DISPATCH FROM BRIGADIER DON J.• A. DX LA TORRE,
COMMANDER OP THE POINT..OII SUMO, DAVID YE-
BRVARY 23.
44 The Captain ommandai of the flying partiei,
-destined to protect the operation of destroying the
battery which the enemy were erecting on Chictana-
point, hai informed sae that this has been Completely
effected ; all the works which the enemy had for:
med having been levelled with the ground. On our
side we had one killed and wounded of the regiment 1,
of
.Ireland, and one of the Imperial regiment of To-
ledo, who suffered a contusion.
',The enemy according to every appearance suffered
considerable loss, as there was a great quantity of blood
in the battery. There were found five-muskets, and
as many knapsacks, beside Cloaks and other things.
The Major General, Don Vicente Iglesias, in a dis-
'atch of the same date, sends advice that on the
same day, at' a quarter past two in the afternoon, a
flag of truce with a trumpet,•presented. itself, but was
not admitted, inconsequence of the orders of his Ex-
cellency the Duke de Albuquerque, and it was given
to understand so by two discharges of musketry, from
our advanced guard."
'But the intelligence which will excite the greatest
interest, relates to a hurricane which has done inde-
scribable mischief in the neighbourhood of Cadiz.
Such of the particulars as'are, known, are detailed in
the subjoined letter:

possible, their discussion ;. he would never go in :earth point,

such a discussion, though he could very well imagine std
the propagation of much evil. This was 'by no 1

the House should shrink from the assertion of its pri-
vileges when questioned. They .should, on the con-
trary, meet the discussion boldly and manfully, and

to the sentiments of others.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
declared, that after what he had heard in the course
of the debate, he should appear obstinately and per-
tinaciously adhering to his own opinion, which, how-
ever, Was not yet shaken, if he did not consent to an
adjournmenv—( Rep,'..efid cheers from the Opposition.) He
was induced to this front respect for the argvments of
his Learned Friend who had just sat down, as well as
from the unexpected lengthinto which this introductory
debate had run. Thmigh he now yielded to the opinion
of others, still he must say, if he had so yielded to his
own, he would be bailed to impute it to pusillanimity
rather than reason, and could not help thinking that the ,
delay to whichhe now agreed might justly subject them - CADIZ, MARCH 13.
