Coneentayna, of the date the 16th April, as follows
I am sorry not to be able to give you a circumstantial
detail of our labOure, and at the same time of our
victories. It appears that Divots PROVIDENCE is
wearied with protecting the satellites of the tyrant, as
since we left Alicant we have met with nothing but
victories. It is now six in the morning, and we are
encamped a quarter of a league beyond Coneentayna,
having joined the regiment of Chinchilla, with which
we form the vanguard. There are Eitglish and Ca-
labrese, both infantry and cavalry.
" Now that it is seven we have received orders to
march, we know not distinctly whither, but we sup-
pose forwards to San Felipe de Xaliou. Five Colonels,
43 officers, and 2000 wounded French, have passed
from Xativa to Valencia.

are, that the enemy abandoned SOO wounded in Biar.
—Our head-quarters were in Alcoi ;—the adygnced
guards near St. Felipe ; General Elio in Fuente la
Higuera."

44 The continual conveying of provisions which
there is in the vicinity of Ciudad Rodrigo, leaves no
doubt that the Allied Army is going to put itself
in motion."

APRIL 111.

" According to accounts from Aranjuez, the French
were to have left Madrid yesterday. The troops
which were in Ciudad Real are marching by Toledo
and Puebla de Senabria.

They write from Toledo, that Morello and Penne
were expected there."
" GRANADA, APRIL 22.

" We are assured that several letters from Alicant
state, that 1500 of the prisoners taken in the last ac-
tion of General Murray with Sucher, have arrived
at that place, and that the battalion of Veliz Malaga,
has been recovered."

66 General Arispe is wounded—l have been as-
sured that he is dead. I will not fail to send you
accounts when opportunity offers.
gg A Colonel, in the vanguard of the 2d army,
writes as follows, of the date of the 18th.—We have
already taken 4000 French. I hope soon to be able
to send you still more favourable accounts." From the details brought by the above Mail, rela-

appeared in the Journal de ?Empire. If an action
took place on the 2d instant, the French might have
some advantage, for, as we stated yesterday, they are
at present numerically Superior to the Allies in that
Tinter ; but nothing that can affect the general pro-
spects of the campaign can yet have taken place.—
' Letters of the 6th instant from Hamburgh, only two
days post from Lutzen, are in town, which men-
tion nothing of any official details from the armies.
—lt is possible that there may have 'been a buds

on the 29th ult. the Emperor of RUSSIA'S Head-
s quarters were at Altenburgh, and OH the 30th those
of NAPOLEON were at Naumbourgh, while several of
his corps were still in the rear. Under such circum-
' stances, some actions like those of the 27th, 28th, and
29th ult. might take place by the 2d instant; but
there could hardly be a general action by that time.
j EXTRACTED FROM THE LETTER OF AN OFFICER UNDER

rendered.
" At break of day, on the 12th, Arispe's division,
which returned from Yetla, had joined him; and
when part of the allied army began to march upon
Villina, for the purpose of saving Velez, Suchet
marched with all his forces with the object of attack-
ing Viar.—At three iii the afternoon, they presented
themselves within shot of the English, when, as it
was not General Murray's intention to maintain that
position, his troops were retiring, disputing the
ground by inches, till night put an end to the contest.
This not being conformable to the enemy's plan, im-
mediately that he observed the allied army was re-
concentrating itself in Castella, he advanced his
fibrces ; end at noon yesterday, after having displayed
all his cavalry, advanced a corps of 2000 infantry
with the idea of forcing the left of ear line, which
the van-guard -of General Whittingham's division
covered ; hut these troops and the English, whom
he encountered at this point, received the atLact with
the utmost serenity.
46 They allowed the enemy to approach to the
very points of their bayonets, and then charged
breaking the French column, killing, wounding, orl
making prisoners, the unhappy slaves who composed
it. Suchet having seen the result of his first attempt,
was obliged to change his plan, and that was to vi-
gorously attack the line, and reduce his operations to li
making various movements and putting himself in
retreat. General Murray immediately ordered nine
battalions and 1500 Horse, with ten pieces' of artil-
lery, to pursue, who caused terrible loss to the ene-
my's columns, which continued their retrograded
march, beaten and fatigued. The allied troops are
pursuing them, and I expect we shall obtain still
greater advantages. In the mean time I have the
satisfaction of communicating to your Excellency the
result of the operations of the army during the last
three days, which you will be pleased to publish in
your City and Province. Goo guard, &c.

The Regricy Gazette of the 29th contains a long
detailed account from General Elio to the Chief of
the Staff at Cadiz, which is in substance the same as
the foregoing. He estimates the loss of the enemy,
in the attack of the British line on the 13th, at nearly
two thousand.
The same Paper also contains a letter from Se-
nor F. Migares, in which be states his loss on the
11th to be :.:00 killed, and about 1000 wounded, the
greater part of whom fell into the handsof the French.
He declares his troops fought with the greatest bra-
very, and that it was alone owing to the great supe-
riority of the enemy they were beaten.

",CADIZ, APRIL t 4.
~• If we may believe some reports, the Vandals
have again approached the right bank of the Tagus.
The Generals Hill and Morello have however made
a movement, and it appears that its direction is to.
wards Talavera.
64 The intelligence which we have from Madrid,
comes down to the 13th. The enemy shewed, by
dispositions, that he was preparing for a, speedy re.
treat. He continues his vexations and crimes.
44 A convoy of seven ships has arrived at Alicant
with Sicilian troops."
