left Malta on the 10th Octobers Gorgetti on the 13th,
Cagliari on the 17th, and Gibraltar on the 17th No-

TUSCAN, SWALLOW, and EICTREPRENTANT cutter. The
Sandwich packet had arrived, and proceeded on for
Malta: The Speedy packet his arrived at Cadi2, and

of one of the seamen having died oitt of the Lapwing,
she is .irdered into quarantine. The MENELAUS, with
Lord W. Br.NTINCK on board, for Sicily, passed by
Gibraltar, on the 14th November, without stopping.
By the Lapwing we have received the following
interesting communications from various parts of the
Mediterranean:

" OIBRALTAR, NOV. 4.

The French have taken the Castle of Neltaviedro,
and have approached close to Valencia--a few days
'will decide the fate of that city."

" VALENCIA, NOV. 1.

ds We this moment receive the unwelcome news of
the capitulation of the fortress of Murviedro, which
has enabled the French army to approach to within
one league of this city. This is telling you that great
intents are at hand."
ALGESII2AS, NOV. 7.

41 I hasten to enclose you three authentic accounts,
the perusal of which will; I am sure, give you great
s,ttisfaction.

" General Ballasteros has the honour of informing
the Mayor of Algesiras (that he may be pleased to
make it known to the noble inhabitants of its dis-
trict) of the complete victory which has just been
obtained by the King's troops over the enemy. Part
of the litter's artillery, the whole of their park and"
baggage, a great many horses and mules, and a v sst
quantity of muskets and knapsacks have fallen into
the hands of the conquerors, who have also taken a•
pretty good number of prisoners. The field is strewed
with dead bodies. (Signed) « BALLASTEROS."

" Field of Lobo, one league from Bornm, Nov: 6. -

I. We yetterday beat and completely defeated Ge-
neral Semelle, who was in Bornos with 2000 men :
he had many killed and wounded, and among the
formei, the Commanding Officer of the 16th regi-
ment. We have taken some artillery, all their am-
munition, many horses and mules—in short, Most
valuable spoils, with which Many soldiers have en-
iiched themselves, some of them having had no less
than 1000 lard dollars td their share knapsacks,
inusketi; &c. In sho'rt, it has been a second edition
of XinYena, but with much greater advantages—
many firisoners. The cavalry has marched fin-war&
and we with the infantry are come to this place, I
think it will be to sort►e purpose; and that the sth
act of the drama, " The Field of Gibraltar," ?§: cot
yet concluded."

" We are all anxious' to hear from our General,
who is reported to hate entered Areos with a loss of
100 men, but this requires confirmation. General
Capons and the English last night commenced their
march for Vejer, with four pieces of cannon. I will
inform you of the result.
" I suppose you have already heard of they advan-
tages obtained by our troops in Estremaclura, at
Arroya del Molinos,- where they defeated the 5000
men, of whom consisted Girard's division. That Ge-
neral was wounded and flying, having lost the only
three pieces of cannon he had, the whole of his bag-
gage, and upwards of 1000 prisoners, among whom
are General Mornbrun and Colonel Duke de Arem.
