FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

THIRTY-SECOND BULLETIN 'OF THE FRENCH AR-
MY OF SPAIN.
" The Duke of Dalmatia being arrived before Ferrol, caused
the place to be invested. Negociations were begun. The Civil
Authorities, and the Military and Naval Officers, manifested a
disposition to surrender ; but the people, fomented by the spies
whom the English had left, resisted.
" On the 24th, the Duke of Dalmatia received two Messen-
gers, one sent by Admiral Malgarejo, Commander of the Spa-
nish squadron, and the other, who came across the mountains,
sent by the Military Commandant. These Couriers were both
sent without the knowledge of the People. They stated, that the
Authorities were under the yoke of a furious populace, excited
and paid by the agoras of England; and that 8000 men, belonging

to the city and its environs were in arms.
44 The Duke of Dalmatia had to resolve upon *opening the
trenches ; but from the 24th to the 25th, various movements
were manifest in the town. The 17th Regiment of Light Infan-
try bad repaired to Mugardos, the 51st Regiment of Light In-
fartry were at the Forts of La Palma and bt. Martin, and at La-
grata ; and as they blockaded the Fart St. Philip, the people be-
gan to fear the consequences of an assault, and to listen to men

of sense.
" On the 26th, three flags of truce, furnished with authority,
and the annexed letter, arrived at the head-quarters, and signed

the surrender of the place.
" On the 17th, at seven o'clock in the morning, the Town
was occupied by the Division of Mermet, and by a Brigade of
Dragoons.
" On the same day, the Garrison was disarmed ; the dis arm•
ing also produced 5000 muskets. The people who do net belong
to Ferrol have been remanded to their villages. The men who
had stained themselves with blood during the insurrection have

been arrested.
" Admiral Obregon, whom the people bad arrested daring the
insurrection, has been put at the head of the arsenal.
" There have been found in the port three vessels of 11 t guns,
two of 88, one of 74, two of 64, three frigates, and a consider-
able number of corvettes, brigs, and unarmed vessels, more than
1500 pieces of cannon, of every size, and ammunition of all

kinds. '
" It is probable, that but for the precipitate retreat of the Eng-
lish, and the affair of the 16th, they would have occupied Ferrol,
and seized this beautiful squadron.
" The Military and Naval Officers have taken the oath to King
Jefrph with the greatest enthusiasm. \ bat they relate pf their
sufferings front the lowest clams of the people and the English is
inconceivable.

" Order reigns in Cornejo, and the authority of the King is re-
established in this province, one of the most considerable of the
Spanish Monarchy.
" General Laborde has found at Corunna, on the sea-shore,
seven nieces of cannon which the English h..d buried on the 16th,
not bang able to take them away.
" La Romano, abandoned by the English and his own troops,
has fled with 500 men, In order to throw himself into Anda-
lusia.

" There remained at Lisbon only about 4 or 5000 Englishmen.
All the hospitals and all the magazines were embarked, and the
garrison were preparing to abandon this nation, as indignant at
the perfidy of the English, as they are disgusted by the difference
of manners and religion, by the continual and brutal intempe-
rance of the English troops, and that arrogance and ill-founded
pride which render this nation odious to the Continent."

PARIS, FEB. 14.
The following letter has been reeeived :
" Madrid, Feb. 3.
His Majesty has ordered the Captain and Direc-
tor-General and Minister of the Marine, D. Joseph
Mazaredo to repair to Ferrol and Corunna, in order
to put the marine there into the most flourishing state.
It is said, that he is invested with the power of in-
specting the established authoxities, and of suspend-
ing or removing the members who may have preva-
ricated in their functions ; in short, be le to take all
measures which appear to him proper for establishing
the best Administration and most perfect security in
this province.
46 Official dispatches have been received from the
Marshal Duke of Dalmatia. The division which
occupies the fortress and the maritime department of
Ferrol have found them untouched. Neither the ves-
sels nor the arsenals have sustained the slightest in.
jury. Order and tranquillity reign in 'Ferrol as in
every part of Gallicia.
•6 His Majesty has nominated the Lieutenant-Ge-
neral of Marine, Don Pedro Obregon, Commandant-
General of the department of Ferrol, and Field Mar-
shal Don Antonio Alcedo, Civil and Military Gover-
nor of Corunna.
46 His Majesty honoured the theatre of the Canos
del Petal with his presence. A comedy by Calderon,
a farce and opera were performed, with interludes of
national dances. The city of Madrid had offered this
festival to his Majesty, and taken the greatest pains in
tee decoration of the interior of the hall, all the boxes
being lined with silk, and the whole being illuminated
ith wax-lights. The entrance to the theatre was
atis, and the throng of spectators was so g teat that
the avenues were crowded."
