CORUNNA, OCTOBER 29.

The troops commenced their march yesterday
morning. To-lay others follow, and to-morrow the
remainder of the Guards and two othr regiments will
proceed after them. Some take the route of Lugo,
and others that of Santiago.
There is a report that the French have entered
Burgos, but it is not believed : they must previously
have beaten Blake, of which we have no account.

Novnoma B.—lt is confidently said here, that 60
or 70,000 men were on their march to reinforce Ney's
army, which they were to reach by the 16th instant.

SARAGOSSA, OCTOLER 15.

The enemy having a ccnsiderable force at the dis-
tance of 30 leagues from this city, it was easy for
him to put those troops in motion with the same cele_
rity he commenced t'.e siege, without leaving it in
the power of our G. .foal effectually to defend all the
points of attack, make the necessary preparations
of deftsase, in th . time, tvhich intervened between the
glorious deft .ce of this city, which compelled the
enemy to raise the siege, and the regular enlistment
of its inhabitants, which has proceeded with such
praise-worthy activity and zeal. His Excellent} the
General in Chief has, however; removed all the obsta-
cles tvhich seemed insurmountable, and put this city
in a most respectable state of defence, the garrison
being commanded by Don Antonio S. Genis, Colonel
of Engineers, in whom consummate knowledge and
long experience are united with that uncommon ac-
tivity and zeal, which he displayed during the memo-
rable siege of this city:
A line of defence has been formed, which extends
from the Convent of the bare-footed Trinitation to
the bridge of Huersa, and consists in a brick wall,
ten feet high and sixteen feet thick-, furnished with
the necessary ditch and a famous curtain, which runs
from the said Convent to the . Alpargatoros Office.
This line is extremely well conceived, in order to
keep the enemy ai a distance from the gate del Car-
men, which is one of the points most frequently
attacked by the enemy, and during the siege most
gallantly defended by Colonel D. Pedro Hernandez.
The Bridge Head of Hueron is fortified by a kind
of pentagon with embrasure for eight guns. From
this point the line of defence stretched to Hueron ;

all works formed in the same manner as the other
part above mentioned—The weak points of this part,
and especially the tower of Tino, by which the French
really found their way into the town, but were after-
wards repulsed and put to flight by Colonel D.
Mariano de Rcnovalez, who put himself at the head
of inhabitants of the parishes of St. Michael and
Magdalen, and attacked and completely routed the
French who attempted to penetrate through the
street of Casi to Sangate, on which occasion Manuel
Ahrarez, a labourer, killed a General of division, and
carried off his sword as a trophy.

A Meeting of the Freemen and Inhabitants of the
city of Rochester was held yesterday evening, for the
pnrpose of petitioning his MAJESTY on the late Ccn-
vention at Cintra. It was most numerously attended :
but we are prevented, this day, by the press of tem-
porary matter, from detailing the proceedings. Sul-
lice it to say, that the Address was almost unani-
mously adopted.
The Freeholders of the Stewartry of Rircudbright,
and the Magistrates and Town Council of the Burgh
of Annan, have voted addresses to his Majesty, for an
inquiry into the late Convention at Cintra.
Last week died, at his house in Granby-row, Dub-
lin, in the 84th year of his age, the Rev. Dr. &tar-
' DELL, Dean of Kildare.

" The COunt de Linieriibrother of the present Vice-
Roy of Buenos Ayres, escaped frorn Lisbdh as by a
miracle, and, after having made his passage on board
a merchant vessel, under the Portuguese name of
Enrique Josef Govera, and in quality of the Clerk
of the said vessel; arrived at Rio Janiero, and there
continu!ng the same secrecy, even obtained 'tinder the
same name a passfort to Buenos Ayres'.t.The retirement in Which lie lived-caused him to
remain unknown till the it).hcf March lasi, when hai-
ing been seen by several Spaniards, the secret was

divulged, and came to thd knowledge of his Royal
Highness. The Prince spoke of it to Don Rodrigo de
Sousa Cautin9, his Minister at War and for Foreign
Affairs. This Ministet, who had known the Ccaint

for ten years before, and had always manifested the
greatest friendship for him while in Lisbon, assured
his Sovereign that he might serve, him with effect in
any political affairs relative to the Spanish colonies of
the Rio de la Plata. He was, in consequence;
sought for by the Criminal Judge, and conducted
by that Magistrate to the house of the Minister,
who gave him the politest reception possible, and
