SARAGOSSA, AUGUST 27.

On the morning of the '2oth, the Proclamation of
our beloved Monarch, Ferninand, as King, was made
with the accustomed formalities.

[Then follows a description of the solemnities,
naming the streets and squares where the scaffolds, &c.
were erected, with other details, from which it ap-
pears, that this ceremony was more affecting and in-
; teresting, from the contrast it afforded to the suffer-
! ings from which the city had been recently delivered
by the raising of the siege.]
On the 25th was celebrated with the greatest pomp
(the Captain-General presiding), military honours for
the illustrious defenders of the city and country, who
had fallen in the late siege, whose heroism was the
theme of a funeral oration by Father Bogiero, preacher
to his Majesty.
A Council of Health has been established in this
city, to provide against the effects of putrefaction,
arising from the many French corpses which were left
in the buildings and streets of the city.
Our army remains on the frontiers of Navarre,
and is prepared to combine its operations with those
of the Asturian, Gallician, Castilian, and Andalusian
armies. We have no doubt of a favourable result
, from these combinations, aided by the English, and
supported by the enthusiasm with which the whole
nation multiplies its means of defending its glory and
liberty.
The following intelligence from Pampeluna has
!• been communicated in letters worthy of credit :
" On the 17th of August, there left this place for
France, 97 horse, and six waggons, loaded with
wounded Frenchmen ; and from that day the French
' settled here have been incessantly setting out on their
way to France, taking with them all their effects, so
that in a short time none will remain. In the evening
,of the same day, I saw 64 waggons, and 127 horses
enter, with wounded men ; among these were the
Commandant of the 70th Regiment, a Capain of
Cuirassiers, an Aide-de-Camp of General Dubai, all
wounded. Also there arrived 83 horses, loaded with
bombs, balls, and shells, proceeding from the manu-
factory of Orbaiceta. Friday the 4th [A like enu-
meration of small bodies, both of those entering the
town, and those passing the fortress to France.]
" Saturday the 420th the city was in confusion, for,
• at three in the morning, 2CO wounded set out for
France, and at nine o'clock 512 wounded entered the
place, together with several officers, and the Colonel
of the 14th regiment, who died on the way. We
cannot give an exact account of the great numbers
brought into the Royal Hospital, those loUnging to
four monasteries, and others recently established.
We have beea shocked at the sight of so much suf-
fering ; for some of the wounded died in the stWets,
not being brought into any house ; others appeared to
languish for want of assistance, and when some broth
was brought to them by the inhabitants, appeared to be
restored from death to life. It is not possible to form an
idea of the inhumanity with which the French treat
their own countrymen, exposing them to the incle-
mency of the season during the night, and suffering
them to remain 15 or 16 hours without food. This
morning, at ten o'clock, the waggons of wounded
filled seven or eight of the principal streets, and I do
not think they can be accommodated in the Hospital
these six or seven hours. At the same time came in,
wounded, the French Generals Verdier and Lefebre.
This day also set out for France, 37 waggons with
wounded soldiers.

" In all the streets we see exposed to sale a vast
quantity of church plate, linen, clothes, watches,
jewels, &c. effects which had been stolen in Navarre
and Arragon—they are offered for a very low price ;
but there are no buyers, except for the church plate,
which is purchased with a view to restore it to the
lawful owners at the price which is paid for it."
