and that the total -mounted to 27,900 men. The
nest person he would call would Le Gen. Whining.
ham, from whose infOrmation the Court would collect
the arms' of Arragon to have amounted to 31,260
men. This offizer obtained his intelligence through
a charnel distinct from that of General Donkin s,
and had never seen the report of the former till his
own had been delivered, so that it was clear a pretty
fair calculation might he made of the total army of
Snchct in Valencia. The next source by which this
calculation would be confirmed was a report of Ge-
neral St. Cyt's, found in a port-folio of Joseph's, in
• which it was stated, that Suchet's army, independent
ef sick, was 32,676 men. In taking the force at 24.
thousabd men, therefore, he (Sir John Murray) did
not think he should be accused of exaggeration.—
In Catalonia the force under General De Caen, from
a ahoy icy equally satisfactory, appeared to be twenty-
frree thousand, part of which was in garrison, but
thirteen thousand men of which were completely
diSpoiahle. From hence it was clear that the united
army of Suchet and De Caen formed a general total
of fifty-three thousand men. In corroboration of this
calculation, the g..llant General read three military
memoirs of Spanish Generals, which, added to his
other sourceS•of intelligence, he apprehended would
be considored by the Court as a fair loundati.in upon
which to form his judgment of the force which he had
to oppose. It was clear too that the army was, while
at Tarragona, in the very cenue ef the enemy. They
were tlue.ttcLed on the flank by the Catalonian army,
and ia the front by the army of Arragou, without
:Detraining the garrison of Tarragona itself—a cir-
cumstance which, he trusted, would convince the
Court and the public, that he was not so culpable as
the charge of Admirariliallowell had boldly stated.
Sw JOHN MURRAY next laid before the Court the
intelligence which he had received at the important
crilis which formed the subject of inquiry. Some
Papers, on which his judgment had been formed, were
lost, bur others he had preserved These consisted of
dispatches from General Mauso, the Spanish General,
and were dated at different hours on the 1 Ith of June,
1813. Their contents went to state that the enemy
were advancing to Villa Franca, ten thousand men
strong, with ten guns and two howitzers, to which
information were added repasts which lie had himself
received, of from two to three thousand men. And
on the 12th he received a letter from the same officer,
stating the enemy to have arrived atVillaTranca,ind
on the back of the letter was a memorandum from
General WhittinghaM, announcing that they had ad-
vanced to V,andrell, With these circumstances in his
knowledge, it was for-the Court to say, whether he
was not Justified in the measuees he had taken. The
gallant Gt neral now adverted to the evidence pro-
duced by Adm.Hallowell, in support of his statement
44 that the farce of the enemy consisted of but 5000
men," and asked whether the vague informition of a
Spanish peasant, ill understood, aid in all probability
a French spy, was to be received in preference to the
judici:ots intelligence obtained from General Mans°,
confirmed by subsequent.occurrehces. He then con-
tinued 'to comment on ihe other evidence produced
by Admiral Hallowell, and contrasted it with such
fact& and opinions as he intended to produce hereafter
in his defence. He also accounted for what was called
a breach of promise to Colonel Williamson, by the xe-
ceiptdaf intellie,,ence of the actu..l march of the enemy,
wide's() the fact of General Copons being to
arrest the progress of their advance. He thtn entered
into details to, shear that the calculations of Admiral
Hallowell, as to the IPA niburs of the enemy, were in-,
correct, and those of himself accnrate. From facts he
was authorised to Assume that the force'which Suchet
brought from Valencia was fully 900 U men, and sub-
sequently this force wac augmented t 612,000 infantry
and one thousand cavalry: On tile 11th and 12th that
force approximated so near as Permellia and gen-
dellos. to three days the main body was oily two long
marches, and the advance only one long march from
Tarragona.
The General was proceeding to state the other po-
sitions of the Irench force, when the Judge Advocate
announced that the hour of three had arrived, and that
the Court was adjourned till ten o'clock to-morrow.
• Majorturtsie, in reading the defence, was occa-
sinnally relieved by Sir Jolla MURRAY himself, and
by Colonel D'Aounosik

We hive rece:ved Paris Papers of Wednesday.—
They co? t.;ln an article from Vienna, wh:ch-is a little
more cl.2cided in its character than any which we have
la- telt seen from that source. AU the great p9ints
have, in fact, been arranged, and there will be no
new Continental war.

A latter from Amsterdam states that an opinion
pnarally prevails there that the American President
will not ratify the the Treaty with this country :
this inference is drawn from the state of the Ame-
rican fun 's, which have not risen at Amsterdam,
since the promulgation of the terms of the Treaty.
Various articles from Italy in the French Journals
state Muitivr to be in a most precarious situation re-
specting his S•wereignty : his army is falling off from
him piece-zneal.
