CANTON, Dec. 23, 1807.—There are now sveral
ships at Bambon, both-English and American ; 13
of the former belonging to the East India Company,
the others are in,ntunber six or eight. On the 3d of
December a trading ship from China, belonging to an
English merchant, and loaded for Bengal, took fire,
and burnt to the water's edge.
The British ships of war :have committed many
hostilities near Macao. The. English have killed an
American Captain who had twice refused them per-
mission to come on board to examine his ship. To
justify this murder, they declared that the Captain
was a pirate, and without any other form of process
carried away the ship; cargo, and crew. We well
know, however, that the American • Captain. never
committed any act of piracy. His name is Nicholls,
he commanded the ship the Topaz trading to China,
and appertaining to one of the first houses in Balti-
more. We shall see what the Americans will say to
this act of violence.—Menitemr, Jay 29.

SEVILLE, JUNE 2S,

Lieutenant Colonel Don Juan de la Cruz Mouses'
writes from Arongilla, on the 23d of the present
month, to the Lord Marquis of Coupigni, Contemn-
dant of the vanguard, and to the Supreme Junta, the
following account of the glorious engageMent which
has taken place with a party of the army of Dupont.:
At three in the morning of that day, Mourgen put
hinneW in march, with the intention of occupyirer
the advanced posts of Arongilla, with the corps un-
der his command, composed of the company of Wal-
loon Guards, that of Balbastro, the volunteers of Va-
lencia, those of Campomiyor ; the cavalry of the
Prince, the dragoons of the Queen, the hussars of
Ontiaveir, of Berlin, and the squadrons of Cannona.
Tk's column being put in order, proceeded by the
cat.seway of Aldea del Rios, and when he had ad-
vanc•.hl about three quarters of a league, Captain Don
Joseph St. Martin informed him that he had disco-
vered a party of the enemy. An attack was imme•
diately ordered, but as it could not be executed on
account of the enemy betaking themselves to flight,
it was resolved to cut them dff by taking another
course. St. Martin marched a circuitous way, sup-
ported by a party of the Campomayor, under the
command of a Sub-Lieutenant of the same, Don
Cayelano de Miranda and the cavalry under his com-
mand ; the hussars of Olivenza and Bourbon, the
strength of which was twenty-one horse. With these
he passed to the post house cf St. Cecdia. On go.
ing out of that place he had a view of the enemy,
who were formed in order of haute, in the confidence
that St. Martin, with his small party, however brave;
would not dare to attack them. That Ofiieer, how.
ever, regarding only the orders of his superior, placed
his troops in order of battle, and attacked with such
intrepidity that he completely routed the enem. y,leav-
ing on the field a great number of dragoons dead,and
taking many others prisoners, whom, though woun-
ded, they brought in on their own horses, the officer
and the remaining soldiers having Red in such terror,
that they threw away their helmets. They lek be
hind them fifteen excellent hones. The remeinder
were killed. Lieutenant-Colonel Mourgen ordered a
retreat, observing that a reinforcement of 100 hone
was coring to the enemy. The Lieutenant of the
Cavalry of the Prince Don- Carlos I:ansivotte was,
in consequence, ordered to support St. Martin on the
Cat . mu:ay. The Dragoons of the Queen were, at the
vane Lard-, ordered to advance on the right, underthe.
command of Captain Don Joseph de Tones.

The reserve of the Column of Don Joseph Botryai,
Captain Commandant of the Company .of Masseurs
of the Wal:oon guard, was added, with orders to Labe
a posi: inft to ccver the baggage and ammunition.—
With this operation they were satisfied, and retired
in ,he 'aor. order. St. Martin has passed the most
distinguished eulogium on all his corps, particidatty
on the serjeant of the hussars of ()hyena; Pedro de

Martos; and on the elute:ens' of the same, Juan de
D.os, who at his own imminent danger saved the life
ofihe serjeant of cavalry Eorbon Antonio Ramos,
and of a soldier of the same regiment named Ignacio
Alonzo. Those wio fled in inanser, art the boasted
eoaquerors of Jena aed .datterlita.

More Sangria Loan—Tie day at two in the morning, our
most illustrious Bishop received a courier from the Supreme
Junta of Valencia, with orders to communicate its contents 'to
Carthogena and Orichuela, which was aecordingly done. But
preserving the original, I hold it a respect due to your Excellency
to transmit to you a Mend copy, which Is as follows :
This Junta makes known to your Most Serene Junta, with the
greatest satisfaction, that Marshal Moniey, having advanced with
his army to the walls of this city, he made a spirited attack with
his troops and batteries, the fire froM which urns kept up for
seven hours without intermission ; but it was so completely an-
swered by the most animated fire from this place, that on the fol-
lowing morning the enemy struck their tents with precipitation,
and having marched in a vague direction the whole of yesterday,
have this day made for the Royal Road of Almanza, with the
remnant of their force, having left in the vicinity of this place a
multitude of dead bodies. The roads are covered with wounded
cryjpg aloud for their officers and for their companions in arms,
and for any means of self preservation. At this moment we are
taking the most active measures to cut off the enemy's retreat,and
tb destroy them completely. We conclude with the expression
of the most heart-felt congratulation to your supreme justice.

A literal copy of the dispatch received by express
from Grenada, made known to the loyal and brave
inhabitants of this place, for their encouragement and
gratification, by order of the Supreme Junta.
