SPAMSII P4PEt?S.

By the favour of a Foreign Legations we hate
received the subsegnent interesting documents. Ti e
first is a dispatch, taken from the bearer by a skir-
mishing party, shewing the doubts the French en=
tertained of their security in the neighbourhood of
the capital.

INI RECEPTED LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR OF

MAIiRID:

" I this instant received your letter, advising me
of your arrival at Tarancon. In consequence of the
approach to this neighbourhood of the enemy, the
King commands Senor Colonel, that you should re-
main where you are, instead of conforming to the
triplicate order forwarded to-day, diretting you to
proceed to Guadalaxam. General Vial is about to.
leave Morata, to advance upon Guadalaxara, unless
you 'should require his assistance, twin the pres Sure
of the enemy, of Which you must apprize him ; but
take care not to leave your present situation, unless
impelled by absolute necessity. Obta;to every poS-
sible information, as to the-oosiCon,.force, and our-

poses rat she enemy--and with this viewinquire at
all travellers, carriers and 'others, and transmit to
me whatever important intell4gence you may obtain.
Use,. Senor Colonel, rur own judgment, but em-
ploy the utmost caution, as at airs are rather doubt-
ful, and it tNould hate a bad (Area if we were un-
fortunate so near the capital ; yet I cannot believe
that the enemy has increased at Taraneon in the
manner t our advices represent.
" I am, with perfect consideration,
(Signed) " AUGUsTUS BELLIARD.

Notwithstanding the occupation of the city of
Seville by the enemy, we have the tollowingad •
vices train thence to the date-of the 3d ult. -
44 Orders were given on the :IA Deg. that no per-
son should content or go out of the pie of Carmona
on horseback. All day we have had French soldiers,
which had been pot to flight, come tn 'by the road Of.
Tocina. General Girard, who comic coded the divi-
sion in Estolmadurs, has returned to Seville with his
troops in very bad plight. •
" On the 18th November Aranr., 'transmitted to
the Consulado the order of Soult to embark all
English tuanufaanres and colonial produce, although
constituted of cargoes by Amercan vessels, with the
exception of priies, and articles cat public sale by
Government Agents, which are, however, to pay
the duties.'

" AU these regulations are made diretsily 'from
Napoleon to Strait, and from Sault to Naytinza, with-
oat naming King Joseph ; and Napoleon, under his
own signature says, " that all the colorant produce,
which shalt he found in my 34 Departments ,f Spain,
shall be seized and confiscated."

•' On the 1911% November, &Alit celebrated by 4
tuagnificentbanquet, the anniversary of the bat►lu ci
Ocann.

" Joseph Irt3 sent an order commanding the Sy-
no,i of Set ilie immediately to give polsesbion to tt►e
Eeeltsiastics he has appointed, withi,ut
further proot. We doubt if the Synod will obey h►s
orders.

" It is said, that General Girard has instroBions
to withdraw from Estrernadura, if he shoulikriot ob-
tain the succours required from Cordova.

A. battalion has left the city, a.; the French tell
us, to set fire to Caracca, and to the troublesome
Squadrons in the bay of Cadiz. They talk law of

btutin4 the whole tslgnd of Leon and the foftrm
of Cadit.

" The French partizans labour much to persunA*
-us that there are no Spanish armies, and that those
that are Called such, are Merely raggamufEns gn¢
thieOes, and dictated in this spirit is the account 4,
the defeat at Blake in 114thcia. in contradiction to
this story, Soult in his own Gazette, 'states the force
of Blake as amounting to 10,000. men.- The same
Gazette mentions, that the news from Portugal is
highly satisfaaory, hut it will not be pubhshed, un-
til it will be offieiaqy transmitted. True Spaniards
are ant uninformed of the ernbarra,sment of Mae-
sena, and place no confidence in such misrepre:
sentations.-

" On the 30;h November the French demanded
new contribution of six millions of rials. Eleven
of the principal r: rson4 of this place, of Whom th‘ly
had required two millions and a half df thl3 sum,
hgve refused, and in consequence of their non-com-
pliance, they are prisoners in their own houses, with
two Gens d'Armes a piece to keep them comooy.
" At the same time a levy was made of all persons
in the distria, between tfi and 40 years of age.

From the private letters anti reports brought by
the CO/nor-tint, from Lisbon, we learn'that in tti
trifling skirmishes whieb ouurred between the:
outposts of the .respective armies, our cavalry and
light troops wee, invariably successful. A French
Aide-de-Camp was taken prisoner on Chri,im.is-
day. MASSENA, i• was' understood at the
heat!-quarters, had received no other reinforcements
iliat what joined him with Demi el'. Two dAy!i,
however, before the Cormorant sailed, a r,:port was
brought to Lisbon, that MASiENA had demonstrated
intentions of advancing again toviaids Lisbon. Thu
report was so much behored by Gen. Sir SrAeLti.
\)t*,7 COT VON, the Hon. Gen. STEWART (broth;:r to
Lord CASTLEREAGH), and: Brig,•Geti. (kti.urantsi,'
that they abandoned their intention of corning home,
and immediately set ofl' to rejoin the army. They
were coming. to England' in consequence of ill
health. should MASSENA leave his present position,
it will no', we understatid, bring
