THE BRAZILS.

RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 29.

Lord Viscount STRANGFORD, his Majesty's Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the
PRINCE of Baism, attended by Mr. E. BYNG,- his
Private Secretary, and accompanied by Lord Foams,
arrived in the lsanstieNT frigate, Captain Macices-
mg, on the 22d July ; and on the 24th, the convoy,
under charge of his Majesty's ship LIGHTNING, enter-
ed
this post; Sir J. GAMBIER, his Majesty's Consul,
with his Lady and family, came out passengers in his
Majesty's store-ship Serapis.
Lieutenant CHARLES THURLOW SMITH, R. N. (the
Admiral's nephew) sailed on the 27th, with a cartel
for Buenos Apes, having on board 37 Spanish sub-
jects, one of whom is the Chevalier de LINIERS (bro-
ther to the General of that name).—Lieut. SMITH is
the bearer of a letter from Don PEDRO CEVALLOS,
his Catholic Majesty's Secretary of State, directing
all English prisoners to be released, and delivereil
up to Sir SIDNEY SMITH, who, till Lord STRANG-
roares arrival, officiated as Minister and Consul, as
well as Commanding Officer.
The FOUDROYANT, 80 guns, Rear-Admiral Sir
SIDNEY SMITH, Captain SCHOMZERG ; the AGAMEM-
NON, 64, and Prrr ordnance store-ship (with Con-
greve rockets), arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 17th
Ma:. after a passage of 65 days from Gibraltar—
found Commodore MOORE, in the MARLBOROUGH,
74, with the detached squadron, just returned from
off Bahia, in pursuance of orders from Sir SIDNEY
while before Lisbon, stating that a French squadron
was at sea, and the probability of their shaping their
course for South America.
On the 4th June, Sir SIDNEY SMITH gave an en-
tertainment to the whole Royal Family and Court,
on hoard his MAJESTY'S ship London, 98. On quit-
ting the ship, the PRINCE REGENT presented to the
Rear-Admiral with his own hands, the standard of
Portugal, to be borne as an augmentation to his coat of
arms, and declared the revival of- the Order of the
Sword, instituted by Don ALFON!O V. surnamed the
African, in 1459, of which order Sir SIDNEY SMITH is
to be created Grand Cross. All the English Captains
before the Tagus, under his command on the 29th
Nov. to be Commanders ; and the First Lieutenant of
each ship, Knights of the same ; also Mr. F. HILL,
his Majesty's Secretary of Legation to that Court.
His Royal Highness has conferred a medal on the
four Captains composing the squadron detached by
Sir SIDNEY to escort the Portuguese fleet to Brazil.—
It is worn by a red ribband round the neck, and bears
this motto, !talon, Lialdade—" Valour and Loyalty."
These marks of favour and approbation sufficiently
demonstrate the sense entertained by the PRINCE
REGENT, of the share our naval Commanders had in
the magnanimous decision of the Court of Lisbon, on
the 29th of November ; which in this country seems
to have been only recognized in the diplomatic de-
partment, which in fact had nothing to do with the
events of that day. For on the squadron arriving
before Lisbon, Lord STRANGIORD, then Chargé
d'Affaires, made his escape to it on the 18th Novem-
ber. After the sailing of the ALBAN cutter on the
Stli of August, much apprehension was entertained of
some accident having happened to her, as a box con-
taining the papers of the LIGHTNING sloop (directed
for England) had been picked up to the northward
of Cape Frio ; and she had been seen by the CoN.
FIANCE steering a very in-shore course on the 9th, and
six bodies afterwards drifted on shore near the same
place. The LIGHTNING being gone to the Cape of
Good Hope with convoy, there was no means of as-
'certaining whether the box of ship's papers had been
actually put on board the ALBAN. The CO:MANCE,
and VIPER schooner, have been sent by Sir SIDNEY
SMITH to examine the beach, where the Portuguese
had found and buried six bodies.

SPAIN.

V. DE GELTRA, OCT. 15.

This week there was an action in the vicinity of
Barcelona. The cavalry recently arrived from Mi-
norca, on this occasion, gave the French a sound
drubbing ; in consequence of which, it is supposed,
they will not make such frequent sallies as hereto-
fore.

Head Quarters, Villafranca, Oet.i 8.

Official accounts of the action of the 12th of Octo-
ber, at St. Cugar del Valles :
~ Scarcely had twenty-four hours elapsed from the
arrival of 200 Spanish hussars at the line of the Lo-
bregat, when we experienced the happy effects of
supplying the deficiency of cavalry necessary to ope-_
rate effectually against the enemy.
~ This was made manifest in the action on the
12th, at St. Cugar.
4, On that day the enemy, about three thousand
in number, marched out to rob, pillage, and burn
Del Valles, under the colour of an expedition or attack
(as they usually denominate such operations) though
the country is quite open, defenceless, and unarmed.
General Caldagues, being opportunely inf6rmed of
this movement, marched at noon on the same day,
from the lime of the Lobregat, with only 2500 troops
of every description, in three columns, and six pieces
of artillery.
The Ist column was commanded by Don Carlos
Montero, Lieut. Colonel of the Soria Regiment of
Infantry ; the 2d, by Don Gasper Gomez de la Serna,
Colonel of that of Granada ; and the 3d, by Colonel'
Don Juan O'Donovan, commandant of the 3d batta-
lion of the regiment of Ultonia. The hussars, under
the command of their Se7jeant-niajor, Don Casimero
Loy, formed the advanced gu ird, and 100 men of
the light squadron of Catalonia, under the-command
of their Captain Don Ramon Armenta.
" General Caldagues, having received certain in-
formation that the enemy were at St, Cuar, rapidly
advanced towards them ; and on reaching the her-
mitage of Santo Domingo, discovered an advanced
guard of two hundred, men, which had just been
posted. It was instantly thrown into disorder, and
compelled to fly with precipitation by the well-di-
rected fire of the field-piece, and a howitzer, under
the orders of D. Gil Saenz •de Tejada, Captain of
Artillery, and a discharge of musketry by the Royal
Sappers, commanded by D. Melchor Silvestre.
4, At this moment appeared at the entrance of the
town a strong column of the enemy, who were gal-
lantly tucked by only two companies of the Royal
Walloon Guards, commandedby Lieut. Colonel D.

Manuel Dumont, who were afterwards reinforced I.
200 men of the regiment of Soria.
The enemy made a bold and obstinate effort to get
possession of the two pieces of artillery above men-
tioned ; but two discharges of grape shot, and a charge
by the brave hussars, put an end to the action almost
as soon as it commenced. Such of the French as
escaped being made prisoners, fled, some of them
towards the town, and some to the left, to save their
lives.
' While General Caldagues was occupied with
this first attack, his Major-General D. Joseph Aloy
so opportunely moved the third column forward on
the right of the first, that the enemy abandoned the
town, apprehensive of being surrounded ; pushing
forwards, however, a column on the same side of the
town, which fled the instant our's came in sight.
The third column, and part of the first, pursued
the enemy with so much intrepidity, that they were
driven successively from the various heights which
they occupied, and fled fronr post to post as far as
the environs of St. Pedro Martir. Night and shame
covered the French from•the indignation of our troops.
‘, The second column which marched by the left
of the first to cut or another body of the enemy,
was not able to effect it, in consequence of the ap-
proach of night, so that they took no part in the
action.
gi The general having thus got rid of the enemy,
returned in the best order, to reoccupy his position on
the line of the Lobregat, after an absence of only
eleven hours, leaving to the inhabitants of the town
of St. Cugat the dead bodies of the French, to in-
form them at day-break- of what had passed the pre-
ceding night.
,4 According to the most moderate accounts, the
loss of the enemy was not less than 600 killed and
prisoners. Among the hitter is Lorenea, Chef d'Es-
cadron, an Officer of Cuirassiers, and another. of
Chasseurs. A considerable number of the Imperial
Viletcz were killed, wounded, or taken. A number
of horses were killed, and several taken, with consi-
derable quantities of arms, &c.
4, On our side, we have had eight killed, and 88
wounded, including the serjeantanajor of hussars, D.
Casimero Loy, and 12 missing. We had 12 horses
killed, and 11 wounded,
" General Caldagues bestows great praise upon
all the Officers and troops, as well as the Miquelets.
He particularly mentions D. Juan O'Donovan and
ID. Casimero Loy, who, notwithstanding his receiv-
ing three bayonet wounds, constantly returned to the
attack with unshaken resolution, and continued on
horseback until the enemy were completely driven
out of sight."

MANRESA, OCTOBER 15.
The follcwing is a copy of a dispatch from Colonel
Don FranciAo de Milans to the Junta of Govern:

ment in this place
" On the 10th, at six in the morning, I was at.
tacked by five columns of infantry, 400 cavalry, and
nine pieces of cannon. Three columns attacked my
front, and two on the flanks, with the intention of
turning my position, so that, to preserve my artillery
and my outposts, I gave orders for a retreat : but it
was so conducted, that but few stopped until they
reached Granollers.
" 1 remained behind with about 200 men and SO
officers, who being provided with musquets, returned
with me to the encampment, then in flames, and kept
up a brisk fire upon the enemy, which threw them
into disorder, and, by the flashes from our pieces, di-
rected the outpoits to the means of escape, which all
of them effected, with the exception of a Captain
and about 30 men, who, from their own imprudence,
were taken prisoners. I immediately proceeded to
occupy the height close to the encampment, where,
with about 100 men and SO officers, I held the ene-
my in check about two hours, and then fell back
from one height to another, as far as Colreria de Car.
taros, about three quarters of a league distant from
the encampment. To acquire this short extent of
ground, the enemy had to sustain an incessant fire
from six in the morning until dark.
" The enemy passed the night in the vicinity of
the encampment. I returned to attack them on the
morning of the 11th, with my small body, compell-
ing them to retreat as far as Bessos.
" Being joined by the troops there and four cover-
ed waggons, they took the road to Granollers ; and. I
as I at this moment received a dispatch from the
Junta at Gerona, assuring me that the object of the
sally from Barcelona was to operate as a diversion of
the ,considerable force that was entering the country
`by way of Ampurdan, I ordered my officers to con-
centrate my troops. This being done, I directed my
march to S. Celoni to intercept the enemy, and to
attack him at the Riera de Trent 3 Passos, that quar-
ter presenting the most favourable grounds for our
operations ; but this plan did not take effect, in con-
sequence of my receiving intelligence, when I arriv-
ed there, that the enemy had returned to Barcelona.
Upon learning this, I retreated to Arens de Mar,
where I passed the night, and shall remain .during.
this day ; and to-morrow I shall return to occupy my
first position, where I shall await the further orders
of your Excellencies.
44 The loss of the enemy amounted to ISO men.
Ours consists of 12 killed and 20 wounded. Alining
the latter are two Captains and one Lieutenant. I am
unable to particularize those who distinguisheclthem-
selves, not having yet received the reports of the dif-
ferent Commanders. May GOD, 11C.
" Arens, October 15."
ARAN/11E2, OCTOBER 29.
His Excellency Don Josef de Palafox y Melci,
Captain-General of Arragon, has transmitted a report
made to him by Lieutenant-General Don J ohn O'Neill,
commanding the right division of that army, which
is as follows :
MUST EXCELLENT SIR I
" The enemy having united their forces from Mon-
real and Salina, at Nardues, for the purpose of ae. I
tacking my position, and plundering the town of
Aybar, they presented themselves in five columns of
800 men each, and two pieces of cannon, and com-
menced the attack at eight in the morning. The
fire of the advanced posts soon indicated that it was
a regular attack ; in Consequence of which I. ad-
vanced, without loss of time, to the above mentioned
town, ordering the troops stated in the margin* to

Mbar, untll the fortes abovernentioned having joined,
I determined to attack at. three o'clock in the after-
noon ; for which spose I dispatched, on the side
of Leache, the Commandant of the Volunteers of
Arragon, bon Pedro Gasea, and the Major of the
Forces of Huesca, Don Pedro Villacampa, with 400
men ; and on the side of Olas, the Colonel Don Philip
Perena, with the new volunteers of Arragon aad
Huesca, sustained by other corps. The action began
with such extraordinary order and enthusiasm, that
they immediately made themselves masters of the
wood that commands Olas, and the enemy, fearing
that they should be surrounded, retreated hastily,
leaving the field of battle covered with dead, and ob-
liged to abandon their formidable position at Nare-
dues, and retire upon Monreal.
4g Our loss consist's in eight killed and 14 wounded
; of the Ist battalion of Arragon and Huesca, which
cannot be looked upon as considerable, When kis re-
' collected with what superiority of fore k the enemy
commenced the action. According to the accounts
of the attendants on the baggage who came in, pro-
fiting by the flight of the enemy, their loss exceeded
::00. I cannot omit an eulogium due to the enthu-
siam and good disposition of the troops under my
orders, and to recommend most particularly to your
Excellency, the Commander and individuals of' the
Ist battalion of Volunteers of Arragen, and the Ist
of Huesca, who bad the greatest share in the action.
; I have ordered the Brigadier Don Diego Jivaller, who
is in Legre, to occupy Lumbiel, to confine the enemy
more particularly on my right."
The following is the translation of a curious and
most important commission to Don F. Palafox, bro-
ther to the celebrated General, a Member of the
Central Junta, constituting him, after the manner of
the French in the outset of their career, a Commis-
sionee over their Generals, with powers of the most
extraordinary kind.
COPY OF A LET TER FROM Till SUPREME JUNTA TO
GENERAL DON FRANCISCO PALAFOE, BROTHER OF
BON JOSEF PALAFOX, CAPTAIN GENERAL OF AR.
R AOON
66 The Supreme Junta is convinced of the absolute
necessity of our armies putting themselves in motion
against those of the enemy, which are causing so great
evils in the Spanish territory. The Junta has at differ-
ent times made manifest its desire to the Generals, and
however just the reasons for delay and inactivity may'
have been hitherto, it has nevertheless been mischie-
vous, and many evils must be increased by it, espe-
cially should the enemy receive their expected rein-
forcements.
The Government can no longer observe, with
indifference, that their towns are sacked and destroyed
with impunity, at a time when our forces outnumber
those of the enemy, and oar soldiers burn with impa-
tience to attack them. There nias be immediately
an end put to such delay in our opetations, which, if
carried on with activity, might save the country,
while want of energy exposes it to great danger. To
avoid delay, and to give to the armies all the energy
that is required on this occasion, your Excellency is
commissioned to go to the head-quarters of the Army
of the Centre and elsewhere, with all the powers of
the Supreme Junta, in the character of its representa-
tive, in order to treat with the Generals respecting
the reunion of all the divisions, the combining of ope-
rations, and every thing thus disposed, yourself re-
solve upon such attacks as you may think necessary
and conducive to the attainment of the so-much-de-
sired object, that so fully occupies the nation, and
that our circumstances, and the interests of the cause
in which we are engaged, so imperiously demand.
And to the end that your Excellency may more easily
discharge this important commission, the Junta has
resolved, that the Marquis de Coupigni, Marechal de
Camp, shall accompany you, conforming himself to
your orders, until he joins the division under his com-
mand, and likewise the Brigadier Conde de Montijo,
who is also to be obedient to your orders.
66 The Junta hope, that the zeal and prudence of
your Excellency will confirm them in the just concep-
tion which they entertain of your talents, and that
these will be employed in attaining the object of this
charge, and in exciting, by all possible means, the
enthusiasm and patriotism of the trocps.
a The Supreme Junta inform your Excellency,
that the honours due to you, in the character of their
Deputy, ought to be the same with those due to a
Captain-General of the Army.

VALENCIA, OCTOBER 25.
Four thousand Spanish troops, with some English
from Portugal, have disembarked near Tortoza, to
join the army of Catalonia. Besides a numerous and
well-equipped train of artillery, they have 10,000
muskets to distribute among the Catalonians. The
Spanish troops of this convoy are chiefly of the' ca-
valry regiments of Santiago and Alcantara, and are
under the command of Marshal Laguna. In five or
six days, a division of the army of Andalusia is also
espected, under the orders of General Reding ; pre.
parations are making for the reception of these heroic
conquerors of the barbarous Dupont, with the cer-
tainty that they will also vanquish the atrocious Du-
hesme and the brutal Lechi.

Since the first difficulties have been removed, the
marching of our troops has proceeded regularly.—.
The following minute of the order of the several dis.
embarkations may perhaps be interesting to some of
our friends :
The 95th and 49d of the line landed on the 26th; and en
the 28th set out for Bemuses, which is the *point to which all the
troops go in the first instance.
First Battalion of the Ist Guards, and 14th of the line, landed
on the 28th, marched on the 29th.
Second Battalion of dine, and 2sd of the line, landed on the
29th, marched this morning.
Fifty-first and 59th of the line landed to-day.
The 96th of the line and the Royals are te land tomorrow,
There will then remain on beard, the 60th, 7111th,4nd 81st of

It is understood, tlit the Beth, 60th, and 76th are to rectudn
a month here with the Staff; but these arrangements are, of
coarse, liable to be changed every hour,
The harbour, too, will be considerably cleared to-
morrow, if the wind is favourable, as tbo ;Aire is to
convoy between sixty and seventy of theireasporta
