No farther particulars have reached us respecting
the occupation of Gijon by the Patriots. The French
bad evacuated the place.
The recapture of Santander by the French is con-
firmed by a Gentleman who left the Dutch coast so
late as Friday. He read in the Jeurnal de I'Empire,
of the 25th June, an official report of this event. The
substance of it is, that a body of troops, under the
commandlof General BONNET, attacked it on the night
of the 10th, and put the whcl of the Spaniards who
occupied it, amounting to 5000, to the sword. The
town, it is stated, was delivered up to pillage for some
hours. In the darkness and confoion that prevailed,
General BALLASTEROS effected a momentary escape ;
but in consequence of a strict search being made for,
him in the morning, he was discovered.
After our Paper was put to press yesterday, a tele-
graphic communication reached the Admiralty, an-
nouncing the arrival of a vessel at Plymouth with
the agreeable intelligence that the French had been
expelled from Fermi and Corunna with great loss.—
Of that part of this ,tat.;nr.cnt which relates to the eva-
cuation of tiles::: places, w. have little doubt, a::
find from the last Paris Papers, that accounts of the
junction of all the divisions of the French army in
Gallicia, and of their proceeding towards the North
of Portugal, were communicated in a letter of the
hth ult. from Corunna. Respecting the expulsion of
the enemy by force, we are less positive. The Spa-
niards, we fezt., were not strong enough to accomplish
this, supposing SOULT to have effected a junction with
Marshal NEI.

The Gentleman who gave the above particulars
respecting the recapture of Santander by the Frete.-h,
repeats the statement received at sea by the Com-
mander cf thz Ft:mous. He says, that just as he Was
coming away a rumour had begun to be circulated,
that a general engagement had taken place on the
left bank of the Danube, which terminated in the de-
feat of the French, and the capture of BONAPARTE.
The master of a vessel which left a Dutch port on
the 29th ult. and has arrived at Yarmouth, also states
that news had been received of t'tnother battle having
been fought, in which the French were defeated.—
The frequency and subsequent contradiction of simi-
lar reports, render these unworthy of credit.
The latest accounts from Holland describe the
ferment in the people's mind as daily increasing. At
Flushing, it is said, there has been a serious affair be.
tween the French and Dutch troops stationed there.
—At Middleburgh also there has been a fracas be.
tween the French and Dutch troops. The cause of
quarrel was not founded on any of those circum-
stances commonly produce disunion in a garri-
son. It arose from political differences and animo-
sity. If this spirit should extend to other places, the
work of sticcessful insurrection may prove even less
difficult or dangerous than in the North of Germany.

STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

Captain WINTER, of the CADMUS sloop of war, at:.
cornpanied by a Spanish Officer of rank, has this
cncrnent arrived at the Admiralty, with dispatciies
from Vigo, ccntirm:ng the accounts received by Te-
legraph from Plymouth, of the capture of Corunna
and Ferrol by the Spaniards.

They also bring intelligence that Marshal Nix has
been defeated
.near Patrona, with great loss. His
force consisted of about 8000.

We understand that, previous zo the retreat of the'
cr.cmy, several actions had taken plate between the
Patriots and the enemy, in which the Patriots had
uniformly the advantage. A division of the Marquis
de RomANA's army, under General CARRERA and the
Count de NORONIA, obtained a decisive victory on
the Bth ultimo, at the bridge of Saint Payo, over the
entire forces of the enemy collected from Ferrol and
Corunna, with the intention of avenging a former
defeat sustained at St. Sago on the 9.3 d May; The
enemy's force,consisting of 8000 men, was commanded
by Marshal NEv and General LOISON. The enemy
failed in three successive attacks in the morning, after-
noon, and evening of the Bth ; and after five hours con-
tinued fighting, finding it impossible to gain an inch of
ground, made preparations to retreat in thenight,which
l:e eiTected, burning and destroying all before them.,
The Sl;aniards being, however, aware of his inten-
tion, th.:, mischief he was able to do was less than
been expected. The Spanish force en-
-13,000, of whom 4000 were with-
m The encroy bud a great advantage in
The track of the enemy's retreat was
his abandoned wounded, as well as by
e binning cuttags of the peasants.
