REPULSE OF THE FRENCH AT CORTJNNA
SIR ROBERT WILSON AND COLONEL LIGHT

WOUNDED.
We have received intelligence from Corunna of as
late a date as the evening of the 16th instant. On that
and the preceding day the French troops, 8000 men,
under General BoL•ncc, attacked the town, and, it is
said, were defeated with the loss of 700 or 800 men.

The Spanish troops were commanded by QUIROOA,
Sir ROSSRT WILSON, to whom the charge of one of

the batteries had been assigned, and Senor Vtoo, the
Governor of Corunna. Sir Rostar Wilms and Co-

lonel Licur were wounded in the action. The haste
with which the vessel that brings the intelligence

quitted Corunna, leaves the account somewhat im-
perfect, and we wait with much anxiety the next at:-
rivals. The first account is from our own Corres-
pondent at Plymouth :
PLYMOUTH, JULY fr 2, 1823.
" This day the Spanish brig Augustine, five days
from Corunna, arrived in this port, bringing a num-
bcr of passengers, male and female, both English
and Spanish.
" The Augustine left Corunna with the greatest
precipitancy, inconsequence of an attack upon that
town, on the 15th and 16th instant, by the French
army, consisting of eight thousand troops, in which
they were repulsed with considerable loss—one ac-
count estimating the same at seven hundred men.
" The Spanish loss was merely trifling, one officer
killed, and five or six wounded ; number of troops not
mentioned. Sir ROBERT 'Miser; was wounded in
the thigh; and his Aide-de-Camp, Colonel LIGHT,
very severely. No apprehension was entertained of
the surrender of Comma.
" These particulars may be relied on ; and I regret
that they are all I can furnish ; as the whole ship is
still in consternation.
"The passengers proceed toLondon in the morning."
The following accounts of this affair are from
Lloyd's Coffee House :
PLYMOUTH, JULY ss.
" The brig Augustine, of and from Corunna, arrived
here this evening, with sundry passengers, who appear
to have quitted that place in great haste, in conse-
quence of a sudden attack made on the 15th and 16th
inst. by about 8000 French. The result is not known,
though it appears, from what our Clerk has been able
to collect, that no apprehensions are entertained as
to its fall.
It is said that in this attack 700 or 800 French
fell ; that the loss on the part of the Spanish was com-
paratively trifling—the number not stated—but that
five or six Spanish Officers have been wounded, and'
one killed; that Sir, ROBERT WILSON had been
wounded in his thigh, and a Colonel LIGHT (one of
his Aides-de-Camp) severely wounded. Our Clerk
made particular inquiries as to any dispatches, let-
ters, or official communications to his Excellency the
Ambassador, or the Consul-General, but was told
that she had not brought any."
ANOTHEZ LETTER, SAME DATE.
" Arrived the Augustine, MANSERITA, from Co.
'llona in five days. On the 15th and 16th inst. the
Fr ench forces, about 8,000, entered, when a despe-
rate action was fought, and great slaughter ensued
or. both sides. Sir ROBERT WILSON and Colonel
LIGHT were both wounded, the latter badly. Report
4 hays the French had the worst'of it. -
" The Augustine is in ballast, with' several passen-
gers destined for London, and who are tenacious of
giving intelligence."

This forenoon we received the French Papers of
Tuesday, by Express. The following axe the only ar-
ticles of intelligence they contain:
