VICH, AUGUST 2.2.

The Junta here has 'received from that of Gerona
the following advices, of the date of the 19th inst.
After the enemy bad precipitately abandoned t'le
field, taking their way to Barcelona and Figueras, the
most active exertions were made to pursue them in
both directions, by Don Francisco Milans and Don
Juan Chaos, the former following them with the
troops under his command along the shore, and the
latter by the way of Ampurdan.
4, When the French an ived near Calella and the
villages near the coast, they were surprised by a vigo-
rous fire which some English frigates, and the small
squadron of S. Felice, commenced upon them. This
obliged them to abandon their artillery, consisting of
6 pieces of cannon and a howitzer, and 70 waggons,
with provisions, part of which they burned themselves.
The resistance to the enemy was rapidly cOnimuni-
cased along the whole coast, as far as S. Boy, and all
the villages sent out armed parties to meet them ; 600
men came out from Santa Coloma, 400 lrom FLstal.
rich, and 2000 were collected at S. Boy for the same
purpose. We may therefore hope the most con ',tete
success over the enemy, who flies attacked and liar-
rassed on all sides. The other French division having
arrived at Llers, imposed on that and the neighbour-
ing villages, an exorbitant contribution of wine and
meal, Which, however, they could not collect, as
General de Caldagues immediately marched by the
way of Lerida, to join his forces to those of Glares,
in order to cut off their retreat."

A Centleman who was landed at one of the out-ports
yesterday from a vessel from Holland, informs us that
there was a great bustle among the military in that
country, all being on the march or setting of for Spain;
that no articles whatever are allowed to be imported
into Holland, lest such a permission should be bene+
ficial to British commerce ; but that almost every
kind of merchandize is permitted to be exported, as
the Dutch Merchants may thereby be benefited, by
receiving British gold even for raw materials ; since
they cannot again be received on the Continent in a
manufactured state ! I —This Gentleman had not
heard the report mentioned in the letters to which
we yesterday alluded, of disturbances in France oc-
casioned by the calling out of the conscripts for 18101

Yesterday two Portuguese Messengers arrived at
Bristol from Oporto, which place they left on the
11th instant. Upon their arrival in London they
proceeded to the residence of the Portuguese Am.
bassador.

We have this day inserted in our columns some
farther extracts from the Spanish papers received yes-
terday; but they add little to what was before known.
The only prominent fact pressed on our observation,
in these journals, is the preparation makingto attack the
French army now concentrated near Lograno; and we
with we had not found it there. It would be more svise
in the Spaniards to follow the system of Precautions pub-
fished at first by the Junta of Seville, than to becotne
the assailants of a veteran French army. There would
be a greater certainty of success by following a de-
fensive system, and harassing, without coming a
general action, their foe, in all his movements. The
Patriots may triumph in a pitched b :le, but they
may be defeated : by follcwing a different line of
conduct, they would assuredly be the victors.
