SIGUENZA, SEPTEMPER 18.

I The army of Arragon had plaeted themselves in
the most desirable posts in the neighbourhood of Sa-
ragossa, having abandoned Tudela, on being informed
that the French had been considerably reinforced,and
intended to attack it. The French entered Tudela,
but finding it without troops or inhabitants, they fell
back again to Navarre, occupying a place called Mi-
lagro, and its neighbourhood, but no action of im-
portance has taken place. We have remained here
since the 6th, administering every possible assistance
to' the armies of Valencia. and Murcia, under the
command of General Llamas, whose army amounts to
22,000 men: 11,000 passed through this city,amongst
winim we observed the General in Chief, the Generals
of Divisions, the Marshals of Camp, their Aides du
Camp, and a number of other officers. The other
111,000 passed through Jadrague , Atienza, &c. and
atrived at Agreda the 14th and
.15th. The division
which yesterday passed Jadrague and Atienza, corn-1
manded by Senor Penna, was the first of the army of
Andalusia, whereof Senor Castanos is General in thief.
The second division, under General Coupigni, yester-
day entered Aran juez. We computed at the head quar-
ters 84,000 men, with their corresponding train of
artillery and warlike stores. The army of Arragon,
which has returned from Tudela, amounts to 30,000
men, which when united will amopnt to 64,000 victo-
rious warriors. General Reding has embarked with
20,000 men from Malaga to Barcelona, to assist the
Catalonians, who had suffered the utmost distress '
from the severity of the enemy. The Catalonians
have entered France, and destroyed thirty. towns.—
His Excellency General Cuesta, or Provincial Gene-
ral, went on the 13th for Arevalo, where'his head-
quarters are, which.is eight leagues fro* Agreda.—
We expect that the General of the Galician army'.
will attack the French from Burgos,sand co-operate
with the arm yfof Asturias. We have now good reason
to hope that Joseph Bonaparte will shortly find his
army surrounded and utterly routed, and-we be freed
from the dominion of the Napoleons, and restored to
cur legitimate Monarch, Ferdinand VII. whom GOD
preserve.

Our Cabinet have finally determined upon the An-
swer which they ought to give to the Proposition
received from the Emperor of RUSSIA, and from Bo-
NAPARTE I and have this morning dispatched Mr.
SHAW, one of the King's Messengers, to Deal, with
the ultimatum of the British Government, whence he
will sail in a flag of truce, to Boulogne, and proceed
to Erfurth with his dispatches.

The rumour that the French at Bilboa, under Ge-
neral NEY, had received a considerable reinforcement,
proves, as we expected it would, entirely unfounded.
At seven o'clock, last night, an Officer arrived
with dispatches from Spain. He left St. Andero on
the 22d instant, in the GLEANER, and was landed at
Falmouth. At the period of his departure the divi-
sions of General BLAKE'S army had again advanced
to Bilboa, from whence the French had retreated
without attempting any serious resistance.
This moraing we received farther accounts from
Corunna, brought by the LADY PELLEVII arrived at
Falmouth in four days. The Spanish papers and let-
ters received by this vessel come down to the 23d in-
stant, and bring several interesting particulars..
According to our Falmouth letter, an obstinate
battle took place before the evacuation of Bilboa by
the French, but this appears to be a mistake. Neither
the dispatches, received by Government, nor the ac-
counts from Corunna, give it any countenance. On
the contrary, the French do not appear to have been
in sufficient force to encourage them to hazard a
battle with the Patriots. Their whole force in that
quarter of Spain, notwithstanding 'all we have been

told about he reinforcements they have received,. does
not appear to exceed 43,000 men.-:-.Theibilovring is
our Falmouth letter ; though incorrect as to the re-
ported action at Bilboa, it presents other details which
are highly interesting.

" LktLMOUTH, OCTOBER 26.

" Arrived this day the ketch GoaNatrse, 14 guns,
with dispatches from the Commander-in-Chief of the
Spanish Forces in Biscay to Lord CASTLEREAGH,
with which the Captain of the ketch went off in a
chaise and four for London. It is reported, that after
a dreadful battle, which was most obstinately con-
tended, and in which both Spaniards and French lost
an enormous number of men, Bilboa was retaken by
the Spaniards. The GLA.Nra:se left St. Andero on
the 22d instant. She was previously from Lisbon,
having on board two Aides-de-Camp of JONOT for
France ; but, owing to a gale, put into St. Andero,
where she intended to have landed them ; but the
mob, being enraged, prevented their landing ; and
the Captain was obliged to put them on board his
Majesty's ship PLANT.. atmer.'
Our Readers may be assured that no general action
has yet taken place, and that there were only a few
partial. skirmishes " before Nay evacuated Bilboa,
which was on the 13th, when it was immediately
taken possession, of by General BLAKE. It is now,
however, very' probable that we shall soon hear of a
great hattle ; far, before the GLEANER and Lady
Pellew sailed, the whole body of Spanish troops ex-
tricated, from . Holstein and the Island of Funen by
the dexterity of their gallant commander the Marquis
de ROMANA and the aid of a British squadron,
had arribed safe at St. Andero. The Marquis, ac-
companied by Mr. Fnaaa, arrived at Corunna on the
19th in the Snuaamis, where they were received
with enthusiasm,—On the arrival of these troops 3000
of them were immediately sent as a reinforcement to
General CASTANOS ; and dispatches ha 4 been re-
ceived from the Supreme Junta, containing instruc-
tions for the landing of the British troops under Sir
DAVID BAIRD.,--For other particulars, we refer PUT

ST. ANDERO, OCTOBER 6.

According to advices which have been received
here, it appears that the French have quitted Bilboa
a second time, leaving a garrison of from sto 600
men. The French army, notwithstanding the exag.
gerated reinforcements which are said to have arrived.
does not exceed 45,000 men. Great part of these
have fallen back towards Pampeluna and Vittoria. In
Estelle there are 1000, which are the advanced guard
of those in Pampeluna.—(Oviedo Cazette,Ottokr 15).
OCTOBER 10.—The Bishop has received an ex.
press with the agreeable intelligence that our brave
Spanish troops have entered Vittoria, with a mini.
derable loss indeed, but they have entered it. Tar
morrow or next day there will be a solemn Te Dew,
to which General Leith and his Staff are invited.
