Monday morning his Majesty's ships I'Am...
of 36, and RESISTANCE) of 44 guns. arrived at Fl3l
mouth fro*i Quiberon. with about 90 sail of trans-
ports under convoy, being part of theist which lauded
the French troops from Lisbon.

Last night Government received dispatches from
the North of Spain, brought to Falmouth by the
WINDSOR CUITLE packet, Captain Sorrow, which
reached that port on Monday morning, in five days
from Santander. These dispatches are dated the 31st
nit. and announis
`BATTLE
•So have taken place on the 24th beWOCA the Spanish
Ntriots under General Btmcs, and the division of
ills French Army commanded by Marshal Nzy.
which terminated in favour of the former.

-• -oeneral &Atte having concentrated his force, and
'put hit army in the best possibleetate, advanced from
illilbOa„ and on the 24th attacked, the' enemy with
spirit at ZentOsta, on the road to Pt:tango.—
iThe actiotr was smart while it continued i but. the
enemy, not wishing to risque the issue of a continued
contest, soon began to retreat. The result was a
skirmish continued during the whole time of the roj
trograde movement •of the-french, till the latter I
rt
•reached a position near Durango, where they have 1
a considerable force.
The Spanish army advanced as far as Zernostifi.
from whence General BLAU: meant to make a free.
attack upon the enemy in a few days, who it left,
thought 'would risque a general battle in defence or
Durango, as the only means of saving themselves
'finm the effects of 'a most disadvantageous retreat.
' Oa the . 26th, General 'taxi's head quarters
were at Salignas, twenty-eight miles 8. E. of Da:
boa, and only eight miles North.from 'Vittoria. •Chi

The accounts which have reached us differ as to thi
loss sustained by the contending armies in the above
contest, which ought rather to be coasidered in die
light of successive skirmishes, than as a regular en. I
gagement. It was reported at Santander, that in
one,skirmish, during the retrograde movement of dig
enemy; a French corps, consisting of upwards of owe
1 thousand infantry, was cut off from the main body,
by a part of General BLAKIe4 airily, and compelled
to surrender ; and that most of the prisoners had so.
licited to be allowed to enter the Spanish ranks.—
The latter fact would not surprise us, but it rests
only on the authority of a rumour at Santander. •
The army under the command of BLaxe is esti-
mated at 50,000 men, mostly infantry;—that under
CAsmaos is nearly 60,000, including a goat num.
