6 The Manchester packet, Captain arsrttirota,
kriTed last evening At Falmouth in five digs from
tirunna, brought aver it King's Melsenger with dis.
ate, from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, whose
cbquarters, on the 21st of September, were in
10404 His Lordship attacked the works of that
on the 19th, and carried them with the loss of
tity
'bout WO English and Portuguese in killed and
hounded. The regiment which is said to have suffered
wit, is the 42d Highlanders. We had five or six
Officers killed ; among whom was Major PIERRE-
won., who received a Musket ball in his breast. The
French; who were driven out, were pursued on the
road towards Vittoria : but a garrison of 2000 re..'
babied in a fort on the verge of the city. This fort
was to be attacked on the 22d, and no doubt was en-
tertained of its being carried, and the garrison made
prisoners-.
di The French who were at Bilboa, left it on the
so, and were understood to have joined those who
had been driven fkom Burgos, at Vittoria.
" Nothing had been heard at Burgos of Massena,
itor of the 30,000 reinforcements from France, which
have made such a figure in certain English Papers.--
(Canavan Gescetts.)
The following are ample details of the above and
Other highly gratifying events which have occurred
in other parts of Spain. They are taken from the-I
Comilla Papers received by the Mail :
" CORUNNA, SEPTEMBER 23.
u Yesterday we received papers from Madrid,
tuadaLizara, Zamora, neighbourhood of Burgos,
Etc. &c. &c. By them we are put in possession of
the following communication :
" The Madrid Gazette of the 15th instant says,
We know for certain that Soult, who made indica-
'tions of retiring by Hellen, has now taken the road
of La Mancha, by the Banana Floudo to march for
Infant&

We likewise know, that between Ateira and
Akoy, Suchet's army has been routed with 'the loss
bf 6500 men in prisoners, killed and wounded, in
consequence of which he was obliged to retire, infor-
matton of which undoubted, induced Soult to alter
his direction and take a wider and less different mad.

From Vallariolid they write under date of the
15th inst. that, cn the Bth the Constitution had been
published there with great rejoicings; that on the
16th the Great Lord marched from thepce for Bur-
tos,where he entered an the 12th. The Galician di
-
*lon arrived at Valladolid, under command of
Senor Pol ; that on the 13th this division marched
for Palencia; that on the same day likewise entered
haalladulid the army, with its General Sintocildes,
Which the same evening proceeded for Palencia, and
thit from thence it is positively known, that they
Will, without delay, proceed to Burgos; as they march
With great activity.

-" Lastly, we know that the Marquis of Welling:
ton has already his head-quarters in Briviesca, and
that consequently the remains of Marmont's army
continues to retrograde."
" 3rPrzataza.24.—By letters from Madrid, it ap-
pars that the Hcly Tribunal of the Inquisition had
been re-established."

" FROM THE CORUNNA DIARY,tEPT.
" The army of Marmont; after the battle of Are-
pees, was reduced to about 23 or 21,000 men, of
which many were disarmed ; and had in the hospi-
tals
from three to four thousand. The remainder 1,
fonned-three divisions, whose total forte consisted of
fourteen thousand infantry, and from 15 to eighteen
hundred horse, with twenty pieces of artillery. These
then are troops which went to withdraw the garrisons
of Toro and Zamora ; the same which attempted to
Save that of Astorga, which they could not accorn;
ilish in consequence of its having surrendered 36
hours before their arrival, and being on Itt march to
Corunna as prisoners. From this time they hale
cowardly fled at the sight of the divisions of the
Allied Army ; and if they have taken advantage of
any conjuncture, it was rather to act as bands than as
soldiers.

" On the Ist inst. the English took one of Mar.
monVs Aide-de-Camps, and oa the 3d twenty-three
dragoons fell into our power. On the 4th the enemy
were in Valladolid and Fordesillas, committing their
usual infinite devastations. On this same day intel-
ligence was received in Seca of the English having
seized upon the bridge of Aranda de Duero, taking
prisoners three hundred dragoons and two hundred.
Infantry—six thousand of the enemy, who came to
suppoTts were obliged to retrocede, and will probably
experience a similar fate. I
" From Burgos we know that on the 30th August
there entered in that city 250 head of cattle, 1100
sheer', 100 bushels of wheat, and eight waggons of
meal, which were taken by force in Castros, Ceriff,
Melgar, and their neighbourhood. That on the 31st
they began to dcnaoliiih the houses in the district of
1 St. Esteban—that the fumes on that day in the city,
consisted of 1300 infantry and 200 horse, and 100
dismounted, SOO in the hospitals, and 400 unfit for
service.

" Notwithstanding their preparations for defence,
among which they enumerate nine 18-pounders, 11 of
four and B•pounders, and two 9-inch howitzers, it is
not possible they can maintain themselves in that'
IPoint, on account of the want of provisions should 1
