CORUNNA, JUNE 14.
—From a person arrived here from Madrid, which
he left at noon on the 30th of June, we learn, that no
more than 5000 French troops remained quartered
there, exclusive of 2500 sick in the hospitals, who,
for the greater part, were brought there wounded.—
That on the day previous to his departure (the 29th
June) between seven and eight o'clock in the evening,
Murat had taken his departure from that Court, es-
coned by 400 men selected from the Imperial Guard,
and the ablest horses ; that hi was proceeding, lying
on two mattresses, in his carriage, and very infirm,
which gave colour to the report of his death.
He adds, that in Madrid they had positive assu-
rancesby all the letters from Valencia, that General
Moncey had given himself up, with his whole army
of 10,000 men, with all military honours, and that
the General is treated at Valencia with all Spanish
generosity.
He further adds, that on the day of his departure,
it was understood at Madrid, that the foreposts of the
army of Fa:havaria, were within four leagues of the
enemy, and that he demanded 40,000 rations for his
army from the inhabitants of Ocana and Aranguez ;
in Madrid the command was exercised by Savary and
Grouchy. The individual from whom we have this
information is Don Luis Quiraga, chief Officer of the
Provincial Treasury, of known integrity.
CORUNNA GAZETTE, JUNE 30.
From Toledo they write, that General Moncey had
passed through Cuenca, with 8000 men, as some say
for Valencia, and as others say for Saragossa.
We yesterday inserted some accounts relating to
this last point, in conformity with four attested let.
ters received from Madrid, which were shewn to us,
and it appears, on the whole, that there is no room
to doubt the complete dispersion of from 16 to 17,000
Frenchmen at Il Lamberto.—(There are two places
of this name, one a league distant from Saragossa ;
the other a sanctuary and farms, three leagues from
Kausta, which is eight from Saragossa.)
The accounts from Madrid state, Murat is appa-
rently taking measures to fortify himself at Buon
tiro ; but that in reality he is preparing to fly into
France, and if that movement has not already been
executed, it is for fear of being cut off in the retreat
VILLANOVA DE GLLTEN, IUZ4A 25.
A French corps consisting of 9,000 infantry and
cavalry, and a proportionate number of artillery,
after haying passed from Barcelona to Tarragon, and
fallen back to assist another corps, which attempted
to enter Mantesa, was obliged u give up its object,
the first corps also failing of its purpose, great loss
having been sustained on both sides. The following
day the enemy marched for the fort of Muntgat, sold
to them by treason, and passed on to Mataro, where
after a considerable stay, they destroyed some houses,
giving seven hours plunder, and imposing a contribu-
tion of 8,000 pair of shoes.—They then proceeded to
Auns and Canet, and there also they imposed a con-
tribution of three thousand pair of shoes. The mi-
serable town of Calliga they mulcted in 4,000 piastres.
They then went on to Giuna and a place called
Granatog el Suio, where they had a rencontre with
our troops, who obliged them to retreat, after having
suffered a considerable loss in killed and wounded,
the greater part of those who remained having laid
down their arms. The artillery, the cars of proii-
sions, ammunition, and money, remained at that
place. In their retreat they did not retain their usual
haughtiness of manner, nor did they hold their heads
so high as before ; the wounded entered Barcelona
without inconvenience, and the survivors entered that
.city in like manner. his presumed; that there are
in the city, of 15,000 men wha composed the army
of observation of the Eastern Pyrenees, £lOOO remain-
ing, and the greater part of those are wounded al-
most incurably, insomuch that siz or eight die daily.
Many reports are circulated about what is tiassing
in Madrid, the Sierra Morena, and Arragon ; but as
no regular courier arrives, we know not the truth of
any of these stories.
PAMPELUVA,-
It is stated that another action has Won place in
Arragon, on the 26th or 27th, with great slaughter
on, both sides. Nothing more was known, except That
the Arragonese pursued the enemy as beasts and not
as men.

time that Llamas and Cerbellos, with more than
30,000 men, were pursuing the rear-guard of the
French. There were 7000 men in the last reinforce. '

at Valencia.

MADRID, JULY 16,

A thousand reports are circulated respecting the
rencontres that have taken place in the plains and
towns of Valencia, Arragon, and Andalua, and in
other places. The newspapers here are all under res-
trail, and they publish nothing that is true. -

VILLAPARA, JULY

Since the last encounter, we remain in expectation
of another, which will be more fortunate ; and from
the excelleat,clispositions our General has taken, we
have the •most sanguine hopes. We have plentiful
suppliessand the best discipline, we want nothing,
and we are in the best condition.

ASTORGA, JULY 36.

The army of Gallicia, divided as it is fit it should
be, into a number of districts closely connected, occu-
pies the same points as before, and every man is inci-
ted and determined more and more, by the hopes and
assurances England had given of such pecuniary aid-
as we owe to the generosity of England, and to all
the cities and towns of our good kingdom of Gallicia,
in its continued gifts, and aid of every descAption.
