ills Majesty's ship Malta, June 14.
LORD—Adteiral clalloWell has just decided on
lending a ship to Alight, and I have merely time to
state to your Lordship, and I do so with great regret,
that I have been under the necessity of raising the
siege of Tarragona, and embarking the army under
my command. In my private letter of the 7th ihst. I
mentioned to your Lordship the reports of the assem-
blage of the French f-rces at B ircelona, and that
Idarshal Stichet was likewise in march from Valencia,
and stated it as my opinion, that should these reports
be confirmed, the object your Lordship had in view
could not be accomplished. Unfortunately these ru-
mours proved true, and, reluctantly, I tesolved on
raising the siege and debarking the Army, as the or
means of avoiding a general action, which must have
been fought under every disadvantage. I cannot at
this moment refer to dates, but it is sufficient for the
present to state, that the French force at Barcelona
was never rated to me at less than eight thousand,
and that previous to their march it would amount to
ten thousand, with fourteen pieces of artillery. I
have, however, no account that it ever exceeded eight,
and that is the number on which my calculation was
formed. This force, upon the evening of the 9th or
morning of the 10th, marched out from Barcelona'
and entered Villa Franca, at four o'clock in the even.'
ing of the 11 tit, from whence it was reported to me to
march at twelve o'clock at night fct Vendrells, dis-
tant only eighteen or twenty miles froni Tarragona.
by the great road, and a few miles fur lier by another
road, by which cannon can easily pass. On the 9tl)
or 10th the arrival of Marshal Suchk at Valencia wit,
made known to me ; his exact f' rre wars n ver per
fectly ascertained, but from the intelligence rta.e4ved
from Valencia, he marched from thence w ith gout
men, and certainly in the rear of that place had tie
power of drawing great reinforcements to his arm).
To these corps must be added, a body of lot
men, which had previously arrived at Tortosa, mat
-Another corps, independent of the garrison of two
thousand five hundred men, who had arrived at Le--
rida. These corps, which lam sure Ido not exag-
gerate, amount to twenty thousand five hundred men,
with which, in four or five days, Marshal Suchet
could attack the Allied Army, if he thought proper
or avoid an action if he wished still more to reinforce
his army. Your Lordship, on the other hand, will
slsserve, that I could scarcely bring into the field I
twelve thousand men, and that the army of Catalonia
was stated to me at eight thousand five hundred,
'snaking twenty thousand fire hundred, of which two
British and two Spanish divisions were at the Col de
Balagaer, and could not be withdrawn, and I could
tot leave less than two thousand fire hundred to cover
the artillery and stores, and to contain the garrEon of
Tarragona. The two corps, at the least, would
amount to upwards of four thousand five hundred
men, leaving me sixteen thousand men to meet the
best French troops in Spain, amounting to upwards
of twenty thousand.
I am sure there is nobody more willing to give full
credit to the gallantry of the Spanish troops than I
am, but your Lordship well knows that they are tut.
able to move, and I could not therefore depend upon
tae execution of any order which necessarily oViiged
them to make a movements; and of troops of this di.-
ssription, I had about thirteen thousand men ; unless,
therefore, I could place them in position, which, as the
I:ench had the option of fighting when and where
they pleased, it was impossible I could place any re.
tance upon them. My British and German troops
amount only to four thotissixd five hundred. Perhaps
your Lordship may be of opinion, that, under these
circumstances, I ought to have risked an action, had
no other unfavourable objections existed; but when
your Lordship is informed, that I had no possibility
of retreat, if unsuccessful, that there would be no
hopes of embarkation if followed, and that the army
Must have been unavoidably lost if beat, I venture
so hope that your Lordship will think, however much
it is to be regretted, that I have adopted the only means
of maintaining, entire, or indeed of saving an army
greater eon&
at which so much depends. I feel the

Sir Jo!IN MURRAY'S Dispatches arc now before the
Public. The whole disposeable force of the enemy in
Catalonia was rapidly advancing from three points
against him. On the right he had to dread the attack
of at least eight thouiand men, with fourteen pieces
of cannon, from Barcelona, commanded by the
French General MATinEtt. On the left, SuctizT was
rapidly coming up from Valencia with nine thutts:,nd
men, and with the power of drawing numerous rein-
forcements from his rear. In Walt he had a bcdy of
1000 men at Tortosa, and another corps at Lerida,
besides the garrison of Tarragona, which last con-
,i,ted of 2500 men. In all, the enemy's force actu.
ally in the field amounted to 20,500 men. Sir Joun's
whole torte amounted to 17,500, of whom 13,( 00
were Spaniards—the rest were British and Germans.
* The Marquis of WELLI-NGTON'S dispatches are dated
from Ostiz, situate a little to the West of Pampluna.
Though slant, they are sweet, and spew our great
General in a point of view peculiarly his own. After
the battle of Vittoria, (seductive indeed to the mind
of the victorious soldier) we do not find him rashly
dashing to Bayonne for mere empty splendour—but,l
what to weak minds would appear humiliating, he
takes a retrospect of Monsieur CLAUSEL at Loprono;
who, after the news of the victoty of Vittoria, scam-
pered quickly across the Ebro ; and, trusting to the
surest limbs of Frenchmen—their legs—cheated his
Lordship by a forced march upon Zaragossa. The
British troops, wanted doubtless for more certain and ,
important operations, discontinued the pursuit, but
the indefatigable MINA and DON JULIAN persevered
in harassing the fugitive. What ! the Commander
in Chief of the great Army of the North flying before
a Guerilla Leader ! Tell it not in France—publish it
not in the streets of Paris !

Pamplona and St. Sebastian's are closely blockaded;
and we may calculateoupn their speedy reduction.
A battering train, upon a large and formidable
scale, is ready for shipment for the Coast of Biscay ;
and, after the fall of the two garrisons above men-
tioned, we may reasonably calculate upon its employ-
ment against Bayonne. Castro and Guetaria, in the
neighbourhood of Bilboa, have been evacuated by
the enemy..

There is one feature In the Bulletin somewhat in-
complete. We have it Officially announced, that—
" Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK had arrived and taken
the Command of the Eastern Army." As, from
the same source of intelligence, Ministers must be in
possesSion of the local situation of such army, we
can see no impropriety in their satisfying the public
on this head.

The intelligence communicated in a Plymouth
Paper, of a French vessel having brought news to
Cadiz that an insurrection had broken out at Toulon,
is not credited. Accounts from Cadiz several days
later than that of the article in question, do not men-
tion the event eyed as a rumour•

tainly has.not made such rapid progress as might be
expected, the number of deaths being limited to four
or five daily, which is very inconsiderable in a popula-
tion of 35,000 and upwards. The strictest precautions
are now observed, and as the warm season adva:tces,
it is hoped we shall be able to drive it away altoge-
ther. As you may suppose,. business of every descrip.
tion is suspended ; all public places are shut up, and
many families have retired to the country. We have
been locked up for the last fortnight in the house.—
We use every precaution which prudence dictates,
avoiding all communication with the public ; all pro-
visions are immersed in water, and letters are care-
fully fumigated ; we all now wash our own linen,
cook our own victuals, &c. tkc."

The Valencia Gazette, of June 19, contains the fol•
lowing article: .

XA fIVA, Jest 14.

" The General•in-Chief of this army gave orders, that at two
in the morning of yesterday, this army should march in four di-
visions, to make a strong reconnoitring upon the cacrny's posi-
tion on the left of the Xucar, which extended from Sueca to
Antillar. Four of General Roche's divisions were destioed for
this operation by the right.

" The enemy occupled'Alera and Carcagente, with 3500 in•
fantry, 400 horse, and six pieces of artillery, under General Ha-
rispe, who, when he knew our troops were near, and driving in
his advanctd posts, demanded assistance from Alberique, from
which point he was reinforced; in addition to which, the 117th
Regiment came from Sueca, so that be collec•ed nn 5.100 to
0000 men. He detached his hone and artillery against the Prince
of Anglaua, who was upon the high road to the left, with only
the single battalion of Cremona and two squadrons, which, not
being able to resist the enemy's charge, began to retire. Gene-
ral Roche reinforced him wi h the Alicant division of Cacadures,
which suffered considerably in thi: affair, notwithstanding its
bravery, losing 200 men 2nd some officers, and suffaring sans
dispersion by the charge cf the enemy's horse.
" In this situation was General Roc:if...l Division at ten in the
morning, when he was informed a :trong enemy's column was
marching to the heights on his right.

" At the same moment the Arragon battalion, part of that of
Chincilla, and the Valencian Cac:.!ores, took a position on the
highest of them, f,r the purpose of making a stard in that posi-
tion, and even fighting the enemy, w hu had made himself master
of the place and high-road 111:0 men only defended this point
against the enemy's superiority, who made no progress till two
o'clock in the afternoon.

" It was expected they would have been assisted by other co-
lumns, but objects of no less importance kept them employed.—
Their ammunition failing, because it was not easy to convey it
to that position, orders were given for them to retire by eche-
lons. The fint sez.s very brisk : the enemy suffered a considerable
loss—it amounts to 600 men ; and Roche's division lost from
250 to SOO men. Their cartridges being spent, the troops re'
tired by varipus ways to this point of reunion.

" The enemy did not dare to advance from Carcagez.te ; both
patties remained in the former positions. The battalions of Cane-
nas was in the rear, carrying an important point. We have lost
some excellent ofscersi"
