the enemy, went in pursuit with three companies, as soon as they
were landed on the left bank of the Sella. After four leagues
quick marching on the road to Gijon, he overtook Campillo,
who had taken up a position in the vilbge of Couvion, near Co-
lunga.—He did not hesitate to attack him, though he had but
ninety men with him.

" In spite of a stout resistance the enemy was dislodged.
Campillo having succeeded in rallying his troops, and perceiving
to what a small number they had yielded, endeavoured with
500 men to retake the village ; but Colonel Goutefray bad so
ably disposed his ninety breves, that he managed, with only a i
part of them, to repulse the attack.
" General Hubert came up at this moment with an escort of;
fifteen horse chasseurs ; and taking the command, the enemy
were completely routed, and did not rally till favoured by
the darkness of the night.
" This affair cost Campillo 35 killed, of whom two are supe-
rior Officers, 42 wounded, and 57 prisoners. •
41 He have taken, besides, eight waggons filled with arms
and ammunition, which were immediately given to the Royalists
of the country, who presented themselves in great numbers.
" We have only to regret the loss of two killed, and five
wounded ; among whom is the Cbief of Battalion Bartholet de
la Georgette, who powerfully contributed to the success of
the day.

" General Hubert slept on the 234 at Colunga, and on the
24th at Villaviclosa, where he was received by the inhabitants
with the liveliest enthusiasm.

"On the 25th he marched on Gijon. At his approach Cam-
pillo retired so suddenly that he left behind a ctibtribution of
375,000 francs, which was ready to be delivered to him. His
wounded threw themselves with such precipitation into the boats
already loaded with arms for Corunna, that one of them was
upset and sunk. A great quantity of muskets, which were piled
upon the quay, were thrown into the sea by the soldiers, who,
for the most part, concealed themselves in the town, in order to
join afterwards our troops.

" Twelve twenty-four-pounders, one twelve, some muskets,
two hundred boxes of cue-shot, and other ammunition, have
faUen into our hands.
0 The troops who pursued Campillo by the road, along the
sea-shore, made further fifty prisoners, while General Hubert
pushed directly on Aviles a detachment of infantry and cavalry,
which completed the destruction of the enemy.
" Cummunicationshave been afterwards established with Ge-
neral D'Albignac,•by Oviedo, where General Hubert would ar-
rive with his Cavalry and the 7th Light Infantry on the 20th.
" While these operationi were going on, the Spanish General
Longa, who pursued the band of Santa Rants on the road of
Oviedo by Mier Gauges and Indesto, attacked that partisan on
the 23d, made him prisoner, with 35 of his men, took three
hundred muskets, and, continuing the pursuit of the band,
which consisted of about 300 men, captured next day its bag-
gage, and caused it other losses. General Longa arrived on the
25th at Insiesto.
[Here follows a particular eulogium on the corps and Officers
employed in these different affairs].
" Count O'Donnel, Captain-General of Old Castile, informs
his Royal Highness that the moveable column, under the or-
ders of Colonel Count de Negri, has completely beaten a revo-
lutionary corps in the environs of Ciudad Rodrigo, on the 27th
June, and taken its cannon. This affair does the more honour
to the Spanish Royalist troops, that they have had the advantage
over forces much superior in number.
" Colonel hiondeden, of the division of the Spanish General
Beuieres, has destroyed, on the 28th, at Picaze, near Sisante,
almost on the frontiers of Murcia, a detachment of one hundred
and fifty cavaliers of the enemy ; he has taken a Lieutenant-
Colonel, three other Officers, and a great number of Sub-officers,
and:soldiers, among whom are many wounded. A few only of
the cavaliers have succeeded in escaping

This morning we received intelligence from
Bayonne to the 4th inst. which, to use a favourite
phrase with American Editors, would be " import-
ant if true." The report of General BOURCK having
sustained a severe defeat, prevailed at Bayonne.

BAYONNE, JULY 3.
The delay of the mail from Madrid, which we
have not yet received, and the non-appearance of the
bulletin, have given occasion to the circulation ofi
various unfavourable reports respecting the state ofl
affairs in Spain. Some of these we will mention: such
as that the Prince has given orders to Generals Bout-
desoulle and Bourmont to withdraw from Andalusia,
and to concentrate their troops in the neighbourhood
of Madrid, the tranquillity of which does not appear
to be very secure.
Some even pretend that secret orders have been,
given for the whole Army to return to the Ebro : it
is further added, that General Bourck, having suffered
severely, has retreated to Valladolid; and that M. de
Martignac is going immediately to Paris to give an
account of the state of affairs in Spain.
The number of sick in the Army is said to inerease
in an alarming degree. Such are some of the reports
spread here in the absence of official and certain
news. The 41st Regiment sets out to-day for Spain,
though the weather is most execrable. Immense
quantities or provisions continue to be accumulated
in this city and the environs, so that it is necessary to
hire every warehouse that can be obtained, even such
as are not well adapted to the purpose, and it is
apprehended that a considerable part of the grain
and flour may be damaged before they can be used.
We have just received letters from Saragossa, which
say that the garrison of Lerida made a sally on the
20th with a superior force, and proceeded in the direc-
tion of Hamaril, where Santos Ladren bad collected
the troops which were employed in the blockade of
Menzon: this General is reported to have sustained
so severe a loss that he had sent on the 2lst, to Sa-
ragossa, earnestly desiring a reinforcement.
In the same letters it is affirmed, that his Royal
Highness the Duke of Angouleme had been in immi-
nent danger of being carried off by a guerilla pimp•
in a promenade which he took in .the environs of
the capital.

Brussels Papers to the 9th, •and Dutch Papers one
day later, reached us this morning, but they cotstaiu
no intelligence of importance. •
