SPAIN.

We have, at length, received farther actunnts frem
Spain, by the arrival of the SNAPPER schooner, from
Corunna, with a Mail, and with dispatches for Go.
vernmont ; and by the arrival of the PLELVIAN,
18 guns, from Gijon.
Oar accounts by the former come down to the llth,
and the PERUVIAN to the 16th inst. The particulars
are detailed in the subjoined letter from our Plymouth
correspondent, and in the letters and extracts that fol-
low. The letter from Carthagena of the 20th ult. de.
1 serves particular attention. If we may credit its
statement, (nor does it appear improbable) the whole
Kingdom of Naples, imitating the example of the
brave Spaniards, is now in a state of •
against the French !

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 21.

Last evening arrived the SNAPPER schooner, Lieut.
W. B. CHANIPION, from Corunna, with dispatches for
Government : she was sent by Rear-Admiral de COUR-
CM', and the dispatches were forwarded immediately.
A Gentleman came passenger in her, who set off for
London at same time. We have not been able to get
the particulars of the intelligence that she has brought,
but we understand that, the day the SNAPPER sailed, it
was reported, at Corunna, that tie different divisions
of the Spanish Army had, by a well.concerted plan
of co-operation, nearly all reached Burgos, at which
place King JOSEPH and the French army had deter-
mined to make a stand : and it was further supposed,
that an attack would very soon take price.—A rumour
is in circulation, that tilt sailing of Major DALRN M-
PLE, from hence for Lisbon, has been countermanded
by a Telegraphic dispatch.

GIJON, SEPTEMBER in.

Yesterday arrived here his Majesty's ships Cossack
and Comet, the former from Santander, the latter
from Plymouth, with near a million of dollars on
board, part of which are for the service of Spain, and
with the remainder she will sail in a day 6.r two for
Oporto. In the afternoon arrived the Swallow brig,
Captain Milner, convorisig eight sail of transports,
sent here to receive on, board 2000 Merino sheep, pre-
sented by the Junta of this principality to his Majesty
the King of Great Britain. Soon after the Swallow
came to an anchor, a boat put off from her with the
Captain, the Hon. Captain Herbert, a Mr. Creed,
and the Agent for transports, and seven seamen.-.

Just as they were upon the bar a sea broke over thew,
filled the boat, and plunged the whole into the sea;
the greater part, by taking hold of the boat, kept
themselves above water, and supported themselves on
oars and planks till the boats which immediately put
off from shore picked them up. Unfortunately, how-
ever, they were unable to save Captain Herbert and
Mr. Creed, who sunk before they arrived. These
two gentlemen came out for the purpose of visiting
this country ; the former was son to the Earl of Car-
narvon, and the latter to Mr. Creed, the Navy Agent.
SEPTEMBER IS.

The whole of the French force in Spain are con-
centrated in Biscay and Navarre, to the number of
40,000 men. The Gallician army, 53,000 strong,
commanded by General Blake, are within a few hours
march of them. General Castanos is marching to
co-operate with General Blake, and General Palafos
is also advancing for the same purpose. The French,
it is estimated, have lost 113,000 men, in killed,
wounded, and prisoners in Spain and Portugal.-
350,000 Spaniards are now under arms in the differ-
ent provinces of Spain.
