SPANISH PAPERS.

The Governor of Lerida has sent to his Excellency
Don Antonia Cornel, the following dispatch :
" After the French Generals Count Gerran and
Mortier had arrived with their divisions on the con-
fines of this important district, I endeavoured to draw
the attention of the enemy, according to the instruc-
tions I had received from General Blake, towards the
banks of the Cinca, observing, with the greatest vigi-
lance, at the same time, his intentions and move-
ments, and availing myself for these purposes of the
troops to be employed as the garrison of this place.
The enemy was then occupied with the city of Bar-
bastro, and various parishes in its neighbourhood, as
also some others on the right of the Cinca. On the
left he possessed Monzon, and the castle belonging to
it, from whence he was enaipled to molest, with every
species of militarT oppression, the neighbourhood, re-
quiring from its distressed inhabitants, provisions and
other contributions. _ _

The tovin cf Albelda having refused to surren-
der, the enemy-determined to make an e \ ample of it,
and, fcr this purpose, he advanced with 1400 men.—
This purpose he was obliged disgracefully to aban-
don, he being defeated at Tamaritc by the troops
posted there under my orders, consisting of about
700 men, commanded in person by Colonels Perena
and Baget, and by some Arragonese and Catalonian
riflemen. The greater part of the French withdrew
to Barbastro, leaving about 200 in Monzon. The
natives of the town, irritated by the yoke imposed
upon them, after some days of suffering, rose upon
the French in, Monzon, and with only sticks and
knives, and 70 muskets, they killed twelve of them in
the streets, while the rest fled towards Barbastro. _ _

" The enemy, anxious to avenge himself for this
injury, proceeded on the right bank of the Cinca to
Pomar, and on the 16th inst. in greater numbers,
they passed the ford, resolved to carry all before them
by fire and sword. Supported by a competent pro-
portion of cavalry, they commenced the attack in the
town of Monzon, where Colonel Perena, with his
reduced battalion, and with a third part of the gar-
rison of the city, was posted. With this small force,
by a continued and well directed fire, he not only re-
strained the impetuosity of the French, but he drove
them from Pueyo of which they had possessed them-
selves. The following day, with a stronger force,
they renewed the attack upon Monzon, and penetrated
even to the streets of the town • but Colonel Perena
was by this time supported by the troops under Colo-
nel Bagel. who flew to his assistance from Fonz,
and the result was, that the enemy ingloriously re-
tired with great loss to Pam. Of all these transac-
tions, istinctual and frequent information is given to
me, and, in consequence of such communications, I I
gave the suitable orders, endeavouring to give spirit
to the operations, and sending to the points of attack
ammunition, and other necessary supplies.
" Mortified by these defeats the enemy brought to
his assistance the 2000 men which remained in Bar-
bastro, who, full of self-sufficiency, hastened to incor-
porate themselves with their fellows, jointly to attack
our brave troops with this superiority of numbers.
Fortunhtely the Cinca had risen, which ti ley were
obliged to ford, and notwithstanding their increased
strength, they could not accomplish the passage of
the river to unite with their companions. The ':vent
was, that those who were on the lift bank, intimidated
by this unexpected accident, took flight to Albalate,
intending to retreat by the bridge ofFraga. fore-
saw their design, and arranged measures accordingly
to frustrate their purpsse ; I ordered 500 men to be
drawn from the garrison of this place, and sent with
them the grenadiers of the regiment of Granada in-
fantry, with the view that they should occupy this
bridge; and, if necessary, break it down. This order
was properly obeyed.
" I gave notice of this proceeding to Colonels Baget
and Perena, directing them to pursue the fugitives,
which were in number about a thousand, with forty
cavalry.. Thus pressed on all sides, the enemy fell
back upon Vinefar and San Esteban towards Fronz
and Estedilla, to save themselves repassing the Cinca
among the mountains situated at the confluence of the
Esera, and they thus arrived in the vicinity of Estada,
galled at every step by our active warriors.
" It would detain your Excellency too Jong, if I
were to notice all the circumstances under which our
officers, subalterns, and peasants have distinguished
themselves. The latter flocked from all the neigh-
housing districts to participate in these glorious ac-
tions. It will be enough to tell you the happy result
of these laborious but honourable days, principally
the 16th, 17th, and 21st inst. More than 6(X) sol-
diers, and a considerable number of officers, are pri-
soners. The Commander, a principal Officer of the
Legion of Honour, was ducked in the torrent of the
Cinca ; many others fell in the field of battle, and
many were wounded and drowned in the same river,
in short, 1300 of the best French troops are annihila-
ted in these conflicts, so honourable to our arms, and
so disgraceful and destrurctive to the enemy.
" The 2000 men which remained on the right
.bank of the eines returned to Barbastro on the mor.
ning of the 21st, and, full of shame and terror, with-
drew to Pina.

" I have progressively imparted these transactions
to the General-in• Chief, but their acknowledged im-
portance, the general enthusiasm displayed by the loyal
Arragonese, the revived courage of these oppressed
districts, and the advantage which may be made of
their patriotism, assisted by the natural advantages
possessed by their mountains, by the Riba Gorza,
and by the territory of Barbastm, all these citcum-
stances, I say, have induced use to communicate di-
rectly to your Excellency, the honour of whose apps.
bation I hope' to deserve. At the same time, I in.
treat that you will have the goodness to communi-
cate the whole particulars to hjs Majesty, should
your Excellency think it expedient to do so.
" GOD preserve you, &c. (Signed)
" JOSEPH CASIMIR° DE LAVALLE.

" Lerida, May as, 1809. r
The Captain-General of Arragon has sent the fol-
lowing,dispatch under date of the 20th of May.
" 1-hieve already informed your Excellency that,
in order to oppose. the French troops which occupied
Alcaniz and its neighbourhood, and to protect a part
of the provinces of Catalonia and Valencia where
they unite with Arragon, some force was posted at
Niovella, so as to form a line with the banks of the
Algas. The duty of this detachment was to protect
the defiles through which the French might threaten

Tortosa, or to obstruct the communication between
this place and Mequinez. The troops of Movell-a
defended one of the principal roads leading to Va-
lencia.
44 The Supreme Junta having authorised me to
undertake the dislodgment of the division of the
enemy which occupied these territories, I afterwards
endeavoured to unite these troops ; and having joined,'
I reinforced with others which I drew from the gar-
rison of Tortosa. Lieutenant-General the Marquis.
of Lazan led to the point of rendezvous the forces
of the Alps, and Field Marshal Don Pedro Roca,,;
those under his orders in Newrella. The army of the.
enemy consisted of a division of the fld corps, which+
is that which occupies Arragon, and is commanded
by General Junot. This division, when it commenced
the siege of Saragossa, consisted of from ten to
twelve thousand men, of 800 to 1000 horse ; but,
according to the best accounts I could procure, it was',
reduced afterwards to 6 or 7000 men, and 500 or .5.50
horse, and is now under General Lavalle.
" This commander had his head-quarters in Al-
caniz, where he usually retained his main body, but
making occasional sallies and sending large detach.'
Ments to harass us, who were frequently approaching
him to observe and to destroy the French out-posts.
By accident, Lavalle was making an excursion of
the kind alluded to, with two or 5000 men, occupy-
ing the town of Beceyte on the same day that the
Marquis de Lazan purposed himself to arrive there ,
with his troops. Although this General, conformably
with my instructions, was to avoid every conflict with'',
the enemy until his junction with our other forces, he'
felt confidently that he ought not to allow the enemy,
in such circumstances, to retire unpunished, and he
ordered some light troops to occupy some advanta-
geous positions to annoy Lavalle, who was miguided
by his own presumption. In the result, when he re-
treated to Alcaniz, he was under the necessity of
passing through the fire of our poits, and he shame-
fully fled with the loss of 80 or 100 men at least in
killed and wounded—among the former of; which was
a Lieut. Colonel of a Polish Regiment ; whereas we
had only two killed and three or four wounded.
" On the following day, which was the 17th, the
Marquis continued to advance, and the junction was
effected at Monroyo, notwithstanding the great diffi-
culties in the conveyance of the artillery over the
rocks that intervene between Tortosa and Morella,
and even from Morella onwards. On the 18th we
proceeded to the hermitage of Fornoles, and from
thence to Alcaniz, distant about 5.k hours, undertaking
during the darkness of the night our march for the
immediate attack. The vanguard, commanded by
Lieut.-Colonel Don Pedro Texada, endeavoured if
possible to interpose between. Alcaniz and Val de
Algorfa. The usual position of the advanced guard
of the enemy, and the districts of Castelseras and
Torrecillo were occupied by two columns under the
command of Colonel Martin Gonzalez de Menchaca
and Don Josanh Cucalo, Commander of the Batta-
lion called tha Reserve of Arragon. The rest of the
small army, viz. three columns of infantry, under
!Colonels Ranzon Perez and D. Luis Andriani and
I Lient.ilaslonel D. Manuel Carboiz ; the cavalry, un-
der
Brigadier-General D. Miguel lbarrola ; and the
train of artillery, under Commandant-Gen rah D.
Martin Garcia Loigorri, proceeded by the only path
that leads from Morella to Alcaniz.
46 As soon as we arrived in sight of Val de Al-.
gorfa, I instructed Carboiz to send
.forward a consi-
derable number of small parties, supporting them
with the rest of his column. Observing that the
enemy proceeded towards it by some mud walls and
rocky eminences at the entrance of the place, and that
he could only be dislodged with loss, especially as
he was defended by a parapet, which he had surroun-
ded by a ditch, with the view of waiting there for re-
inforcements, I directed that two cannons out of four
should play upon him to obstruct his purpose. In the
event after four or five discharges, the five or six hun-
dred French began to retreat by the way of Alcaniz,
but not without being rapidly pursued by our small
parties. They had not fled half a league, when fal-
ling in with Traxada they were completely dispersed,
distributing themselves in narrow and obscure tracks,
and were prevented from accomplishing their object
of uniting with the division at Alcaniz.
".The columns of Menchaca and Cucala intended
to support the attack on the left, approaching the
van-guard at this moment, the enemy determined
precipitately to retreat by the way of Simper, hastily
leaving behind him the rest of our traaps, which
were advancing with extraordinary zeal to participate
in the action; but the only consolation that' had was
the discovery of the track to be pursued, by the car-
cases of men and horses, by the stains of blood on
the earth, and the like desolations of the course of
the flight of the enemy. The loss of tilt Later must
have been considerable, but our own c..nsists only of
six or eight killed or wounded. We could not make
more than ten or twelve prisoners, on account of the
velocity with which the French took to their heels.
" I cannot justly describe to your Excellency the
spirit of our brave troops, or the admirable order with
which they proceeded under the able command of ,
their respective Chiefs and Officers, to which my two
subordinate Generals, the Marquis of Lazan and D.
Pedro Roca, essentially contributed. I ought to
mention with particular distinction those officers and
troops of the columns which joined in the action, and'
their several commanders, D. Martin de Menchaca,
D. Josef Cucalo, D. Manuel Carboiz, and D Pedro
Taxada. It was impossible to Witness without extreme
sensibility a-nuinerous people rising from bensath the
yoke of oppression, and receiving their deliverers with
expressionsofthemostardentgratitude. Ifit werepossi:
ble that the Ty rant of the World could have seen the effu-
sion of heartfelt joy, and could haVe heard the continual
exclamations " May Spain flourish----May Ferdinand
VII. live for ever—May our sacred Religion be pre-
served ;"—he would have been fully undeceived as to
the possibility of his brother acquiring in any part of
Spain, I will not say the affections, but the obedience
of her natives.

4, We are informed, that yesterday evening late,
Lavalle arrived at Hijar with his division, cantoning
his troops in that district, in Samper, and in the ad-
jacent territory, and that the two detachments of 600
and of 200 men evacuated Caspe and Calanda with
great precipitation.
4, I give your Excellency information of these events
that you may submit it to the notice of his Majesty.

From the same General on the 21st of May
sent the following dispatch :

44 The details from the Governor of Mequir,-.T.:,
with respect to the burning of the flying bridge of
Ebro, were delayed some days, and at the molar;
when I received them, I was proceeding to eng...,..r
in the expedition I have mentioned, and therefore): •.i
not time to prepare them for the inspection of yc;.:-
Excellency. Separating all superfluous matter fro:7
these details, the affair was concisely as follows
detachment of 300 men under the orders of D. A-
gustin de Roda, proceeded to the neighbourhood Gt.
Alborge, where the bridge was extended, cowl:,
ing of a species of pontoon upon launches, competer,..
to convey over some hundreds with their arms are.
equipments, much like that which the enemy had
constructed opposite to Caspe. Some combustil,l,
matter was prepared, and then floated to the work-,
in consequence of which the bridge was destroyed.
The guard of the flying bridge consisted of about n‘.
men, besides 12 pontooners. The whole patty wa•
surprized, and I believe that not one escaped, as ow
troops made 29 prisondrs, ten of them were %minded,
and twelve or thirteen were killed. The promptituck,
secrecy, and good order with which ti's operatic:
was conducted, without the assistance of any of
neighbouring detachments, is very meritorious.

The General of the Army of La Carolina,
Marshal de Camp Don Pedro Gormarest, has sent t!..e
following dispatch, dated the 24th May
" Without admitting any unnecessary delay, I
transmit to the hands of your Excellency the &sp., tc..11
which, at nine o'clock this night, I received fret,
Brigadier-General Don Diego Ballesteros, Colonel of
the Regiment of Dragoons of Granada, and Coln.
mander of my Van.guard in the action in the neigh.
bourhood of Alcabillas, undo the orders of the Can.
tam of the, Regiment 1). Nugiul Rozales, on the 22d
of the present month.—The couta*e and enthusiam
of the Spanish troops ought at all times to be consri.
cuous, but especially when they fight -for their high-
est and most sacred interests, and for the restoration
to his lawful throne of a Sovereign who deserves the
most ardent affection of all the people of Spain and
the Indies, our oppressed Ferdinand the Viral.
" This action has had the beneficial effect of disap-
pointing the well-known intentions of the enemy, and
of causing to him much greater injury than the loss
we have suffered. The advantages we have obtained
with inferiot forces also place this conflict among the
most distinguished of our country. The recommen-
dation that Brigadier-General Ballesteros gave of the
valour of Captain Miguel Rozales will deserve your
respect. He was the first who, at the head of th:
cavalry, within pistol shot of the enemy, darted
into the midst of their troops, which had a powerfa
effect in the example it presented, and the result of
the action sufficiently evinces the military talents of
this officer.

" With this dispatch, Grimarest will accompany
that of Captain Rozales, who, without speaking of
the part he himseli performed in this glorious contest,
speaks in the following terms of the troop he com-
manded The simple narrative that I present t 3
your Lordsl.ip of the action of yesterday, is the best
recommendation of the officers and troop under
my orders. Both of these in general, and of each
one in particular, I may say, that they attacked the
enemy with promptitude and intrepidity, and this
guarded themselves from the destruction he had pre,
pared for us ; and he has been taught to respect even
our small body, by the union and excellent discipline
they preserved.'
" The infantry, under the orders of Captain Josef
de Villa-Senor, manifested the utmost coolness, and
were not in the least intimidated by the cavalry which
bore down upon them.
" The patroles of Spanish horse, and of the infna,
try of Ciudad Real, commanded by Don Juan Moran,
made a diversion, which prevented the whole body of
the enemy's cavalry from attacking me, and destroyed
by an active fire, a great part of his troop, The dm-
, goons of Granada without firing, sustained the charges
of the French, and despising their attacks, advanced
sword in hand upon their opponents with the greatest
enthusiasm and valour.

‘4 The courageous carbineer, Juan Molina, deserves
the particular respect of your Lordship. He was
ialone, in the midst of a party of horse grenad'ers of
the enemy, killed those who were nearest to him, and
distributed his blows so furiously, that being intimi-
dated, they opened a pa!sage for him. I reckon
among the most fortunate ciicumstances of yesterday,
that we did not lose this brave fellow, notwithstand-
ing he received dne stroke with a sword, another with
a pike, seven bullets in his body, and fifteen in his
Clothes, the marks of all which, with the utmost com-
posure, he shewed ;o his companions, and lamented
only, that with our little force, we could not destroy'
all the Frmchmeti: This example of heroism, in per!.
feet conformity with his general character, gives him
a claim to the thanks of his Majesty, and- ;o your
august. recommendation of him w s*.crionerdi; ifi
Chief, in order that he may be rewardedin propor-
tion to his exalted merit.

" On our part, we have had only six killed; among
whom is the cadet Don Luis Saavedra, tghtwounded,
and four prisoners, and with the latjer is the cadet,
Don Manuel Garcia Biedma. 1141 loss of our ene-
mies is estimated at from 15 to 20 killed, and more
than SO wounded ; by which they will iearn that they
cannot intimidate us by numbers, and that their supe-
riority in this respect, will not always enable them to
obtain the victory, when opposed to brave Spaniards."
The Supreme Junta of the Government of the King-
dom, in the name of his Majesty, Don Ferdinand VIL
has ordered General Don Francisco Venegas, to ac•
quaint the troops concerned in this action, that the
Sovereign is pleased with the discipline and valour it
has manifested, and that his Majesty, ever ready to
reward .he merit of the worthy defenders of their
country, has appointed Don Miguel Rozales to the
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel ; and the Carbineer, Dor.
Juan Molina, is nominated to the rank and pay of an
Ensign of cavalry, with the use of the Sword of
Honour.

Last night we received Frankfort Papers to the
50th alt. Berlin to the 2d instant. and Hamburgh to
the 6th instant. The statement that Raeb.bad been
relieved by the Austrians is not persisted in; 'lt is
also certain that they have evacuated Leipsic, of
which, however, they do not seem to have intended
taking permanent possession. Thiplacewas entered
on the 25th June by a corps of Saxon und-Wirtemberg '
troops to the number of "7000. The Atstrians had'
evacuated it at midnight. King lEROME had sterived
there on the 25th, and ordered General D'Amottec
to cross the Saal, and attack the Austrians, with whom
be had several actions, in all of which the enemy, as
usual, claims the advantage. But, on the other hand,
the intelligence respecting the progress of the boar..
:eels scattered throughout Germany is very promising.
The Duke of VALMY (K7iLLERDIAN) has,for greater
safety, removed the Treasury of Hanan to Mayence.
In Frankfort, serious apprehensions appear to have
Item entertained that Lindau had fallen into the hands
of the Tyrolese ; while General CHAS-TELLER has ef.
fected a communication with Hungary, through the
mountains.

The Austrians have penetrated into Fuld,.

The Duke of Ragusa (MA RISONT )t commanding
the army of Dalmatia, it is said, has suffered a severe
defeat on the confines of Hungary.
The report of the occupation of Cuxhaven by the
English is confirmed. A small squadron, consisting
of four gun-brigs and two sloops from Heligoland,
drove-the enemy out of, the place; demolished the
batteries, and 'obliged the Municipality to lay down
the buoys in the Elbe, which had been taken up by
the. French. The military force of this expedition
was only 120 men. It sailed from Heligoland on the
4:k.assdiamded at-Cuxhaven en the sth. The Dutch
troops, -who were in possession of the place, fled.—
The French gens d'armes, usually stationed in that
quarter, had been previously withdrawn for the purr
pose of strengthening the Westphalian Army. In-
deed :be whole of that line of coast has been so com-
pletely stripPed of French. troops to reinforce Napo-
tsom, that any force sent from this country might
easily obtain possesson of some strong places in that
rligttcr, and produce .a diversion highly favourable to
the Austrians. The inhabitants of Cuxhaven testi-
tiA the highest joy at seeing the British flag once
more flying in their port.

It is reported that Lord COLIUGWOOD has fallen in I
ith and captured off Sardinia, a French squadron
cf three sail of the line and two frigates, which had
s:.iled from Toulon to intercept the expedition from
S:cily. It is not improbable that the success of the
-.nps sent to Barcelona a few months ago, may have
:.educed the French to risk another expedition of the
:I.le description. No particulars of the above events,
have, as yet, reached the Admiralty..
Yesterday about twelve o'clock his MaJzsvt ar-
rived at the Queen's Palace from Windsor, where he

EMBARGO i. . ,
This morning an Embargo Was laid upon vessels
of every description in the River, not even excepting
the fishing smacks, and no doubt similar orders have
been sent to every part of the coast. The object is' to
prevent the possibility of any farther information
reaching the enemy's coasts, respecting the Expedi-
tion now about to sail.
The Embargo will continue for some time after the
sailing of the men of war and transports. This mea-
sure was determined upon yesterday at a Cabinet
Council after a long and mature deliberation.
THE EXPEDITION.
The Expedition is to sail in four divisions, and the
whole will get under weigh so as to reach the object
of destination at the same period. The arrangements
1 for the embarkation and disembarkation of the troops
are, we understand, very satisfactorily settled. The
different divisions are to sail from Portsmouth, the
IDowns, Harwich, and the Nore. The whole may be
!-embarked in 48 hours, and disembarked in a still
shorter period.

" SHEERNESS, JULY 12.

“ The LEYDEN transport man of war is to take in
600 of the Guards at Sheerness, and proceed imme.
diately to the Downs; and all the gun-boats that
were preparing there are to sail to-morrow. Every
exertion is using to finish the ships that are to proceed
on the Expedition from Sheerness.”

(4 PORTSMOUTH, JULY 11.
" The Charger gun-vessel takes convoy to the
Downs.

" A number of small craft are ordered out with
the expedition—to be.under the direction of the Mas-
ter Attendants, who are going in them to render as-
sistance to the men of war in event of their grounding
in making the grand attack. Mr. BaowN at Ports-
mouth, Mr. Doummts at Plymouth, and Mr. Rohs
at Deptford, are the three Master Attendants pitched
upon for this duty ; and from their great abilities in
their profession, there is no doubt but they will be of
infinite service in the way of their duty, if it shall be
required.

" Lord CHATHAM. the Commander in Chief of
the expedition, is expected here to review the troops
before they embark, and then return to Harwich to
embark himself for his destination."

. We have inserted in our columns some additional
documents, consisting principally of official letters
from the Spanish Commanders, that erill disclose some
important transactions in the interior of Spain, which
the French have not thought proper to detail in their
military narratives.
It is with considerable pleasure we have to an-
nounce the publication of 44 Les Metuoires et Lettres '
des: Prince de Ligne' " forming the continuation of
" Les Lanes et rensees:' published by Madame de
Swrt.; also of a new and exquisite novel from the
pen of LA FONTAINE, entitled 44 Les Querelles de
Female."

CITY BUSlNEBB.—Yesterday a Court of Common
Council.'vas held at Guildhall, which was numerously
attended.. Several petitions for leases *of premises
were read and referred to the Committees to examine
and report, and also several reportsfor granting leases
were read, and referred back to be carried into exe-
cution. The picture of the battle of Agincourt, pre-
sented to this Court tit Mr. R. K. PORTER, was order-
ed to be flung up in Egyptian-hall at the Mansion-
house. Notice of a motion was given to expunge from'
the, minutes the late orders of thanks, &c. to Colonel
WARDLE.

A Court-martial was held on board the MAGNA- I
MIME, at Sheerness, to try Mr. Jon& HlNcxs, Car-
penter of his Majesty's ship NYMPHEN, for drunken-
nesF. The charges being fully proved, he was sen-.
tenced to be broke, and to serve before the mast in ,
any ship the Commander in Chief should think pro-
r.

e letters from India, received by the last fleet,
N 6 to the 2d of February. At that time General tieol.si's expedition, which had been ready since
the 18th of July, still remained in pert ; end. it de-
pended upon further ad vices from Persia, as well as
upon an answer to a reference the General had made
to Calcutta, whether it wobld proceed or not. The
plans of Lord Miwro respecting Persia bad been
ttirown into a state of complete embarrasment by Sir
HARFORD JONES having accepted of invitations from
the Courts of Teheran and Schiraz to proceed to the
latter place, for the purposes of there opening negoci,
ations—overtures, which General Matemakt had re-
jected with indignation, as derogatory to the honour
and dignity of the State he represented.
Accounts had been received at Bombay of diffe-
rences having arisen between the British and the Go-
vernor of Travancore ; of an attempt that had been
made to cut off the President, Colonel MACAULAY,
snd of the Dewan's troops having attacked the lines
of our subsidiary force at Quilon • notwithstanding
fvhich, it was rather expected that the dispute would
Be accommodated. On the arrival of the fleet, how-
freer, at Cochin, it found the Piedmontaise, with Co-
lonel MACAULAY on board, lying there, for the pros.
tection of a few companies of tepoys, that occupied
the place, and were surrounded on all sides by the
Travanconians, in considerable force. Several skir-
/Niles had taken place, in which weshad,kutikcaoir
50 men, and our troops were literally Confined to the
limits of the demolished fortifications of Cochln. Our
force at Quilon, under Colonel CIIALMERS, had been
attacked, and had likewise attacked in return, with
the loss of about 11.5 killed and wounded. Many of
the enemy had been destroyed ; but the communica-
tion of our troops with the interior of the country was
cut off, and we were dependant for provisions ,and
supplies upon Malabar, from whence these wore sent
along the coast. It was not perfectly known how far
the Rajah of Travancore himself was implicated in
these proceedings, which apparently originated wi:h
the Dewan, who had assumed the entire controul, and
had called forth the whole force of the country. We
were evidently at open war with this little kingdom,
belonging to our oldest, and hitherto really faithful
Ally ; and our troops were marching, to subdue and
conquer it, from all quarters. The Rajah of Cochin
having refused to join the Travanconians, had been
put to death ; and his successor, for the same cause,
had suffered a similar fate; but the third had concur-
red in the views of the Travancore Dewan, and had
with his people taken up arms against us. Captain
FOOTS, of the Piedmontai,v, had destroyed indiscri-
minately every vessel, of whatever size or description,
lat Quilon, among which there were, doubtless, several
belonging to the Arabs, and to the northern parts of
the Malabar coast.
Colonel MACAULAY had had recourse to the measure
of enrolling and arming the Christian inhabitants of
Travancore, in consequence of which the Dewan had
issued an order to put all the Christians to death,
many of whom had suffered. Off Cape Comorin, the
fleet passed seven small vessels, conveying the 19th
regiment, which General MAITLAND had sent from
Columbo to Quilon ; and at Galle, it was understood,
that Aujengo had been taken possession of by the De-
wan's troops.
In addition to the above unpleasant intelligence,
We are concerned to announce, that just before the
' Earl St. Vincent left Ceylon, accounts of some fur-
ther occurrences had reached that island from Madras,
which we are sorry to state were likely to be produc-
tive of serious consequences. Several Officers, it
seems, had preferred certain charges against Lieute-
nant Colonel MuNno, Quarter Master General, who
had in consequence been put under arrest by General
MACDOWALL. The Government ordered the arrest
to be taken off, and the charges to be withdrawn ;
but owing to the greatest part of the Officers disap-
proving of the latter measure, the General refused
until. a Court Martial had been held upon Colonel
Muria°. A Council met, and the result was, that
General 244.cnow*Ara. was summoned to attend ; but
he declined, till he had first received a special order
for that purpose ; and, on that being issued, he de-
livered in a protest against the conduct of the Govern-
ment. General MACDOWALL has since taken his
passage for Europe, in the Lady Jane Dundas, after
great difficithy in getting away, the Government
haxing attempted to compel him to disembark. Many
Officers have been suspended, who were considered
by their acts as partizans of General MACDOWALJ..

French. and retaken by the Nereide, and brought into Table Bay.
Two of the enemy's ships were said to be cruithig off Polio-
Isturo, in the Chinetse. Seas, with a view to. intercept the China
'fleet. Two 74's and several frigates, have gone to loot after
them, and to continee on that station to protect the trade.
