-We 'have more than once stated that notwithstand-
ing the
,doubts entertained of the accuracy of the
accounts circulated after the arrival of the Mentikrott,
they certainly furnished strong grounds for discredit-
ing those that were received two days before from
Corunna. In this we were correct. It now appears
by accounts transmitted to Government by Captain
BLANEY, that the MXDIATOR left Santona on the
evening 'of the 16th November, and that on the
evening of the 13th, a letter had been received by
the Magistrates of that place, from General &Act,
dated at Reynosa on the morning of the same day,
and stating :—that after twelve days hard fighting,
being rather short of provisions, he had taken up that
position in order to concentrate and refresh his troops
after the fatigues they had endured, and which they
had bprne with the utmost constancy and courage..
There was no truth then in the accounts of the total
discomfiture of BLAKes army at the date stated in
the Corunna accounts.—But we hasten to lay before
our readers more recent and satisfactory details.
The arrival off Dover of the SPARTAN, from Ri-
bade*, (a small port between Corunna and Gijon)
in nine days, was announced in the course of yes-
terday, at Lloyd's. A letter from a passenger on
board this vessel, announced, that after a contest,
which had continued for several days, the Patriots
had defeated the French under General NET, but

lifth the loss of 6000 of their own army. To this
vessel we conceive the following letter, received this
morning, to relate, though it states the 6000 men to
have been lost by the enemy, and that the Spaniards
lost only 2000 :
DOVER, NOVEMBER so.
Passed by here, yesterday afternoon, a brig from
" Corunna, in nine days. I have been with one of
" the boatmen who went off here with a pilot to her,
" and he informs me that the Captain said that Ge-
neral BLAKE had defeated the French with a loss
of 6000 men, and that the Spaniards had lost about
" 2000: A Gentleman went off on board the brig,
Is and got a particular account from the Captain, the
"' substance of which was, that the Spanish Army
had been obliged to retreat for several days, but
" having at last been joined by the force under the
" Marquis ROMANA, they jointly attacked the French
" at midnight, and, after a severe conflict, succeeded
" in defeating them, and taking their cannon and
provisions."
To the foregoing we have to add, that a Messenger
tlas arrived from Madrid with dispatches from Lord
riLLIAM BENTIN CK. Heileft Madrid on the 15th,
tad at that date none of the accounts that had been
received, excited any apprehensions that BLAKE would
not be able to keep his army together till reinforce-
ments should reach him. The enmity of the people
of Madrid to the French is such, that none of that
nation dare to appear on the streets. One of Lord
BENTINCE'S servants having been mistaken for a
Frenchman bf the populace, had nearly lost bis life
before the error was discovered. .
SPANISH JOURNALS.
Since writing the abe.ve we have received Spanish
Journals to the 24th instant, brought by a Mail from
Corunna. We have only time to remark that the
accounts which they bring confirm the particular)
transmitted to Government by Captain BLANEY,
namely, that General BLAKE having been pressed by
the enemy, bad retreated on the 12th to Reynosa.--
• To this they add, that having been again attacked in
that position by superior numbers, he had been obliged
again to give way, and had retreated to a valley in
the vicinity of Santander.
From the whole accounts that have been received*
it appears evidently that General BLAKE had not an
army sufficient to cope with that of the French, and
that in consequence he has been obliged to retreat be-
fore the enemy ; but it also appears that his troops
have behavedlwith coolness and courage,: ancl bore the
hardships of the service in which they were engaged
with a degiee of constancy and perseverance which
would have done honour to veterans. The conse-
quence has been, hat instead of being thrown into
confusion andscattered—the principal evil with which
new levies are threatened when opposed to a superior
force, they relreateci in order and remained unbroken.
That the French have obtained some successes,
Cannot be doubted. It was to be expected they
might in their first rencontre ; but if the armies of
the Patriots have remained unbroken, this may be
considered as no mean advantage, and as bolding out
strong hcpes that in the end they will triumph over
heir enemies.—The following are extracts from the
Spani.uh P4pers

VALENCIA, OCTOBER e,
We barn, by letters from Catalonia, that his ET,
cellercy Dna Manuel de Vivos has removed his
;zeal-quarters from Villa Franca to Matozel,
Ingt!es from Barcelona ; and that 4000 of our trot*,
and some English, have entered-Rosas. His Excel-

wieit, OCT. a,.
Captain General Vila has trait to this
place the following intelligence: That 11010'60mnd
troops are to be disembarked here, who we coming
from Majorca.
The cotivent of Sen 'Francisco is now full of can-
non, mortars, end -howitzers, and a coOsickFable
number of 24-pounders are with Rambla I 'We Itav*
also plenty of provisions, and above all of' ismer.
CORUNNA, NOVEMBER a%
An Officer of distinction, who left Reinosa oss the
3th, states, that our loss in the action of Sornoza
amounts in the whole to 400 men.
CORUNNA, NOVEMBER as.
Our army, which immediately after its organiza-
tion, marched to the defence of the country, and- oc-
cupied the heights of Reinoso. From that place it
advanced, under continual fighting, into Biscay, and
took post three leagues from Durango. The exer-
tions of our army attracted the attention of the enemy,
who attacked our troops in the above position, and
from his vast superiority in number, compelled them
to fall back to Balmasede, as we have already pub-
lished.
Since the 31st of last month, when that retrograde
movement was performed, we have not received any
official accounts : but General Broderick, of the Bri-
tish service, has received an express from the army,
and communicated to us the following iaulligence•:s
" On the sth General Blake attacked the French
—defeated and pursued them beyond Balmaseda and
Urraba.—On the 7th, General Blake attacked the
enemy in Guenas and moved further ; but the centre
of his army not having kept pace with the wings, be
resumed the position of Ealmaseda.—On the fhb, his
rear was engaged.—On the 10th, the enemy attacked
our army in Espinosa with double its strength : the
action lasted from one o'clock in the afternoon till
night, and remained undecided, or was rather in our
favour.—On the 1 1 th, the enemy renewed the at-
tack, and having occupied the road by which our
troops were to retreat, part of our army began to be
dispersed.—On the 12th, General Blake retreated to
Reinoso, to rally his army in this position. He was
again attacked by the enemy, with fresh and superior
forces, and our army fell back to a valley in the vi-
cinity of St. Andero."
The Officer who communicates this intelligence,
speaks in terms of the highest praise of our troops,
and their worthy Commander. They fought seven
successive severe actions, and a stronger proof than
this cannot possibly be given of their persevering
valour. The Supreme Council of the Kingdom
makes no doubt, however, but that our army, after
it shall have again completely rallied, will attack and
pursue the enemy.
A column of from 7 to 8000 men, having already
actually penetrated into the plain of Reinose by the
way of Burgos, in order to prevent any accident that
might happen, orders have been given to fortify
point of Sanabria. The Marquis de Valledores has
also to march to the frontiers with all the troops found
in this province, and an army of reserve is to be im-
mediately formed, which is to join the troops of his
Britannic Majesty, who are destined for the defence of
this country. The subscription which has been Wain
foot for the benefit of the English women who follow
the army, amounts this day to one thousand riale.
MADRID, NOVEMBER It..
The Major General Count de Belveder has trans.
mined the following dispatch to the Count de Flo-
rida Blanca, from Lerina, dated the 10th instant :

44 MOST SERIEJE LORD,
44 Since I arrived at Burgos I have been twice ate
tacked by the enemy, and haw twice repulsed him
but today, after having sustained a fire of 13 hours,
he attacked me with-double forces, especially cavalry,
of which there were, I imagine, 3000, and at least
6000 infantry. Though t y troops sustained tha
shock with great valour during all that time, they
could not resist the enemy's cavalry, and I saw my.
self obliged to retire to Lerina, and from thence shall
proceed to Aranda to reunite my army.
a The Major-General Don Juan de Heneshosa,
who commanded in the action, acted with that valony
and honour which is well Down to the whole ass*
I will send to your Highniss, by an Officer, a
cumstantial account of the action, as soon as it can
be obtained.
46 The volunteers of Serena and Zafra, Valencia,
and the first battalion of the infantry of Truxillo, and
the provincial infantry of Badajoz, had not arrived a;
Burgos, and, consequently, $ can with these c. •
take a firm position at Arassda.
44 I am informed that the • enemy is following me
only in a small number, but as I suspect that he will
pursue me to-morrow, I am now (ten at night) leaving
this place.
44 I yesterday received advice from Lieut. General
Don Joachim Blake, of the apprehensions he enser.
tained of being attacked to-day, but the pree"..--
le had taken, and the dispositions he had
vented it.—God preserve your Highness many y
