SPANISH PAPERS.

Spanish Journals to the 28th ult. have arrived, and
bring some satisfactory accounts of the military ope-
rations in Catalonia. The patriotic force was hourly
increasing, and by this time it is probable the French
are completely shut up in Barcelona. At the date of
the latest accounts, the excursions of the garrison did
cot exceed a league from thence. Several sharp skir-
mishes, almost under the walls, had taken place, in
which the advantage was on the side of the Catalans.
We have also the satisfaction of learning, that no rein-
forcements to the French had passed the Eastern Py-
renees. A corps of 10,000 men, destined to enter
Spain from Rousillon, had made a retrograde move-
ment, deterred, no doubt, by a strong body of Mique-
lets, who occupied the important post•of Junquera.
Of this gallant and very useful description of force,
upwards of 17,000 were in arms in Catalonia.
The Corunna Paper contains a very spirited and
appropriate address from Lieutenant-Colonelemenot,
one of the British Officers attached to the army of
General BLAKE, to the inhabitants of Biscay. He
speaks with a confidence, derived we presume from
the Spanish Commanders, of a certain and speedy
defeat and expulsion of the enemy.

VICH, OCTOBER 15.
The English and our brave Claros operate a con
siderable diversion on the coast of Roussillon. The
inhabitants, notwithstanding the oppression they labour
under, are perfectly aware of the impolitic proceed-
ing of their tyrant. We shall soon learn what force
they are llecting at Roussillon. We are at present
assured that the greater part will be Italians.
A letter dated from the camp at St. Geromino on
the 30th ult. says At midnight the 3d regiment
of Lerida marched along the strand of Barcelona as
far as the other side of St. Adrian, where the enemy
had an encampment. The regiment of Manressa
passed the Besos between Santa Coloma and Saint
Adrian. Three companies of Vich, and the Sd re-
giment of Lerida, formed the column of reserve.—
Before day-break the 3d of Lerida discharged a volley
into the enemy's camp, and without giving them time
to fire a single shot, rushed on them with the bayonet.
We do not know the exact amount of the enemy's
loss ; but as they had no time to prepare for resist-
ance, and were surprised in their very huts, they were
completely routed. The Miquelets of the 3d of Le-
rida and their bayonets were covered with blood, and
each of them declared that he killed four, five, or six
Frenchmen.
," The 3d of Manressa, on their side, discharged
a volley at the advanced post of the enemy on the
other side of the Besos : and the French behaved in
so cowardly a style, that every man of them fled as
far as St. Martin, without firing a single shot. A
company of Vich being ordered to assist the 3d of
Lerida, they completely drove the enemy from their
encampments, and the Miquelets have returned loaded
With knapsacks, various articles of clothing, and bis-
cuit. The enemy had from lSto 22 men and three
horses killed, and lost two military chests and 15
muskets. We took two prisoners. Our loss consisted
of three wounded, one of them so badly, that he-is
since dead. The enemy have completely disappeared.
During the whole of the day there has been a firing
heard in the direftion of Moncada ; and there also
they have been driven from their camp, and their huts
set on fire. •
a It ought to be observed, that during the whole
of the day the French were unable to make any use
of their cannon."
It is mentioned in another private letter, that the
enemy had made a sally, with the intention of pills.
ging the villages of St. Clemente and Villaclecans,
and that they-had been beaten and driven back with
considerable loss.
• A letter from Puigcerda, and another from Am-
purdan, agree in stating, that the Miquelets who
were raised in Roussillon, with the promise of three
pesetas a day, and the booty of Catalonia, have been
basely deceived, and conveyed to the north in chains.
CORUNNA, OCTOBER 27.
Yesterday morning disembarked 9000 of the Bri-
tish army, under the command of Sir David Baird.
They consist of sharp-shooters, light troops, and ar-
tillery • all good-looking men, highly disciplined and
particularly neat in their clothes and accoutrements.
It must be acknowledged that the British nationbave
in every line, arrived at an admirable filigree of per.
'Section ; and that the other nations are still a great
way behind them. They formed their battalions to
the sound of mesic of a very warlike description, and
marched off in the best order to Polloza.
