must pleolll
part of Portugal, for the winter, 'unmolested;
and
" by which we m the"
crust have acknowledged, that
was an Erratum in the last Gazette, where,
aa
" stead of MASSENA possessing no: part of Nit„-wfor
" but :the ground on w4ich, his army stood"'

" illassena we must read IW'e/14110ton." —•
Now, even admitting that NIAssENA had got 11 lie
session of all that part of Portugal north of I
ri
Monde o, would it follow that Lord WELLI:;°I.°IIO
could possess no part of that kingdom. bat e,
ground on which his urn)/ wood ? A slight r
ierence to the map will sliew the evident absl37

way of shewing the-inaccuracy of Lord WELL 7;
