ed in four killed and nine wounded.
After the affair of Alagos, General Lefebvre eon•
tinued his march. On the 14th, he came up with a
considerable body of the rebels of Saragossa, whom
he instantly attacked and defeated, with the loss of
300 men and two pieces of cannon. After gaining
this advantage, he c ontinuedhis march towards the city.
General Dupont, on reaching Alcola in Andalusia
on the 7th inst. came in sight of the insurgents who
were under the command of Don Pedro Etcheuerri.
He charged across the bridge, attacked the insur-
gent% and routed them with the loss of all their ar-
tillety, consisting of six pieces of cannon.
The numbers of the enemy were very great, but
they were dispersed like clouds of dust ; and at eleven
of the sante day, General Dupont entered CordoVa,
so that his march towards that city scarcely expe-
rienced a delay of two hours from the insurgents.
The Magistrates and principal inhabitants of Val-
ladolid were exposed to the most dreadful sufferings,
while that city remained in possession of the rebels.
They erected a gibbet under the Captain General La
Cuesta's windows, in order to compel him by terror
to place himself at their head.
General Cevallos, on his arrival from Segovia at
Valladolid, was put to death by the enraged popu-
lace. His head was stuck on a pike, and carried in
• procession through the city, after which it was tossed
about the stt -!ets.
The general disarming was carried on without in-
termission, and all the people in that quarter were
returning to their duty.
After the affair of Alagos, General Lefebvre con-
tinued his march, and on the 16th he arrived in front
of the gates of Saragossa. He made himself master
of the entrenchments which the insurgents had thrown
up, on the piece of ground which was formerly co-
vered with olive trees, carried off the 18 piece- of C-
elery, by which they were defended, and got pos-
session of the middle gate.
The greatest anarchy prevailed in this city.
On the 17th and lath various negotiations t-ok
• place with the insurgents. General Lefebvre inter -
cd to remain for some time in the position which he
had taken, in order to prevent the well affected inl a-
bitants f, om being exposed to the horrors of an a..*
tacit; and it was supposed that his expectations oi
the happy result of this measure would not be disap-
pointed.
Marshal Moncey left Cuenza on the 16th, and was
directin, his march towards Regenera. General Le-
febvre was marching towards Alvacette in the king-
dom of s.lurcia. General Wredel was advancing in-
to the kingdom of Grenada.
The Prince of Castel Franco, the Councillor of
Castille Don Ignez Martinez de Villela, and the Al-
elide Don Louis Marcellin Pereijra, had returned
from their journey into Arragon. They made a re-
port to his Majesty on the subject of their mission,
assuring him that the " orderly" classes of the inha-
bitants had conducted themselves in the most satis-
factory manner, but that it was impossible to open
correspondence with the insurgents, as they had re-
turned no answer to any of their letters. General
Lefebvre also had a conference with him on the 20th.
The Emperor gave orders that every effort should be
made to open the eyes of the insurgents, before the
City of Saragossa should be exposed to all the hor-
rors cf an assault, which would inevitably be atten-
ded with the destruction of a great number of well-
disposed people.
Marshal Bessieres had tried every
means which
clemency could suggest to bring the mouritaineers
to a sense of their duty, but they had sent him no
answer. The Archbishop of Burgos had also writ-
ten to them, and addressed them in a canonical let-
ter, but these applications having been equally una-
vailing, the Marshal found himself compelled to re-
sort to forcible means.
General Ducos marched against the .Escudo, and
General Merle to attack the narrow passes in the
mountains of Reijnara. The insurgents were routed
before they could make mare than one discharge,
having on the field four 18-pounders, and several hun-
dreds killed.
On the 21st, the corps under both these Generals,
which had farmed a junction, approached St. Ar
dero. The city made proposals of surrender in order
to prevent an assault.
The Prince of Pont° Corvo was this day to set out
horn his head-quarters at Altona for Rendesburg. It
is rumoured that Gluckstadt will speedily be occupied
by a French garrison.

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.

GENOA, JUNE 18.
In the Mostit:ur of this place we read this day the
following article :
14 On the sullject of the negociations between Aus-
tria and France, we cannot yet speak with certainty.
Some people suppose that the whole will soon be set._
tied, and that the House of Austria will give up
Trieste, *Fiume, and in short all their cities and pOsts
situated on the Adriatic, in return for which they
will receive all the Provinces which formerly com-
posed the ancient Macedonia. Others suppose, how.
ever, that the negotiations will be finally terminated
on the return of the Emperor to Paris. They found
this opinion on the circumstance of tae Baron St.
Vincent aothc,ving followed the Emperor to Bayonne."

asuluch as they tend to thew that h< Spaniards are
not wavering, but decided in the line of conduct they
have adopted. Marshal BUSTERES "tried easy woo
" which clemency could sugpst, to brim; the Mountai.
" neers to a sense of their duty, but they had tent biro

66 so avower." And again, 66 it was impossible to
" open a correspondence with the insurgents, at thee,
66 returned no answer to any Vase (French Commanders)
"letter:." With such dignified silence may every
attempt to seduce the fidelity of an honourable and
loyal people be received !
In addition to the printed journals, private advices
have been received from France, which mention that
King CHARLES IV. of Spain, the Queen of SPAIN,
Queen MARIA LOUISA, and the Prince of PLACE, were
all residing at Fontainbleau, where they were to re-
main till the Palace of Compeigne, which was under
repair, was ready to receive them.
The Prince of ASTURIAS and his two brothers were
at Valencey, the country residence of TALLICYRAND.
Tatt.teraanohinaself.had them incharge, and so anxi-
ous was he to secure his Royal Prisoners, that he was
said to attend on them personally himself.
Notwithstanding this precaution, Don Cantos,
brother to the Prince of ASTURIAF, co.,,:ived, in the
latter end of last month, to make It's escape from
his chamber, with a view of flying into Spain.—
He had not proceeded far,-however, before he was
seized and brought back to the Chateau, where, with 11
his Royal Brothers, he now remains closely guarded.
—lt was supposed in Paris, that the person to whom
the young Prince confided his intention of escape,
and by whom it was planned, had betrayed him. 13y
others, it was imagined that the Prince was treacher-
ously induced by him to make this attempt to escape,
in order to afford a pretext for the more rigorous con-
finement of himself and his two Brothers.

PORTUGUESE PATRIOTS.
In the preceding cdlumns will also be found some
Proclamations and other articles published :n Portu-
gal to animate the Patriots in that country. They
are copied (iom a journal called “ The Loyd Porto-
' 'nese," of which a series has been received by a vessel
from Oporto, and which left that place on the 14th.
Some of these articles are curious, and savour a little
of the finesse which the/much have so often employed
in publishing fictitious dispatches. Of this kind, we
consider " the Original Order, &an:witted to the Captain
General by NAPOLEON," which the Oporto Editor in-
forms his Readers was copied from the St. Sago Ga-
zette. Its tendency is so obvious, that but little doubt'
can be entertained of its source.
