NORTH OF SPAIN.

Vvtraet of the news communicated by Don Martin de Dorm,
Lieutenant in General Portlen Division.

" This Gentleman comes from Navarre, where he
h.ld been sent with Lieutenant Colonel Maralet, with
the commission of uniting the different flying parties
which had straggled from his division, and forming
them, as well as other flying parties, into regular
corps. This they have accomplished, and have now
hi Navarre a force of 4000 infantry, well disciplined,
and well armed ; besides 500 cavalry and 1500 in-
fantry, newly raised, who, for want of muskets, march
in the mar of the +OOO above stated ; and, when op-
portunity offers, fall on the enemy with knives, broad-
swords, or any other arms of this nature. This Gen-
,loran adds, that a great number of volunteers from
Biscay, Guipuscoa, and the neighbouring provhmes,
presented themselves daily, but could not be admit-
ted for want of arms ; a few, however, were kept and
drilled. He further states, as his opinion, that 30,000
men could be armed in a very short time in the three
provinces above-mentioned ; this might be realized
by effecting a landing of 6000 men with 30,000 mus-
kets. He adds, that the French have adopted such
noel measures in Bilboa and Biscay, that even mar-
ried men fly to take up arms, abandoning their fa-
milies, &c. On the 84th ult. a party of 700 French
infantry, who were escorting thirteen carts of saltpetre
to Pamptluna, were attacked by 200 infantry and
cavalry, Spaniards, on the Carrasciel (three miles dis-
tant from Pampeluna) and only 155 escaped, the
rest were killed or wounded. _ _

•' On the 14th of July a party of 500 infantry, who
escorted 18 carts or waggons, full of fine new Toledo
sabres, were attacked by the Spaniards, who made 40
prisoners, and took the carts with sabres.

" Every day there are skirmishes of considerable
magnitude in Navarre, between the patriotic parties
and the French divisions.

" There are between 6 and 700 German troopl
vho have deserted from the French, and fight toge-
ther with the Spanish parties, and seem hearty in the
cause. There is hardly a day that does not bring
firward 13 or 15 deserters from the French. Regular
trchanges of prisoners have lately taken place in Na-
varre, since it has been agreed that quarter should be
guren nn both sides. Prior tothat the prisoners were
eltially put to death on both sides. What gave rise,
this humane change, was a memorial presented by
French Officers at Pampeluna to their General,
• which they represented that they could not, nor
~•ould not submit to such d' method of carrying on
war.

" A great number of prisoners have been made in
gavarre, who have been sent to Valentia, generally
CM monthly ; in short, the enthusiasm is so peat
and so general, and the situation of the province is
such, and SO compromised, that they are determined
In go any length to support those principles which
distinguish them actually. They have applied, repeat.
i.tly applied, to V.dentia for ammunition, but without
s.lccess.

" On the 31st ult. 500 Swiss surrendered at Sana-i
'lia to General Solsada and General Silveira (Poe.

tugnese). They capitulated to he treated with
Inanity, to be sent to Switzerland, and not to take up
arms against the Spaniards, or any of their allies.—
Five thousand French troops made their appearance
at Sanabria shortly after the capitulation. This up-
expected force obliged the Spaniards and Portuguese
to retire. They were followed about ten miles by
the French, whose intention evidently was that of res-
cuing the 500 prisoners, who had marched the pre-
ceding day for Corunna.
" Given at Corinna, August 18."

This moruing arrived a mail from Gottenburgh.—
By the accounts which it brings, little doubt seems to
be left that the Swedes are doomed to receive a
Frenchman for their master. They are taught to
consider this as a great blessing, and to expect many
future advantages from this arrangement, as may be
seen by the following communications :—The late
journey of GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, the Ex-King of
Sweden, to the North of Europe, it now appears, had
for its object the nomination of his son as Successor
to the Swedish throne.
