ANOTHER ETTER-SAN'F DATE.

" The MEDIATOR, of N.; guns, has arrived from San-
tander in nine days, with dispatches for Government.
" By this vessel accounts have been received of
repeated or rather unremitting contests having been
carried on by the French army under General NET,
and the Patriots under General BLAKE, from the sth
to the 12th instant. For some days the enemy was
triumphant and the Spaniards lost much ground, but
at length the Spaniards were triumphant, repelled the
enemy, and obtained a signal victory.
" The first successes of the enemy had spread a
very general alarm. Many of the principal inhabi.
tants of Santander, considering the affairs of the pa-
triots in that quarter as irretrievable, had embarked,
some of them on board the very ship that has now
arrived, to transport themselves to some place of
safety. But the success of the Patriots had eventually
been so decisive, that the whole had disembarked be-
fore the MEDIATOR kft Santander.

44 The accounts differ as to the loss of the enemy.
Some state their killed and wounded at 6000 men;
others make is still more considerable. The late t
accounts eccivCd at Santander represent them as re.
orating with great precipitation, and in a state of
confusion impossible to be described.
44 The Patriots also aufesed considerably, but
haying been joined by General ROMANA with 15,000
VW% immediately aver the victory, they were pre.

paring to follow up the adssintage they had gained, de-
termined not to allow the enemy moment's respite.
General BLAKE'S army,' before it was joined by Gen.
ROMANA, was only 18,000 strong. It is impossible
to calculate the benefits that might be expected to
result from such an augmentation."

ANOTHER LETTER.
4' PLYMOUTH DOCK, NOVEMBER 26.
" The MEDIATOR, Capt. BLAMEY, arrived late last
night, with dispatches for Government, after nine
days passage from Santander, which place she left
on the 16th instant, up to which date there had been
continual fighting, between the contending armies.—
The particulars, as far as they have been suffered to
transpire, are as follow :

" Previous to the 12th, General BLAKE'S army were
worsted in several rencounters with the enemy ; so
much so, that it was deemed prudent to detain the
transports, which had taken over the cavalry and ar-i
tillery from this country.—On the 12th,"at midnight, ,
a general and sanguinary engagement took place at
Reynosa. It was commenced by the enemy, who at- !
tacked General BLAKE'S army in their position at
that place. The battle was obstinately contested for i
several hours ; but the French were in the end de-
feated, with the loss of between seven and eight thou-
sand men. The enemy buried all their dead ; and
430 charrous, or baggage carts, each carrying three
or four wounded men, passed by the village of Esp-
nosa, which is only eight leagues from Santander.—
The loss of the Patriots, in this engagement, was
comparatively trifling. Brigadier Count SAN Ro-
MAN, Colonel of the Prince's regiment, is dangerously
wounded ; and Dox ANTONIA DE ARCOT killed.
These are the only officers of rank who have suffered.
" A few hours prior to this action, which termi-
nated so gloriously for the cause of the brave Spa-
niards, the gallant Marquis de ROMANA had joined
General BLAKE, with a reinforcement of 15,000
men, which determined the Patriots to give battle to
the enemy ; the result of which was as above de-
scribed. After the engagement, the Spaniards
marched to the Point of Escudo, (a valley leading
to Santander) in order to cut off the enemy's retreat;
but the French being acquainted with their intention
by means of spies, altered their course, and made a
precipitate movement towards Burgos, to reinforce
their army before that place.
" The French army consisted of 25,000; that of the
Spaniards, including Marquis ROMANA'S division,
amounted to 35,000.

While these events were taking place at Reynosa,
a division of Patriots under the command of GAL-
Luzo, accompanied, it is said, by a British and Por-
ttiguese Army, arrived before Burgos, from Estre..
madura. They were speedily attacked by the French.
The contest was violent, but THE ENEMY WAS AT
LENGTH DEFEATED WITH GREAT LOSS.

66 We have not learnt what part of the British
Troops was engaged in this affair; but it was proba-
bly those under Sir DAVID BAIRD.—The date of the
action is not stated, but it is supposed to have taken
place on the 13th or 14th instant.
" Subsequent to these actions, a more decisive battle
is stated to have taken place ; with the particulars of
which we are as yet unacquainted, any further than
that it terminated to the total discomfiture of the
enemy.

" At two o'clock on the morning of the 17th, an
express arrived at Santander, from General BLAKE,
announcing the result of this great action fought on
the two preceding days. The enthusiasm and valour
displayed by the Spaniards in this long and obsti-
nately contested battle, bore down all opposition ;
and our informant, (who heard the details read at
Santona) adds, that the FREIsICH were literally
CUT to PIECES.

" General BLAKE'S vanguard were on their march
for Santander."

GOTTENBURGH MAILS.
Last night two Gottenburgh Mails arrived, and
brought official intelligence of the Armistice in Fin-
land having been terminated. The notice was given
by the Russian Commander on 'the 19th, and of
course hostilities were to be renewed on the 27th,
at one o'clock in the afternoon. The official ac-
counts say nothing of an engagement in conse-
quence,
but a letter from Gottenburgh says, that on
the day on which the armistice terminated a severe
battle was fought, in which the Russians were com-
pletely dt feated. The Russian Prince Dotoonuciu
is stated to have been killed in the action.—The Em-
peror of RUSMA arrived at Riga on the 26th ult. on
his way to Petersburgh.
