Asikentoxsigniii
The following partinW*llol*VP tO the eiafila6sn
of Corunna and Ferrodjoyfirit rrych, are contained'
in a series of letters Triont*Ciptft Ifotham, of his
Majesty's ship the thflanie, 'to Admiral Lord Gam-
bier, dated from the 22d to the. 50th of last Month.

In consequence of the defeat sustained by the ene-
my's army under Marshal Ney in the action against
the Spanish forces at the bridge of the Payo, that
General fell back on Corunna on the 13th June, and
immediately began to take measures for relinquish-
ing the possession of that place and Ferrol, removing
his forces by divisions to an encampment three
leagues in advance from Betanvis towards Lugo.—
The last divisions of the French left Ferrol on the 21st
and Corunna, on the 22d, after having in both places
spiked the guns and destroyed the defences on the
landside, together with the magazines and stores of
every kind, and completely disarmed the places and
their inhabitants.—The proximity of the enemy's po-
sition continuing to hold the authorities established
by the French at Corunna in subjection through the
fear of his return, no communication being suffered
with the British Skips but by flag of truce, and the
state of defence in which . the batteries and lines on
the sea side were left, rendering it dangerous for the
English to land or approach the coast in the event of
the re-appearance of any of the enemy, Captain Ho-
tham on the 2-I.th ordered a detachment of seamen
and marines to land and disable the guns on the dif-
ferent batteries bearing on the anchorage, offering at
the same time to the governor the services of the de-
tachment in rendering any assistance that might be
in its power to the cause of the Spanish Patriots.—
The cannons and mortars on the sea lines at Corunna,
and in the forts commanding the bay, were accord-
ingly all dismounted on the same day, leaving un-
touched those on the lines towards the land which
had been spiked by the enemy.
On the 26th Captain Hotham sen•: Captain Parker,
of his Majesty's ship Amazon, to Ferrol, where he
was received by the people with the loudest acclama-
tions of joy, and received from the higher orders of
the inhabitants the strongest possibl.e marks of attach-
ment to the English, and happiness at seeing once
more among them an officer of that nation. The
castle of San Felipe, however, was still under the
command of a person appointed by Marshal Ney,
and attached to the French interest, with a garrison
composed of a detachment of a legion raised by the
enemy during their possession of Ferrol and Corunna;
and on the 27th Captain Hotham received informa-
tion that the above Commandant had given orders to
fire on any English ships or boats that might attempt
to pass the castle. In consequence, Cptain Hotham
repaired to Ferrol in the Defiance, andlandedThe ma-
rines of that. ship and the Amazon, with a party of
armed eeemen, under the direction of Captain Parker,
who entered the castle without opposition, preceded
by a flag bearing the name of King Ferdinand the
Seventh and. the Spanish colours. The detachment
then proceeded to the town of Ferrel, where it was
received in the most affectionate manner by the inha-
bitants, and having arrested the Commandant of the
Castle in the name of King Ferdinand, sent him on
board the Defiance. The Goiernor of Ferrol not
having any means of -garrisoning the Castle, the guns
in it were spiked, and the powder removed. to the
Arsehal, and the place left under the command of
the former Governor, who had been superseded by
the c{►., • . •
On tbe• 1111th- Captain Hotham entered the port of
Corunna, where he was informed by the Governor
that he had received instructions froth the' Marquis&
la ItOmana, dated at Orense on the 27th; to proclaim
his Catholic Majesty Ferdinand the Seventh, with ad- j
vice that he had dispatched a regiment from his army
to attend the ceremony and garrison the place: the'
Governor at the same time gave Captain Hotham
assurances that the port was from that hour to be
consiJered under the Controul and authority of the
lawful King of Spain ; and the Captain placed him,
self, and every assistance that the ships under his or
ders might be able to afford, at the Governor's dis-
posal. •

On the '29th, Major-General the Conde de Norona,
Captain-General of Galicia, arrived at Corunna from
St. hp, and was followed on the next day by ge-
neral Carrera with about eleven thousand men, form-
ing the Coade's division of the MArquis of Romana's
army.

The French army under Marsh.t4 Ney moved from
its camp near Betanzos on the 22,1, taking the road
to Lugo and Astorga. It was reported that, previ-
ously to its breaking up the camp, it destroyed its
baggage and heavy artillery.

On the 27th the Marquis de la Romana was stated
to be at Orense with General Mali and thirty thou-
sand men. Marshal Soult's position on the 16th was
said to hare been at Monforte and Quiraga.

Head Quarters at Santiago, May 23.

Santiago is in our possession :—the enemy, con-
sistiag of three thousand infantry, with fourteen
pieces of artillery, and three hundred horse, came out
to meet us, arid attacked us on our march in the plain
called De la Estrella. Our scouts having fallen in with
their voltigeurs, and exchanged some firing, brought
me the information, and I ordered the division to ,
form in the best position that could be taken. The
enemy attacked with vigour, but were unable to gain i
the smallest advantage. Our artillery was as good
as their's was bad, not a man being wounded on our
side by a cannon ball. After an hour's firing we be-
came impatient of suffering it, and I ordered Don
Pablo Murillo to charge them on their right flank,
whilst I advanced in front with the three other co-
lumps. The enemy twice took up positions, and were
as often dislodged. The unevenness of the groundsl
favoured their escape ; in effecting which they shame-
fully blew up two ammunition chests ; two others,
with two of clothing, upwards of six hundred muskets,,
and some horses and other articles, which I have not
yet examined, fell into our hands. Murillo entered j
the city, and pursued the enemy through the streets ;
to the distance of more than a league from hence. I
am not yet informed of the number of slain, nor of
that of the prisoners, of whom there are many. The
General. Maquian, has been,severely wounded by two
musket shot ; the second in command was killed in
the field, whose insignia have been brought to me by '
floe soldiers. Our loss has been trifling ; the troops 1
are in high spirits, and I may expect much from
them. I am, dec.' (Signed)
