MADRID, FEBRUARY 12.

The bad weather. (and it hits been the worst ever
known) has. retarded the operations on the Adour.—
But the return of good weather, the skill of LAI
Wellington, and the Valour of the Allied troops, ale
about to give us new days of glory. The accounts
from Catalonia are very vague: according to some
the enemy has left several garrisons in the for-
tresses; according to others, good garrisons have
been left only in Barcelona and Figueras, and the
other fortresses have been blown up. Sucher, it is
said, marched into France with 8400 infantry, and
1870 horse. General Copens in his dispatch, says.
that 6000 men had been left in Barcelona ; that tin-
chet was marching towards Lyons, and had kit only
garrisons in the ,4mpurdan.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1814.

We have received a copious supply of Dutch an .I
German Papers. Thcy are tilled with details of an
highly interesting nature. The PRINCE ROI AI. (
SWEDEN, on passing the Rhine, published a rn,st
spirited Proclamation to the Inhabitants of France,
in which he alludes, in strong term,, to the miseries
inflicted upon them by their present loin of (;J•
vernment.

Thia is something like another direct Personal at-
tack upon BUONAr %RIF ; and we trust it w li be lul.
lowed up by others from the Allied Sovereigi;s.
BEACIIARNOIS, the Viceroy of Italy, is constrained
to admit that the defection of AlettAT has unbar-
lassed him much. We presume that he must
lay down his aims, for he is surrounded l y enemieg•

" MILAN, FEBRUARY 3.
et Th' Glvernment has just published the follow-
ing Proclamation to the people of Italy :
People of the kingdom of Italy !—For three
nionthi you hive been sufficiently fortunate to pre-
!trite from the invasion of the enemy the greater part

(4t your :erritro y.
's For nearly three months, the Neapolitans have
solemnly promised us succours. How could we dare
mistrust their promises ? Thtir Sovereign is connected
by tics of Wood to the great matt to whom both he
and myself owt ..very thing ; but this great man is at-
present less fortunate 1
I, Confiding in the word of Neapolitans, we were
justified in hoping that the efforts we have hitherto
made would not be lost, and that the enemy would
soon be obligtd to retire beyond our frontier.
People of the Kingdom of Italy, can you believe
it ? The Neapolitans have thui betrayed all ot,r expec'
tations and all our hopes ! Nevertheless, it was in pre-
senting themselves as allies that they penetrated upon
our territory, and that they were allowed to occupy
several of our departments: We have received them

at brethi-en, we have eagerly opened to them our ma-
gazines, our public chests, our arsenals) and our for-
tresses. And as the price of our sacrifices, as the price

of our confidence, it is even upon that line where
their arm ought to have joined ours, that they ex.
tend their hands to strangers, and raise their standards
against us.
" flibtori will one day point nut all the intrigues,
all the resources which were made use of to misleAd
to this degree a Sovereign already too much distin-
guished by his valour, nut to possess all the other
virtues of a soldier.
a People of the IC:ingdom Italy; let us not dis-
simulate ; the defection of the Neapolitans has ertielly
augmented the difficaties of our situation, but we do
not fear to state it f—" the rapre'our situation is cliff-
Cult, the more ought our courage to increase."
" You will therefore rally under the son of your
SOVehigll you will confide in the justice- and holi-
ness 'of your cause; yon will match at the voice of
him whoioves you, and ivho has no other ambition
thanto concur With all his means in incrtasing yot
glory, and confirming your prosperity.
" italiatisi they only are immortal in the esteem
and the annals of foreign nations who know how to
live and die faithful to their Sovereign and to their
country ; faithful to their duty and their oaths , faith-
ful to gratitude and to honour.

what colours they served, I must still regard them as

already undergone, and mitigate their hard fate !
may they reflect that their Conqueror is the friend of

YURTHER ADVANCE or LORD WEL-
LINGTON INTO PRANCE.

•
The Niralsinglram Packet has sit-mired from
sage with Mails and passengers. The accounts of
the Military operations of the gallant WELLINGTON'S
Army come down to the 20th ult. They enable us
to state that on the 12th the right wing, under the
command of Sir ROWLAND HILL, commence(' offer-
sive operations : the whole of it was engaged with the
enemy on the several days of the 13th, 14E11 and 15th.
The result of these successive contests was the aban-
dAnment by the enemy of the Gave de Pau, with the
Allied Army in their rear.
The resistance made by SOTJLT'S army was feeble
in the extreme no.thing like a general engagement
was courted by the French, and it must excite the
compassion of our Readers to learn that the greater
part of the priscners taken are under 16 years of age.
The progressive movements haring bec-n thus .11c-
cessfully made on the right, we must now look to the
corresponding advance to the left. Lord WELLING-
Tos himself was with that p In of theline on tlae
the day, as we have above intimated, when the last
advices were dispatched.
- All the late accounts have concurred in stating,
:hat every thing indicated preparations for active
warfare. The movement of the right wing may be
considered as the precursor to a general advance ot
the line, and we may, therefore, soon expect
portant intelligence from Lord WELLINcrou.

The Lord Duncan, Captain ihrirturos, has arri-
ved at Harwich from Heltoetsluys, with upwards of
sixty passengers; among whom are General TAYLOU
And Captain BUNBURY—both are charged with dis-
patches. Report states, that Sir THOMAS GRAHAM
had attacked and carried by assault, a third time, the
Town of Merxham, with considerable loss to the
enemy in killed and prisoners.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

--;
CAPTURE OF THE CLORINDE FRENCH

FRIGATE. •

Yesterday we communicated the short Telegraphic
notice which reached the Admiralty from Plymouth,
respecting the Capture of a French Frigate. The
name of the English frigate, which made this addi-
tional acquisition to the honour of our Flag, is the.
EUROTAS, and not the ROTA, as originally commu-
nicated by the Telegraph.
The EUROTAS carries 38 guns—the Clorinde 44.
" PL Y MOU rH, MARCH 2.

" His Majesty's ship EUROTAS arrived here this
morning, under jury masts, having fallen in with the
French frigate Clorinde, on the 25th ult. They en-
gaged until night, when the EUROTA.S had lost all her
masts, and the Clorinde had oply her foremast stand-
ing. -During the night the EUROTAS got jury masts
completely rigged, and was ready to snake sail and
renew the action at day-light; no exertion had been
made 1.4 y the Frenchman, who, it is understood, had
not even, cleared the wreck of the masts. The
DRYAD and ACIIATES, who had seen the action at a
distance, had come-up, ant the Clorinde was taken
possession of. All the bravery and merit, however,
rests with the EUROTAS, which ship had 20 killed and
40 wounded ; among the latter is Captain PHILLI-
MORE, who bad his lest arm badly shattered 'near the
shoulder by a shot, but it is hoped he will do well.,
The Clorinde is said to have lost 120 men killed.
The DaxAr, with this ship in tow, has passed this
port for Portsmouth.
41 His Majesty's ship QUEEN CHARLOTTE, with Ad-
miral MaLcoues flag, arrived this morning, and
anchored in Plymouth Sound, within the breakwater,
where she rides in perfect safety, and well protected
from south-west gales.: this is the first three decker
which has run for Plymouth Sound instead of Caw-
-1 sand Bay, and it is understood that in future the line
of battle ships will avail themselves of this excellentl
anchorage now so well protected from the southern
gales.--Came in the CLastexcE man of war, and the
ACHATRS and MYRMIDON sloops of war, from a
cruize. Arrived the Walsinghaan packet, from Pas-
sages, with dispatches from Lard WELLINGTON ; also
arrived the MAGNIFICENT man of war, with the loss of
I her fore-yard, and it is rvorted, 20 men."
