otTicrAL INTELLIGENCE*

" General Regnier, not, much satisfied with the
loss sustained by his troopsfat Zatra, on the 23d
ult. at f3urguillos on the 28th; and their being at-
tacked by :sue prise at Monasterio on the 2ert It, put in
motion his principal forte on the 3d instant, cons.si-
ing of between 10 and 11,000 infantry and cavalry,
wit h 'l4 Pieces of cannon, with the deign of cutting
oft Colonel Pablo Murillo, who. was in Burguillos,
and of slabs-fluently 'attacking Brigadier D. Jose
Ymaz, who occupied Xeres. Ymaz being aware of
the enemy's intention, direded Murillo to fall back,
which he did in good order, upon the appearance of.
the enemy on the .sth, with the loss --of only one
soldier wounded, and a Captain of the regiment of
Victoria, who die l on the match, owing to the ex-
' cessive heat and ' fatigue. , At tin o'clock in, the
morning, he reached Xeres. having been joined on
his 'march by the party onderD. Manuel Benedict°,
and' both ChiefS' cotnOtunicated to Ymaz the..
result of their observations; he prepared to receive
the enemy, who were soon seen .advancing by Santa
Ana and La Granjl. •
." The enemy began his attack at Xeres of half--
past eleven o'clock, making a feint by Santa Ana, and
.11,s principal etfurt ori the side of La Gtanja. He"was
repnlsyd at all points by the steadiness, oravery, and
rapid manteuvres of out troeps. He renewed, his at-
tacks ,until s::x. in the eyening, but without success.
Ymaz,.however,, having. only 3.500 men to oppose
to-the Very.slipelior farce of the enemy, and being
aware of the nece,sity of JOTtiiiig Ballasteros,
re-
solved to' evacuate the. place. Making a feint, as
it. he designed to retreat by the bridge of. Ardilki,'
which had,the intended effect of decei v ing.i he enetrty,..
he effeeted his passage by the:ford, in the night, its.
the best order, under cover oft he battalion of Merida.
On the morning of the .6th lie, entered Higuera.
La 'Real, whence he purSu?d his. route to Encina,
to wait, for instructions froth Ballastelos, who was
falling back from the environs of Seville, to form a
jinetion with him. Nothing can afford a more de-
cided proof of the loss ,of the enemy than their not.
pursuing our troops their retreat, and their march-
ing back on the 6th, in the &redion of Santa
Marta.

ITIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1810.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived- this morning : ti.e
only news of any importance which it brings, is the
formal incorporation of Wallachia wish Ru;sia.

We have seen some letters frotri the British Army
in Portugal, which induce us to believe that there
is, no probability of a battle:taking plaCe,- at least
for some time. The letters to which- we allude
state, that. after the surrender of Ciudad Roderigo,
the French Army separated, and that- one portion
of it, under NIASSENA, marched towards Salamanca;
acid the other division, under- NEY, towards Za-
mora', In consequence of these movements, the
British Army is said to have advanced. It is diffi•
Mit' to conjecture the cause of the march of the
French. Army in the direlion we have stared* it,
seems.q9ite obirious that, notwithstanding all their
superiority of numbers, they did not think it pru-
dent io.attack Lord WELLINGTON in the strong po-.
sition.he had chosen. How MASS.ENA will excuse
himself to Boobriamure, for not drhing ale Eng-
lish into the sea, we are at a loss to gUess.

Dispatches have been reccitzed from Sicily, of the
date of the ttth of June. The British troops are in
good health, and prep: red to give the, enemy a warm
reception, should he attempt the iiiv:tsion of that
island. A private letter of the above date mentions,'
that, in consequence of intelligence received at Mes-
sina on the 9th, intimating that a numerous convoy
'of 'the 'enemy's coasting vessels bad sailed from
Naples, Captain READ, vs bo has the command of
the flotilla, immediately went. in quest
,oL it, and
had the 'good fortune to descry the enemy the
,fol-
lowing morning, off the coast of Calab; ia. He gave
chace, and coming up with the convoy, which con-
sisted of forty large boats cr barges, under - the pro-
tedion of four gun-brigs of the largest class, and
four of a sonallur size, a sharp action ensued, in
which the enemy. was beaten : the eight gun bugs
Were sunk, 14 vessel; were taken, and 20 escaped.
The number of killed; -wounded, and drowned,
could not be exadly asce(tained, but it is supposed
to be considerable. The loss on our part was only
one man killed, and a small boat sunk. On the
morning of the I ith, the flotilla, with the 14-,•rizes,
arrived at Messina.

Some letters fiorn Sicily of the 1 oth of June came
to hand ye.terday,- from one of which, the following
is an ext rad :
" MESSINA, JUNE 10.-Ip order to spare the ef-
fusion of blood, .Morit,• has ibis day sent a fllg of
truce to requesi that Sir John Stuart would deliver
up thisl.sland'cinietly into his hands.

" We ha% e lost heard that Murat, in rev;eviting
.his troops on the opposite side; narrowly escaped be-
ing taken by' one of our gun-boats. He was,obliged
to Seek refuge in iteggo."-

The Earl of HARR!NGTbN took leave of his MA.,
JP,S7Ir, at the Levee on Wecinesday, previous to Ins
set:ing off tor'lreland, to take upon him the com-
mand of the army, as Commander in Chief of Ire-
la d. The Countess and family will not follow him
fur five or six weeks. She will take leave of her
INIAJEsTv first, as one of the Ladies in Waiting.

An article has appeared in an Irish Paper, on the
Ruin of the Paper ManufaLlures of Ireland,"
which slates, that ." above three thousand persons,
,rnek.; women, al,d children, all in the employment
of Mr. J B. O'Sidli% an, at his various Mannfac-
torit s at Dripsey and Blarney, paraded Cork-street,
a mel.ineholy procession previous to their being
discliarg-d." The same article states, that '" two
thousand five hundred individuals, pen, women,
and children," have since petiiioned the Mayor of
Cork for relief. So that these, " about three thou-
fittid," have at once dirninisiked sao. But-vtethink
wr lime seen the Name of Mr. J. B. O'Sullivan,
trO;inced vr4y our Ctmrts of Law, respea
ingse‘eral bid tratisam ihns, burw hyprivatedisappoint-
mem should taus be represented as the fault of Go-
vt.rorileot, it is not hard. to conjedure. We shall
p,,obably resulne this subject.
