VALENCIA, DEC. SO.

I:iisl7.cellency the Duke del Infantado has trans-
rlitted to the Supreme Board of Government a most
,Itisfactory account'of a skirmish between from 90
to 100 Royal Carabineers and 150 French horse, near
C kSl:ll'3ge).
Th: whole of the enemy's detachment was de-
57cred, seventeen men excepted, whom our brave
solders brought to head-quarters. In the districts
oFC:talenia and Castile which have been occupied by
the French, all the men capable of bearing arms have
been bound or manacled, and conducted to the fron-
tier, thence to be sent to the armies in the North ;
those modern Scythians thus adding the most horrid
slavery to the barbarous treatment which they inflict
upon their victims.

Before the FERDINAND VII. quitted Lisbon, the
.;5111 Regiment, which had garrisoned the fort of El-
was on the Spanish frontier, had quitted that place, it
was understood, and marched for Seville, now the
eat of the Spanish Central Junta.
Fort St. Julien, Belem Castle, and all the other
forts in and about Lisbon, were garrisoned by British
troops and the German Legion. Part of the troops
which had marched to join Sir JOHN MOORE* had re-
turned to Lisbon, and other parties of them were dai-
ly arriving. These were embarked on board the
transports immediately as they arrived. Their desti-
natcn was supposed to be Cadiz.

Saturday the Duke of YORK waited on the KING,
r-d transacted business with him, and in the after•

r,o^n returned to London.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Au-
cum., SOPHIA, AMELIA, and M'Aftv, accompanied by

1-..e4rd a sermon preached by the Honourable and
Roverend Dean LEGGE, from Acts, chap. 17, v. xii.

ard afterwards returned to the Palace.

On Saturday a Cabinet Council, at which the
Treater part of the Members assisted, was held at the
foreign Office. It sat from two till half after three
o'clock.

British Governments on the subject of the Orders of
Council, has been presented to the House of Commons.
The greaor part of the documents of which it consists,
have been long before the public • and the only mate-
rial addition is a letter from Mr. MADISON to Mr.
ERSKINE, dated March 25, 1808, which, as it contains
no new facts, but only argues with considerable inge-
agailst the justice and propriety of our Orders,
\ye think it unnecessary to insert.
The Transport Board announced on Saturday to
t..e ship-owners, that Government did not at present
.-Ltend to engage any more transports ; and the own-
.rs of some transports,particularly those of the smaller
Mass, whose contracts have or are about to expire,
:re..e received intimation that their engagements will
Tint be prolonged.

A vessel is arrived from St. l_ibc•s, whence she sailed
on the 26th ult. at which time nothing had been there
heard of tl ,e French troops. An English Naval Officer
had arrived at St. Übes from Lisbon, for the purpose
of moging the Danish ships lying at the former port
( :bout nine or ten sail), to proceed to Lisbon to act
transports for this country, and had offered them
iOs. per ton; hut the Masters would not move
dens they had a security or certificate from the
Oiricer, that after their having landed their
argoes in England, they would be allowed to leave

proach to Martinique, and the reinforcements received
by the enemy prior to its appearance off that island.

Reading, Newbury, &c. &c.
Major CAMPBELL, of the 42d regiment, Ensign
HALL, of the 38th, and the Rev. W. COOLEY, attachedl
to the horse brigade under Lord PAGET, died on Fri,
day se'nnight ; the two former of their woundsutl
Plymouth.
Joined to the deprivation which the navy has sus-1
tained in the PRIMROSE man of war, and her whole
crew, the army has to lament the loss of Lieutenant-
Colonel GEORGE and Captain NATHANIEL TUCKER,'
who were passengers in that vessel, and on their way
to join the army in Spain. They were two of eight
brothers, all arduously employed in the service, either
civil or military, of the country, and sons of the late'
President of the Council of Bermuda, a situation I
which, though it manifestly circumscribed his talents,
for which his friends were ever wishing a wider field
of action, he long filled with the most distinguished
fidelity.
Lieutenant-Colonel GEORGE TUCKER entered the'
army in 1790, and was Major of the 97th Regiment,l
and an Officer of the most unquestionable military
talent and rapid experience, to which the illustrious
Generals, Sir SAMUEL ACHMUTY, Sir DAVID BAIRD,
SPENCER, and Sir A. WELLESLEY, with whom he
served in the East Indies, at the Cape of Good Hope,
in Egypt, at Copenhagen, in Portugal, and in Spain,
have borne ample testimony. Under Sir D. BAIRD'
he filled the responsible station of Deputy-Adjutant-
General at the Cape of Good Hope ; and had the
glory of filling the same important station in the army
under Sir A. WELLESLEY, in the late unambiguous
victories over the French in Portugal. He accom-
panied Sir D. BAIRD from the Cape of Good Hope,
and arrived in England on the same day that his bro-
ther, Lieutenant-Colonel JOHN TUCKER, landed with
intelligence of the capture of Monte Video ; and the
services of both were acknowledged by Government
in their promotion to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonels
in the Army. Capt. NATHANIEL TUCKER was of the
32d Infantry, and formerly of the 33d, in which re-
giment he had the high fortune of serving under the
immediate command of then Lieutenant-Colonel now
General Sir A. WELLESLEY ; and, as well as his bro-
ther, shared in the glory of the late Campaign in
Portugal, where he was Aid-de-Camp to Major Ge-
neral NIGHTINGALE, whose confidence :.nd regard he
possessed entirely ; and, as well as his brother too,
had compressed what is generally the experience of a
length of life into a few years.
In the large earnest which Lieut.-Colonel TUCKER
had given, it is no presumption to say, that the State
has lost the service of one who would have been a
great General ; and of Captain NATHANIEL TUCKER,
from the promise of his youth, there would have been
nothing irrational in hoping the greatest future excel-
lence : but they are snatched from their country by a
most disastrous death, that shuts out all consolation
to a large family and their numerous friends, by whom
they were beloved and venerated ; for they were of
the gentlest manners, and joined to every military ac-
complishment the practice of every social duty !
The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and the Ministers
of Glasgow' are to go to church on the King's Fast-
Day, Thursday the 9th instant, in mourning, in testi-
mony of their respect and esteem for, and as a tribute
most justly due to, the memory of Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Sir JOHN MOORE.
