OLOT, (CATALONIA), SEPTEMBER 10.

The cruel Duhesme, not content with imitating the
French Emperor, in putting to death his prisoners,
has carried to Monjul the most respectable persons of
Barcelona, and tearing from the arms of mothers
their tender children, for the purpose of having them
rahtomed with money, has now pointed the cannon
of the citadel against the unfortunate inhabitants of
the city, threatening them with death if they do not
furnish him with 12,000 daily rations for four months,
and an excessive number of pipes of wine and brandy,
the value of which will amount to 1,450,000 teals in
specie. The Magistracy and Corporation neither
will nor can satisfy this demand, and have replied,
th.lt they waited every moment in expectation of
death. This inhuman General, after spending twenty
days in the blockade of Gerona, into which he threw
in one night 4.00 bombs and grenades, saw himself
under the necessity of flying on the 16th ult. On his
retreat to Barcelona, he lost 3000 men, with all the

carriages and artillery which he had carried off from
his encampment. General Lechi had marched out
to assist him with 1500 men, and a very considerable
tt ain of artillery • but with great loss of both, he was
e i to shut himself up in the city. In Coll de
Cn 'ols there were taken forty-seven waggon loads of
• ffects, which were carrying towards France, escorted
by 50 soldiers, whom the Somatenes took prisoners ;
• at Montagut one standard ; and in the action at Ge-
rona, a great quantity of provisions, three mortars,
23 pieces of large calibre, 150 casks of cartridges,
many cannon balls, 75 bombs, and 150 grenades.
The enemy being thHs shut up in Barcelona, our
troops have extended a cordon, which Duhesme vainly
attempted to surprise on the 2d instant, since at all
points he met with such a resistance that he was obli-
ged to retire to his blockaded retreat. But, like a
ravenous wolf, he made another sally on thesth with
from 7 to 8000 men, who took by surprise the artillery
en Coll de Moncada ; but, on the following day, the
Catalonians, reinforced, retook that post, with all the
artillery, and what had been robbed in that territory,
killing a great number.

General Sir Hew Dauer/me and Sir WILLIAM
Scorr have arrived in England, from Portugal.
They were landed yesterday at Portsmouth, from on
board the nose frigate, and immediately set off for
London. They have since arrived.—The public, of
course, may expect that some enquiry will immedi.
ately be instituted to ascertain whether any or what
degree of blame attaches to the events that have lately
tiken place in PortugaL
The question for discussion will probably not be,
merely whether, under the circumstances in which
the respective armies were, at the date of the C.etveition,
abetter terms might or might not have been comman-
ded ?—but whether, if the victory of the 21st °flu-
gust bad been instantly followed up, hy a fresh a-
tacV, the enemy could afterwards have found himself
iu circumstances that would have warranted our
C mmanders to accede to any terms short of his un-
conditional surrender ?—lt is very possible that by the
29th of August the French had partly retrieved their
affairs, and strengthened their positions ; and a prin-
cipal point in the enquiry ought to be—Whence rose
this delay ?
The Convention has caused our army to remain
inactive in Portugal for a considerable time, which
is an evil of no little magnitude—for until the French`
were embarked, agreeably to the Convention, it be.,
came impossible to employ it on any other service.—
One reason for the continuance of our army in Por-
tugal is assigned, in a private letter, from Lisbon--/a
reason which we we did not anticipate, and which
gives the finishing touch to the graceful Convention
which our military statesmen concluded with the ene-
my. We are assured that the French hesitate, or in
other words refuse, to surrender the great frontier posts
of Elvas and Almeida. These, as they command the
entry into Spain, they still retain in their hands. Not a
sylhl was said of this until they had embarked with
and carries, off their plunder ; but the momest that
they thought themselves and booty safe—and that they
were fairly► ditched to join-their countrymen in the
ova of our Al!., it became a consideration in what
.. •
way they could bar detain ou armyln Portugal, and
prevent its coming to the assistance of the Span*tle.
Under the various pretexts of not yielding to tote
potuguese, of riot considering dr order as genuine,
of not feeiir g themselves safe to traverse the pun'
