\ICH, (CATALOWA) AUG. 21.

This Junta of Government Las just received the
following official dispatch from Gerona,whcli it has-
tens to communicate to the puhlic, in order to satisfy
the'r just desists of knowing the destruction of the
French army : . .

4, Immediately on receiving noice that the enemy
had abandoned his camp, and taken a shameful flight
in two divisions, one part towards Barcelona, and
the other towards Figueras, every possible care was
taken to pursue them, and to prevent the people from
suffering ar.y detriment by them on their march.
" Don Francisco de Milans immediately undertook
the pursuit of those by the coast, along with the light
troops that were under his command : and I)(n3itan
Claros set off in quest of those who took the road to ,
Figneras, with the peasantry, who put themselves
under his orders on the 16th.

4, This morning the Junta has heard from the coast
that on the arrival of the French yesterday at Cala,
and the adjoinin4 towns, the English frigates, and
the squadron of St. Felece, put them into so hasty a
flight, that they were obliged to abandon their artil.
Ivry, which Lensi.ted of six cannons and 70 waggons
of various stores, part of which they Lurned. As
soon as the people on the coast had notice that the
French were marching that way, they imnrdinely
signified their route as far as Saint Boy, and it is
known that 600 men marched out of St. Colom 1, and
4.00 from Os:a.r.c' , in pursuit of them; and they
likewise inform us, that in .St. Boy '20:)0 Inca we:e
in readiness to prevent the entrance of the enemy into
that capital. l'he success of this attempt will be the
more probable, as the French are in a st to of the
utmost trey:Lint:on.
~ From /1..711pm-dant they state, that the French
had arrived at Lien, and had imposed upon the peo-
ple of that ttiwn an oppressive conti ibution of wine
and flour. In consequence of this advice, Genial
Count Caldaques had given orcLrs, that a body d
troops from Lerida should immediately form a junc-
tion with the forces of De Clams, to try to cut them
off, and prevent the people from supplying the enemy
with wine and flour. _ _

As soon as we receive notice of the resalt (1
these two expeditions, we shall give your Excellency
notice thereof. " JULIAN BE 801.111115,."

The French, to the number of from four to five
thousand men, made an attempt to ascend La Mon.
tara, with the view either of occupying that height,
or of getting into their hands the plate and other
effects belonging to the celebrated sanctuary of Mont-
serrat. That they might the better accomplish this
object, they sent a spy to the Monastery, who
brought intelligence that the Fr.nch were engaged
with the Patriots at Collvato, situated on the side of
the mountain ; but the domestics belonging to the
monastery, far from giving him credit, seized and
put him to death, and threw his body into the torrent
of Los Burros. Fifty of them then took up arms, and
under the command of the lay-brother F. Jos-ph Tou-
lino and three other Monks, proceeded to place them
in ambuscade, at a favourable point near Cassa.Mas-
sena. The enemy speedily appeared, and never
dreaming of resistance in that quarter, were soon put
to flight in the utmost dismay and confusion, on find-
ing themselves exposed to a shower of balls, without
perceiving whence they came. Taking an unworthy
revenge, they burnt in their retreat two buildings be-
longing to the monastery, and the village of Collvato.
