RIBADEO, JUNI Is.

The French, on leaving the principality of Astu-
rias, cruelly plundered the towns that they had gar-
risoned, and have demanded immense contributions
from the principal ones. Thoy are now marching,
some by the way of Santander, and others by the N.
E. of Leon, to Old Castile. The Spanish General,
who commaivis this division, has entered Oviedo,
where he intends to establish the civil government of
the principality.

SANTIAGO, JUNE 24.
The Rector and Colleges of Fonseca of this city
have generously resigned, for the establishment of the
military college, part of the edifice in which they re-
side ; and not content with this proof of their patrio-
tism, they have offered one thousand ducats for the
expences attending its necesary separation. The
Abbot and Monks of St. Martin have subscribed
40,000 teals for the s tme object.
CAI)IZ, JULY la.

General Roche has been at C trthagena, stripping
the arsenal of every thing worth carrying off, and,
sending alt to Minmca. It seems he has not been so
successful as was expected in organizing his intended
brigade. In tact, he had 1500 men t 6 begin with ;
but they were almost naked, and not a shilling is to
be had in the'country to assist in clothinthem. The
Governor of Alicant observed, tbat money should be
sent from Cadiz, as that place was the emporium of
all the wealth and merchandise of South America.
General Lacy is going to Catalonia, where he is to
have a command. This General is brave and skilful,
but being the son of an Irish officer, be‘hat not the
advantage of powerful connection to push him for-
ward, like the Spanish men of rank.
GENERAL ACCOUNT OF THE LOSSES WHICR THE UNIVLIt-
SLTY OF COIMBRA NUFNEIKED FROM THE FRENCH ARMY

" The Royal Chapel of the University lost a silver
Cup and Platter, and a silver Arrow—all the Vest-
' ments, Linen, and other Furniture of the Chapel wets
stolen.

Maces, Salvers, Standishes, &c. all of silver, of the

chequer, and the Churches of the University, lost in

Plate had been placed for security in custody of the
Reverend Treasurer of the Chapel Royal, and he was
robbed of it.
" Several Volumes were taken from the. Library,
and it is probable the Bibliotheca Hassiana has sus-
tained much damage, as the French broke open the
doors of the closets where it was arranged ; but the
loss is not yet ascertained.
" In the University Printing-house all the Portu-
guese Grammars of Lobato were carried off, as well
as a number of copies of the Selecta Latina, in six

part of them torn, wasted, and scattered about.
" The Paper Warehouse was stripped of great
quantities of Paper, some of the Printing-presses were
burned, the Types thrown into confusion, and render-

A letter has been received in Town, dated Opnrn,
the ‘231 ult. containing a miler: that Lrrd We;., pa:.
Tow had detached a division of his army in p,ii
of MARMONT, in the direction of the 13rit. of Ai-
maron. imam BONAPARTE had returned to Spain
with a large escort of cavalry, but it is not true that
any reinforcements from France have lately entered
Spain.

The Manchester Packet has arrived at. Falmn►at!i,
from Malta, Gibraltar, and Cadiz. She was 1
days on her passage from the latter place. The'ir.
telligence from Gibraltar fully confirms the acciaii,:
of the surrender of Tarragona, and informs us, that
14,000 men, English and Spaniards, in Catalonia,
had landed the day after that event. Gaeat
are expected from their services, as the French are
said to be hastily withdrawing their forces from that
part of Spain. The following are extracted from Gi.
Ibraltar and Spanish Papers, by the Above Packet t

CARTHAGENA. JULY t.

The French sailed from Grenada to surprise Vil-
lalobos ; but, the latter having been warned in time,
frustrated their projects. Ali the letters from the
eastward speak of the unfortunate loss of Tarragona.
The pusillanimous are cast down by any reverse we
happen to receive, but the mind endowed with forti-
tude is never dejected. We must rihw wait the rc-
sult of what will be attempted by the thousands of
men who have landed in Catalonia, ahhongh too late
to save Tarragona ; their number amounts to 14,000,
and notwithstanding the loss ofTarragona, these forces
cannot but influence the fate of the principality.
