Falmouth on Tuesday.

The intelligence—communicated in the printe4
journalstur Burgos
isantriaeflr this
divisio :—The
nath French
e army of
a of 4shtvreme enteredadt
consisting of 4.000 men, which had advanced from
Madrid in that direction, has been defeated.
The private accounts represent affairs as stilt
more unfavourable. In the STAR of Wednesday we
stated, that BLAKE'S army had been so hard preskd
by. the enemy, as to be obliged to retreat, con.
scantly skirmishing, from the 6th to the 11th.
letters received by this conveyance repeat the same .
details, and add, that the enemy had gained such •
farther advantages as enabled them to advance as •
far as Valladolid, on their way to Madrid. The
fact appears to be, that General BLAKE'S army, if
not entirely routed, has been so much scattered and
divided, that it will be difficult again to concentrate
these troops so that they may act with effect.
It would be presumption in us to affect to know .
the contents of the dispatches received by Gored.
ment. We can only state what report gives as thei
substance—namely that they have received accounts
from Lugo, on the line of Sir DAVID BAIRD'S MITC4
stating, that on the 18th they had halted in cam
quence of advises that the Northern Spanish awl
under the command of General BLAKE, had beast.
tally routed—that the French were in possessitati
Burgos—and had even advanced by rapid marches
to Valladolid.
We informed our Readers yesterday, that a fleet of
Transports which had sailed from Coruna on the
morning of the 19th for England, had been recalled,
and had returned to that harbour before the Lady
Pellew sailed. That the fact is so, we know to be
correct, but it does not follow, at has been reported,
that their return was- for the purpose of bringing olds
British army. Some other cause might exist for re-
calling these transports ; but it cannot be disguised
that the British troops are put in a perilous situation
by the rapid advance of the French armies, for Sir
JOHN Moms and Sir DAVID BAIRD had not &Id
a junction, nor could they for some time subse-
quent to the date of these accounts. Sir lop
Mantes first column reached Salamancba on the
1143 th, the French probably reached Valladolid alma
the same time—the distance by the direct road is
about '2O leagues. Sir DAVID BAIRD is IllidergOOd
to have been at Lugos about the same date.
Burgos was the place where the troops under Si
ions MOORE and Sir DAVID BAIRD were to base
it united their forces, but the enemy being in pessessia
of that place, it is evident that some other movemat
would become necessary—probably the retreat of fa
ions MOORE ; for it is to be feared that he is in wand
magazines, and it is known that, to pievent the arts(
from suffering by a lack of provisions, his army ea
marched in small columns ; so that between tie
van and the rear there would be a distance of several
days march. In such circumstances the troops could
not be concentrated again by any means usurers!
than by the advanced corps retreating to meet then
in the rear.—ln our Army Arf-ale we have givens
Slist of the trocps under General Moon.
We have no doubt whatever, that we shallots
hear that the unexpected defeat of General Buy,
has placed the British troops iq an aukward
ment, the cavalry under General HOPE having tak°l
a different route from that of the infant*
whether this had any share in causing the truegi4ll
to be recalled we cannot say.
We have letters from the 60th regiment, la
was at Corunna when the packet sailed, but ill
are dated on the preceding day, and therefore is
throw no light on the precise circumstance 1114
occasioned the recal of the transports on the 19the:
They mention, however, one fact which, of its'
might induce precaution on the part of our corn'
dens. One of the letters says
" The Spanish General CUESTA has been
" in a traiterous correspondence
44 and is now in ignominious cont
These letters also mention, tha
; severe action near Bilboa, but
particulars. It was not till the
reached Corunna.—For some .
communicated in these letters relal
troops, see our ARNIY article.
We cannot terminate our present
observing, that all the accounts
ceived from Corunna, may prove
of those we communicated on
BLAKE has sustained a defeat to
the Corunna accounts, and at .
