FRENCH PAPERS.

- PARIS, MARCH O.
The. Spanish General Blake, President of the fit
surrectional Regency of Cadiz, had preserved his at
.
luminous correspond& nee, which conuins
ters of importance. We shall give a var=7llll:
tracts from it.
It will be seen from these documents, that tr
chiefs of the insurrection are convinced of the. inutilitT.
of their struggle—how much they dread the Frees'
infantry and cavalry—and to what a pitch their dissi•
tisfaction and hatred of the English army area:lW'
[Then follow the documents in question, which are
extremely 'voluminous, containing reports from ever/
General of Division belonging to Blake's army,
tailing their respective operations on the battle of the
25th of October. Then come the Minutes of died'
liberations of two councils of war, htld on the p°
ject of the defence of Valencia ; .the result of sew
was, that the city was declared untenable. It 4;
pears that the troops had rations of bread for i
nine or ten days. The following is a statement 1.4
the loss which the Spanish army sustained on the
of October ;—killed, 247; wounded, 679; Os°
5310; dispersed, 425 ; total, 4,861. The b r
per given is the dispitch of General Blake so,,_,elet".

alone excue my long silence, which, however, you
might attribute to another motive. I learn by the
journals your fine and celebrated retreat, in which I
coogiatulate you ; for if an operation of th.:t sort
may 6e considered one of the most difficult in war,
he who has executed it, in good order, with our
troops, in the lice of Sucliet, has only so much the
more merit.
I wait with impatience the result of Blake's pro.
Item However, I promise myself nothing good, if
the enemy receives reinforcements from *Catalonia or
Navarre. These succours would even enable him to
leave before Murviedro, a corps superior to the gar.
risnn of that place, so as to confine it within its walls,
while they advanced alder those of Valencia. If you
ought not to hope to gain it ; and
ft we battle, you wears improbable that Blake thinks of giving it.
If it has not taken place, the army will have only to
retire behind the Jucar, and abandon Valencia to its
Own strength. In that case a rigorous blockade will
suffice for its redgction. If the army occupies the
lines of Valencia, it ought, in order to secure its sub-
sisteno, to extend itself to the sea ; and such a I;ne
must be exposed to the same dangers as every other

of that sort.
a I am quite ignorant cf Blake's plans, but I know
Suchet sufficiently to be persuaded that no partial
Movement will induce him to rdinquish his enter-
prize,
should he receive reinforcements. I do not
think that his design s are confined to the capture of
Morviedro; on the contrary, I firmly believe that it
is his object to obtain possession of Valencia, in order
to place himself in communication with Soult, to be-i
siege Carthagena. or Alicant, for the purpose of cut-
ting off all communication with the sea, and force
our two armies to embark, or finally, to cat ry on the
war in Navarre and Arragon, and from thence to ad-
vance upon Gallicia.
" It is quite evident, that it is the enemy's inten-
tion to make these provinces the theatre of active
%mitre, because, knowing that it is the intention of
the English not to move far beyond the frontiers of
Portugal, he will have only to fight against us.
“ Our troops, few in number, and scattered over
many provinces, can effect nothing ; and when the
enemy shall be Mister trf all the fortresses of the
kingdom, the armies having no longer any point of
support, will be forced to disperse. Thus, while the
Cortes are employed in giving a constitution to the
nation which exists no longer, and the war is reduced
to the robberies and plundering of the Guerillas, we
shall be a prey to all the horrors of war, without the
Lope of seeing its termination.
My health is better, ird it is'my intention to re-
pair to Cadiz on the first favourable opportunity, not
to accept command which has been offered me,
but merely to re establish my health.
44 I have several times intreated Ignacia to repair
to Majorca, which he has not agreed to. I have re-
served, and will always reserve for her all I can, be-
sides what I keep for myself : and that you may en-
tertain no doubt of this, it is proper you"should know
that since the 30th of December last she has received
from me 30,000 reals, and from the Treasury of 'rar-
ragon 22,500 reals, besides what she must have of
her own. Adieu! my dear Charles, may Gon give
you happiness! for your affectionate brother Henry
is sensibly interested in your prosperity."
