occupied by our troops. It is added, that our

unfortunate action at Ocana, had endeavoured to
stretiad 11:m on various occasions, but had never been

CORDOVA, DEC.!.

The advices daily received from the army of the
t: Are, concur in representing it as in a very respec-
Me condition, both as to cavalry and infantry, and
h.u. it is continually augmenting by the return of the
ba
iTersed and by volunteers.
We know that a party of true patriots, posted in
7',lmiarrama, has set at liberty the first division of
he prisoners taken at the unfortunate battle of Ocana,
which were on their way to France.

liive seen in one day taking that direction.

JAVA, DECEMBER 2
The French have retreated from Viso and Visalo
to Valdepinas. In Infanta they have also some

sops. The reason why they penetrated so far into
La Mancha, was, undoubtedly, the intention to de-
ve our army of the provisions which were left in
ose unfortunate places. Our divisions now occupy
same point in the service which they did before
' e present position of the enemy in La Mancha :

We mentioned on Saturday the arrival of the Pic-
ini brig at Plymouth, from Portugal. By this vessel
Major-General COTTON arrived with dispatches from
Lord WELLINGToN.—MarshaI BERESFORD was em-
ployed in inspecting the Portuguese Army, and in
examining the fortifications throughout the kingdom.
It was reported that there had been a skirmish be-
tween some British troops and an advanced party of
the French, near Villa Firena, on the froniiers of
Leon. The army lately at Badajos was continuing
its retreat towards Lisbon.

It was whispered at Paris that King JEROME had I
incurred the displeasue of the EMPEROR, in conse-
queue* of his declaring his resolution to be div• reed
from his sernr. wife, because he " had lost ail dope
of having issue by her." IL is also said to h.,ve an-
nounced his determin-tron to recognise his first mar-
riage with ?"Is; PATTERSON.
The Edward, HADDOCK, sailed for Aorlaix on Sa-
turday last, with six ladies, among whom was Mrs.
OTTER, wife of Capt. OTTER, of his Majesty's ship
Proserpine. They hired the vessel.
COMMON HALL.—In the Report given in the Morn-
ing Chronicle of Mr. WAITHMAN s speech at the Corn-
mon Hall, held the 14th December, 1809, that Gen-
tleman
is stated to have said,—" Are there not fami- I
lies in this country without the least duty to perform,
or service to return to the public, receiving immense
annual incomes oat of the taxes ?--( Hear,-Ifear .! 1--
Is it not true that the Marquis of Hertford and his
Family draw out of the Public Revenue at least
£50,000 per annum ? The two Hon. Mr. Seymours
not less than AP2,000 a year. There is distributed
from the same fund not less than £40,000 a year
amongst the family of Lord Castlereagh ?—(Cries of
:Issue I It must not 6e I)"
Mr. WAITIIMAN, in his speech in the Common ftall
on Tuesday the 9th instant, while he acknowledged
the above to be a misrepresentation, having omitted
to state the real facts of the case, of which he was'
previously put into possession ; it has become neces-
sary to np lish the following statement, which we
now do from authority :
" Neither Lord CASTLEREAGH, nor any of hie fa-
mily, hold any civil office of emolument, or any pen-
sion under the crown, either in possession or reversion.
al His brother, Brigadier General STEWART, is
Military Governor of Charles Fort, in' Jamaica, the
net profits of which are se6oo a year,paid by the island.
ag The Marquis of HERTFORD'S family hold the fol-
lowing employments :

Bench in Ireland -

Cie: e does not appear the least ground to apprehend
attack on our positions in Sierra Morena ; the
-etch have no other view than to drain that province
all the provisions they can obtain.—Advice has this
7 ken received that a considerable division of the
ny's troops,with a large train of artillery,is march-
through Guadalazara : the real object of this'
sument is not yet known.

CADIZ, DECEMBER 29. I
Ti :s no particular news from our army. The
iy is in motion ; he is abandoning the posts which
occupied in the vicinity of the Sierra, and conti-
ties his retreat : large bodies of horse and foot have
.11,ed thruugh Almozan, on their march to Navarre.
n the north of the Peninsula the glorious fire of in.
surrection spreads wide and far. The Patriots in that
curter lately attacked the Vandals, and took two
thc,s of cannon. The enemy's troops, who occupied
Aimaras and Arcebispo, have left those positionc,
zld retreated towards Madrid. It is said that Don
I..hevarri, being attacked by the French in Taran-
;:, epulsed them with loss.

tee, dated 31st May, 1809.)
" These offices were granted in reversion to the
present patentees, in the year 1766, when the late
Lord Hertford was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
and came into their possession about the year 178.1.
The profits arise from fees paid by suitors on law
proceedings, and have been raised to their present
amount in consequence of the late increase of busi-
ness in the Court of King's Bench in Ireland.

GRANADA, DECEMBER Is.
It is 1.:7.3wn that the enemy's troops, which occupy
Barceic:na, attacked on the 24th of last month, our
tanlP of Conreria, and were at first repulsed; but
t‘'lng to the vast superiority of his force, our troops
'Are at length compelled to fall back, and the French
-.-Icteedhl in burning the camp.

The above statement requires little comment ; the
misrepresentations in question would have been hardly
less striking, had they been made previously to Lord
CASTLEREAGH'S retiring from office, as he then held
do other situation than that of Secretary of State, the
salary of which is 86000 a year ; and if it is to be
assumed (for the sake of pointing at an individual)that
Lord HERTFORD'S and Lord CASTLEREAGH'S families
are to be considered as one and the same, it neverthe-
less appears that, even in this view, the utmost that
can be stated as the aggregate official emoluments of
both families (exclusive of military pay), does not
exceed £11,116, 15s. Of this sum Lord CASTLE-
, REAGH himself receives nothing ; his family oniy
Roo of the remaining. £10,516 15s.—the sow
‘.of £8583 was granted by the Crown before Lord
CASTISREAGII Was born.
