SPANISH PAPERS.

SEVILLE, NOV. 16.

The head-quarters of the army of La Mancha are
Mill at Dos Barrios,.and the vanguard and first divi-
sion at Ocana, where our troops overthrew the French
who dared to oppose them. Our cavalry is near
Aranjuex. The enemy disputes every toot of ground,
and a battle is every moment expected in that quar-
ter. General Bernay, with '2,O(X) cavalry, fought
bravely at Almonacid ' • but a reinforcement of 5000
infantry and some cavalry which the enemy received,
obliged him to return to his position at Mora, from
whence he observes the movements of the French di-
vision which covers Toledo. The Duke del Parque
occupies the pass of Banns and the bridge of Bezar.
Although the Duke of Albuquerque has for the pre-
sent fallen back, it is known that he bill return to
cover the Tagus.
The relief which is stated to have been given to
Gerona, with provisions for 50 days, requires„confir-
mation. It is said, that a sortie of the garrisml, com-
bined with a movement of the troops under Blake,
enabled the succour to penetrate, at the point of the
bayonet, through the enemy's line ; and to reach the
square where there are seven mills protected by bat-
ozries. That army and that garrison have pertmed
so many prodigies of valour, that this fresh instance
ought not to surprise us : nevertheless, we wish not
to state it positively till we know it officially.
Another Expedition against Naples is preparing at
Sicily. A ship of the line, a frigate, several gun7boats,
and 15 transports, have already sailed from Messina,
and steered towards Calabria ; it seems that they
threaten Gallipoli. The English have landed in con-
siderable force at Policastro. Murat has demanded
as from the French divisions which are in the
j Pontifical States.

It appears that the enemy intended to surprise our
army of the centre in the rear, directing its march
towards Tembleque by Almonacid ; but the military
talent of our General in Chief has prevented this di-
version, and, besides, he has sent a reinforcement to
the bridge of Despena Perras, without interrupting
his march towards the capital. It is probable that the
surprised and intercepts/it will be the French. Some
of our scouts have engaged the enemy at the Rugal ;
the result has been to our advantage, and has accre-
dited the honour of our cavalry. The head-quarters
are at Ocana.

Nov. ls.—The army of La Mancha completed the
bridge on the night of the Ilth inst, and two batta-
lions have already passed the Tagus, to reconnoitre
the right hank. The whole army was afterwards to
follow, except a division which was to act on ano-
ther point. The troops have made a march extremely
painful ; which could not have been pgr I orm ed by
soldiers less disciplined and enthusiastic. The head
quarters have removed from Dos Barrios to Santa
Cruz de la Zarza.
MANRESA, OCTOBER 22.

Copy of a dispatch addressed to the Governor of
Matona, &c. by Don Francisco de Den) commanclant
of the encampment of Conrena :
sEGNon--*Flie troops under my command indefatigable, the
brave officers anxious to engage the enemy, and urmindful of
having already been for 15 :uccessive days fighting, no sooner
heard yesterday morning, that the enemy was un the heights or i
San Geronimo ie la Murtia, than they all contended for the
preference of being selected to-chastise the temerity and pride of
the invincible troops of the Corsican. I)on F. Nicola and Don.
N. Trabal were chosen for this purpose, retaining two compa •
sirs with me, to observe the movetnents and to assist in case of
need.' This was unnecessary, since the above-nutuesl, as soon as .
they discovered the enemy, attacked him, disregarding, with a
valour natural to spaniards, the sharp ere which he m4intained.
At length they overthrew him and compelled him to su disgraceful
land precipitate a flight, that it: was obliged to ayeil himself of dui
recesses of these mountains, to hide, in some degree, his shameful
retreat, which was esecuted in die utmost disorder, being per. ,
sued to the high road to' Barcelona.
" The result of this brilliant affair is, that the enemy left some
killed and ten wounded on the field of batik, among darn an •
Officer, dangerously ; tin out side, we have nut had the slightest
. • 1
misfortune. • " TFANCISCO Da DIV."

.

the same °Riser, detailing another affair which t„,,k
place on the heights of Monmalo, the following d 1%.
wherein the enemy lost 15 killed and V 5 wounded
and afterwards retreated to San Andres.)
