together with a swelling in the neck—all of which gave way to

SIEGE Or CADIZ.

End of September.—OcTonEit.--In the n;ght of the
2bt.. .:.Ityu, of September, the besieged attempted
an attack upon the centre of the besieging army, oe-
copying the lines of the Arrecissse.
F" •r five thoeGltei mll marched ant by the
bridge of Snaso and la Carraca ; they were supported,
by a number of gun-boats, which ascended the canals
of Zuraque, Aguilar, and La Cruz ; our advanced
posts !clued in good order to the works, where the
9th regiment of light infantry was drawn up ; the,
battalions of reserve having also taken their posi-
tion, the 9th iss•ted from the entrenchments, and
marched straight against the enemy, who was soon
overthrown, and forced to re-enter his lines, without
having been able to succeed in his plan for destroying
our advanced works; lie left the field of battle co.
vered with dead, and arms thrown away. Some
troops embarked in boats during this, were manoeuv-
ring in the two bays, 'in order to approach the land ;
the tiring of the three rechubts, the Imperiale, Bel-
lune, and Villate, vsln forced them to retreat.
In this affair we had seven men killed, and about
twenty wounded.
The Chiefs of Battalion Regeau and Bruyere, Lieu-
tenants Girard and ealmeau, and Serjeants Martin
and Langlade distinguished themselves ; some troops
commanded by these officers pursued the enemy to
his entrenchments.
The immense labours for the investment of the road
and Isle of Leon are proceeding. The engineers and
artillery are emulous in their efforts, the works have
acquired such strength that the greatest success may
be soon expected. More titan 300 cannon of large
calibre are mounted.
The artillery have cast at Seville mortars of a new
invention, which throw bombs to a distance of more
than 2000 tcises (12,000 feet). A numerous flotilla
has been created, in spite of all obstacles.
The Trocadero is become an important post, and a
fortress able io sustain a siege. Puerto Real and Chi-
clana are in a state of formidable defence.
ANDALUSIA.
•

OCTOBER.—Notwithstanding their numerous checks
on the Rio Tinto, the insurgents again attempted to
establish.themselves at its mouth, and to entrench
themselves at Huelba, under the protection of some
gun•hoats ; the Duke of Dalmatia immediately or-
dered the Adjutant-Commandant, Remond, to drive
them from that position.
On the 13th of October, that officer attacked the
Spaniards—the little fort which they had constructed
was catried by assault, in spite of the fire of the gun-
boats ; a part of the garrison was taken or killed; the
rest were drowned in attempting to reach the boats by
swimming. We were only able to take fifty prisoners.
A corps of 1200 insurgents was disturbing the
mountains of Ronda, and attempting excursions in the
roar of the army. Colonel Bonnemen was sent at
the head of a detachment against this assemblage, in
the early part of October, he came up with the enemy
at El Bosque, immediately attacked and put them to
the rout. The loss of the Spaniards was considerable.
EXPEDITION AGAINST MALAGA.

On the 14th October, an English squadron, con-
sisting of two74's, four frigates, and three brigs, with
four gun-boats and seven transports, appeared in sight
of Fuengirola, a small fort to the west of Malaga.
At four o'clock they anchored, and commenced a
brisk cannonade on the fort Soon after a disembark-
ation commenced at Cala del Moral. The English
squadron landed the 82d and 89th English regiments
of the line, and the Spanish regiment of Toledo,
which had come from Ceuta, in ail 5000 men, under

the orders of the English General Lord Blayney. On
the morning of the 15th, all the heights surrounding
the fort were covered with troops, and a battery of
five pieces was erected at the distance of 150 toises.
The English General sent a summons to surrender ;
Captain Mlokosiewicz, who commanded the garri.
son, refused to listen to the flag of truce. The fire
- of the battery and the squadron was then directed
against the fort ; but General Sebastiani having as-
sembled 3000 men, marched against the enemy, at-
tacked, and overthrew him.
The garrison of the fort seconded this movement
'by an impetuous sally, and carried the battery which
the enemy had erected against it. The English and
Spaniards fled in disorder towards the beach. The fire
of the fort sunk several gun-boats, loaded with troops,
and of the regiments which were landed some rem-
nants alone were able to re•embark.
The enemy left the field of battle strewed with
their dead, among which were found 250 English ;
several hundred soldiers of that nation were made
priswers, together with Colonels, Officers of the Staff,
and Lord Blayney, who commanded the expedition.
Five pieces of cannon were taken, besides a great
Trimly tools, chests filled with cartridges, 3cc.
Captain Miokosiewicz, Lieutenant Chelmicki, the
Chief of Battalion Bronitz, Captain Plachecki, and
Captain Authie, at the head of a squadron of dra-
goons, distinguished themselves. •
The last accounts from Andalusia are of the 10th.
The army is in good health. The Duke of Dalmatia
has detached the fifth corps, and sent it upon the
Tagus.
