On Friday last, at eleven o'clock in the morning,
entered Morilla, the division of Valencian troops,
under the command of Captain Falcon. The enemy
retired to the Castle, where they are without cannon
and other necessaries. They were summoned to sur-
render, but yesterday they continued te defend them-
selves. Torio,a began to open its fire on Wednesday,
and continued it on the sth and 6th ; and, accowding
to a lelter written from the said city, the enemy have
had 500 killed, and a great number wounded.
It likewise states, with great probability, that we
have had another action near Bakst:es, in which the
enemy lost 3000 men ; and add, that by Mora upon
the Ebro we have sunk 14 French cannon, which were
upon the river.
MANZAUNA, JULY 15.
The Superior Junta of this Kingdom and part of
Castile has just received from Field-Marshal Don P.
Villa Campa, the following account :
" Excellent Sir—l inform your Excellency, that
having yesterday arrived at the village of Castegon,
at eleven o'clock in the day, I received intelligence
that an enemy's column had directed its march from
Calamocha. In consequence of this I ordered Colonel
Don R. Gayan, with his battalion of volunteers of
Carinena, Lieutenant-Colonel Don R. Paredes, with
the 2d battalion of the Provincial Regiment of Soli.
and 100 horse, the whole force of which the ,quadron
of cavalry consisted, to march and attack them.
The result was as fortunate as l expected, and
without any other loss on our side than that of two
soldiers slightly wounded. Our party suczeeded in
making the party, who consisted of a Captain, 103
foot soldiers, and seven cuirassiers, prisoners, with
the exception of 20 of the first, who were killed. Co-
lonel Don R. Gayan, who commanded in this action,
praises the constancy and firmness of the Chiefs, Offi-
cers and troops, and recommends most particularly
the Cadet of his corps, Don M. Aguilar, for having
fought with the greatest boldness in a skirmish, in
which he voluntarily solicited to take a part, though
only 16 years of age.

in Biscay ; and that so formidable had the efforts of the
people become, that the French were compelled to retire.
In Navarre also a glorious spirit of insurrection pre-
vailed, which pronti•ed the most extensve benefits to
the cause of the Patriots. The best possible disposi-
tion prevails among the bold and intrepid Biscayans,
' who, in order to act, only wait a better military or-
; ganization. For that purpose a British Officer set
out a few days since for the shores of Biscay, whose
business it will be to see the arms and ammunition
supplied by this country properly distributed among
the inhabitants, who are known to be willing and able
to direct them against the common enemy, and who
are expected to assemble in immense numbers, ani-
mated by a zeal from which the most beneficial con-
' sequences may reasonably be expected to result.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A BRITISH OFTIOER
PORTCGAL. DATED
'4 Head-quarters, Villa Cortez, August 4, 1810.
dl The French have not yet ventured beyond Pin-
hel, which is their advanced post in that quarter.—
Our advance is posted at three leagues distance, and
is composed principally of cavalry. The inhabitants
in the neighbourhood of the enemy leave their houses
• forsaken, taking even their furniture with them, and
driving off the cattle of every description, into the
mountains. There is no intention of relieving Al'.
meida. The cannonading from that quarter is heard
distinctly. The British cavalry is posted close on
this side the Coha, with orders to be ready to act at
a moment's warning. I need not say any thing about
CRAUFURD'S affair ; the 43d, as the French say, co-
rned themselves with glory."

Paris pipers to the 20th hare arrived, containing
MANSENA'S account of the battle with General CHAU-
FUND'S division. Though we have long been accus•
toured to the exaggerations of the Erench accounts,
the present detail surprizes us. They put CRAUFUIII;
force at 2000 cavalry, and 8000 infantry, and his loss
in killed, wounded, and prisoners, at 1500 men, &c.

THE EVENING STAR.

The BEDFORD has arrived at Portsmouth with dis.
patches from the Brazils. The Prince of Brazil:
packet, Captain HICKS, has arrived off Kingsbridge
from Rio Janeiro ; but the letters have not yet
reached town.

We have received American papers to the 22d
July: they are filled with a diplomatic correspondence
between Mr. ERSKINE and Mr. SMITH, with the im-
port of which we were long ago acquainted. Ame-
rica seems still to be split into two factions, the French
and the English, in the feelings resulting from which
all national spirit is absorbed. It is gratifying to us
to learn, however, that the Eiglish party is predomi-
nant.

We have already stated that considerable jealousy
prevailed among the Powers in the Baltic respecting
the imroduction of American vessels: the following
Decrees tend to exclude them entirely from the ports
therein mentioned :
