FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JULY IN •
The Emperor and Empress arrived at one o'clock
yesterday, at St. Cloud. At two, the Emperor held
a Council of Commerce.
ABSTRACT OF THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIFFERENT
GENERALS OF TIIE ARMIES OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

an agreement to make a general pursuit after, and to
destroy all the makfactors that should be found lurk-
ing in their district.
g, The parishes of the mountains of Ronda defend
themselves against the bands of insurgents, when
they make their appearana., or send detachments in
pursuit of those who are at a distance from their ter.
ritories.
4, Colonel Baussain, of the 43d regiment, who
commapds at Ronda, having, on the 13th of June,
received information of the arrival, at Übrique, of a
few skeletons of Spanish regiments, moved forward
in the night, and arrived in front of the place by
day-break. He instantly caused it to be surrounded
and attacked. The Spaniards had 120 men killed ;
the rest dispersed, abandoning the depots of arms,
ammunition, and sad.iles, which the insurgents had
procured from Gibraltar, with the view of attempting
to raise a corps. These articles were burnt.
44 'On the 18th, Captain Daimont, of the 55th re-
giment, with a detachment of his company, and the
guards of Alcandete, surprised a party of 150 moun-
ted smugglers at the foot of the hills of Lope Alva-
rez, killed a part of them, dispersed the remainder,
and made prize of their horses and the whole of their
booty, which was divided among the French soldiers
4nd the civic guards.
" The reports of General Oudinot, relative to the
provinces of Cordova and Jaen, are, in every respect,
suisfactory. The province of Seville skews an example
to the rest. The nobility, landholders, and clergy, are
now fully convinced, that it is peculiarly their interest
that good order should be re-established and main-
tained. Another Spanish hul the Argonauta, which
Ura.s employed as an hospital ship, and which had on
board 650 sick French prisoners, stranded in the night
of the 25th May, near Matagorda. It was the sick
themselves that cut the cables. The enemy, while
she was drifting, made every effort to sink her by
cannon•shot, or to set fire to her. The soldiers of the
Ist corps again distinguished themselves upon the oc-
casion, by their zealous exertions to serve their dis-
tressed comrades.
‘, In Cadiz and the Isle of Leon there is an avowed
misunderstanding between the English and the Spa-
niards. The former have possessed themselves of
the park of artillery, and planted guns to fire upon
the people, from whom they apprehend a rising.—
Provisions there are excessively dear ; emigration be-
gins to take place ; and there can be no doubt that
all the merchants will leave the place, which is a
prey to all the horrors of war, discord, famine, and
disease.
" There are also numerous emigrations from Car-
thagena. According to advises from Gibraltar and
Cadiz, three Spanish sail of the line, that had left that
port with e. number of families, intending to quit the
country, were stopped by the English, and are de-
tained in the bay of Algeciras. The Junta of Cadiz
has in vain made application for their restitution.—
The English declare that they intend to keep them
as hostages. This incident has considerably increased
the discontent of the inhabitants of Cadiz, who, at
length, begin to perceive that the English, in co-
operating' in their defence, have no other motive but
that of self-interest. _

" The operations of the sicgc of Cadiz arc carried
on with the greatest activity: The posts on the right
and left have been approximated ; new batteries have
been mounted ; Puerto Real is placing in a state of
defence ; the equipment of gunboats and bomb-ves-
sels is expediting ; and as soon as the necessary stores
are collected, the enemy's squadron will lie completely
driven from, the road-stead.
" The Duke of Ahremberg, who is posted on the
Rio Tuito, continues to obtain favourable results. He
has just gained a fresh advantage. Two of his patroles,
commanded byCaptains Decoussy and Schasberg, fell
in, on the 17th ult. with a party of 130 men, thirty
of them being cavalry, near Gibraleon, killed 40 of
them, made ten prisoners, and took several horses,
without the loss of a man on our side. Quarter-Master
Levavasseur, of the 27th chasscurs, was the only per-
son wounded in this petty affair, in which he distin-
guished himself.
The fortifications of the Alhambra, Grenada,
and the works at the forts of Malaga and Jaen, are
completed, and every thing goes on well in the inte-
rior of Andalusia.

—(Conthetvi.)
" General Sebastiani reports that the expediti,on
against the insurgents of the Alpujarras,_ has been
completely successful. The English had been able
to collect in those mountains a body of about 40t'O
men, which they supported by two sail of the line.
Gehcrals Belair and Oudinot, however, have com-
pletely defeated this corps. About '2O Spanish efii-
cers have surrendered themselves ; among them is the
Chief of the Staff, and Director of the operations of
Brigadier Calvache, the head of this insurrection. In
general, the better-informed Spaniards, and those
who have nothing to expect from disturbance, are
abandoning the cause of the insurgents. The English
were interested in the insurrection of the Alpujarras,
not only in order to cherish the spirit of revolt, but
also to enable them to procure the lead, which the
mines in those mountains produce.
" General Sehastiati's plan of operations not per-
mitting him to leave his troops in the province of
Murcia, whence he ha] expelled a force of more than
15,GC0 men, some bands that had crime from Valen-

province. General Sebastiani consequently held him-
self in readiness to take the field again with his troops,
and to fall upon the enemy as soon as their move-
ments should assume somewhat of a more decided
character, and give him hopes of being able to bring
them to action ; but these assemblages having dis-

INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE.

SALAMANCA, MAY 10.

M. MARSTIAL.—His Serene Highness the Pi ince of
Wagram and of Neufchatel informs me, by his letter
of the 10th of April, that the Emperor, by his decree
of the same inonth, has created the Army of Portu-
gal, which is composed Pi. th; 2d, Gth, and Bth corps
of the Army in Spain, the command of which is in-
trusted to his Highness Ihe Prince of Essling. I have
received a letter from that Prince; dated from Paris,
20th April, in which he informs me, that he is about
t.) commence his march for Spain. His disposition is
extremely advantageous in every point of view, and
cannot but accelerate the operations of the siege of
Ciudad Roderigo. The half of my Corps is already
encamped before that place, and I shall open the
trenches as soon as I know whether the Duke of
Abrantes will furnish the garrisons of Zainora and
Toro, which will keep open my posts of communica-
tion, and will support me in case of necessity. But
even if the Duke of Abrantes will not consent to any
of tl:cse propositions, I will alone undertake the siege,
and will establish my communication by Arrila. You
request me, M. Marshal, by your letter of the :10th
April, to send a strong post of infantry as far as the
Tagus, to open my left ; but a detachment would ine-
vitably be cut to pieces, unless it consisted of about
1500 ; and, at present, when my troops are scarcely
sufficient to guard the immense space whichihey oc-
cupy, it is impossible fcr me to weaken myself by
making such detachments. lam obliged as it is, to
have above 3000 men detached, partly to assist the
artillery, to protect the ovens and magazines, and
partly to guard the convoys, which are sent to rue
from Salamanca. Besides, it is necessary that I should
leave a strong post at San Felices to watch Almeyda,
and a detachment to the left of the Agueda, to ob-
serve the movements of the Fogli,h, and to cut off
all communication with Ciudad Rodrigo, and 40(X)
men will be required as workmen, for several days—
so that there will not remain with me, strictly speak-
ing, above 12,000 men in the camp, and ready to
fight, if necessary. Nevertheless, notwithstanding
the insufficiency of my forces, the obstacles as hi, h have
been thrown in my way, and want of the means of
transporting my provisions and artillery, I hope to
be able speedily to undertake the siege of this place,
and to succeed in the operation.

" Villa Campo, beaten and routed in Arragon in
every rencontre, by the troops of the 3d corps, mar-
ched the relics of his force to Cuenca, where Basse-
court was posted wi.ll a few thousands of insurgents,
who were carried off by force from their villages.—
The arrival of Villa Campo made this body amount
to 6000 infantry and 500 cavalry, with eight pieces of
cannon. It kept some districts of the province of La

" An official account has been received here of the
approach or entrance of the English or Spanish troops
to Astorga, in consequence of. which GOO men of the
65th regiment marched yesterday, and to day SOO,
with four pieces of cannon, and 200 horse, and to-

issued for the c:mveyance of the sick to Valladolid,

means of transport, and t!ic necessity of sending as
considerable an escort with a few as with many ; they
are prcpai ing to send them off to-morrow, a circum-

Junot had all last night in readiness an escort of 40
dragoons to accompany him to Astorga, where he
intended to make some arrangements, but has sus-
pended his design.
6' It is reported that troops have marched from
-- to Zimora, where they have collected a
force of 8 or 9000 men. The brigade of the Bth corps
which set out for Banos, has not sii.ce returned. For

not unimportant to add, that the total of the troops
under Ney, Junot, and Loison, which are stationed
from here and Ledesma to Ciudad Rodrigo, including
the brigade which marched to Banos, and which has
returned to Taniames, may amount to 36,000 or

this number there is daily a considerable diminution ;

No intelli7ence has been received since yesterday
from Lord AVELLING-roN's army, but the Spanish Am.
bassador has received letters from Corunna, which
state, that up to the 9th instant Ciudad Rodrigo still
held out, and what is still more satisfactory, if true,
that the Spanish army of Gal icia had assumed- such
a formidable appearance that NEY (the Duke of El-
chingen) had bees obliged to detach 7000 y of his
besieging troops to Astorga to keep the Spaniards in
awe. This circumstance is mentioned as accounting
for the obstinacy with which the Patriots retain Ciu.
dad Rodrigo.
This intelligence is in some measure confirmed by
the arrival of a vessel from Cadiz, by which we learn
that 600 Officers had been sent from thence to assist
in organizing the recruits of Gallicia, .and subse-
quently to join the army at the defiles of Villa Franca,
where General MAIII commands a force of about
7000 men.

With respect to Lord WELLINGros's movements,
some of the most accredited letters from head-quarters
mention that it was his Lordship's intention to await
the enemy in his present position, upon the advan-
!ages of which, as well as upon the bravery and dis-
cipline of his troops, he relied with perfect confidence
of success, in the event of his being attacked. Lord
West uvorox had no intention of acting on the offen-
sive, unless the enemy should divide their forces for
any particular enterprize, in which case he would
avail himself of the opportunity to attack one of their
corps.

fly a vessel which left Cadiz CM the 28th ult. the
following letter has been received :
" We are as indifferent about the enemy as ever.
We have abundance of provisions of all kinds, and as
gold beef and mutton as you have in London-
-12,000 troops of the line, including some English,
after driving the French from Ronda and Marseilla,
are gone to attack them at Malaga, whither they are
fled. This army will be joined by 6000 Siranos
(mountaineers of the Sierr.i) and all the inhabitants
of that city.

"The English have constructed eight formidable
batteries between Puente Suazo and Sante Petre : and
the Spaniards several redoubts, which render that
quarter as impregnable as Gibraltar."

It appears by the last advices from India, that the
Company's funds are improving. The 8 per cent.
paper, which in 1798 was at 17 per cent. discount,
now bears a premium of 5 per cent. ; and the interest
14 the public funds is likely soon to be reduced to
6 per cent.

THE LATE. FAILURPS.....The principal, indeed the
only interesting article of Home Intelligence, at pre-
sent, is the state of the public credit ; and this, we
are happy to state, is gradually mending. We hear
of no more failures. Confidence seems, at last, if not
thoroughly re-established, at least gradually recover-
ing from the shock it lately received. In conse-
quence, Stocks were yesterday upon the rise. Om-1
